Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 652: remnant
"Thank you for your father's education. He has not forgotten that he is Russian. I hope your family can build a bridge of friendship between the Soviet Union and Iran, which is also a good thing for us." Shelov has just sent off a guest, a Belarusian Cossack , their family has served in Iran for generations, but by this generation it is obviously not as famous as it used to be.
When Imperial Russia collapsed, there were not a few Cossacks who were driven to Iran by the Red Army. Over the years the KGB has searched among these thousands of families for a suitable proxy who, in due course, could help the Soviet Union and Iran draw closer. In order to support the King of Pahlavi at a critical moment.
After more than ten years of search and investigation, there are still a few families who have entered the KGB's sight. These people usually have prominent fathers, but in the 1970s, there was not much inheritance for them, and they had received a good education at all. , I was a little unwilling to the current status quo. In this case, when the KGB appeared with the money, the two sides soon had a common language.
The Pahlavi Dynasty is of course wary of the Soviet Union, but this is not inconsistent with Serov saving him, because once the Iranian religious revolution succeeds, Khomeini, who is replaced, is just as hostile to the Soviet Union, and the chain reaction must also be taken into account. Historically, Afghanistan was out of control, and Iran’s export revolution has a lot to do with it. As long as the Pahlavi Dynasty can survive and suppress Khomeini, the deteriorating external environment in Afghanistan will be within control. At that time, the Soviet Union can also borrow Afghanistan’s power to attack Pakistan. , open up the channel to the Indian Ocean.
Taking into account the chain reaction, once there is a religious revolution in Iran, Serov will start a dark line to contact Pahlavi, suppress this revolution that is a huge threat to the Soviet Union, and save Pahlavi's life at the most critical moment. Who says the Soviet Union can't be friends with the king? The strategic position of the Middle East is much more important than ideology and form.
It has been three months since Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union, and the Vietnam War is still in a state of fighting and talking. In fact, no country in Southeast Asia is peaceful. Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, all these countries are fighting. The only difference is the size. Among them, the most powerful is the Philippines, which is isolated and helpless by the sea on all sides. This surprised Serov very much. The scale of the New People's Army has exceeded 100,000 people.
With the secret cooperation of the Soviet Union, the socialist armed forces in Southeast Asian countries are much stronger than in the original history. At least he has never heard of the Communist Party active in southern Myanmar. In his impression, this kind of organization is close to the Chinese border. In the end, he found that many people from the Communist Party of India entered Myanmar and began to aid the Communist Party of Burma. I have never heard of the Thai People's Liberation Army that can attack a big city. Who would dare to believe such a situation.
The evolution of this situation has made the Soviet Central Presidium feel more and more that as long as the United States withdraws from Southeast Asia, this area of several million square kilometers will be completely discolored, and the attitude towards the Yin-South War has undergone a change again. Kirilenko believes that North Vietnam should negotiate with the United States immediately, and wait for the United States to quickly tear up the peace treaty and attack South Vietnam after the withdrawal of the United States. The withdrawal of the United States will leave a vacuum in Southeast Asia, and the Soviet Union can fill this force.
The other faction is represented by Andropov, or the strategy of continuing to fight and talk, causing the United States to continue to lose blood in North Vietnam.
Serov, who was hiding in Lubyanka, was not involved in this debate, he was thinking about the main object of his work. Geographically, the Philippines does not have an advantage. The New People's Army's momentum has something to do with the Soviet Union, but it is not so big. Mainly the masterpieces of Indonesia and a certain country, but the entire Southeast Asian Soviet Union should also make some achievements.
"So it seems that the current Communist Party of Thailand is the most powerful revolutionary force besides Indonesia, North Vietnam, and the Philippines? Who is supporting it?" Serov asked lazily, leaning back on his chair, "And they are fighting against them. Who?"
"Mainly, the three countries are supporting, and North Vietnam is the most supportive, because the US military base in Thailand is always used to bomb North Vietnam, followed by Indonesia, and then our eastern allies." As expected, he was not Vietnamese in his last life, so naturally he did not know Vietnam's great achievements in this regard.
Since the mid-1960s, the conflict between the Thai Communist guerrillas and the Thai government forces began to escalate. In the late 1960s, the Supreme Command of the Thai People's Liberation Army was established. Since then, many parts of northern Thailand have been reduced to battlefields. In the area bordering Malaysia in southern Thailand, the Thai Communist guerrillas and the Malaysian Communist guerrillas have turned the area upside down. Since the 1970s, the Viet Cong, which has been victorious in its own territory, has provided a lot of logistical support to the Thai Communist Party. In return, the Thai guerrillas began to attack U.S. air bases in Thailand, which were often used to bomb the North Vietnamese People's Army.
"Bring the information to me!" After reading the information, Serov found something interesting, which is different from other Southeast Asian countries, that is, the Communist Party of Thailand is divided into two main parts, the southern and northern parts of Malaysia are the same as Thailand. In an important area where the Communist Party is active, there is also a part of the Malaysian Communist Party who retreated here to help the Thai Communist Party fight. One of the reasons why communism in Thailand is so powerful is the full cooperation of the Communist Party of Malaysia.
"The combat effectiveness of the Thai government army is not strong. In fact, it is far less difficult to deal with than South Vietnam." Shelov had a doubt as to why there was no progress with the support of Vietnam and Indonesia, but he knew the reason immediately, and his voice was lowered. Said, "It turned out to be the remnants of the Artillery Party that had retreated to the island. No wonder they and the Communist Party are old rivals."
"We started in Thailand. On the one hand, North Vietnam can influence there. On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of the Thai royal family is average, and there is support from the Malaysian Communist Party in the south. These favorable conditions." Shelov looked up at Tsweigun, the vice chairman of the KGB in charge of Southeast Asia. He said decisively, "The first step is to eliminate the remnants of the Artillery Party for me. The weapons we have to reach North Vietnam on the road will be increased, and a part will be allocated to the Communist Party of Thailand. The survival of the Communist Party of Thailand must be improved to be equivalent to that of North Vietnam. In addition, it is necessary to let Indonesia pay more attention to southern Thailand, cooperate with us in this matter, and we will act together to make Thailand change its color. Organize the communist armed forces of neighboring countries and concentrate their forces to attack Thailand.”
"Chairman, do you take it easy, the general secretary is still organizing the European Security Conference." Zweigon reminded cautiously.
Zweigon originally thought that with the support of the general secretary, it would be easy to watch Serov, but the more time passed, the more he could feel the atmosphere inside the KGB. The youngest KGB chairman in history has an unshakable status at all.
"It can be delayed if the armed forces of the surrounding countries are organized to go to Thailand, but the supply to the Thai Communist Party must start immediately. I don't believe it. Thousands of artillery parties can join the army and send people to contact them. If they If we can do it anyway, we can let go of the past, otherwise we can tell them that they should know the combat effectiveness of the Communist Party best.” Seelov looked at Zweigon’s incomprehension, and shouted angrily, “You won’t use China to scare and scare you. What about them? If you can’t make it work, buy them from me. The history of the Artillery Party is that they are constantly being bought off. They promise to let them lead the way on their terms, but it’s really impossible to give them party certificates and let them join the Communist Party.”
"Chairman, this is not good, so other departments will not agree." Zweigon's face is very helpless, that is, the other party is his own boss, and the authority of the KGB cannot be shaken. My face is drooling, and each of these suggestions is more unreliable than the other.
"Did I say we issued our party card? There are a few people who know Russian. You give them the Cuban Communist Party card, but they don't know it. Security cadres must have some basic common sense." The Artillery Party is very easy to buy. As long as we can afford the price, the Artillery Party has no power to bring down Bangkok, but with their leadership, Thailand can be chaotic in a short time. As long as the national order collapses, among all political parties, Thailand The Communist Party is the most organized and combative party among them, and it has advantages over other parties.”
In history, the Kingdom of Thailand took a life, which was mainly due to the interruption of aid after the Sino-Vietnamese war, otherwise the war would still be fought. In the years since Vietnam's reunification, Thailand has faced strong pressure. Now the process is ahead of schedule.
"Hey, is there anything else?" Serov asked in confusion, why didn't Zweigong leave?
"Pol Pot seems to be visiting Hanoi." The news of Tsvigon made Serov stand up, and after a long time he said slowly, "Leave this man in Hanoi and tell me the news of the success at that time."
A country can make some mistakes. Which country is not at fault? But this man's mistake will affect many countries. Shelov didn't believe that those people in Cambodia were all killed by Pol Pot, and that Lon Nol won't die after so many years of war? American bombers fly in the sky every day without killing anyone, so if there is a chance, let Vietnam solve him in advance.
In September, the Komsomolskaya Pravda issued a shocking news that the World Congress of the Communist and Workers' Parties, which had been in preparation, would not be held in Moscow this time, but in Chile. Secretary of the Central Committee Andropov and General Political Commissar Serov will travel to Santiago for the conference in a month. Subsequently, Chilean President Allende also faced up to the news and welcomed fraternal parties and socialists from all over the world to Chile. (To be continued~^~)
