Secretary General Annan's heart was half cold, and Yanayev's sudden change of attitude left him at a loss. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOne second he was still a good friend with a drizzle, and the next second he became a politician who turned his face and didn't recognize people.

"Apologize? Why should I accept an apology from the UN Secretary-General? Just because the author of this ridiculous statement is his wife, I want to accept your apology? In this way, it does not raise the criticism of public figures to the level of politics, but it is not a big blow to your reputation. Just imagine, the wife of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who can't even control her wife's mouth, will everyone have doubts about letting her husband take this important position? ”

"This ......"

Annan was refuted with nothing to say, and Yanayev blamed the other party word by word, telling him not to meddle in this issue casually.

"If it really gets out of hand, do you intend to apologize to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR in your capacity as UN Secretary-General, Comrade Shevardnadze, or are you going to submit your resignation? Or do you want your wife to apologize herself? ”

He looked out the window at the scenery with a cold look in his eyes, and the half-relegated Comrade General Secretary had been staying in the Moscow outskirts for a long time, and now he finally had a moment of peace compared to the sleepless nights before.

Of course, his mind still did not pause, dealing with certain international issues, Vladimir was never as rich as his own experience, he knew what to be tough on and when to compromise. How can we achieve maximum political benefits.

For example, Annan, who is trying to resolve the conflict privately, hopes to save face for the United Nations and his wife, so that the Soviet Union will have to endure the consequences of this provocation. He can accept the humiliation of himself, but he is resolutely uncompromising on the face of the whole country.

There was no room for rejection of Yanayev's question, "If you want your wife to apologize, then please let her show the sincerity she deserves." I may not accept private apologies from public figures. ”

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Yanayev continued to add, "Secretary-General Annan, I don't want this matter to end with the resignation of the UN Secretary-General, as I said before. ”

Yanayev did not give Annan any chance to explain and immediately hung up.

The busy sound was still echoing in his ears, and Annan held the microphone at a loss, but finally put down the microphone and sighed.

Indeed, Yanayev's hard-line attitude is destined to be unlucky for the United Nations, and he does not want to make this matter so big that the Soviet Union will take the opportunity to make trouble and cut off the financial support of the permanent members of the United Nations, and then the Western countries will only hide from the side and watch the jokes.

Are they sympathetic to Lagergren's appeal and speech for justice and truth? The bastards would just hide to the side and gloat at themselves. And the stupidest thing is that his wife was used as a gun, and he didn't know it.

On the other side, after Yanayev put down Annan's phone, he had just filled his goblet with vodka. Then he poured a whole cup into his mouth, pursed his lips, and took a deep breath.

In fact, Lagergren's reproach for the coup d'état in the Soviet Union seems light and light, and it is not worth mentioning at all, and the reason why he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble is that he wants to use this incident to silence certain Western media, at least to let them know that the Soviet Union does not allow others to say a word on certain issues.

Yanayev's attitude was enough to leave the rest of the media speechless, and this was indeed the toughest reply of the General Secretary of the Soviets, who dared to talk nonsense, just wait to apologize to Foreign Minister Shevardnadze.

――――――

"Want me to apologize to that butcher, executioner, tyrant? No, I don't apologize. ”

When she first heard the news, Lagergren almost ranted and yelled at her husband, who is the head of the UNHCR department, and would never apologize to an anti-human rights guy.

"Listen to me, be quiet."

Annan almost roared and roared, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but you have to understand that General Secretary Yanayev will not compromise on this issue at all, you are a public figure, don't you know which issues should be opened and which should be kept silent?" Human rights issues? That's just an excuse for a group of politicians to fool you left-wingers, who are the ultimate beneficiaries in the end? The number of refugees will not decrease, because our allies are behind them. I say that now, do you understand? ”

Lagergren's face was pale.

"Who do you think are the political forces behind the dictatorships in Africa, the warlords who control the oil and diamond mines? It's the top leaders in the United States, it's the financial giants, it's the top executives of the multinational corporations in Western Europe who are ostensibly concerned about human rights, but they are going their backs on innocent children, Ms. Lagergren, this is the truth you want to see. When you take the oil company's bailout check, remember that behind it is the blood of African refugees and some dirty secrets. ”

"That's the truth you want to see."

"Democracy? Dictatorship? Freely? These are nothing more than slogans used by politicians to deceive the population, you say that the USSR is an evil empire, a country made up of barbed wire, machine guns and tank fire. But you should also see clearly that the evil tyrant you call feeds the vast majority of the people on the land of this country, he gives those poor children the opportunity to receive free education and free medical care, he frees the people of this country from the situation of gray animals, and everyone has a job and a salary, as for the Western countries? Have you seen those who are begging at the bottom, those who are living on the streets? ”

"As for the corrupt and incompetent governments in Africa that use the banner of democracy, the money they have embezzled from the United Nations is far more exaggerated than you might think. Do you know what that money ends up becoming? They turned into bullets, shells and even drugs. Even if the UN food is distributed to the refugees, it will be quickly taken away by the army as military supplies, and this is their tragic fate. ”

Lagergren opened his mouth, but eventually just sighed and gave up the desire to continue rebuttal.

"You should apologize, Ms. Lagergren. This is not the exhortation of a husband, but the bitterness of a man of conscience. ”

Annan said slowly, "Yanayev, it was he who changed the world. ”
