The reason why the Soviet Union launched the Cuban Missile Crisis was entirely to abolish the unequal treaty between Cuba and the United States and help Cuba recover the Guantanamo Bay base. If the Soviet Union supports China to solve the problem by war this time, the favorability that has just been brushed up will disappear in an instant, so the Soviet Foreign Ministry will absolutely not be able to express its stance on the Sino-Indian war. What's more, the opposition is almost all over the world, and India's brand as the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement is still very valuable at this time.

Even in the original history, it was impossible for the Soviet Union to support China, because the Soviet Union did not dare to insist on supporting China in the face of such a wave of opposition, and you must know that in 1962, relations between India and Arab countries were not bad. The first Indo-Pakistani war can be pushed to the head of the British colonialists, Nehru pushed the war of independence between India and Pakistan to the British, which was recognized by many countries, and the sign of India's non-aligned leader really smashed the beginning, in addition to the defeat of the war, there was also the later Indo-Pakistani war that completely offended the Arab countries and made the non-aligned movement collapse.

At this time, China was nominally an ally of the Soviet Union, and ordinary countries did not dare to spit on the Soviet Union, but they did not have any psychological burden on another country of the same type as the Soviet Union. Were the Arab countries dissatisfied with the Soviet Union? That's for sure, but the Soviet Union is so close, and many Arab countries have been colonized by Britain and France, and they still need the strength of the Soviet Union to fight against the old colonizers, so they will endure the atheistic Soviets. But it doesn't mean that even China can endure it, which is far away in the world, and China is an atheist country anyway.

As for the names of a large number of African countries in the back, Serov didn't bother to look at them, in fact, if the Soviet Union made a statement, at least from the point of view of public opinion, China would not be so ugly, at least there would be comrades from the socialist camp to support it, wouldn't it? But if the Soviet Union, which had just gone through the Cuban Missile Crisis, immediately supported China in the war, would it have a sense of admiration?

"I can only do it, I can't say it, this is my attitude this time." Serov looked for an entry point with a sad face, what kind of timing is the most appropriate, which power is the help, and which force is the resistance. Whoever could cooperate with the Soviet Union and who might stumble on the Soviet Union all had to be taken into account.

Don't think about the support on the surface, but China is not at a loss, and more than 200,000 square kilometers of land are not occupied for nothing. As long as these lands are eaten, what are you afraid of if people are scolded for a few years? I don't want to be scolded, and I want to get benefits, if there is such a good thing, please tell Serov, he also wants to benefit evenly.

"The question now is whether China will back down because the opposition is too loud." Serov thought about the problem in a different way, that is, what was the reason for the final retreat of China in history. Peace-loving? This reason is pure nonsense, and if you really love peace, you will not choose to do it. Moreover, judging from the timing of the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in Cuba, it is obvious that they had premeditated their intention to beat India, saying that it is normal for peace-loving other countries not to believe in it, and it is a fool to believe it......

Having trouble with supply lines? There seems to be some truth to this reasoning, which seems acceptable considering that the battlefield on both sides needs to pass through the roof of the world. But Serov always felt that this was not the main reason, he saw the list of equipment that China seized from India in later generations, and even captured a lot of aircraft and tanks, could it be that there would be a shortage of food? Besides, the northeast of India is a plain, not the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the Chinese soldiers are all peasants who will starve to death in the plains? Are you kidding.

In this time and space, after the start of the war, Nehru had hoped that the Soviet Union would give some help to improve India's supply lines, which was after Serov went to Cuba, specifically operated by Kudryash, and now it seems that the airdropped food should be captured by China now, after all, the Indian military failed too quickly......

Kudryash was called in and asked about the situation, and Kudryash patted his chest and promised to remove all the labels that could prove that they came from the Soviet Union, and Serov also had to ask how many supplies there were.

"About 3,000 tons, right? It's all some canned food and some dry food. It seems that Chairman Semichasny ordered that the daytime was too obvious, and we calculated the flight time and determined that we would arrive at the battle site at the next day for the airdrop. Kudryash said knowingly, "The airborne troops trained earlier were also airdropped far from the battlefield. ”

"More than 3,000 tons, each Chinese soldier can divide 100 kilograms, a lot, at least two months will not be hungry!" Serov converted it and omitted the lack of supply lines, which is not a reason for China to withdraw its troops.

Thinking about it this way, it is actually diplomatic pressure that makes it more likely that China will withdraw its troops, and Serov alone now sees that there are already seventy or eighty countries supporting India, and who knows if there will be more in two days, after all, the Cuban missile crisis is over.

Historically, the Soviet Union was neutral, and it may have been frightened by public opinion on this scale. Historically, the Soviet Union still had to be neutral, because the good name it had just gained could not be wasted. In 1962, India was the leader of the Third World and the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement. It easily has the support of most countries in the world, and the total number of countries that support China is less than ten.

Or the question from earlier, will China withdraw its troops under this wave of opposition? Serov touched his chin and thought very seriously, he knew that the withdrawal of troops was actually not clever from the perspective of later history. It is good for diplomacy, but the gain is too small. He was really afraid that China would not be able to withstand the accusations of dozens of countries and really withdraw its troops, not to mention China, in fact, the Soviet Union also suffered this kind of loss, that is, the Western Armenian problem that I had just met, the Soviet Union expressed its goodwill to Turkey, and the Turks took the goodwill of the Soviet Union as an insole, and turned around and killed all the Armenians.

That lesson made Stalin ready to clean up Turkey just after the Great Patriotic War, but was stopped by the Americans. However, the advantage of China this time is that the United States does not dare to fight China on its own. If he really did this, then the Soviet Union would be too happy, whether it was Khrushchev, Kozlov, or Brezhnev, they were very willing to treat the words of the head of the Soviet Union as if they had never said it, and embody the spirit of internationalism to resist US aggression and aid China. Don't look at the two countries as having a very pleasant relationship, but in 1962 these contradictions were all minor contradictions, and the Soviet Union would have been happy to do nothing at all. It's like having a bad relationship with China, but supporting Vietnam and the United States in the war. The greatest enemy is the United States, and the Soviet Union can continue to oppose the United States with its unbreakable alliance.

So how can this operation prevent China from retreating, Andropov, as the head of the Central Liaison Department, actually does the same job as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, except that he specializes in dealing with the communist parties of socialist countries and other countries. Judging by Semychasny's tone, Andropov should have gone to pour chicken soup for the soul.

Serov himself is in charge of this part, what can be done to prevent the withdrawal? That's a problem. It is necessary to create the consequences that even if the troops are withdrawn, they will not be understood, so that China can see it, so that the occupied places can be digested. As for whether those places were independent statehood or were incorporated into China, this is not a matter for Serov to consider, anyway, it is not Soviet.

In the evening, Serov sent a telegram to Moscow, asking if Nehru had asked for help from the Soviet Union. He was ready to enter India, and he had to turn to Nehru for help, otherwise he would not achieve his goal of destroying the Non-Aligned Movement.

Serov believes that the Americans have the same considerations as him, and that the United States and the Soviet Union have the same attitude toward the Non-Aligned Movement, that is, they are embarrassed to openly oppose it, and not only do they not oppose it, but they will also give praise to it, but as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely find a way to embarrass this movement that is independent of the United States and the Soviet Union, and now is the perfect opportunity to humiliate India.

Deep down, the difference between China and India is not so obvious, and both the United States and the Soviet Union are potential enemies. Now that these two countries are fighting, because India has suffered a big loss, it will certainly give India some appeasement on the surface, but in actual action, it will definitely find an opportunity to embarrass India and embarrass this non-aligned leader.

This can be seen in the support that the United States and the Soviet Union have given to India after the war. That batch of military aid was not advanced weapons at all, but weapons left over from the United States and the Soviet Union in World War II, and the use of these weapons to give to India, and it was widely reported, was itself a humiliation to India.

"Nehru seems to be preparing for a counteroffensive by the army, let's see the results first, if he fails, you can carry out your plan, Yura!" "Do you think India's counteroffensive might be successful?" ”

"How is that possible? Several of their most elite brigades are lost in the mountains and mountains, and why should the few reserve forces they are now using counterattack? Just those soldiers with old Li rifles that are older than my father? Serov said with a look of disgust, "When this counterattack is humiliating again, I am going to save them." ”

"Well, Comrade Dobrynin sent a telegram from Washington saying that it seems that the Kennedy administration is also ready to wait and see and make a decision, and maybe then you will have to cooperate with the Americans!" Sherepin paused, and a voice came from the phone.

This is not unexpected, in history, Nehru conceded defeat in late November, and at the beginning he was really preparing to gather troops to regain the lost land, panicked and constantly sent telegrams asking for help after the failure of the counteroffensive.

"I know, the world is really changing fast, I just condemned the United States at the United Nations General Assembly, and I will have to cooperate with the Americans again so soon!" Serov laughed and hung up the phone. (To be continued.) )
