Chapter 638: Soviet-phobic plot
The second more
Unlike Georgia, which is surrounded by war, the White House is still a calm, brightly lit night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info bedroom was dark, and President Mario had already fallen asleep, but the rapid ringing of the phone pulled him back from his dream.
The gloomy bedroom is illuminated by a small lamp at the head of the bed.
President Mario picked up the microphone in a daze and said hello. The content of the phone made him wake up suddenly, he lifted the quilt, held the microphone and whispered, "What did you say?" Are you sure? Okay, I'll get up right now and head to the Pentagon. ”
After saying that, he stood up and changed his clothes, and his wife, who was sleeping on the side, also woke up and asked in a low voice What was wrong?
President Mario said anxiously while wearing a tie, "Something happened in Georgia, and it was a very serious accident. I have to make a trip to the Pentagon now. ”
After speaking, he gently kissed his sleepy-eyed wife, rubbed her hair, and said gently, "You go to sleep first, dear, I'll be back soon." ”
By the time he arrived at the Pentagon, the Secretary of Defense, the CIA Director and the State Adviser were already waiting for him. The director of the CIA put the latest intelligence in front of the president, looking a little nervous, "The Soviet Tu-95 strategic bomber formation with tactical nuclear weapons was intercepted by F16 fighter jets that urgently lifted off three hours ago in an attempt to approach Turkish airspace. Now relations between Turkey and the USSR have entered a very tense state. A war could break out at any time. ”
Director Tenet added with some trepidation, "And there's a good chance of a nuclear war." ”
Hearing about the nuclear war, both Defense Secretary Perry and State Adviser Berger's faces turned very ugly, and no one could doubt what Director Tenet said, and the Kremlin lunatics have made Georgia their forbidden side. Once anyone intervenes, they will fight back desperately.
President Mario groaned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of the intervention of the American fleet in the Black Sea that the nerves of the Soviets have been stimulated?" ”
No one can answer Mario's question, and God knows what the political maniacs in the Kremlin think, and the start of a war at the slightest disagreement seems to have become an important hallmark of Moscow politics. Dealing with the tough and arrogant Soviets, everyone seems cautious and apprehensive.
"Or did the Soviets want to use this risky approach to force the United States to withdraw its fleet from the Black Sea?" President Mario slowly thought along the lines of thought, "From the previous way of fighting the Soviet army, we can see the change in the thinking of the other side. After being unable to compete with the United States for world hegemony, the Soviet Union's military construction began to shift to informationization. In other words, they are no longer building a 'doomsday army', but building an information-based army that can compete with the United States. It would be unwise to want a nuclear war at this time. ”
"But Your Excellency, this is just speculation. None of us dared to guarantee that the USSR would not engage in a nuclear war. "Originally, Secretary Perry wanted to say that no one dared to guarantee what kind of thing a madman with his hand on the nuclear weapons button would do. But he swallowed it anyway.
National Security Advisor Berger objected to Secretary Perry's words, "But I think the likelihood of a nuclear war is too low, and the Soviet Union is now focusing on economic construction, and it is not good for anyone to break out at this time, isn't it?" ”
Perry glanced at Berger and sarcastically unclear, "Do you know what the Kremlin people are thinking?" Are you a roundworm in their stomach? ”
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder on the conference table was getting stronger, President Mario had no choice but to say a loud word of silence. The originally noisy conference room suddenly fell silent. President Mario stared sharply at these "Soviet-phobic" colleagues one by one, trying to cheer them up, "We are not trying to provoke a nuclear war with the Soviet Union now, nor are we telling them that we are afraid of nuclear war, we have to communicate with the Soviet side, and everyone sits down to solve the problem." ”
"The situation in Georgia is very good for the Soviet Union, and Tbilisi is almost surrounded by Soviet troops, so I think the chances of a nuclear war with Turkey are very slim, and now someone has to go to the Kremlin and negotiate with their general secretary."
"How to negotiate?" Advisor Berger said. He had expected the mess to fall on him, and the hard-line conservative Secretary of State Madeleine was not fit to appear in Moscow as a negotiator, and perhaps even President Mario was worried that she would mess everything up, after all, this woman was the one who had quarreled directly with the Soviet Foreign Minister in a diplomatic setting.
"Convey to Moscow the meaning of the United States, the entry of the American fleet into the Black Sea did not mean to declare war on the USSR, we simply wanted to protect the security of the Turkish alliance. As for Moscow's perception of the misunderstanding between us and the Soviet Union, I hope that Berger advisers will explain it to Moscow well. ”
After President Mario finished speaking, the people below fell silent. It is clear that the President of the United States is also apprehensive about the madness of the Soviet Union, and he has been intimidated by the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons many times during his term of office, and this President has done helplessly.
Since the fifties, the Soviet-phobic plot has slowly spread to the top of the American political hierarchy, and even the current military has tried every means to increase its funding and use various means to put pressure on Congress. Even in the American newspapers, sensational words such as "the invincible Soviet army" and "the Soviet army - the beginning of the end of the United States" appeared.
If he could, he would really like to follow Yanayev's example in the army and send all those who are trying to find money to meet Washington, the father of the nation.
"There's another important thing to report to President Mario."
"We received a call from Georgia, it was Gorbachev, and it seems that the situation in Tbilisi is very serious now, and this old fox has to think about his own political future," said Director Tenet. ”
After hearing Gorbachev's name, President Mario's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"He hopes to be able to secure political asylum in the United States before the Tbilisi army is defeated." "Escape Georgia before the Soviet siege of Tbilisi is complete," Tenet said. ”
"So now we will be able to talk directly to Gorbachev?" President Mario asked.
"Of course, he left us a secure communication channel, and now the Pentagon can get in touch with the Tbilisi front."
"Connect now." President Mario said hurriedly. (To be continued.) )
