Chapter 649 Nixon’s visit to the Soviet Union

“The visit was fruitless. It was just that the Americans took the initiative to ease relations, and the Chinese accepted it. There was no real progress. This is not just a unilateral claim by China, but I also judge it. I want to let the current It is basically impossible for China to bow its head. If possible, we would have done it already. Serov grinned and said indifferently, “Nixon’s visit had some results, but basically no results. ”

“Well, but Nixon came to the Soviet Union in the hope of reducing the scale of our strategy and weapons. This is what we need. At least on the surface, we still have to deceive them.” Brezhnev smiled slightly, “Always Make an attitude, before you come back, many committee members think you will object.”

Brezhnev showed obvious closeness, put a hand on Serov’s shoulder, and asked, “Is Indira Gandhi going to annex Bangladesh? It has laid a solid foundation for us, but Pakistan itself is the only problem. Now, when do you want to do it. If we unite with China, will it be more successful?”

“China won’t agree. Not only can’t tell China, but it has to keep secrets and show that it doesn’t care about South Asia. We kill Pakistan, not only means that the Eurasian continent is cut off by the middle, but also means that China is already surrounded by all pro-Soviet countries, and China does not I won’t see it.” Shelov lowered his head and sighed, “They definitely don’t want to see this happen.”

  For any major country, this is a geopolitical disaster. Think about what happened to the Soviet Union Congress in Mexico in the south of the United States and Canada in the north. That is the super-large Cuban missile crisis. There is no other way out except for a world war.

“If possible, we should also show goodwill to China. Our military exchanges have been interrupted for ten years.” Shelov pressed the cigarette **** out, “This is also more necessary, I think we can restore the two military exchanges.”

“Comrade Ustinov believes that the unreserved assistance to China at the beginning did not bring goodwill from the other party. On the contrary, it caused us a lot of trouble. Is it a big risk?” Brezhnev is not too sure. Willing to agree to this suggestion.

“General Secretary, the military exchanges I’m talking about are exchanges between the Red Navy and the People’s Navy.” Shelov stood in front of the map of Asia and shouted, “The Chinese navy has become stronger, and it is not us who are the most angry. The countries that are frightened are Japan and South Korea. There is also the island in southeastern China. It is really impossible to send them a Sverdlov-class cruiser. In the manufacturing plan of the Red Navy, these ships in the second five-year plan after the war really cannot keep up with ours. development, but except in a few countries, the Sverdlov-class cruiser can be used as a flagship in any country, and the same is true in China. Indonesia, India, Vietnam, and these countries in Asia have strong maritime power, and they are not It will hinder us, and sea power is American anyway.”

   If the Chinese army is too strong, it will be the problem of the Soviet Union, but if the navy is too strong, it will be the problem of the Americans. If China is willing, Serov believes that the Red Navy can even give away the drawings of the Kirov battle cruiser for free. The Soviet Union can provide whatever the Chinese Navy wants. The powerful Chinese Navy is definitely not the enemy of the Soviet Red Navy.

   China’s joint blockade is not without benefits. It can be seen from the development of Chinese tanks. With the unilateral support of the Soviet Union, China has been unable to develop new tanks for a long time after five pairs of road wheels. After all, things in the Soviet Union belong to the Soviet Union, not China. Without getting rid of its dependence on Soviet technology, China’s military industry will never be able to become independent. Now China has not communicated with me for ten years. Although nothing new has appeared, some technical reserves are accumulating.

   It has been almost ten years under the blockade, and Serov feels that the writing wheels of Chinese military enterprises are almost finished.

   “It sounds good, but it seems to be the case. What’s the next step? I just returned from India, what are my plans?” Brezhnev smiled and sat down, looking very familiar. If it wasn’t for the fact that the first secretary of Leningrad, Torskykov, had not been relieved of his post a month ago, Serov would have believed it.

Now the first secretary of Leningrad is Romanov Grigory Vasilievich. Brezhnev may not have thought that this person has a good personal relationship with Serov and is not a neutral person on the surface. . In other words, Brezhnev took advantage of Torskykov’s visit to dismiss the other party and replaced Sherepin’s friend, but he replaced Serov’s friend.

  Torskikov was arranged to be an ambassador in China, which was better. Having his own friends as ambassadors in China would make it easier for Serov to regulate relations with China.

“The next step is Chile. Except for one problem, Chile is the traditional backyard of the United States. After President Allende came to power, Chile was blocked by the United States. Chile has encountered some problems in a country like ours. That is, the salary has improved, but the price has not risen, and there has been deflation. My enemy, the Central Intelligence Agency, will not miss this opportunity, but Chile is too far away from the Soviet Union, so I can’t reach out.” Serov is also very embarrassed. replied.

“Chile? Nixon wants to do something with Chile. Yes, this possibility is very high. We can’t overestimate the moral standards of imperialism. Your idea is very correct.” Brezhnev was surprised. He attaches great importance to the country. The Soviet Union itself lacks friends in South America. So far, only one country, Cuba, is an ally of the Soviet Union. After Allende came to power, his policy was very pro-Soviet, and he was also valued by the Soviet Union.

“There is a problem in Chile’s reform, and the reactionaries are still strong, so in addition to the European areas where our Soviet army can be powerful, those who are interested do not dare to do it, except in Europe, we should still arm the revolution.” Shelov shrugged.” If we let Allende solve this problem by himself, Chile alone will definitely not be able to solve it.” Even a country like the Soviet Union needs a market, not to mention a country like Chile that is influenced by the United States.

   The socialist majority in parliament gradually introduced socialist measures, while the real economic power remained in the hands of the old ruling class. They can use their economic power to shut down entire factories, create unemployment, drive prices up through speculation and hoarding, send money abroad to create a balance of payments panic, wage a press war to blame the socialist cabinet .

   The Allende government in Chile faces even greater disruption from big business. On two occasions, entire factories were closed due to boss strikes, speculators set prices to kite, merchants hoarded goods, and people lined up for necessities.

   “Can you avoid this problem?” Brezhnev could not bear the consequences of losing Chile. Historically, the reason why Brezhnev quickly changed the detente policy had a lot to do with the coup of Allende in Chile.

Serov shook his head slightly and said weakly, “I’m just the leader of a department. It’s impossible to solve Chile’s problems. The only person who can calm Chilean society is you, Comrade Brezhnev, you are the Soviet Union. general secretary.”

   Although these words are a bit of a flattery, but the fact is that, is the KGB going to the Americas for a military confrontation with the United States? This is simply not possible, only the Soviet Union provided massive aid to Chile, and only Brezhnev could do so.

Almost in an instant, something called international responsibility suddenly appeared in Brezhnev’s mind. The main reason is that the **** stickers who have been pointing fingers at the international situation have shown that there is no way to do it. Only he, the general secretary, can do it. The general secretary raised a feeling that the Soviet Union could not be separated from me. Serov had no choice but to rely on me in the end…

   Brezhnev, who had this idea, thought for a moment and said with an inscrutable look, “Should we consider that this year’s World Congress of the Communist Party and Workers’ Party will be held in Chile.”

Shelov looked very shocked. He now felt that the general secretary was still a ruthless man, so he could blatantly go to Chile, and it would attract worldwide attention. For those generals in Chile, this is a kind of Under the pressure of a tsunami, he finally said, “I believe that, except for a very small number of people, few people dare to coup.”

“Let’s let the wind out first, but let’s not say it will be held in Chile. According to the usual practice, this kind of conference is always held in Moscow. If we let out the wind first, many countries will not think of Chile.” Brezhnev was confident. He said, “Let’s prepare to meet Nixon first. When he leaves, we will go to Chile. You and I will go together. Comrade Kirilenko and Shurik will guide the work in the country.”

   “I’ll welcome Nixon, okay!” Shelov gave a military salute, expressing his obedience to the arrangements of the general secretary.

“No no… You misunderstood what I meant, we have to do considerate diplomatic etiquette, but in private situations, that is, when there are only two of you and Nixon, you can show your attitude, which has nothing to do with the country and me It doesn’t matter.” Brezhnev can still remember the kitchen debate when Nixon was the vice president more than ten years ago, and Serov, who was in charge of the security work at that time, had an eye-catching performance. It has severely humiliated the United States in terms of people’s livelihood.

At the end of May, when Nixon’s special plane arrived in Moscow, Brezhnev, Kirilenko, Serov and other members of the Central Presidium all appeared and greeted him at the airport. Seeing Nixon getting off the plane, Serov was thinking about the Watergate incident. time, this year or next year? (To be continued~^~)
