Chapter 611 limited sovereignty
“Well, sending it to the Syrian army is indeed the best way to avoid trouble.” Ustinov nodded and said. Syria and Iraq are bordered, and the vast area of the border area is very easy for Soviet armaments to be invested in Iraq. Moreover, the Soviet Union has a base in Syria, which can be reassuring in terms of various conditions.
As for whether hundreds of tanks will burden the Soviet Union, of course not. The Soviet Union’s production capacity is far from being fully utilized, and it cannot be said to be the standard of the arms race, but that’s it, five hundred tanks only need two It will be able to leave the factory in a month, which is not in Ustinov’s consideration at all.
Although Ustinov is now the secretary of the Central Committee of the Secretariat, in fact the entire armament development of the Soviet Union has always been in his hands. The Party and the government formulated the program for building a communist society, consolidating socialist national defense and the building of the Soviet armed forces, and attached great importance to strengthening the fighting unity among the armies of various socialist countries. There are many front-line commanders in the Soviet Union, but like Ustino In this way, all military issues are co-ordinated, and there are not many.
Ustinov, like Andropov and Andrei Gromyko, belongs to the powerful faction in their respective fields, not Sherepin, Kosygin, the original Podgorny, or even Suslov’s horse. young. In history, three people completely replaced the positions of Podgorny, Shelepin and Kosygin and became the powerful faction of the Soviet Union.
It is precisely because he knows this history that Serov doesn’t want to fight Brezhnev desperately. If the Dnipro gang can handle everything, then while the strength of the Shelepin group still exists, of course, he will immediately focus his supporters and fight Brezhnev to the death. . Officially, because Brezhnev couldn’t handle everything and needed some help from groups that did not belong to him, Serov didn’t want to work hard. After all, a coup d’etat is harmful to a country.
Deep down, Serov also knew that Serepin and his friends were very young. If they were in power, they could almost govern until the 21st century. If they really defeated Brezhnev, their mentality might change. It would be better to check and balance each other now and maintain a balanced posture.
If possible, Serov will help Ustinov and Andrei Gromyko have a greater voice, which can enrich the rights of some real departments of the Soviet Union and make Brezhnev feel more at ease.
Therefore, it is necessary to brush the presence of these people. Once any action is planned, it is best to involve these people. The better the relationship, the more harmless people and animals, the safer he will be. This is what Brezhnev taught him. If Brezhnev can be Tokugawa Ieyasu, who says he can’t be Sima Yi.
With the Soviet leadership advocating for détente, and receiving a response from the Federal Republic of Germany, Serov was prepared to make some different noises to make this deceptive détente more acceptable to Western Europe, but before the security conference, the first The Directorate General reported an unusual situation.
“Chairman, the major banks in the UK are mobilizing funds, and some preparations are made for France in March.” Hearing this news, Serov knew that the old imperialists had finally taken action to teach their wicked sons a lesson, and a father came back.
“Let Comrade Zinev come in!” Serov thought for a while and felt that it would be better to communicate with this close friend of Brezhnev. The two communicated for a long time. In March, they cooperated with France’s run on the dollar. In fact, now It is no longer a secret among the top ranks of the Soviet Union. At the beginning, the Soviet Union got a lot of benefits, and Zinev, who is a senior security cadre, also knows this.
The two cannot be considered communication, but discuss how to act. Almost as soon as Zinev heard the news, he already thought it was a good opportunity. If Serov didn’t mention this, he was ready to persuade his boss to join. go in.
“It is necessary to join in, but Comrade Zinev, you must know that the environment and needs of Britain and France are different, so the benefits of this attack may not be as expected. Of course, if you insist, I will Naturally I will agree.” Sheloff discussed with his deputy in a gentle manner.
If Serov remembers correctly, the focus of the British attack is not on gold, but on the currency settlement share of the world market, because by definition the UK and France are different, and the franc itself does not have such a high status as the pound, so de Gaulle’s goal is to gold, and the pound is much more widely circulated than the franc. This has led to different views on how the two countries treat the dollar.
But this matter still has to be reported, and finally it will be handed over to Kosygin to make a decision. At the same time, Serov feels that it seems that this is an opportunity to make Elizabeth Taylor pay back the money. This woman’s industry was won with the hard-earned money of the KGB. How can there be such a media tycoon across Europe and the United States, the American dream? shit…
After notifying Elizabeth Taylor to see if this woman could find an opportunity to follow her homeland and make a fortune, and at the same time repay the KGB money, Serov picked up the phone and said, “Keep an eye on Zinev, don’t put our intelligence fund It’s adrift.”
For Serov, it is not impossible to lose some money. When Zinev makes mistakes, it will be easier to be controlled, but it is difficult. .
This matter is no longer important to Serov, and the Soviet Union can’t grab the international share of the dollar. In countries under the influence of the Soviet Union, the ruble is the dollar. Outside the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, the ruble is waste paper, it’s that simple.
The sun never sets. Although the sun of the empire has already set, it is not reconciled to loneliness. Although the years when the pound was rampant in the world are gone, the pound in 1968 still occupies a quarter of the world’s international trade settlement share. Seeing France’s embarrassment and America’s weakness, Britain thought their time was ripe. It seems to be much easier to succeed when the goal is not to overthrow hegemony, but to share world hegemony with the United States. So, the UK is the second to end. First kick the hapless France hard, and then go all out to slam the dollar. The second wave of the dollar sell-off is here, and this time, there is one more thing on the sell-off list: a large number of US Treasuries and Federal Reserve bills. The United States’ access to financing through the financial market has been severely blocked, and the United States is sad this time.
“These nasty British people, who understand financial rules better than France and the Soviet Union, actually took action at this time.” In an important office on Wall Street, a voice roared angrily.
When the United States and the United Kingdom attacked France, the cooperation between the two countries was very close. It was only later that Charles de Gaulle encountered political trouble, and this attack had to end. Otherwise, France would turn red all of a sudden. Can not afford. Even some forces that know the inside story are also dissatisfied with Wall Street. They think that the left wing of the French Congress is the result of Wall Street’s disregard for the overall situation. This accusation makes Wall Street feel very wronged. Who knows how the May storm came out?
“We must let the government intervene and ask what the British want? In this case, if the British are not stopping, we can’t stand it. Since the British are not focusing on gold, it shows that they have other purposes.” A voice sounded, “The election is about to happen now, and the government is not reliable, but we must communicate with the British.”
After all, Wall Street is the maker of the current rules. They immediately judged that the British attack was different from the previous attacks by France and the Soviet Union, and had no intention of emptying the U.S. gold reserves. Broken face, but has other purposes. In that case, let’s talk and see what purpose the British want first.
“How can the pound share the world with the dollar? Isn’t this a joke?” Serov said with a sneer after listening to Zinev’s report, “But seeing Comrade Zinev’s expression, it seems that this attack is not a nuisance. No gain.”
“I just got some dollar bonds, far from what Comrade Kosygin has achieved.” Although Zinev said it easily, this time the KGB’s fund was still expanded by one-fifth, and of course the property of a tycoon also expanded. roughly this number.
Serov himself can be said to have gone further on the road to shooting, but all law enforcement agencies cannot investigate themselves. In fact, it’s not easy to investigate yourself, because all the funds have never entered the Soviet Union. If you want to investigate, you can’t find anything in the Soviet Union.
In November, before the first plenary meeting after Brezhnev came to power, Serov first convened the National Security Conference, which was already unusual before the convening, because it was the Brezhnev government. For the first time, and one week before the plenary meeting of the Central Committee, there is a reason that is hard to imagine.
After the regular questions in the early stage, at the subsequent formal meeting, Serov took out the prepared documents and began to enter the topic, “The entire socialist camp is a whole, and within this framework, the sovereignty of each country is is limited, the big family composed of all socialist countries is an inseparable whole, the interests of the big socialist family are “supreme sovereignty” above everything else; the fate of each country cannot be determined by its own government. When the struggle is so fierce, we must maintain the unity of the entire camp in order to fight the enemy in the final battle.”
Serov’s remarks were spread to Western Europe after the Security Conference. This aggressive rhetoric was called the theory of limited sovereignty by Western European countries. However, Serov’s remarks were different from Brezhnev’s. Serov advocated concentration. The forces of all socialist countries compete with the capitalist camp. (To be continued~^~)
