Chapter 1096 Teach them the rules (third update, two in one)
“Natasha Sergeeva was kidnapped!”
On Smolensk Square In the majestic Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, Dmitry Shepilov looked at the Nanyang Ambassador in front of him and said directly.
"After she entered your embassy, she was shamefully kidnapped. Mr. Ambassador, you kidnapped a Soviet citizen!"
Faced with this accusation of confusing right and wrong, I Zhao Jiezhong, the ambassador, was not angry but smiled and said:
"Mr. Minister, we all know very well what happened. A Nanyang citizen was brutally kidnapped by you when he was studying in your country. I want to know, what laws did Zheng Xingying break?"
"We are investigating this matter. For now, I have not received any information about this. I really don't know where your accusation comes from, but you kidnapped a Soviet citizen. Fact!"
While denying the kidnapping of the Nanyang people, Dmitry Shepilov looked at the other party and said:
"Otherwise, this will cause discord between our two countries. A diplomatic crisis that I want to see!”
“Now, the crisis has happened”
Standing up, Zhao Jiezhong said:
"Mr. Minister, you must understand that Nanyang will not allow anyone or any country to kidnap Nanyang people as a bargaining chip at any time. Please believe it, This is Nanyang’s bottom line.”
“Mr. Ambassador, Natasha Sergeeva’s mother wants to see her daughter.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jiezhong said:
“Of course!”
"In order to ensure her safety, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs need to accompany her throughout the journey."
More than half an hour later, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tonya drove to the Nanyang Embassy. There are already more than a dozen military vehicles parked outside the embassy, and armed soldiers are watching the embassy vigilantly. Now the Nanyang Embassy has been surrounded layer by layer.
When they were about to enter the embassy, the accompanying official said to Tonya.
"Think of your children, and you tell her that if she admits that she was kidnapped, she will not be held accountable."
"I know, I know."
Soon, Tonya saw her daughter, and as soon as she saw Natasha, she said loudly.
"Natasha, my daughter. You must have been kidnapped, right? They said that as long as you admit that you were kidnapped, you can go home safely and will not hold you responsible for anything. Do you understand? ”
Direct persuasion without any disguise sounds... not sincere at all, and that’s the fact.
For Tonya, who has experienced the Great Purge, she knows very well what her daughter will face when she comes out of here. After all, her husband, who was also the father of her children, had a similar experience. If Without the war, he would never have been able to leave Siberia, although he later died on the battlefield.
"Mom, I, I..."
Looking at her mother with a determined expression, Natasha said with tears.
"They did not kidnap me. I came to the embassy on my own for my lover. He was kidnapped by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
The diplomat on the side immediately cursed loudly. stand up.
"Damn it, Natasha Sergeeva, you traitor, you will be punished...".
Soon, they were pulled out. In the chaos, Tonya held her daughter and whispered in her ear.
"Natasha, my daughter, you must live, you must live..."
Then they were pulled apart, leaving only Natasha Sergeeva with tears on her face. , when she was crying for her mother, Xu Lin walked to her side and comforted her softly,
...
An unexpected incident brought too many troubles to Nanyang. In the shadow, newspapers, TV stations and radios immediately reported the news. There was an uproar in Nanyang and protests could be heard endlessly. When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiated with the Soviet Union about the kidnapping of citizens, Li Yi'an frowned. His expression became solemn.
“Why did they do this?”
Faced with the inquiry, Cheng Pengan shook his head and said.
“The incident happened very suddenly. We don’t know what happened at all, but based on the current situation, the bureau believes that this may be a fight back against us by Moscow’s hardliners.”
Berlin also agreed:
“We also think so. This may be a unilateral action by the hardliners. After the Hungarian incident, the hardliners in Moscow have always believed that Khrushchev was too much. Too weak, they demanded a tougher attitude towards us."
Listening to his analysis, Li Yian did not speak, but just took out a cigar from the cigar box, lit one, and smoked it. Take a sip and let the smoke slowly swirl in your mouth. When the smoke is exhaled, a light nutty aroma fills the study.
"There are never any pure accidents in this world."
Li Yian stood up and walked towards the window. Although he has now moved from the official residence in the city to the "Daming Palace", many habits cannot be changed. Compared to the official residence, the scenery outside the study window here is more beautiful, with the blue sea at the end of the horizon.
Although the sea view was beautiful, Li Yian's mood was a little heavy. He took a puff of his cigar silently, then closed his eyes with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
“Moscow would take such action. They must have their intention. What is this intention?”
Is it to divert attention?
Or for demonstration?
Li Yi'an didn't have the answer in his heart. This kind of operation was done not only during the Cold War, but also after the Cold War - American athletes carried drugs and the like, and then were imprisoned. The two countries negotiated secretly in exchange for the United States capturing Russian spies.
Exchange... What if we exchange him for a Russian spy?
“Are there any Soviet spies in our prisons?”
“Not yet,”
Cheng Pengan said.
"If necessary, the Security Bureau can take corresponding actions."
How about arresting a few Soviet spies?
Then exchange with the Soviets?
When this thought flashed through his mind, Li Yian thought of another world, the first spy exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union - in 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union were under the rule of the Allied Forces. The first exchange of spies took place at the border between Berlin and Potsdam, East Germany. The two men were Francis Gary Powers, an American U2 reconnaissance aircraft pilot captured by the Soviets, and William Henry Hovich Fischer, also known as Rudolf Fischer, a British-born Soviet spy captured by the Americans. Abel.
This was the first exchange between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. In other words, the Soviets are not used to this yet.
Under such circumstances, arresting a spy rashly will never bring him back. If he is imprisoned for a few years, it is not certain whether he can be brought back properly. In Li Yian's case, When thinking this way, Cheng Pengan seemed to have understood what your Excellency meant, and said:
"Your Excellency, the Security Bureau has always held clues about Russian spies. If necessary, we can take away one. branches, and then trade them with the Russians"
"No,"
Li Yian shook his head and said.
“They are worthless. For Russia, before there is this precedent, we don’t know whether this can work. Moreover, most of the time, they already have spies after they are sent out. The determination to sacrifice for the country. Moreover, the person we kidnapped was a civilian, not a spy. By arresting spies in exchange for civilians, we are undoubtedly telling Moscow that they can do this again next time!”
After taking a puff of his cigar, Li Yian frowned and spoke after a moment.
“If this happens, it will undoubtedly tell the whole world that as long as they are willing, they can force us to release their people by kidnapping Nanyang people, which will definitely become a disaster . ”
Why in another world, many countries adopt a policy of non-compromise when faced with threats to make decisions? The most fundamental reason is that everyone is afraid that after a compromise, the other party will become more vulnerable. In the end, the citizens of this country become meat votes in the eyes of those people, meat votes that can be exchanged.
Therefore, under this situation, almost all countries in the world have unanimously chosen never to negotiate or compromise.
“But, Your Excellency, we don’t have chips in our hands now, they have chips in their hands now.”
“Then just find a chip!”
< br>Berlin, holding a thin cigar in his mouth, said:
“Your Excellency, since they can kidnap our people, then we can also kidnap their people and exchange them with their people.”
"The Russians in Nanyang have no one except their diplomats. We can't bring their ambassador over, right?"
Cheng Pengan said straightforwardly.
“There are also some spies.”
“Why do we have to be in Nanyang? There are many other options outside of Nanyang. In some countries, they do not only have diplomacy. Officers, their engineers, and their technical staff."
Cheng Peng'an was shocked by Berlin's answer. Good guy... He was going too extreme. He directly reached out to foreign countries. .
Li Yian showed a strong interest and asked:
“What about?”
“For example, in Egypt, the Soviets have agreed to provide loans to Egypt to help them build the Aswan Dam. , and also sent technical personnel to Egypt. There are currently some Russian experts conducting preliminary surveys in Egypt. We don’t have chips in our hands, so let’s turn them into our chips.”
“There. But Egypt! It’s another country.”
“So what?”
Berlin replied.
“The chips we need now, and if we don’t have them around us, we have to look for them in other countries.”
Listening to Berlin’s answer, Li Yian thought for a while, and then said
br>
“We must use all means to make them understand that they can never turn our people into their bargaining chips. It will never be possible, and they must pay for what they have done.”
After taking a puff of cigarette, Li Yian sneered.
"But the price is not limited to a certain country. If Egypt is not enough, then... the whole world... we will make them pay the price all over the world. In a word, we will never allow people to eat meat without fighting back. Yes, they must pay the price."
After that, Li Yian looked directly at Berlin and said.
"Let's make a plan to get those Russian experts into our hands, um..."
After pondering for a moment, he added.
“We will never admit it if we act as a third party,”
Some things are well known and do not need to be true, just like some things done by Israel in another world. They have never admitted it, but the whole world knows that they did it.
But at that time, what Israel faced was just some organizations and a few small countries, but now what Nanyang has to face.
That is today’s superpower. In the face of such a superpower, will taking such actions lead to more vicious retaliation?
Li Yian was lost in thought. Compared to the Soviet Union, there were too many people in Nanyang overseas. If they become the target of retaliation from the other party. Then, those people will easily succeed.
In contrast, Russia does not have many people overseas. This is precisely the weakness of Nanyang.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yi'an said:
"Weakness... If we can't resolutely fight back, then the Nanyang people overseas may become our weakness. Their meat tickets must be let them know what is What is the bottom line that cannot be touched? Once it is touched... the party who touches it will have to pay the price. "
"Sir, what do you mean? > Bolin raised his eyebrows and said.
“Are we going to get rid of them?”
Li Yian did not answer him immediately.
There were also rules of the game in the Cold War, but these rules were established in the first ten years of the Cold War. So what happened before they were established?
Neither side knows the rules. For example, during the Cold War, one basic rule was that both sides would not kill each other's spies. Therefore, the most familiar scene in the Cold War was the exchange of spies. Another rule is that both sides do not harm each other's civilians. Even if they arrest the other side's civilians, they will be returned through some channels.
And why do they establish this rule and even do everything possible to protect him? Because it is based on one premise - reciprocal retaliation!
The Cold War is always fair. No one is right or wrong in this game, but one thing is for sure. If you are in the first grade of junior high school, others can be in the fifteenth grade.
If revenge and counter-retaliation continue to worsen, only God knows what the outcome will be.
"No need for the moment, get them up, reciprocal revenge, reciprocal behavior, this is our bottom line, if they don't understand the rules, then we will teach them to understand the rules!"
< br>As he said this, Li Yian picked up another report on the table and read it. That was the report that the United States was about to launch a spaceship... At first, everyone was running towards space.
Why are you wasting everyone’s time and energy here over such trivial matters?
I really don’t know the importance!
