Of course, cooperation is possible, and at certain times, the Soviet Union and the United States also have times when they take common positions, and if the Indians are not convinced, they can recall how their suzerain, the British Empire, was dismantled by the United States and the Soviet Union in recent years. The French were more clever and took the initiative to abandon some of the peripheral colonies to defend the closest colony to the mainland in French West Africa, so that they were not defeated all at once like the British.

As far as the United States and the Soviet Union are concerned, the two countries themselves are in the midst of the Cold War, and there is even an India leading emerging countries to play the Non-Aligned Movement. The USSR and the United States were not without gains in this war, at least two potential enemies that may arise in the future, one of which will definitely fall. It now seems that India will fall, how can a defeated country lead the Non-Aligned Movement? The presence of such a leader is a complete testament to the fact that the Non-Aligned Movement is a joke.

To Serov's surprise, he did not expect that this war in history China has attracted almost the world's opposition, except for Albania, North Korea, and Pakistan, a few countries have expressed their support. Opposition has spread from Western Europe, North Africa, the Middle East to Southeast Asia. Together, there are less than 10 African countries supporting China, and there are many countries behind India. Serov did not anticipate this, and even the Arab countries supported India.

Why would the Arab countries support India? There are two currents of thought in the Arab world today, one is pan-Arabism represented by Egypt, Syria and Iraq, and the other is the pan-pacifist ideas represented by the emirates in the Gulf. The countries of Egypt want the Arab empire to be reborn, but have little interest in the Saudis' assertion of the whole peace religion together. There is a religious influence, if Pakistan and India go to war, there is no doubt that all these Arab countries support Pakistan, but if it is China and India that fight, no one will support an atheistic China except Pakistan itself.

While waiting for the results of India's counteroffensive, Serov also communicated with Andropov, who was in the process of gaining an understanding in China, and Serov knew from the telegram that Andropov was a little disappointed that China had not clearly expressed its support for the Soviet Union. Since the two could not communicate by phone, they had to discuss on telegram.

"Comrade Serov, the attitude of the Chinese comrades is to let us show our unequivocal support, because they are in isolation, and if there is support from the big socialist family, I believe they will not be so passive!" Andropov said in Telegram.

But Serov knew that this was impossible. The opposition was so strong that both the United States and the Soviet Union had to face up to the pros and cons, and it was not one or two countries, but seventy or eighty countries that were taking a stand. If it were only the United States and Western Europe supporting India, the Soviet Union might not care, but it involved many newly independent and new countries, and the Soviet Union would not dare to offend these countries. In particular, the support of the countries of the Middle East, whether Egypt, Sudan or Syria, was very important to the Soviet Union. It was impossible for the Soviet Union to abandon all its allies in the Middle East because of China as a country.

If China and the United States go to war, the Soviet Union can go out and sell its kidney to aid China, but China is not stupid, how can it really have another war with the United States? It's not realistic. It is unrealistic for the Soviet Union to ask China to do this, and it is equally unrealistic for China to ask the Soviet Union to give up its interests in other directions to support China.

Serov had to find out where the interests of China and the Soviet Union coincided and downplayed the inconsistencies. But it is by no means unprincipled to kneel and lick, not to mention that he is now only the second-in-command of a department, even the first secretary of the USSR cannot do so.

"Comrade Andropov, you must remind the Chinese comrades that the opposition covers most of the countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and that only Pakistan supports China in the entire peaceful world, and only Vietnam supports China in so many countries in Southeast Asia. There are only four African countries combined! There is a voice of support for the Chinese comrades within the Presidium of the Central Committee, but when it comes to the problems of the Soviet Union facing many newly independent countries, the Soviet Union has the bitterness of not being able to openly support it, and I hope they will understand. In a telegram back to Andropov, Serov wrote, "There is no possibility of reaping the benefits without paying the price, and the victory in the war is from a private point of view, and we congratulate the Chinese comrades." Either endure isolation and ask for land, or fight this war for nothing and gain nothing, and I must remind here that India is a country that has no possibility of peaceful coexistence with China in the future because of this war. Reconciliation is impossible, and we have more channels to prove it! ”

Serov's greatest fear is that China has taken steps to withdraw its troops in the face of this opposition, and is this opposition strong now? It is very strong, and nearly 100 countries have expressed their positions. It may be that the Soviet Union entered Cuba in the name of anti-colonialism, so part of the spearhead of the attack on socialist countries was shifted to China.

History is made up of many things that are interconnected, and for example, China has gained more land than in history, and the statements of these countries are much harsher than in history. But what are you afraid of, that's 250,000 square kilometers of land. Even if it is not incorporated into China, it will become a buffer country.

So Serov, in his telegram to Andropov, put forward several proposals, which were actually offered to China.

"With India's current position in the world, after suffering a crushing defeat, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two countries. Nor is it possible to change this, land is more important than anything else. Time will dilute everything today, and sooner or later most countries will forget about wars that have nothing to do with their country, and I hope that the Chinese comrades must make the right choice! ”

After this telegram was sent, Serov also received a telegram from Moscow, and the attitude of the Central Presidium towards the Sino-Indian war was very obvious, except for Suslov, Khrushchev, Kozlov, and Brezhnev all had the same attitude, and they must not support China when the opposition was heard all over the world. This attitude is very normal, the Far East is only a secondary direction for the Soviet Union, and in the case of the confrontation in Europe like an iron bucket, the direction of the Soviet Union's breakthrough is in the Middle East, so the attitude of the Arab countries is very important. If the Arab countries adopt an attitude inclined to India, the Soviet Union cannot act against it.

It would be good to be able to give China a certain amount of convenience in secret, and historically, if Serov hadn't said that India was muddy and couldn't support the wall a few months ago, there wouldn't have even been such a secret convenience.

Later, Serov also made a phone call to Semychasny at 11 Lubyanka Square, and after the phone was connected, he asked directly, "Actually, for the Sino-Indian war, we still need to consider the impact in another country." That is Indonesia, Indians and Chinese are important supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party, and if this war affects the Indonesian Communist Party, it may be an unnecessary loss! ”

"I'll let Comrade Sakhatowsky keep an eye on what is going on over there, and you won't have to worry about that." Semychasny assured very indifferently, "If our spy satellites are not mistaken, India's offensive preparations do not seem to be complete." ”

"Got it!" Serov gave this information to Andropov in China. The Soviet Union could help China in places that the average person could not see, such as communications capabilities and intelligence, which could not be seen but were still important. Serov made so many preparations during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and was finally discovered by the Americans, which shows from the side how important spy satellites are.

The problem lies in the fact that at present only two countries, the United States and the Soviet Union, have spy satellites, and in the minds of ordinary state staff officers, there is no concept of such spy satellites, and they do not yet know how useful the man-made aircraft orbiting the earth in space is.

Serov, who was in Almaty, was also told by some KGB agents in New Delhi and other parts of India, "The news of India's failure on the front has arrived, but because China has invested more troops than the Indian military, Nehru has taken pacification measures, and there is a trend of thought that the initial defeat is China's tactics of using a sea of people." The second batch of seven brigades of the Indian army is ready to go to the front, but it seems that the equipment and morale are not high! ”

Serov called back and asked, "How many reserves does the Indian Army still have, and how many troops can be gathered after this counteroffensive!" ”

"There are not many troops in the northern part of India anymore, but the banks of the Ganges River are the most populated places in India, and it is not difficult to recruit soldiers, but soldiers need to be trained, and they cannot be put on the battlefield in a short period of time."

In other words, this is the last fight, Serov fulfilled his mission of a common spy, sorted out the information collected by the KGB in India and the current situation and handed it to Andropov, and then summoned the staff of the Turkestan Military District to conduct a deduction of India's counteroffensive, and sent the results to Moscow after the deduction. Of course, this also told Andropov about this result, and these second-line troops in India are estimated to kneel again.

Serov had waited for ten days for the outcome of the battle, and the time had already entered late November, and the Indian counteroffensive had unexpectedly suffered a humiliating defeat under the betrayal of the communist spies. At the same time, Serov was also supported in Almaty, and an operational brigade of the 105th Airborne Division rushed to Almaty, and by this time he was ready to intervene.

"Old chairman, it must be airborne in New Delhi, otherwise there will be no shocking effect, if the Indians don't agree, forget it!" Serov said, "Let the Americans save them......" (To be continued. )
