(1st Update)

After the verbal war at the negotiating table, under domestic pressure and with the Soviet Union in hand, the United States agreed to most of the Soviet Union's conditions in such a humiliating manner for the first time, paying all the rescue costs first, and then stopping the flow of weapons and military personnel support to the Chechen theater. The Chechen incident is just a donkey, and anyway, the armed forces have lost all their ability to resist, so there is no need for the West to continue to muddy the waters in this area, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In order to promote a positive image of the USSR in the international community, according to Yanayev's instructions, all officers and soldiers were treated in the best possible way at the naval base in Murmansk, without brutal imprisonment and round-the-clock torture by KGB agents, only endless beef, sturgeon, and unfinished vodka.

A Navy sailor put his arm around the neck of a Soviet soldier and said drunkly, "Thank God, if it weren't for the fact that my children were still in California, I would have liked to come here and enjoy life, well, and the bad thing is that it is colder, and I am starting to miss the California sunshine a little." ”

The Soviet soldier replied, "There is no class among the people, my comrade. The USSR welcomes you, if you will. The Russian people, for their loyal friends, will welcome them with vodka. ”

"Hahahaha, you speak English so well, soldier. When I go back, I must tell everyone that the Soviet Union is a friendly country, not an evil empire as the United States promotes. Long live friendship, cheers. The sailor drunkenly raised his glass and said to the other unconscious sailors who were also drinking.

And the Soviet officers in charge of accompanying them just stood by and watched with a sneer inwardly, and these sailors were nothing more than pawns to be used to promote a positive image of the Soviet Union. Class friendship? No kidding, comrade. Unless one day the North American continent is full of red flags. Let's talk about class friendship again.

The sailors were happily celebrating. Only Captain Jones and Remuse of the Barton Rouge were in the same room drinking and talking, or rather jottony, each other.

"I admit that you are technically superior to me, Captain Remuse." Jones raised a glass of wine, and the glass in Remius's hand bumped lightly, and there was a great taste of sympathy between the two, "But we are always enemies and adversaries, and the fact that the Barton Rouge is in your hands will not be concealed for long unless you keep me in custody." Or make our crew disappear completely. ”

"We have never seized your submarines, they have sunk in wrecked waters." Remus took a sip of red wine and replied indifferently, "Of course we won't do anything to you, Captain Jones." You are guests of the Soviet Union, not enemies, and those nerve-wracking things should be left to the politicians, and you can be a pawn with peace of mind, isn't it? ”

Jones was slightly stunned, and his indignant expression flashed. Soon it calmed down again. He smiled and said, "Captain Remuse is really calculating. ”

"Each other. Each other. Remus said with the same smile.

A few days later, American officers and soldiers left the country that had been their dream for days and boarded a plane back to the United States. They reluctantly looked at the snowy country for the last time, and then returned to the world of liberalism.

Almost as soon as they stepped off the plane, they were greeted by the countless spotlights of reporters outside the airport, and U.S. government personnel waited for them, smiling to welcome the heroes home.

Bush will not let the Democrats continue to attack the Republican Party in the newspapers. The Bush administration later changed its tactics, and since it was no longer able to suppress the matter, it would have better cast this group of people as heroes of the United States against evil tyranny, and turn its attention to the problems of the Soviet Union itself. Anyway, it's not like the United States hasn't done this kind of thing.

All of a sudden, questions such as "The Soviets abused our soldiers in the most brutal way!" "Those People May Be Thrown into the New Gulag", "Hold On, Kid." The country and the mother did not give up on you! and other tragic and inflammatory reports covered up the Bush administration's inaction to cover up the incident at the beginning. Sure enough, the public's attention was drawn to these headlines, and they slowly forgot about the expiration of the previous government.

For the U.S. government, they don't need to restrict public opinion, and guiding and controlling public opinion is an excellent means for them. As the classic saying goes, "American politics is a bunch of elites leading the pigs of the whole country".

It's just that everything took a turn for the worse because of a small accident.

When a reporter who supported a Republican newspaper asked a soldier if he had been subjected to inhumane mistreatment in the Soviet Union, the sailor, who had not noticed his captain's eyes, pulled his throat and said, "Abuse? Thank God it was the best time of my life. Delicious vodka, delicious beef and fresh sturgeon. I really suggest you should go to the Soviet Union, the other side of the Pacific is not an evil empire. ”

"Are you saying you're being treated well, not a tortured hero as our government prophesses?" The reporter was slightly stunned, realizing that this was a good opportunity to dig up news, and hurriedly continued to ask.

What could be more valuable news than discovering that the government has deceived the public?

"Yes, a world where all people are truly equal." The soldier became excited as he spoke, and he continued to break the news to reporters, "What there is no human rights is all the words of the West." We were treated very well there. They didn't abuse us, we had a good time in Murmansk. And no wonder why the workers before us envied the USSR, because there would be no talk of unemployment there! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around him, and the faces of the US government officials became extremely ugly, and the companions around him hurriedly stopped in front of the open-mouthed naval soldier, pulled him back into the ranks, and warned him not to talk nonsense. The soldier waved his hand innocently, "What I said is the truth." ”

The Navy's move sparked the curiosity of reporters even more, and they rushed forward to point the microphone at the soldier, wanting to continue asking what was going on, but they were blocked by government officials.

"They need a little time to face the public, please calm down." In response to the reporter's dissatisfaction, a U.S. government official came forward to explain, but his explanation was more like a pretext to add fuel to the fire. Journalists have said that the government is lying and deceiving them, and the American people need to know the truth!

A few days later, pro-Democratic newspapers received photos of sailors celebrating with Soviet soldiers smiling happily at the camera, and two soldiers from the camp who had been hostile for decades shaking hands for the first time were no less surprised than seeing German and French soldiers celebrating the New Year together during World War I.

The Bush administration's lies were also self-defeating because of this small accident.

Then came the overwhelming accusations from the media, with pro-democracy newspapers accusing the Bush administration of covering up the truth in an attempt to create a crisis of confidence, while those originally neutral newspapers began to accuse the Bush administration of not spending its own soldiers and reaching its own ulterior political secrets.

"They are ordinary soldiers, they are the sons of someone, they are the fathers of some children, not the commodities that you politicians consume from the masses! We strongly protest against the government's concealment of the truth! The New York Daily launched a stern protest against the Bush administration.

At this time, the support of Bush and the Republican Party really hit the bottom, and those photos sent from Moscow became the last straw that crushed the Republican Party.

With the presidential election as a tombstone, Moscow digging a hole and the Democratic Party filling it, this well-planned internal and external cooperation has made Bush's last attempt to restore the government's image in vain, and while everyone in society is celebrating the return of soldiers, only Bush is sad in his office. It is now clear that the presidential election in four months will be completely out of his line.

"Damn the USSR! Damn Yanayev! I'll make you pay! ”

On this day, there was a chilling roar of anger from the White House. (To be continued.) )
