The Western world was relieved when Soviet union did this. They did not intend to go to war , which shows that the top leaders can no longer solve the problem through war.
It also shows that the Soviet Union is weakened by Gorbachev's previous policies.
NATO hinted that to the presidents of the three Baltic countries, Soviet union is no longer capable of fighting wars.
They will increase their verbal support for the three Baltic countries, and said that if a war really starts, they will take the lead and take the lead in the charge.
The combination of conventional warfare and nuclear war NATO may not be the opponent of the Soviet Union, but in terms of throwing money, the straightforward polar bear may not be the opponent of the group of old and cunning Western European politicians.
Everyone knows that this is an unrealistic promise, and no one knows how likely it is to be exchanged.
But the Estonian president who rushed back from Finland still believed it.
Under the instigation of NATO, with a sense of superiority, he yelled arrogant remarks such as "I would rather be independent than war" and "Russians get out of Estonia".
Demonstrations have achieved the purpose of gaining more political benefits. For this reason, the supreme leader in Moscow with his hands behind his back just smiled sullenly.
The situation is developing in the direction he expected, and what he has to do now is to wait and see before the war brews and ferments.
______________
Andrei boarded the plane to Estonia, because the Soviet Union was in a period of delicate relations with the allied countries, so when the presidential plane Il-62 took off from Moscow, there were two Su-27 fighter jets for the " The Flying Palace" was escorted all the way to the Estonian airspace border before returning to Moscow.
Despite concerns about the political turmoil in the three Baltic countries, Andrei insisted on stepping into the territory that opposed him and the huge red empire behind him. Although the Soviet Union gradually began to return to the strategy of pressing at every step, the militaries of the three Baltic countries had not yet dared to put their fingers on the button to launch surface-to-air missiles.
The Il-62 presidential plane was parked on the tarmac of Lennart Meri Tallinn International Airport.
When Andrei got off the plane, he found that the Estonian side had not laid a red carpet in front of the special plane to welcome foreign guests.
Andrei just smiled disdainfully and didn't care about his behavior. On the contrary, Yor, who was traveling with him, had a panoramic view of all this.
There were a crowd of reporters there, all of them are western press.
When Andrei walked down the last step, the President of Estonia smiled and greeted him. He extended his hand and greeted Yanayev in a friendly way, "Welcome to Estonia, General Secretary Andrei."
"Hey, Tallinn is a good place." Andrei also held his hand without hitting the smiling man,
"My grandfather was a Red Army soldier in 1940, and he once entered the capital of Estonia in a tank This beautiful city. Unexpectedly, today I am honored to be able to set foot on this territory that I have fought for like my fathers."
The Estonian President's smile froze on his face, and his words clearly contained a hint of threat.
The entire scene was live telecasted throughout the world.
" It's gonna be trouble." The female BBC reporter murmured. She recently got famous covering the events in Moscow. With her good looks, Now she sent here as a promotion.
For a moment Estonian President didn't know how to reply. In the end, it was Andrei who resolved the embarrassing situation,
"Of course I came today with peace, for the independence of the three Baltic countries. Presumably Anatoly Valerianovich Gorbuno Hand Vytautas Landsbergis are waiting for my arrival in the meeting room, let's go there first."
Arnold Rütel, who had just woken up from a dream, accompanied Andrei to the city hall. Now he alone may not be his opponent, but all his allies are sharpening their knives in the conference room waiting for Andrei's coming.
On the way to the city hall, Andrei could see through the car window that the demonstrators were full of people outside.
They held up signs filled with slogans of different lengths, without exception, "Tyrants get out!"
Estonia",
"We do not welcome dictators",
"We want democracy, we want freedom".
Anyway, none of them are positive slogans.
If it weren't for the strict police guards along the road, this group of indignant guys might have stormed Andrei's convoy.
Arnold smiled awkwardly at Andrei, and explained,
"There is no way, Estonia is a democratic country, and we cannot refuse the legitimate demonstrations of the people.
Otherwise, how is it different from a dictator."
Regarding Arnold's ridicule in disguise, Andrei just smiled irrefutably, wondering who arranged these people, you old fox, you still don't have a clue, and when the leaders of your three Baltic countries cry at the conference table.
Soon the car stopped in front of the city hall, and the reporters who had been waiting at the door swarmed up.
The moment Yanayev opened the door, the spotlight dazzled him so much that he couldn't keep his eyes open.
This group of sharp-tongued reporters seized this opportunity to throw sharp questions at Andrei.
"Your Excellency, are you here to prevent the separation of the three Baltic countries? So is Gorbachev's new alliance treaty still valid?"
"If it fails, will the Soviet Union send troops to conquer the three Baltic countries by force? Will the Prague Spring incident happen in Estonia? Are you really a cold-blooded tyrant like they describe?"
"Does the Soviet Union still have human rights under martial law? Do the people have the freedom to speak..."
Andrei, who didn't want to talk to these reporters, stopped when he saw the beautiful female reporter , he stretched out his hands to make everyone quiet.
" Miss i just want to say your glasses are very good."
After that he officially met with the leaders of the other two countries in the conference room.
The Acting President of Latvia Anatoly showed an expression of concern for Andrei, only the chairman of the Lithuanian Supreme Council Vytautas sitting in the corner remained silent, waiting for the meeting to start.
Andrei first apologized to the other two leaders, "I'm sorry to be a little late, and was blocked by reporters at the door to delay a little time. Hey, you also know some foreigners who are full and have nothing to do.
I like see the despicable villains to criticize our country's internal affairs. "
Andrei's accusations made the corners of Vytautas' mouth twitch, but his expression soon returned to normal.
He said, "Then let's start the meeting now. The content of this meeting is still about the new agreement signed by our three countries and the
Soviet Union. Treaty of Union. Our three Baltic countries can accept a loose confederal state, but we cannot accept the Soviet Union's control over us, and the Supreme Soviet Constitution also states that we have the right to freely choose whether to withdraw from the Soviet Union.
This negotiation is based on these conditions premise."
"That's right." Someone was the first to speak, followed by Estonian President Arnold, "Our proposal is to let the new alliance treaty take effect immediately, and the alliance countries will break away from the control of the Soviet Union and develop freely.
Otherwise, we will call on the people of the three Baltic countries Stand up to resist the oppression of the Soviet Union."
Andrei burst into laughter suddenly, and explained under the puzzled eyes of the other three presidents,
"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, President of Estonia. I actually want to say that the three present here all are a form of garbage."
The dignified president of a country was called rubbish, and the expressions of the leaders of the three Baltic countries suddenly became gloomy.
Andrei turned a blind eye and continued, "Don't forget that in the national referendum held in mid-March today, 70% of Soviet citizens and more than nine member countries did not agree with separation into a loose confederation system, and supported a highly unified The Soviet Union.
That's why I laughed at you as a group of poor people who can't see the situation clearly."
"Oh, by the way, I just said that I came from Moscow with love and peace, but I didn't say whether 'Love and Peace' is the name of a tactical nuclear warhead in the Soviet Union."
Andrei raised his legs Sleeve glanced at his watch and said,
"It's almost time. If you turn on the TV, I think you will see the news that made the three Baltic countries worse."
"What news?" Anatoly asked. He almost had a heart attack when he heard the tactical nuclear bomb just now. Now that there is another news that makes matters worse, he might faint on the spot.
Before Andrei could speak, Estonia's presidential assistant hurried to Arnold's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Arnold, who was just a little gloomy, turned pale in an instant.
"Quick, turn on the TV." Arnold said angrily.
Grg.....rgr....grg.....
Suddenly everyone felt a earthquake beneath them. Before anyone could think, Andrei laughed out loud. With a evil grin he spoke.
"Hahaha hahaha... Now the real show is about to begin..."
