The first of the five watches

Chirac was very satisfied with the Soviet Union's "concessions" in Libya, which was equivalent to allowing France to sell the oil fields in the northeastern region of Villa with bare hands. However, the Soviet Union is not a fool, it is the oil producing areas controlled by other agents, so he will not cede the interests of the Butifle pool to France, anyway, now the Soviet Union is also ambitious but has no strength, rather than always thinking about expanding the territory, it is better to manage its own acres and thirds of land with peace of mind.

But Chirac thinks differently, like a greedy man who meets a mountain of jewels and desperately tries to take all the benefits for himself, but forgets that every plunder means encroaching on the interests of others, especially using Gaddafi's government forces to suppress the proxies supported by Germany and Britain.

It's not a clever way to transfer flowers and trees, Chirac just channeled the disaster of government forces to the territory of Germany and Britain, so that Cole's life was not easy, oil production fell to only a quarter of the previous output, and with the war after all, Cole became more and more anxious, and could only ask France to launch air strikes again, but this time, Chirac refused. His request was very simple, if France sent troops, he could exchange the oil fields for himself.

Germany did not have long-range strategic bombers, but that did not mean that Britain did not, and the Royal Air Force was much stronger than the castrated German army. So Chirac didn't think about looking at Britain's face at first, after all, he knew that no matter how much Britain was pressed, Britain would never let go, so he simply threatened Germany directly to see if it could make a profit from it.

But Kohl was not stupid, and Germany was not poor enough to sell out Libyan oil interests, so Kohl turned to Britain to carry out precision strikes against government forces vying for oil towns, and Germany and Britain joined forces to annex the oil-producing areas around Tripoli, and counted France's share to let France know the fate of eating alone.

Cole was very angry at France's "betrayal", and he was not willing to sit back and watch France benefit from the Libyan operation, France, which was supposed to be the vanguard of the Libyan war, began to push back after acquiring the oil fields, and Britain was unable to provoke the heavy responsibility of air strikes. In fact, this air raid on Libya does not belong to anti-terrorism, although on the surface it is to protect human rights, in fact, it is to subvert the regime of other countries, meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, and there is a suspicion of surpassing United Nations resolutions, since World War II, Germany is very cautious in the use of foreign troops, and the opposition is very strict in supervising this, Kohl saw through the essence of this military operation, in order to keep the position of the chancellor of East Germany, will use the method of killing people with a knife.

"The international community has been very lively these days, the German Chancellor's visit to Washington, followed by the US-led NATO military bloc began to air strikes on the active government forces in the Tripoli region, and a few days later the French oil fields in Libya were attacked and suffered heavy losses. It seems that the NATO side has already made a move. "Yanayev is like an outsider, using the puppet line in his hands to manipulate the evolution of events in Libya, and after the attack on France, he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, give in or fight?

This required the Soviet Union to get in the way and push the French. Let him realize that the Soviet-French union is much more advantageous than hovering on the edge of the EU. After all, France is a country that wants to establish the Union of the Mediterranean and boast of its economic strength as the lion of Europe. From Charles de Gaulle to Jacques Chirac, France was unwilling to be manipulated by the United States.

That being the case, the Soviet Union would add fuel to the fire, making France a second ally in Europe that would disintegrate the EU and threaten the NATO military bloc.

"In five days' time, French Defense Minister Michael-Potipio will visit Moscow, and I think they're also coming for Libyan oil, this time probably to deepen military cooperation between France and the Soviet Union, and to build a broad military alliance." Comrade Yazov's eyes lit up, and he believed that France was now feeling the pressure from Libya, so he was eager to get closer to the Soviet Union.

"It's time for the Americans to have a headache again." Yanayev said with a smile, "Europe is like a plate of scattered sand, not what the Americans want to see, Britain, France and Germany are at odds with each other, and there are constant conflicts. Moreover, as the biggest thorn in Europe, the French have broken their ambition to establish a Mediterranean alliance, and they are unwilling to lose, and they clearly want to use this Libyan civil war to open a knife to other countries, and once the Mediterranean alliance is established, it will ......"

"Does that mean that the United States has one more France that is both friend and foe?" Yazov asked.

"As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, we do not have much of a conflict of interest with France in the Mediterranean, so to speak, to some extent, we are allies." Yanayev rubbed his eyes and sighed, after so many years of encirclement and breakthroughs, all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, now the Soviet Union has finally broken a gap in the European region, and the EU's lack of care will be an opportunity for the Soviet Union to come, and the opportunity for the Iron Curtain to return to Europe.

"Comrade Yazov, in any case, entertain the delegation from France, after all, they are important to us now. As long as we can provoke the hatred of Britain and Germany against France, it is worth making so many small moves in the Libyan region. ”

"I understand, and General Secretary Yanayev, do you need a table of vodka for them?" Yazov blinked, the Russian tradition of entertaining guests is Kremlin-brand vodka. Those who can drink are the good friends of the Soviet people.

"I don't think so, and the French delegation probably can't afford to bear such a toss." Yanayev rubbed his temples, for the top brass of the Soviet Ministry of Defense who dried this bottle of vodka at every turn, no delegation from any country would dare to eat at the same table with them in the future. It really brought the Uskinov principle into full play.

Yanayev crossed his hands, leaned on the tip of his pen, stared at the report on the strength of the French armament on the table, and said to Yazov, "What's more, we have to finalize a deal with the delegation of the French Ministry of Defense, they are preparing to develop a weapon that the Soviet Red Navy wants, I think the Soviet Ministry of Defense should have a good talk with them to see if the Soviet Union and France can jointly develop this kind of ship." ”

"Weapons?" Yazov paused for a moment, could it be that Yanayev still counted on the purchase of armaments from France?

"Yes, a kind of ship that our Red Navy needs." Yanayev said seriously. (To be continued.) )
