CIA employee Socha Novaci has been in a very bad mood recently. He has been assigned to Romania for more than a year, but has achieved limited results. Although he has contacted several middle-level or upper-middle-level politicians of the Romanian Communist Party, the real He has yet to find an influential and decisive role.
In fact, this is not a problem in the first place. In the Romanian Communist Party, they are either Ceausescu's lackeys or a group of losers. You can't expect to find a particularly strong one among the losers. Novac and the big boss behind him , Uncle Sam comes with its own plug-ins and fertilizers. As long as you are admitted to the big tree of Uncle Sam, even a Chihuahua can turn you into a Tibetan Mastiff.
A few months ago, Novacs and his colleagues in Romania spent a lot of effort to get close to a target they believed would be more promising-Ion Iliescu. They held some talks with Iliescu and promised him a lot of support, including key international recognition and public opinion support. It seemed that as long as the news spread, Iliescu would raise his voice and the entire Romanian country would change. Ceausescu will be swept into the trash heap like waste paper.
However, at first they thought they had found a character who could make the final decision. After all, Ion Iliescu was in his prime, and he also enjoyed a reputation as a virtuous person within the Romanian Communist Party. He also opposed Ceausescu on many issues, and even more Suppressed by Ceausescu, it is impossible to find a more suitable role than him.
But Novacs and his colleagues gradually discovered a problem, that is, Iliescu was far less obedient than he thought. When Novacs proposed to turn Romania into a completely Westernized country after the drastic changes, illegalizing Romania Communist Party, and opened the party ban to allow multiple parties to run for power. Iliescu hesitated for a while, and actually said that he needed to think about this kind of thing.
A CIA employee who thinks highly of himself threatens him that if he does not obey the wishes of the United States, the United States will also support new targets. Although Iliescu publicly apologized repeatedly and said that he was willing to cooperate with the United States and Western democratic societies, he still refused to let go and insisted that more time be needed for discussion.
Novacs is a very experienced spy. He deduced from Iliescu's actions and other rumors that intelligence units from the CIE and the Western camp were not the only ones operating in this land. He intuitively sensed that there was a spy. Unseen but stronger hands than theirs are already pushing Romania along a road they don't even know.
"Who is operating?" Although Nowac was able to use some diplomatic channels such as the US Embassy to inquire about information, and also had the help of Western journalists in Romania, it was not easy to achieve true comprehensive penetration.
While Novak was racking his brains to return Romania to the blueprint drawn by Uncle Sam, a secret meeting that really decided the future direction of Romania was being held in a top-secret underground facility.
Ion Iliescu, who was very dissatisfied with Novaci, was present. Not only him, but many influential figures in the Romanian Communist Party were also present. If Ceausescu saw this scene, he would probably be disappointed. The air coming up from the soles of his feet could freeze his brain directly.
This was the case for a series of former dignitaries such as the rising star Ilie Wildez, the patriarch Konstantin OI Pervolescu, the famous theorist Paul Niculescu-Mizil, and so on. It was cramped in a basement with even dim lighting and a small space.
In another dimension, Iliescu, Wildez and others are actually not on the same page. Wildez and Pervolescu once planned to take over the new government after the Ceausescu regime fell, but Iliescu With the support of the West, Sicu and the National Salvation Front entangled a large number of dissidents and surrendering troops, drove them out of the government buildings, and completed the seizure of power. However, in this plane, Iliescu was secretly drawn in early, and he also joined the Romanian Patriotic Front, an organization that had formed a powerful secret force.
The difference between one word and another actually means a world of difference. The meaning of saving the country is more focused on the fact that the country has collapsed and a thorough and drastic change is needed to save the country's destiny, while the meaning of patriotism is lighter and more inclined. To correct the wrong course and lead the country to the right path.
To put it bluntly, the action goals of the two organizations are to eradicate the Romanian Communist Party and to save the Romanian Communist Party.
As Iliescu was once considered the successor of Ceausescu, he has a relatively strong political background advantage. Of course, Wildec, who was the former Prime Minister of the Romanian government, is also a very powerful figure, so the two are now in the Patriotic The competitive spirit has always been maintained in the activities of the Front.
The development of the Patriotic Front is extremely secretive, but it has been silent and has built an organization of staggering scale. This organization, which originated from and was hidden within the Romanian Communist Party, has become completely partisan. Although the internal discussion issues and deployment activities of the Patriotic Front are basically discussed and then decided by Iliescu and a group of senior Patriotic Front officials, no one can truly forget the Patriotic Front.How exactly was it established? It was established with the funding and support of intelligence personnel from China¡¯s Strategic Security Bureau.
Even though those intelligence officers who are clearly not Asian but serve China smile and say nothing every day, just watching the old men fight, Iliescu and others will never ignore them. These Chinese Strategic Bureau agents are actually too big. The Patriotic Front now has a secret, independent armed force that does not obey other than the top brass of the Patriotic Front. It is equipped with advanced weapons and equipment. What if the Patriotic Front needs to plan something? Armed operations can definitely come in handy. Furthermore, all secret activities of the Patriotic Front are planned and organized with the assistance of the Strategic Bureau. They provide the Patriotic Front with venues and funds for activities, and most of the personnel are contacted and recruited by agents of the Strategic Bureau. .
It can be said that although the Patriotic Front is nominally the Romanians themselves, it is impossible for Iliescu to really ignore the ideas of the people who made it happen.
Iliescu remembers asking his contact person, Nicolai, why China would travel thousands of miles and spend such a high price to help Romania get through this crisis.
Nicolai replied: "A storm is coming that focuses on the socialist countries. In this storm, the fruits of our ancestors' blood and lives will be taken away by that group of decadent and self-proclaimed noble capitalist demons." , our country and history are about to enter a regression, which must not be tolerated.
But unfortunately, the Soviet Union took the wrong path. Instead of perfecting their socialist line, they began to enjoy the privileges provided by their huge country and resources, and began to abandon the just and fair international communist movement and instead Hegemonic Yushe line. As for Gorbachev's reforms, they could only exacerbate the collapse of the Soviet Union. China has undoubtedly found a way forward after some ups and downs, but China is not strong enough to fight against the entire Western camp, so all China can do is leave as many red seeds as possible in this storm.
It is true that for China itself, the more socialist countries that remain, the less isolated China will be in the future world structure, and the friendship we forged through providing timely assistance will help us develop strategic partners with brotherly countries in the future. Relationships are of great help. I believe this choice is mutually beneficial. China's external actions will never be as low-level as the unilateral and narrow-minded ones of Britain and the United States. We have a more tolerant and kinder heart. "
When Nicolai said this, he didn't feel that his Eastern European face and Chinese appearance were so incompatible. Instead, he was actually a Red Alert spy, so he had no national knowledge of Romania. Qi Yiming is loyal to the Red Alert master controller.
In the underground conference room, Pervolescu, who presided over the meeting, coughed twice and then said: "Our intelligence shows that the West is carefully planning a false public opinion offensive to fake a massacre that occurred in our border areas. , and publish it to the whole world, naming our government, especially Ceausescu, as a murderer and executioner, thereby overthrowing our CP organization and completing a drastic change in the social system like Poland."
His words did not cause much repercussions among the senior leaders, because most of the top leaders of the Patriotic Front had their own dedicated contacts and received the news in advance. What Pervolescu said at this time was just a primer. Let's discuss how to deal with it.
Maurer, the veteran of the Romanian Communist Party, has lost power and retired, but the Strategic Bureau still used means to move this giant Buddha out. This veteran has a relatively deep friendship with China, so he also has goodwill towards the Strategic Bureau's helpers. At this time, he He said worriedly: "The hostile forces in the West are selfless. If they are allowed to successfully complete this plan, I am afraid that the ruling status of the party organization will be seriously shaken. Losing Ceausescu is not something that cannot be accepted, but even If the Romanian Communist Party is also pulled down, the gains will outweigh the losses. We cannot allow this to happen. "
Because Ion Iliescu is more active in the Patriotic Front, he is one of the two people most promising to become the leader. He has a sharp look and said without concealment: "I think that although it is a big crisis, in the crisis Including a turning point, Ceausescu must fall, and those who are loyal to him must also be suspicious and alienated from him. After all, the strength of our Patriotic Front is limited, and we can only use this opportunity to bring down Ceausescu. Only then can we, the Patriotic Front, come to the forefront.¡±
Maurer was quite dissatisfied and said: "You are doing this in a conspiracy and it is very unfair."
Iliescu did not mince words, saying: "Our Patriotic Front itself is not an aboveboard organization now. If we want to be in the sun, I am afraid that we cannot avoid some shady things."
