The first update

"In the Cold War, in order to gain an advantage, the Soviet Union almost created a hellish rocket force, President Konstantinescu, can you imagine that one of the average five scientists was an expert in missile and missiles? We have the ability to create hundreds of nuclear winters, long-range missiles, intercontinental missiles that can destroy almost any continent, and now they have no opponents and can only hoard in warehouses waiting to rust.

Yanayev narrowed his eyes, and while observing Konstantinescu's expression, he said calmly, "Now, we plan to secretly sell nearly one-third of the weapons in this missile arsenal, and sell them at a low price!"

"This is what we bring to Romania. Just ask me, which of you doesn't want to be an Eastern European power? ”

Soviet missile depots?

Constantinescu's eyes widened, this is the dream weapon of Romania, as a country with limited military budget, a free lunch is always a sight to behold. What is an anti-missile system? What could be more exhilarating than having long-range missiles?

Looking at Konstantinescu's expression, Yanayev tilted his head sideways and glanced at Primakov, who was standing beside him. The other party also bowed slightly, indicating that General Secretary Yanayev could take the next step.

Primakov, who was carrying the briefcase, placed the briefcase on the table at the right time, and he opened the combination lock, which contained some of the materials.

Primakov handed Konstantinescu, who had temporarily translated the materials into Romanian, pointed to the picture above and said, "Long-range air-to-air missiles, long-range air-to-surface missiles, long-range anti-ship missiles, long-range anti-aircraft missiles, long-range air-to-air missiles, these are all weapons that the Soviet Union is willing to sell, and if Romania has any special needs, it can be put forward to us." Of course, if Romania wanted to buy road-based ICBMs, the Soviet Union would carefully consider the price. As long as Romania can afford to pay for it. ”

Yanayev had already seen the greed in Konstantinescu's eyes, and he smiled knowingly. Who does not want to acquire such terrible weapons, changing the military strength with the surrounding countries.

"Isn't the Soviet Union afraid that Romania will threaten the Soviet Union with long-range missiles?" Konstantinescu was a little puzzled, why would the Soviet Union suddenly help Romania with military development so lavishly? It's crazy, the missile forces are the secret cards of every superpower.

And it's sold at a low price, so you don't need to do it even if you win over Romania.

And the Romanian president at this time was more like a red-eyed gambler, completely unthinking what would happen if Romania had such weapons. Since Konstantinescu was already standing on the edge of the cliff, Yanayev pushed him off the boat.

"Of course, we have a reason to give up, oh no, it should be said that Romania must postpone cooperation with the United States in establishing an anti-missile program, at least after these weapons sold by the Soviet Union to Romania are deployed in Romania. And as a sign of the sincerity of the USSR, we are willing to give Romania three Iskander missiles for free. ”

Yanayev knocked on the table with his hand and stressed to Konstantinescu that "this is also the latest Soviet development of the Iskander specifically designed to deal with anti-missile systems." ”

Yanayev also emphasized two words that made Romania aware that the Soviet Union was developing weapons for anti-missile systems.

"Iskander? Is it the weapon of the anti-missile system that the Soviet Union has been vigorously recommending recently? Konstantinescu did not expect Yanayev to be so generous, and for a moment he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

All of Eastern Europe knew that the launch experiment of Iskander directly caused Bulgaria to delay cooperation with the United States, which was why other countries were afraid of the Soviet Union.

"Yes, that's the first condition we put forward. The second condition is that the Soviet Union is willing to sell the SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile, and it is a specially modified land-launched version. ”

When Yanayev threw out the SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile, Primakov, whose expression was somewhat complicated, subconsciously glanced back at Yanayev. I saw Yanayev staring at each other tightly, crossing his hands to block the corners of his mouth, while Primakov's side position could clearly see the smile outlined at the corner of Yanaev's mouth.

The SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile is clearly not on the list of sales, and Yanayev is completely improvising when he says this. Primakov thought about it carefully and suddenly realized why Yanayev suddenly came up with SS-N-21, this is simply a hot potato!

The SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile, because it strikes European countries even faster than the strategic ballistic missiles of the former Soviet Union, and does not provide early warning like ballistic missiles, has included the missile in the framework of the ongoing negotiations with the former Soviet Union on the INF Treaty. In accordance with the Treaty on the Elimination of Short- and Medium-Range Nuclear Weapons signed by the United States and the Soviet Union on 8 December 1987, the SSC-X-4 of the former Soviet Union, the BGM-109G Tomahawk land-launched cruise missiles of the United States, and the Pershing intermediate-range ballistic missiles were all destroyed within three years. However, because the SS-N-21 Garnet missile is a multi-purpose cruise missile developed according to the principle of one bomb and multiple types, it has a high degree of technical versatility, so once necessary, the sea-launched and air-launched models can be quickly converted into land-launched models.

The SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile will now be repurposed to a land-launched version and then sold to Romania under the guise of being sold. Once Konstantinescu agreed to the Soviet sale, it was tantamount to lighting a fire under President Mario's seat and burning the other party on the back burner.

Who would believe that Romania bought Soviet SS-N-21 long-range cruise missiles at extremely low prices, and any country would only think that Romania had come together with the USSR and secretly deployed long-range missiles that threatened the whole of Europe.

As a result, the Romanian president was at a loss for words and could only swallow the bitter fruit himself.

"But wasn't this thing destroyed after being included in the INF Treaty? Once the USSR sold such weapons to Romania, how could it face the accusations of the United States and NATO? The Romanian president asked cautiously, after a hot mind, the Romanian president, who gradually regained his senses, was still very sober.

Yanayev had already thought of a countermeasure, and he explained to Konstantinescu, "There is no need to worry about this, we will sell the Romanian Air Force an air-launched version of the SS-N-21 cruise missile, and then send technicians and provide the necessary parts and equipment for replacement, so that you can turn it into a land-launched SS-N-21 long-range cruise missile at any time." The plan was seamless and completely avoided the eyes of the Americans. ”

Naturally, this little trick could not be hidden from the eyes of the CIA, but Yanayev wanted to make the Romanian president think that he could hide it from the eyes of the Americans, so that the Soviet Union's deceptive drama could continue.

Yanayev waved his arms, looking like a product salesman with excellent contact, and even Primakov, who was on the side, was secretly amazed by Yanayev's ability to flicker, he raised his hand to look at the dial, and it was only an hour from the time he first stepped into the conference room to the time he was in full control.

That is, it took only an hour for Yanayev to put the Romanian president in the prepared trap.

"And given the peculiarities of Romania, all missiles sold to the Romanian army will be disposed of at a third of the price. In this way, the Romanian president will not have to worry about funding. This was the only time the Soviet Union had disposed of missiles at a low price, and it was hoped that President Konstantinescu would seize the opportunity. ”

Romania's economy has always been extremely poor, even in the Warsaw Pact camp at the beginning, it was only a role of lagging, considering the problem of funds, Yanayev gave him a three-fold discount.

Naturally, the SS-N-21 long-range cruise missiles could not be bought with three folds, but they were enough to fool the Romanians.

As long as Konstantinescu nods in agreement, then he will bear the wrath of the United States in its entirety.

Yanayev looked at President Konstantinescu, who was a little carried away, and pretended to be kind to remind the other party, "Soviet aid is always demanding, that is, Romania must delay cooperation with the US anti-missile system from beginning to end." ”

"Of course there are no problems, General Secretary Yanayev."

In the face of such generosity in the USSR, Konstantinescu could have laughed out loud in a dream.

But I didn't expect the Soviet Union to lose a hot potato without saying a word. (To be continued.) )
