Chapter 386 Vietnam Issue

Maybe because of the long working time in the KGB, Selov is now doing things directly. At least when he feels that his strength is stronger than the other party, he basically won’t think about any impact. Is a football organization worth making a fuss?

Soviet football teams are always hacked, and Selov can understand that the world's number one sport is huge. If the Soviet Union is not controlled, it would be fine if it is as weak as the American football team, but it wouldn't be able to enter the World Cup anyway. The problem is that Soviet football is very strong, no worse than traditional football teams. This is a problem.

"Which football hooligan plays with me? I wonder if we are specializing in dealing with hooligans?" Selov pinched his finger bones and made a crackling sound. He decided to start buying tickets for the European Cup Soviet football team to participate in the European Cup, arrange for KGB staff to go abroad to watch the game, and then see who dares to play tricks under the eyelids of the anti-counterfeiting workers.

In the Great Kremlin, Selov gave a report on this mission in front of Khrushchev and Kozlov, and told all the specific operations in India recently. Of course, it focused on the food problem, and it was also the food problem. The food problem has always plagued the Soviet leadership. Selov was puzzled by this point. Maybe it was really a factor that the Soviets could eat more. Judging from the data, the Soviet Union should not have such a problem.

"It is very good to solve some of our food problems from India. The report says that India's food production potential is very high. Is that true?" Kozlov was also confused about India's statistics. If the statistics in India are true, is it the Soviets wasted too much? Or is the Indians hiding the famine?

"Yes, in fact, many Southeast Asian countries, including India, have huge potential for food. Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and even Indonesia, all of them can grow food three times a year. Our country really can't do this. Maybe it can be around Sochi." Selov said in a scattered manner.

"What a pity, there is no ally over there!" Kozlov said with some regret. North Vietnam is the only socialist country in Southeast Asia. It is a fantasy to expect such a small country to solve the food problem of the Soviet Union. If they do not come to the door to ask for assistance, it will be the greatest help to the Soviet Union.

"There is news that Vietnam seems to be changing. Kennedy intervenes in that country through the situation of special wars. I really hope that it can evolve into a Korean War, so that we have the opportunity to buy time." Selov wanted to tell Khrushchev from the side, not to forget Vietnam.

"Vietnam?" Brezhnev, who had just walked to the office door to knock, happened to hear Selov's words, was stunned for a moment, then came in and sat aside, waiting for Selov to talk to Khrushchev after finishing his work.

"Send a military advisory team to command the South Vietnamese army to fight? This will not turn into a real war. It seems that Chinese comrades are more enthusiastic about this matter, so let them do it!" Khrushchev waved his hand and didn't want to talk much. In his opinion, the United States will not expand the scale of the war. This low-intensity war has no impact on the strength of the United States.

Given the extent to which the United States has just intervened in Vietnam, Khrushchev cannot be wrong in making this judgment. After all, no one can see what the future will be like. Shelov wanted to open his mouth and finally said nothing. Until Khrushchev stepped down, the Soviet Union made a tepid statement on the Vietnam issue and did not support it. It may be this attitude that made the United States feel at ease and boldly penetrate into Vietnam, and there is nothing wrong with this.

This summer, after the leaders of China and Vietnam jointly analyzed the serious situation caused by the invasion of US special forces in southern Vietnam, China decided to immediately provide Vietnam with guns and cannons equipped with 200 infantry battalions free of charge. In contrast to Chinese aid to Vietnam, the Soviet Union adopted a passive avoidance policy towards Vietnam's anti-US and unification struggle, limiting support for Vietnam as much as possible to public opinion, with less economic aid to Vietnam, especially military aid. The statement issued by the Soviet Union on this incident was also a mild tone.

In order to say that he had nothing to do with Vietnam's actions, Khrushchev also wrote a letter to US President Johnson, stating that he had recently made a statement from Washington, the order issued by the US side and the news media reports that even after the Cuban missile crisis, Khrushchev was not prepared to provide large-scale assistance to Vietnam.

When the United States intervened on a large scale, the Soviet Union happened to catch up with Khrushchev's step down. In fact, it was Brezhnev who made the decision to aid Vietnam. When she thought of this, Shelov glanced at the quiet Brezhnev. This man was like a comfortable tiger, but many people regarded him as a cat.

Selov always felt afraid of Brezhnev. During the Khrushchev period, the Soviet Union had always adopted a policy of easing against the United States. It was only when Brezhnev came to power that he began to fight with the United States. It cannot be said that Brezhnev was not strong. Although he may not be so talented, he did not lack the determination to confront him. But the problem is that this man must have taken away himself by the way when he dealt with Xie Lieping. He really dared not put his hope on Brezhnev.

"Okay, Yuri! This is a good thing. Remember to come and participate at the meeting of the Central Committee at the beginning of next month!" Kozlov said with a smile on his lips, "Some comrades think you can have a bigger stage to play a role."

"The country will not put its hopes on you in vain. I hope we have not read the wrong person!" Khrushchev summarized Serov's overseas solution to the Cuban missile crisis and the Sino-India issue with a sentence that Serov often spoke.

Khrushchev has always hoped that the Soviet leadership could make a smooth transition, at least not to have the situation where the elderly take up all their positions. It is best that the old, middle-aged and young cadres work together, and the young cadres of Serepin, Yegorechev, and Semciasne are the young cadres that Khrushchev value.

"Yura!" Before Selov left the Kremlin, he was called out by Brezhnev who came out of Khrushchev's office. "Is there anything wrong? President Brezhnev?" Selov replied in a gentle tone.

"It's nothing. At this year's National Security Conference, the first and second secretaries had itineraries on that day, so I will attend the meeting on behalf of the Central Presidium that day!" Brezhnev glanced at Selov deeply and said, "And will Vietnam evolve into the scale of the Korean War?"

"The possibility is very high!" Selov lit a cigarette in his mouth, and lit another one for Brezhnev, saying, "China's fierce attitude is enough to attract American attention. Now the special war has just begun, and everything has an evolutionary process. Perhaps the scale of the war will expand in the future. Once a scene like the Korean War occurs, we can wake up laughing when we sleep..."

"This is true. We can wake up laughing when we sleep!" Brezhnev nodded very well and said, "In fact, it's not too late for us to get involved when the scale is expanded, but Yura, you seem to be particularly enthusiastic about this matter!"

"If the US military power is not involved in a place, it will be difficult for us to have a breakthrough. Many of my plans are based on the restraint of the US's power!" Serov said helplessly, "Who makes the Americans' national strength really stronger than us? I simply don't lack time to wait for opportunities, and I don't think Americans will never make mistakes!"

After a cigarette, Selov said goodbye. Brezhnev kept watching the figure in front of him disappear before throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand and slowly returned to the Supreme Soviet building.

At this year's National Security Conference, 3,000 KGB system cadres from all over the Soviet Union attended the meeting. Anti-counterfeiting workers with blue hats, border guards with green hats, inner guards with gray hats, internal affairs cadres with red hats, and cadres from KGB system gathered in Moscow to hold the annual National Security Conference.

"Can I summon the dragons of all the hats of seven colors be summoned? If I make a wish, I want to see what a real society is like. It's a pity. I've never seen it before." While Semichasne made a passionate speech, Selov, who was sitting next to Semichasne, thought about these unscrupulous questions.

"Next, please invite Comrade Selov, the first vice chairman beside me, to give a speech to supplement this meeting." Selov's speech came to an end, and Selov and Itvasov made speeches.

Shelov was stunned, then stood up and spoke, "Hello comrades, anti-counterfeiting workers, border guards, internal guards, internal affairs cadres, garrison representatives, and all security cadres. I have just returned to Moscow in the past two days, so I am not convenient to talk about the specific matters, I hope comrades will understand!"

After a warm applause, Selov reached out and pressed his hand and continued, "Then let me talk about a joke. Recently, I heard a joke. Some people say that the Soviet Union can always overcome difficulties that do not exist in other societies. I wonder what you think?"

"I tell you that this system and standards are the first of our country. It supports us to this day. Many capitalist countries have never been able to restrain the difficulties that the Soviet Union has not encountered, right?" At this time, Selov's face changed. "I believe that this kind of argument of kneeling down and praying for peace should be wary of all the comrades here. Who are we? We have never had one work to do, smell it out and eradicate the traitors! Find potential enemies and ensure that the Soviet Union continues to develop. This is the KGB..."
