"I'm wondering, this is an American. www.biquge.info Sweden is a neutral country and has no contradictions with the Soviet Union, and now that the confrontation is becoming more and more intense, we can avoid one opponent and avoid another, as if the United States had won, which is really ridiculous. "Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov looks like I'm old, and I don't know where the cool point of the United States is about being arrogant.

"Americans need mental energy, mobilize American self-confidence." Serov knew that the mental damage of the Vietnam War still existed so far, and in fact, it was not until the Gulf War that the Americans were completely cured of their war phobia, but there was one thing he did agree with Ustinov's idea, "What does this have to do with the United States?" it. ”

The overall strength of the Soviet bloc was inferior to that of the United States, but in the eighties, the ten-year strategic offensive was still quite capable of bluffing, not to mention that in this history, the results were large enough, at least in terms of population and control area, it was absolutely not bad. What is lacking is the scientific and technological strength of the allies and the quality of the population. If the vision is not on the world, but on the Eurasian continent, it occupies an absolute advantage.

However, even so, if the overall confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact can be transformed into a separate confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, it will still be beneficial to the Soviet Union, because the overall strength of the Warsaw Pact countries is indeed inferior to NATO, and the Soviet Union will take advantage of the United States and the Soviet Union in a separate contest.

Of course, it will not be easy to succeed in this, but from the perspective of the Soviet Union, it is a few that can be eliminated. In the event of an all-out confrontation, Serov does not think that both Britain and the United States are strong. Hating the Soviet Union also does not mean liking the United States, aren't the French still very happy to be African policemen, and seeing the United States every day looks like they are concerned with my.

Since the submarine ran aground in Swedish waters, Brezhnev had been present at meetings of the Central Presidium a little longer. With a serious attitude rarely seen in recent years, he drew up a plan for détente towards Western Europe. Whether it is useful or useless must be formulated, mainly for old Europe like France and Germany, stabilize these countries, and concentrate on dealing with Britain and the United States.

Doing it does not necessarily lead to results, and not doing it will definitely lead to no results. Although Brezhnev and Xiongcai are not close to each other, and their character is not noble, they are definitely not brain-dead. He was the most knowledgeable of the three giants of the Soviet Union at the beginning, and finally turned defeat into victory and defeated all opponents, and took sole control of the entire Soviet Union.

"Yura, see if there's any problem." Brezhnev took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. His voice was full of exhaustion, and he had to look at this response with the leaders of foreign affairs departments such as the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the KGB.

"Britain's domestic industry is not as large as that of France and the Federal Republic of Germany, and like the United States, Britain's domestic financial sector has always been strong, and Britain has been in decline since World War II. Margaret Thatcher's idea of specializing in the financial industry is similar to Reagan's, but it hurts future potential. The United States had the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan as supplements for exploitation, and Britain seemed to have a harder time sucking blood. Serov's eyes narrowed, "In terms of production capacity, separating Britain from France and the Federal Republic of Germany is a very correct choice." ”

Another factor is that France and the Federal Republic of Germany occupy a larger market than the United Kingdom, and France and Germany are the first two cores to initiate the EU, from coal and steel joint ventures all the way to the United Kingdom. Germany is the economic engine of the European Union, this is correct, Germany is in a leading position in many things, in foreign affairs, domestic coordination of countries, Germany is very important, France's influence can not be ignored, in major affairs, at least France and Germany have reached a consensus, many things can be effectively promoted, indispensable. In fact, the UK is not very interested in the integration of the European Union. However, Europe also has to take care of Britain's ideas in many political and economic affairs.

France is also based on its own reasons. France is an old capitalist country, and French was once all the rage. Although the United States and the Soviet Union came from behind by virtue of their large land and large population. But France is still trying to keep up with the pace of the United States and the Soviet Union as much as possible, managing its own one-third of an acre of land in West Africa.

"In that case, it can be done." Brezhnev said happily, "Dealing with Britain and the United States alone will reduce our pressure a lot, and we will use all our strength against Britain and the United States." ”

"The United States is going to confront them with all our might, and as for Britain, this country is far less powerful than the United States." Serov waited for the Argentine attack and tried the British with the Argentine hand. Don't forget that the Soviet Union used missiles to scare the United States for many years during the Khrushchev era.

The Soviet Union has a complete range of missiles of any type, whether it is air-to-ground or anti-ship, and it is not capable of destroying the heavy aircraft carrier battle group of the United States, but if it is used against the British aircraft carrier battle group, it is completely possible to go forward and give it a try.

"The visit will be handed over to Comrade Gromyko, and the offensive of détente against France and Germany will be adopted." Brezhnev's expression was also much more relaxed, and said, "As for Comrade Andropov, I will go to Central Asia next month to inspect, and you will go with me." ”

"No problem, General Secretary!" Andropov nodded slightly, he certainly knew what the purpose of Brezhnev's trip to Central Asia was.

Brezhnev had two purposes, he had heard about the atmosphere in Central Asia, as the general secretary of a country, Brezhnev could not be completely kept in the dark, he wanted to see the local environment for himself. Another important reason is China.

After the Soviet submarine ran aground off the coast of Sweden, Brezhnev seemed to have changed a lot, and began to appear frequently at meetings of the Presidium of the Central Committee, as if he had just come to power.

Brezhnev has already determined several inspection plans this year, including itineraries for Russia, Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia, not to mention that his energy has obviously not been able to do well in recent years, even when he has just come to power and is winning people's hearts, Brezhnev did not go to so many places to inspect at one time.

"Also, I have already read about the nomination of Comrade Aliyev for appointment to First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Comrade Aliyev was born in the KGB, and Comrade Zinev is well acquainted with him. I believe that the security cadres of the KGB system have no problem in terms of execution! At the end of the meeting, Brezhnev slowly announced a personnel appointment, "respecting the wishes of the local cadres of Azerbaijan, and issuing the official appointment two months later, giving Comrade Aliyev a certain amount of time to prepare." ”

"In that case, then the meeting is adjourned." Brezhnev's voice was still slow, but he was in good spirits.

Compared to the embarrassment that the Soviet Union encountered in Swedish waters, this year was still a great year for the Soviet Union, and the country of Pakistan had nominally disappeared. The territories were occupied by India and Afghanistan respectively, and of course the war did not stop, especially in the Indian occupation zone, where the remnants of Pakistani rebelled one after another.

Could it be that the strategic success of the Soviet Union gave Brezhnev great spiritual strength and rejuvenated the already ossified great leader? This is certainly nonsense, Brezhnev's recent plans for the country, as well as various itineraries. It made Serov think of another word, back to the light. Perhaps Brezhnev was preparing for his own aftermath.

In this case, Serov was more careful, he didn't want to be dragged away by the great leader who was about to die, it was quite scary.

A week later, Serov, in conjunction with Ustinov, proposed to the Supreme Soviet on behalf of the State Defense Committee that the General Secretary and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Chairman of the State Defense Committee, Marshal Brezhnev be awarded the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union.

The day after India and Afghanistan announced the end of the war, less than half a year before Brezhnev received the fourth Medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union, for his own safety, Serov was also shameless, insisted that Ustinov and himself jointly propose to award Brezhnev the fifth Medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union.

"Leonid? Ilyich? Comrade Brezhnev, in the course of his long work and leadership, has been doing his best to raise the motherland to a higher level, and in the era of peaceful development, Comrade Ilyich's outstanding leadership ability, meticulous work style, and broad mind are all exemplary models for all members of the Soviet Communist Party. For this purpose, on the proposal of the Minister of Defense of the USSR, Marshal Ustinov, the General Political Commissar of State Security, Marshal Serov, and the endorsement of the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Leonid ? Ilyich? Comrade Brezhnev, Hero of the Soviet Union. "Serov was not in Moscow half a year ago, and he really didn't know who had made the appointment, which was a challenging task.

Especially when I read that the chairman of the Supreme Soviet recognized that Brezhnev became a Hero of the Soviet Union, the General Political Commissar almost knotted his tongue, and last time Brezhnev himself awarded it once. But it seems that he is even more shameless this time, and after half a year, he re-proposed to award Brezhnev the Order of Hero of the Soviet Union, so that Brezhnev surpassed Marshal Zhukov and became the only person to receive the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union five times.

After Serov finished reading it, Marshal Ustinov put on the Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union for Brezhnev, and the old marshal had a serious face, obviously unable to be so shameless as the General Political Commissar. What's in it? Didn't see how happy the great leader was?

"I just did some actual work!" Brezhnev shook hands with numerous generals of the Ministry of Defense and the KGB, respectively, and was personally very satisfied with the award of the fifth Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union. He did not consider himself unworthy of this medal, under his leadership the USSR achieved no worse than the Great Patriotic War, he absolutely deserved it.

As long as you don't take the comrades of the General Political Commissar with you, the General Political Commissar swears that he will never take back the medal after he takes office. (To be continued.) )
