Chapter 329: Seven Letters
Under the cover of the identity of the first deputy chairman of the KGB, General Vasily attached great importance to the information provided by Serov, not to mention that Serov had nothing to say, this specious statement could not be faulted, and it could be guessed by the marshals of the Soviet military that the United States had the Soviet Union. People have to believe it, so what can Serov do, it doesn't matter to him.
After one question after another, Serov could only continue to make it up, "We don't know much about the specific situation, it seems to be just a statement of the US Airborne Forces, and we didn't even get specific photos, but there are such rumors that we have fed back, it seems to be a device with rocket thrust revers, sorry, Uncle Vasily, this is our incompetence!" ”
"No, enough news can be obtained from the United States, rocket thrust reversers? The KGB has done everything it can...... "The commander of the Airborne Forces, General Vasily, is the kind of soldier that the United States must have if the Soviet Union has what Serov said." As soon as he heard about this kind of experiment of airborne landing with man and vehicle, he attached great importance to it, and almost had the idea that he couldn't sit still and was about to verify it, so he finally calmed down.
As the commander of the Airborne Forces, or the commander of the most powerful Airborne Forces in the world, General Vasily certainly understands the importance of airborne landing with men and vehicles, and this is certainly not as simple as pretending to force it, and the airborne troops reach the ground and directly enter the operation, and the importance of this aspect is self-evident. It is necessary to put in paratrooper combat vehicles, and it is also necessary to shorten the time for the airborne troops to find equipment.
General Vasily received an important piece of information, albeit a forgery from Serov, who was also supported by the Airborne Forces, so that he could not worry about not reaching the roof of the world. The Soviet Union was not far from the Sino-Indian border area, and the Cuban side was the real lone army.
Telling this news to the commander of the Central Asian border guards, General Kudryash, meant that he let go and prepare, Serov went directly back to Lubyanka Square, he needed to assess the war. In memory, the times of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the border war do not coincide exactly. The Cuban Missile Crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union lasted only thirteen days, while the border war lasted more than a month, until November.
As the head of the Soviet National Security Council in this era, Serov needs to understand the purpose of both sides of the war, needless to say on the Indian side, the powerful powers are ready to force China to make concessions and reforms, and if Nehru really uses the war to gain prestige, India will definitely not become a joke in the future, at least it is much more reliable than Moody's Dafa.
Here's the problem. Why choose China, how strong is China not than that Pakistan? According to Serov's idea, beating Pakistan twice more to brush up his prestige can also take back the rights of the various princely states. Nehru's daughter took back all the rights of the princely states in the seventies by beating Pakistan's prestige, why couldn't Nehru do that?
Nehru really couldn't do that, and it had something to do with India's role as the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, which was in the Non-Aligned Movement. Arab countries account for a large proportion, and religious reasons are also involved. Let Nehru not gain prestige by beating Pakistan. So he chose China, where logistics and troops were limited. And that's it.
Nehru, who feels good about himself, is not the object of Serov's attention, and if the war is won, you are the leader of the third world, the leader of the non-aligned countries, and the Soviet Union must look down on you, and everything must give face to India, which has a strong influence in the third world countries. But if you lose, you're nothing, and your reputation is gone. Just wait for the United States and the Soviet Union to make a decision after they finish their own affairs.
The object of his attention is his homeland in his previous life, and everything should be seen in the context of China's statements during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which were almost hoarsely in support of the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, coupled with the border war of the same period. Considering the problem from the standpoint of the Soviet Union at this time, Serov can conclude that China hopes that the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States over the Cuban affair will be a little longer. When the Cuban Missile Crisis is over, the border war is over, is it so peace-loving? Are you kidding? And not because the USSR and the United States were already empty-handed.
It seems that the biggest winner of the Cuban Missile Crisis, in addition to Cuba, should be the motherland of the previous life? After linking the two events, Serov knocked on the table and came to his own judgment, there is no doubt that in the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis, China did take advantage of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, although the textbooks of his previous life did not write so.
What if the confrontation between the United States and the USSR in Cuba lasted a little longer? Will China continue the war? From a practical point of view, this is quite possible, and judging from the statement on the Cuban missile crisis, China has a sense of fear that the Soviet Union will not have confidence in it.
"The USSR will not be used in vain!" Serov, who was holding a pen and drawing an unknown pattern on the paper while thinking, peeled back the cocoon on this basis and found the essence of the problem, so that he could clearly understand the goal of his plan. Suddenly, he broke the pen in his hand, and Serov sat up abruptly and said to himself, "Can't the Soviet Union take advantage of the victory of the allies in the same camp to force the Americans to make concessions?" The longer it drags on, the worse India will lose, and the Americans are not worried about the expansion of China's power at all? ”
You must know that in this era, the most radical slogan was not shouted by the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union even gave China nuclear facilities, and when the time came, it was leaked to the Americans, so that they could hold themselves hostage and force the United States to retreat, which was a particularly advantageous bargaining chip for the Soviet Union, anyway, the longer it was, the more China would get, and the Americans were not as keen as India, and they discovered the filthiness between China and the Soviet Union early on, at least on the surface, China and the Soviet Union were still allies.
If the stalemate in Cuba had lasted too long, the Soviet Union would have been nothing, but China would still not have been as strong as the Americans wanted to see.
Asked Isemotny to bring a border area on the roof of the world, Serov looked at it for a long time and lightly pointed his finger on the position of Sikkim, which is the key point of this war, and the route of India's eastward advance will be blocked if he takes it. At the right time, this would have been an ideal location for Soviet airborne. If it weren't for secrecy, Serov would have wanted to borrow a little airborne troops from ****, and the airborne troops he absorbed in his hands were less than a thousand, which could only play a leading role.
Contrary to popular belief, Southeast Asia is actually culturally closer to India, whether it is Myanmar or Thailand and other countries, even Indonesia, India's cultural influence is greater than China's. If you want to get closer to the Persian Gulf, you have to fight with Pakistan, and Pakistan is pro-American, and India can only turn to the Soviet Union for help, because he has no choice.
No religious state would be an ally of the Soviet Union, and if possible, Serov would have to build a circle of atheistic states around the Soviet Union, and if India hoped to destroy Pakistan, the Soviet Union would help him achieve that goal.
"Now it's time for me to talk to our Asian comrades!" Serov put the broken pencil on the side, with the supply conditions of the roof of the world, it will take at least half a year to prepare for a border war, from the reconnaissance plane he has already discovered the supply line, and now Serov wants to test it in his personal name to see what the other side will react.
After writing a letter in Chinese characters, after all, it has been a long time, and the level of writing Chinese characters has dropped a lot due to the habit of writing Russian, but at least he can still read it, anyway, he is not a calligrapher in the first place, he picked up the phone and called Lukani in, Serov gave this task, "Lukani, go to Almaty, and deliver the letter to the place where it should be delivered through our channels...... "Compared with ordinary subordinates, he still trusts the woman he sleeps with."
A week later, Serov's tentative letter of inquiry was replied to, and when he opened it, Serov was amazed, because it was calligraphy and looked a little laborious. There were some scenes written on it, but some tentative language made Serov very alert, and he recalled that in the last letter he seemed to have said something about national security, intelligence, etc., and now it seems that he has leaked his profession a little.
Ignoring these tentative words, Serov wrote a reply directly, this time stating that the Soviet Union had discovered the movements on the roof of the world and knew much more than China. And the USSR had no ill will.
Serov spent a month from July to August in this kind of correspondence and reply, both sides cautiously probing, and in all fairness he did not know who he was facing, but he should be a very high-ranking person. The letters between the two sides became faster and faster, and the last time Serov directly stuffed the information on the supply location of the Indian Army into the letter, and directly wrote, "We have our goals, you have your goals, comrades can cooperate with each other, but don't try to turn against me, this is the last correspondence between us, I am a Soviet......"
"We can be sure that this man has a lot of experience in counter-espionage, and from his words, we can determine that this person is a security cadre, judging by the words in the letter, this Soviet comrade has good intentions towards us, so it is worth believing!"
"I didn't expect that among the big brothers, there is a security cadre who knows us so well, I wonder if we should be happy?" The two men in the room discussed it for a while with a thick local accent, and finally stopped the conversation.
In fact, Serov did the same thing as the traitors who died at his hands with Pinkovsky and Pyotr Popov, the difference is that he did not betray the Soviet Union, but these letters still could not be kept, and he would burn them every time he replied to them, leaving no evidence. As for the future, let Lukani stay in Almaty for a month, see if there is any follow-up, if there is a direct burning of the letter, and close the correspondence channel. Serov, who was in charge, was transferred to other posts, and as the first deputy chairman in this regard, he was very vigilant, and he did not dare to joke with his life.
Any mistake can be forgiven, once this mistake is discovered, his fate will not be much better than Pinkowski's people, thank God if he does not link his wife and children, he will not take any more risks if something big happens in the future. (To be continued.) )
