"Until then, we have to buy as much time as possible, and I'm not too worried about Iraq, because the current Afghan government is not very deep-rooted, so the focus is on Afghanistan. "I have already sent a good young man over, www.biquge.info should not be a problem. The main thing is that the work of military aid needs to be accelerated, and the strength of the current Afghan government forces should be improved, so that they can withstand risks. ”

The issue of preventing the spread of civil war in Iran, if it is done well, Iran will be a black hole to absorb all the extremists in the vicinity of the Middle East, and if it is not done well, it will cause the spread of these religious elements on the contrary. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious, there should be a super-department look.

At that time, US President Harry S. Truman issued an ultimatum to the Soviet Union, asking the Soviet Union to withdraw from Iran before May Day in '46, and not to be arrogant. Some American media even clamored that 300 atomic bombs would flatten the Soviet Union. "In the face of the U.S. nuclear threat, the Soviet Union was forced to back down before the atomic bomb. Soviet troops all withdrew from Iran. Since then, Iran has been a West Asian ally of the United States.

"The Soviet Union can't get it, and it can't give it to the United States, and if it is broken, it won't be given to you, I'll see what you do." This is not a business competition, and there is no such thing as a win-win situation. Especially when the USSR had a geographical advantage over the United States.

On the surface, Serov chose a lose-lose plan, but in reality, the plan that was purely beneficial to the Soviet Union had almost no chance of success, so it was better to let the United States and the Soviet Union get nothing. In this way, it will be easier for the United States to accept that it will not jump over the wall in a hurry, and at the same time, the United States and the Soviet Union will work together to contain other countries from interfering.

This very selfish unspoken rule has always existed, and both the United States and the Soviet Union naturally wanted to be the final victors. But the other countries will not be allowed to take advantage of the rivalry, and the last one who was ready to do so has already led the Soviet Union over. I believe that South Africa is certainly not very willing to be unlucky only by itself, and if another unlucky guy appears, those Boers will definitely be very happy.

After the meeting, Serov, who looked like he had been hollowed out, returned to his office, and he still didn't rest a little. There is no rest on the train, but unfortunately, it is not the time. And the Mendelev thing.

Many years ago, Serov came up with a method when he was in India, which allowed India to fight with Pakistan with all his strength, and avoid the disadvantage of public opinion, at least few countries would come to stop India. The only sequelae is that once it is revealed that Serov's suicide will not necessarily restore the reputation of the Soviet Union.

When Iran is turbulent, this matter should be put aside for a while, or not done, and it must be done as best as it starts.

If something goes wrong, only God knows what happens, and the greater the gain, the greater the risk.

At Serov's home, he and his wife, Valya, were watching TV, and the ashtray in front of him was no longer full of cigarette butts, and the TV was replaying the footage of Margaret Thatcher's victory over and over again. The nickname of the Iron Lady was given by the Soviet Red Star, because he once criticized the Soviet Union for putting artillery in the foremost position.

"What's wrong? This woman is troublesome? I don't know how many times it was played, Valya finally couldn't help but say that her husband cared a little too much about Margaret Thatcher. She doesn't think that Serov has anything to do with the other party, she still has a certain understanding of her husband's tastes, and it will never change, she just likes to be young and beautiful.

Mrs. Thatcher was very temperamental and relatively beautiful at that time, but this age no longer poses a threat.

How can a British prime minister have a relationship with the chairman of the KGB? I have to say that Valya's brain hole is not ordinarily big.

"This woman is anti-Soviet, she will lead the confrontation between Britain and the USSR." Serov stood up and prepared to empty the ashtray, and after a while came back with the empty ashtray and continued, "It is generally a little unreasonable for a woman to be the leader of a country. "If it weren't for the opponent Goto, it is estimated that Margaret Thatcher would have left a notoriety in history. I have to say that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Margaret Thatcher took advantage of the fall of the Soviet Union to clear her notoriety.

But this woman can only do this, the biggest winner of the collapse of the Soviet Union is the United States, the biggest economic beneficiary is Germany, and the British victory is limited to Margaret Thatcher's memoirs.

"Confrontation? Just this woman, just the UK? Valya looked surprised, and for the first time began to look seriously at the new British Prime Minister on TV, as if trying to find something different in the other person's face.

Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, not to mention the husband of the KGB chairman, even her wife in the Ministry of Education knows that Britain's military strength has shrunk to the point of using light aircraft carriers as capital ships. The British Royal Navy is okay against ordinary countries, but it is not an opponent of the Soviet Red Navy, how can it be fought in this case?

"Increase military spending? If I remember correctly, the UK's finances don't seem to be okay at the moment. Valya asked, tilting her head.

"Wouldn't it be better to cut welfare and the public to start, and to specialize in the financial industry by outsourcing the industry, which reduces costs and makes the financial industry more profitable." Serov smiled at his wife, showed a mouthful of white teeth and said, "If the people are dissatisfied, the dissatisfied people can be resolved, of course, temporary labor pains are inevitable." ”

"Do you really want to do what you said, and the people won't make a fuss?" Valya asked rhetorically with some dissatisfaction, "Is it possible that the British have such a high consciousness and are happily welcomed by their own weakened welfare?" ”

Serov sneered and shook his head, what is incomprehensible about this, although the Internet has appeared, but it is limited to a new field, and the Soviet Union has also begun to experiment with the implementation of cybernetics, and the development of European and American countries in this area will not pose a threat to the traditional media for at least ten years after the Soviet Union. The right to speak is still in the hands of the major newspapers, so what's the big deal about creating a news that the people of the whole country are happy to welcome the rise in oil prices.

If there is something to be envied, it is that Britain can cut welfare without any scruples if it changes its political party. There was only one Communist Party in the Soviet Union, and it was impossible to throw out the black cauldron of cutting welfare, and even when the Soviet Union collapsed, it did not cut off the huge welfare expenditures, and I don't know whether it was serious and responsible, or lacking heart.

"What's strange about that, Margaret Thatcher is not the leader of the Labour Party, she is the leader of the Conservative Party." Serov shrugged and said, "Even if she succeeds, she will hollow out Britain, which is good for the Soviet Union in the long run." The financial industry has no lethal effect on us, and we cannot survive without the most basic industry. ”

Do not think that the financial industry did not exist in the Soviet bloc, but that the financial industry of the entire Warsaw Pact countries was in one country. That is Greece, which has a market economy. Behind the stock market of Greece is 30 percent of the world's industry, which is the Eastern European countries plus the Soviet Union.

This kind of power is all embodied in Greece as a country, so Greece's life is not too good now, there are so many countries in the Warsaw Pact, only Greece has a stock market. Greece alone bears the entire financial industry of the Warsaw Pact, and it can be said that if the Soviet Union wants to put Greece forward the Warsaw Pact, Greece will smash the door back and say that it is a member of the Warsaw Pact.

Because of the support of the entire Warsaw Pact, there is almost no risk of Greece being sheared, and whoever wants to shear the wool of Greece, the Warsaw Pact 100,000 tanks are not used for military parades, and the Greek government will definitely use national power to intervene.

This kind of hooliganism is used as a backup, Greece has a very high opinion of the Warsaw Pact, and there is no stock market in the Warsaw Pact countries, so why are you saying that I, an Orthodox country, was blind in the first place and had to mix with US imperialism.

Although Margaret Thatcher and Reagan were troubles with the Soviet Union, and they wanted to re-crush the Soviet Union, no matter who they were, they could not break all the rules, even if they were the fastest in power, they would not have time to trouble the Soviet Union in the first two years of their respective powers, but this time was too coincidental, just when Brezhnev was dying.

It seems that since the eighties, all the good fortune of the USSR has run out. Completely contrary to the invincible situation of the 70s, in the end, a person who wanted prestige but no prestige, who wanted ability but no ability, and almost nothing became the general secretary. Soon Margaret Thatcher promulgated a platform for her governance, she embraced the theory of monetarism, and when she came to power, she carried out drastic reforms. She mainly took four measures, one was privatization, the second was to control the currency, the third was to cut welfare spending, and the fourth was to crack down on the power of the trade unions. She pursued austerity policies in order to reduce inflation.

In response to the British female prime minister, the Soviet Union began to evaluate Margaret Thatcher's policy. It is hoped to find a counterpart to this woman who was very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union. At this time, the Soviet Union needed a little spiritual power, and this spiritual power was in the rubyyanka, and Serov knew that before Margaret Thatcher could not handle the country, he was not qualified to trouble the Soviet Union. If you want to scold her, you have to ...... now

"With this woman's policy, early business losses and unemployment will increase, but as long as you can withstand the early losses, Britain will function better for a while. But if you take twenty or thirty years as a cycle, Britain's industry will be ruined, and sooner or later it will decline even more than it was before her leadership. Serov knew that Margaret Thatcher's seven-wound punch that hurt herself first and then hurt others came out, and Britain would pay the price sooner or later, and then it would have to be included in the GDP.

"I may still doubt what others say, but if it is what you say, I absolutely believe it." Andropov rejoiced. (To be continued.) )
