Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 288
“Secretary Gorbachev, this time we can only join forces with the Eastern European Unified Market Organization! The differences between the United States and us are too great, but the Eastern European unified market is in line with our goals…” Sergey reported over the phone. Tao.
Sergei and Mikhail joined forces to sing double reeds in Yugoslavia, with the purpose of squeezing the United States, the United Nations, and the European Community out of this land. For this reason, Sergei Sha first took advantage of Albania’s eagerness to join the unified market, and exerted strong pressure on the Albanian side. Forcing the Albanian government to give up support for the Albanian armed groups in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo in the Yugoslav Republic of Serbia. Just after the Albanians in Kosovo were weaned, Milosevic withstood the pressure to move the elite Yugoslav troops into the border areas of Kosovo. Albanians communicate sincerely. Facts have proved that without outside support, the Albanians in Kosovo really cannot hold on. Under the arrangement of officials sent by the Republic of Albania, they began negotiations with the Yugoslav government on the status of Albanians in Kosovo and Albanian armed groups in Kosovo.
Why is the Albanian government so obedient, almost accepting all the demands of Mikhail and Seryosha? Of course, there are considerations by the Albanian government. Mikhail made a special visit to the leaders of the Albanian government and revealed several key information to them. First, the unified market welcomes Albania’s participation, but if Yugoslavia cannot join the unified market, the free movement of people and the zero-tariff passage of goods will not be discussed. A war-torn Yugoslavia is not in the interests of Albania. Once the war in Yugoslavia is raging, Albania will only be able to bypass the Black Sea by sea if it wants to trade with other member states in the unified market. Second, Mikhail told Albania that once Yugoslavia and Albania joined the Unified Market Organization, the other member states of the organization and the Eastern European Central Bank would build a railway linking Gdansk, Poland and Dulas Port in Albania.
Albania now finally sees reality clearly. If Yugoslavia cannot join the unified market, the value of Albania’s participation in the unified market will be greatly reduced. Especially the railway, which is a transportation artery that runs through Europe from north to south and connects the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. If there is this railway, which port on the Mediterranean coast can be compared with the port of Dulas in Albania. Almost 100% of all goods destined for Eastern Europe or the western part of the Soviet Union will be unloaded at the Port of Durasi. How many related service industries will that drive and how many jobs will be provided!
Although the Albanians of Kosovo Province and the Albanians of the Republic of Albania have the same language, the Republic of Albania is hard to protect itself. The new pan-democrats are eager to prove that their governing ability is higher than that of Albania in the past. But if the economy still hasn’t improved, how can the pan-democrats control the political power and continue to promote their own political ideas? Therefore, in the face of tangible interests, the Albanian government can only betray its compatriots in the Kosovo region in exchange for its own interests.
Just after Mikhail left Albania, Albania’s security in Kosovo became more urgent than the Yugoslav government. The Albanian government has not only changed its past caliber, but admitted that the Kosovo issue is an internal affair of the Slavic people. They even contacted the local Albanian militants and took the initiative to persuade them to accept the conditions of the Yugoslav government and give up the idea of letting Kosovo become independent. The Albanian government even moved out of the giant Buddha of the Unified Market. Because one of the policies of the unified market is that people can move freely among the member states of the unified market, it means that once Yugoslavia joins the unified market, Kosovo Albanians can move to wherever they want. Isn’t it good to go to Albania in that case? People who don’t like Serbs can live in another place! Just move to a place full of Albanians!
When the Yugoslav government, the Albanian government, and the Kosovo rebels all had the same aspirations to join the unified market, all contradictions were resolved. The Yugoslav government quickly reached an agreement with the Kosovo rebels and the Albanian government. Albanian rebels can choose to lay down their weapons and surrender to the government or leave Kosovo to live in Albania. The Yugoslav government will exempt the Albanians in Kosovo from punishment, while the Albanian government has chosen to abandon its support for Kosovo’s independence.
After solving the problems in Kosovo, from Hungary through the Yugoslav Republic of Serbia ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to Kosovo, the land between Albania was finally connected. Even though Croatia and Slovenia are still at war, the railway connecting the Baltic and Mediterranean ports planned by the unified market finally has a foundation for construction.
After dealing with Kosovo’s affairs, Sergei bid farewell to Milosevic and planned to return to the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union did not support the Yugoslav government’s military operations in Croatia and Slovenia, it has now secured Kosovo. The Soviet Union has finally defeated the United States once again in diplomacy. The vast eastern European region from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. In the future, even if Slovenia and Croatia really join the United States and the European Community, they will not pose any threat to the current unified market.
Selesha had a deep talk with Milosevic before leaving. Regarding Slovenia and Croatia, Selesha’s opinion is not to spend too much energy in this area. Instead of letting the war consume Yugoslavia’s national power, it is better to shift energy to the economy. Not only will the Soviet Union not recognize Slovenia and Croatia now, it will never be in the future. As long as the Soviet Union does not recognize it, Croatia and Slovenia cannot be absorbed into the United Nations. After Yugoslavia has survived this difficult economic period, it is not too late to solve the problems in Slovenia and Croatia.
So under Selesha’s persuasion, Milosevic withdrew his troops in Croatia and Slovenia. At the same time, the Soviet Union and the Unified Market Organization announced at the same time that they would never recognize the unilateral declaration of independence by the Yugoslav member states such as Slovenia and Croatia. This also means that, at least in the two international organizations with wide-ranging influence, the Unified Market and the United Nations, the doors of independence for Slovenia and Croatia have been completely closed.
