Chapter 252: Annoyed and angry

Sixth Update

When the scene at the UN General Assembly reached Yanayev's ears, the Kremlin's master, in addition to his anger, was how to retaliate against Gaddafi for what he had done. Of course, his first thought was to play tricks in the latest arms deals.

In the past, when it was engaged in arms deals with Gaddafi, the Soviet side demanded that 80 percent be paid before it was willing to send arms to Gaddafi. After this UN incident, Yanayev thought about how to trap the other side in the arms deal.

A few days later, Chemezov, who was part of the Soviet arms export department, received a special order from Yanayev to replace some of the genuine tanks with the obsolete T72 tanks, and then replace the new Kalashnikov rifles with second-hand ones. If the Libyan military found no problems during the inspection, then Yanayev successfully pitted them once, and if a problem was found, then the remaining 20 percent of the final payment would be treated as Yanayev sending beggars. He's earned it back anyway.

Of course, some people will wonder why they did not just detain this batch of arms, so that Gaddafi, who had already paid for it, would lose even more. However, Yanayev considered from another aspect, that the malfunctioning weapons would affect some key battles, and the Soviet Union was the real trick behind the stabbing of the government army in the future civil war in Libya.

As for Yanayev, he will not worry about whether the interests of the USSR in Libya will be lost, after all, the USSR now does not have the right to exploit the oil fields of Libya, and Gaddafi is also ready to fall to Western countries, so it can be said that the cooperation between the USSR and Libya has come to an end.

There is no longer an entanglement of interests, so he doesn't care about letting Libya fall into turmoil, in fact, the complex situation is more conducive to the political game of great powers. Now the Libyan incident is for the USSR. Far better than being caught in the chaos of war decades later.

Of course, this is the first step for Yanayev to retaliate against Gaddafi, and the second step is to get in touch with the United States through the head-of-state hotline. In addition to the fact that the French, who were trying to win over the Mediterranean countries, had never been interested in the Washington consensus of the United States, the Soviet Union, which had always been vacillating and uncertain, became the object of the United States' struggle.

So when Yanayev took the initiative to talk to President Mario on the phone, the other party had a feeling of raising his eyebrows. The United States and the Soviet Union finally reached an agreement on some issues.

"It's great that we can reach the same agreement on one issue, President Yanayev." Mario, who was originally in a dull mood, also became comfortable at this moment. Libya is strategically important for the United States. The political adviser to the President of the United States has made an analysis of the events in Libya.

Unless a country that threatens the United States can be cleaned up, the turmoil in the Mediterranean will further deter the French from trying to upset the balance on the continent. The so-called European Union is not so final, and the old European powers, France and Germany, are constantly at odds within the framework of the alliance.

If a bomb is detonated in the Mediterranean, in the wake of the turmoil in Yugoslavia, the revival that European countries are trying to achieve will come to naught. Mario just wants everyone to know that just because the Soviet Union is in decline doesn't mean that you France and Germany have a chance to rise again.

But soon Mario couldn't laugh again, because Yanayev's waiver of aid was conditional, and he didn't want the Americans to get concessions from the Soviet Union for no reason. The USSR proposed to exchange benefits for benefits. The concession that the United States wants to make is that the United **** must weaken the no-fly scope established by Operation Southern Watch of UN Resolution 668.

This was a private negotiation between Yanayev and Saddam Hussein, and Iraq could be a dog before and after the saddle, but he had to have enough power to control his own land, as well as his army.

In April 1991, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 688, demanding that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein end his oppression of the Iraqi people. But Iraq ignored UN warnings and continued to militarily oppress Shiite ****** in southern Iraq, and Saddam Hussein simply did not choose to comply with UN resolutions.

So on August 26 last year. U.S. President George W. Bush announced that U.N. forces would begin a no-fly mission south of the 32nd parallel. The purpose of this operation is to ensure Iraq's implementation of United Nations resolution 668. In order to assist in monitoring operations, coalition forces have banned any Iraqi fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft from flying through the no-fly zone. After the president's statement. The U.S. Central Command immediately established the Southwest Asia Joint Strike Force Command, which was tasked with directing coalition forces to monitor the no-fly zone, codenamed Southern Watch, and the military operation officially began on August 27, 1992, less than 24 hours after the presidential statement.

"Looks like the rumors are true." U.S. agents already have clues in their hands about the chemical weapons deal between the Soviet Union and Iraq. But there is no actual evidence and it has been a long way off, and now Yanayev is telling the US president in disguise that we have a special relationship with the Iraqis.

"It seems that there is indeed some kind of secret between the Soviet Union and Iraq. This is to threaten Washington. Abandon the protection of the allies of the Arab countries? President Mario asked tentatively, deliberately.

"Abandon allies? What President Mario said was too serious. I just think that Iraq is also an old customer of the Soviet Union, and we don't want our customers to be harassed for a long time and unjustly, don't we? I don't see any of America's allies suffering, but I do see my allies being treated unfairly. And on top of their own land. ”

"But everything comes at a price, doesn't it?" President Mario quipped, "When Saddam Hussein has made a military repression of the Shiite ****** in southern Iraq, he will be ready to take on our military strike." After all, human rights have always taken precedence over sovereignty. ”

When Yanayev heard President Mario's answer, he mocked, "Tut-tut, you are the only conspirators in the White House who can talk so openly about such a thing as violating the international order." Of course, this is our condition, you reduce the scope of the no-fly zone, and we switch from a neutral attitude to support your military suppression, this is just a deal. (To be continued.) )
