The third more

"Alright, Secretary Madeleine, let me speak with Special Envoy Primakov. The pen www.biquge.info "Mario beckoned Madam of the Secretary of State, who was clearly not Primakov's opponent, to step back. Instead, go into battle yourself. For him, Primakov was nothing more than a microphone, and he was facing the scheming man who was actually behind Primakov, Mario's nemesis, Comrade Yanayev.

Although Madeleine is somewhat indignant, Mario's orders have to be carried out, and she has no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

But Primakov does not seem to intend to spare the poor secretary of state, and everyone who has dealt with her is disgusted by those who talk about the majesty of American interference in the interests of other countries. Second, Madeleine's hawkish personality and fiery temper also made her a target in the country and society, and became the target of everyone's attacks.

In fact, Madeleine didn't do anything wrong, and if you want to blame it, her opponent is far stronger than she imagined. Everyone who has built a good feeling from the illusion that "the USSR has declined" will eventually be slapped hard by reality, without exception.

Mario straightened his expression and said to Primakov, "Actually, the purpose of Primakov's visit to Washington is clear to everyone, and on the Cyprus issue, we also hope that Turkey and Greece can reach an agreement on a ceasefire, but you know, the historical contradictions between the two sides are not something that can be manipulated by us." If all regional conflicts could be decided through a UN ruling, then the world would be much more peaceful. ”

Mario told Primakov in disguise that they didn't want to worry about it for the time being. When Turkey gains the upper hand, the United States will use the power of the United Nations peacekeeping force to suppress the situation strongly.

After all, Annan, who is now supporting the upper position, is just a chess piece that is better controlled than Gali.

"But ......," said Primakov, "the Soviet side will not abandon efforts to stabilize the situation in Cyprus, which for us is in line with the stability of the situation in the Mediterranean." And the Soviet Union was not the only one who thought this way, but another country also thought the same way. ”

"England."

Primakov moved out of Britain and told Mario that the Soviet Union was not the only country that wanted to see stability in Cyprus. Although the British air base in Cyprus has lost its role in protecting the Suez Canal, it is very important for them to quickly intervene in a regional conflict in any country on the Mediterranean coast.

In short, it was a very important springboard for Britain, and even if the Soviet Union and Britain had not yet reached an agreement, both sides were on the same page when it came to protecting Cyprus.

President Mario did not speak, and it was clear that he was thinking about one issue, which was the attitude of the United Kingdom.

Britain's opposition to the turmoil in Cyprus is inevitable, after all, he also wants to keep a strategic place in his hands, so Tony Blair is a little cautious on this issue, not wanting to offend the United States, but also wanting to ensure the safety of British air bases. The dilemma is the same as that of the United States during the Suez Canal crisis.

Thinking of this, President Mario decided to take a gamble, he shook his head, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the chances of Prime Minister Blair cooperating with the Soviet Union are too small, after all, Britain is a member of NATO, and there is no close alliance with the Soviet Union." Could it be that a few nuclear power plants want to buy off the British? It's so naïve. ”

Primakov saw that the first card he played had no effect, so he prepared to play the second card, "Oh? Is it? Is President Mario so sure that Cyprus or Greece will lose? ”

"The Cypriot National Guard is not the strength of an armored brigade, and this strength is not enough in front of the Turkish army." President Mario scoffed. The CIA has long figured out the bottom line of Cyprus, and without a strong military strength and logistics system as a guarantee, even if Greece assists Cyprus with more equipment, it will be difficult to fundamentally improve the war. As for the so-called Molfo victory? Mario just smiled, as long as Maziel threw the strength of two divisions in this place, he could make Cyprus swallow it and then spit it out completely.

"Yes, it is indeed a big problem for Cyprus alone to defeat a powerful Turkey." Primakov said with an old-fashioned sigh, "After all, the opponent they have met is the Turks with the strongest expansionist ambitions." But I don't know if I should ask a question, what are the chances that the Turkish armored forces will be able to defeat the Soviet steel torrent in the event of war? ”

"Huh?" Primakov's words caught the attention of President Mario, using the Soviet Union as a metaphor with Turkey.

Mario believed that the so-called volunteer units active in the Cyprus theater were arranged by the Soviets, but he did not think that this small group of retired soldiers would be able to stir up much blood in Cyprus. The previous so-called decapitation operations and raid occupations were nothing more than opportunistic successes in the carelessness of the Turkish army. Once Turkey gets serious, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the coalition forces to survive a week.

"Of course, the Soviet Union has always been plagued by the problem that when we decided in 1991 to make a large-scale reduction in armaments across the country, many tanks and armored vehicles were mothballed and sold, and now six years have passed, and in fact the Soviet Union still has a huge mothballed armored force, as well as artillery and fighter jets. I think maybe it's time to pull them out and see the light of day again. ”

President Mario chuckled in his heart and asked him what he wanted to do.

Primakov snatched the lines of President Mario before he spoke, "I know what you want to say, do you want to know about the large-scale intervention of the USSR in the situation in Cyprus?" We can flatten the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus with aerial bombs, with precision-guided missiles, and make this regime disappear overnight, without doubting our capabilities, President Mario. Without backing down, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus faces war. ”

"I never doubted it."

Typical Soviet-style negotiation methods, once the stalemate is reached, the war becomes the last trump card of the Soviet Union.

The United States will not start a large-scale conflict with the Soviet Union on this issue, after all, the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, President Mario, although he still maintained a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, began to feel depressed in his heart.

"Bastard, these Soviet diplomats who negotiated did not play their cards according to the routine at all?" (To be continued.) )
