USSR 1991

After the two parties sat down, the negotiation began. This is a political negotiation related to the people of the whole country. The negotiation mainly revolves around the ownership of Chechnya's armed forces and the political interests of the Kadyrov family.Moreover, Chechnya is likely to become a precedent for the autonomy of the next autonomous member states.

Therefore, Yanayev must grasp the degree of openness of this precedent.

"About the status of the Kadyrov family in Chechnya, I would like to elaborate on the following aspects. The Kadyrov family is by far one of the largest Muslim families in the Ingushetia Republic, and even the Chechen Republic, and the little Kadyrov family Rove's father is also the spiritual leader of the entire Chechnya, so I think it is the most suitable thing for Kadyrov Jr. to inherit his father's political legacy. As long as the Kadyrov family is still there, there will be no civil strife in Chechnya."

"What's more, the Kadyrov family has also mastered a powerful armed force. In addition, he is a native of Chechnya. Originally, the Soviet army had to be familiar with the form of Chechnya, which also allowed him to deal with any armed personnel from Chechnya, or Rebels operating in the Caucasus."

Ahmadov explained the importance of the Kadyrov family to the stability of Chechnya from the highlights, and also told Yanayev that we are the only armed force in Chechnya that can face the enemy head-on. If we don’t want civil strife in Chechnya, we But it is the only choice.

And Yanayev just silently held his chin, neither agreeing nor denying, listening to him continue.

In order to fight for the legitimacy of Kadyrov’s regime, Ahmadov naturally described the Kadyrov family as an indispensable political family, “The Kadyrov family is also the sole leader of the Sufi faction in Chechnya, Since the arrogance of the Wahhabi faction has been severely suppressed, only our Sufis are now the mainstream Muslims in the Chechen world. Sufis are different from the Wahhabis who believe in fundamentalism. We advocate moderation without disputes, and Secularization."

Ahmadov, in an effort to ease Soviet vigilance towards the Muslim world, described Sufis as a moderate sect.But Yanayev still just changed his gesture and continued to listen to Ahmadov.

"And..." Facing Yanayev's moody face, Ahmadov suddenly felt that he didn't have the courage to continue. He felt that the guy sitting opposite was like a fox waiting The hunter who fell into the trap enjoyed every move of his prey before he died, "Moreover, we are the only armed force in Chechnya, so only we can stabilize the environment in Chechnya, or lead the struggle of the Chechen people."

The last sentence Ahmadov said was ambiguous, leading the struggle of the Chechen people?Is it fighting against the illegal armed forces involved, or is it fighting against the Soviet troops active in Chechnya?

Even the little Kadyrov, who was silent, was a little puzzled. Shouldn't this political negotiation be a wonderful debate? On the opposite side, General Secretary Yanayev still had a calm expression on his face?

He suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if he had fallen into a trap designed by others.He kicked Ahmadov's shoe to signal his uncle to shut up first.

Yanayev saw through most of Chechnya's hole cards with a silent aggressive method, and he also roughly knew what kind of bargaining chip the political group represented by Kadyrov Jr. wanted. He smiled, raised his head and said, "Do you know about the Big Ivan nuclear bomb?"

"Huh?" Ahmadov froze for a moment, he didn't know why Yanayev suddenly mentioned this.

Yanayev ignored Ahmadov's attitude and continued to say, "It also has other names, such as the Khrushchev bomb and the Tsar bomb. It is the most terrifying nuclear weapon ever developed by the Soviet Union. Even Xindi Island, which covers an area of ​​8.2 square kilometers, cannot meet its requirements, let alone Chechnya, which covers an area of ​​only 1.7 square kilometers? Our big Ivan is enough to destroy the entire Chechnya, so what qualifications does Chechnya have to come What are we asked to do?"

Yanayev's words were like a slap in the face, hitting Ahmadov's heart hard.

When it comes to simplicity and insanity, who is the opponent of the crazy red polar bear?

Chapter 185 Ending

"No, you won't." Faced with Yanayev's threat, Kadyrov Jr. stood up and said bravely, "If such a bomb really fell on Chechnya's land, then it would definitely It will cause all the republics of the Soviet Union to attack your political party, not to mention the republics, and even the whole world will regard the Soviet Union as an enemy."

"Nuclearization of Chechnya is fun for a while, but what should you do about the more complicated political situation?" Kadyrov's words were like a sharp thorn in Yanayev's nerve center. His temples twitched. He didn't expect that the immature boy in front of him was even more courageous than Ahmadov beside him.Is it the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, or the determination to fight to the death?

"Besides, since General Secretary Yanayev agreed to sit at the negotiating table with us to discuss issues, the means of war must be excluded first, unless the differences in this negotiation are too great, and there will be a second Chechen war as a last resort. However, I still want to remind General Secretary Yanayev that the vast majority of Chechnya are now Muslims, and Russians do not occupy a dominant position in Chechnya, so you still have to consider whether you want to continue the previous one. set of practices."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kadyrov. The Soviet Union has always been resolute when it comes to religious belief. We absolutely do not allow the so-called religious police in Chechnya, and we absolutely do not allow polygamy in Chechnya. People We have finally freed them from the shackles of the past, and we will never let them return to the shackles of the past." Compared with Kadyrov, who was an old couple and young wife in history, Yanayev hated this practice deeply.In the Soviet Union, both men and women are equal in personality, and it is for this reason that Yanayev has adopted tough measures to suppress Islamic fundamentalism.

Whoever dares to advocate that Muslim women in the Caucasus countries in the Soviet Union wear black robes, Yanayev dares to drag them out and throw them into the Kazan Mental Hospital for treatment by KGB doctors!

"And Chechnya is discussing with us about maintaining a strong armed force?" Yanayev glanced at Ahmadov disdainfully, then turned his head and said to Kadyrov Jr., "I just want to know how strong your armed forces can be." Can’t prove that we can deal with the torrent of steel in the Soviet Union, we can flatten the plains of Central Europe and plant red flags all over the world. What qualifications do you Chechens have to come and talk to us about such conditions?”

The reason why Kadyrov was able to bargain with Putin back then was because the Russian army paid an extremely tragic price in the Chechen war. Coupled with the continuous terrorist attacks in the country, they no longer had the strength to fight another war of attrition.But Yanayev is different now. The Soviet Union has a huge arms inventory, which he can slowly consume in the Chechen War, and after the formalization of trade with Asian countries, the Soviet Union's economy has gradually improved.What's more, the Soviet army now occupies half of Chechnya. As long as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union stands up, they can turn their turrets to deal with the Sufi armed forces.

"Then what are your conditions?" Seeing that the opinions of the two parties were still very different, Ahmadov wanted to hear Yanayev's opinion.

"First, the Soviet army must have troops stationed in Chechnya. This is a condition that we will never compromise. If there is a member country in the Soviet Union that does not have troops, can it still be called a member country of the Soviet Union?" Yanayev said nothing Said bluntly, tapped his index finger on the table, and read out word by word, "And the number of garrisons must be decided by us, the Sufis have no right to choose."

"However, your armed forces can be preserved in the form of the Chechen police. The Soviet armed forces in Chechnya have no right to dispatch security incidents that can be resolved within your capabilities, but once the situation is out of control, the Soviet army has the right to intervene." It is the compromise condition proposed by Yanayev, which is almost a replica of one country, two systems.

"Similarly, we will send the First Secretary of the CPSU to Chechnya to re-establish Soviet institutions. No religious ideology can occupy the position of the national government. This is our second condition." Yanayev said very clearly, The laws of Chechnya must be the laws of the Soviet Union, not your bullshit religious laws.

"The third condition is to suppress the Wahhabi faction." This sentence is Yanayev's focus, "I hope the Sufi faction can unite with the Soviet government, or assimilate the Wahhabi faction, Either expel them from the Caucasus and create a unified sect of Islam."

Ahmadov took a deep breath. He did not expect Yanayev to let go of such a great gift. If the previous two conditions offended their interests and dignity, then in front of this great gift Well, these offenses can be regarded as scratching an itch without pain or itching, even if it is only a nominal unity, it is also a great honor.

"You mean, a unified Islamic faction? Even if it's just a nominal unity?" Even Kadyrov's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence. He may not understand the real intention of unification at a young age, but Think of being the spiritual leader of Chechnya like my father, or even the spiritual leader of the entire Caucasus, and a thing called ambition swells up in the heart.As long as there is the support of the Soviet Union, why worry about Chechnya not being able to become a strong republic?

"Yes, a unified faction. Anyone will follow the Sufi sect, as long as you agree with the leadership of the Moscow Central Committee." Yanayev smiled and nodded, but there was a hidden murderous intent in his eyes.

The young Kadyrov, and even Ahmadov have not yet seen through Yanayev's true intentions, immersed in the fantasy of the spiritual leader.The ethnic composition of the Caucasus region has been complicated since ancient times. If the Chechen Sufis really have such a unified ambition, it will inevitably cause a reaction from other sects, or even other religions. Chechnya is not only not beneficial, but may also arouse the vigilance and hatred of surrounding countries. Apart from begging the Soviet Union to take in the besieged country, what else can he do?

The checks and balances and infighting between the major alliance countries concentrated the final power in the hands of the central government.The CPSU can be said to have played the role of an offshore balancer in the Transcaucasus region.

And now at least Yanayev has found a rope that restrains the runaway horse of Chechnya, and firmly holds the future little master of Chechnya in his own hands.

"We are willing to accept the conditions proposed by Moscow, and at the same time, we are willing to sign a treaty." Kadyrov said with a happy smile, completely ignoring the Soviet conspiracy behind it.

Chapter 186 The American Redneck Who Changed the Timeline

The timeline that changed in 1992 ushered in the first major change, which was the election of the President of the United States.Although Bush is also actively seeking re-election, the failure of his diplomatic strategy in the past year has left him far behind other candidates in popular support, consuming all the prestige Bush has managed to accumulate in the Gulf War.Moreover, the continuous downturn in the domestic economy has also made the public increasingly dissatisfied with Bush.

The Vantaa incident, the Arctic crisis, and the Soviet propaganda campaign had a profound impact on President Bush. Some people even directly called him the largest communist lurking in the United States, a traitor to the free world!The sharp decline in President Bush's popularity has also given the Democratic Party an opportunity. They are actively seeking to run for election and are preparing to defeat Bush Jr. in the new presidential election.The Republican Party has been in power for 12 consecutive years, but this time the Democratic Party is ambitious to defeat them and become the ruling party in one fell swoop.

This year's battle between the donkey and the elephant seems to be full of gunpowder. Every candidate is accumulating strength and preparing to ascend to the honorary throne of the President of the United States.

Mario Guomo is undoubtedly the most popular among the Democratic presidential candidates. Compared with the other party candidate Clinton, the members of the Democratic Party are also optimistic about Mario than Clinton.

In this regard, the Soviet Union is also paying attention to the future direction of the United States. After the previous political incidents, it is impossible for Bush to be re-elected, and the continued status of the Republican Party in power is also at stake.This has led to a group of Democratic candidates eager to take the crown of this presidential election.

For this reason, Yanayev also specially summoned the director of the First Soviet Foreign Intelligence Bureau to analyze the advantages and disadvantages between Mario and Clinton to Chirkov, an American intelligence expert.Of course, Chirkov did not understand why Yanayev did not consult the relationship between Zongs and Mario, but directly asked Clinton, who had a relatively weak competitive advantage.

Chirkov was summoned to Yanayev's office. No one was present at this conversation except the two of them. It can be said to be a secret meeting between the general secretary and Chirkov.

"Generally speaking, Mario's advantage is far greater than Clinton's. His reputation and connections within the Democratic Party far surpass Clinton's. It can be said that as long as Mario is elected as the presidential candidate, he will win the same stage as Bush. The odds will increase a lot.”

Facing Yanayev alone, even Chirkov, who has always been calm and stable, trembled slightly. He tried his best to calm himself down and continued, "On the one hand, the campaign slogans of Mario and Bush are somewhat similar. Almost all of them are making fuss about foreign relations, trying to divert the domestic economic downturn by means of war. Only Clinton proposed a campaign strategy focusing on domestic issues. And this is also Clinton’s advantage.”

"Then it will be dangerous." Yanayev was a little helpless. He had already changed the timeline of this world beyond recognition, but Mario actually proposed a campaign strategy for foreign policies. Did he just ignore it? Is the domestic economy bad?

"The general secretary also thinks there is something wrong with the campaign slogans of Mario and Bush?" Chirkov highlighted one word.

Yanayev nodded, and he drew a circle on Mario's photo, "Now that the economy in the United States is in a downturn, people's attention will naturally be on the economy. Whoever can give them bread, they will listen. Whoever says it, votes for it. Bush is too close to the political support groups behind him, so it is not surprising that he would say such a slogan, so what is Mario going to do? He has no similar defense companies and arms around him With the support of such a funder as the company, what ability does it have to run for President Bush?"

"The best outcome is nothing more than Clinton being eliminated in the first round, leaving Bush and Mario to compete on the same stage, and the worst outcome is nothing more than neither of them being Clinton's opponents. Both fell to the ground."

"So no matter how you look at it, the loser of this election may be Mario." Chirkov's analysis is straightforward, and it is not far behind Yanayev's guess. From a historical perspective, the most likely presidential candidate There are two people, Bush and Clinton.However, Clinton's voice in the later period was obviously much higher than that of Bush.

"I want to hear your intelligence department's opinion on Mario." Yanayev felt that no matter what method was used, the chance of Mario's coming to power would pose a much lighter threat to the so-called external environment to the Soviet Union than Clinton.The economy during Clinton's administration can be said to have taken off for eight years, laying the foundation for the subsequent sweep of the US's claws to the world.

And the president who likes to continue militarism, although it seems to be cool for a while, will deal a heavy blow to the US economy in the long run. This is what the Soviet Union, which is focused on economic construction, wants to see.

"Mario Guomo is currently the governor of New York State. His foreign policy likes to promote the theory of the threat of the Soviet Union and the theory of suppression by European allies. His personality is relatively hot, and his foreign policy views and methods are also relatively radical. All in all, it is more like maintaining a big American A national dictator for global interests. Judging from his campaign slogans, Mario may be more extreme than Bush's methods."

"It is precisely for this reason that he has always had a gap with Bush and Clinton in the number of votes in the candidacy. Radical slogans have no slight impact in a down market. We guess this is why he is so popular in the party, but the actual The number of votes is behind." Chirkov analyzed Mario's shortcomings and gaps for Yanayev.

This guy Mario sounds like a replica of Trump. He doesn’t look like a politician who can ease the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, but Yanayev likes such people. Since you If there is no way to bring the U.S. economy out of the downturn, then I will be a pusher and push the U.S. economy into the abyss.No matter how strong the economic strength of the United States is, it cannot control the continuous wars for many years.The Vietnam War that year almost sent the United States into the abyss of economic collapse. If it hadn't been for the Reagan administration to turn the tide, the United States might have lost its strength after the war.

Now the Soviet Union has countless options in the Middle East, just waiting for the United States to jump in.

"That's him. The Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service tried to put him on the right track for the presidential campaign. We need this cute, militaristic red neck to rule the United States. Can the Foreign Intelligence Service find a way to change his competition strategy? Like changing it to a Slogans and strategies that are more in line with the national image?" Yanayev asked, since Americans like to hear about revitalizing the domestic economy, let Mario say some slogans they like.

"Your Excellency, in fact, we do have departments that influence the final election of the president in the United States. They are investment groups established in the United States. After looking for any potential target, they will spend a lot of money to support them." Dyer Cove has studied American politics and presidential elections for more than ten years, so he is extremely clear about Americans.The so-called investment group was also set up in the hands of Delkov, but he has never had the opportunity to implement his means, and this time, Yanayev and his ideas finally coincided with each other.
