Chapter 641 Armed India
“The news can be confirmed? The Americans are still bowing their heads…” Serov’s expression was flat, but his heart could be said to have been diluted a lot because of the recent joy. He spread the information revolution in the country, and even the LANs of major cities have finally been connected to the Internet. At the time, this news can be said to have poured a basin of cold water on myself.
“Yes, we got the news from Pakistan, and we can be sure that it is Nixon’s assistant Kissinger.” Morrigin, director of the First General Directorate, hesitated, “Should you report the news to the Kremlin immediately?”
“No need, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own channels, and the Kremlin should already know about it.” Serov took a deep breath and said, just at this moment the red phone on the table rang, and when he picked up the phone, he heard the inside say, “Understood. , are the three major departments coming? Understood, Comrade Chernenko.”
Don’t worry, Serov asked the driver to drive him to the Kremlin. In nearly 20 years of living in the Soviet Union, he has never learned to drive. This problem is an infernal breakthrough. For example, his latest driver is Zwei Gong arranged it here, although he thought his arrangement was very secret.
As a man who can’t drive, Serov’s attitude towards it is all kinds of rubbish. It happens that Brezhnev is more fond of drag racing, so there will be a strange scene during the vacation. The biggest leader of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev, personally Driving a jeep carrying the biggest intelligence chief of the Soviet Union to hunt, followed by hundreds of secret police escorting the safety of the two.
After arriving at the Kremlin, in addition to the members of the Central Presidium and the Secretariat, there are also Defense Minister Marshal Grechko Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, and the heads of the other two departments of the three major ministries side by side with the KGB. Arrive.
“Yura, sit down, I believe you already know the situation!” Brezhnev just said a simple sentence, his inner thoughts could not be seen on his face, what is the name of the sentence? Happiness and anger are indescribable, yes, this is the sentence.
Shelov sat down without saying a word. For more than ten years, he kept spreading **** to prevent the United States from approaching China. Facts have proved that this is useless. The United States took the initiative to improve relations, ignoring what ***** you can do.
The United States has found that it cannot settle two countries at the same time, and will definitely choose a weak enemy to ease it. In fact, it is similar to the current policy of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union chose Western Europe, and the United States chose China. Even if China is making trouble for the United States, it will not give the United States the illusion that China is a greater threat than the Soviet Union, because the national power is there.
This situation is similar to the situation in later generations. No matter how much Russia struggles, it will not delay the United States to transfer its main forces to the East and play the strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific. Because the gap in national strength on the bright side cannot be changed by tossing and turning.
“Let’s talk about this, comrades, this move is very sudden, and we need to think about it slowly.” Brezhnev glanced at everyone and sighed, “I have to say that Americans are still relatively capable. Looking for trouble.”
“Stabilizing a weaker opponent and concentrating on fighting against a strong enemy is a very normal strategy. Just like we paralyzed Western Europe and confronted the United States in other directions, the Americans are obviously not fools.” Serov nodded to himself. A cigarette, took a deep breath and said, “It’s not too bad, what are you afraid of?”
“How can we be afraid, even if we start a war on both sides at the same time, we can still win.” Defense Minister Marshal Grechko said with a tough attitude, “They thought it was enough to come together? Do they really think they can fight against us? ”
“Comrade Grechko, please pay attention to your words.” Brezhnev interrupted, “It’s not too bad, let Comrade Serov say that we have not yet had to use force to solve the problem. .”
“Can they still change color? Nothing can change the fact that the other party is a socialist country.” Serov said with his face unchanged, “As long as this remains the same, things will never be resolved by force, and we have a natural advantage. .”
“What if the color changes? What strategy do you have, and who will take the responsibility?” Defense Minister Marshal Grechko shouted in an unpleasant voice, “Your KGB is the weakest in China, right?”
Serov stood up abruptly, walked to the next wall, opened the curtain, looked at the world map with his back to the crowd, was silent for a while and suddenly turned back and shouted, “If the worst happens, my suggestion is to immediately Start a war, take a pre-emptive attack with nuclear weapons, all armies will strike regardless of direction, and start a war against all bordering countries, I wonder if Comrade Grechko is satisfied with this answer?”
Shelov, who was standing under the world map, looked indifferent, and his serious attitude shocked everyone. Even Defense Minister Marshal Grechko didn’t know how to interface for a while. At this time, Andropov, Secretary of the Central Committee, said, “Comrade Serov just explained the worst result, and it is obviously not the worst time yet. . Besides, we are not helpless.”
“We all know this is an angry talk, Yura, let’s talk about some practical suggestions.” Shelepin, chairman of the Supreme Soviet, asked to ease the atmosphere, “If you don’t respond at all, is it inappropriate?”
“I heard that India is seeking support for Pakistan’s operations?” Serov, who sat down again, suddenly asked this question. Both Andropov and Ustinov nodded, and then said, “Kissinger is from Pakistan. By the way? This time we will teach Pakistan a lesson and support India’s annexation of East Pakistan.”
“Okay, let’s take action against Pakistan this time, and let these people know what will happen against us.” Ustinov was the first to agree, and Andropov thought for a while and nodded in support.
After Brezhnev waited for most of the committee members to express their opinions, he made a final decision and asked Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to plan this matter. Serov suggested, “Our support is not in vain, it must be Let India annex East Pakistan, otherwise it will not support India. Of course, we need India’s presence to remind China not to think that we have no friends, but also Pakistan should remember the shame and tap India at the right time.”
“Another reason to support India is to strengthen India’s international prestige, and once East Pakistan is annexed, the religious power in India will be more balanced, which will bring two possibilities. It is impossible to develop to a level that threatens us, which is convenient for our command, which is a relatively bad result. The second is that because two hostile religions coexist in the country, India may eventually choose atheism, and treat both religions at the same time. Attack. It will increase the possibility of becoming a socialist country. This is a better result.” Serov thought for a moment and said, “No matter what kind of result occurs, it will be beneficial to us in the Soviet Union…”
In August, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi signed the Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation between the Soviet Union and India in New Delhi, the capital of India. The two sides undertake not to conclude or participate in any military alliance against the other side, not to engage in aggression against the other side, nor to allow the use of their own territory to carry out any acts that may cause military losses to the other side, and not to inform any third party participating in an armed conflict with the other side. The three parties provide any assistance; when either of the contracting parties is attacked or threatened, the two parties shall immediately consult together to eliminate such threat, and take appropriate and corresponding measures to ensure peace and security between the two countries; the two parties declare that they will not be liable to other states for any inconsistency with this treaty. Compatible with any secret or public obligations.
Indira Gandhi pondered for a long time in the Prime Minister’s Office of India, because of the question of Andrei Gromyko, the foreign minister of the Soviet Union, “In the current situation, if you want to retake the Northeast, East Pakistan will inevitably be annexed. Otherwise, you will have no road. Sikkim is watched by the United Nations, and it is difficult to use your brain. India’s road to the northeast has actually been blocked. And there is East Pakistan, and South Asia is a nation because of historical reasons. There are many regions, and once East Pakistan becomes independent, it will become the first nation-state composed of a single ethnic group in South Asia. All of them are Bangladeshis. This will affect the stability of West Bengal in India. It is possible to dissolve slowly, but it will take a long time. The resolved pain may be greater than the short-term labor pain.”
“Once the Bangladeshis become a nation-state, will it fuel the trend of independence in West Bengal? No one knows. Besides, you know how dense the population of Bangladesh is. Once it continues to grow, immigration at the border will increase in the future. The problem will become a big problem, and the control and management of the Indian government can effectively delay the problem.”
Gromiko’s problems are very practical. These are problems that India urgently needs to face. Indira Gandhi’s hesitation is because there are two opinions in India, one is annexation, and the other is to make Bangladesh independent. The two factions have been at odds with each other. At present, the voice for Bangladesh’s independence is slightly stronger, but in the end it still depends on which side Indira Gandhi stands on.
After thinking for a long time, Indira Gandhi finally made up his mind to annex! But this requires the strong support of the Soviet Union. Gromyko said that there is no problem. All the armaments the Soviet Union can provide, but the international pressure brought about by the annexation needs to be shouldered by India itself. After the communication, the Central Secretary of Moscow Ustinov Start operating the plan to arm the Indian Army. (To be continued~^~)
