"The U.S. Secretary of State is visiting Yugoslavia and China? Are you sure?" Serov thought quickly with a telegram, "On the day of the Soviet military parade? Do you want to talk to the two countries about the hegemony of the Soviet Union?"

   "Yes, General Political Commissar, the United States is now accusing the Soviet Union of being hegemonic and wants our neighbors to strengthen their defenses?" said an officer in the Foreign Intelligence Department of the First General Bureau worriedly.

"What the Americans say can't be completely wrong. However, China and Yugoslavia have a normal relationship with us, but it is impossible for the two countries to convert public opinion opposition into military preparations." Serov thought for a while and said, "The leaders of the two countries will consider their own interests, which is normal. But they will never fight with us just because of a few words from the Americans."

  Becoming a Communist is not an honorary title, nor a hereditary title, but an attitude toward life. This attitude must be consistent from the moment of becoming a communist to the end of life. To be a communist is an attitude, to give up this attitude, even though he was once a communist, he no longer has the attitude of a communist to face life, face the revolution, face the class and the people. At present, the leaders of the two countries are all such communist parties. It is not that the Soviet Union has no way to deal with it. This kind of leadership is absolutely impossible. In this historical time and space, the cold treatment of the Soviet Union is the best way to deal with it.

  I don't support you, I don't help you, and the two sides don't interfere with each other and handle their own affairs by themselves, which is very good. It is equally impossible to get aid from the Soviet Union, and Serov will never agree.

"Don't worry about this first, let's first care about the security of the military parade. We must know that Constantinople has just been conquered. Be careful of the Turks doing things during this time. In case a Turkish hot-blooded young man wants to make big news, we will The face of the country will be completely lost, and ensuring the safety of the military parade is our current job." Shelov ordered indifferently, "If there is any discord during the military parade, I will hold you accountable."

   "General Political Commissar, I promise not a single fly can get in." Serov's eyebrows twitched. If he remembered correctly, people who say this on TV usually get slapped in the face. He was stunned for a while and said again, "I don't want your guarantee. If something goes wrong, you are ready to guard the Bering Strait."

   "It seems that the side effects of attacking Turkey are starting to appear, but compared with this side effect, the harvest is still the largest." Serov spread out the map and looked at the entire southern border of the Soviet Union. From the information collected so far, it seems that Iran has increased the construction of its military and has just signed a contract with the United States to purchase weapons, but it does not yet know what to buy.

Afghanistan is now in power of Daoud, at least for a few years, the problem will not be big, so now the only one who can have enough ability to involve the Soviet Union should be China. At present, the number of Chinese troops is about 4.8 million, compared with the six in the same period in history. The army of 1.7 million is relatively restrained. But this is not the case in the eyes of the Soviet Union, which is also the original intention of the Soviet Ministry of Defense to increase troops in the Far East.

"It is best to resist the temptation of the United States, otherwise the Caucasus heavy army group whose pressure in the Near East has disappeared may be transferred to the Far East." After this war, the pressure of the Soviet Union in the Near East no longer exists. Once China fails to restrain, the Soviet Caucasus tanks The army will be transferred to the Far East, as soon as this not-so-fantastic idea comes true. That's a big joke. The Soviet troops in the Caucasus are not the third-line troops and border guards in history, but the first-line troops that are similar to the Soviet garrison in Eastern Europe.

   "Yura, what are you looking at so seriously, I didn't find it when I came in?" Ustinov looked down at the map with a questioning look and asked, "Are you thinking about our army in the Caucasus?"

   "Yes, once the Kurdish Republic is established, the Caucasus will not need so many troops. It needs to be carefully considered which country this army should be stationed in." Serov chatted with Ustinov as usual. Brezhnev said that the disarmament was just a meaning, and he expressed his sincerity by laying off 102,000 and 200,000 people to fool the West.

Needless to say, the    southern cluster will be stationed directly on the east coast of the Dardanelles in the future. It is still a question of where to go to the heavily armed group in the Caucasus, "Which Eastern European country do you think is the most dishonest?" Serov asked this question rather vaguely, and Ustinov said softly after thinking for a long time, "Poland..."

"The northern group in Poland has less than 100,000 people, and we can deploy at least ten tank divisions and motorized infantry divisions in the Caucasus to make the northern group a heavy force in addition to the western group, which can directly impress NATO. In fact, geographically speaking, Czechoslovakia is the best place.” Serov is going to communicate with Ustinov. If he goes back to China to discuss this matter, he will know with his **** that the troops from the Caucasus will go to the Far East. .

"There should be no problem. When the Warsaw Pact Military Conference is held, I will raise it at the conference. Our main direction is naturally Europe." Ustinov agreed. Although he was born in a military engineer, he is more than a general commander. Officers are tougher. People are always like this. Many people have doubts about Ustinov, who was a military engineer. In this case, Ustinov has to make me tougher than your generals who were commanders. look.

   It is also because of this that Serov discussed with Ustinov, and the result of his consultation with Defense Minister Grechko, that the Caucasus troops must be transferred to the Far East to balance the 4.8 million army.

"Okay, pack up, we're ready to go to Constantinople, Comrade Fortseva and Defense Minister Comrade Grechko have arrived there, and the military parade will begin the day after tomorrow. General Secretary and President Karamanlis we Let's go together." After chatting for a while, Ustinov remembered his purpose for coming here.

   "Okay, I'll pack my things." Shelov folded the map and stuffed it into the briefcase, and should really leave.

In a broad sense, the area of ​​Constantinople is now empty. It is not an exaggeration to describe a day as empty. The large city of more than 10 million people in the later generations has only 200,000 soldiers from the southern group of the Soviet Union and the Greek Defense Forces. As for the Soviet Union to participate The number of cadres and the number of institutions to be established soon cannot make the city look popular.

   But this does not hinder Brezhnev's high-spirited nature. The dream of the Russians for hundreds of years will soon be realized from his hands. Even if he was born in Ukraine, it will not delay the passion in his heart.

"We must ensure the absolute safety of the military parade. All the soldiers participating in the military parade, including the Greek soldiers, must check their guns, and there must be no bullets. If you find the Turks who are hiding, arrest them immediately." Serov, who was sitting in the car, was inspecting while arranging security work. If he hadn't always attached importance to security work, he himself would not know how many times he had been assassinated.

   At this moment, the car suddenly swayed. The driver glanced at it and reported, "General Political Commissar, the tires seem to be out of air. I don't know why."

"It's out of gas, change the tires!" While talking, Serov carefully glanced around and found nothing suspicious. He would never let himself be in isolation. The two cars behind were all the first. Security personnel of the Ninth General Administration.

The expected assassination didn't happen. It was really just an accident. The only small problem was that there was no jack in the car. After waiting for a while, Serov, who was impatient, got out of the car and saw his boss get out of the car, followed by two cars. The people in the middle got out of the car to help one after another, "Idiot!" As he spoke, Serov stretched out a hand and grabbed the bumper, and lifted it up.

   "What are you looking at? Quickly change!" Serov urged, with his hands still on the bumper, he didn't like this kind of staring at gorillas.

Soon after everyone changed the tires, the driver returned to the car and said with admiration, "Chairman, your body is very strong, you don't look like a person in his fifties at all, you can lift it with one hand. car."

"You can do more exercise!" The convoy continued to move forward in this city where human beings suddenly disappeared. They saw the main streets of the military parade with their own eyes. Combined with the safety arrangements they had seen earlier, they returned to the rest for the military parade. The location means that there will be no problems with the entire parade.

Around the selected rostrum, it has become a sea of ​​red. The portraits of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin are all inlaid around the chairman. The Soviet Union, which has a lot of experience in military parades, can easily create a lively scene. , so that others can't see that Constantinople at this time is actually an empty city.

  October 23, Brezhnev, surrounded by defense minister Grechko, Secretary of the Central Committee Ustinov, General Political Commissar of National Security Serov, and three generals representing hard-line generals, boarded the rostrum.

The troops under review on the ground lined up along the straight streets until their eyesight was no longer enough. The troops participating in the military parade this time included not only the southern group, but also the Osad military region, the North Caucasus military region and the Transcaucasus who also participated in the offensive against the Turkish war. Troops, naval infantry and airborne troops of the military district.

General Secretary Brezhnev drove slowly from the rostrum in a car, reviewed the soldiers lining up along the street in the military music of the Ode to Victory, and then returned to the rostrum, "Comrades soldiers, sailors and non-commissioned officers. Sergeants and comrades generals! Like you, I am honored to be here today. You have proved with practical actions that the great Soviet and the great Soviet Red Army are invincible, and all comrades are worthy of our motherland."

"Ulla, Ulla, Ulla!" The cheers resounded from all over the city, and Brezhnev listened to the huge cheers with an indifferent expression, and didn't say until the sound disappeared, "Now I announce that the establishment of the Soviet military parade officially begins. ..." (~^~)
