Chapter 889: Iron Chain
Despite the blockade of the entire Cuban coastline by the United States aircraft carrier fleet, the Cuban side did not show the tension it deserved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As if all this had nothing to do with it, the government continued to show an unusually calm demeanor and turn a deaf ear to US intimidation. The more Castro behaved, the more panicked the American side became. They have reason to believe that the Soviet Union must have other means to hide in the shadows, until the critical moment comes to the surface. The Los Angeles-class submarines have even stepped up their cruises in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to find the massive bodies that hide in the dark depths of the sea.
Northwind scale? Or Kilo-class?
Maddeningly, however, they found nothing.
Not a single freighter from the Soviet Union entered the Gulf of Mexico, and there was no sign of war. A small piece of news that spread out of the KGB turned into a torrent that locked the Nimitz class in the Gulf of Mexico and did not dare to move. The U.S. Navy feared that the pervasive Soviet Union would fly the red flag of victory over the Havana sky of Cuba if it made a mistake.
No one wants to see missile bases on Cuban soil again.
Surrendering soldiers without a fight, Yanayev's realm has reached the point where a sentence is better than a million soldiers. Even Castro, who has made secret deals with Moscow, can't help but lament that the current Kremlin leaders are even more terrible in terms of political means than those who came before them.
It's not a bold attack, but precise control and control to win the biggest victory with the least loss. Compared to Khrushchev, who threw leather shoes at the UN General Assembly, and Brezhnev, who liked to give himself medals, Yanayev was simply the best Soviet leader.
"A brave tyrant is nothing but the world's ridiculous prejudice against Ivan the Terrible, and if he is really as useless as he imagined, how can he become the monarch who ushered in the great Tsarist era."
"The general secretary of the CPSU in front of you is a monster even more terrible than Ivan the Terrible."
For the miscalculation of the White House, Castro naturally gloated. But he was more concerned about another deal with Yanayev. The deal was the subject of that secret conversation, and it was the target of the Cuban government's attention.
It was a Soviet commendation for Castro's cooperation.
That's why now the Cuban government will fully cooperate with Yanayev to play this scene well.
"The Government of Cuba strongly condemns the blockade of the Gulf of Mexico by the United States fleet and will respond to the brutal actions of the United States Navy. Cuba will not end its cooperation with Moscow because of the coercion of the Americans, and the proletariats of the whole world will stand up against the tyranny of US imperialism......"
The Cuban press spokesman used the most vehemently rhetorical words to protest the actions of the United States, although the condemnation was not misplaced. But there is always a need to show an attitude that Cuba is not degrading.
Looking at the righteous and solemn speech of the spokesman of the Cuban government on the TV screen, Yanayev smiled slightly. He was very satisfied with Lao Ka's cooperative performance. Although I just said a lot of nonsense, there is one sentence that catches the point.
Transactions between Cuba and Moscow...... This sentence is enough to make the Americans think about it, and under their own tricks, I am afraid that the Kremlin elite can make up a more complex conspiracy.
The top echelons of the American elite will have a chance to take advantage of it first.
The harder Castro's performance became, the more impatient Madeleine became to negotiate a second time with Yanayev. The venue of the negotiations was still the same in the last conference room, and although the environment and people had not changed, Yanayev could still feel subtle changes, such as Secretary of State Madeleine's expression becoming visibly impatient. Washington put more and more pressure on her, and even ordered the other party to solve the problem in a short time. As long as the situation between the two regimes is stabilized and the internal problems of the NATO joint forces are resolved, he can then dispose of the rebellious Vojnea government and retest the external environment of the Soviet Union.
Washington doesn't want to drag it out anymore.
"We don't want to drag it out either, but ......"
Yanayev paused, deliberately picked up the manuscript paper on the table, and said slowly, "But the attitude shown by the United States makes us feel very embarrassed. If you want to settle the problem peacefully without giving any concessions, do you really think that as long as Washington puts pressure on the Romanian issue, we will back down? Excuse me, don't even think about it! ā
The conversation stalled again, and Madeleine's first tentative attack ended in failure. However, they generally lower the psychological expectations of the other party first, and wait until the time is ripe to throw out their goals, and finally achieve the purpose of the transaction.
It is true that the general secretary of the CPSU is taking a hard line, especially what he thinks should be his own. It will definitely not take half a step back, so that people can take advantage of it. That is why negotiations between them and the Soviet Union were always on thin ice.
It's a real annoying thing to have a dripping guy......
Madeleine silently cursed the damned Soviets.
"General Secretary Nayanayev thinks that under what conditions should we solve the problem?"
He had a headache, he had completely lost to the other party, and he wanted to hear what Yanayev had to say.
He immediately brought the words he had prepared to the table, so that Madeleine could realize her purpose.
"The Bucharest problem is not without the possibility of retreat, we will definitely not give up the political center of the country, but to say that you are in a hurry to solve the Romanian problem, are you planning to do something to Berlin? If you don't solve the problem on this side, the situation may be difficult to control if you fight at both ends. ā
Madeleine was confused by the question.
"What?"
Even if Madeleine doesn't say it, Yanayev has largely guessed what the United States is about to do.
"You're going to make Berlin your next target when it's all over, aren't you?"
"In this way, the idea of the USSR was that if you abandon Berlin's actions, we can take a step back on the issue of Bucharest. Even if you are stationed in Luke, we will not say a word. ā
Madeleine's heart fluttered and it was the equivalent of agreeing to divide the way ā and President Mario had wanted to get that step in the first place. Now the Soviet side has taken the initiative to help the White House in disguise.
Our premise is to end the attack on Germany, which may be a bit difficult for the American side to accept, but it is indeed the best outcome. At least Lukge still has their troops stationed.
Yanayev looked at Madeleine's face as if he had read all the thoughts in her heart, but only chuckled and did not say much. The retreat was only to prepare for the next attack, and after Madeleine agreed not to attack Germany, Dobrynin's side would make the next move.
"For the sake of a traitor, you have made a special concession from Bucharest, for what are you for? Don't tell me that the USSR did not hesitate to launch nuclear threats and sell missiles to Cuba just for the sake of Germany? ā
"Secret."
Yanayev smiled mysteriously and said, "Since you agreed, then you are not responsible for the rest of the matter, the Kremlin will be responsible for the follow-up plan." According to the agreement between us, the Airborne Forces will be withdrawn within the specified time, and the same will be true for your combined NATO forces. The Romanian problem is left to the Romanians to solve on their own, and we do not interfere. ā
Yanayev's attitude made Madeleine uneasy, and she believed that the conspiracy behind the Soviet Union would never be so simple. There may even be a more insidious and vicious follow-up plan hidden behind it.
Yanayev's generosity is overwhelming. But having reached a consensus, she had no reason to go back. Otherwise, Washington will shift all the blame to itself, and Madeleine's career will be finished.
Yanayev was in complete control of the situation, and the next thing was to wait for the Americans to reach an agreement and withdraw his troops.
If the other side reneges on the previously signed agreement, then the Soviet Army Group also has a reason to open its troops into Romania.
This is not a Romanian army group that has not yet been established, but the latest informationized corps, and in order to hone his informationized combat capability, Yanayev entered Romania as a volunteer unit to fight in the absence of a foreign war.
Anyway, this move, Yanayev ate the opponent. Behind the pleasant cooperation is the timing of the start of the war. When shaking hands and smiling and working happily, they are also calculating each other's next step.
Now it's time for him to increase the combat capabilities of the Voynea troops. The upgraded T55 tanks alone could not penetrate the brutal M1A1, nor the old Scud and Sam 4 alone could penetrate the F15 or F16 air strikes. Romania has experienced a decade of economic slump, and it will be difficult for the army to recover the morale that it had previously overthrown Western Europe.
He needed to retrain the pro-Soviet forces in Eastern Europe into the steel army that had intimidated Europe. Even if faith has been annihilated, their glory has become a thing of the past.
Woineia is waking up, an army that has long been paralyzed and sunk. Only the banner of the people's army will never fade.
"Let Western Europe tremble, let the world fear, and after the red polar bear takes the first step, our revenge will not end. Look at how many despicable means the self-proclaimed righteous capitalists have done. They control everything and exploit the people, but from this moment on, I want to tell everyone that the economy of Romania is no longer held hostage by a group of oligarchs, the people will not hide in the sewers and live miserably, and the goal of our army is to live better and more dignified for the people! ā
