Chapter 637 Le Duan visits the Soviet Union
Of course it is stronger. The last time the Hongqi Song and Dance Troupe came to London was in 1956. At that time, the British colonial capital had not been exhausted. Similar to Russia two or three years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the decline also There must be a process. At that time, the United Kingdom was considered a quasi-first-class country other than the United States and the Soviet Union. It was much stronger than France and Germany, which had just healed their wounds. The complete decline of the United Kingdom occurred before and after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The colonial capital had been exhausted, and it was completely unable to compete with the United States and the Soviet Union.
It can be said that the current largest country in Western Europe is not the United Kingdom, but France, regardless of whether Algeria is within the French territory or not. Today, France is still an African policeman in French Africa, and the currencies of more than a dozen countries are controlled by the French. In my hands, 60 years ago, Lenin said that France was a usurer imperialism. Today, the situation has not changed. People are still a well-known usurer imperialism, which is higher than the British Isles.
The Soviet Union in this time and space already had the strength of a comprehensive strategic offensive in 1970, a full five years earlier than in history. If he was not worried about the lack of stamina and could not kill the Americans at one time, Serov would definitely find a way to stir up pornography. Brezhnev’s easing policy now needs an opportunity, that is, although the Soviet Union has been catching up fiercely, so far there has not been a large-scale economic crisis in the West, that is, although the internal conditions have been met, the external environment is still poor. a little.
The Breston Woods system binds the hands and feet of the Americans. It is not as fast as the petrodollar of later generations. It also plays a stabilizing role. Although the dollar crisis occurs frequently, an economic crisis of this scale does not hurt the NATO group. Therefore, the Soviet Union still needs to wait a few years. Take the current oil price as an example, a barrel of $2.50, which is the price artificially depressed by NATO for economic development. The world’s oil price is in the hands of the seven major oil companies. .
This price, which is not much more expensive than water, is of course unacceptable to Middle Eastern countries, but they have no way to object. This requires an opportunity for them to vent their anger. As long as the next war in the Middle East breaks out, the Arab countries will definitely seize this opportunity. This does not even need the Soviet Union to provoke them. These countries have long been waiting for this day.
“We have only one enemy, this island country is no longer in our sight, and it can no longer catch up.” Serov looked at Zweigun next to him and smiled, “If you have time, get in touch with the Ministry of Culture. , the intellectuals in this department are always uneasy.”
“I understand, I know what’s going on here.” Zweigon’s attitude was very clear, saying that he was an expert in the affairs of the writer group, and Serov remembered that the vice chairman of the KGB, compared with his ability in the field of security, writing The ability of novels is actually better. He is actually a consultant for many anti-specialist films in the Soviet Union.
The Alexander Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe’s performance is not only in the UK. The Ministry of Culture’s communication this time is a major country in Western Europe, including Britain, France and Germany. But what happened next is what Zweigon said, Serov and Fortseva After the trip to the UK, they will return to Moscow. Both of them are the head of the department, and it is impossible to float outside for too long.
After the performance, Serov stood up and left the theater. The chorus of the Hongqi Song and Dance Troupe was like a rainbow. Every time I heard it, I felt like I wanted to go to war. That kind of blood boiling feeling, I wouldn’t understand it unless I experienced it myself.
“The red song of the battle is the red song. Sooner or later, the soldiers of the Soviet Union will sing the red song and turn the world red.” Serov accidentally bumped into a man holding a child while leaving, smiled apologetically and got on car.
“Who would have thought that the British Taylor Group, which spans multiple industries, turned out to be an intelligence agency led by our Major General Taylor? By today, you should have a huge industry in the United Kingdom and the United States, and you have done both legal and illegal. .” Sheloff, who was standing on the top floor of Taylor Building, looked down on the entire city of London from the window. I don’t know when he started to like to stand at a high place to watch the scenery more and more. This kind of pretence feels really good.
“Thank you for your support. Without you, I am just a small actor. How can I achieve today? Any big director can dispatch me at will, what are they now?” Elizabeth Taylor looked indifferent, beautiful She stood beside Shelov with her pretty face covered in frost. Compared with the first meeting between the two sides more than ten years ago, this woman has changed too much.
“You still have potential, at least I didn’t see that you were valuable at the time.” Shelov left the window, rubbed his eyes tiredly and smiled, “This time I returned our public funds so happily this time. I can’t accept it for a while.”
“I also have to think about my own department. It’s also difficult for you. Can’t you kill Brezhnev?” Elizabeth Taylor almost made Serov shiver when she spoke, and she just praised this woman. Can not help but boast.
“Do you think the KGB is the ubiquitous department you say? I found that you foreigners have more confidence in us than the Soviets. If you have this ability, I would have gone to Nixon earlier.” Shelov shook his head and changed the conversation. ” If you have time, come to the Soviet Union for a tour and bring your children with you.”
“How many?” Elizabeth Taylor’s purple eyes rolled, and she said with a smile, “Would you like Hepburn to take the child with him? His child hasn’t seen his father yet!” Seeing the man’s surprised expression continued Said, “You didn’t take protective measures when you were in Jordan, what should we do with the two women? That was a whole month…”
“I thought you would handle it yourself! All of you actors can be cruel.” Sheloff touched his chin, and he seemed to have made a mistake in his estimation again. Why did he say it again? Because this is not the first time.
“What’s wrong with our actors? Don’t we think about the benefits? The leader of a superpower, we have his children, that’s the biggest benefit.” Elizabeth Taylor picked up the phone, said a few words to the phone, and waited After a while, Hepburn’s car arrived at the Taylor Building. It seems that today is an unforgettable day. A trip to the UK is not so boring.
A week later, Serov, who seemed to be hollowed out, returned to Moscow, and there was no major incident at the KGB recently. The matters reported by the major bureaus are all routine. For example, a fishing boat of unknown nationality was sunk in the Sea of Japan, and several suspicious elements were warned. The situation on the Sino-Soviet border was generally stable, and there was no shocking situation. The border guards are his subordinates after all, and their safety will receive extra attention from Lubyanka.
The Soviet Union in 1970 had a total armed force of 3.5 million people, except for the Internal Affairs Army, which was the same as in history. Neither increase nor decrease, an armed force of this size has not changed for a long time since Khrushchev’s disarmament.
Even if there was a border conflict, the Soviet Union did not expand its military. The so-called Sino-Soviet border gathered millions of troops. It is true, but most of them are Chinese. What the Soviet Union did is to transfer some troops from other directions. At the border, the whole process is just treated as an ordinary dispute. It is impossible for a million troops to go south at any time. As for the atomic bomb, Yugoslavia has not suffered, and China is naturally even more impossible.
“The first secretary attaches great importance to the aviation intelligence of the United States. We are trying to build a space transfer station, with a manned living module as the main body, with different purpose modules, such as working experimental cabins, scientific instrument cabins, etc. Outside the space station Solar panels and docking hatches must be installed to ensure the power supply in the station and to achieve docking with other spacecraft. The relevant preparations have been started, because this matter is top secret, and your KGB must do a good job of protection.” Ustinov first spoke of the news after his arrival.
“I will let the Sixth General Bureau do a good job of defending it!” Shelov was stunned for a moment, then understood what Ustinov said, it should be a space station, and asked, “What is the code name of the plan?”
Salute! Ustinov’s answer squarely faced Serov’s guess. The Salyut space station itself has a strong military purpose. He is the predecessor of the Mir space station and the originator of the stillborn combat space station. It seems that Brezhnev attaches great importance to American air intelligence, to the point where preparations begin now. If it weren’t for the sudden disintegration of the Soviet Union, no one knows whether the follow-up series of combat space stations for Mir would appear.
Shelov attaches great importance to it. He wants to know if the Soviet Union continues to exist and whether something different will appear. Directly called Valentin, director of the Sixth General Administration, to explain the importance the first secretary attached to this matter.
“Also, the leader of Vietnam, Le Duan, is preparing to visit Moscow. He seems to be here to seek support.” Ustinov told the news before he left, and Serov nodded to show that he knew.
“He is about to formally 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 unification of Vietnam, Le Duan proposed to establish 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 is contrary to China. China’s diplomatic strategy concept was politely rejected by China.
The reason for China’s rejection is that we know that this is unlikely to succeed, and Vietnam’s position is better understood. To reunify the motherland, now Le Duan is ready to come to Moscow to seek support, the world united front is nonsense, and it is absolutely true to want to reunify the motherland.
For the arrival of Le Duan, the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union gave a grand welcome. 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 definitely worthy of the Soviet Union’s courtesy. (To be continued~^~)
