Chapter 206 Come to the KGB
Considering that it has finally eased a little bit of relationship with the Red Army, it would be best if Brezhnev did this.
As expected by Selov, India, which felt quite good before the Sino-Indian War, was very interested in the Soviet Union's suggestions. Selov's conjecture was also very open and he gave the Indian side a message on the excuse of aiding the Third World agriculture. The example is ready-made. Everyone knows that the Soviet Union put a lot of effort in Africa. Even if he shouted a slogan of the Year of Independence in Africa, it would be enough to impress India, which was quite happy to play and form an alliance.
In the hearts of Selov, everyone knew that Nehru had declared that India would be a great power with great significance. This year, so many African colonies were independent and established. As a great power with great significance, wouldn’t I say that? There are many independent countries here. Among the British colonies, there are many British colonies. In addition to Australia and Canada, the remaining colonies have the highest status among the remaining colonies.
Especially in many African countries, where white British people cannot manage, they often mobilize populations from India to be responsible for local public security and management. These British colonies in Africa have different Indian populations. It can be said that India naturally has the opportunity to intervene in Africa. When India, which was later in life, was far behind China in this regard, there were too many reasons for India to fail, not just this aspect, and Selov didn't want to say more.
India's enthusiasm, or the kindness released by the Soviet Union, surprised Selov. You must know that he did not state in the telegram that India would provide many cows, but after considering India's attitude, Selov's psychological price instantly changed from 500,000 to 1 million. Anyway, India is full of cows, and they don't eat them themselves. It's better to solve the actual problems of the Soviet Union, without foreign exchange? It doesn't matter. The Soviet Union was more suckers, but it gave a lot of assistance. This time, barter cannot be said to pay compensation. There are so many bullets left in World War II today. Major defense companies are still producing continuously to guard against the legendary world war. What the Soviet Union does not lack the most is weapons.
When the Soviet ambassador to India continued to communicate with Nehru, it was October 1960. Nehru should be preparing for the war. As for whom he was preparing to attack, Selov could tell at a glance, but it was a shameless defeat. India did not end up losing after arduous resistance, but it was a fragile defeat that was not at the same level. At this time, if you don’t seize the opportunity to exchange for something that the Soviet Union got with weapons. When India lost nothing left, the Soviet Union would have to be a sucker again. Military aid was definitely necessary. Instead of giving it for free, it would be better to let Selov solve the actual problems of the Soviet Union now.
"The African countries in the Third World have just become independent and should support them well. Our Soviet Union is also competing for influence with the United States. You say that, and then transport all the cattle supported by India to me. Why? You say that the species in Asia and Africa are different. The Soviet Union wants scientists to test whether there will be animal diseases that cannot be resisted in Africa. Yes, that's it!" Shelov held the phone to negotiate with Moscow. He really wanted to call the phone directly to New Delhi and communicate directly with the Soviet ambassador to India, but unfortunately he was slightly beyond the current technological development of the era. He was also qualified to use the hotline, a vice chairman of the KGB...
"I don't need to teach you when we get to our local area, right? Notify the state-owned slaughterhouses in various places to send professionals to check the quality of the cattle, pick out the delicious meat and slaughter them. The skinny and boneless look like they don't look energetic and feed some grass to Africa. It's said that it is the ox that India has assisted African agriculture. Well, no problem..." Sherov huh and hung up the phone. He let out a long breath, "The problem is solved, at least there should be no problem with the supply of meat this year..."
"Good! It's so beautiful..." In fact, it took only one day from proposal to action, but it left a profound impact on Brezhnev. Selov's allocation of telegrams by calling and sending telegrams was like giving Brezhnev an illusion that the whole world was surrounding him. It was obvious that the supply of meat in the Soviet Union this year had evolved into a very difficult thing because of domestic problems. However, because of Selov's suggestion, a few telegrams and phone calls were solved.
If this matter is simply solved by import and export, it would be fine, but anyone can buy things with money. But no, it is not surprising to scrape the ground from Mongolia. It is reverse thinking to import pork from the Arab region under the guise of religion. It is difficult to import beef from India, and Indians are really interested in Selov's proposal. The description in the telegram is like rushing up, which makes Brezhnev admire. The context of the international situation must be understood very clearly...
Selov seemed to know what India needs, and he had to know a lot about India. Brezhnev was sure that Selov had never been to India. Can he know the situation around the world by looking at the information every day? Brezhnev didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it, but it was undoubtedly true that things had been resolved...
Brezhnev, who thought he had keen judgment, found that Selov could not be judged by meeting him once. Perhaps because of the unfamiliar relationship between the two parties, Brezhnev thought, "Some people's personality and thinking require long-term contact to make correct judgments. Obviously, the first vice chairman of the KGB is multifaceted..."
Unlike Serepin, Brezhnev is far less trusting than Serepin that his subordinates will not betray him. In his eyes, Serepin is still a little younger. Didn’t Khrushchev come from behind and become Kaganovich’s assistant to Kaganovich’s boss? The lessons of the past are not far away, and nothing in this world is impossible...
Khrushchev is ready to return to China. The first secretary who had just knocked on the table at the United Nations was in a bad mood at this time. While knocking on the table by himself, the unparalleled Soviet intercontinental missile that he said exploded on the launch pad. It is foreseeable that members of the Central Presidium will inevitably be blamed.
Can a cadre be accommodated by a cadre with greater power than himself? The answer is yes, because Brezhnev is by his side. He had previously refused to take a plane back to Moscow. Selov was always avoiding handing over his life to the sky unless he was particularly urgent. In his opinion, if someone was noticed by someone, he would not even have a chance to escape. The plane is the safest means of transportation, and if something really happens, it is also the tool with the highest mortality rate.
"I didn't expect that our senior cadres who work in safety have this kind of quirk?" Brezhnev said with great amusement, "Is this your psychological factor? Do you keep avoiding flying?"
"I just don't want to hand over my life to fate. As a land creature, I still like to feel down-to-earth!" While speaking, I didn't forget to give Brezhnev a glass of red wine. Usually, high-latitude areas are alcoholic powers, and the Soviet Union is no exception. The Soviet Union has not only the rumored vodka, but in fact the Soviet Union's red wine production is not low. It's just that it is covered up by vodka.
It is quite interesting to have a member of the Central Presidium to accompany him. This person is not his direct superior. Judging from Brezhnev's current position, no one will regard Brezhnev as the later leader of the Soviet Union, but this is not just a clash of strength. Khrushchev's heir valued has suffered a stroke in history, so Brezhnev, who was originally considered to have withdrawn from the ranks of successors, returned to people's attention because of a little bit of luck.
"Do you want to go to Ryazan?" asked the assistant beside Brezhnev. This man is also famous in history. The Soviet leader of the Soviet Union after Andropov, Chernenko, but even the boss of the Dnepro gang was in front of him. Chernenko, a transitional leader, would no longer surprise Selov.
"Well, see if the problem of Ryazan has been solved!" Sherov thought he was very polite to everyone and said in detail, "It is definitely impossible to make up for Ryazan's meat, but some side dishes can still become good highlights this year. It is not that they cannot be promoted as positive achievements. I also need to investigate it carefully."
"My daughter is not two years younger than Comrade Selov. Unfortunately, she knows how to enjoy it every day. It is really a headache to have good-looking clothes and foreign products!" When she said this, Brezhnev was absolutely not faked, and he was just a character who could not discipline his daughter's father.
"Galina? Brezhneva?" Shelov thought about the name of Brezhnev's eldest daughter. Historically, there was a big corruption case in the late Soviet Union. He finally became an alcoholic and was sent to a mental hospital. He pointed his temple a few times with his fingers. Shelov said slowly, "If Chairman Brezhnev thinks that your daughter is just negligent in discipline, she can come to work in the KGB. Of course, I only have one requirement, and I cannot become a traitor under any circumstances..."
"I am an old Communist Party member. How could my daughter not love the Soviet Union?" Brezhnev said with great amusement.
