Chapter 975: Pie in the Sky

This explosive news shook the whole of Europe, and of course the countries of Western Europe facing the Warsaw Pact were stunned by this happy event. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The four clusters of Soviet armed forces in Eastern Europe have always been a nightmare for the countries of Western Europe. The scene of tens of thousands of tanks roaring in the wake of these countries always appears in the dreams of the leaders of these countries.

So now even a single piece of news is enough for these countries to be ecstatic. Many newspapers were the first to reprint it, and in a short time it has spread throughout Europe, and there is a tendency to become more and more violent. No matter how many troops are withdrawn, even if there is only one division, it is good, the absolute disadvantage on the ground has reached the point where no matter how hard you try, you can't move back, and at this time the Soviet Union wants to withdraw its troops, which is simply pie in the sky.

"I also heard the news, and I have to say that the meeting in Zurich was very effective, and it seems that peace has really come!" The Federal Republic of Germany expanded its military to 750,000 in the 70s, maintaining NATO's second largest standing army after the United States, and the whole country was under tremendous pressure. But even so, the balance of power was completely unbalanced, and military spending became a huge expense for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Even the people of the Federal Republic of Germany laughed at themselves that once the war began, they would have to suffer two consequences, either to be occupied by the Soviet Red Army at the first time, or to be occupied by the Soviet Red Army after fierce resistance, and the final result would be the same.

This sentiment is not only in the Federal Republic of Germany, but the entire NATO camp appreciates the sincerity of the USSR at the same time, and it seems that from today onwards, the USSR has suddenly become an angel of kindness in the eyes of the media all over the world. The fact that all previous attacks on the Soviet Union did not exist in unison aroused Serov's vigilance......

"I didn't expect to be treated like Gorbachev!" Serov strained his face, and it was in the jubilant praise of the Western media that Gorbachev demolished the USSR into ruins little by little. Now the general secretary, who has received the praise, not only did not have joy in his heart, but gave birth to a feeling called disgust.

If this is so sincere, should this year's Nobel Peace Prize be considered for him, the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union? It's not impossible, is it? It's a big deal to donate nearly to remote mountainous areas, and it can also improve infrastructure.

"A little trick is a little!" Looking at the hype of the USSR in various newspapers, Serov, who got up with goosebumps, stood up.

After Federal German Chancellor Kohl made his statement, French President François Mitterrand and Italian Council of Ministers Chairman Behringer all expressed their support for the Soviet Union's decision and spoke highly of the Soviet Union's efforts for peace in Europe.

"I think that General Secretary Serov can be a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize at all." The remarks of Bellinger, chairman of the Italian Council of Ministers, have caused another heated discussion. Whether or not the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Serov seems to have suddenly become a more realistic question.

Soon, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko politely rejected this proposal, saying that the general secretary did not care about this kind of false name, but really considered for the sake of peace in Europe, etc. Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the general secretary is disgusted by this kind of question, he has money, and he is not modest to say that he is richer than any single consortium in the world, and he can't afford to disgust himself with such a bonus.

Although European countries have expressed great sincerity in this bloody drama, Serov does not want to accompany these people to act. The nomination for the so-called Nobel Peace Prize should be given to someone else.

Three days after the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper published the news of the preparation for the withdrawal, Serov officially stated the news of the withdrawal, "Bridging the gap between the two camps in Europe is something that the Soviet Union has been pursuing. A divided Europe and the world are not in the interests of all countries, and the USSR now believes that the allies in Eastern Europe are now capable of defending themselves sufficiently. ”

"Our allies are no longer the weak little partners of thirty years ago, after so many years of development, any country has enough ability to protect itself." In a televised speech to the entire Soviet Union, Serov said, "Of course, this does not mean that the Soviet Union will allow its allies to be threatened, and some countries that are hostile to the Soviet Union should not misjudge because of the good intentions of the Soviet Union. ”

"As for the timing of the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Cluster, which coincides with the implementation of the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty, we will reduce two-thirds of the troops in the Northern Cluster in Poland within two years, and arrange the belonging of these soldiers in the next few years, which does not need to be worried about either the soldiers involved or the families."

What Serov has learned over the years is not to die and to speak in ambiguous language as much as possible. The reason why the two-year period for the withdrawal of the Soviet Union's northern cluster was linked to the time of the INF Treaty through his speech was because Serov urgently needed to remove the threat of intermediate-range missiles to the Soviet Union within two years. However, it is not yet clear that Western European countries can only be enticed to exert pressure on the United States and carry out destruction as soon as possible by tying up the time of withdrawal.

As for the arrangements for the return of the northern cluster, it is even more ambiguous in the statement, and it will be resolved in the next few years? More than one year and less than nine years are called years, and at that time the Middle East must have already started fighting, and the northern cluster must still be useful.

The official statement of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union shows that the Soviet Union really wants to remove the northern cluster stationed in Poland, which, although not as large as the western cluster, is also a 300,000-strong group of troops in the second echelon of the Soviet Union's attack. Together with the Western cluster, the Federal Republic of Germany is under tremendous pressure.

"Today we have the dawn of peace!" French President Francois Mitterrand publicly praised, "This is the best news for Europe in several years, and I have made no secret of my joy that the dark clouds of war that have hung over us for decades have finally dispersed a little, allowing the warm sun to shine again on the faces of the European people." At the same time to understand the efforts of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Serov, here I must say, Comrade Serov, thank you......"

President François Mitterrand called Serov comrade in the name of a member of the Socialist Party, the French Communist Party organized a march to celebrate the past of the confrontational period and the arrival of the period of détente, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party took to the streets, and the whole of Paris was in a sea of red, and the French people happily waved their arms to express their yearning for peace.

"Rejoicing too soon, didn't you know a few decades ago that there was a man named Chamberlain who also claimed to have brought peace for a generation?" Serov snorted, but this is better, for a strong country, the best way is to solve one problem at a time, not to start two wars without being forced to do so.

A country's strong comprehensive national strength is a guarantee based on the invincible forest of the world, and the economy and military are the main indicators of its national strength, and all these positive factors existed in the Soviet Union, and Serov just broke through again in another direction.

This year, the Soviet Union is still supporting the war in Afghanistan, the civil war in Nicaragua, the civil war in Angola, and the border war in Vietnam. Now that the Angolan civil war has long been clear, the only war that is still tug-of-war is the Nicaraguan civil war. This attrition was completely bearable for the USSR. Smashed Central America, and had little effect on the USSR.

The news of the Soviet withdrawal won praise in Europe, but it had another effect in the White House. Reagan was also a very practical person, and it was very unusual for the Soviet Union to withdraw its troops on its own initiative. The United States is far away from Europe, and it will not be carried away by such joy, and it can observe the European continent more calmly. In layman's terms, it means that you don't have back pain when you stand and talk......

The Soviet Union could have continued to maintain strong pressure in Europe without withdrawing its troops, because at the time of the Zurich talks, Reagan did not put pressure on the Soviet Union on this matter, and even if he did put pressure on Serov's dead face at that time, Reagan could not figure out the thoughts of this opponent in his heart. Unexpectedly, not long after the end of the talks, this pie-in-the-sky thing happened.

There must be a reason for what happened, and Reagan also didn't believe that pie in the sky had fallen, and the big spy boss had suddenly become a pacifist? "Do you really think I'm one of the reformist communists in Europe?"

"There must be a problem in the Soviet Union, but we all know that the domestic environment in the Soviet Union is very closed, and Serov is from a powerful department, and it is not difficult to hide the real situation in the Soviet Union now, so we don't know." Reagan looked at Casey as the director of the CIA and said, "If you were the chairman of the KGB, would you be able to do that?" ”

"If we in the United States, with the capabilities of our department, we can't do it, if it's a department like the KGB, it should be possible." Casey is also completely guessing, this matter is indeed quite strange.

Reagan thought for a long time, this time longer than ever. If Serov knew Reagan's current expression, he could see at a glance that it would be similar to Brezhnev's state after a stroke. Reagan's illness was getting worse at a rate he couldn't feel on his own.

"Is it because the Soviet Union's military spending has had a major impact on the economy that the Soviet Union has to consider its real situation and withdraw one of the Soviet Union's heavy military groups in Eastern Europe." Reagan expressed his thoughts, although Operation Golden Canyon almost brought Reagan down, but militarily there is no problem at all, and at present, the Pentagon and the White House feel that the US military strength has been completely restored, but there is still a lack of confidence.

"We should test the determination of the Soviet Union to withdraw its troops, and if the withdrawal is unshakable, it is true." Weinberg Defense Minister said, but was vetoed by Reagan, at this time, France and the Federal Republic of Germany may not be on which side.
