Chapter 897: Righteous Sanctions
A piece of information was handed to the Secretary of Defense, and Perry, who was talking and laughing, took the telegram and looked at it a few times. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The smile on Info's face was suddenly retracted, and he stared at it with a solemn expression for a long time, and even wiped his eyes to prevent his old eyes from being dizzy and mislooking. After confirming that the information on the intelligence was correct, he immediately stood up and walked in the direction of President Mario's White House.
He must feed back the intelligence to President Mario and then call an emergency meeting.
At the same time, there is also a trace of anticipation in my heart, because what I was expecting has finally happened. When he gave back information to President Mario, he deliberately ignored some important information. For example, the secret troops transported from Bucharest to the front line, this piece of information was obscured by the Ministry of Defense.
As soon as President Mario submits a plan for military action, NATO will immediately take action. At that time, the Ministry of Defense would have an excuse to organize a permanent army in Eastern Europe to maintain the idea of army expansion. The thoughts of Secretary of Defense Perry represent the careful thinking of the psychology of those hawks.
Since getting the information, Perry's expression has not softened for a moment. He thought about what direction the plot would go, and from the point of view of the present, the Americans underestimated and completely underestimated Yanayev's means. Originally, I thought that I would just bet tanks and artillery into the Vojnya Army, but I didn't expect to be so generous as to give the anti-aircraft missiles that had just been put into service to the Romanian People's Army. Moreover, the U.S. Air Force swaggered into the ambush circle, resulting in such a painful ratio of battle losses.
Minister Perry put the intelligence in front of President Mario, hoping to give a clear answer. How should they respond to the downing of a fighter in Romanian airspace. Because the White House has always declared that it will not intervene in the civil war in Eastern Europe. If these news are exposed, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face.
Heavy and painful.
"Is there any movement at the Soviet embassy? Did their ambassadors make a special protest move? ”
Mario asked. He is most concerned with the reaction of the Soviet side, and if the other side makes any trouble, the United States will be pushed into an awkward position. He did not want to start a war, but he was forced to do so by the pressure of society and the population.
If the Soviets had adhered to the idea of making the big things small, he could have guessed what Yanayev was thinking.
"There's not much going on yet. The Kremlin should have received the news that the information on these 'major victories' is likely to be released soon, and perhaps the other side is already preparing for the release. Your Excellency, I think we should act immediately, because there is a good chance that there will be a hard war next......"
President Mario waved his hand, he looked at Minister Perry and asked, "Would it do the Soviet Union or Bucharest any good if a major victory were announced?" Yanayev was not an internationalist figure, and he was planning for his own interests at every step. ”
His eyes became strange, as if he was asking himself a question. Often, only the opponent knows better what the opponent is doing. Mario held his chin and looked tangled.
"So what's in it to declare that they have won the United States? Equivalent to competing proudly with all the countries of Western Europe? I don't think they would be so stupid. The USSR wanted to get everything done in Romania in the shortest possible time. Extraneous things Yanayev will not do. ”
Slowly thinking about it, his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he gradually figured out Yanayev's intentions.
"This trick is more like a warning, warning us not to meddle too much in Romanian affairs, and it is really hard for him to use this side-knocking method to warn us. If he wants to tear his face, he will be able to let the world's television stations know the news of the downing of the American fighter plane in the plain north of the Irpathian Mountains as soon as possible. ”
"But now I can only communicate with the Kremlin in private, and the bodies and wreckage of the fighter personnel must be recovered, damn it, this is a problem for me."
Mario scratches his head, only to notice that Minister Perry is looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
The Minister of Defense held back for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence, "Aren't we retaliating?" When did the fighters of two squadrons be shot down by each other's anti-aircraft missiles, when did we tolerate such a disgrace? ”
"Nope."
Mario replied simply, "Is the Department of Defense trying to push the White House to the forefront?" Or do you have something else going on? ”
Perry frowned, not knowing what the president meant.
Mario directly singled out the minds of the hawks in the army, and at the same time did not forget to warn them that he had seen everything through.
"The war in Iraq has not satisfied the appetite of those arms dealers, so does it have to involve Eastern Europe in the war? Don't think I don't know about the DoD's dealings with Lockheed. You want to expand the size of the military through war, which is the same drama that you used to ask Congress for funding under the pretext of the Cold War, isn't it? ”
"The United States will not step into the quagmire of the Romanian war, we no longer have enough economic base to support a two-front war. So definitely don't fall into Yanayev's trap. If I'm not mistaken, his final idea was to turn Eastern Europe into the next Vietnam, you know what I mean? ”
The United States also thought that they could solve the Vietnam problem quickly, but who would have thought that it would drag on for many years after falling into the quagmire. And now Mario realizes that he is making the same mistake.
He shouldn't have poured too much energy into Iraq, even if the war was waged to safeguard the dollar's oil supremacy. Now it seems that this is still too stupid. Saddam Hussein was able to hide in this land for many years and turn the regular army into guerrilla warfare, and there must have been the sneaky support of a few major powers, of which the Soviet Union was a part.
The humiliation of the war in Afghanistan was retaliated against in the Middle East.
By saying this, Mario is cutting off the idea of the Department of Defense trying to provoke a bigger dispute. The White House chose to forgive for the time being, out of strategic considerations. But President Mario will not give up the attack on the Soviet Union so quickly, and he will definitely have to break back a game elsewhere.
In short, there is no way back in the Romanian problem.
The Minister of Defense argued, "Do we have to let the Lukzh regime be crushed and the Soviet Union will understand it only after it occupies a favorable position in Eastern Europe?" Even if they have their own selfish motives on some issues. However, on strategic issues, the considerations are the same, and we cannot allow the other side to do whatever it takes. ”
However, Mario's words are equivalent to his death sentence.
"One more thing, we have reached an agreement with the Berlin side, they are willing to leave some of the weapons and equipment behind, as compensation for the temporary withdrawal from the battlefield, including a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, we will organize a new force for a counteroffensive, so the United States only needs to send air forces to bomb, and does not need to invest in ground troops."
This is to tell the other person that you are dead set on this issue.
Mario has always been very cautious and will not directly clash with the Soviet Union on political positions.
"By the way, I'll ask the White House chief of staff to make arrangements to visit Moscow in the next few days. I need to reach a consensus on some issues with the General Secretary of the USSR. ”
He said gloomily, "It's still a particularly important consensus." ”
A visit to Moscow by the President of the United States? The parties are trying to reach a consensus on the Romanian issue?
After seeing the other party's request, Yanayev smiled, the United States was going to visit the Soviet Union on a regular basis, and it seemed that he had indeed reached the point of helplessness. But what his ultimate goal will be, one thing is certain.
He needed to retrieve the wreckage of the fighters and the bones of the pilots, and the Soviets immediately informed Bucharest so that they could look back at the debris that had fallen on the steppe.
Yanayev's chief think tank, Primakov, took on the role of military advisor. The current negotiations may involve some core and key issues in the Soviet Union, and we must be uncharacteristically firm on the issue of attitude. They will definitely not compromise and retreat half a step.
"Originally, the issue of Eastern Europe was our core issue, and the United States was in no position to point fingers on this issue. If they insist on messing around, don't blame us for bringing the war to the table. ”
Primakov figured out Yanayev's thoughts, and the determination of the Central Committee can be seen from the nuclear bomb test. They will fight the West to the end and will not compromise.
"And we can continue to blackmail the United States through Cuba......"
Yanayev waved his hand and motioned for him to pause, "Forget about the Cuban issue, we don't need another missile crisis." In fact, the Soviet Union was too risky then, but it is still today. So much so that everyone ignores that it is the United States that is now making a fuss about Turkey. We focused the world's attention on Romania and portrayed the United States as an evil invader. Call on the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe to stand up against their aggression. ”
In this way, the Soviet Union will not be the target of public criticism, and the Americans will be criticized by other countries. When all eyes are focused on the United States, it is natural to ignore what we have done. ”
In fact, at this point, the other conspiracies are irrelevant. The United States has been accused of jumping the war, and the situation is no longer conducive to Mario continuing the war. The agreement was made in order to withdraw from the war more decently.
In other words, the White House has already lost. What followed was a Romanian war against aggression. Lukzh's puppet regime will watch itself be overthrown by the people, little by little.
