Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 802: brewing
NATO defeated the Warsaw Pact in the 1990s, but it was really decisive that Eastern Europe could not turn over. In 1998, Western Europe harvested the wealth of Eastern Europe, completely destroying the national industries established by Eastern European countries during the socialist period. Western Europe itself is richer than Eastern Europe and cannot immediately show hostility, and neither can the Soviet bloc.
How to incorporate Western Europe into the Soviet system, we must not order all Western European countries to follow suit. In order to complete the task at a small cost, it is destined to carry out a long-term plan, waiting for opportunities and games are necessary.
So this requires some planning. If the food looks too ugly, the Soviet Union will not benefit. Any country must follow certain laws. The Soviet Union's plans and directives cannot solve all problems, but Western European countries will resist.
This dialogue between the Soviet Union and the Asian allies, as the general secretary and chairman of the Supreme Soviet, the worthy leader of the Soviet Union, the undisputed master of the Eurasian continent, the second Ilyich after Lenin, and so on. Nev, also after the meeting entered a decisive stage, began to preside over the meeting.
On the surface, Brezhnev is still dignified and restrained. In the Brezhnev era, the relative strength of the Soviet Union had reached the strongest level in history, and its international status far surpassed that of the imperial Russian era known as the European military police. The increase in strength allowed the Soviet Union to truly begin to reflect its strength of two powers side by side, and began to compete fiercely with the United States all over the world.
So even if Brezhnev is a little old, he arrives at the meeting with this kind of aura, and still makes all the delegates who attend the meeting breathless, knowing that the whole world recognizes the Soviet Union as one of the two superpowers. Also admit one thing, that is, the military power of the Soviet Union is the strongest in the world.
The military power of the Soviet Union is more famous than the Soviet Union itself. Who made Europe and the United States speak the same voice of the Soviet threat theory? As for the Soviet Union's own media, they have always believed that they are the best in the world, and officers at all levels from Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov and below all think so.
Brezhnev expressed his welcome to the visiting country, his voice was still as calm and gentle, without the pretence of being arrogant. Then he started to take out the manuscript to give a speech. After the speech was finished in five minutes, the other members of the Soviet Central Presidium waited until Brezhnev returned to his seat, and then all sat down. Every move reflected Brezhnev's strength. authority.
"The construction of the security system in Asia is to protect the right wing of socialism and to allow friendly countries to gain the ability to protect themselves. The strong meets the weak, that’s why this meeting was held.” Brezhnev said slowly, “First of all, I want to stress that the Soviet Union has no intention of harming the territorial integrity of any Asian country. On the basis of fairness and openness The door to negotiation has never been closed, and the system we advocate only allows some small countries to protect themselves.”
This statement is not a tough one. In fact, throughout Brezhnev's speeches, he hardly ever said any hard words in words, but the Soviet Union did start a global offensive under his own leadership.
"Any powerful threat to the Soviet Union's allies will inevitably suffer a shameful defeat." Shelov poked the brim of his hat, revealing a true face that had been concealed, "Some countries always regard the restraint of the Soviet Union as a Tolerance. Very dangerous repeated provocation, which is not what a smart person should do."
As for who this country is, Serov's answer is somewhat ambiguous. Different people and different positions can develop rich associations. Vietnamese people must think that he is talking about China, but it does not mean that Thai people think the same way.
This kind of ambiguity is also the best statement. Anyway, someone will naturally interpret the actions of the Soviet Union and take their own seat.
After Brezhnev attended the meeting, the process of the meeting accelerated significantly. Serov had to admit that the aura does exist, but it does not exist in the individual, but depends on the location.
If Brezhnev was not the leader of the Soviet Union, or a dying old man, he would not have paid too much attention. But he is the general secretary of the Soviet Union and the chairman of the Supreme Soviet. Even if he doesn't say anything here, even if he drinks water and listens to other people's discussions, he can still affect other foreign ministers.
On June 9, the long discussions finally came to fruition. The foreign ministers of the Soviet Union, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, the Kurdish Republic, and the eight foreign ministers announced in Moscow that the Moscow Treaty was signed, and Vietnam and Laos simultaneously announced their withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact. The ranks of observer states entered the newly drafted Moscow Treaty.
The Soviet Army and part of the armies of the signatories formed an integrated force including the Navy and Air Force, under the command of the Joint Armed Forces Command. The purpose of the organization is: "In the event of an attack in Asia by any State or group of States against one or more Contracting States, each Contracting State shall exercise the right of individual or collective self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, individually or through Agreement with the other High Contracting Parties to provide immediate assistance to the State or States subject to such attack in all manner it deems necessary, including the use of armed forces”.
Brezhnev decided to transfer ships from the Red Navy to join the integrated force. At the same time, although the treaty was signed in Moscow, the final headquarters chose Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. This was also a decision discussed at the meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium, and two distinct opinions emerged at the meeting. They are headquartered in Moscow and headquartered in Southeast Asian countries.
are respectively based on Kirilenko's proposal to use Moscow as the headquarters, and the proposal represented by Serov to choose Southeast Asia as the headquarters. Serov communicated with Ustinov, Andropov, and Gromyko respectively, and believed that there was no need to compete for the false name of a headquarters, and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty was not familiar with Washington. In what position, Moscow itself is in Europe, and it is not suitable for the headquarters of the Asian security system.
"It is absolutely unnecessary to set up the headquarters in Moscow, and it is even more unnecessary from a military point of view." Defense Minister Ustinov said, "General Political Commissar Serov is right, if the nominal headquarters is located in Moscow, it will only allow the United States and Western Europe. The state thinks we are too cautious, and makes the third world countries think that the Soviet Union is too tightly controlled. There is no benefit…”
Ustinov's words finally made Brezhnev support the Southeast Asian headquarters. Anyway, the right to speak is ultimately determined by the country with the most powerful military power. The general Soviet Union of the Asian Security System is this role, and this will not change.
The news of the establishment of the Ya'an system in Moscow immediately swept the world. Unlike the generally positive reports in the Warsaw Pact countries, the United Kingdom and the United States said that this was an important step for Soviet hegemony, and all countries should unite to exercise restraint. However, Western European countries are not very convinced, the confrontation is just around the corner, and millions of troops from the Warsaw Pact and NATO are waiting. How can Western European countries have the leisure to pay attention to the confrontation thousands of miles away?
The voices condemning the Soviet Union are mainly concentrated in the United States and the Commonwealth of Nations, including Australia and New Zealand. After all, Oceania is the front line of the world facing Southeast Asia, as well as the protests in Malaysia and Singapore. Western European countries only reported twice, and then continued to do other things. In the face of millions of Warsaw Pact troops, they had no time to care about the proposal of another military alliance.
"It's still the old way. It's not allowed to reprint any Chinese reports. That's it." Shelov gave the order in a cold voice.
Naturally, there will be no positive reports in China. By the way, the Soviet Union is criticized as social imperialism. But Serov didn't take it to heart. He had so many plans that he really didn't have time to focus on the Far East.
"General Political Commissar, won't you fight back against China's attack?" The head of the fake propaganda department asked the chairman who was leaving.
"What's the counterattack? Since ancient times? Don't bother, it's better to find a way to bury the nail if you have to fight. History is a bad debt, and each will choose what is beneficial to him. Although the idea since ancient times is shameless, but to do I will do the same, if we can completely crush the strength of the United States, then it is also possible to claim sovereignty over Alaska." Shelov shrugged, diplomacy must be backed by military, the diplomacy of the British Empire is in no way unfavorable, the most profound The reason is because the UK is the No. 1 power. After the UK is not the No. 1 power, all that is left is the ability to stir up shit.
"Let me rest for a few days, the situation in Iran is getting more and more tense, and we should start soon." Serov, who left with a briefcase, did not forget to instruct, "If there is any movement in Iran, call me."
Soviet goals never changed, Europe, Middle East, Far East. Anything will do as long as the Far East is peaceful. At least now, Shelov is in a far better mood than Pahlavi. In the face of this turmoil in Iran, the Carter government is far from the domineering that it had directly interfered with. The delay of the United States is also eroding the confidence of King Pahlavi.
Although the current protest did not directly lead to armed conflict, the scale of the protest has become larger and larger with the delay of time. He knew that it was directed by Khomeini in Paris. He wondered if His Majesty the King regretted it. For a moment, he softened his heart and killed Khomeini, the source of all evil.
Afghanistan has received equipment from three Soviet divisions. Amin, the No. 2 figure in Afghanistan, placed two of the divisions on the western border to prevent the Iranian turmoil from spreading to Afghanistan. He also understood that this was his own enemy, and once it affected Afghanistan It will only expand his serious reactionary forces. (To be continued~^~)
