Chapter 637: Li Duan Visits the Soviet Union
Of course, it is stronger, the last time the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe came to London was in 1956, at that time, the British colonial capital had not yet been eaten, similar to Russia two or three years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and there was also a process of decline. www.biquge.info Britain was a quasi-first-class country other than the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, and it was much stronger than France and Germany, which had just healed their wounds. Britain's complete decline was around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the colonies had already eaten up, and they could not compete with the United States and the Soviet Union.
It can be said that the current number one power in Western Europe is not Britain, but France, whether Algeria is in the territory of France or not, today France is still the African policeman in French Africa, and the currencies of more than a dozen countries are controlled by the French, 60 years ago Lenin said that France is usury imperialism, and today this situation has not changed, and people are still well-known usury imperialism, which is higher than the British Isles.
In 1970, the Soviet Union already had the strength of an all-out strategic offensive, five years earlier than in history, and if it were not for the fear of lack of stamina and the inability to shoot the Americans to death at one time, Serov would certainly have found a way to stir up Brezhnev's détente policy, and now it needs an opportunity, that is, although the Soviet Union has been fiercely catching up, so far there has been no large-scale economic crisis in the West, that is, although the internal conditions have been met, the external environment is still a little worse.
The Breston Woods system tied the hands and feet of the Americans, not as fast as the petrodollar of later generations, and also played a stabilizing role, although the dollar crisis appeared frequently, but the economic crisis of this scale did not hurt the NATO bloc, so the Soviet Union still needs to wait a few years, take the current oil price as an example, a barrel of 2.5 dollars, this is the price that NATO artificially lowered for economic development, the world's oil prices are in the hands of the seven major oil companies.
Of course, the Middle Eastern countries cannot accept this price, which is not much more expensive than water, but they have no way to oppose it. This needs an opportunity for them to vent their anger, and as long as the next war breaks out in the Middle East, the Arab countries will definitely seize this opportunity, and this does not even need to be provoked by the Soviet Union, these countries have been waiting for this day for a long time.
"We have only one enemy, and this island nation is no longer in our sights, and it can no longer catch up." Serov looked at Tsvigon next to him and said with a smile, "If you have time, you should contact the Ministry of Culture more, the intellectuals in this department are always not reassuring." ”
"I understand, I know what is going on." Tsvigon's attitude was very clear, saying that he was an expert in the affairs of the writers' group, and Serov remembered that the deputy chairman of the KGB was actually better than his ability to write novels in the field of security, and he was actually a consultant for many anti-special films in the Soviet Union.
The visit performance of the Alexander Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe is not only in the UK, this time the communication of the Ministry of Culture is a big country in the whole of Western Europe, Britain, France and Germany are among them, but then the thing is what Zvigon said, Serov and Fortseva will return to Moscow after the trip to the UK, both of them are the head of the department, it is impossible to float outside for too long.
After the performance, Serov stood up and left the theater, the chorus of the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe was like a rainbow, and every time I listened to it, I had a feeling of wanting to go to war, that feeling of blood boiling, which I would not understand without experiencing it myself.
"The red song of the battle is a red song, and sooner or later the soldiers of the Soviet Union will sing the red song and dye the world red." Serov, who was leaving, accidentally bumped into a man holding a child, smiled apologetically and got into the car.
"Who would have thought that the Taylor Group in Britain, which spans many industries, would actually be the intelligence agency led by our Major General Taylor? By today, you should have a huge industry in Britain and the United States, and you have done both legal and non-legal. Standing on the top floor of the Taylor Building, Serov looked down on the whole city of London from the window, I don't know when he began to like to stand on a high place and watch the scenery, this kind of pretending to be a good feeling.
"Thank you for your support, without you, I would be a small actor, how can I have today's results? Any big director can send me at will, what are they now? Elizabeth Taylor stood beside Serov with a cold face and a beautiful face covered with frost, this woman had changed too much compared to the first meeting between the two parties more than ten years ago.
"You still have potential, at least I didn't see you as valuable at the time." Serov left the window, rubbed his eyes a little tiredly and smiled, "I can't accept it for a while to return our public funds so quickly this time." ”
"I also have to think about my own department, it's hard for you, can't you kill Brezhnev?" Elizabeth Taylor almost frightened Serov as soon as she opened her mouth, and just praised the woman twice, which turned out to be praised.
"You think the KGB is what you call the ubiquitous department? I found that you foreigners are more confident in us than the Soviets, and if you have this ability, I would have gone to kill Nixon earlier. Serov shook his head and said, "If you have time, you will travel to the Soviet Union and bring your children with you." ”
"How many to bring?" Elizabeth Taylor's purple eyes fluttered, and she said with a hint of a smile, "Do you want Hepburn to bring the child with you?" His kids haven't seen their dad yet! Seeing the man's surprised look, he continued, "What should you do if you didn't take protective measures when you were in Jordan, so what should we do with the two women?" That's a whole month......"
"I thought you'd handle it yourself! You actors can each be ruthless. Serov touched his chin, he seemed to have miscalculated again, why did he say again? Because it's not the first time.
"What's wrong with us actors? Don't we think about the benefits? The leader of a superpower, we have his children, and that's the biggest gain. Elizabeth Taylor picked up the phone, said a few words into the phone, and waited for Hepburn's car to arrive at the Taylor Building, it seemed that today was an unforgettable day. A trip to the UK wasn't so boring.
A week later, Serov, who seemed to have been hollowed out, returned to Moscow, and nothing major happened to the KGB recently. For example, the sinking of a fishing boat of unknown nationality in the Sea of Japan and the warning of several suspicious elements, and the situation on the Sino-Soviet border was generally stable, with no earth-shattering situations. After all, the border guards are their own subordinates, and their safety will receive extra attention from the rubianka.
In 1970, the Soviet Union, with the exception of the Internal Affairs Army, had a total armed force of 3.5 million men, as in history. There has been no increase or decrease, and the armed forces of this size have not changed for a long time since the disarmament of Khrushchev.
Even if there was a border conflict, the Soviet Union did not expand its army, and the so-called Sino-Soviet border gathered millions of troops is true, but most of it was Chinese, and all the Soviet Union did was to transfer some troops from other directions to the border, and the whole process just regarded this matter as an ordinary dispute. It is impossible for a million-strong army to move south at any time, and as for the atomic bomb, Yugoslavia did not suffer it, and China is naturally even more impossible.
"The first secretary attaches great importance to the aviation intelligence of the United States, and we are trying to establish a transit station in space, with a manned living module as the main body, with different purpose sections, such as a working experiment module, a scientific instrument module, etc. The space station must be equipped with solar panels and docking hatches to ensure the power supply and docking with other spacecraft. Preparations have already been initiated, because this matter is top secret, and you KGB must take precautions. "Ustinov first talked about the news after he came.
"I'll let the Sixth General Bureau do a good job of guarding!" Serov was stunned for a moment, then understood what Ustinov was talking about, it should be a space station, and asked, "What is the code name of the plan?" ”
Salute! Ustinov's answer confronted Serov's speculation that the Salyut space station itself had a strong military purpose, and that he was the predecessor of the Mir space station and the originator of the stillborn combat space station. It seems that Brezhnev attached great importance to US aviation intelligence, and attached great importance to it to the point of starting preparations now. If it weren't for the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union, no one knows whether the successor series of combat space stations to Mir would have appeared.
Serov attached great importance to it, and he wondered if something different would appear if the Soviet Union continued to exist. He directly called the director of the Sixth General Administration, Valentin, to explain the importance that the first secretary attached to this matter.
"Then there is the fact that Vietnam's leader, Le Duan, is preparing to visit Moscow, and he seems to have come to seek support." Ustinov said the news before leaving, and Serov nodded to indicate that he knew.
"He is ready to officially adopt a pro-Soviet policy." Serov thought for a moment and analyzed the purpose of the other party's visit. In order to gain greater support for the reunification of Vietnam, Le Duan proposed the establishment of a world united front led by China, isolating the United States, weakening the US-Japan alliance, shaking the Southeast Asian bourgeoisie, and then breaking the US global strategy, but this idea was politely rejected by China because it ran counter to China's diplomatic and strategic concept.
The reason for China's refusal is that it is believed that it is unlikely to succeed, and Vietnam's position is better understood. Reunification of the motherland, now that Li Duan is ready to come to Moscow to seek support, the world united front is nonsense, and it is absolutely true that he wants to unify the motherland.
After all, the benefits of the Vietnam War to the Soviet Union were visible to everyone, and Le Duan's value at this time was absolutely worthy of the courtesy of the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) )
