USSR 1991

"It's not mean, my friends, and you only have half a day to think about it." Yanayev glanced at his watch, "Five hours from now until the signing of the treaty, five hours later the Soviet armor Troops will enter the Three Kingdoms to maintain stability. Of course, I don’t mind you dispatching troops to resist and so on, but don’t forget that there are still large and small loose armed turmoil in your country. Oh, by the way, the Baltic Fleet will The entire sea area is blocked, so you are really fighting alone."

"I propose to temporarily suspend the parliament." Vytautas gave Arnold and Anatoly a look, and said, "The three of us need to discuss in private before we can answer you, President Yanayev."

Yanayev made a gesture of invitation, "Whatever, I'm not going anywhere, and I'm just waiting for your reply in this conference room. And please hurry up, the torrent of steel in the Soviet Union has always followed the time limit."

As soon as the three of them left the conference room, Arnold, who was still pretending to be reserved, jumped up and down in a rage. He waved his fist and shouted, "Crazy, who does he think he is! How dare he make such an exorbitant request."

"It's useless to talk." The calmest Vytautas sighed. He took off his glasses and said slowly, "Now call the West led by the United States for help. I hope that group of politicians can get back to NATO within five hours. Come up with a plan to save the Soviet. Now the situation is beyond the control of the three of us."

"What if we can't get it out?" Anatoly asked weakly, "What will happen to us?"

Vytautas glanced at him, his voice was cold and emotionless, "What's the end? At most we will spend the rest of our lives in prisons in Siberia, and the three Baltic countries may not have the possibility of independence in another 40 years. "

Chapter 21 NATO Response

President Bush of the United States is not feeling well right now. Just as he was about to fall asleep at night, he was called to the Pentagon by a phone call. Of course, the British Prime Minister, the leader of the Conservative Party John Major, and the President of France were also spoiled for his good mood. François Mitterrand, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.The men had all come together by phone for a special meeting of senior NATO leaders because of the stormy Baltic sea thousands of miles away.

"We have received calls for help from the presidents of the three Baltic countries. If you have any ideas, you can discuss them. Try to make a long story short, and there is not much time left for them." Bush did not sit in his seat, but paced back and forth, thinking How can the current situation develop in a direction that is favorable to you.

"It's hard. Now the Soviet Union is more like a desperate lunatic. No one knows what the crazy leader will do." On the other end of the phone, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl's expression was almost mournful, with East and West Germany It has not been more than a year since the merger, and who can stand such a panic when the Baltic Sea crisis comes again.No matter how turbulent Eastern Europe is, it has nothing to do with Helmut, as long as it doesn't affect Germany.But now the brutal intervention of the Soviet Union can not guarantee the fate of Germany.

"They seem to have given up on beating around the bush to conquer other people, just like when they stationed in Prague, they directly adopted the strongest means." British Prime Minister John Major said that NATO leaders seemed to have ignored Yanayev's The turbulent crisis created within the three Baltic countries.

"The most important question now is whether we should send troops to the three Baltic countries to maintain stability." François Mitterrand, known as a French hawk, suggested, "I think it is better for NATO troops to wait and see how things change in Germany. , even if you really want to help the three Baltic countries, you can only start from Germany, Finland, and Sweden."

France is not a member of NATO, so he also opposes Western Europe's intervention in this political turmoil in Eastern Europe.

"What do you mean, François." Helmut raised his voice a few decibels, "You just want to let the three Baltic countries re-enter the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, strengthen and consolidate the barriers of Eastern Europe, and even let Germany directly Facing the military threat of the Warsaw Pact?"

François was the president of Western Europe who strongly opposed the merger of Germany and Germany. Now the old grievances between France and Germany have been brought up again because of the Baltic Sea crisis.

"Okay, stop arguing, everyone. The most important thing for us now is to resolve this crisis and teach the Soviet Union a lesson." The British Prime Minister who was humiliated by the Soviet Union has never forgotten how to take revenge on the red polar bear.Especially when the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Boris Dmitrievich Pankin, said that the Irish Republican Army threatened the United Kingdom, John Major's face did not look good all day.

Of course, the United States on Bush's side also has other ideas. He wants to know the bottom line and military situation of the Soviet Union, but he is unwilling to risk himself. Using the European Union to test is a good choice.Anyway, it's what you want.

Standing next to Bush was Brent Scowcroft, a think tank. His suggestion before Bush called was to let European countries be the pioneers to test the bottom line of the Soviet Union and keep themselves out of it.In case the bottom line of the polar bear is really offended, he can also come out to mediate.

This time the United States played the political role of the British offshore balancer.As Brent Scowcroft said, "We need to know how much the mighty red polar bear has the ability to fight back. From the moment Yeltsin and Gorbachev died, the new The war has begun again, Your Excellency President. But I think these seemingly tough measures are just the flashbacks of Russia before its death. The situation we set up more than ten years ago has not completely failed. We were able to use this to find the weakness of the Russians, even if the price is to let our European friends die, this kind of mutual loss situation is the best for us. There can only be one strong America in the world, and those so-called The established powers of Europe are but a passing day and should have no illusions about restoring a strong dominant alliance."

"Allies, be quiet, listen to me." Bush stopped the group of guys from arguing, picked up his carefully prepared manuscript and read out, "We once stopped the fascist aggression together, and now we stand together again To deal with a huge evil empire. Yes, the people of Europe are now facing the most critical moment, and those crazy communists in Russia are preparing to burn the flames of war on the free land. We cannot retreat, we cannot be cowardly, every one of us A retreat is a compromise to the dictator. So no matter how you look at it, the United States of America will choose to defend the Baltic Sea, to defend those people who love freedom and resist oppression. This is our responsibility!"

After the President of the United States finished reading the manuscript, François was not happy.

"Damn Yankee! I just want Europe to participate in this muddy water." Francois cursed softly. France tried its best to keep itself out of the way, while the United States tried its best to pull European countries into this muddy water. Among them, and the most unfortunate thing is that the British have recently had some diplomatic unhappiness with the Soviet Union. Germany was originally worried about being the front line of blocking the pace of communism.Originally, both Britain and France could choose to oppose, but now the United Kingdom is going to take a ride with the Americans to join the ranks of opposition.

A group of people with different ideas got together, and as to how reliable the American call was, François vaguely smelled a hint of uneasiness.Once the allies on the other side of the Atlantic choose to betray, they can stay out of the matter, but European countries will face the wrath of the Soviets.

"I agree to assist the three Baltic countries, just like aiding us during the Berlin crisis, to tell the people of Eastern Europe that the free world has not forgotten them." Helmut asked again in order to win over another country, "Prime Minister John, what do you think Woolen cloth?"

"We fought hard against the Iron Curtain, and now is the time for Great Britain to act. I agree to send troops into the Baltic Sea, so that the dying polar bears can feel how strong we are." John Major said.

"Since you have all said so, what else can I do?" French President Francois said helplessly, "But we will only send a symbolic troop, and I will not do stupid things like annoy the Soviet Union."

It is enough to set an example, and no one thought of a bloody war with the Soviet Union.NATO sending troops is more to remind this dangerous neighbor that the land you occupied before will soon no longer belong to you.When France was at a loss and Britain and Germany were high-fiving, Uncle Sam, who silently took a step back and was about to stay out of it, showed a sly smile.

The teleconference of the four giants in Europe and the United States was only held for an hour until the end. Almost at the same time that the leaders of various countries hung up the phone, the government spokesperson began to write and then released a statement on the situation in the Baltic Sea on TV.He also expressed that he would do his best to support those people who resisted the tyranny of dictatorship.

Bush also personally replied to the presidents of the three Baltic countries, saying that NATO countries will send armed forces to help the three Baltic countries. Please do not compromise and stick to your tough attitude until the end.The leaders of the countries who were sold and helped to count the money are naturally grateful for the generosity of US President Bush.

Anyway, it was just a form of demonstration with a lot of thunder and little rain. The German mobilization of armored forces was almost exaggerated. They ordered the TV station to describe in detail the marching route of the tanks to the German-Polish border. Another Barbarossa vibe.But people with a little bit of thinking ability know that this is just a show, and a real war is never as grand as a show.

At the same time, the British warships also departed from the mainland and headed for the Baltic Sea. John Major also hoped that through this operation, he would show the muscles of the empire on which the sun never sets.In addition to solidarity, the United States also stated that they are willing to pay one-third of the cost of this NATO operation.

Thus began a military operation code-named "Defense of Freedom".This ad hoc organization is just as ridiculous as a child's play. Anyway, the Americans are willing to pay for it, so let's treat it as a trip to the Baltic Sea at public expense.But soon the British navy found that their thinking was very wrong.

These young sailors will see the horrors of the evil empire for the first time in the Baltic Sea.

Chapter 22 The Soviet Punishment World

The presidents of the three Baltic countries who re-sit on the negotiating table appear to be much tougher than before. They directly choose to say no to the conditions proposed by Yanayev, indicating that they cannot accept the conditions proposed by Yanayev. This is equivalent to turning them into the three Baltic countries. The traitor on the pillar of shame in history.

Vytautas euphemistically stated that the Soviet Union should discuss with them and use a more subtle means to prevent the division of the allied countries, instead of relying on force to make them submit, so that the government of the country can explain to the people.Yanayev enjoyed the interesting performance of the three leaders dancing with a smile on his face. The deeper the discussion, the more he noticed something was wrong.These people seemed to be stalling for time. After three hours of meaningless discussions, Yanayev could finally confirm that the group of people was indeed stalling themselves, waiting for reinforcements.

Just when he was about to end this meaningless discussion, Putin with an ugly face stepped forward and whispered the bad news in Yanayev's ear, "NATO is mobilizing troops from eastern Germany, Finland Panzer groups and fleets were detected on the southern and Baltic frontiers. Although Germany and Lithuania were separated by Poland, the British and French fleets and Finnish armored forces were directly facing Estonian territory."

This plot was completely unexpected by Yanayev. In his calculations, NATO should at most issue a statement condemning the incident. Unexpectedly, Europe actually had the tentative idea of ​​wanting to confront the Soviet Union head-on.Then Yanayev suddenly thought of the supreme leader of the country across the Bering Strait.

Yanayev nodded towards Putin. When he turned his head to the three leaders of the country, without exception, they all looked secretly delighted. They all thought they had finally found a secret weapon that could make the Soviet Union fearful.A little disappointed that Yanayev did not show their long-awaited angry expressions. Arnold even suspected that what Yanayev received just now was not the news that NATO troops were suppressing the border, but just an insignificant incident.

First he smiled, Yanayev shook his head, and pointed his index finger at the three people on the negotiating table, "To be honest, I am a little impressed by everyone here now. How can NATO do this in just six hours? Mobilizing the army with great fanfare to put pressure on the Soviet Union, according to the character of the group of capitalists who have no profit and can't afford it early, shouldn't you use some resources as collateral?"

Vytautas just wanted to intervene, but Yanayev stopped him with a gesture. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to hear what you want to say. Our Soviets have always done things straightforwardly. Since NATO plans to fight us head-on I wouldn't mind turning the Baltics into another version of the Cuban Missile Crisis event if there was a conflict."

Hearing about the Cuban Missile Crisis, everyone's expressions changed.I saw Yanayev stood up unhurriedly, and ordered Putin, "The huge red war machine is waiting for my order. Now I will show you the real torrent of steel in the Soviet Union."

Compared with the unpredictability of the negotiating table, the Baltic Sea can be said to be worse than worse.A fleet quietly appeared here, like a school of free fish, swaggeringly interspersed in this sea area.

The waters of the Baltic Sea were calm, and the British and French sailors did not have the slightest will to fight. They were all stretching out on the deck while basking in the sun.It doesn't look like a fleet that has entered a battle state at all.Even the captain knew that this action was nothing more than a demonstration, and no one wanted to have a real battle with the lunatics of the evil empire.The exaggerated propaganda of the West for decades has branded the most evil side of the Soviet Union into the minds of these poor soldiers, turning them into instinctive fear.

A destroyer plus a few frigates, the sparse lineup wandered aimlessly in the Baltic Sea, like headless flies that couldn't find a target, buzzing back and forth, trying to find a target that could interest them a little bit.

Suddenly, the sound of a tsunami-like torrential water pierced everyone's ears, including the captain and sailors, who felt an earthquake-like roar from beyond the horizon.It felt like a huge monster was galloping towards them from the distant deep sea, but the radar screen showed nothing.

"Quickly find out what's going on!" The captain frowned, and anxiously ordered all the crew members to enter an emergency alert state, and these casual sailors hurried to their respective seats. post, complete the combat state within the shortest possible time.At the same time, their eyes were fixed on the white water mist that swept up on the sea level, and the small black dots that gradually became larger in size from afar.

When these soldiers finally saw the monster's original appearance clearly, the captain who froze in place even forgot to issue a warning at that moment.Because his mind was blank, only the appearance of a giant steel beast baring its teeth and claws and the strange rumors he had heard in the Caspian Sea a few years ago emerged.

Legend has it that the Soviets developed a transportation tool that looks like a large transport plane and a battleship. Occasionally, you can glimpse its terrifying figure rolling up huge waves on the surface of the Caspian Sea. In view of its confusing identity, I fear NATO Call it the "Caspian Sea Monster".At first, Captain Braden thought someone had fabricated a lie, but he didn't expect that the way he met the Caspian Sea monster for the first time would hit people's hearts so directly.

As for how this guy managed to appear in the Baltic Sea thousands of miles away for no reason, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union's armed forces will know the reason.

The huge steel monster seemed to have no interest in this small fleet at all. After maintaining a safe distance, the Caspian Sea monster roared past them, and the sandfly supersonic anti-ship missiles also armed to the teeth attacked the group of people. Without the slightest interest, is its goal in the sea behind the fleet, or does it disdain to fight the British at all?However, the impact that the Caspian Sea Monster brought to the British Navy was no small matter, and it gave a loud slap to those admirals who had laughed at the Soviet Union for not daring to do anything.

When everyone thought that this was the end of the matter and they could breathe a sigh of relief, the real grand finale began.This pitiful British and French fleet had just sent off the dreaded steel monster when it encountered the oncoming Baltic Fleet.The number of destroyers alone is enough to crush this British and French fleet. The dwarfed British captain Braden was stabbed in the back by a sharp blade of fear, and said to the Baltic Fleet, "This is the British fleet, in order to avoid unpleasant conflicts , please adjust your course to the east, over."

The British and French fleets did not invade the territory of the Soviet Union, so he can still speak righteously on the high seas. However, Captain Brandon seems to have forgotten that the Soviet Union is unreasonable. In their concept, the sea boundary only exists with artillery fire and missiles The farthest range that can be achieved.

Before he finished speaking, he was roughly interrupted by the captain of the Baltic Sea Fleet, "Damn, who are you? A bunch of trash from where? Is it the Mongolian navy? Our Baltic Sea Fleet has always disdain to deal with the weak Dealing with poor people, the Baltic Fleet has never been in the habit of being courteous to others, if you are unwilling to adjust the course, then we will directly charge over!"

This fleet from hell really kept its promise, and rushed towards the British and French fleets in a daze, without any intention of changing its course.

Braden, who knew that his strength was inferior to others, was forced to be helpless by the opponent's brutal and fierce reply, so he had to order the ship to adjust its course and not to provoke these lunatics. The Soviet fleet came close at a dangerous distance.When the sailors on the deck of the British and French fleets were attracted by this majestic fleet, the opposing sailors didn't even lift their eyelids, just ignored them, as if these NATO fleets were not worthy of being their opponents at all.

100 years ago, the huge navy fleet of the Empire on which the sun never set, and the peak navy of the Red Soviet 100 years later, history always likes to have some black humor that makes us laugh and cry.Looking at this huge fleet, Braden seemed to see the shadow of Great Britain at its peak.

However, the red Soviet bear, angered by the West, holds vodka in his left hand and a sickle and hammer in his right. He will use his own way to punish the entire free world!
