Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 243

The Republic of Malta, a small pocket country located in the heart of the Mediterranean, remained neutral during the Cold War and did not depend on any country. A place like this is most suitable for negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union.

As an entourage, Sergei followed Gorbachev to Malta and attended the upcoming US-Soviet Summit Forum. He was accompanied by the Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze, and Gorbachev trusted him most. His assistant, Yakovlev.

The main topic of this summit meeting is to end the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union and turn conflicts into jade. In fact, there was nothing about Sergey here, but Gorbachev still brought Sergey over. He hoped that Sergey could find an opportunity to contact the U.S. secretly and see if he could get some funds from the U.S. . Because before March next year, the Soviet Union will have a large debt that is about to mature, and this debt can almost kill the Soviet Union. Gorbachev’s only hope now is to receive new debts and repay old debts. However, if the funds are not in place and there is a debt default problem, then the Soviet Union will have no way to obtain funds from the international community. It is impossible for a country without credit to borrow money.

Gorbachev was full of expectations for Selesha, but Selesha didn’t have a clue. The debt of a country is not a small amount. In addition, the income of the Soviet treasury has been declining over the years, and it is a foolish dream to rely on the Soviet Union’s own hematopoietic capacity to repay debts.

Sergei Shah now has a lot of funds in his hands, but these funds will be used to continuously create new jobs for the Soviet Union. If it is used to repay debts, it will not be possible to settle the withdrawal of the millions of troops in Eastern Europe. Therefore, Sergei Shah could only find other solutions for the Soviet Union’s national debt problem.

Is oil and other resources used to repay Soviet debt? Although this seems feasible, few countries can accept this plan. At present, it seems that West Germany may accept this condition, because if the two Germanys want to be reunified, the attitude of the Soviet Union is very important, and to obtain the Soviet Union’s consent, it must be exchanged for conditions that the Soviet Union is interested in. Debt relief is absolutely necessary, and maybe Sergei can get another stroke from the Germans.

But these things had to be discussed by West Germany on the initiative of the Soviet Union, otherwise they would not be able to sit down and raise the price. On the contrary, at this summit, although the Soviet Union sought the United States, Sergei felt that the United States was actually more eager to reach a settlement agreement. After all, the Malta Conference is the best opportunity in decades. The United States must really hope that the Soviet Union can completely eliminate the dangerous medium-range missiles and steel torrents deployed on the western border.

Before the formal meeting, Sergei found an opportunity to communicate with Shevardnadze. The theme of this meeting should be the Soviet troops deployed in Eastern Europe and the issue of medium-range missiles on the western border. Sergeysha did not want Gorbachev to make concessions on this issue at once. Even withdrawing troops and destroying deployed missiles would require a process. At the very least, if the Americans can’t let the Americans go to nothing, the Soviets have to do so. Sergei hoped that the withdrawal issue in Eastern Europe could be resolved in batches, and the corresponding countries would bear most of the costs for the withdrawal of the Soviet Union.

For Sergei’s suggestion. Shevardnadze still agrees very much. Shevardnadze is well aware of the weight of the burden on Sergeisha’s shoulders, so after communicating with Seryosha, Shevardnadze immediately told Gorbachev It is suggested that Seriosha should be placed in the position of the main person in charge of negotiations with the United States.

The first meeting did not discuss any substantive content. Both parties were merely expressing their own positions. These contents had been confirmed with each other several times before the meeting, but journalists all over the world were concerned about it. Meeting between Gorbachev and Bush. From the current point of view, although the two sides have serious differences on some major issues, they still agree on the basic point of ending the confrontation. So the key to the summit is the next meeting.

Gorbachev and Bush brought their staff behind closed doors to discuss the Soviet Union’s reduction of nuclear weapons and medium-range missiles. This time it was a contest between real goods at a real price, real swords and real guns. Sergey sat in the corner, listening to Gorbachev’s concessions little by little. Gorbachev’s concession is really too great. The Americans have never mentioned what specific support they will give to the Soviet Union’s withdrawal. Sergei sees it very clearly. The United States’ promise is vague, while the Soviet Union’s The promise is real. Sergei couldn’t stand it anymore. He suddenly interrupted the dialogue between Gorbachev and Bush.

“Mr. President, I took the liberty to interrupt your conversation. I want to ask you a question. Do you know what year our country was first established?”

Sergei’s sudden utterance made everyone present to look at him~www.mtlnovel.com~ but Xieliao’s face remained unchanged and his heart beat. Gorbachev didn’t know what medicine was sold in Sergei Sha gourd, but Bush still answered this question politely.

“It was 1922, this young gentleman!”

“To be exact, it was December 30, 1922. It was two days before 1923. One year later, in January 1924, we lost the great leader Comrade Lenin. Do you know how the Soviet Union was at that time? Is it kind of?”

“I would like to hear more!” President Bush replied graciously. The secretary of state next to him had already handed him a small note, telling him that it was the Soviet Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the celebrity next to Gorbachev. Ulyanov.

“At that time, the Russian Empire had fallen apart and split into six countries: the Soviet Union, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. We just put down the White Army in our country, but lost a large area of ​​territory in the war with Poland, Piscus The 700,000 Polish troops led by Ji defeated the 2.3 million Soviet Red Army. In addition, the newly independent Finland and Romania are constantly eroding our territories on the border. I think we encountered difficulties when we found our country. , It’s much harder than the American Revolutionary War…”

“Well, Minister Ulyanov, we are here to discuss the Cold War problem. I think your topic is not helpful to our negotiations today. If I have time in private, I will be happy to ask you about historical issues. Yes.” President Bush said impatiently.

“Mr. President, compared to the difficulties faced by Comrade Stalin, what is the setback that we in the Soviet Union encountered today…” Hearing Sergei mentioned Stalin, the venue became quiet again.
