Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 836: powerless superpower
Who else could it be? In addition to the Soviet General Political Commissar of State Security, there is a second suspect. But thinking about it, Amin has no evidence. Besides, this is a good thing for Afghanistan, why did he say it? As the letter said, this is the only chance to change the borders of the Duran Line. Whether the main ethnic group in Afghanistan can live in one country depends on this time.
From his heart, Amin has already made a choice. If he can regain his homeland and become a country that is completely pro-Soviet, why not? Now, in the entire Eurasian continent, how many countries are not allies of the Soviet Union? Since they are all, why did Amin choose to be neutral? Even if he once studied at Columbia University.
But when to go to war to get the most benefit is something that must be considered. After thinking for a long time, Amin picked up the phone and said, "Hold a meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, let's talk about the military construction of the country." Amin is also the Minister of Defense, and is fully qualified to call Afghan generals to hold a military meeting.
"From the attitude of Indira Gandhi, this time India is going to war with all the strength of the whole country. India's power has an overwhelming advantage in the face of Pakistan. Once India wins, India will be the dominant player in South Asia. So not all All the good things were swallowed by India!" After flicking the cigarette ash, Serov carried a wisp of white flue, "How can we control India? Even if we provoke a north-south attack in Afghanistan, we may not be sure how much we can take advantage of."
"It's no problem, our Comrade Andropov, he has a force called the Balochistan Liberation Army, right? Comrade Andropov?" Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov looked at An Dropov, nodding to himself, said, "The Balochistan region is either independent or incorporated into Afghanistan."
"It is better to merge into Afghanistan and make Afghanistan a federal state, or call it the Afghan Socialist Union, so that we can penetrate more easily, and the Afghans will not dare to disrespect us." Serov feels that independence is not good.
Because the Balochistan region and the local ethnic groups are cross-border ethnic groups, it is also a trouble for Iran and Pakistan. In history, after the Soviet Union attacked Afghanistan, in the face of harassment from Iran and Pakistan, they thought of forming the Balochistan Liberation Army, while holding back the energy of Iran and Pakistan. The results are also very significant, and it has not left these two countries scratching their heads.
But the problem is that now Iran is pro-Soviet. In this case, you should be careful if you are using the Balochistan Liberation Army. Go ahead and don't make multiple-choice questions. Independence is not suitable. It is a win-win solution to take a step back and consider a federal state. Afghanistan is certainly satisfied, but who is not satisfied with the expansion of its territory? The Soviet Union was also satisfied and could continue to intervene in Afghanistan.
"Yes, the Central Liaison Department is indeed supporting the independence of Balochistan. You are very keen. It seems that the General Political Commissar and the Minister of Defense are ready to use this opportunity to remove Pakistan, a pro-American country." Andropov is like When he is laughing, he also has the demeanor of a scholar. Ordinary people may be deceived, but Serov knows that this scholar is very ruthless.
"Now there are the People's Liberation Army in India, Afghanistan and Balochistan. I want Pakistan to disappear forever. Anyway, there are not a few people in India who think Pakistan is a separatist organization." Shelov hummed and smiled, "According to my statistics, once Indira Gandhi The annexation of Pakistan will take one third of India’s peacekeepers. Let them solve this problem by themselves.”
Indira Gandhi had no choice at all because India had annexed Bangladesh earlier and that was a decisive step. It is like a medicine divided into courses. After the first course of treatment, the subsequent courses of treatment will also be taken. After India annexed Bangladesh, the proportion of Hinduism and peace religion in the country has changed. In the original Pakistan, Bangladeshis accounted for nearly 60% of the population. India has already swallowed the majority of Pakistan's population, and no longer cares about the remaining 40% of Pakistanis, not to mention that West Pakistan has far more land than East Pakistan.
The Indus River runs through Pakistan and is the birthplace of many civilizations in India. In fact, if this place is not annexed, many of India's history will face embarrassment, because many relics are in Pakistan.
Listening to the discussions of many committee members, Brezhnev, who had been silent, said tiredly, "Tell Indira Gandhi, let her not worry about the intimidation of the United States, the Soviet Union will not allow imperialism to invade a sovereign country. As for China The problem?"
"The Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance has expired, and China has not chosen to extend it. Maybe we should remind China that now the Soviet Union and China are no longer allies!" Defense Minister Ustinov wiped his glasses and said silently, " Our patience is limited, and considering the overall situation does not mean indulgence.”
"China thinks it can break away from the Soviet Union, that's fine, but if we fight against us with the United States, we're not easy to mess with!" Andropov also expressed his attitude.
Brezhnev nodded silently, maybe he should solve this problem, time is running out. For the rest of the time, as the great leader of the Soviet Union, General Secretary and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, he decided to try hard once. This is the last time, if you still can't get a response, it will be handed over to someone in the future.
"Comrade Gromyko, please work hard and go to Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, to hold a ministerial-level meeting on the Asian security system, and invite the foreign ministers of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Afghanistan, and Kurdish foreign ministers to participate." Brezhnev concluded. After thinking for a while, he spoke slowly.
"No problem, India and Pakistan, as major powers in South Asia, we should express our concern." Foreign Minister Gromyko nodded, accepting Brezhnev's mission.
"Let the Communist Youth League Pravda write an article to remind the Chinese comrades that the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance has expired, and the wording should be soft. As long as the Chinese comrades remember the close relationship in the 1950s, the Soviet Union will of course sign the treaty at any time. !" Brezhnev looked at Suslov's expression and said, and the latter nodded silently, indicating that he understood.
"At the end of the year, I will go back to Tashkent to give a speech on the China issue. It is my last effort to see the comradeship between the two sides in the 1950s." Brezhnev watched, Andropov, Serov and Ustinov, the real-power cadres who have always held a tough stance, thought to themselves, if I can't solve this problem, will the Soviet Union and China go to war in the future? That's bad news, not worth it at all.
The news of the war between India and Pakistan, the Soviet Union's wording is more severe than the next, saying that the current war is the relationship between India and Pakistan, but if other countries get involved, the danger of turning into a world war cannot be completely ruled out.
The Komsomolskaya Pravda pointed out that imperialist countries cannot be ruled out, wanting to replicate the Korean War and the Vietnam War again, thinking that they are the police of the world and interfering with other sovereign countries. India has an army of 1.5 million and the support of the Soviet Union. If some countries think their population is too large and their economy is too good and want to find something to do, the Soviet Union will never stand idly by.
The second message, according to the order of the Kremlin, the Western August 1st exercise is temporarily suspended. This report and the first report together are the most obvious threat. You must know that this is the front-line army of the 850,000 Warsaw Pact. If Western European countries stand with the United States at this time, will these troops kill them? Coming to Western Europe?
In the face of the threat signal sent by the Soviet Union, the proud country will never compromise. Before all countries reacted, French President Mitterrand publicly assured the French people, "France's nuclear weapons can completely guarantee that the country will not be harmed, even if a Warsaw Pact soldier enters the French border, it will be attacked by France without hesitation. strike."
The French cheered enthusiastically. This is the attitude that France should have. What about the Soviet Union? No one can make the French surrender. The United States can't do it, and of course the Soviet Union can't either.
But this statement is completely different in the eyes of different countries. What the French mean is that they only protect their own country, and it does not mean that when the Warsaw Pact attacks the Federal Republic of Germany, France will also send troops to help. Everyone knows that the relationship between France and NATO is like France holding NATO hostage. Whether or not they can do anything at that time depends entirely on the mood of the French.
"The Indians have made great progress, but the Pakistanis still can't stop the Indians." Shelov looked at the situation on the battlefield and said to Defense Minister Ustinov, "You say that in the age of cold weapons, who sees who bullies the country? In modern times, it is not too bad. On the contrary, those pacifists who were very good at fighting in ancient times, how can they be unable to support the wall one by one in modern times?”
There is also news that U.S. imperialism has dispatched the navy again, yes, the navy again. Well, the Americans think of dispatching the navy as soon as something happens, but this time Indiragan ignored it and let the Indian army attack under the military threat of the United States.
This situation reminded the Soviet leadership of the Sino-Vietnamese War the year before last. The Soviet Union also kept preventing China from going to war, but in the end there was no way to do it. The Soviet Union at that time was just as powerless as the United States today.
Facts have proved that once there are other major powers willing to go out, even the United States and the Soviet Union are very powerless in dealing with this kind of thing. France has disgusted the United States in NATO for so many years, and the United States has nothing good to do with France. The Soviet Union could not do the same with China. "Retribution, I still remember how the Americans taunted us during the Sino-Vietnamese War!" Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov said, "Now it's the Americans' turn."
