Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 838: Great nations of chicken thieves
"When do you leave?" Shelov looked at the time on his wrist and asked, "As long as you buy me a month, the resistance of the regular Pakistani army will disappear, and guerrilla warfare will give the Indians a headache."
"I will go to China tomorrow. After all, Alexander Haig has gone, and I must go too. Gromyko is organizing the Asian Security System Conference in Jakarta. Now only I can take the place of the foreign minister." Andropo The husband also felt the great responsibility and sighed, "We and China will never be on the same rhythm, what can you do?"
"I have nothing to do, but I'm just telling the truth. Comrade Ustinov is preparing for the Mongolian army. As long as China stays out of the way, the Mongolian army's preparations can be terminated. If not, the troops withdrawn from the West on August 1st may have some Some of them will be stationed in Mongolia." Shelov took off his gloves and put them in his pockets, "It's not ten years ago, cohesion is completely different, I hope China will make a correct judgment. Because of the empty promises from the United States, Going against the traditional allies is not good, give me a few more years to get Yugoslavia, and we will be able to vacate hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Northeastern India is a powder keg. In that small area, there are nearly 200 million Indians. If I remember correctly, there was a rumor back then that the Chinese said that once the Soviet Union attacked China, they would use a huge population to kill them. Siberia is submerged, and we have never been prepared to attack China. Let’s not talk about it. China occupies the northeastern part of India and has a population of only 10 million. On the other side of the border, there are 200 million people in India and Bangladesh. If China really has a population of 10 million. Courage to print, it is definitely not India that is submerged, China will just wait for an extra 200 million people to eat." Serov found that the population can really scare people.
There is a saying that says, when you have nothing, you still have life. After this war is over, the world's most populous country will be replaced. India's population will surpass China's and become the most populous country in the world. Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing. The population in South Asia will explode even more, but this population bomb will not blow up the Soviet Union, and the General Political Commissar does not care.
At the same time, the Soviet Union is not a country of immigration, and it is countries like the United Kingdom and the United States that should be worried. Immigrants without quality are not a benefit, but a big drag. Once India kills Pakistan, India's domestic conflicts will become more acute. It is impossible to predict the future, at least the history of South Asia is completely different.
"Indira Gandhi is really impressive this time. He refused mediation from all countries, and even Reagan threatened to teach India a lesson. This iron lady can't stand it." Andropov shook his head in surprise and said, this time India's determination, let alone other countries' disbelief, also exceeded the Soviet Union's expectations.
"Once a woman is a leader, it is really shocking. Fortunately, Mrs Thatcher is not the president of the United States, and the national strength of the United Kingdom is far less than ours. Otherwise, it may be more troublesome than Reagan." Sheloff is fortunately so. With an expression on his face, "We, the Soviet Union, will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is dry."
Andropov smiled silently, as if mocking the integrity of the General Political Commissar. This sentence was ridiculed by others to make fun of Prime Minister Churchill. It has been repeatedly mentioned for decades, and even India itself felt embarrassed. Even if the last Indian dies, the British Empire will not yield, but this sentence is frequently picked up by Serov.
In fact, the timing was just right in 1981. At present, Pakistan is under military control by the military government. It is not that the military government lacks the ability, nor that the military government is completely bad. The biggest weakness of the military government is its lack of legitimacy. Once it encounters a major change, such as the failure of a war. If the military government cannot even protect the country, it will be overthrown almost immediately. The example of Greece from a few years ago is still vivid.
How long the Pakistani military government can last, Serov is not very optimistic. If the war fails and the Pakistanis don't know the whole thing, India's annexation of Pakistan is doomed.
After chatting for a while, Serov asked Andropov to pay attention to safety, and expressed his willingness to wait for good news in Moscow.
From the suspension to the termination of the Western August 1st military exercise, the troops of the Warsaw Pact have returned home one after another. All 850,000 troops returned to their housing sites and were ready for battle. At the same time, the Soviet Union issued a note, hoping that European countries would work with the Soviet Union to maintain world peace.
The meaning of the Soviet Union is to threaten Western Europe through military means, so that Western European countries do not take a stand on the issue of India.
The United States responded by holding NATO military exercises to face the impact of the Soviet-Western August 1st exercise.
Puff! Serov almost spit out the water he just drank on the newspaper. Is the focus now still on Western Bayi? Is it not a three-way war between India, Pakistan and Afghanistan in South Asia? Isn't it the frequent appeals of the Pakistani military government?
Why are NATO countries thinking about the Western August 1 issue at this time? and? Serov narrowed his eyes. This trick is very familiar. If I remember correctly, he has used it himself. Pretending to be very busy, he was restrained by his opponent. Although he really wanted to help his allies, he really couldn't help it.
That’s right, it was two years ago when China pressed Vietnam to the ground and rubbed it, the Soviet Union was like this. They kept giving the United States eye drops in Iran and avoided the embarrassment of facing China.
follow me? Do you pay royalties? Western Europe is definitely not prepared to shed blood and sacrifice for the Americans. Anyway, the Soviet Union has nothing to do with Western Europeans. As for other directions, that is the obligation of the Americans and has nothing to do with our old Europe.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said that the free world will never fear confrontation with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union should be made clear right away that NATO is by no means a hoax. And announced the start of NATO exercises in mid-July.
The Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries responded one after another, saying that the free world will never be afraid of the threat of the Soviet Union, and must immediately respond to the Soviet Union's Western August 1st Exercise.
The Soviet Union also responded tit-for-tat, saying that the Western August 1st exercise was only suspended, and the second phase also started in mid-July. The Soviet armed forces were determined and capable of crushing any threats and burying the enemy with steel and fire.
"Mrs Thatcher chose an opponent she could never defeat. Britain is just an island on the edge of the world. How can she fight against the most powerful country in the world!"
"The Soviet Union is nothing but a coalition of policemen, soldiers and liars, built on lies, and the free world will never allow us to be enslaved." Mrs Thatcher asserted with a strong attitude, which relieved Reagan of the current An embarrassing scene, and soon Reagan and Margaret Thatcher sang together, expressing that they would teach the Soviet Union a lesson in Europe.
But why teach the Soviet Union a lesson in Europe instead of attacking the weaker India? Because once India is educated it's a real war, and in Europe against the Soviet Union, it's just an exercise that looks a lot like war. The latter only needs to play, while the former needs dead people. In case the Soviet Union sells kidneys to India, the United Kingdom and the United States will fall into an even bigger quagmire.
This can prove that the global strategic competition for the Soviet Union planned by Brezhnev is a correct choice. Confronting Europe and NATO with military force, and conquering cities in other directions through military and economic assistance. As long as the world's energy and mineral bases are controlled, the industrial heroes of Western European countries can be rendered useless.
If Brezhnev lived to be 100 years old and had more decades in power, he might have been able to withstand the apricots and cut sausages bit by bit. Unfortunately, the willpower of the great leader is not very good. If you can't control your body, you can't do all the maintenance work required by the doctor, and any plan is useless.
Moreover, Brezhnev had a policy both externally and internally, and he cut off Sherepin, who should have been very old in age, within the Soviet Union, causing great losses within the Soviet Union. He does a hundred things very well, and letting the old man control the Soviet Union alone can wipe out all his benefits.
The Warsaw Pact and NATO have opened up to accuse each other, and it is obvious that they will confront each other once in Europe. The center of the world media returned from the India-Pakistan war to the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States. Soon, Reagan visited France and once again threw out the evil empire argument, pointing out that the existence of the Soviet Union was the root of all world problems.
These remarks caused great dissatisfaction in the Soviet Union, and even Brezhnev believed that Reagan was not a qualified leader, and there was no benefit other than exacerbating the emergency situation with his words.
At this time, Andropov returned from China and returned to the Kremlin to report on the visit.
"China did not promise us, nor did the United States. But before I came back, I heard a statement that China was transferring troops from the northern military region to support Pakistan. But I don't know if this statement is true or false. Yes." Andropov said somewhat uncertainly, if it is true, this is very bad for the Soviet Union.
"No, China is just pretending that it wants assistance. It will take at least a month to transfer troops from the northern military region to the southwest region. Pakistan is now under attack from the north and the south, and it is very likely that it will not survive for a month." Shelov shook his head and said, " And the deployment of troops from the north itself is to reduce the pressure on us, and China is just acting out of morality.”
The world's major powers are more than a chicken thief, and they all pretend that I am very busy, otherwise they will definitely get involved, but they will not be soft.
The confrontation between the United Kingdom and the United States in Europe and the Soviet Union is to avoid getting into it, and China's consideration is the same.
