Chapter 409: The Final Trade Agreement

The third more

After a short rest of a few days, the financial authorities of the four countries formulated corresponding supporting plans for Pavlak, one is to increase the trade restrictions and protect the trade for a period of eight years, that is, on these original basic conditions, Poland will adopt an extreme economic tariff reduction of more than 90 percent for all commodities, so as to achieve real trade liberalization.

The second package was to shorten the term of Poland's trade protection, and after intense discussions among the finance ministers of the four countries, it was agreed that Poland would have a three-year term of trade protection, and the original conditions would remain unchanged. To others, these so-called world trade deal options are just a matter of worse.

After offering Pavlak two packages, US Treasury Secretary Robert also expressed the hope that this would be the last bargain, and that the United States would take decisive retaliatory measures if Poland was no longer interested in blackmailing economic and trade with the Soviet Union. In layman's terms, you play by our rules and cripple your economy with trade wars in minutes. Moreover, Poland must not withdraw from the WTO, otherwise the four countries will wage a currency war against Poland, and in short, Poland will end up with a dignified death or an undignified death.

The financial giants on Wall Street do not agree to participate in the financial war, which hurts the enemy by 1,000 and loses 800 in the end, but they will also take risks when they are forced to do so, and the final result is just that a large number of banks go bankrupt or some investment banks make a lot of money.

The United States has already put forward economic coercion in disguise, and Pavlak, who has received the benefits, does not dare to continue to talk about conditions. I want to obtain a further 15-year term of trade protection. But the United States is already about to tear its skin and assume the posture of directly confronting Poland. Pavrak did not dare to continue to threaten, Pavlac was blind, but not stupid enough to have the guts to oppose the four economic powers.

In a similar situation, Poland chose the second plan, and compared with the harsh conditions of the previous two years, Poland is confident that it will adapt to the rules of the World Trade Organization as soon as possible within three years and complete the complete transformation of the market economy.

January 7, 1996 was originally Christmas in Russia, and people celebrated with cheers on this lively day. Little did they know that a silent contest was slowly coming to an end. Polish President Kwasniewski was speaking at a press conference on television, declaring that Poland's accession to the World Trade Organization would be a change that would affect the world, and that Poland would show everyone a new Poland in the coming years.

If you look closely enough, you will find that apart from the happy smile of the Polish president, the representatives of other countries seem to be a little absent-minded, indicating that they do not regard Poland's accession to the WTO as a very important matter, but on the contrary, the vast majority of people regard Poland as a delicious little fat sheep, waiting for a feast of roasted whole sheep.

"I thought Kwasniewski was still a visionary guy, but I didn't expect that like Walesa before him, he didn't have much foresight. Others just treat Poland as a lamb to the slaughter. only then did he join the WTO. As a result, Poland will only have a return to glory in the next few years. Yanayev shook his head regretfully. In his mind, Poland has already been sentenced to death.

Seeing this, Yanayev pressed the switch of the remote control, and the picture on the TV stopped abruptly, and the screen returned to darkness. Yanayev dropped the remote control, but his mood could not calm down for a long time. The room seemed somewhat calm, except for the sound of heavy breathing and the echoing sound of the clock.

The excitement of Christmas did not ease the depression in Yanayev's heart, and he was worried that the World Trade Organization began to intervene in Eastern Europe, which meant that the possibility of the Soviet Union regaining its influence in Eastern Europe was reduced.

The deep-rooted concept of arms hegemony controlling the world by successive leaders led to the abnormal development of the Soviet economy for decades, and even if Yanayev used various means to try to save the Soviet economy, the economy often could not keep up with the strategic needs of the Soviet Union.

Anxiety is anxiety, but the road is still one step at a time. What Yanayev had to do was to speed up the pace of economic development of the Soviet Union, or throw banana peels on the road to block the opponent's pursuit, but in the final analysis, if its own economic strength is not good, it will really have to deal with the super economy of NATO and the United States combined, and the Soviet Union will be difficult to parry.

The plan for the East Europe-Asia-Pacific economic axis has been brewing in Yanayev's mind for a long time, but he has never taken a tentative step. This is the same scenario as in the Asia-Pacific Cooperation Organization, but the person who leads it will have to pay a heavy price. Faced with such an investment whose return is not necessarily proportional to the effort, Yanayev appears to be cautious.

Although in the original historical timeline, Russia should have been a member of the Asia-Pacific Cooperation Organization at this time, but after the timeline changed, the Soviet Union, which had just tried to open up the market economy, also wanted to join the game circle of trade globalization.

However, the fear of the Soviet Union in other countries, and the sowing of discord in the United States behind the scenes, made the Asia-Pacific Cooperation Organization delay in approving the Soviet Union's application to join the game circle. Although China and other Asia-Pacific countries strongly demanded that the Soviet Union's application for membership in the Asia-Pacific Cooperation Organization be approved, this part of the call has not yet impressed the resolution of the Council of Ministers.

In fact, Yanayev has already thought that if it really doesn't work, he can also co-opt China to form his own small circle, economically with a joint Moscow-Beijing organization, and politically, wait until 2001 to create the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. When the strength of its southern neighbor reached one of the three major economies, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) became the "Little Warsaw Pact". When the time comes, the war on terror will be the goal, and the military cooperation between countries will be no different from NATO's military integration, but it will only have a justifiable anti-terrorism banner.

"Let's take one step at a time, after all, the Soviet Union still has a long way to go after opening up the market. Next year's Shanghai Five-Nation Meeting mechanism will hold the first negotiations, which is also the first attempt of cooperation between the Soviet Union and China. Yanayev closed the report, and he no longer wanted to try to squeeze into any economic circle, because the Soviet Union did not like to be a rule-keeper, but a rule-maker. As with the challenge of the Bretton Woods system, the road to revival of the Soviet Union will never stop.

"An ambitious country will not condescend to the butcher's knife of Europe and the United States, but will unite all the forces that can be united against its enemies, and I think that the person who can memorize the Gettysburg Speech in Beijing does not want to be someone else's follower for the rest of his life. A man in power who is about to change China and the world is steadily carrying out market economy reforms, and although the United States and Europe are still dismissive of him at this time, he is now laying the foundation for an equally powerful red empire in a dozen years. ”

Yanayev could only endure for the time being, after all, death without strength would be the fate of Poland, and if the Soviet Union and China really came together to create a new international economic organization, they would immediately become the target of siege by other capital powers. So the road has to be taken step by step, although it is long, but there will always be a day when the end will be reached.

Yanayev stood up, the security team of the 9th Bureau at the door was already waiting for his arrival, and he was ready to go to the Kremlin for a new round of Politburo meetings.

As for the future, he had planned that in the next ten years, the Soviets would once again rise and return to the liberal camp with the humiliation and anger they had suffered.

Tremble before the red flag of the sickle and hammer symbol, capitalists.

One day, our red flag will cross the Bering Strait from St. John's to the Far East, and the October Revolution will be sung again throughout the world.

Mighty red polar bear, punish the world! (To be continued.) )
