Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 793: hidden danger
The Soviet Union's control over Eastern Europe is far stronger than it has been in history. It can be said that among the few Eastern European thorns, the only country that Serov has not solved at present is Yugoslavia itself. The advantages of the Warsaw Pact in the confrontation in Europe far exceed that of NATO. If it were not for the economic advantages of Western Europe, it should be the scene of the Warsaw Pact marching westward to liberate the world.
Although Western Europe is not currently in dire straits, the people have no ardent desire for the Warsaw Pact to save them. However, everyone can clearly see that NATO is definitely not dominant when it comes to military power. We can only talk about the relatively nonsensical issue with economic construction as the core. NATO is no longer qualified to talk about military affairs.
The current situation in Europe is very embarrassing for Yugoslavia. The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have reached a moment when the sword is drawn, and the Yugoslav People's Army once carried out important reforms when the theory of limited sovereignty was introduced. Prepare for a sudden attack by the Warsaw Pact, this kind of defense is very correct, and planning this thing can never be too much. The Soviet Union has plans for military intervention in any country, and this naturally includes Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia's defense against the Soviet Union can only show that the other party is not stupid, and the problem is coming again. From the perspective of Yugoslavia, I believe that even if Tito is confident, I believe that he will not think that he is a strong party. He is still alive, but if he dies, who can save Yugoslavia when the Soviet army is overwhelmed?
"I only remembered the aftermath now, what did I do earlier? I didn't cooperate with the Soviet Union's policy, and now I remembered to ease relations?" Entering Yugoslavia through Bulgaria, when the train was about to arrive at the Belgrade railway station, Serov stood up, dressed in military uniform. Lieutenant Varya held the general's cloak in both hands and carefully tied it to Serov.
"Little girl, I'm not old enough to need someone to take care of me." Serov, who put on leather gloves, showed a smile, listening to the whistle of the train approaching the station, and a few minutes later, the chief political commissar with a cigar on his hat got off the train , the military boots under his feet stepped on the land of Belgrade.
This is the first time Serov has come to Yugoslavia, how do you feel? It feels no different. The mood is not surging, nor excited. Looking around, there are Yugoslav security guards nearby, are they specially to greet him?
The country of Yugoslavia, Serov, is not interested, except that the location makes it easier for the Soviet Union to oppress Western Europe, there is nothing left. The only thing Yugoslavia can call a name in the world is a man whose name is Tito, the symbol of Yugoslavia at present.
Under the leadership of the Yugoslav government, Serov took his anti-rebel workers to Tito's residence, the Yugoslav Presidential Palace. Here, Serov, who was going to Soviet Grad, met Tito, who was eighty-eight years old and had only one year of life. In all fairness, Tito looked more handsome than Brezhnev from the outside. To be a few years younger, this may be related to the other party's military career, so it seems that the figure is still tough.
No one would have thought that Tito would have a one-year lifespan, and maybe Tito would not have thought of it either. After meeting, the two people with an age gap of more than 30 years looked at each other from a distance, each with a dull look on their faces, and their eyes were full of scrutiny on the other.
After the Soviet Union and Romania jointly garrisoned the eastern bank of Soviet Grad, the Romanian People's Army re-participated in the Warsaw Pact One Exercise, and the roles between the Bulgarian People's Army and the Romanian People's Army changed. Before that, the main task of the Bulgarian People's Army was to intimidate Greece and Turkey. The secondary task was to cooperate with the Soviet army to occupy Romania at the beginning of the full-scale war, to kill the Romanian Ceausescu government that did not listen to the command, and to relieve the Soviet Union's worries. .
Now the task of the people's armies of the two countries, or the task of the Greek Defense Forces, is to invade Yugoslavia from several directions when necessary, and to settle the last disobedient country in Eastern Europe.
"Marshal Tito still seems to be in good health. I don't think it should be a problem for you to lead Yugoslavia for ten years. Under your leadership, Yugoslavia believes that no country can pose a threat to Yugoslavia." It was Serov who spoke first, facing the Greetings from Marshal Tito who invited him.
"Marshal Serov, do you mean that as long as I die, Yugoslavia will no longer be able to resist the Soviet Union?" Marshal Tito said with a resolute face, "Perhaps you think that your most proud plan, a surprise attack on Turkey can be Do it again from Yugoslavia?" Tito lived in the Soviet Union for a long time and could speak directly to Serov in Russian.
"Why not? I always thought that as long as the preparation time is long enough, no country is invulnerable. I can turn Turkey into what it is today, and there is no reason why it can't be done to Yugoslavia." Serov looked around carefully, and there was no If you find any secret guard, since there are only two people, then tell the truth, "Marshal Tito never takes a plane, is he afraid that he will be killed by the KGB when he is on a visit? You are too careless, you are so old, from From our point of view, we can wait for you to talk about the problems between the two countries after you die, right?"
"The Soviet Union has become more and more aggressive since you put forward the theory of limited sovereignty." Tito stared at Serov and said, "Even if Stalin was alive, there was nothing he could do to Yugoslavia."
"That's because you are still alive, how many years do I think you can live?" Shelov said tit-for-tat, "Small countries can rely on a leader to compete with big countries for a period of time, but once the leader dies, they will soon be killed. Go back to the original. To tell you the truth, 70% of the Soviet army is fighting against NATO, and 30% is against you.”
"I've made arrangements to protect Yugoslavia!" Tito looked at Serov unmoved, "I have to admit that Khrushchev and Brezhnev chose to subvert the Soviet Union's foreign policy or to attack strategically. Letting you trade is indeed the right person, you serve the Soviet Union, which is not good for other countries."
"In a socialist country, flirting with hostile camps is like holding a torch to light a gas station. It will eventually burn itself. From the Soviet point of view, Yugoslavia behaves like a traitor. As chairman of the KGB, I have Obligation to eradicate the traitors for the Soviet Union." Serov lit a chimney to himself, "Marshal Tito, you established the Yugoslav border guards in order to show that you can resist the Soviet attack. If I remember correctly, the border guards are from various Made up of the local people of the Republic? Are you sure that all the ethnic groups in Yugoslavia are hostile to the Soviet Union?”
After putting forward the theory of limited sovereignty, Tito decided to make a national defense plan as early as possible, an important part of which was to form a border defense army. Different from the professional People's Army, the Border Guard is armed by local militia, including most young men and women of school age. According to the national defense plan, the border guards conduct amateur military training in peacetime, and in wartime, they will be used as a reserve force to fight under the command of the People's Army, or they will carry out guerrilla warfare and auxiliary military tasks alone. However, the formation of border guards actually means that the locality already has its own armed forces.
As Serov said, there are so many ethnic groups in Yugoslavia, Serbs and the Soviet Union have traditionally been connected. Tito alive may continue to support Yugoslavia's current political establishment once Tito is dead. As long as Serov is given a few years, supporting the Serbs to detonate the Yugoslav civil war is completely a high probability event.
"You really have the demeanor of Stalin. Under your plan, does the Soviet Union want to swallow the world in one bite?" Tito sneered, "It seems that the Third Reich also had this idea back then. As a Soviet person, you should know best about his fate. But it's over."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm from the Soviet Union, so I'm not a Trotskyite. The current productive forces cannot meet the needs of the world revolution. I'm preparing to build a communist society in one country." Serov denied it, "If Yugoslavia is disobedient, , the Socialist Republic of Serbia may be obedient, if not, the Socialist Republic of Croatia may also be obedient, and Yugoslavia as a whole is not obedient, so let him split.”
"To be honest, you have suppressed the national forces of Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Albania for ten years. Are you tired? Why are there always split people? This has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, and I have no support for people in this area. . From what I have seen in the past few years, it is that Yugoslavia is after your death, the Soviet Union just needs to wait and do nothing. In the end, it can achieve its own goals.” Some thirsty Serov took out He took a sip of the water he brought over and said, "You are playing neutrality between the United States and the Soviet Union. Once the Soviet Union and the United States decide the outcome, what do you think will be the fate of Yugoslavia, unless the Soviet Union and the United States will never decide the outcome. "
"But isn't China okay now? You have so many layouts, it looks terrible." Tito said noncommittally.
"China is a multi-ethnic country in name only, and if Yugoslavia is 95 percent of the population, I will never incite Yugoslavia to separate. Because it cannot be successful. Don't think of me as stupid as Americans think. I Only do things that have a success rate, and don’t waste money and time doing useless work. Marshal Tito, it’s better to follow my train of thought and think about whether I can succeed.” Shelov stretched out his hand and said as if he were inviting.
"What is your purpose? How can you give up the policy of hostility to Yugoslavia." Tito also knew that Yugoslavia is a multi-ethnic country, and Yugoslavia itself has no major ethnic group, but Croatia and Serbia are two strong side by side.
"This can only be resolved within the framework of the big socialist family, so Yugoslavia should return to the Warsaw Pact." (To be continued~^~)
