The Republic of Malta, a small small country located in the heart of the Mediterranean, remained neutral during the Cold War and did not depend on any country. Places like this are most suitable for negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union.

As a escort, Seriosha followed Gorbachev to Malta and attended the upcoming US-Soviet summit forum here. The Soviet Union's Foreign Minister Schevaldnaze, as well as Gorbachev's most trusted assistant, Yakovlev.

The main topic of this summit is to end the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union and turn war into pleasant. In fact, there was nothing about Seriosha here, but Gorbachev still brought Seriosha with him. He hoped that Seriosha could find an opportunity to contact the United States secretly and see if he could get some funds from the United States. Because by March next year, a large amount of debts in the Soviet Union will be about to expire, and this debt can kill the Soviet Union. Gorbachev's only hope now is to take on new debts and pay off the old accounts. However, if the funds are not in place and there is a debt default, the Soviet Union will not be able to obtain funds from the international level. A country without credit cannot borrow money.

Gorbachev was full of expectations for Seriosha, but Seriosha had no idea. A country's debt is not a small amount. In addition, the income of the Soviet treasury has been decreasing over the years, and it is simply a dream to repay the debts based on the Soviet Union's own hematopoietic ability.

Seriosha now has a lot of funds, but these funds are also used to create new jobs for the Soviet Union. If they are used to repay debts, they will not be able to resettle millions of troops from Eastern Europe. Therefore, Seriosha can only find another way to find other solutions to the Soviet Union's national debt problem.

Is it possible to use oil and other resources to repay the debts of the Soviet Union? Although this seems feasible, there are very few countries that can accept this plan. At present, it seems that West Germany may accept this condition, because if the two Germanys want to be unified, the Soviet Union's attitude is crucial, and to obtain the consent of the Soviet Union, it must be exchanged for the conditions that the Soviet Union is interested in. Debt reduction and exemption is absolutely necessary, and maybe Seriosha can even make another note from the Germans.

However, West Germany has to take the initiative to discuss these matters with the Soviet Union, otherwise it would be impossible to raise prices. However, at this summit, although the Soviet Union had requested the United States, Selyosha felt that the United States was actually more eager to reach a settlement agreement. After all, the Malta Conference was the best opportunity in decades, and the United States must really hope that the Soviet Union can completely lift the dangerous medium-range missiles and steel torrents deployed on the western border.

Before the formal talks, Seriosha found an opportunity to communicate with Shevaldnaze. The theme of this meeting should be the troops deployed by the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe and the medium-range missile issue on the western border. Seriosha did not want Gorbachev to make concessions on this issue at once. Even if the withdrawal and the destruction of missiles already deployed must be processed. At least the Americans cannot be allowed to speak out and the Soviets must do so. Seriosha hopes that the withdrawal of troops in Eastern Europe can be resolved in batches, and the corresponding countries will bear most of the costs for the withdrawal of the Soviet Union.

Shevaldnaze still agreed with Sevaldah's suggestion. Shevaldnaze knew the weight of the burden on her shoulders now, so after communicating with Sevaldah, Shevaldnaze immediately suggested to Gorbachev to arrange Sevaldah as the main person in charge of negotiations with the United States.

The first meeting did not talk about any substantial content. Both sides were just expressing their own positions. These contents had been confirmed several times before the meeting. Instead, journalists around the world were concerned about the meeting between Gorbachev and Bush. From the current perspective, although the two sides had serious differences on some major issues, the basic view of ending the standoff was still consistent. Therefore, the key to the summit was the next talks.

Gorbachev and Bush took their respective staff to discuss the issue of the Soviet Union's reduction of nuclear weapons and medium-range missiles. This time, it was a real battle. Seriosha sat in the corner, listening to Gorbachev's concessions bit by bit. Gorbachev's concessions were too great. The Americans never mentioned what specific support they would give to the withdrawal of the Soviet Union. Seriosha understood very clearly that the United States' commitment was vague, while the Soviet Union's commitment was real. Seriosha could no longer bear it, and he suddenly interrupted the dialogue between Gorbachev and Bush.

"Mr. President, I'm very presumptuous to interrupt your conversation. I want to ask you a question. Do you know what year our country was just established?"

Selyosha's sudden voice made everyone present look at him, but Selyosha's face remained unchanged. Gorbachev didn't know what Sexoryosha was selling, but Bush still answered the question politely.

"It was 1922, this young gentleman!"

"To be precise, December 30, 1922, two days away, 1923. A year later, in January 1924, we lost the great leader Comrade Lenin. Do you know what the Soviet Union was like at that time?"

"I hope to hear it clearly!" President Bush replied gracefully. The Secretary of State around him had already handed him a small note, telling him that the Soviet Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs and the popular Ulyanov, who was speaking.

"At that time, the Russian Empire had fallen apart and split into six countries: the Soviet Union, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. We had just pacified the White Army in the country, but lost a large area of ​​territory in the war with Poland. The 700,000 Polish troops led by Bisuski defeated 2.3 million Soviet Red Army. In addition, Finland and Romania, which had just been independent, were constantly eroding our territory on the border. I think the difficulties we encountered when we founded the country were much more difficult than the American War of Independence..."

"Well, Minister Ulyanov, we are here to discuss the Cold War that is a problem. I think your topic will not help us today's negotiations. If I have time in private, I will be happy to ask you about historical issues." President Bush said impatiently.

"Mr. President, compared with the difficulties that Comrade Stalin faced at the beginning, what is the setback that our Soviet Union encountered today..." Hearing Seryosha mentioned Stalin, the venue became quiet again.
