Chapter 838: The Great Powers of the Chicken Thieves
"When are you leaving?" Serov looked at the time on his wrist and asked, "Just give me a month, and the resistance of the regular Pakistani army will disappear, and the guerrilla war will give the Indians a headache themselves." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I'll go to China tomorrow, after all, Alexander? Haig has gone, and I must go too, Gromyko is organizing a conference on the Asian security system in Jakarta, and now only I can take the place of foreign minister. Andropov also felt a great responsibility, sighed and said, "We and China will never be on the same beat, what can you do." ”
"There's nothing I can do but tell the truth. Comrade Ustinov is preparing for the Mongolian army, which can be terminated as long as China stays out of the way. If not, some of the troops withdrawn from the West Bayi may be stationed in Mongolia. Serov took off his gloves and put them in his pocket and said, "It's not ten years ago, the cohesion is completely different, and I hope China will make the right judgment." Because the empty check issued by the United States is not beneficial to go against the traditional allies, give me a few more years to get Yugoslavia, and we will be able to vacate hundreds of thousands of troops. ”
"Northeast India is a powder keg, that small area, there are nearly 200 million Indians, if I remember correctly, there was a rumor that the Chinese said that once the Soviet Union attacked China, they would flood Siberia with a huge population, not to mention that we were never prepared to attack China, China's occupation of the northeast of India is now only 10 million people, and on the other side of the border in Bengal, India, there are 200 million people. If China really has the courage to attack India, it will certainly not be India that will be submerged, and China will wait for an extra 200 million people to eat. "Serov found that the population can really scare people.
There is a saying that when you have nothing, you still have a life. After this war is over, the world's most populous country will be replaced, and India's population will surpass China and become the world's most populous country. Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing, the population of South Asia will be more explosive, but this population bomb will not blow up the USSR, and the General Political Commissar does not care.
At the same time, the Soviet Union was not a country of immigrants, it was countries like Britain and the United States that should be worried. Unqualified immigrants are not a benefit, but a big drag, and once India takes out Pakistan, India's domestic contradictions will become more acute. It is impossible to predict the future, at least the history of South Asia is completely different.
"Indira Gandhi is really impressive this time, refusing the mediation of all countries, and even Reagan threatened to teach India a lesson, and this iron lady can bear it." Andropov shook his head in surprise and said that India's determination this time, not to mention that other countries did not believe it, also exceeded the expectations of the Soviet Union.
"Once a woman is a leader, it is really frightening, fortunately Margaret Thatcher is not the president of the United States, and Britain's national strength is far inferior to ours, otherwise it may be more of a headache than Reagan." Serov said with a thankful expression, "Until the blood of the Indians is drained, we, the Soviet Union, will never surrender." ”
Andropov smiled silently, as if mocking the discipline of the General Political Commissar. This is a phrase that has been ridiculed by others for Prime Minister Churchill, and has been repeatedly mentioned for decades, even in India itself. Even if the last Indian dies, the British Empire will not give in, but this sentence was frequently picked up by Serov.
In fact, the time to start in '81 is just right, and Pakistan is currently under military control when the military junta is in power, and it is completely bad if it is not the lack of capacity of the military junta, nor if the military junta is in power. The junta's greatest weakness is its lack of legitimacy. Once there is a great change, such as losing a war. If the junta can't even protect the country, its overthrow is almost immediate. The example of Greece from a few years ago is still fresh in my mind.
How long the Pakistani junta can hold out, Serov is not very optimistic. If the war is lost, and the Pakistanis do not know how to make trouble, India's annexation of Pakistan is doomed.
After chatting for a while, Serov told Andropov to be safe and said that he was willing to wait for good news in Moscow.
The 1 August military exercise in the West has been suspended and terminated, and the troops of the Warsaw Pact have returned home one after another. All 850,000 troops returned to their homes and were ready for battle. At the same time, the Soviet Union issued a note expressing the hope that European countries and the Soviet Union would work together to maintain world peace.
The Soviet Union meant to threaten Western Europe by military means and to make Western European countries refrain from taking a stand on the Indian issue.
The United States responded by holding NATO military exercises to confront the impact of the Soviet Union's August 1 exercises.
Poof! Serov almost spit the water he had just drunk on the newspaper, is the focus still on Western Bayi? Isn't it a tripartite war between India and Pakistan and Afghanistan in South Asia? Not the frequent appeals of the Pakistani junta?
Why did NATO countries remember the August 1st incident in the West again at this time? And? Serov's eyes narrowed, this trick was very familiar, if I remember correctly, he had used it himself. Pretending to be very busy, pinned down by his opponent, although he really wants to help his allies, he really can't let go.
That's right, it was two years ago, when China pressed Vietnam to the ground and rubbed it, the Soviet Union was like this, making a very busy appearance in Iran and constantly giving the United States eye medicine, avoiding the embarrassment of facing China head-on.
Learn from me? Did you pay royalties? Western Europe is certainly not ready to shed blood and sacrifice for the Americans, anyway, at the moment the USSR does not do anything to the Western Europeans, as for other directions, that is the obligation of the Americans, and it has nothing to do with our old Europe.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said that the free world was not afraid to confront the Soviet Union. The USSR should be immediately made clear that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was by no means an ornament. And announced the start of NATO exercises in mid-July.
The Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other countries responded one after another, saying that the free world would never be afraid of the Soviet threat and that they must immediately respond to the Soviet Union's Western August 1 exercises.
The Soviets also responded-for-tat, saying that the Western August 1 exercise was only suspended, and that the second phase would also begin in mid-July, and that the Soviet armed forces had the determination and ability to crush any threat and bury the enemy with steel and fire.
"Margaret Thatcher chose an opponent that can never be defeated, Britain is just a small island on the edge of the world, how to confront the most powerful country in the world!"
"The Soviet Union was nothing more than a union of policemen, military men and liars, built on lies, and the free world would never allow ourselves to be enslaved." Mrs. Thatcher's tough attitude declared that Reagan had relieved the current embarrassing scene, and soon Reagan and Mrs. Thatcher sang and harmonized, saying that they wanted to teach the Soviet Union a lesson in Europe.
But why teach the Soviet Union a lesson in Europe, and not against the weaker India? Because once India is taught, it is a real war, and in Europe and the USSR confrontation is just an exercise that looks a lot like war. The latter only needs to make a play, while the former needs dead people. In the unlikely event that the Soviet Union sold its kidney to India, Britain and the United States would have fallen into an even bigger quagmire.
This proves that the global strategic struggle for the Soviet Union planned by Brezhnev is a correct choice. Confrontation with NATO in Europe with military force, and capture in other directions through military and economic assistance. As long as the world's energy and mineral bases are controlled, the industrial heroes of Western European countries can be useless.
If Brezhnev had lived to be 100 years old and had been in power for a few more decades, he might have really been able to endure the success of cutting sausages little by little from apricots, but unfortunately the willpower of the great leader was not very good, first of all, he could not control his body, he could not do all the maintenance work required by the doctors, and it was useless to plan anything.
Moreover, Brezhnev had a policy both externally and internally, cutting off Sherepin, who should have a very good age advantage in the Soviet Union, and causing great losses within the Soviet Union. He just did a hundred things very well, and letting the old man control the Soviet Union alone could wipe out all his benefits.
The Warsaw Pact and NATO opened up positions to accuse each other, and it is obvious that they want to confront Europe once. The center of the world media shifted from the war between India and Pakistan to the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, and soon Reagan visited France and once again threw out the argument of evil empire, pointing out that the existence of the Soviet Union as a state is the source of all world problems.
This remark caused great displeasure in the Soviet Union, and even Brezhnev believed that Reagan was not a qualified leader and had no benefit other than to exacerbate the emergency with his rhetoric.
It was at this time that Andropov returned from China and returned to the Kremlin to report on the visit.
"China did not promise us, nor did it promise the United States. But before I returned, I heard talk that China was moving troops from the Northern Military Region to support Pakistan. But I don't know if this statement is true or false. Andropov said with some uncertainty that if it was true, it would be very bad for the Soviet Union.
"No, China is just making the appearance of asking for assistance, and it will take at least a month to transfer troops from the northern military region to the southwest region, and Pakistan is now under attack from the north and south, and it is very likely that it will not be able to hold out for a month." Serov shook his head and said, "And the transfer of troops from the north itself is to relieve the pressure on us, and China is just playing a show from morality." ”
The world's major powers are more than a chicken thief, and they all make it look like I'm busy, otherwise they must be involved, but it is not soft.
The confrontation between Britain and the United States and the Soviet Union in Europe was itself to avoid getting caught up in it, and so did China's considerations. (To be continued.) )
