The second more

When Madeleine and Shevardnadze appeared at the Ankara meeting, it caused a small sensation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info reporters, especially those who squatted outside the meeting, hurriedly gathered the spotlight on these two heavyweight politicians. Shevardnadze greeted reporters with a smile and expressed Moscow's concern about the political situation in Turkey in fluent English, while calling on all parties to remain calm and restrained and return to the negotiating table to resolve the issue of the situation in the Black Sea. After saying that, Shevardnadze also smiled and glanced at Madeleine, with a vague meaning in his eyes.

When the two giants of the Cold War gathered together, they both had the smell of gunpowder intensifying. The Soviet Union had already sealed all the pieces that the United States could fight back in the previous chess game, and now it was only left to give the opponent the final blow.

Secretary of State Madeleine, by contrast, was much more cold. Many of the questions raised by reporters were answered in a perfunctory manner. The spotlight was imprinted on the face of the Iron Lady Secretary of State, looking a little cold and indifferent. Dressed in a gray suit, she focused on the rest of the meeting, the Iron Lady's nickname was not a vase ornament, and Madeleine believed that she would use the strongest means to break a game for the United States.

The Turkish incident has touched the sensitive nerves of the leaders of the two superpowers, and it has also affected the interests of countless people. But compared to Madeleine's stern appearance, the Soviet representatives were more casual.

The dazzling crystal chandelier in the conference room is exuding a soft light, but the warm light cannot ease the tense atmosphere of the scene. US Secretary of State Madeleine was the first to break the silence when he accused the Soviet representative Shevardnadze, who was sitting opposite, of meddling in the internal affairs of Turkey.

"The Turkish issue is, after all, a question between Turkey and its allies, and it seems that the Soviet Union intervened out of thin air. Moreover, the Black Sea dispute was a matter between the Soviet Union and Turkey. But let's not forget that the United States is a loyal ally of Turkey. There is no reason for us to watch our allies lose ground. ”

Secretary of State Madeleine held her chin in her hand and smiled softly, but her tone was much tougher than Shevardnadze had imagined, "So of course the United States has a reason to intervene in Black Sea affairs." It is our duty to defend the interests of our allies. ”

Shevardnadze shook his head with a smile, and said while listening to Madeleine's talk, "I thought that the United States would at least take some measures to cover up your ugly things, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless and direct now?" Who instigated Turkey to shoot down Soviet fighters and then kick its allies away? Looks like an American, right? Who refused to provide political asylum in the first place and forced Demirel to sign a treaty with the Soviet Union? It seems to be the United States again, right? I really don't know where the Americans came from to emphasize that they are Turkey's most loyal allies. ”

Madeleine did not expect Shevardnadze's accusation to be so sharp, and her face suddenly became ugly, and General Mazyel, who was on the side, also pretended not to hear these words. But Shevardnadze refused to miss the opportunity to mock the secretary of state, continuing, "Again, what does it mean to sail an aircraft carrier battle group into the Turkish Inland Sea this time, regardless of the feelings of the allies? Ready for armed intervention in the coup d'état in Turkey, to re-prop up the pro-Western Demirel regime? IMHO, is this what the United States does with its loyal allies? Then I am really sad that Turkey has such an ally. ”

Madeleine clenched her fists, and every word Shevardnadze said was like a thorn piercing her heart. She was angry, but she couldn't struggle.

Maintaining maximum restraint, Madeleine sneered and said, "What about the Soviet Union? Sending the Black Sea Fleet to Turkish waters for live-fire exercises is your way of saying peace? Why not just aim missiles at us and declare war directly? When you accuse the United States of not being a good person, please reflect on what you really are! ”

"We are encircling Turkey's rights and interests, and when you force Turkey to sign a joint trusteeship treaty in the strait, the United States should have an obligation to stand up and refute what you have done. Turkey is a sovereign and independent country, and the Turkish straits are an integral part of their territory, and the Soviet Union has no reason to force Turkey to share the straits, just as you cannot let other countries share Moscow. ”

Madeleine's words were so eloquent that even General Maziel, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help but glance sideways at this powerful woman. I thought that it was indeed a representative of the Americans, and his demeanor was irresistibly strong.

Shevardnadze changed to a more comfortable sitting position and waited for Madeleine to finish playing her cards. Now it's just a tentative attack from both sides. Presumably, under her blue eyes, there are more unspeakable conspiracies.

He began to ridicule each other, Shevardnadze will not care about the faces of the Americans when he speaks, and he will definitely not hide what he can say, "At least it is much better than the United States, look at the good fate of the countries that have become allies of the United States in history?" You are just hoping to cultivate your own regimes around the world. ”

"You!" The enraged secretary slammed her hand on the table for the first time she had shown a gaffe. In the face of Shevardnadze, a battle-experienced foreign minister in diplomatic situations, Madeleine does not seem to have any advantage.

However, before this negotiation, Shevardnadze had already found out the details of the Iron Lady. In the face of Madeleine's anger, Shevardnadze was completely unimpressed.

"As a hawkish politician in the United States, I remember that Ms. Madeleine once said unruly that the United States could do whatever it wanted in the world. You served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from January 1993 to the beginning of this year. In the case of the genocide in Rwanda, you represented a series of acts of inaction and even obstruction of the United Nations intervention by the United States, which objectively connived at the killing of Hutu extremists and caused serious consequences. and when the United Nations intervention in Somalia failed in 1993, Ms. Madeleine also shifted the blame to then-UN Secretary-General Ghali. At the United Nations, he launched a single-man attack on Gali, insisting that he leave the United Nations. You even said something like, 'It's useless for anyone to talk, the attitude of the United States is very clear that there is no possibility of compromise.'" You ended up ousting Ghali from the throne of the UN Secretary-General. The goal of squeezing out Gali was achieved, and finally the United Nations was brought to the knees of you, the representative of the United States. And your tough attitude has caused shock. It's fair to say that these iron-blooded tactics have earned you the reputation of the Iron Lady and laid the foundation for you to sit in the position of Secretary of State today, isn't it? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, save for Secretary Madeleine's increasingly rapid breathing, and her face, which was flushed with anger.

Shevardnadze still had an inexplicable expression on his face, staring at the other's ugly and distorted face as if he were looking at a precious work of art. Not to mention General Mazyel, who had a hesitant look on his side. When he listened to Madeleine's black history, the thoughts that had been wavering in his heart became even more shaken.

"Is there anything else I would like to add?" Shevardnadze said calmly. These "political secrets" have little to do with the trilateral talks with Turkey, but they can put pressure on the opponent and disrupt the opponent's balance. So as to gain a head start for yourself at the negotiating table.

A woman who dares to be ruthless to the UN Secretary General, will General Mazyeer really agree to cooperate with the United States? Shevardnadze is looking forward to Mazjer's next attitude.

Shevardnadze quietly set up Madeleine, waiting for the other party to fight back against him. Anyway, an old fox like him, who has dealt with diplomats from various countries, is not comparable to someone like Madeleine, who has just taken the position of secretary of state.

Shevardnadze crossed his hands, admiring the secretary of state's embarrassment, waiting for how she would fight back. (To be continued.) )
