Chapter 641: Arming India
"Can the message be determined? The Americans still bowed their heads......" Serov's face was flat, but his heart could be said to have been diluted a lot because of the recent joy, and the information revolution was being propagated all over the country, and even the local area networks of major cities had reached the final time of networking, and this news could be said to have poured cold water on himself.

"Yes, we got the news from Pakistan and it was confirmed that it was Nixon's aide Kissinger." Morikin, the head of the First General Directorate, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to report the news to the Kremlin immediately?" ”
"No need, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own channels, and the Kremlin should already know about it." Serov took a deep breath and said, at this time the red phone on the table rang, and when he picked up the phone, he heard it say, "Got it, are the three major departments coming?" Understood, Comrade Chernenko. ”
Reassuring the phone, Serov asked the driver to drive him to the Kremlin, in nearly twenty years of Soviet life, he has never learned to drive, this problem is an infernal breakthrough, such as his latest driver, was arranged by Zvigon, although he thought he arranged it very secretively.
As a man who can't drive, Serov's attitude towards all kinds of rubbing, it just so happens that Brezhnev is more fond of drag racing, so there will be a more peculiar scene during the vacation, the largest leader of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev, personally drove a jeep to carry the largest intelligence chief of the Soviet Union to hunt, followed by hundreds of secret police to protect the safety of the two.
Upon arrival in the Kremlin, in addition to members of the Presidium of the Central Committee and members of the Secretariat, there was Defense Minister Marshal Grechko, Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyko, along with the heads of the three major ministries of the KGB, and the other two departments have arrived.
"Yura, sit, I'm sure you know the situation!" Brezhnev just said simply, and his inner thoughts could not be seen on his face, what was there to call a sentence? Joy and anger are invisible, yes, that's it.
Serov sat down silently, for more than ten years he has been spreading ****** just to prevent the United States and China from approaching, but this has proved to be useless, no matter how many small actions there are, there is no real thing for the United States to bow its head. The United States has taken the initiative to improve relations, ignoring ***** what can you do?
The United States has found that it cannot settle two countries at the same time, and will definitely choose a weak enemy to ease, in fact, it is similar to the current policy of the Soviet Union, which chose Western Europe and the United States chose China. Even if China can make trouble for the United States, it will not let the United States give the illusion that China is a greater threat than the Soviet Union, because the national power is there.
The situation is similar to that of later generations, and no matter how much Russia tosses, it will not delay the United States in transferring its main forces to the East and playing the strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region. Because the gap in national strength on the surface is not something that can be changed by tossing.
"Let's talk about it, comrades, this move is very sudden, and we need to think about it slowly." Brezhnev glanced at everyone, sighed and said, "I have to say that the Americans are still more capable of finding trouble." ”
"It is a very normal strategy to stabilize a relatively weak opponent and concentrate on confronting a strong enemy, just as we paralyze Western Europe and confront the United States in other directions, and the Americans are obviously not stupid." Serov lit a cigarette to himself, took a deep breath and said, "Things are not too bad, what are you afraid of?" ”
"How can we be afraid, even if we start a war on both the east and west at the same time, we can achieve victory." Defense Minister Marshal Grechko said with a tough attitude, "They thought it would be okay to come together? Do you really think you can stand up to us? ”
"Comrade Grechko, please pay attention to your words." Brezhnev interrupted, "Things are not too bad, let Comrade Serov say first, we have not yet had to solve the problem by force." ”
"Can they still change color? Nothing can change the fact that the other side is a socialist country. Serov's face remained unchanged and said, "As long as this point remains unchanged, the matter will never be resolved by force, and we have a natural advantage." ”
"What if it changes color? What is your strategy, and who is responsible for this? Defense Minister Marshal Grechko shouted in a somewhat unpleasant voice, "Your KGB is the weakest in China, right?" ”
Serov stood up suddenly, walked to the side wall and opened the curtain, looked at the world map with his back to everyone, was silent for a while and suddenly turned back and shouted, "If the worst happens, my suggestion is to immediately go to war, take a preemptive attack with nuclear weapons, and all armies will make a surprise attack in all directions, and go to war against all bordering countries, I wonder if Comrade Grechko is satisfied with this answer?" ”
Serov, who was standing at the bottom of the world map, had an indifferent face and a serious attitude that startled everyone. Even the Minister of Defense, Marshal Grechko, did not know how to interface for a while, and the secretary of the Central Committee Andropov spoke up at this time, "Comrade Serov only explained the worst outcome, and it is obviously not the worst yet." Besides, it's not like we're out of the question. ”
"We all know it's angry talk, Jura, and let's talk about some practical advice." The chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Shelepin, eased the atmosphere and asked, "Isn't it inappropriate to respond at all?" ”
"I heard that India is seeking support for Pakistan's war effort?" Serov, who sat down again, suddenly asked the question, and both Andropov and Ustinov nodded, and then said, "Kissinger borrowed it from Pakistan, right?" This time we will teach Pakistan a lesson and support India's annexation of East Pakistan. ”
"Okay, this time we will take Pakistan and let these people know what will happen if they go against us." Ustinov was the first to agree, and Andropov thought for a while and nodded in support.
Brezhnev waited until the majority of the committee members had taken a stand, and then made a decision to let Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyko came to plan this, Serov advised, "Our support is not for nothing, we must let India annex East Pakistan, otherwise we will not support India, of course we need India's presence to remind China, not to think that we have no friends, but also to Pakistan to remember the shame, and to knock India at the right time." ”
"Another reason for supporting India is to strengthen India's international prestige, and in addition, once East Pakistan is annexed, India's domestic religious forces will be more balanced, which will bring two possibilities, one is that India's internal containment power will increase from now on, and it will not develop to the extent that it threatens us, which is convenient for our command, which is a relatively bad result. The second is that because two hostile religions coexist in the country, India may eventually choose atheism and attack both religions at the same time. It is a better result to increase the possibility of becoming a socialist country. Serov thought for a moment at this time and said, "Whatever the result, it will be beneficial to our Soviet Union......
In August, Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyko in the Indian capital of New Delhi with Indian Prime Minister Indira? Gandhi signed the Soviet-Indian Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation, and the two signatories will continue to develop and strengthen the friendly, good-neighborly and comprehensive cooperative relations between the two countries. The Parties undertake not to conclude or participate in any military alliance against the other Party, to refrain from aggression against the other Party, not to tolerate the use of their territory for any act that may cause military losses to the other Party, and not to provide any assistance to any third party participating in an armed conflict with the other Party; In the event of an attack or threat of attack by either of the High Contracting Parties, the Parties shall immediately consult with each other to eliminate such threat and take appropriate corresponding measures to guarantee peace and security between the two States; The Parties declare that they will not undertake any secret or public obligation to other States that are incompatible with this Treaty.
Indira? Gandhi thought for a long time in the Prime Minister's Office of India, and this was because of the Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyko's question, "With the current situation, if you want to retake the Northeast, East Pakistan must be annexed, otherwise you will have no road." Sikkim has the United Nations watching, it is difficult to use the brain, and India's road to the northeast is actually blocked. And across there is East Pakistan, and South Asia is a region with many ethnic groups because of historical reasons, and once East Pakistan becomes independent, it will become the first single ethnic nation state in South Asia, and they are all Bengalis, which will affect the stability of West Bengal in India. ”
"Once the Bengalis become a nation-state, whether it will contribute to the independence trend of West Bengal, this is not known, and you also know how dense the population of Bangladesh is, once it continues to grow, the problem of immigration at the border will become a big problem in the future, and with the control and management of the Indian government, this problem can be effectively delayed."
Gromyko's questions are very practical, and these are all problems that India urgently needs to face, Indira? Gandhi's hesitation stemmed from two factions in India, one for annexation and the other for Bangladesh to become independent. The two factions are at loggerheads, and the voice for Bangladesh's independence is slightly stronger, but in the end, it will be up to Indira? Which side Gandhi was on.
After a long thought, Indira? Gandhi finally made up his mind and annexed! But this required strong support from the Soviet Union, Gromyko said that there was no problem, all the armaments that the Soviet Union could provide, but the international pressure brought about by the annexation would need to be borne by India itself, and after communication, the secretary of the Central Committee in Moscow, Ustinov, began to operate a plan to arm the Indian army.
