It is impossible for Marshal Sokolov to let Marshal Sokolov take his pulse, and it is more accurate to say that he cannot let anyone grasp what he thinks in any case, unless it is himself, because he is Mikhail Go~Er~Ba~Cho~, a person who stands in the center of the stage at the core of the Soviet Union and is about to climb to the pinnacle of the highest power in the Soviet Union, in this case, how can he let people grasp the logic of his own thinking

So after confirming that Chernenko's condition was aggravated and the time of survival could only be calculated in days, he, the most obscure "Mr. Smile" in the Soviet political ~~~ governance ~~~ bureau, finally began to act, and after a series of lightning-fast combination punches, he firmly controlled the power of medical care, education, culture, civilian industry and diplomacy;

At the same time, Chebrikov, the new chairman of the KGB, also chose to support him after lingering for a long time, so on the road to the top of the Soviet Union, only the "political ~~ imbecile child" called the Ministry of Defense was stuck there, for this reason, Go~Er~Ba~Cho~Fu had long wanted to kick this stinky and hard roadblock away;

It's just that this stone is too big, and it is really hard enough, especially in a self-contained closed environment, almost the wind cannot blow, the rain cannot penetrate, and if it is not properly disposed of, it will be counterproductive, which is not uncommon in the history of the Soviet Union, therefore, Go~Er~Ba~Joe~Fu did not act rashly against the army, but like a hibernating poisonous snake, he gathered his terrifying fangs, hid in the corner and waited quietly.

After a long wait, he finally seized a once-in-a-lifetime favorable opportunity when Marshal Sokolov and the Soviet Ministry of Defense under his leadership issued a military order to intervene in the political situation in Vietnam without any permission.

This made Go~Er~Ba~Choi~v finally find the crack that would penetrate deep into the army, so he didn't think about it, and made a decisive move, first promoting the only follower in the army, Major General Kurochkin of the Soviet Territorial Defense Force, to lieutenant general, and appointing him as the commander of the Soviet Airborne Forces, completely grasping this Soviet combat unit with the fastest response;

Immediately after that, relying on the KGB led by Chebrikov, he forced the Soviet Navy Marshal Gorshkov to retire and replace him with Chernavin, who was similar to his own political ~~~ governance philosophy, and stabilized the navy

"What a bunch of idiots who only think about war in their heads!"

Ge~Er~Ba~Joe~Fu had irrepressible joy on his face, looking at the chess on the large desk, recalling the grand chess game that he had fought hard for many days, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, and because of this, he was even more disdainful and mocking of the opponent's stupidity and self-indulgence:

"If I had known that Sokolov was such a stupid person, I wouldn't have played such a complicated chess game, maybe it would have been simpler and more direct!"

Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu said to himself while picking up a white chess piece with great interest and walked forward, as if simulating the simple and direct new chess game he said in his mouth, and when the white chess piece landed on the ground, the whole chess game did change.

Originally, the white side was in the camp step by step, and the number of roads besieged by Xiaoyi suddenly became a fierce attack, and the urgency was extraordinary, and the black side, which was already struggling to support for a while, suddenly became in danger, and perhaps it would completely collapse in the next step, Ge ~ Er ~ Ba ~ Qiao ~ Fu clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the chessboard he arranged with his own hands with a meaningful smile,

This is the habit he developed after entering politics, cultivating self-cultivation through chess, cultivating patience through chess, and exercising strategy through chess games, especially after entering the Kremlin, he likes to stare more and more at the chessboard under his own cloth, because he finds that through the black and white chessboard between these square inches, he is no longer peeking at the small pattern of someone or something, but the general direction of the whole country and the whole nation

"Knock~~Knock~~Knock~~~"

Just when Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu was intoxicated with the wonderful chess game, the door of the office was knocked gently, and Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu, who was disturbed from meditating, couldn't help frowning twice, but still patiently said to the door:

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the office was pushed open, and a young man with a small figure but a sturdy figure walked in, only to see that his eyebrows were a little heroic, his blue eyes were like the level of Lake Baikal was extraordinary, and his fair face was serious and serious, like a thin layer of frost, covering all his thoughts without a trace, Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu saw the visitor, and the impatience after being disturbed before was instantly replaced by a smile of appreciation:

"Come and sit down and talk, my dear Bu Jingtong ~~~ Chi!"

It was none other than Major Bugin, who served as the adjutant of Major General Kurochkin in Iraq last year, and now on the recommendation of the old governor Kurochkin, he has become the confidential secretary of the new star of Soviet politics Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu, and because of this, Bujing is more cautious, but it is precisely because of this rigorous and pragmatic style that he has won the trust and favor of Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu, and in less than a year, he has become the most trusted person around Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu.

At this moment, Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~, who was in a good mood, beckoned him to sit down, but Bujing was not bold enough to accept it, but handed over the memorandum in his hand respectfully with a rigorous expression as always:

"Sir, this is a memo of protest just sent by China an hour ago, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to consult you on how to deal with it!"

Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu looked at Bujing approvingly, he liked Bujing's self-aware and rigorous attitude, so he nodded and took the memo, but he didn't open it, just threw it on the desk casually, and then leaned back, leaned on the comfortable office chair very comfortably, and said with a smile:

"Later, you can tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the same ~~~~ Zhi, China has not been seeking to talk to us all these years, then give them a chance!"

Go~Er~Ba~Joo~Fu spoke very casually, as if a king was giving alms to his subjects, but when it fell into Butin's ears it was like a thunderclap, which startled his calm eyes, although he was young, but he had a very long-term vision, although the military did make serious mistakes in some procedures, but the result was in favor of the long-term interests of the Soviet Union.

After all, suppressing China can stabilize the interests of the Soviet Union in the Far East, especially on the issue of Vietnam, and supporting a Vietnam hostile to China can make the Soviet Union's power in Southeast Asia more stable, especially the maritime advance base built around Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, which can make the Soviet Union more able to take the initiative in the future global hegemony!

But I didn't expect that Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~fu would loosen the tight strings with a word, and talking with China would mean bowing his head, especially at the moment when the pro-China faction and the Lord-peace faction in Vietnam set up transitional committees, and it would make people feel that this was a compromise made by the Soviet Union to China on the Vietnam issue, and even if there is no clear result now, Bujing believes that in the near future, Vietnam will completely abandon the Soviet Union, and Cam Ranh Bay, a natural port, will say goodbye to the Soviet Union forever

"Sir, do you think again?"

Listening to Bujing's words, Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that a taciturn Bujing would suddenly give him advice, but even though he understood Bujing's thoughts, he didn't get angry, but smiled, like a teacher re-educating his students how to do learning, and said gently:

"I know that you are from a military background, and your natural thinking will be more linear, so I can understand, but you also have to remember that the focus is not on China and Vietnam, but on the Soviet Union, to be precise, within the Soviet Union, if you shrink it a little more, that is the army you served in before, their power is too great, if you don't suppress and suppress, how miserable would you imagine a military state would be?"

"Sir, but"

Bujing wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu waving his hand: "You are still young, and some things are still not clear, so I told you a long time ago, learn more chess, you can understand a lot of true meaning from it, and it will be very useful for your future life, okay, just reply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

Go~Er~Ba~Jo~Fu closed all the doors, and Bujing had to leave the ornate No. 2 office with helplessness and disappointment, and as he walked in the golden corridor, he looked up, stared at the beautiful ceiling, and sighed intriguingly:

"Only take care of yourself, you can't look at the overall situation, is this still a master?"

"What kind of chess are the Soviets playing, and what is their purpose?"

A few hours later, when the news of the Soviet Union's voluntary recall of China to seek a negotiated settlement of the dispute reached Ramitage's ears, the bigwig hiding behind the scenes could not believe his ears, and frowned and sighed:

"Unpredictable, unpredictable!"

"I believe that this is the Soviet Union's countermeasure against us, so we will take the initiative to put down our posture and win over China, I have to say that the person who planned all this is indeed a master of strategy!" Assistant Secretary of State Baker, who was sitting next to him, said his opinion, and Ramitage nodded, and then asked:

"What's China's reaction?"

"They seem to be quite willing for the Soviet Union to be able to détente!"

"This is understandable, no, China wants to restore normal relations with the Soviet Union, no, you can't let them in, absolutely not!"

Ramitage was indifferent at first, but then he became so agitated that he was a little hoarse at the end, because he had a premonition that some kind of force majeure was about to happen (to be continued). )
