Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 808: Iraqi strategy
"As long as the People's Party can exert its organizational power, there is the Iraqi Communist Party in the west, the Afghan People's Party in the east, and the Soviet Communist Party in the north, are you afraid that you will not win? All ideals must be based on victory. Without this foundation, all ideals are just illusions. Your indecision can only lead to failure of the revolutionary cause, and like comrades in many countries, you will eventually be sent to the gallows.” Serov looked indifferent, and seemed not to take his own Take the matter of how many people you claim to die to mind.
If someone must die, the General Political Commissar certainly hopes that the hostile forces will die. He wasn't trying to frighten these BJP comrades, once it went on, the Iranian regime banned the BJP, its own communist organization, a few years later and ordered eighteen Soviet diplomats to leave Iran. Seventy Communist Party leaders were arrested for treason, 15,000 supporters were suppressed, and the party was crushed. For the Islamic Republic of Iran's anti-US and anti-Soviet policies, most of the Iranian Communists who refused to submit had to go into exile.
What good is exile, the Soviet Union has such a great geographical advantage, and it can fully support the Iranian People's Party to fight a civil war. The Iranian People's Party is not without the strength of a war. The worst result is that the plan to provoke the India-Pakistan war will be postponed first, and Iraq and Afghanistan will first be instigated to attack Iran from east to west. Anyway, the political situation in Iran is out of control, and in a state of scattered sand, It's entirely up to Serov to rub it, as long as those religious leaders can't unite, there's nothing to fear in this country.
"It's really time to decide our fate, Chairman Serov, will the Soviet Union not abandon us?" After a brief discussion, an Iranian People's Party cadre asked. It is not uncommon for the Soviet Union to end up cowardly. The Iranian People's Party had personally experienced it once. After the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, the northern part of Iran was quickly pacified by the Pahlavi. It took a long time for the Iranian People's Party to recover. If the White Revolution had not caused the bankruptcy of the countryside and the emergence of the working class, the Iranian People's Party might have been Can't recover.
"It's completely different from 20 years ago. The Soviet Union and the United States no longer have a big gap in national strength, and we are closer!" Shelov said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? With the support of three million working class people, there are massive The bankrupt peasants are waiting for you to change your fate and take the Iranian people’s own wealth into your own hands, and at worst, support from Iraq, Afghanistan, and our Soviet Union, how can you lose with so many conditions?”
"We understand, maybe this time we can make Iran change." In the end, these Persians chose to believe in the Soviet Union once, just as the other party said, more than 20 years later, the world has changed. Now there is not just one badly damaged Soviet Union, but many socialist countries.
"You won't be disappointed, the Soviet Union's today is your tomorrow." Serov laughed loudly. For many of the Soviet Union's neighbors, the United States and Western Europe are too far away for them to see. But these countries know more about the situation of the Soviet Union. In fact, there is still a gap between Eastern Europe and Western Europe, the Soviet Union and the United States, but for these third world countries, the current state of the Soviet Union is enough to make them envious. This is the case in Afghanistan, and so is Iran.
Of course, it is Iraq, which is neighbors, that touches Iranian pro-socialists the most. It also uses the export of oil as the main income, and at the same time uses the oil income to develop the industry, but it is obvious that the life of Iraq is much stronger than that of Iran. Compared with Iran, Iraq's most advantageous place is fairness, and its social welfare system is also much stronger than Iran's.
The most important thing is that Iraq's income is very average, whatever it is. Behind every high-rise building in Iran are several times the number of poor people. I can't say that Pahlavi has 5 billion, I have 50 yuan, and the average of the two is 2.5 billion per person, right? The lives of ordinary people are obviously much more difficult for Iranians.
It would be fine if the conditions in Iraq were much better than those in Iran, but that’s not the case at all. Although Iran is a plateau country, its various minerals and its own land far exceed Iraq’s. Iraq has a large part of the desert area. Exist, only the two river basins are suitable for life. Their own conditions are better than the other party, but they are not as good as the other party, which is very unreasonable.
Shelov naturally didn’t know the idea of the Iranians, and he didn’t expect Iraqis to become the idols of the Iranians at all. This is a mistake made by historical habitual thinking. Sometimes he even forgets that Iraq in this time and space. It is already a socialist country, and it has a certain influence in the Middle East.
The meeting between him and the Iranian People's Party was very short. After all, the meeting between the two sides at this time is relatively sensitive. Iran has always been wary of the Soviet Union, and this vigilance is very reasonable. If there is a chance to profit from it, why not step in? Do you really think the Soviet Union can only play with internationalism? He Shelov is an expert in playing social imperialism.
While President Carter was ready to abandon Pahlavi to save Iran, Serov also made it clear that he was ready to see if the United States could intervene across the ocean again. Both the Soviet Union and the United States have found their own proxies, ready to show off in Iran.
Three days after the meeting with the Iranian People's Party in Baku, the Iranian People's Party suddenly launched a national general strike because of the death of a religious leader, and the strike swept the country from Mashhad. The situation in Iran has entered a new stage of confrontation between the military and police and large trade unions. On the 16th, the king announced a limited amnesty under pressure and released a group of political prisoners. Reorganized the Queen's Baath Party as the New Socialist Party.
When the United States was planning an action to get the Pahlavi King to get out, Serov, who returned to Moscow, also began to draw up plans to make preparations to make Iran discolored, and submitted it to the meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium.
"From the current situation, we can be sure that Iran's anti-Americanism is the mainstream public opinion, and even the Americans dare not intervene, so in a sense, pulling out the Persian Gulf police in the U.S. dual-pillar strategy is a matter of It is very feasible." At the meeting of the Central Presidium, Serov, who held the plan, gave a generous speech, telling the old guys that he was still working and that this wave of strategic offensive was not over yet.
As for why Iran is anti-American, the reason is very simple. In fact, the three countries of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union oppressed Iran when they were in Iran. The Soviet army built satellite states in Azerbaijan and Kurdistan, and supported the Iranian People’s Party to make troubles and rains internally. The United Kingdom built an oil company in the south and made a fortune. Americans are a little more civilized. They are stationed in the capital, and they buy and sell, but they also like to hold dances in American clubs and enjoy Persian beauties.
From a national point of view, the Soviet Union should be the most feared, followed by the United Kingdom, and finally the United States. But don't forget that a country is made up of people. From the perspective of ordinary people, this is completely the opposite. The Soviet Union's oppression of Iran is at the national level, and the British plunder of Iran is at the economic level. Both are too far from ordinary people. But the style of the United States that can't control its crotch everywhere is the biggest stimulus for ordinary people, not to mention the strong religious atmosphere in Iran.
If the Iranians had a knife in their hands, one person in a hundred would probably slash the Soviets for the humiliation of the country. There are ten people who were taken away by the British and cut down on the British because of their money, but no one can stand the beautiful girls in their own country being used as toilets by foreigners. If there is a chance, one hundred Iranians will choose to cut down the Americans.
In the country of peace, the Americans used two stinky money to make humanoid self-propelled guns everywhere, and quickly replaced the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union as the number one Iranians wanted to kill most, not to mention that the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom retreated one after another. People are still relying on it.
"Talk about the specific plan, Yura!" The old Brezhnev said slowly, as if he had some interest in the KGB's big plan this time. If he could not keep his position, he just wanted to make the Soviet Union he led more powerful and remembered by history.
"The collapse of the Iranian order may have an impact on neighboring countries. After all, Iran's religious leaders want to establish a theocratic government, which is obviously unfavorable to us, and this is why I want to intervene. Besides, the situation in Afghanistan is also unstable, and it is impossible to Let Iran fall into the hands of religious elements. Of course, a pro-Western political party is not an option I consider. Take this opportunity to solve the problems of Afghanistan and Iran together." Shelov said that we want to play big, "Nominal By investing our main force in Iran, we are actually buying time for Amin to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan. Let everyone’s eyes focus on Iran, use Afghanistan and Iraq as bases, and kill religious elements and pro-Western political parties.”
"But now the Pahlavi Dynasty still has 700,000 troops, which is second to none in the Middle East." Kirilenko shook his head and said, "You want to support Amin in killing the separatist forces in Afghanistan while you are focusing on Iran. Isn't it a little adventurous?"
"The army of 700,000 is made up of one individual. Germany lost the First World War because of the Kiel sailor's uprising. The wealthy class also needs to choose people from the people to carry guns to protect them. Now, in terms of the intensity of opposition demonstrations, 700,000 In the army composed of ordinary people, no one knows how many people are willing to protect the government." Shelov said meaningfully, "And Pahlavi may be in a hurry now!"
Combine the problems of Iran and Afghanistan and solve the problems of both countries at the same time. The follow-up plan can fully support the new Iranian government's annexation of Bahrain as a tool to establish new authority for the new government. The current turmoil in Iran also helps to cover the expansion of the Afghan army. Expanding the army in the name of religious threats will make Pakistan less vigilant. Also helpful for follow-up planning. (To be continued~^~)
