The third more

The USS Nimitz, which was supposed to monitor the movements of the Combined Fleet, was urgently recalled and stationed in the waters off Taiwan with the USS Independence aircraft carrier battle group to prevent the situation from suddenly intervening by the Chinese military.

At this time, the White House and the Kremlin's emergency line had not been in contact for several years, and during the Bush era, Yanayev and Bush occasionally exchanged views on certain issues, but in the more conservative and radical Mario era, the White House and the Kremlin were completely cut off, and the Arabian Sea crisis was the last contact between the two countries, and since then the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union has gone from non-cooperation to cold violence.

At this point, Mario redialed the Kremlin's line, which he was extremely reluctant. Because the United States has just lost face in a game. Now to negotiate with the supreme leader of the Soviet Union and settle the matter in a low voice is simply a violation of the dignity of a country's leader.

However, in the view of national adviser Anthony, the United States' own interests are above everything else, and even if it is a personal problem of the president, it must concede three points in the face of the fundamental interests of the country.

At the same time, Dobrynin, who served as an adviser on the world situation, was also analyzing the possibility of a breakdown of the negotiations to Yanayev, and when he heard that the Nimitz had withdrawn from the Pacific to the waters of Taiwan, he knew that the United States had chosen to make concessions in this game. This made Yanayev, who had not smiled for several days, finally breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed that this confrontation that shocked the world had come to an end.

Yanayev breathed a long sigh of relief, sat in his office chair, closed his eyes and muttered, "It is really not easy to deal with this crisis, not only to transfer the main force of the Pacific Fleet to the south and follow the Chinese ships, but also to fill the gap in the forces of Kamchatka and the Sea of Okhotsk to prevent the American fleet from launching a surprise attack on us." Hell, even Germany and France are eager to get a piece of the crisis. At least two divisions were mobilized on the border of Germany and Poland. Are you so afraid that we will use this crisis to start a war for a united Europe? ”

"But your troop movement in Ukraine has really frightened the NATO alliance countries, and even France, which has always been separated from NATO military integration, has begun to seek dialogue." Dobrynin replied.

Yanayev threw the report on the situation in Europe on the table, watching every move of European countries like a clown, originally they thought that the combined naval strength was not enough, and the United States, a strong China and the Soviet Union, would be defeated in this war, but they did not expect that the first one who could not withstand the pressure was actually the United States.

There is also a credit to the Soviet Union behind this, just when the Asia-Pacific region is full of suspicions, the Cuban side is also deliberately carrying out small actions to make the CIA aware of their actions, and at the same time, under the instruction of the Moscow Center, the troops of the Ukrainian Military District are carrying out a large-scale mobilization, and the huge momentum has alerted NATO countries and created a false impression for everyone. The Soviet Union wanted to take advantage of the Asia-Pacific crisis to launch a war of aggression.

The Soviet Union and China could concentrate on dealing with the crisis in Taiwan, but President Mario had to worry about the threat in the south at the same time, as well as the Soviet Union's moves against NATO countries in Europe. The bigger the small moves behind the Soviet Union, the more difficult it was for the United States to concentrate on dealing with the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, so the final outcome was that the United States chose to withdraw from the conflict, and China and the Soviet Union won by a narrow margin.

It can be said that if there is no Yanayev's previous situation under NATO, it is difficult to say who will lose and who will win in the final outcome, and as long as the United States continues to confront each other, it may really be the Soviet Union and China that will finally admit defeat.

Yanayev was stunned for a moment by the rapid ringing of the telephone next to his bed, which belonged to the route of secret negotiations between China and the United States, and although it was not dismantled after the Arabian Sea crisis, it was left idle. Hearing the bell ring, even Yanayev was a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the phone and said directly, "President Mario, is there something wrong?" ”

"Of course, there is something, it is about the Taiwan crisis, and I think we should discuss with Moscow to end this ugly farce." Mario said hesitantly.

"You think it's a farce?" Yanayev's tone changed sharply, "That's just your Cold War mentality, but I think it's a country protecting its sovereignty from interference by other countries." Could it be that President Mario is wrong to think that a country should defend its territorial integrity? ”

"I don't mean that, Chairman Yanayev, I'm saying that now the United States, China, and the Soviet Union should take measures of friendly consultation, instead of choosing to meet each other in the Pacific, so that it will be more difficult for us to resolve this conflict." Mario's tone was already clearly flattering, and Yanayev, who heard this, gestured to his colleagues with a V.

Everyone jumped up with a small cheer to celebrate the victory of the USSR in this crisis.

"You'd better talk to the Chinese leaders in person about this, President Mario, the Soviet Union can only act as an intermediary to help you match. Oh no, with such a familiar road as you guys, I think the USSR could have omitted even the strength to match. ”

Yanayev retreated, and the more he showed that he didn't care, the more anxious President Mario became, and sure enough, the tone on the other end of the phone began to become urgent, "Oh, no, I didn't mean that, the attitude of the Soviet Union and the Chinese side is equally important, I think we should have a trilateral meeting to jointly resolve Asia-Pacific affairs." ”

"I will respond to this proposal to the Chinese side, and at the same time, the US side will communicate with the Chinese embassy in the United States more, so as to help resolve this crisis." Yanayev thought for a while and added, "And on the Taiwan issue, I advise you to think less, maintaining the status quo is the best choice, whether it is covert action or open interference, you will violate their bottom line." ”

"Believe me, you are also those who lived through the Korean War and know how terrible this red republic really is."

President Mario fell silent, and Yanayev continued, "So President Mario, it's better for you to think it out for yourself. In the end, it is necessary to reconcile, or to continue the war to the end. ”

"I see, Chairman Yanayev." With that, President Mario hung up.

After Yanayev put down the microphone, he made an OK gesture to Dobrynin and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone can get a good night's sleep tonight." ”

"The United States has finally relented?"

"Yes." Yanayev replied.

Dobrynin breathed a sigh of relief, but then he raised his spirits, for him, after the United States softened, his home turf, now he is not the role of a mouthpiece for the dialogue between the United States and the Soviet Union, and then he has to lobby and confront his former Western friends. In other words, the retired top officials of the Reagan and Bush eras were all the targets of Dobrynin's wooing.

"It's up to you next, Comrade Dobrynin. We have already won a decisive victory, only the last statement of the United States is missing. Yanayev patted Dobrynin on the shoulder, saying that he attached great importance to this final negotiation.

Dobrynin always showed the confidence he deserved, as calmly and composed as he had in dealing with previous crises between the United States and the Soviet Union, and he was always able to navigate between the United States and the Soviet Union to reach an agreement between the two countries, so this time was no exception for him.

Dobrynin nodded and said firmly, "Don't worry, General Secretary Yanayev, I will definitely complete this task." ”

(A small mistake in chapters 458 and 459 has been changed, there is a small mistake somewhere, the nuclear submarine was accidentally written as a conventional type, and the original conflict with the Chinese Type 037 in the Vietnam War was F4, this article was changed to F14 because of the plot needs, although the early F14 was mainly responsible for air combat missions, but its aerial guns can also attack the ground, and later the D model of F14 has the nickname of the bomb cat after it has the ability to fight on the ground, so there is no need to spray.) F4 was retired in late 1996, and the first two chapters were slightly altered to pay tribute to its last mission. (To be continued.) )
