Chapter 1752 – Nobody Likes Him

This brief clash, let’s consider it as such, taught Vytautas Landsbergis one thing, that Lithuania arm-wrestling with Moscow was still not enough, and that when it came down to it, there was not much the Anglo-American side could offer other than being able to help with a couple of curses, and pressing his head to admit his faults.

This makes Vytautas reluctant to feel that NATO is not giving enough support, knowing what a great opportunity this is to completely bury the biggest enemy for decades;

Not to say that the leaders of these small countries are a bit confused, and now NATO is afraid of burying the Soviet Union’s vigor to make too much, accidentally then bury themselves along with it. Lithuania’s cannon fodder belongs to the realm of the expendable, so how could it possibly take the heat for Lithuania?

Vytautas’s disobedience even caused the Five Eyes Coalition to discuss whether to replace a more reliable person, and the British were even more nonchalant, pointing at Vytautas’s nose and questioning, “Are you teaching the British Empire to work?”

The questioning still had an effect, and Vytautas decided to perform a negative act and map his head to the powers that be in Moscow and concede the point.

There was some discussion about who to concede to, and it was still the Map Head’s abilities that were a little more reassuring, and Vytautas could then form a political alliance with the Chetniks to continue to dismantle the Soviet Union internally together.

Surprisingly, Maphead agreed, and with the emergence of this confrontation, which was already enough to qualify as an armed conflict level, he was willing to talk to regional leaders? This greatly displeased the conservatives, and Yanayev persuaded them bitterly that the National Salvation Front in Lithuania could not be disarmed, or the anger of the locals could not be calmed.

And to be honest, even if it is disarmed, no one will necessarily listen to it, as in the case of Lithuania, there is more than one situation, and the 14th Army Group of the Red Army of the USSR is still in the territory of the German Left, and the situation is almost the same as in Lithuania.

Furthermore, the current public opinion of Russians in the Union Republics is good for the conservatives’ desire to stabilize the situation, even if it’s just to maintain the status quo, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Yanayev is not a genius, but he also knows some shallow reasoning, and in the end, the map head just ordered the Baltic Military District to isolate Lithuania from the Russian community, and for the time being, not to give orders to disarm the National Salvation Front so as to radicalize the situation.

Yet the middle ground that Maphead is acting as has become equally tiresome to conservatives, who would like to be Maphead’s base, but Maphead clearly doesn’t think he needs a base.

Many even believe that the top leader came close to turning a situation that was at least a draw into a sure loss.

“The gain is not nothing, at least it’s not rushing tantalizing some of the Khitans’ basic disks.” Alan Wilson was on the phone with the good Dahl again, “Isn’t it true that those who want the country divided and those who don’t want the country’s stability to be undermined have replaced the overall public opinion that was using the Russian loss narrative.”

“And then again, just expanding a little doesn’t bear negative consequences? So much for all those years of public education in the USSR, citizens on the British side are at least not so naive.”

Alan Wilson argues that the Soviet Union’s education, which actually carried a heavy dose of universalist thinking as well, was also problematic.

Not to mention the Soviet Union, but the countries of the Soviet system, including a certain large country, have a fairly large group of nationals who are giant babies in terms of utilitarianism, and don’t even have an awareness of that.

Who is willing to favor? Allen Wilson in fact is also not willing to benefit, can understand the Russians feel that they have suffered a loss of feelings, but your huge territory living not only the Russians, you since the first swallowed in the first time will have to bear the consequences of occupying the country’s territory is also quite vast, you are not even willing to benefit, who is still willing to follow you?

“Of course the guys who are adamant about raising the anti-flag still have to be roughed up with an iron rod, and a single favor won’t do it either. I am unable to understand the map head, this time is a good opportunity. Once again he has shown that he has no bearing.” Alan Wilson could conclude that Map Head’s bottom line was unfathomable, it wasn’t a matter of being hard or not, from the beginning of Map Head’s leadership of the USSR, he had never been hard.

Even if it comes once then, this can prove that you are not afraid, but unwilling, not afraid and unwilling can be a big difference. Didn’t the naysayers get much more polite and courteous after the Chetniks one shelled the White House?

“Retreating again and again, I don’t think his days are long, I heard that the treaty of the new alliance has been proposed, I feel that once he is out of Moscow, he is in danger, remember to contact me at any time once this situation arises, my good son, ensure your own safety.”

“Okay.” Arikseyev nodded and put down the satellite phone, then took a few deep breaths to relax and went into a long thought.

The glorious chief architect of the GDR’s privatization reforms, Arnold returned to London and didn’t go to see his father first, he was already an adult, and although his official business was important, appeasing Elisa White Hurley was even more important, and only by ensuring that he didn’t start a fire in his backyard could he be more involved in his work.

By the time Arnold arrived at Whitehall, he met with his father, the secretary-general of the Cabinet, and elaborated on the heart of Whitehall, which he had just returned to the country without stopping.

“Don’t say those words when you haven’t even weaned yourself.” Alan Wilson seemed to smile, staring at his son said, “you this set of words used in my body appropriate?”

Arnold pinched his fingers at the sound of it, Allen Wilson was unsure, but in reality Arnold was calculating his own age and then replied, “Father, I need to be treated as an equal, you are clearly still not weaned even at my age, how else would I have been born.”

“Well, mind the occasion.” Alan Wilson coughed softly and said, “It’s not a question of when to wean, as long as you can do it, no one will say anything if you don’t wean for the rest of your life, and no one will care if you even like German milk. The issue of milk will be discussed later, after the Whitehall colleagues widely recognized, intentionally arranged for you to return to Malaya, to be the commissioner of the Straits Colony, to coordinate the common development of several cities. You understand the significance of that, don’t you?”

The significance is nothing more than that, a large country is integrating into the world, together with the status of the Xiangjiang side, can establish a regional economic engine, when the time comes to share the 30% and 70% of the UK to take 70% of the significance of this.

Of course this is not the whole story, clearing out the fighting of the Mongabay Tigers, Malaya is definitely going to have to bear some of the costs, after all this is the closest British territory to Sri Lanka.

“I see, and will certainly do my best to do so.” Arnold pondered for a moment inquiring, “Father, I actually don’t quite understand what the purpose of doing this is, it seems unnecessary to me.”

“Britain is very busy this year and this is a request from the Sri Lankan government, don’t think too much of it.”

Alan Wilson replied flatly, it was important to be busy this year, bearing in mind that this year was 1991, and August 19th was happening this year, and whether it would happen or not, the UK was busy for the whole of this year anyway.

The premise of the August 19th incident is the new treaty of alliance, and this treaty in the case of Lithuania’s temporary softening, has appeared in the mouth of the map head, has appeared in the mouth means that it has been in the pipeline, this is the conservatives will not be tolerated, he remembers that this treaty stipulates that each member of the sovereignty of the country, who will not tolerate it.

The new treaty states that “the USSR shall be a federal, sovereign and democratic state formed by the union of equal republics, each of which shall be a sovereign state”.

It also states that “the principles of mutual relations among the member states of the Union shall be equality, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, peaceful settlement of disputes, cooperation and mutual assistance, and the honest fulfillment of obligations assumed in accordance with the Treaty of the Union and the inter-republic agreement.”

Perhaps these hardliners that Map Head has promoted are now secretly conspiring to deliver a fatal blow to Map Head, who has been so kind to them.

Maphead faced a rare reaction of silence as he peddled the New Alliance Treaty to the leaders of the power structure around him, but Maphead didn’t think much of it, he still didn’t think there was much of a problem, maybe some of his aides took issue with his handling of Lithuania, but he was still confident that everyone would figure it out.

After this day, the situation in the Kremlin became quite delicate, in Yanayev’s residence, this time came a new member, KGB Chairman Kryuchkov, in fact, Kryuchkov took the initiative to contact Yanayev, the situation of this department is clear to everyone, in the absence of a clear understanding of how Kryuchkov’s heart, before, Yanayev did not dare to confide in each other.

Kryuchkov’s initiative to come to the door made Yanayev very happy, so it seems that the chances of winning are much greater, “Comrade Kryuchkov, what do you think of the New Alliance Treaty?”

“A precursor to the collapse of the state.” Kryuchkov replied without evasion, “We’ve seen his tactics in political struggles over the years, but when it comes to governing the country, I’ve only seen one failure coupled with another, and there seems to be no end in sight. The people don’t welcome him either, and his hardline supporters don’t like him because of the events in Lithuania and earlier in Tbilisi and so on. Liberals are much more fond of this Russian president who gutted the Soviet Union. So what else to say? Nobody likes him.”

Nobody likes him! Yanayev took a deep breath and finally smiled bitterly, “Indeed, no one likes him, and looking at the possibility that our country may cease to exist, I’m wondering if I can do something about it.”

Kryuchkov stared at Yanayev for a long time and whispered, “It would definitely require the support of the army, just by virtue of our department it won’t work.”

“Comrade Yaryuchkov’s opinion is similar to ours.” Yanayev gave Kryuchkov a piece of his mind in support of the defense minister, who was also in favor of maintaining order in the country.

Kryuchkov raised an eyebrow, sensing that this would be less of a problem, “So, do it, Comrade Yanayev.”

“We need as wide a range of supporters as possible.” Yanayev said it was better not to rush things, “Only if we find a good opportunity, don’t act rashly.”
