Chapter 154 The spy fell into the pit
This issue must be clarified. There was an accident in three places in Algeria, Vietnam and Indonesia at the same time. This was not something Dulles could figure out by locking himself in the office. Henry, the Director of Intelligence Director, was recruited again, including the specific person in charge of the CIA's Asian Division, to understand the Soviet Union and of course China's specific strategic offensive direction.
"Now we all understand that the Soviets have begun to take an offensive posture again, which shows that Khrushchev's visit to the United States cannot change the fundamental conflict between the two countries. Now, based on what we understand, let's talk about where is the direction that should be truly contained?" Dulles' tone was actually helpless, and the sorrow of being on the defensive side lies here. The strong American national strength supports the comprehensive encirclement, but the Soviet Union is not a soft persimmon! The United States is not much stronger than the Soviet Union. Such a large encirclement seems to block the Soviet Union in all directions, but in fact the power in each direction is very limited! Except for the strongest part of Europe, the United States in other directions is to curb the expansion of the Soviet Union in the way of cooperation with local countries.
The Soviet Union, on the offensive end, was much more at ease. It was possible to first ignite the fire to see the reality of the Americans' power, and then plan the next step of action. This time, the shadow of the KGB appeared in Algeria, North Africa, Southeast Asia, and the situation in Vietnam was becoming increasingly tense, which instantly made the encirclement riddled. Dulles certainly wanted to extinguish all three ignition points at the same time, but this was completely beyond the capabilities of the CIA.
"Director, as far as I know, the Vice Chairman of the KGB, Selov, is in Indonesia. Khrushchev had just returned from Indonesia. Selov immediately led a delegation from the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs to Indonesia. We must pay attention to this matter!" Henry, as the director of the Intelligence Department, has always had his own views on Selov, especially after the incident in Italy and Berlin, the danger of the Vice Chairman of the Soviet KGB has risen significantly in his heart, and now he has become a little obsessed with it.
"Calm down, Henry! Shelov is just a person, and it's not his turn to formulate the entire Soviet strategy!" Dulles seized the opportunity to wake up his intelligence director. For a while, Dulles also had this emotion. It was not until Hoover taught him to be a human being that he realized that a person's power was limited. He was the director of the CIA and was still restricted by Hoover, let alone Schlov was just one of the vice-chairmen of the KGB.
Dulles forgot one thing. The US National Security Agency, the FBI and the CIA are at the same level. The only difference is that of the director. The department is strong if the director is strong. But the Soviet Union is not like this. The Soviet KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Gru and Ukraine are not at the same level. The KGB has leadership over the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Gru and Ukraine. So as long as Xie Lieping, as the chairman of the KGB, does not restrict him, no one will be able to control him.
Selov could do whatever he wanted. Except for Serepin, only Khrushchev could deal with him. However, Khrushchev was very busy and could not come specifically to deal with a vice chairman of the KGB.
"The above three directions are two in Asia and one in Africa! Asia is still the focus!" The speaker was Ernst, Director of the Asian Division. Ernst was in his forties and had worked in the Federal Germany. He was an official promoted from the front-line agent of the CIA. Unlike ordinary cadres, he also had a job experience in Asia during World War II.
"Yes, Ernst continues to talk!" Dulles attached great importance to the director of the Asia Department. Ernst has made certain achievements in understanding East Asian countries, so once Asian issues are involved, Dulles always wants to talk to Ernst.
"Okay, Vice Chairman! Let me analyze it briefly first! You have said that Selov is just a person and is not qualified to formulate the strategic direction of the Soviet Union. This sentence is very correct. We analyze without personal feelings. This Soviet delegation is actually more like the follow-up of the Soviet aid to Indonesia after Khrushchev visited Indonesia! Let's talk about this matter first!" Ernst walked to the world map hanging on the wall and pointed to the direction of Africa and said, "Let's talk about Algeria first. Algeria and the Soviet Union are not bordered, and it can even be said to be very far away, although this
The second public opinion created a great momentum, but it was Poland who finally came forward to form a military advisory group. It can be seen that the Soviet Union itself did not think it could cross the Mediterranean to defeat France, so Poland was allowed to play freely! Even with Egypt's support, Libya's default still cannot be done! So I can basically assert that the problem of creating such a great momentum to hype Algeria was the smoke bomb deliberately released by the Soviet Union! Even if it really participated, it would be a good thing for us in the United States. We can give France secret support to let France fight against the Soviet Union..."
Ernst's words made Dulles and Henry nod frequently, obviously endorsing Ernst's analysis. They did not think that the Soviet Union would really cross the sea and overturn the French and fight against these old imperialism. The United States and the Soviet Union are consistent in this regard. However, if they really want to steal the colonies from them, they have to consider it again! And even if they make a mistake in judgment, it doesn't matter. It's better for the Soviet Union and France to fight to the death, it will only benefit and not harm the United States. At that time, they will secretly support France and let them fight for a longer time.
"So the main offensive direction is in Asia. Now let's analyze whether it is Vietnam or Indonesia!" Ernst talked to his two bosses, "Algeria is likely to be a smoke bomb. Indonesia is now Selov is there. Indonesia's Communist Party power is developing very quickly, but we have a good relationship with the Indonesian military! In a short period of time, we and the Soviets cannot break the deadlock. Although Selov is very capable, he is just a person and cannot break the political situation in Indonesia! So the real strategic offensive direction is to support only places where there is no sound, Vietnam on the Indochina Peninsula..."
"That's it!" Dulles came to the White House that night to meet Eisenhower. Although Eisenhower only had his last year's term, Dulles still dared not neglect. His brother, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, is deeply trusted by Eisenhower. Of course, in a democratic and free America, this is the trust of the people in their brothers, so one is the Secretary of State and the other is the Director of the CIA, which is different from the Soviet Union's poor people forming a dictatorial empire.
"That is to say, Algeria is just a smoke bomb! It was the Soviet Union who deliberately released it to disrupt our sight? Indonesia is an isolated geographical range, and with the Soviet Navy, it is impossible for a sudden change, so there is no need to care! The real danger is Vietnam?" Eisenhower confirmed, "Is that true?"
"That's right, Mr. President! Algeria seems to be a huge momentum, but the Soviet Union has made Poland take the lead. Indonesia is more like Khrushchev's subsequent visit. Moreover, it is difficult for the Soviet Union to change anything. Even China's power in Indonesia is similar to that of the Soviet Union! But Vietnam is not like this!" Dulles' tone suddenly became stronger, "North Vietnam has established an organization to infiltrate South Vietnam, and the social security of South Vietnam has become increasingly turbulent! Moreover, North Vietnam is easily supported by China. If the Soviet Union recognizes this direction of offensive, it is likely that a Korean war will occur! This is very dangerous..."
"Aren't we already sent a military advisory team to help South Vietnam reorganize its troops? And North Vietnam has not taken the initiative to attack south now. If it can be expanded into a ground war, it would be better not to expand!" Eisenhower shook his head and said, "I hope the Soviet group knows how to stop it, otherwise it will make us, the United States very embarrassed if it turns into a Korean war!"
The Korean War is no longer a war in which the United States has not won. As a US president who was a soldier, Eisenhower did not want to encounter it once in his glorious and beautiful military career, even if he made a decision during his presidency.
"Since the Soviets cannot cause any changes in Indonesia, we should follow the established methods to provide necessary support to the Indonesian military and suppress the spread of communism! Vietnam should indeed pay attention to it. I will apply for economic and military support to South Vietnam in the parliament! As long as the expansion of the Soviet group is withstood on the Indochina Peninsula, there will be no trouble in Indonesia. That kind of maritime country cannot be supported by the Soviet Navy..." Eisenhower made the decision.
The CIA cracked the smoke bombs released by the Soviet Union in Algeria with extremely fast efficiency, and at the same time analyzed that Selov could not make any progress in Indonesia. In the end, he locked his target in Vietnam and blocked Vietnam's offensive southward, so that Southeast Asia would not be swallowed up by the Soviet group.
If Selov in Jakarta knew that after a long analysis, he would have come up with such a result, he would have said that Americans are all stupid and are really jumping into a pit called Vietnam according to the historical process! The Communist spy Dulles will definitely receive the medal of meritorious service for the motherland issued by Selov!
This is a bit of annihilation of Dulles. To be fair, the CIA can analyze in a short period of time that Algeria is a smoke bomb, and it is already very powerful to block the Soviet group from moving south with the help of the Indochina Peninsula. However, these guys obviously don’t understand what kind of organization the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs system is!
The complete Ministry of Internal Affairs can make Beria the actual controller of the Soviet Union. Even if it is split, it is one of the power centers of the Soviet Union. Even if Selov helps Indonesia establish such a department according to the weakened Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is now weakened by the Soviet Union, it is not just on par with the army, but as long as the Ministry of Internal Affairs is combined with President Sukarno, it will definitely make the Indonesian Army miserable, and it has its own halo of anti-Bonapartism. It has become the enemy of the military since its establishment.
"Students, Greater Indonesianists, and Sukarno's staunch supporters, these people are members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Once the third force is established, Indonesia will not leave the established track! Americans are playing military coups, so we have to see the quality of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Serov, who was lying on the table, finished his plan and prepared to show Handayani the next day. (To be continued.)
