Chapter 296: Blade Finger
The second more
The venue for the negotiations was Sarajevo, the political scene of the Balkan Peninsula. The fuse of the First World War was also the capital of Yugoslavia. As the site of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the contention of the Yugoslav Civil War in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sarajevo has always been accompanied by a cursed ominous politics, because whenever there is a major political event here, it is bound to be accompanied by the decline and disintegration of a country.
The peace talks took place at the Sarajevo State Building, the only building that was not ravaged by the fighting. The solemn marble seems to proclaim the glory of Yugoslavia, and hundreds of kilometers away from this magnificent building with flying flags are the ruins of the artillery bombardment.
The meeting was attended by the representative of the Croatians, Vranio Tittoman, the leader of the Croatian Democratic League and the person who won the most popular elections and parliamentary seats. And the shadow he hides behind him is German Chancellor Kohl. So this time the loyal supporters who stood behind the Croats were the Germans.
Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and Soviet representative Kozlovic traveled in a car to the meeting place, protected by heavily armed soldiers and armored vehicles along the way. The black sedan in which the two men were riding was as safe as an impregnable wall, without fear of an attack by extremist Croatians.
At least Milosevic is now overjoyed, because not only do they actually control 90 percent of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but even the British chose to evacuate under Soviet pressure. There is only one Germany left in the political game, which is still struggling to hold on.
Although Kozlovich's identity does not match Mishelovich very well, after all, one is the president of the country. The other was just a representative of the USSR in the United Nations. However, Yanayev never cares about the identity of the other party, as long as the political needs and conditions are excellent, even if he is a nobody. The next moment you can also become the political elite of the republic.
Kozlovich, who had just escaped death from Lebanon, stared at the man in front of him with a gloomy expression, who was described in Western newspapers as a murderous executioner, a demon of genocide. And in Soviet newspapers, he was a hero who defended the unity of the country and opposed the rule of religion. Come to think of it. Kozlovich just shook his head, political propaganda is such a thing, they just pick and choose the part that is in their own interests.
"What's wrong? Representative of the USSR. Why are you suddenly looking at me and shaking your head? Milosevic asked, puzzled.
"Nothing, just thinking of something." Kozlovich said with a smile, and he sorted out the red star badge of the sickle hammer on his chest. Looking at the building that was getting closer and closer, he suddenly said, "The next meeting must be full of gunpowder, just like this war." ”
Kozlovic turned back to Milosevic. "It's like this Sarajevo. The fuse of the powder keg in the Balkans. Isn't it interesting that Serbs, Croats, Germans, Slavs, all sorts of people with different ideas gather here? ”
"But in my opinion, these people are nothing more than enemies who stand in the way of the unity of our country." Milosevic's gaze became gloomy, like a cat that has lost the cheese in its bowl. Furious hairs stand on end, ready to pounce on their enemies.
Kozlovich's eyes half-narrowed. Slowly, he said, "It's just that your own strength is not strong enough, but it doesn't matter. I don't believe that in the Balkans can find a country that dares to argue with the Soviet Union, as long as we stand behind it, what are the Germans? When the Berlin Wall was built, he was just a wretched wretched wretched. ”
It is true that no one dares to touch the power of the evil empire, and those who try to get a piece of the pie are squeezed out, and they are still scarred. The Soviet Union is like a vengeful bear, and those countries that have hurt their homeland in the first place will use all kinds of intrigues to fight back until they realize how stupid it is to go against them.
There were many delegates leading to the meeting, but around Kozlovich and Mishelovich it was as if an invisible vacuum had been formed, and people consciously turned away from these two people with fearful eyes, as if looking at a terrible monster.
Indeed, in their minds, the Soviet Union and Serbia were no different from monsters, and the former's air strikes caused Croatia to produce thousands of widows almost overnight. And the latter's bloody and brutal massacres earned him the notoriety of the butcher of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, as the main culprits of the war, others hate and fear them.
"A weak is a weak." Mishelovich didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and sneered, "To smear a powerful country as an enemy of world peace because it is not our opponent, but to deliberately use despicable means to cover up its evil intention to divide a country, which is the case in Catholicism and green religions?" ”
"Don't ask me, I believe in communism, I don't know." Kozlovich shrugged, and with that he said that he was already standing at the door of the Great Hall, which was heavily guarded to the point of being more exaggerated than the Kremlin. Five steps, one sentry, ten steps and one post, heavily armed soldiers protected the representatives of these countries from sudden bomb attacks by certain fanatics.
The two walked into the Great Hall on the red carpet, and the originally noisy meeting stopped talking because of the appearance of Kozlovic and Milosevic, and the people around them quietly moved their chairs in an attempt to keep a certain distance from the two people in front of them. As for the others, they looked at the other place in embarrassment, deliberately ignoring the two people in front of them.
They were treated in the same way as a man sitting in his seat, surrounded by the equally spacious and unoccupied Bosnian Serb leader Karadzic.
I don't know how many people in front of him have scolded them in their hearts, but Kozlovich never cared what they thought, as he said before.
"The Soviet Bear has very few opponents, so we don't care about the life or death of a group of ants, and want to be looked at by us? First of all, you can have nuclear weapons. A group of countries that even rely on the purchase of planes and tanks, what qualifications do we have to value. ”
Looking at the entire century, there are only a few countries that can fight the Soviet Union undefeated, and this is the capital of disdain and arrogance in strength.
After the two men sat down, the General Assembly Hall finally fell silent, and all the delegates knew that the meeting that would determine the future fate of Bosnia and Herzegovina was about to begin, and that their final battle with their supporters behind the scenes would take place.
