Chapter 808: The Red Sultan's Whip

"Yesterday, the Barcelona process reached a new breakthrough in Paris, when the leaders of Algeria, Morocco, Turkish, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Syria, Turkey and the Palestinian National Authority met and reached consensus on economic development......

Although it did not achieve Chirac's original purpose, it was also a new beginning and process, which was originally intended to be political, economic, cultural and defense, but others seemed to be willing to focus only on the economic aspect, and the Mediterranean Bank project was the link they were most interested in.

The greed of France did not surprise Yanayev, and they promised the support of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to embark on the first project, the Mediterranean Bank program.

To President Mario's surprise was the accession of the Soviet Union, as if France realized that it would be difficult to challenge US imperialism as a financial hegemon alone, so it co-opted a Soviet Union to maintain the balance of power.

Yanayev waited to see what happened. The upcoming summit of the Alliance for the Mediterranean was key, and the leaders of various countries were waiting to see the final outcome, but the participation of the Soviet Union and the United States caused considerable opposition. There is always a sense of uneasiness that "Lord Lafayette wants to build a railroad for us".

Anti-American forces are naturally wary of the United States' accession, but the Soviet regime that followed it was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Algerian President Liamina Zerroual even complained in private: "French President Jacques Chirac did not hesitate to draw in the two imperialist giants in order to raise funds to open a bank, and I think the Union for the Mediterranean will not only be a regional cooperation organization, but also more likely to become a place of great power competition." ”

Complaining is complaining, but in the economic downturn, everyone wants to be bailed out by the Bank of the Mediterranean, and it is for this reason that a group of politicians with different agendas gathered at this meeting to discuss their futures.

At the negotiating table, Moroccan Prime Minister Youssoufi was the first to take the lead, saying that even if he could tolerate the contradictions between Israel and Islam, especially Palestine, another ally, would not tolerate the intervention of the Soviet Union and the United States. One invaded Iraq, the other vigorously suppressed the Muslims in the country, and even planned an astonishing operation in Lebanon, killing more than 100 people of Allah Front with poison gas bombs on other people's land.

Yanayev also had a nickname, the Red Sultan's Whip.

This made the Sultan Hassan II of Morocco feel very unpleasant, and even had a feeling of humiliation.

Syrian President Hafez was on the side of the Soviet Union as always, and in previous operations in Lebanon, the Syrian army helped the Soviet signal flag to complete the rescue plan. In return, at the following Lebanese talks, the Soviet Union put pressure on the Arab world and the UN sectors that supported Lebanon's independence in order to maintain the continued presence of the Assad family.

From the very beginning, the meeting was full of gunpowder, and the first to attack was Moroccan Prime Minister Youssoufi, "We believe that as an Eastern European country, the Soviet Union is not qualified to participate in the negotiations of the Mediterranean Union, this is our internal matter, or whether the Soviet Union thinks that it has a territory, on the Mediterranean coast." ”

"Of course not." Primakov replied honestly.

"That's it, in that case, what qualifications do you have to get involved?"

Yusufi ridiculed him, "President Chirac, I strongly demand that the Soviet Union withdraw from this negotiation, and if the other side is unwilling to withdraw, I think the negotiations can not continue." ”

As soon as Morocco arrived, it was a disgrace to the Soviet Union, which made the atmosphere at the negotiating table a little awkward. Only Madeleine kept a gloating smile, and there was no need to think that there was also the credit of the American instigation behind this.

Hafez couldn't stand it, and he asked, "Is Morocco here to negotiate or to stir up the situation?" We are sitting here today to seek common ground while reserving differences, not to point fingers at each other. ”

Yusufi glanced at Hafez and said mockingly, "In the recent Lebanese massacre, the Syrian army has contributed a lot to the murderer, and this is the first time I have seen a disciple who speaks for outsiders. Has the Assad family become a communist? ”

"That's enough." President Chirac suddenly attacked, and everyone fell silent.

"We are sitting here for the sake of the stability of the situation in the Mediterranean region and the future economic development of the coastal countries, not to quarrel."

Yusufi is still arrogant, "Either the Soviet Union withdraws, or Morocco withdraws, our request is as simple as that." ”

After watching their wonderful performances, the silent Primakov finally spoke.

"If I remember correctly, the Kingdom of Morocco is a coastal Arab country in northwestern Africa, bordered by the vast Atlantic Ocean to the west, Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar to the north, and the gateway to the Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean Sea, with a coastline of more than 1,700 kilometers. Since ancient times, it has an important historical position, so it is also a battleground for soldiers, and whoever controls your territory is equivalent to mastering the entire Mediterranean, isn't it? ”

Primakov's rhetorical question caught the Moroccan prime minister by surprise. "And then?" he asked rhetorically. ”

Primakov did not talk to him, but continued on his own, "The Soviet Union had a Black Sea Fleet and a joint trusteeship of the Turkish Straits that meant that we had a ticket to and from the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. ”

Something became wrong with the atmosphere, and they were vaguely aware of what Primakov was going to say next.

"The Black Sea Fleet also has cruisers of the Glorious-class and Kirov-class, large anti-submarine ships of the improved model of the Golden Eagle. It seems that none of the navies of the North African countries could alone stop the cruise of the Soviet fleet in the Mediterranean. ”

"Our fleet has confronted the most feared enemies in the Arabian Sea, captured enemy submarines in the Arctic Ocean in 1993, rammed invading destroyers in the Pacific Ocean."

threatened, Yusufi regretted it, he could even feel a cordial greeting from the Glory and Kirov classes.

Yusufi tried to ask the American representative for help, but the other party had a non-caring attitude.

Finished!

It's a trap.

Himself was taken advantage of by the Americans.

He wanted to open his mouth to argue with the other party, but was directly interrupted by the other party.

"We firmly believe that no one can stop the Red Navy, we have a large Red Fleet. So where is Morocco's political capital? ”

The last sentence is a pun.

"Morocco wants to block the advance of the Black Sea Fleet, albeit try!" (To be continued.) )
