Chapter 606 Global Offensive Program

  After Brezhnev, Kosygin, and Sherepin became the Soviet leadership, Serov continued to work in Lubyanka on the grounds that security cadres should not be involved in politics, while respecting all the members of the Central Presidium. Today, when he came to the Kremlin, he came up with a formulated plan, and this systematic plan will turn defense into offense.

“After Robert Kennedy was assassinated, our KGB’s assessment held that President Eisenhower’s deputy, Nixon, who was in the kitchen debate that year, would have a greater chance of becoming the new president of the United States. His opponent was originally Robert Kennedy, but now he has Death, the remaining Democratic candidates are still a little short of waiting.” Shelov first talked about the current election in the United States, after all, the US president’s policy has always played a major role in evaluating the Soviet Union’s foreign relations.

“That is to say, Nixon may become the president of the United States.” Brezhnev suddenly remembered this person. The two met during the debate in the kitchen, but he didn’t notice Nixon at the time, because the vice president of the United States In his own eyes, the president is just a vase, not worth noting at all. “I didn’t expect him to make a comeback. This person is a staunch anti-Soviet element. It is not good news for this person to come to power.”

Brezhnev and Nixon had contacts. Although Nixon appeared to be peaceful in Moscow at that time, Brezhnev, who had been ups and downs among the Soviet cadres for so many years, could see the peace of the other side at a glance. It was all pretentious. Influenced by Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech, Richard Nixon had a profound understanding of resisting communism. After entering the political arena, Nixon established a staunch anti-Soviet image in the American public by joining the House Un-American Activities Committee, proposing the Monte-Nixon Act, joining the Hurt Committee, and pursuing the investigation of the Heath case.

“Even if Nixon was hostile to the Soviet Union and communism, he couldn’t change one thing, and that was the situation. I think this man’s so-called withdrawal from Vietnam was just talking about before the election. He was still trying to win the Vietnam War. But it doesn’t matter, as long as we let the United States run into a bloodbath, he will have to stop.” Serov briefly said the current situation, using a simple language, the current situation in the Soviet Union is not a small good. But great.

  The situation is stronger than people. Nixon is still a friend of Lao Jiang. He still gave up peanuts because of the relaxation with China. Regardless of whether Nixon was willing or not, he had to make these unwilling choices when the situation was bad.

“Yes, the endless war of attrition will eventually make the Americans stop and realize that their national strength is not infinite!” Suslov said, and then said, “The strategic offensive plan formulated should have been When you’re ready, take it out and let’s take a look, in fact, each of us has considered it in our hearts to see if it coincides with us.”

“Okay, that’s it, in view of the fundamental changes in the international situation, the enhancement of our country’s own national strength, and of course the support of the first secretary, the second secretary and the chairman of the Council of Ministers, I am making this decision in the name of the General Political Commissar of National Security. This plan, supplemented by the KGB’s global intelligence network intelligence, describes the attack plan.” Shelov stood up and gave everyone a rough outline, explaining, “From the French attack on the dollar, it proves that the Western world is now Among them, the dominance of the United States has caused dissatisfaction in many countries. The United States will definitely respond to the needs of some powerful countries in its own camp, and adjust its own policies at the same time. I think the Vietnam War will end within five years, because this adjustment cycle requires Timing, when not adjusted, Americans will not evacuate quickly because that could create an avalanche of predicament.”

Brezhnev, Suslov, Shelepin and Kosygin all nodded, obviously this is a very reasonable prediction, and if you withdraw from the Vietnam battlefield without saying a word, you may have a military budget left, but you can leave People pay a great price.

“In view of the relative decline of the United States’ position in the capitalist world economy; changes in the military power balance between the United States and the Soviet Union unfavorable to the United States; the deepening of conflicts between the United States and Western Europe and Japan; the third world’s efforts to get rid of the control of superpowers, these reasons are appropriate. Offensive policies are possible and necessary.”

   “Yes, some offensive policies, on the one hand, can test the bottom line of the United States, and on the other hand, can increase our influence.” Brezhnev nodded, and the offensive policies coincided with his thoughts. Relaxation is relaxation, and attack is attack. Brezhnev does not think there is any contradiction in this. The policy of relaxation is just to deceive the Western European countries, and the only way to deal with the United States is to continuously increase its military power and put pressure on it.

In fact, long before Serov came up with this plan, Marshal Sergei Georgievich Gorshkov had already come to the Kremlin a few days ago and had seen Brezhnev first come up with the plan. the Navy’s development plan. The target is the Suez Canal in the following area. Mediterranean. west Pacific. North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. The Soviet Union’s nuclear assault strategy faces a problem, that is, the United States is also nuclear assaulting the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union’s nuclear assault strategy must ensure that it has the initiative to control the nuclear assault. The Soviet Union’s approach to limiting the United States’ nuclear attack is to use anti-submarine assault groups to search Track down US nuclear submarines and hit them. This is all pulled out by the Soviet Union’s nuclear assault strategy. So the Soviet Union had to start developing an ocean-going navy. Develop a navy that has always been able to compete head-to-head with the U.S. Navy. At the same time, the Y-class submarines entered service this year, and one can be built every month, giving the Soviet Navy at least the opportunity to be equal to the US Navy in the field of strategic nuclear containment. Its missiles can reach anywhere in the United States.

Marshal Gorshkov’s naval development plan has been approved by Brezhnev. In recent times, Ustinov, as well as generals of the army and air force have often come to the Kremlin to submit new armament developments. plan.

“There are three main offensive directions, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Of course, there is no need to say much about Southeast Asia, it is currently underway, and in Africa, we use Sudan as a military base to try to go south and build a direct route to South Africa. Considering the world, the oil resources in the Middle East are very important. Comrades, we must take into account another problem, that is, although our Soviet Union does not lack oil resources, our cost of exploitation is much higher than that of the Middle East countries. The land is controlled by the United States, and the artificially low oil price will have an impact on our oil industry. In the case that the third Baku has been put into production, this possibility is very bad.” Serov said in a very serious tone , “Think about it, if the cheap oil price in the Middle East has become the nutrition of the enemy, and the oil we provide to the allies is not profitable, it will drag our development speed in comparison.”

“Yes, the treasure house of the world’s minerals is in southern Africa, while the treasure house of oil is the Middle East. The strategic offensive plan must take into account these two places.” Brezhnev nodded in approval, but he and himself thought of going together. .

“Comrades, we mainly adopt a policy of détente against Western European countries to numb them, but we must resolutely attack in other directions, especially southern Africa and the Middle East, which must be included in our sphere of influence.” Brezhnev The clenched right fist tightened his breath.

Historically, Brezhnev launched a de-escalation offensive to Western Europe, and then launched a violent expansion offensive to the Third World, and formulated a three-pronged political, economic and military global offensive strategy: using economic strategy as support , military strategy as the core, supplemented by detente strategies; with Europe as the strategic focus, flank detours in the Middle East and Africa, and compete for strategic locations, strategic resources and maritime channels; with the goal of breaking the US strategic layout, gradually seize the US strategic Advantage.

Xie Lepin thought for a moment and nodded, and then asked, “In principle, there is no problem, but what is the order? Now that the United States is deeply involved in the situation in Southeast Asia, are we taking the initiative to provoke the war and expand the war in Southeast Asia? ?”

“Three directions start at the same time!” Shelov said something that surprised everyone. “Once the United States promotes joint defense through diplomacy and communicates with relevant countries, many places are not easy to chew. At present, the United States has not completed it. At that time, it was the time of the general election, and we had to take the initiative. I personally supervise the actions in the Middle East direction.”

This urgency is because the opportunity is only a few years old. During the Nixon era, the United States’ Middle East policy was a two-pillar policy, that is, Saudi Arabia and Iran were regarded as the main partners of the United States in the Persian Gulf, and they provided them with a large number of weapons to make Iran Becoming a military pillar and acting as a police officer, Saudi Arabia has mainly become an economic pillar, acting as a stabilizer by using its huge economic inducement force.

Saudi Arabia and Iran were the bottom line of the United States during the Nixon era. After Vice President Ford succeeded Nixon, when he implemented a strategic retreat, he clearly assured the American people that the Middle East is a place that the United States must protect. Taking over from Nixon’s lesser-known historically Ford, while completing the oil and dollar bundling, drew a red line for the Soviet Union, showing that the Middle East was by no means a place for America to give up. So if you want to think about the Middle East, you must start now. In the future, if the Soviet military force directly intervenes in the Middle East, the United States will fight to the end with the Soviet Union even if it tries its best.

“Okay, we support this plan, and then start implementing a strategic offensive plan while easing Western Europe.” Finally Brezhnev, Shelepin, Suslov and Kosygin, these Soviet giants nodded and approved this. plan. (To be continued~^~)
