"With the reserve currency of the United States as a weapon? The KGB should give me the relevant information, and now this is not enough! Comrade Serov, our work is supported by data and facts, do not be surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"Kosygin, the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, at the signal of Khrushchev, took the materials prepared by Serov and immediately gave his right and left hands Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Polyansky and Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Mazurov.

"Based on the available information, the gold reserves of the United States are still quite fragile. Most of the world's gold reserves are no longer in the United States, and many have been transferred to other countries, namely Britain, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Mazurov also saw the clues with the available information, looked at Kosygin and Polyansky and said.

Mazurov thought for a moment, as if asking his companions and himself, "If we were faced with such a situation, if another country had already discovered the slightest movement, how would you think you would respond if attacked?" ”

There was silence for a while, and it was necessary to put yourself in the position of the enemy. Polyansky thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the two-track system of gold prices is a good solution, but this requires the help of the Americans from Western Europe!" If that happens, the death of the Breston Woods system is a matter of time...... "The dual price system for gold refers to the system of two different prices on the official gold market and the private gold market.

"At the beginning, the United States will definitely not abandon the Breston Woods system, and any change will take time, so the United States will hold on for a few years, while looking for another item that guarantees the value of the dollar to bind." Serov stood up and walked to the side, opened the world map behind the scenes, and pointed to the national road in the Middle East, "Oil ......"

Petroleum? Brezhnev and Kosygin were stunned, and then nodded at the same time, but the two of them thought about things completely different, Brezhnev had his own strategy, in his opinion, the Soviet Union's strategic offensive direction had two, the overall industrial strength of the United States and its allies was stronger than that of the Soviet Union, but from the perspective of the comparison of resources in the country, it was not dominant. The United States is also good to say that the Western European countries belong to the position of having nothing at all, but everything has to be imported. Therefore, the Soviet Union had to attack both mineral resources and oil resources at the same time, and simultaneously attack the Middle East, the world's oil depot, and southern Africa, the world's scarce minerals.

Kosygin's consideration lies in how to resolve the strong monetary position of the United States, and the second secretary and the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers have different considerations, one is to let the ruble replace the dollar, and the other is to make the dollar lose its current status. This is a completely different consideration.

"We still need more detailed information and intelligence investigations, but one thing that is certain at the moment is that you want to wait for a country to do it first, and then give a second blow is actually not safe, I think your KGB intelligence strength, once there is a fluctuation in the gold market, or an increase in trading volume, you will definitely know immediately." Kosygin glanced at his assistants Polyansky and Mazurov, exchanged glances, and said, "My opinion is to do it at the same time." ”

"What Comrade Kosygin means is that with the intelligence of your KGB to detect this movement, we will mobilize funds to attack gold together. Politically speaking, this can be somewhat deceptive. The Americans must know that there is a shadow of the Soviet Union, but at the same time, they will also find out that the country that is working with the Soviet Union, in this case, there is external pressure to exchange, and the internal country does not know why the Soviet Union is working together, and it is very easy to be indecisive and cause a mistake in response. Brezhnev told the story, analyzed the details of all aspects like a cocoon, and asked Brezhnev to write some Marxist-Leninist anthologies, but if he was asked to imagine that kind of game, it would really be difficult for him.

"The second move can certainly avoid the risk, but at the same time, it is easy to make the enemy defensive. Jura, remember that. Brezhnev smiled gently, glanced at Kirilenko beside him very easily, and then said to Serov, "As the head of our country's security, I will give you a task, card a point in time, we are not the first to move, nor the second to move, but the first point five ......"

The first point five? Serov thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "I understand, but I hope that the energy of the United States will be involved elsewhere, and maybe a flashpoint is needed." ”

"Breaking point? It's simple, the first secretary has already decided to carry out large-scale assistance to Vietnam. When the time comes, we can support Vietnam in launching a large-scale offensive on the battlefield. Xie Leping, chairman of the Party and State Supervision Commission and secretary of the Central Committee, said confidently, "When the time comes, you will launch a tentative offensive in support of Indonesia, and if you feel that it is not enough, you will have to rely on your own efforts in other directions......

It has been a year since the US troops landed in Vietnam, and after a year, Khrushchev has long concluded that the Vietnam War will definitely turn into a quagmire similar to the Korean War, and maybe it will be even bigger. Khrushchev's non-involvement in Vietnam was based on no return, and now the quagmire of the Vietnam War is a foregone conclusion, and no one will treat it as if they did not see it.

For every ruble that the Soviet Union aided, the United States had to spend ten or even dozens of dollars more to deal with. This kind of buying and selling relationship can be seen by anyone who can count, so the aid to the Vietnam War has been started since the beginning of the year.

There are only a few routes for assistance, and the sea route takes the Atlantic-Indian Ocean-North Vietnamese Haiphong Port, and this road has to pass through many US military bases along the way, especially after crossing the Strait of Malacca, and finally entering the South China Sea, passing through Saigon and Hue, and there is also a powerful US Navy entrenched there, which is extremely risky.

By sea, the Trans-Siberian Railway will reach the easternmost point of Vladivostok, and then by cargo ship via the Sea of Japan, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea to Haiphong Port. The problem is that the U.S. Navy has blockaded the port of Haiphong with mines, surface ships and warplanes, and has also bombed the port on a regular basis. Once the cargo ships loaded with high-value weapons such as anti-aircraft missiles, fighter jets, tanks and other weapons are sunk, the losses are too great. Moreover, it is difficult for these cargo ships to escape the poisonous hands of the US Navy and Air Force, which have absolute superiority. Moreover, the United States has military bases in Okinawa, the Philippines, and Wanwan, so it can basically know every move of these cargo ships (cargo ships must pass through the strait). By land, Soviet aid, whether from Yunnan or Guangxi to Vietnam, had to cross the whole of China from north to south.

So the KGB has one more task, how to prevent the Soviet weapons loaded on the train from being unloaded by China when they are transported by land, "Lieutenant General Kibanov, this is the scope of work of your General Directorate of Traffic Management, the opponent is not an ordinary country, according to the meaning of the Central Presidium, more than 200 million rubles of military aid will enter Vietnam this year, I don't know how much in the future, but it will definitely be more and more." Your job is stressful......"

"China? Don't worry, leave it to me. There is no intelligence organization in the world that is stronger than us. Lieutenant General Kibanov, head of the General Traffic Management Bureau, said confidently.

Serov frowned slightly, and said, "You have to understand that the same socialist country is actually difficult to deal with, China's domestic control is the strongest period in history at this stage, which is also the reason why I have not carried out large-scale intelligence work, if you want to make a breakthrough, you must wait for more than ten years, at that time they will open their own openings to let us in, so your job of escorting along the way is to ensure that our aid is not lost, and do not provoke China in addition." We are the world's most comprehensive intelligence organization, but we also need to take into account the difference between home and away. ”

In the world, no matter which intelligence organization he faces, Serov is worthy of it. But that doesn't mean the KGB can be lawless, he won't go to the United States to fight the FBI, and he won't be head-on in Britain and MI6.

A year after the Soviet Union landed in Vietnam on a large scale, Indonesia finally began to free up its hands to block the United States and signed an agreement on strengthening assistance to Vietnam's defense capability. In view of the bombing of the territory of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam by American aircraft, the Soviet side declared in a joint statement issued by the Soviet Union and Vietnam: The Soviet people will fulfill their international duty towards fraternal socialist countries and, together with the allies, take measures to protect the security of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and strengthen its defense forces.

Serov needs to raise funds this year and is ready to cooperate with France to do the dollar, which is the most important thing at hand. And to start planning how to start a local counteroffensive, and where to start?

"It also wants to raise the level of tension in Southeast Asia, so that the United States will not be able to respond to our attacks in other directions, so after the situation in Indonesia has calmed down a little bit, we should ask President Sukarno to attack Malaysia, and at the same time, use Sudan as a base and go south to Congo to try to attack in the name of protecting the Congolese cross-border peoples." At the same time, to start an offensive in Southeast Asia and Africa, the momentum must be loud, and it must be done unabashedly. Start the second phase of the purge in Sudan at the same time, sort out the internal enemy! Serov and the two first deputy deputies, Bobkov and Sakhatowsky, discussed how to launch a local counteroffensive.

"Why don't we think about it in the Middle East? Do you have to go on the offensive in Africa and Southeast Asia? "Why don't we think of a way in Iraq?" said Bobkov, the first deputy chairman of the KGB. ”

"Because in Iraq we can't afford to lose, and in Southeast Asia and Africa, we already have a solid position." Serov glanced at Bobkov expressionlessly and said, "Sausage cutting tactics, first of all, you can't cut too much." (To be continued.) )
