British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1345: slapstick

"Commander of the Rhine Army, do you know him?" Alan Wilson grabbed his wife's little hand and fiddled with it, asking if it was a connection with the Mountbatten family.

"His son, Little Sterfield is in the Swire Group." Pamela Mountbatten didn't hesitate at all, as if all these intricate connections were in her mind, "What do you want me to do?"

"Just tell him that we have no intention of provoking the Soviet Union. It's gone." Alan Wilson muttered with a tired face, "I don't know them yet. When I encounter a weak country, I can't wait to go to war the next day. It's a ladder to make achievements. Really When it comes to Soviet heavy equipment, the army is far more dovish than a member of the House of Commons who speaks loudly."

The NATO army would not have the guts to confront the Soviet Union, but the military would not only have the courage but also a lot of courage to ask for military expenses from the Soviet Union.

"We in the UK really depend on you." Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes. Her husband didn't seem to think highly of anyone, anyway, she probably didn't expect it for a while.

It's a pity that Alan Wilson didn't hear any sarcasm, but felt that it was right, puffing out his chest like the poorest patriot in the East End of London.

"Actually, as long as the Americans support it, this exercise is quite optimistic." Pamela Mountbatten expressed optimism, knowing the importance of the United States on European issues.

"Are we confronting the Soviet Union at sea?" Allen Wilson asked with his neck tilted. "If not, what is the use of the United States? Standing together is just one more corpse."

Don't show off the Patton Kai on active duty in the United States. In his eyes, the U.S. Army is not as reliable as the British Army. As for the reliable British Army, the Rhine Army can support it for three days anyway, and the garrison can also play a supporting role. The key is whether the Federal Republic of Germany can do it.

Alan Wilson hopes that the German army will do it. This time the military exercise is mainly to see if the German army can play the role of cannon fodder... er, the mainstay.

As for the scale of NATO's military exercises, they cannot be compared with the Warsaw Pact. Although he once led a large-scale military exercise in the Arab world a few years ago, if it satisfies many visual animals in Europe, then It is really provoking the Warsaw Pact at this juncture. It is considered a big move to mobilize 100,000 people for NATO's military exercises.

In the next two days, the British Ministry of Defense often received inquiries from troops in West Berlin. This is understandable. The area in West Berlin was surrounded by the enemy, and there was a strategic misjudgment. It really happened in the blink of an eye. Makins appeased the local British army with normal military exercises, and then complained like Alan Wilson, "I am very suspicious now, and it will really fight NATO's combat effectiveness."

"Isn't it better than American soldiers who only know how to go to the woods with female soldiers?" Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "It's also normal. There is no risk of bullying the third world. Who wants the real doomsday to come? The first to die is not the frontline Troops? We did not hide our intentions, and we also hope that the Soviet Union will not misjudge."

Chairman Lubyanka's office in Moscow, when he heard a knock on the door, Andropov said please come in, and then a major officer in military uniform walked in, "Chairman."

"Alekseev, are you back from Warsaw?" Andropov nodded and said, "Sit down, I have something to report."

"Looking at the current situation, pressure may not be effective. We must simply deal with the upper echelons of Poland, otherwise they don't know how powerful they are. I don't quite understand why they haven't done it for so long. The country shouldn't be ignorant of Poland's Importance, the place where the Warsaw Pact was signed, and it would be an insult to the Soviet Union if Poland turned away from scientific socialism."

"The Kremlin should try not to use military means, and hope that the Poles can understand our concern. By the way, your mother, Comrade Fortseva, thinks so too." Andropov smiled and said , "Of course this may also have something to do with your employment in the Warsaw embassy."

"My mother's opinion may not be right." Alekseev couldn't help muttering softly when he heard the words, "From my point of view on the Poles, they may not understand our kindness. Those people from the Polish government-in-exile They should all be killed, I can clearly feel that they still have influence, that they are an unstable factor in Poland, and they may have hooked up with the Americans long ago."

As expected of an excellent student, if Alan Wilson were here, he would definitely praise this young man who had met more than just once, and of course he would charge US dollars. Or did he personally plan it with the Americans, the significance of Poland to the Warsaw Pact, as far as the Soviets know? Can't see the free world as the opponent?

He still thinks that it would be better for the Soviet Union to attack Poland hard, and the theory of rights and sovereignty should emerge, otherwise a certain big country may not be able to be a rebel. Please forgive me for being so direct, but in fact, this is the case in the eyes of the United States. I gave you a hand, otherwise you would have been cleaned up by the Soviet Union.

The emergence of the theory of limited sovereignty can also allow the free world to criticize the Soviet Union. Although the European countries where the US military is stationed have no sovereignty, the free world can pretend to have such a mechanism. Electoral countries naturally have such a mechanism. People who don’t like it can Find a way to get him out of power in the form of a scandal, and the more serious ones can be assassinated.

Unlike countries under the Soviet system, either they just work as followers with peace of mind, or they just fight against the Soviet Union. This has always been a problem of the Soviet bloc. Not to mention anything else, Yugoslavia, which has always listened to the tune but not propaganda, and Romania, which has been bickering with the Soviet Union, have made the Soviet Union very embarrassed, let alone a certain big country.

If Poland looks at a few examples and thinks that you can do what you want, it will completely destroy the geopolitical structure of the Soviet Union.

In terms of importance, we must start with Poland. Poland is far more important than Czechoslovakia, and it cannot be compared in terms of land area or population.

If something can be done in Poland, no matter what the final result is, Moscow can be in a hurry. This is a profitable business. And this is more worthwhile than the United States, which was disgraced by the North Vietnamese spring offensive.

This problem is being discussed in the Kremlin at this time. It has to be said that before Brezhnev's stroke, he was worthy of the evaluation of the prime of life, not as sluggish as he was later.

But at this time, as the No. 1 figure in the Soviet Union, his iconic thick eyebrows were tightly condensed together, and a trace of impatience flashed across his face, indicating that the most powerful figure in the Soviet Union was in a bad mood. When he was in Michas, he didn't hesitate so much.

"The beginning of economic reforms has led to all this happening now." Suslov couldn't continue to watch Brezhnev remain silent, and said, "The restoration of the Polish bourgeoisie must be terminated immediately. Things that go against the overall interests of Poland cannot be allowed to happen. We are still soft on those who were in the Polish government-in-exile. We did not expect that they have maintained their influence and their existence has led to the instability of Poland."

In fact, at that time, the Soviet Union dealt with government personnel in exile who returned to Poland, but it was impossible to do anything without leaving traces.

With Khrushchev's coming to power, the social environment became looser, and these members of the government-in-exile who returned to Poland began to play their true qualities as five people and six people.

Although these people are not as many as when they first came back, they have a halo, and the Polish government is not good at doing anything to these people.

"Comrade Kosygin's reforms are worthy of recognition." At this time, Brezhnev was not as conservative as he was in the 1970s, and he was still willing to say a few words for Kosygin's reforms. "Poland's problems, of course, are To solve it, this year’s problem will definitely not become next year’s problem, but it’s not the best time to wait for an opportunity.”

"Opportunity?" Suslov frowned. "Can the opportunity be obtained by doing nothing? We have to solve the problem, not avoid it."

"Of course it is not to evade the problem. As for Lubyanka, Comrade Andropov has received intelligence from the British side. Regarding the recent situation in France, the British intelligence department has come up with a pessimistic argument. They have discovered Trotsky in France. Trotskyist activities ~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course we are not the same kind of people as the Trotskyists, but the Americans and the British don't see it that way. They see it as a threat. This thing can be manipulated."

Brezhnev said slowly in a normal tone, "When Britain and the United States are both attracted by France, we are making detailed plans to solve the problem and turn it into a fait accompli when the enemy cannot react. , that’s it.”

Facing Suslov's tough attitude, Brezhnev still showed his mature and prudent side. Although it is very happy to start military operations directly, how to act is also a problem.

Once the action starts, the Soviet Union will definitely be accused by other countries. As the number one figure in the Soviet Union, he must prepare for such accusations. Other countries will accuse him of Brezhnev, not the gray cardinal in front of him.

"And on the Vietnam issue, we still have to support Vietnam's spring offensive. Give more weapons, so that the Americans will suffer more losses, and draw the attention of the United States." Brezhnev saw that Suslov had some Shaken, he said in an unquestionable tone, "We must be resolute in our actions, but we must consider the details."

In this spring offensive, General Westmoreland did not hesitate to push the South Korean army to the front line, and then began to rescue the besieged US military bases in various places. The huge US helicopter group played an important role in the sky over South Vietnam. He believed that this time A large number of casualties will completely lose the combat effectiveness of the North Vietnamese army.

Pushing the South Korean army up, in a sense, is also the role of attracting the main force of North Vietnam. General Westmoreland discussed this issue with some generals of the Korean War. The army of a certain big country likes to break through from the South Korean position. In this case, the United States It is also possible to use South Korean troops as bait to attract the appearance of North Vietnamese troops.
