Chapter 482: Sino-Soviet Détente

There were different interests at different levels of the state, and there were such problems within the USSR. For example www.biquge.info the military-industrial complex represented by the Ministry of Defense, the controlling forces of the KGB, the diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But as long as the first secretary is not too naïve, it is not difficult to control these individual needs into a rope. The problems of the United States are far more serious than those of the Soviet Union, and the American government is absolutely incapable of settling with its colleagues, the financial conglomerates on Wall Street, the major arms companies, and the oil conglomerates.

So the United States will always fight an inexplicable war, the Vietnam War in this era represents the interests of the American arms companies, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States is invincible in the world, and the most inflated time is to fight Afghanistan first, but then because Afghanistan itself is of little value, it began to start an Iraqi copy to meet the interests of the oil group.

The frequency of the United States' military dispatch is not as good as the Soviet Union, the enemy of the free world, and what Serov appreciates the most is that people can always wash themselves white, and it is not that I am the whole world who is wrong, and there is really a stupid X to buy it.

Along the way, he entered the Kremlin at a gallop, as a department directly under the Central Presidium, the chairman of the KGB had easier access to the highest authority of the Soviet Union than others, and as expected, it was indeed because of the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin that this special meeting was held, and all the members and alternate members of the Central Presidium in Moscow were present. Saluting to these members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Serov silently did Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyco's side.

"If, according to the KGB report, this is just a normal move by the United States, we all know that the United States generally treats some small countries like this, and this must be a normal bullying move by the US Navy." Marshal Malinovsky pointed to the map and spoke.

"The KGB's intelligence network will not spread false news!" At least it won't be scattered at random, and adding in his heart, Serov stood up and walked to Marshal Malinovsky's side, looking at the markers on the map, his face was serious, as if he was making a very complicated deduction, in fact, he was just stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the chairman of the KGB, who had always been the most reliable and perceptive, was thinking, there was a rare hint of silence in the conference room of the Central Presidium, and the most reliable and perceptive was not what Serov claimed to be, but the impression caused by the countless times of being a-stirring stick and retreating. With this Caspian Tiger in the USSR, the total number of American purposes was identified, and now the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, including Khrushchev, were accustomed to listening to the opinion of the head of the secret service, and at least half of the credit for this trust went to the KGB.

After a minute, Khrushchev slowly spoke, "Yuri, I see nothing, tell me your opinion." ”

"A major war not inferior to the Korean War is about to break out." As soon as Serov, who woke up from the illusion and had a blank head, he let the Soviet bigwigs present hear a very shocking news.

Korean War? After a short silence, there was a lively atmosphere. This idea was the happiest for the Soviet Union. The reason why the Soviet Union did not gain any practical benefits from the Korean War was that the United States was still at its peak and had not yet finished digesting the victories of World War II. By the way, Greece and Turkey were absorbed into NATO and the encirclement of the Soviet Union was completed.

On the contrary, the Soviet Union was hit hard in World War II, and there was a fault line among adult men in the country, and it was still in the post-war recovery period. By the time the Korean War began, it had just recovered from heavy losses in the Great Patriotic War, so it was not able to take advantage of the fact that the United States was drawn into the Korean War, but now everything is different.

Now the strength of the Soviet Union is far less than the gap between it and the United States during the Korean War, and God has given the Soviet Union a second chance.

"Yuri, will the United States officially enter the war because of the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin incident?" Khrushchev's eyes lit up, and he was obviously quite moved, and if he had the opportunity, he certainly wanted to find an opportunity to weaken the United States. Although he hopes to maintain peace with the United States, it does not mean that he, the first secretary, will let go of the opportunity to send it to the door.

Historically, the Soviet Union was severely injured in World War II, and its main focus was on restoring its domestic economy, and its foreign policy tended to be conservative and contractionary. After Khrushchev came to power, he initially continued a relatively conservative diplomatic strategy, and because of the chaos caused by the criticism of Stalin, his sphere of influence in Eastern Europe was not affected by a lot. After Khrushchev consolidated his dominance, he once engaged in a fierce struggle with the United States for hegemony, but due to the disparity in overall strength, the Cuban Missile Crisis ended with the Soviet Union retreating. After the failure of hardline expansion, Khrushchev's policy shifted to vigorously developing agriculture and light industry at home to enhance economic strength, and to ease and reconcile with the United States externally, in an effort to jointly carve up world hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. Therefore, in the later period of Khrushchev's administration, the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union tended to ease, and the overall world situation was relatively calm.

This does not mean that Khrushchev is willing to be crushed by the United States in his country, but it is really because of the lack of strength to adopt a policy of détente, and now an opportunity is in front of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev just wants to confirm one point, whether the United States will really officially enter the war.

"If we wait two days, we will officially see a series of performances from the United States. I can conclude that I vouch for my ten years of intelligence experience in the KGB. Serov said categorically in an affirmative tone, and originally wanted to pat his chest to aggravate his tone, but considering that he was facing the highest decision-making level of the Soviet Union, he still forgot it.

There are two types of warfare, one is improvised, the punishment is improvised, or the conflict is caused by a misfire. The border conflict between China and the Soviet Union fell into this category, and even the beginning of the Korean War belonged to the former, only later it became more and more difficult to clean up. But this was not the case with the Vietnam War, which and later the Gulf War were of the type that had been premeditated. In order to deceive Saddam, the United States also adopted deceptive tactics against Saddam Hussein at the beginning.

The latter type of war will not disappear because Serov did a few things in the Soviet Union, because objectively there is a need in the United States, and this need cannot be solved by him as a Soviet.

"This is a great opportunity to divert Americans' attention if the U.S. is bogged down in a quagmire and use this time to expand our influence." Podgorny, secretary of the Central Committee, was the first to express his opinion. Character-wise, Podgorny is very similar to the original second secretary Kozlov, but he does not have the conditions for Kozlov to have good relations with the military-industrial complex and the Ministry of Defense. This condition was on Brezhnev, not knowing that Khrushchev was influenced by Kozlov's shadow when he was looking for a successor.

"It's a good opportunity!" Brezhnev nodded solemnly, and then turned his eyes to Khrushchev, hoping that Khrushchev would come up with a decisive opinion.

"Comrades of the Presidium of the Central Committee, we cannot get involved right away." Serov expressed his opinion again before Khrushchev spoke, and this sentence surprised these people, Serov's style of acting is not a secret to these people, a typical impulsive, how did he suddenly change his sex this time?

"Yura, I thought you wouldn't be able to wait to suggest that we come to military aid." Although Brezhnev was surprised, he still maintained a kind attitude, turned to look at Sherepin behind him, and joked.

"I have my reasons, first of all, if we make a formal statement at the beginning of the war, it is likely to make the Americans more cautious and control the scale of the war." Serov, of course, did not have the ability to frighten the United States, but the Soviet Union did. Historically, the United States was careful to step into the quagmire with a bold foot, which was initially related to the Soviet Union's indifference to the Vietnam War.

The reason why the Cold War is a Cold War is because although the two military blocs have confronted each other several times, they have not engaged in a full-scale war, and Serov will not be idle and wants to transform the world into a radiant world.

"So in the first year, we should actually pretend to be very busy, and if we can't do it, we will spread the news that the climate in the Soviet Union is not good right now, or that there are some natural disasters there to paralyze the United States. Give the United States the feeling that the USSR will not be in the way. Serov looked at Suslov slightly sideways and said, "Secretary Suslov, what do you think?" ”

"Propaganda deception? Although it is only a small means, it is good to use it to see the effect. Suslov's face did not change and he agreed with Serov's opinion, for him, it was a matter of words.

Khrushchev also nodded, this is also something he considers, and besides, his own reforms are not yet complete. It would be good to see if the United States is fully engaged in the war, if the United States has made a bloody investment, the Soviet Union will naturally sell its kidney to aid Vietnam. If the United States is only based on defense, then it is better for the Soviet Union to concentrate on cultivating internal strength.

The Vietnam War was not something that the United States said would be defended, and Serov understood this very well, because the supporting force behind Vietnam was not the Soviet Union itself, but also China. When it comes to China, Serov has to admit that because of his own factors, China has been more isolated in this history, and the reason is that China has swallowed up the northeast of India in this historical time and space. In this case, it is more difficult to wash the floor than in history.

Therefore, Serov put forward a second suggestion after the results of the topic just now, "Vietnam cannot do without a little support, and if it is not expressed, the Vietnamese will not be able to hold it on their own." Therefore, based on the consideration of defeating the United States first, I suggest that we should ease relations with the Chinese comrades, restore ties with China on the premise of resisting the overall situation of US aggression, and let China free up to support Vietnam.
