Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 801: Asian Warsaw Pact
If according to the explanation in the game, Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan of the United States came to power successively, they were preparing for the Soviet Union by holding back their big moves. If the Soviet Union resisted this wave, the two countries would be in big trouble. Reagan successively sheared South America, and used the Plaza Accord to clean up Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany in his second term. If the Soviet Union is not dead, the United States will not be able to find the next shearing object unless Britain and France are cleaned up.
But having said that, in the first year of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Soros seemed to have sniped at the pound. It was only a year after the collapse of the Soviet Union that the British pound was attacked. It can be seen that the United Kingdom and the United States are all deceptive.
"Okay, that woman is messing around on a small island on the edge of the world, and it won't affect us for the time being. But, I think of another question, can you send a batch of anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles to Chile? Chile Being alone overseas and not raising the level of the military is always worrying." Serov said with a frown, as if the internationalism that had not appeared in a long time once again enveloped his mind.
There are two advantages to doing this. The first advantage is as Serov said. Chile is indeed a weak position in the Soviet Union's global strategy. Although the Red Navy has not left the military port in Chile for a day, they are afraid that they will not be able to return after they leave. coming. The second benefit is that Chile and Argentina are neighbors, although the relationship between the two countries is very general. But this cannot change the fact that the two countries are neighbors. What if Argentina was photographed by Mrs. Thatcher when she was dying?
The Soviet Union sent troops to help Argentina kill the British Expeditionary Force? This is a joke, even if the US Navy is dead. The Soviet Union could not have wishful thinking that Argentina would be pro-Soviet after it killed Britain. At present, there is no evidence to show this. Shelov just hopes that Agenying can let the British die more people and lose more ships, which will make the British hurt.
That’s enough, Angola is already the limit of the Soviet Union’s current radiation. Before the war in Angola has completely stopped, going to South Africa to wrestle with the United States is an extremely ignorant behavior. The war between the Soviet Union and the United States will not happen in the beginning, then it will gradually expand, the United States will be weakened bit by bit, and finally it will take a risk. As long as the two countries go to war, it will turn into a full-scale war in a short period of time, and the first two steps will hardly take a short time.
Either do not fight, fight is a battle of life and death. Without an absolute advantage and without the Americans realizing that they had no hope of victory, the Soviet Union must not consider going to war unless the Americans themselves had lost confidence.
"It makes sense. Let me talk to Comrade Ustinov. Chile is indeed a bit thin..." Andropov nodded. He respected Serov very much. In fact, according to real power, for a long time , he is not as good as Shelov. It's just that the two of them can be on an equal footing as the secretary of the Central Committee. Since taking over the Central Supervisory Committee, that is, the department led by Shelepin and Shemichasny successively, Andropov can be regarded as a real high-ranking authority. There are organizational powers and supervisory powers at the same time.
Shelov was very cooperative with Andropov's request, because he was his own. Even if not, he will take great care of the subordinates left by the Central Supervisory Committee in Shelepin and Semichasne. Although a lot of those people have been replaced, the rest is part of the power, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
Shelov stood up to go, but immediately sat down again. It made Andropov a little surprised. Of course there is something, Serov hesitated for a while or asked, "You and Kirilenko seem to have quarreled a few times recently, because of what?"
"My relationship with him has never been very good. You also know that our philosophies are not very consistent, and our opinions at work are often completely opposite. This is something that can't be helped." Andropov said lightly. Kirilenko's rude remarks were influenced by his suave temperament.
The idea is inconsistent? Shelov's face was expressionless, and he didn't think so psychologically. The two people's ideas are very consistent, that is, they are eyeing the same seat. Everyone knows that Brezhnev is getting older, and his health is not good, so he can't work from time to time. In order to balance the usual presided over the meeting is Kirilenko and Andropov two.
Brezhnev never had a successor, and the position of the second secretary was Suslov's. Everyone knows that Brezhnev is ready to stay in the position of general secretary until his death, so that the Soviet Union under his leadership will be more powerful and leave his name in history. The most important thing is that no one dared to object. The chairman of the Supreme Soviet who opposed it has already left.
Then who is Brezhnev's successor, the next general secretary of the Soviet Union, depends on their own meaning. At present, in addition to Brezhnev himself holding two positions. The strength of the Dnipro gang and the real power faction is comparable, and the remaining group of neutral factions are not strong. Kirilenko has regarded himself as the heir of Brezhnev. Among the real power factions, Serov has never entered the secretariat, and he is always not in Moscow, and he is not even interested in going to the Kremlin for a meeting. Then he naturally targets another secretary of the Central Committee, who is also in charge of a powerful department and the Central Supervisory Committee. Ender Roboff.
Serov of course supported Andropov, because he knew that Andropov had kidney disease during the Great Patriotic War. In the 1980s, even gods would not come. In this case, Andropov even became president. Secretary, there was no time for him to bite back, but Kirilenko was not sure.
Serov accepted this explanation, got up again and said goodbye. The speed of the change made Andropov a little stunned.
"By the way, many foreign ministers are coming back to Moscow soon, remember to prepare." Andropov looked at the other party's back and said, "Even the general secretary is very concerned about this matter, and it is related to our Asian strategy."
"Understood, don't worry!" Serov, who walked to the door, didn't look back, just raised his right hand to show his understanding.
Foreign Minister Gromyko has been shuttled for several months, and now it has finally come to fruition. The Soviet Union also began to build an Asian security system to protect its own Far East. The reason is that China has just beaten Vietnam.
In addition, China occupied more than 200,000 square kilometers of land more than ten years ago, and China has fought three wars since its founding. It's just that there is no shock from the US's transoceanic operations, but the impact on a group of small countries is no worse than that from the United States.
In fact, the Asian security system advocated by the Soviet Union is the Asian version of the Warsaw Pact, a collective defense mechanism. But it was used to protect the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has been trying to find a way to protect the Far East, and now it finally has a chance.
On May 20, foreign ministers from various countries came to the Soviet Union successively. Foreign Minister Gromyko greeted them at the airport. In front of the entire venue, the national flags of various countries fluttered in the wind, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, the Kurdish Republic, plus The foreign ministers of eight countries of the Soviet Union attended the meeting.
Iraq and Syria, as Soviet thugs in the Middle East, did not attend, and North Korea did not attend. Myanmar said it did not attend because there was no security threat to the country.
"I was really surprised that Myanmar did not attend, and I also thought that Indonesia would not attend." Before the meeting, Foreign Minister Gromyko and Serov mentioned the meeting when they met. At the same time, it is a summary of my travels in the past few months.
"Myanmar is a country with a complex ethnic group, and it is understandable not to attend. But I didn't expect Indonesia to come." Serov was also surprised by this situation, but it is not unreasonable to think about it. People generally think that Indonesia is a pro-Soviet country, but it is not, at least not entirely. Indonesia should be said to be a pro-Soviet and pro-Japanese country. Japan has invested heavily in the development of Indonesia and has extensive influence in Indonesia.
Then a rather strange thing appeared. Although Indonesia has a very strong military connection with the Soviet Union, this is mainly because Indonesia wants to be against the United States, but at the same time, the country that accepts the largest foreign investment in Indonesia is Japan. Who has made Japan stronger and stronger economically in recent years? There is no pro-China soil in this country. Even though there are many Chinese, there are more Indonesians.
"I'm going first!" Gromyko said after a while, and Serov nodded in congratulations. If this happens, it will be the pinnacle of Gromyko's diplomatic career, as meaningful as when the Warsaw Pact was established.
The foreign ministers of the seven countries will definitely have to bargain in Moscow, but in terms of geographical factors, the contradictions between these countries are not as large as those of the Warsaw Pact member states. Such as the relationship between Hungary and Romania, Albania and Yugoslavia.
In the more than ten days of the meeting, Gromyko has been presiding over the meeting and regulating the relations between countries.
"The Soviet Union came forward to let fraternal countries use this occasion to make a collective security agreement because under the new situation, the threat of imperialism has become more complicated, and the enemy has become smarter and more cunning. The Soviet Union had no intention of interfering in Asia, but international obligations were not Don't let us do this." Gromyko emphasized, "It is the responsibility of every big country to protect the security of some small countries, but the Soviet Union still takes a fair attitude towards territorial disputes, because we really don't know that. Who does the place belong to…”
"I almost believed it, but why does it sound like U.S. imperialism to not take a stand on territorial disputes?" As a colleague Serov should not be demolished, but he can't help but complain now. Is it true that any country will be so shameless when it reaches a certain position? I believe that in the next 30 years, the Soviet Union will not have to worry about things in Asia.
Even if the Soviet Union wins, it will take a long time to digest Europe, not to mention that it has not yet won. (To be continued~^~)
