"That visit didn't produce much, but the Americans took the initiative to ease relations, and the Chinese accepted it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info There has been no real progress. This is not only China's unilateral claim, but I also judge that it is basically impossible to make the current China bow its head, and if it were possible, we would have done it a long time ago. Serov grinned and said nonchalantly, "Nixon's visit was somewhat fruitful, but it was basically fruitless. ”

"Well, but Nixon came to the Soviet Union in the hope of reducing the scale of strategy and weapons with us, which is what we need, at least on the surface, we still have to deceive them." Brezhnev smiled slightly, "You have to make an attitude, before you come back, many members of the committee think that you will oppose it." ”

Brezhnev showed obvious closeness, put a hand on Serov's shoulder, and asked, "Is Injra Gandhi ready to annex Bengal?" It's a solid foundation for us, but Pakistan itself is the only problem, when you want to do it. If we unite with China, will we be a little more successful? ”

"China will not agree, not only can it not tell China, but it will keep it a secret and show that it does not care about South Asia. Our elimination of Pakistan not only means that the Eurasian continent has been cut off, but also that China is surrounded by pro-Soviet countries, and China will not see it. Serov looked down and sighed, "They definitely don't want to see that happen." ”

For any major power, this is a geopolitical catastrophe, think about the United States to the south of Mexico and the north of Canada are the Soviet Union allies, that is, the oversized Cuban missile crisis, there is no other way out than a world war.

"If possible, we would also like to show goodwill to China, where our military exchanges have been interrupted for ten years." Serov extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "This is also more necessary, I think we can restore military exchanges between the two armies." ”

"Comrade Ustinov believes that the unreserved assistance to China at the beginning did not exchange for the goodwill of the other side, but on the contrary, caused us a lot of trouble, is it a bit risky?" Brezhnev was reluctant to agree to this proposal.

"General Secretary, the military exchanges I am talking about are those of the Red Navy and the People's Navy." Standing in front of the map of Asia, Serov shouted, "The Chinese navy is strong, and it is not us who is the most angry, but Japan and South Korea who are frightened." There is also the island in the southeast of China, it is really impossible to send them a Sverdlov-class cruiser, in the Red Navy's manufacturing plan, these ships of the second post-war five-year plan, really can't keep up with our development, but except in a few countries, the Sverdlov-class cruiser can be used as a flagship in any country, and the same is true in China. Indonesia, India, Vietnam, and other countries in Asia have strong sea power, and they will not hinder us, and the sea power belongs to the Americans anyway. ”

If the Chinese army is too strong, it will be the problem of the Soviet Union, but if the navy is too strong, it will be the problem of the Americans. If China wants, Serov believes that the Red Navy can even give away the drawings of the Kirov battlecruiser in vain, the Chinese Navy can provide whatever the Soviet Union wants, and the powerful Chinese Navy is certainly not an enemy of the Soviet Red Navy.

It is not without benefits that China was jointly blocked, as can be seen from the course of China's tank development, with the unilateral support of the Soviet Union, China was unable to develop a new tank for a long time after five pairs of load-bearing wheels. After all, what is Soviet is Soviet, and that is not Chinese. Without getting rid of dependence on Soviet technology, China's military industry will never be able to become independent. Now China has not communicated with me for ten years, and although nothing new has appeared, some technical reserves are accumulating.

It has been almost ten years since the blockade, and Serov feels that the writing wheel eye of China's military industrial enterprises is almost complete.

"Sounds good, but it seems to be true. What's next? Just returned from India, what other plans. Brezhnev smiled and sat down, looking very familiar. If it had not been for the dismissal of the other party a month ago on the occasion of the visit of Leningrad First Secretary Tolskykov, Serov would have really believed it.

Now the first secretary of Leningrad is a Romanov? Grigory? Vasilyevich, Brezhnev probably did not think that this person actually had a good personal relationship with Serov and was not a neutral on the surface. In other words, Brezhnev took advantage of Tolskykov's visit to dismiss the other party and replaced him with a friend of Sherepin, but replaced him with a friend of Serov.

Tolskykov was arranged to be an ambassador to China, which was better, and having his own friends as ambassadors in China made it easier for Serov to regulate relations with China.

"The next step is Chile, and the situation in Chile is the traditional backyard of the United States, which has been blockaded by the United States since President Allende came to power. Chile has some problems in countries like ours, which is that the treatment has increased, but the prices have not risen, and there is deflation. My enemy, the CIA, will not let go of this opportunity, but Chile is too far away from the Soviet Union for me to reach over. Serov also replied with embarrassment.

"Chile? Nixon wanted to do something to Chile, yes, the possibility is very high, we can't overestimate the moral standards of imperialism, you're right. Brezhnev was shocked, he attached great importance to the country of Chile, the Soviet Union itself lacked friends in South America, so far only Cuba was an ally of the Soviet Union, and Allende's policy after coming to power was very pro-Soviet, which was also valued by the Soviet Union.

"There is a problem with the reforms in Chile, and the reactionary forces are still strong, so except in the European regions where our Soviet army can threaten the masses, those interests dare not take action, except in the places of Europe, we should still arm the revolution." Serov shrugged: "If we allow Allende to solve this problem on his own, Chile alone will definitely not solve it." "Even a country like the Soviet Union needs a market, not to mention a country like Chile that is influenced by the United States.

The socialists, who had a majority in parliament, gradually introduced socialist measures, while real economic power remained in the hands of the old ruling class. They can use their economic power to shut down entire factories and create unemployment, force prices to soar through speculation and hoarding, send money abroad to create balance-of-payments panic, and wage a press war to blame the socialists' cabinets.

Chile's Allende government is facing even greater disruption from big business. On two occasions, entire factories were closed due to strikes by bosses, speculators made prices kite and merchants hoarded goods, so that people queued up for necessities.

"Can you avoid this problem?" Brezhnev could not afford to lose Chile, and the reason why Brezhnev quickly changed his policy of détente in history had a lot to do with the coup d'état of Allende in Chile.

Serov shook his head slightly, and said with a weak look, "I am just the head of a department, it is impossible to solve the problems of Chile, and the only person who can calm down Chilean society is you, Comrade Brezhnev, you are the general secretary of the Soviet Union." ”

Although these words are a bit suspicious of sycophancy, this is the case, did the KGB go to the Americas to confront the United States militarily? This was simply impossible, only large-scale Soviet aid to Chile, and only Brezhnev could do this.

Almost in an instant, something called international responsibility suddenly appeared in Brezhnev's heart, mainly because the-stirring stick that has been pointing fingers at the international situation has shown that there is no way, only he, the general secretary, can come out, so that the general secretary has a feeling that the Soviet Union can't do without me, Serov can't do anything, and in the end it still depends on me......

Brezhnev, who had this thought, thought for a moment and said with an unfathomable look, "Let's think about holding the World Congress of Communist Parties and Workers' Parties in Chile this year." ”

Serov looked shocked, he now felt that the general secretary was still a ruthless person, so that he could go to Chile blatantly, and it would attract the attention of the world, for those generals in Chile, this was a tsunami-like pressure, and finally said, "I believe that except for a very small number of people, few people dare to coup d'état." ”

"Let's let the news out first, but don't say that it will be held in Chile, according to the custom, this kind of conference is always held in Moscow, and if the news is released first, many countries will not think of Chile." Brezhnev said confidently, "Let's prepare for Nixon first, and when he leaves, we will go to Chile, you and I will go together, and Comrade Kirilenko and Shurik will guide the work in the country." ”

"I'll greet Nixon, all right!" Serov gave a military salute and said that he obeyed the arrangements of the general secretary.

"No, no...... You misunderstood me, we have to be thoughtful in diplomatic etiquette, but in private, when you and Nixon are only two people, you can show your attitude, and it has nothing to do with the country and me. Brezhnev still remembers the kitchen debate more than ten years ago when Nixon was still vice president, and Serov, who was in charge of security at that time, had a dazzling performance. It has severely humiliated the United States from the perspective of people's livelihood.

At the end of May, when Nixon's special plane arrived in Moscow, Brezhnev, Kirilenko, Serov, and other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee all appeared, greeted him at the airport, and looked at Nixon who got off the plane. (To be continued.) )
