Chapter 528: The Turning Point of the Dollar

"Waiting is the only way, but I am more worried that people, including Semychasny, as well as Shurik, think that Brezhnev is not a bad person. "This was said by Serov after the departure of Yegorechev after the congress, during which Kosygin'www.biquge.info s speech in the Presidium of the Central Committee was intensified. Serov was very afraid that Shelepin would miscalculate.

"I'll warn Shurik to pay attention, but just take a look. What are your thoughts? Yegorechev nodded.

"Me?" Serov suddenly stopped and stood in place for a moment and said, "I need to prepare for a counteroffensive, the Vietnam War will definitely not end in a short period of time, and the United States will not be able to settle Vietnam within a year, which is doomed to the end of this war." Maybe the Americans will not admit defeat in a short time, but it is better this way, and the longer the US government holds out, the more serious the consequences will be. After the end of the Vietnam War, it was an opportunity for us to counterattack......"

"How are you going to do that?" Egorechev asked the question he wanted to ask. He felt as if Serov had been waiting for this day for a long time, it was just a feeling, unfounded.

"It has been 20 years since the end of World War II, and our country has been suppressed by the United States for 20 years, and all this should be over. In two years' time I will develop a series of plans to détente with our allies and concentrate on waiting for the day of the counteroffensive. Serov had a smile on his face called a cold smile, and although he was laughing, he felt a bad premonition.

Serov has always been careful in his layout, and for more than ten years he did not dare to slack off for a day, reminding himself not to forget how dangerous it is to have a country across the ocean. And now, he was in a kind of darkness called pre-dawn, and he could clearly feel that the turning point was waiting for him not far ahead.

"It's not far away, I can feel it." In his own office at the headquarters of the Lubyanka KGB, Serov stood by the window, his eyes fell on the bronze statue of Dzerzhinsky in the middle of the square, and he muttered to himself in a firm tone.

"I will not let you go, history has proven that even if you are separated by a Pacific Ocean, you cannot guarantee your own safety, and if you want to solve the threat, you should solve the source of the threat. Wait, when the offense and defense are out of position, you will taste the power of the combination of Chinese layout and Soviet crushing. ”

This time, the Soviet Union was more well prepared, it had already taken many detours at home, its reputation in the international community was quite good, and it was able to squander it for at least a while, and the Communist Party of Western Europe was still strong and could contain the policies of some countries. Britain's Cambridge Five Masters did not leak out, and the KGB's commercial layout was guaranteed by the concealment of intelligence work, and it was almost completed.

On the Turkish side, the National Security Council of the USSR and the National Security Council of Bulgaria cooperated to infiltrate Turkey, the largest minority in Bulgaria, the Turks, who were holding the Dardanelles. The Greek Communist Party reintegrated, albeit restrictively, but at least regained its legitimacy. The Kurdish Communist Party has been established and is training in training camps in Armenia. Relations between Syria and the Soviet Union were progressing steadily.

On the Iraqi side, the Iraqi Communist Party appeared to be getting smaller and smaller on the surface, but in fact it had become an underground party, and Serov found Communist intelligence services in more than a dozen countries, even instructors from North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and China, to infiltrate members of the Iraqi Communist Party in Azerbaijan, hoping that the Iraqi Communist Party could conceal its strength and bring the Middle Eastern oil-producing country into the Soviet system at a critical moment.

Coupled with Egypt's layout, the ideal situation for the future direction of the Middle East is that Egypt, Syria, and Iraq serve as the strategic fulcrum of the Soviet Union in the Middle East, so that Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran can be suppressed from any direction. What's more, coupled with the geographical advantages of the Soviet Union, as long as the United States declines, the Soviet Union will be able to open up a way out to the south.

The world's three golden waterways, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Malacca, the Panama Canal, and the Suez Canal, were within the Soviet Union's radiation range, and at least part of the Strait of Malacca was under the influence of Indonesia under the support of the Soviet Union. Only the Panama Canal was completely inaccessible to the USSR. That is, at least half of the three important waterways were under Soviet influence.

In South Asia, as in history, India and Pakistan began to actively move closer to the Soviet Union during the Second Indo-Pakistani War because of warnings from the United States and China. If necessary, Serov will detonate the powder keg that has already been surveyed, and let Afghanistan and India flank the north and south to destroy Pakistan.

In Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union helped President Sukarno to secure his position, and Indonesia's success in joining the Economic and Mutual Economic Association showed Serov's complete victory, at least to quell Indonesia's own economic problems, and Indonesia would become a major point of attack for the Soviet Union.

Serov is waiting for the United States to leak out its economic problems, of course, the KGB has been accumulating funds and is also preparing for this: "Actually, it's time to get back all my money in the world in the past few years, the Breston Woods system has begun to crumble, and I can't watch my money being diluted more and more." ”

This year, Serov did only one thing, and that was to take advantage of the fact that the dollar was still the last year of the dollar, and to withdraw all the gold that could be withdrawn from the United States. At this time, the United States and the American plutocracy held a total of about 7. 5.3 billion ounces of gold are held by the Federal Reserve (deposited in the continental United States), Citigroup, JPMorgan, Chase, First Boston, and the Americas. (Stored worldwide, mainly in Switzerland). At that time, 1 ounce of gold = 35 dollars. This exchange rate is guaranteed by the U.S. government.

In other words, any bank can hold the dollar from the Fed against gold. As long as the short-term debt balance of the United States does not exceed $26.3 billion, and the dollar circulating around the world does not repatriate in large quantities, the credibility of the dollar is unbreakable. It has been 22 years since the U.S. plutocracy overthrew all the challengers and dominated the entire free world, at least at that time, the confident U.S. believed that the U.S. plutocracy they had established would last for a thousand more years. But since the fifties, the widening trade deficit in the United States has led to the growing number of dollar assets held by old European consortia. The old European capital, which had suffered heavy losses in World War II and had been temporarily dormant, had gradually recovered.

How to say that the KGB is also an intelligence agency, monitoring the world's news, from food to production capacity, which naturally includes gold, the question now before Serov is actually not complicated at all, that is, to be the first challenger or the country that will defeat the Breston Woods system in the last hand while the Breston Woods system is still working.

In fact, almost all European economic powers have discovered that the United States has over-issued currency because of the Vietnam War, but France is indeed the first country to jump out and attack the dollar. Of course, it was easy for the United States to level out France, but then Britain, which controlled a quarter of the trading market, became the second challenger, and in the end, the industrial Federal Republic of Germany ended the Breston Woods system.

But after the United States weakly resisted the backlash, it began to survive the most difficult period with its own national strength, and finally found Middle Eastern countries to bind oil to the dollar, replacing the dollar with a new petrodollar.

"If the first one makes a move, the Americans will definitely know that it is the USSR, which is not good." Serov could not take the enemies of the Soviet Union as fools, and the Americans would certainly find out the source of such a large flow of funds. Once the Americans know that the money came from the Soviet Union, will this matter become a political issue? If the Soviet Union had acted first, it would not have been a purely economic issue. In the unlikely event that Britain, France, and Germany helped the United States defend itself against an attack, it would be worth the loss.

So he must not be the first to strike, and Serov felt that he should wait for the time when de Gaulle could not bear it anymore and start challenging the dollar, and see if the United States still has any spare energy to plan.

First of all, after the three offensives of France, Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States could not resist declaring the collapse of the Breston Woods system, and the Soviet Union was rushing forward at that time, and there might be nothing. Ideally, the second and third hands will do, but not the last one, otherwise you won't even be able to drink the soup.

"If you think about it this way, the safest thing is to start at the same time as the UK, and then let the Federal Republic of Germany finish it. In any case, all the dollars should be concentrated, and at the same time there must be a breakthrough in the Middle East direction to prevent the formation of petrodollars, and if they cannot be stopped, they should be limited to Saudi Arabia. Serov knew very well that Saudi Arabia was a country that the Soviet Union could not co-opt, and first of all, the Soviet Union would not allow Saudi capital to exist in its own country, which was determined by the nature of the country. The United States could do this, but the Soviet Union could not.

"It's an order to find a way to get more and more dollars in a year." Serov gave orders to the KGB industry around the world, and at the same time made a report on the matter and submitted it to the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, where Serov was ready to speak, but without the right to vote.

"Although the plan is a bit rough, I have already written the premise of the plan, if there is a European economic power to do it first, it will prove that my idea is not wrong, and we can do it later, so that we can avoid risks to the greatest extent. When the time comes, I will need the support of the Presidium of the Central Committee. Serov said this in front of all the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR.
