"Yuri's suggestion is very good, the biggest enemy is always the United States, and we and China are just arguing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Suslov immediately expressed his support, in the understanding of many people, China is just learning from Yugoslavia and wants to stand on its own, and it is actually tolerable to get out of control, but do not stretch your hand into the influence of the Soviet Union.

What the Soviet Union could not tolerate was that after China's independence, it extended its hand to Eastern Europe, and the Eastern European countries were dissatisfied with the control of the Soviet Union with China's support.

By 1964, the Soviet Union had stabilized its basic market, but in fact, the most intense period had passed. Now Serov has put forward a very normal proposal for détente with China on the premise of a common enemy.

As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, the overall situation is the United States, as long as it can get rid of the United States, let alone be friends with China, even with the Federal Republic of Germany. Isn't it that 30 million people were killed in battle, and these are not problems.

This issue also caused a certain amount of controversy, but in fact, the majority of opinions still approved this proposal, especially Suslov expressed strong support, and in the end Khrushchev still listened to the opinions of the majority of the committee members and improved relations with China, but did not let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do it, this task fell to Andropov, head of the Central Liaison Department, and like the visit during the Sino-Indian war, Andropov needed to go to China after the United States expressed its position on the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin .

The reason why Serov did not want the Soviet Union to immediately enter the Vietnam War was to reassure the United States to step into the quagmire. The main thing is that I don't want to disperse my forces before the overall situation of Indonesia has been decided, and according to historical time, a coup d'état in Indonesia is also imminent. At this time, it was unthinkable to disperse the KGB's forces in Southeast Asia to join the Vietnam War.

If Indonesia's movements are not watched, the Vietnam War will be won, at most, it will make the United States weak for a period of time, as in history, and if it wants to cause a strategic defeat, it is still necessary to control Indonesia. In addition to Western Europe, there are only a few valuable places, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, of which the Middle East is within the reach of the Soviet Union, and although the Soviet Union's own power in Southeast Asia is somewhat out of reach, it can borrow China's influence. As for the group of black uncles in Africa, they are doing their best to obey the fate of heaven, and no one knows whether they can succeed or not, except for the development of an intelligence network in South America, in a short period of time, except for waiting for opportunities.

The premise of all this is that the United States officially enters the war, otherwise it is useless to say anything. Serov spent an unusually long time in the Kremlin today, and after the evening meeting, Serov and Andropov left the Kremlin together.

The heat of the day has dissipated, and the two enjoy the unique breeze of the Moscow summer evening, and the two have a very common language at work, and the things of the supervisor overlap, and they can find a common language by saying just two sentences.

"Chairman Serov, if the United States does enter the war in full-scale, what does that mean for us?" Andropov scrutinized at the chairman of the KGB sitting next to him, and Serov's posture was not so serious, like a paralyzed patient, or rather like a puddle of mud.

What does that mean? It means that their death date is coming, and I can finally interfere with my own plans without thinking about the American factor! Serov instantly recovered from his paralyzed state and said in a long and meaningful voice, "The Americans always think that they are invincible in the world and can settle everything in one country, thinking that the Korean War is just an accident, if they fight with this kind of psychology, then the price they pay is unimaginable, wait, the KGB has so many relevant plans that it can be pulled by a truck!" ”

"Oh?" Andropov smiled, seemed interested in the topic and asked, "Then is there a plan for China, you also know that the Chinese are actually a difficult negotiating opponent." Andropov shook his head at this, as if rather helpless about the situation.

China in this era gives people the impression that it is untouchable, and it is not good to be hard, and it is not okay to be soft. Even the Soviet Union, when facing China, had a feeling that it had nowhere to speak. If Southeast Asia all follows China in the end, will China, which has pulled up a group of small partners, play against the Soviet Union? Serov is not worried, the small countries next to the big countries will be close to each other, and once China and the Soviet Union quarrel, these socialist countries in Eastern Europe will definitely support the Soviet Union, and socialism in Southeast Asia will definitely not support China.

But what? This nowhere to talk is for others, and Serov is not in this ranks. Answering Andropov's question with the same face, "After arriving in China, you can ask about China's atomic bomb process on an appropriate occasion, and you don't need to threaten them, just tell them that we have controlled the progress, and we should succeed within three months." ”

China's atomic bomb test time was about the same time as Khrushchev's resignation, and Serov's memory is correct. Now that he is watching in the Soviet Union, as long as there are signs of a coup d'état against Khrushchev, he will definitely be aware of it, and there is no need to worry about this problem.

"What news is this, almost successful?" Andropov was very surprised and asked, "It was so fast, I thought it was hopeless at least in recent years, and it seems that the Chinese are also desperate." ”

Is that a life-saving thing not happy? Serov shrugged and said, "I'm speculating on the smoothest progress, which may not be accurate, but you can use this topic to test China." This will have some effect on your visit, of course, we are mainly talking about cooperation, this issue is not important, just tell China at the appropriate time, we know about it. ”

How can Serov be the chairman of the KGB? It can be said that as a person with the memory of later generations, he himself can top half of the KGB's workload, where there is something that has not yet been discovered, Serov first decided to find it in the KGB, twice the result with half the effort, to this day he has won four Lenin medals, the last time was because of the successful coup d'état in Sudan was awarded by Brezhnev, but he did not want to mention such a trivial matter.

The two chatted for a while, and before parting, Serov suddenly said to Andropov, "Comrade Andropov, maybe this is the turning point of the Cold War, we have done a good job, and when this war is over, it will be time for us to switch from defense to offense." ”

Turning defense into offense? Hearing this word, Andropov, who was already going to take the car home, instantly sharpened his eyes. For a person who had witnessed the events in Hungary, when he saw Communist and security cadres hanged on telephone poles in Hungary, Serov gradually took control of the situation after planning the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Hungary to divert his attention.

At this time, the Gulf of Tonkin incident was already boiling over in the United States, appearing on the pages of all newspapers, and almost instantly became known to all Americans, and all newspapers were full of voices of condemnation and lessons.

The car slowly stopped on Capitol Hill, Lyndon Johnson got out of the car with a serious face, took a deep look at the Capitol in front of him, took a deep breath and walked in.

"The Soviet Union and China-backed North Vietnam showed obvious aggressiveness, and this attack on our destroyer is the most obvious proof of this, and we in the United States absolutely cannot tolerate this happening."

"Yes, the North Vietnamese must be taught a lesson to stop the spread of the communist movement in Southeast Asia. The obvious aggressiveness of the USSR and China was a great threat to the United States, and they had to be stopped by military force. ”

Republicans and Democrats, senior senators and rising stars are all filled with righteous indignation, believing that the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin is a serious provocation to the United States, and in response the United States must take the toughest attitude against the Soviet Union and China.

It was at this time that Lyndon Johnson walked in and stopped the arguments among the members of the House and Senate who were arguing. Lyndon Johnson looked serious, straightened up, walked to the podium and said, "I believe that the parliamentarians and gentlemen already know that the North Vietnamese torpedo boats launched an attack on our destroyers on the high seas, and fortunately our naval soldiers loyally defended the honor of the US Navy, but this matter is far from over, and we must fight back." ”

After a moment of approving, yes voices, Lyndon Johnson quieted the members of Congress and continued, "The Soviet Union used the resources of Communist China to bring under its control the East Asian continent and, eventually, Japan and the major islands off the western Pacific coast. Due to their strategic geographical location, abundant natural resources, and large population, the countries of Southeast Asia are of great value to the free world. Communism control of China and Southeast Asia will put Japan in a very vulnerable position and seriously affect the entire security position of the United States in the Pacific, the fall of the continental countries will lead to the chain of coastal islands controlled by the United States from bases to fronts, of which Australia may become the front line, and the direct threat we face comes from the Chinese Communist Party's armed conquest and internal subversion. ”

"So!" Lyndon Johnson glanced at all the members of Congress with a heavy gaze and said loudly, "We must stop China from moving south and wipe out the Chinese-backed North Vietnam." ”

"Yes!" After a round of voting, a resolution was passed authorizing President Lyndon Johnson to take "all necessary measures" to repel any armed attack on the U.S. armed forces. At the same time, dozens of US bombers took off into North Vietnamese airspace and indiscriminately bombed Nghe An, Hung Kyi, and Thanh Hoa. (To be continued.) )
