The first update

When the news of Yanayev's planned visit to Bulgaria reached President Mario's ears, he began to feel deep anxiety when he heard that the other party was preparing to attack the Romanian anti-missile system. Pen ~ Fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info because he failed to make Yanayev trapped in the Caucasus and unable to extricate himself, and now let the Soviet Union refocus its attention on Eastern Europe, which is not good news.

When the US Secretary of State visited Romania, he was not only willing to ask the World Bank to provide Romania with a low-interest loan, but also provided Romania with military aid, in order to win over Konstantinescu and make him firmly on the side of the NATO camp. After all, in Mario's opinion, Romania is more worth spending energy than Bulgaria to win over.

So now hearing that Yanayev was ready to attack Romania, President Mario immediately confirmed it with President Konstantinescu.

When the presidential aide told President Constantinez Cumario that he was calling, he immediately anticipated what would happen. After all, now both NATO and the Soviet Union are seeking the support of Eastern Europe, and whoever controls Eastern Europe is equivalent to controlling the situation.

The pattern of confrontation is long gone, and if Eastern Europe fully falls to NATO, the Soviet Union's living space will be further squeezed, and then it will become even more difficult.

So Konstantinescu just thought about it a little and picked up the phone, for him, if he could get more political benefits from the United States, then he would make a deal with President Mario.

"Yes, the Soviet Foreign Affairs Department has already sent someone to inform and negotiate this matter, and the General Secretary of the CPSU Yanayev will indeed visit Romania in the near future and carry out a visit for the next economic exchanges and cooperation between the Soviet Union and Romania." Konstantinescu told Mario everything very frankly. He didn't want to leave the world overlord with the image of a deceitful villain.

Eastern Europe needed Soviet oil and gas, which is why they showed some promise to the Soviet Union even when they were out of the Soviet sphere of influence. Except for the Polish leaders, who were not particularly good-minded, the vast majority were still very sober. Even if we seek trouble with the Soviet Union on minor issues, we should not find fault with the other side on issues related to the Soviet Union's strategy.

But now President Mario wants Konstantinescu to trouble the Soviet Union on issues related to strategic survival.

"I hope that President Konstantinescu will think carefully about this issue, after all, Romania is still a friend of NATO." Mario's words were somewhat unsemantic, but Constantinescu could still make a guess, "The leaders of the Evil Empire would never visit as simple as economic cooperation, for them, this is just an excuse to break the situation." Their more important reason was about the development of the strategic space of the USSR. It is clear that Romania has blocked the expansion of Soviet power in Europe, my friend. Yanayev is simply trying to get in touch with you through the so-called exchange of economic cooperation and throw out their plans, as in Bulgaria before it. ”

"What's the plan?" Konstantinescu asked.

"The first thing to do to resist the plans for the maintenance of strategic security in Europe is the issue of anti-missile systems to be deployed in Romania. Yanayev came in this direction. The U.S. president bluntly said, "That's why we have deployed anti-missile systems on Romanian soil." Resistance to Soviet expansion. ”

Konstantinescu frowned, thinking that it was not that simple. He had a headache about whether to join NATO's anti-missile system before, after all, it was a prudent choice. If it is not handled well, the United States and the Soviet Union will unite to trap Romania.

First, Romania did not want to pay high sums of money for the anti-missile system, especially when the Soviet Union did not intend to target Romania, and secondly, it did not want to be seen as a thorn in Yanayev's side, but it seems that the end of offending the Soviet Union and offending the United States is no different. Romania is bound to pay a price.

Small countries need to survive in the cracks of big countries, and they need a certain amount of political wisdom, but unfortunately most leaders do not have it, or think they have this advantage.

The result was nothing more than the end of Libya and Poland.

"I will carefully consider President Mario's opinion and fight for the initiative at the negotiating table, believe me, President Mario, Romania knows how to deal with Yanayev's cross-examination. Oh yes, and one more question, with regard to the economic aid that you promised to Romania, we hope that the United States will increase the low-interest loans to Romania. ”

Constantinescu wanted to use this as a blackmail to ask President Mario for more loans. It is clear that the conditions given by the United States are no longer satisfactory to him. Since it is in a key position in the game of the anti-missile system, it is understandable that Romania should write more loans.

The persistent economic downturn of 1997 had already begun to hit all aspects of the Romanian economy. The downturn in manufacturing and finance will affect Constantinescu's popularity among the population, so Constantinescu needs a lifeline to stimulate the sluggish economy.

"The White House will think about it, as long as Romania does what the United States says. We will not treat you badly, nearly 2 billion dollars in low-interest loans. ”

20 billion?

A smile tugged at the corners of Konstantinescu's mouth, and he agreed to President Mario's request.

"Very well, then I am looking forward to good news from President Konstantinescu."

After hanging up the phone, President Mario's long-held emotions finally exploded, and he showed his impatient side.

"Damn the old fox." President Mario's expression darkened. Now Constantinescu is needed, and there is no break with the Romanian government, and the secretary of state has said that Constantinescu is not an easy person to deal with. He will always take advantage of the political environment to seek political benefits.

However, for President Mario, Konstantinescu is still too tender, and the low-interest loans in the United States have a series of additional requirements, and the extremely shrewd Americans are always thinking about getting the most out of the Turkish government.

"When this incident is over, I will let President Constantinescu know what it means to offend the White House." (To be continued.) )
