Chapter 920: Imperialism is not united
Even if it is mentioned, the general secretary will not agree, there are billions of people in Eurasia, Serov is not worried that tens of thousands of real Communist Party members and internationalists will not be able to fight in Nicaragua, the key is that the matter is not serious to that extent. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Central America is too far from the Soviet Union and very close to the United States.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, just like Europe's medium-range missiles, if the Soviet Union were completely dismantled, of course, it would suffer a big loss in terms of quantity, but on the other hand, the Soviet Union's medium-range missiles could not hit the United States mainland. The medium-range missiles of the United States in Europe could reach the Soviet Union, and it was better to dismantle them. After the treaty was signed, it was a big deal to seize the favorable side and declare itself the winner.
The same is true of Nicaragua, which is not a place that must be defended to the Soviet Union, but for the United States, where a second Cuba has appeared so closely, it must be dealt with with all its might. Because the level of threat is different. What's more, Nicaragua is so close to the Panama Canal, which of course makes it difficult for the United States to sleep.
In addition, in the confrontation in Central America, the Soviet Union could gather the entire forces of the socialist camp against a single country of the United States, and not the entire capitalist camp. Central America was not at all important to the old imperialist powers of Europe, and if they were to make any moves in the Warsaw Pact in Europe, they would have to let the Soviet Union know what capitalist solidarity was. But Central America is different, and the old imperialists have not yet been so generous as to support the United States in a confrontation under the nose of the United States.
If the United States can't even settle its doorstep, it can only be suspected by its friends, anyway, the Cold War has been going on for 40 years, and it seems that this kind of back-and-forth game will continue. The economic situation of the United States in recent years has been very good, and it has also given these European allies a sense of confidence that the United States should be able to repel the Soviet attack on their own doorstep.
Soon the General Secretary received a collection of statistics on the countries of the socialist camp excluding China, which were expected to form the basis for the distribution of aid to Nicaragua by the Soviet Union.
The socialist camp, with a population of several billion, is still unable to figure out how to help a small Central American country with more than 3 million people? It's a joke to say, but I didn't see the value of this small country before. Plus the USSR has always had more important areas to fight for.
Latin America was the last place to be considered in the Soviet Union's global strategy, with the least amount of money and energy, on the contrary, the KGB attached great importance to the whole place and has always been an important source of KGB wealth. In this way, the Soviet Union, on the contrary, also received a lot of benefits from Latin America.
"Iraq for oil, Iran for chemicals, GDR and Czechoslovakia for machinery. Romania provided a shipment of military vehicles, Bulgaria a shipment of medical equipment, and Mongolia provided 2,000 tons of meat and dairy products. Hungary provided 5,000 tons of food, and Finland provided a number of communications equipment. Poland? Let's help with a batch of apples. ”
While thinking about the layout of the entire socialist camp and what areas each country is good at, Serov made a reference, "In terms of jungle warfare, let Vietnam form a group of military advisory groups for jungle warfare, and similarly Thailand and Indonesia can also consider it, and the North Korean side can form an advisory group for mountain warfare, and Albania and Yugoslavia are not suitable to join for the time being." ”
"Indonesia also needs to add rubber to the aid, as well as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. Sri Lanka will provide a batch of tea, right? Tell those countries that have defined their country as socialist in the name of their country or in their constitution that they are now in the spirit of internationalism, is it necessary to do a little bit? Serov gave the task indicators to the head of the Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the USSR.
In the ten years of the Soviet Union's strategic offensive, it supported a number of countries with the same system as the Soviet Union, such as Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Afghanistan, but in some places the Soviet Union also understood the difficulties and retreated, but a number of countries were also affected by the momentum of the Soviet Union, and many countries appeared in the name of socialism or defined themselves in the constitution. Position one's own country as socialist in the fundamental law of one's own country, such as India.
The Baath Party socialism of President Assad in Syria, Arab socialism in Egypt, and Sri Lanka are also one of them, and the socialist nature of these countries was recognized by the Soviet Union during the Khrushchev era, and Brezhnev also had no objections, of course, this is also one of the crimes of the Soviet Union called Soviet revision.
Compromise with the status quo is Su Xiu, but at least Serov has not heard Su Xiu's accusations in the past few years. Times have changed, and it is easy for the Soviet Union to slap itself in the face, of course, the socialist countries that are really of the same heart as the Soviet Union are still the ones of the Soviet system. That is, members of the Eastern European and Asian security system.
The things that the Soviet Union demanded from the allies were not a burden to them. Not to mention that the Soviet Union itself wanted to take the lion's share, but for a small country with a population of three million, this was a huge amount of wealth.
If it weren't for the fact that some of the allies were not very rich, the general secretary would have wanted the socialist brothers in Africa to come out and make some contributions, such as Angola, Mozambique, Madagascar, Benin, and so on. Eventually, these countries received Moscow's request to make Nicaragua feel the warmth of internationalism, no matter what they offered, even if it was a local product.
During the tug-of-war between the international tribunal for more than two months, the Central Liaison Department of the Soviet Union continued to look for supporters, and even Democratic Yemen, which was fighting a war with North Yemen, did not let go, and provided 10 tons of table salt. In exchange, the Soviet Union gave South Yemen twenty-five T62 tanks to complete the deal.
"Let me show you the unity of socialism, Reagan, when you are a country facing the whole camp, you know how much pressure the Soviet Union was under in the early days of the Cold War." General Secretary Serov is also very happy to be able to gather so many countries against the United States, and in the same way, for Britain, France and Germany, which have nothing to do with themselves, the General Secretary must say that it is time to show a wave of peace.
The most suitable country to win over is France, Britain is a natural-stirring stick, and the Federal Republic of Germany is on the front line of the Cold War, because of its direct relationship with the Soviet Union, its status is higher than that of Japan. A little more autonomy, but also limited, France is different. Although the French Communist Party was always targeted by all parties in the second round of elections because of its two-round election system, it was indeed the largest party in the second round. The president of the flowing water and the speaker of the parliament who beat the iron are talking about the French Communist Party......
"To take action against Europe, the root of the problem lies in France, as long as France has good intentions, there is always hope for the future westward expansion!" Serov said to Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko.
The reason why the Federal Republic of Germany looks like an independent country more than Japan is that the French have to thank them. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, de Gaulle concluded that once a world war really broke out, it was hard to say whether the selfish character of the Americans would care whether the Europeans would live or die. You must know that many countries persuaded the United States to negotiate at that time, but Kennedy still chose confrontation.
Because of the world war in Cuba, but Europe needs to face the Soviet tank army? This is where the Europeans were dissatisfied during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Europeans considered themselves important, and the Americans thought that Cuba's nuclear missiles were important. It is similar to the attitude of Britain, France and Germany towards the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in Nicaragua. Each makes a judgment based on his or her own situation.
For many years, Serov has always wanted to decide the outcome of a war, but he has always restrained his thoughts, openly and implicitly saying that Europe is not important at all, and that Europe alone will be relaxed and attacked in other directions. It was to remove the threat of medium-range missiles to the Soviet Union, but on the surface it was necessary to pretend that the Soviet Union had a great advantage and that the missiles were twice as large as those of the other side.
"We can promise France, after the discontinuation of medium-range missiles, that the nuclear weapons of both sides will not be pointed at each other, and this is the real détente!" Serov looked like a pacifist, and the corners of Gromyko's mouth twitched unnaturally.
The foreign minister, who had the nickname of a robot, was not so frivolous in the end, and nodded silently, "After all the medium-range missiles are destroyed, this is just a superficial statement, after all, our tank army is the strongest land force in the world, and after stabilizing France, it will be easier to give full play to our land advantages." ”
This is nothing more than a statement that can stabilize France and at the same time give full play to the advantages of the Warsaw Pact's conventional forces. Gromyco's voice is direct, but? Serov looked at the other party for a moment with the eyes of yours that would easily be fired, and said, "That's it! "The image of a pacifist is still not suitable for the big secret service chiefs.
Of course, Gromyko would not rush to the door to negotiate, he still needed a natural opportunity. For example, in the next negotiations on medium-range missiles, the French will be given a little bit of a mouth.
Serov is like a bomb disposal expert, who decided to look for loopholes in the capitalist camp that is not very united, and pull out a few countries to talk about cooperation! Shouldn't consciousness and form be the chasm between the Soviet Union and the capitalist camp, don't you see that there is a Soviet camp and a market economy country? Otherwise, Serov is sick and makes a bunch of mixed economy countries, which are easy to be infiltrated by the Soviet Union, is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is important to show the old imperialism in Western Europe, which can be discussed.
For Serov, a believer in the theory of the establishment of socialism in one country, this is not a matter of principle. It is also good for you to play the market economy and the Soviet Union to play the planned economy, but other countries must ensure that the planned economy of the Soviet Union is supplemented.
The steamers that departed from various ports in Eurasia to Nicaragua instantly made Reagan feel the pressure, and the flags of dozens of countries were seen by the Americans, and there was a feeling that he was the villain.
What displeased Reagan the most was that European countries did not mean to help the United States, and what about the good capitalist solidarity?
