The third more

For the Soviet Union, the defeat of Romania was already a foregone conclusion, and Yanayev was able to break Konstantinescu's last psychological defense line without even much effort, the previous half-coercion and half-lure had pushed Konstantinescu to the edge of the cliff, and Yanayev only needed to let go of his hand and the other side would collapse completely.

Before Konstantinescu turned to leave, Yanayev said to him, "Oh yes, according to the intelligence of the Soviet KGB, Europe has sent a number of high-altitude reconnaissance planes to hover over Romania, and American satellite surveillance has also circled the skies over Romania to monitor Romanian military facilities, so now it is time for Romania to rebel." Did the USSR need the latest SAM anti-aircraft missiles? Perhaps you can reduce the losses of ground forces. ”

Konstantinescu didn't want to listen to Yanayev much and turned around and left.

Yanayev made a gesture of please, "Romania can go back to a press conference now and declare that it is not cooperating with the Soviet Union, but this seems like an attempt to cover up, will the Americans believe it?" I'm afraid even President Konstantinescu himself doesn't believe it, right? ”

"What more do you want from me?" Konstantinescu turned around, "I have promised you that I will refuse the project of building an anti-missile system with the United States!" ”

"Do you not understand what the Soviet Union meant by so-called 'cooperation'?" Yanayev sneered and said, "It is not enough to stop the project of building an anti-missile system, Romania was part of the Iron Curtain before, and now it is still within the scope of the Iron Curtain, remember, the Soviet Union will not let the pace of NATO's eastward expansion go one step further." ”

The expressions of everyone in the room were gloomy and indifferent, and Yanayev's ambitious words shocked them. Primakov could no longer think of any way to ease the atmosphere, so he could only wait until one of the parties backed down first. However, he did not expect Yanayev to take the situation of adding fuel to the fire, and he said to Konstantinescu, "What we have lost, we will double down on Europe and get it back!" We will make Western countries pay a terrible price for their actions! ”

The moment Konstantinescu glanced back, he seemed to feel that the person behind him was not Yanayev, but his loving father, Comrade Stalin. He hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look back again.

"It's just a matter of intimidating the other side, and Konstantinescu has become like that, and I really feel sorry for the Romanian people, who have elected such a president, whose political means and personal courage are far below Comrade Vladimir." Yanayev cupped his forehead and said, "Again, fortunately I didn't meet such a successor. ”

"What's next? General Secretary Yanayev? If I'm not mistaken, the reconnaissance plane just now was a lie to scare the other side, right? With his hands in his pockets, Primakov stood by the window and watched the presidential motorcade move away before wiping his already wet palms on his suit.

"Next, the Americans will come to the door."

As soon as Yanayev finished speaking, he received a phone call from the Kremlin, in which Vladimir told Yanayev that the US ambassador to the Soviet Union had just come to the Foreign Ministry, hoping to have a series of conversations in private. It seems that the Americans, already stimulated by Yanayev's madness, are now thinking about how to solve the problem peacefully.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Vladimir said, "The position of the other side is clear, if the Soviet Union does not stop its madness in Romania, then there will be a terrible confrontation on the European continent, no different from the Cuban Missile Crisis." That's what the White House has been about in general, including the standoff between the fleets, and the use of political, diplomatic, and military means to pressure us to abandon the 'missile base' that didn't exist in the first place. ”

"It's terrible." Yanayev's expression was a little helpless, "After so many years, can't the American leaders change to a new one?" Still wallowing over the glorious past of the Cuban Missile Crisis? Those who can't look forward will eventually be eliminated. ”

Vladimir asked, "Do you need us to contact the White House directly?" ”

Yanayev replied in the affirmative, "Of course we need the most efficient way to solve the problem, and I am thinking of talking to President Mario." And it's bound to be a gunpowder-filled negotiation, and hopefully President Mario has made up his mind to go to war. ”

"Please transfer directly to my telephone hotline when you get to the White House phone number, this confrontation needs to be fueled and completely ignited."

"Okay." Vladimir replied.

Yanayev narrowed his eyes, "I just want to let Romania have cliffs behind them, and there is no way back at all." ”

Yanayev, who has always been very efficient, did not resort to a "war of words" in which the foreign affairs departments of the two countries quarreled over red ears, but instead came to the most direct private negotiations to make clear the political stance of the two sides. Dialogue can solve problems, but it can also erupt into conflicts. There was not much time left for Yanayev, who had always liked to see President Mario's helpless expression.

The White House is not just talking to Yanayev, but President Mario's entire decision-making hierarchy. President Mario calmed down his mood first, and then began to talk to Yanayev, "General Secretary Yanayev, you should know the reason for this private dialogue between the United States and the Soviet Union. ”

"I'm in Bucharest, Romania right now." Yanayev did not shy away from reporting the coordinates, "And I just finished discussing with President Konstantinescu how to deal with the next NATO crisis." It looks like he urgently needs to buy a batch of Soviet-made SAM anti-aircraft missiles to prevent sudden air strikes by NATO joint forces. ”

The Minister of Defense watched President Mario's expression become very exciting, and whispered a reminder to him not to follow Yanayev's train of thought, they were here to confront the Soviet Union, not to quarrel.

"Of course, after receiving the specific coordinates, the NATO joint forces will destroy all your missile base facilities deployed in Romania, and no one can threaten the regional security of Europe, no one. General Secretary Yanaev. ”

Yanayev replied-for-tat, "Of course, no one can threaten the security of Europe, let alone the national interests of the Soviet Union. If President Mario wanted to try it, I would tell you that the Soviet Union would make it impossible for a single plane of the NATO Joint Air Strike Force to escape Romania. If you don't believe me, you can try! (To be continued.) )
