Chapter 133 The Polish Government in a Dilemma

Yuri soon fulfilled his promise, and with the support of the Gorky Brotherhood, food supplies to Poland began to increase. Walesa is also full of confidence in this action. Walesa soon made a request to the Polish authorities through some media in Poland that support Solidarity. That is to make Solidarity a legal organization in Poland, and at the same time release the leaders and members of Solidarity arrested by the Polish secret police.

When these two news were released by the media, the Polish authorities immediately blocked the media. And refused to start a dialogue with Solidarity. This gave Walesa a reasonable excuse for his strike action. So in Gdansk, the hometown of Solidarity, Walesa was the first to attack.

The strike action started at the Gdansk shipyard where Walesa worked. On a weekday morning, a strike call with the seal of the Solidarity union was pasted on the gate of the Gdansk shipyard. Then the managers of the factory discovered that most of the workers working here refused to come to work in the factory.

The strike action spread like a plague from one factory to another. In less than a week, a third of Gdansk's factories have come to a standstill. What's more serious is that some school teachers also spontaneously joined the anti-government activities.

The workers put forward three demands to the government through the media, the first is to release the arrested members of the Solidarity trade union. Second, make Solidarity a legal social group. Third, improve the current situation of shortage of domestic materials and high prices.

After the Polish government learned of the situation in Gdansk, it once again felt overwhelmed. You know, since 1983, the Polish government has implemented nationwide martial law with the support of the Soviet Union. There was an exchange of fire between the Solidarity trade union and the Polish government forces. It took a whole year to suppress Solidarity by force. Unexpectedly, within a few years, the Solidarity trade union has made a comeback.

Wojciech Jaruzelski, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers Party and the actual leader of Poland, felt that the problem was very difficult at this time. Although Jaruzelski was from the army, he was the only general in the Polish army. But his political stance tends to be moderate. When the Solidarity Federation launched wave after wave of strikes and demonstrations across the country, although Jaruzelski was the enforcer of violent suppression and nationwide martial law, he was unwilling to do so from the bottom of his heart.

At that time, the Soviet Union continued to exert pressure on the Polish government. If Jaruzelski did not impose martial law on Poland and suppress Solidarity, then the Solidarity strike may evolve into the second Prague Spring. The result was that the Soviet Red Army directly took over Poland. This is what Jaruzelski, who wants Poland to be independent, does not want to see.

In order to stop the strike from spreading, Jaruzelski deliberately sent his confidants to secretly contact the Solidarity Union. At the same time, he hinted that the All Polish Workers Association, which obeys the government's orders, initiated a boycott of the strike.

The only reason why Jaruzelski did this was that he was worried that the Soviet Union would have an excuse to interfere in Poland's internal affairs. From the perspective of the Polish government, although Solidarity is dangerous, it is still Poland's own family. If Poland is taken over by the Soviet Union, Jaruzelski will become Poland's sinner.

Jaruzelski sent someone he trusted to Gdansk to meet with Solidarity, hoping to nip this strike in the bud. Walesa did not shut out Jaruzelski's special envoy. In fact, Walesa is also a moderate within the Solidarity trade union. He hopes to achieve his political goals through non-violent non-cooperation, rather than resort to force.

"Secretary Yaruzelski asked me to negotiate with you, but before this matter is concluded, I hope you will not disclose this matter to the outside world!" Yaruzelski's special envoy told Solidarity's Wa Wensa reminded.

"Okay, but are you planning to agree to our conditions this time?" Walesa asked directly.

"On the issue of the release of the arrested Solidarity members, Secretary Jaruzelski is willing to make concessions! But the legalization of the Solidarity trade union and the supply of goods! With all due respect, neither of these things can be solved overnight , all require a collective vote of the Polish United Workers Party. This kind of matter is often very complicated, so complicated that Secretary Jaruzelski cannot decide this matter alone." Jaruzelski's special envoy is inconvenient to say more The inside story, which also involves the Soviet Union, involves the millions of troops on the Soviet-Polish border. In case the Solidarity union becomes big and the Soviets lose patience and plan to send troops to solve it, then the country of Poland will inevitably fall into a worse situation.

"Mr. Special Envoy, Solidarity is the just voice of Polish workers. If you do not give Solidarity a legal status, then you are making enemies of most Polish workers!" Walesa said bluntly.

Negotiations went on for a whole day, and Walesa didn't know Jaruzelski's difficult situation. Although Jaruzelski looked high, he could only deal with the Solidarity issue carefully, neither To give the Soviets an excuse, but not to make the Solidarity Union make too much trouble. The special envoy felt that the differences between the two sides were too great to continue the talks. However, Wawensa still showed goodwill. She agreed that after the government released the arrested persons of the Solidarity Union, the Solidarity Union would resume production in some factories. This guarantee made Jaruzelski's special envoy finally heave a sigh of relief, and he could go back to report.

Secretary Jaruzelski was anxiously waiting for the news from his subordinates in Warsaw, but at this moment, a phone call made Jaruzelski's heart rise to his throat. The Soviet ambassador to Poland, Aristov, soon called Jaruzelski to inquire about the Gdansk workers' strike. He asked in a worried tone on the phone: "Dear Comrade Wojciech, is Poland Is the wave of opposition to the Soviets revived in the country again? Kulikov, commander-in-chief of the Warsaw Pact coalition forces, and I are deeply worried about the situation in Poland!"

"Dear Comrade Aristov, please believe us, the situation is under control. Our Polish United Workers' Party is capable of handling our own affairs. Please give us a little more time..." Jaruzelski suppressed his anger , Said in a soft voice. ...
