Chapter 725: Don't make trouble, I'll tell you
The third more
During Comrade Primakov's visit to Poland, a new round of live-fire exercises and training began between the Ukrainian Autonomous Region and the Polish border, and after the withdrawal of the Eighth Guards Army from East Germany to Ukraine, although its strength was greatly weakened due to economic problems, it still retained considerable strength. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSince Comrade Primakov was negotiating in Warsaw, then the Soviet troops could not sit idle empty-handed, and simply let the 27th Guards Motor Infantry Division and the 65th Separate Tank Regiment put on a shocking show on the border line.
The attitude of the Soviet Union was so direct, and if you don't cooperate, you can do it yourself.
The plane is crossing the border between Ukraine and Berlin, and soon Primakov's special plane will land on Polish soil for a visit to Poland.
Comrade Primakov, who was flying on the Il-96 airliner, was a little nervous, after all, it was Comrade Dobrynin who was always in charge of the preparations for the diplomatic meeting of the Soviet leaders. At best, he wears the hat of an international policy adviser and allows himself to negotiate with the arrogant Poles, and whether he can succeed in reaching an agreement is a difficult question.
But Yanayev's resoluteness forced Primakov to accept the task, and on the Il-96 airliner, Primakov's palms began to sweat, and after taking a few deep breaths, his mood slowly calmed down.
In fact, Primakov did not know that after the news of his visit to Warsaw spread, Dobrynin had asked Yanayev why he had chosen Comrade Primakov.
However, Yanayev's answer made Dobrynin have an inscrutable meaning, "Negotiation and cooperation are originally about deception, and if I go to Poland, Kwasniewski, who is accustomed to my negotiation strategy and tactics, must have already thought of countermeasures, and if Comrade Primakov visits Warsaw to make a secret agreement, Kwasniewski will definitely not be able to guess where our next chess piece will go." ”
"It's a victory without routines."
Yanayev deliberately showed a smug smile, in fact, he had already arranged a series of behind-the-scenes work behind his back, Comrade Primakov was just making a situation, and any possible tricks used by Poland were within Primakov's calculations.
Since Yanayev has arranged everything behind the scenes, there is no need for Brenin to deliberately emphasize anything, just let it be.
Kvasinevsky received Primakov in the living room of the Prime Minister's Office, and after the meeting the parties had a "friendly" meeting.
"Ambassador Primakov, welcome to Poland." President Kwasniewski's "friendliness" seemed a little stingy, and he did not have much affection for the Soviet Union now, not to mention that the British and Americans had visited him separately before, and at the same time invariably mentioned plans to aid the German Democratic Republican Army.
"President Kwasniewski, I think the purpose of this trip to Warsaw has been made very clear by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." As soon as Primakov sat down, he cut to the chase. After all, he has also talked and laughed with the leaders of Western countries, and a small Polish president is still difficult for Primakov's on-the-spot performance, but he has no specific strategic measures now, and he does not know where Yanayev wants to go.
"I don't really know." Kwasniewski asked knowingly, "If there is anything I don't understand, I hope Ambassador Primakov will say it himself." ”
This time, Poland has decided to avoid the topic no matter what happens, that is, not to confront him head-on.
Primakov nodded very seriously and said, "That's right, with regard to the opening of a 'humanitarian' aid channel on the German border in conjunction with Poland this time to send aid to the area of the war in eastern Germany, we hope to get the support of the Polish authorities and allow us to open such a channel." ”
And in exchange, the Soviet Union would provide Warsaw with a low-interest loan to alleviate Poland's economic problems. Haven't you been trapped by a weak economy and have been hovering outside the threshold of the European Union? ”
Kvasinevsky did not speak, because Primakov's answer shocked him. What is this, Britain, the United States plus the USSR to do things collectively? Why are even the requirements and conditions exactly the same? Humanitarian supplies are allowed to pass through the Polish border? Agree to a low-interest loan to Poland?
Kwasnievsky is not a fool, he certainly knows what Primakov is talking about about humanitarian aid. Sam anti-aircraft missiles, AT-4 anti-tank missiles, mountains of Kalashnikov rifles and countless ammunition. You say these things are refugees? Demons will believe.
That's why Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union were so generous in providing Poland with a low-interest loan. They all wanted to kill the Federal Republic of Germany.
Kwasniewski was glad that he had learned the secret work behind the world's big three earlier, and if he had unknowingly penetrated into the EU framework again, then the Polish economy would have been bankrupt and would not have been able to climb out of the pit.
It's just too insidious.
Thinking of this, Kwasniewski coughed and put on a precarious look, "So how much is the Soviet Union willing to give to Poland?" ”
"$176 million." Primakov lowered the offer slightly, he wanted to find out where Kwasniewski's bottom line was, and then he could raise the price in a targeted manner, and no one would quote their reserve price at the beginning, especially in this case.
"The loan you quoted is too low." Kwasnievsky shook his head.
Primakov paused for a moment, Poland was the first country to see such an arrogant loan in recent years.
Without hesitation, he said the Americans' offer, "Do you know how much the World Bank is willing to lend?" 500 million US dollars, and enjoy the treatment of low-interest loans, the UK provided 200 million pounds, note that, is the investment of pounds. If the expected price in Ambassador Primakov's mind can't match this price, I think you might as well forget it. ”
After saying that, Kwasnievsky pointed to his own heart, and then to Primakov, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, does this mean that you have any other cards to play?
"Oh? Is it? The World Bank actually quoted you such a high price. "Primakov is calm on the surface, but inside he is actually already turbulent. He didn't know that the Americans had already been involved, and the current situation was to try to control it as much as possible within his control, and completely reverse it.
However, Kwasnievsky really shouldn't have leaked this crucial information to Primakov, so that Primakov would have a chance to fight back. A bold idea had already formed in his mind, and if Kwasniewski refused to cooperate, he could even blackmail the other party in turn.
"The Soviet Union quoted a maximum of 189 million dollars, and we won't pay a penny more."
Primakov's tone was very resolute, "I'm going to talk about it today, if you think it's worth it, we can cooperate, if you don't think it's worth it, there will be nothing to say between us." ”
"Then I think there is nothing more to say between us. On the German question, Poland has always taken a clear position. Kwasnievsky pointed to the door, he very much disliked Primakov's arrogant tone, in his opinion, these Russians were here to make trouble.
"Ambassador Primakov, let me tell you, don't try to make trouble in Warsaw."
Primakov didn't get up from the couch, he just made a pause gesture, still smiling, and said, "You wait, President Kwasnievsky, maybe after listening to what I'm going to say, you will change your mind." ”
"Really, do you think that the trip to Warsaw in the USSR did not prepare a small gift for you?"
As soon as the words fell, the presidential assistant came in through the door, forcibly interrupted the conversation between the two, approached Kwasniewski, whispered a few words, and Kwasniewski's face suddenly became ugly.
Primakov knew that it was Yanayev who had prepared the plan that had succeeded, and he also cooperated, saying, "Look, we're here to make trouble, so now you want me to tell you, what is the little gift prepared by the Soviet Union?" (To be continued.) )
