Chapter 426: China Aid the Soviet Union
This is the first time that Selov submitted a security report to Khrushchev. This will be a regular link in his work in the future, assessing whether the country is stable, whether anyone is dissatisfied with the central government, especially Khrushchev himself. It is the interaction between the Soviet National Security Council and the Soviet First Secretary, and it is also the source of mutual trust between the two sides.
This trust is based on the work of the KGB. As a powerful agency, it controls the cadre class in the Soviet Union and creates a benign interaction with the first secretary. It is worthy of the KGB's existence for the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Neither Khrushchev nor Brezhnev will take the initiative to change this, because they need the existence of such a department more than anyone else.
The KGB can be weakened, but it will never disappear. This is a practical need. To be honest, the vitality of the KGB is even stronger than that of the Soviet Union. Until later Russia, the country was controlled by a group of security cadres. The people who control the country have never changed, but they changed a brand and walked to the front desk openly.
Now, as long as Selov ensures that there is no problem, he will probably be more optimistic that the Soviet Union will fall into his hands sooner or later, because security cadres clearly know what this country needs and are also the group that is most aware of the changes in the world.
The Communist Qingcheng was built in accordance with the planning of the Soviet Far East Industrial Center. It is an emerging industrial city. The total production of industrial products accounts for 80% of the total production of various departments of the city's national economy and 40% of the total industrial output in the Khabarovsk border region. The largest proportion in the industrial structure is the machinery manufacturing industry, accounting for 60%, ferrous metals account for 10%, and petroleum processing and chemical industry account for 12%. Machinery manufacturing is the economic foundation of the Amur Gongqingcheng.
During the reclaiming of the coastal harbor, the Communist Youth League is a base that provides large-scale mechanical support. The Soviet Communist Youth League mobilized 300,000 Communist Youth League members to go to the Far East. In this reclaiming plan, 300,000 Communist Youth League members will become the main force here.
"What a beautiful scenery here. As our Chairman said, mountains and waters are a good place. To be honest, if our Chairman had never made any mistakes in judgment, I would not want to destroy the environment here." Lieutenant General Serjiuko, Director of the State Administration of Espionage, walked in the grass and sighed a little.
Next to Lieutenant General Serdukko is General Zeryanov, Director of the KGB Border Defense Administration. It is not surprising that General Zeryanov appears here. In the long border line of the Soviet Union, the KGB Border Defense Force's tasks are very heavy, unlike the manpower that Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia are not lacking. In the areas where the border with Mongolia and China are bordered by China, the Soviet Border Defense Force must bear huge workloads. As the situation changes, the border defense zone in the Far East has begun to take on daily strengthening of military equipment.
"Yes, this place is actually more developed than Central Asia and a little warmer than Central Siberia!" Admiral Zeryanov, wearing a green general uniform, is actually not unfamiliar with the situation here. As the commander of the border defense force, he spent a large part of the year on the long border line of the Soviet Union. He often would not attend the meetings of the KGB presidium.
"The Chairman chose a good place. As he said, there is something called stability here. Generally speaking, there will be no natural disasters!" Lieutenant General Serdoko nodded. Before coming here from Moscow, Serdov once said that there will be basically no natural disasters in the coastal harbor. The same is true in the northeastern region of China across the river. Geographically, once there is uncontrollable natural disasters in this place, the situation of the entire Soviet Union or China cannot be seen. This place is a very stable climate. Except for the colder climate, the precipitation is not much or too much, and it is very stable every year. If there is a climate abnormality here, then there is no other place that is different.
It can be said that apart from paying attention to snow-melting floods, ice floods and cold currents, nothing will appear in the planting season suitable for agriculture. By the way, beware of trivial matters such as wild boar herds, Selov did not give any instructions alone.
Ice floods mainly occur in early spring. When the climate warms up, the frozen ice cubes in northern rivers begin to melt. Because some river sections flow from low latitude to high latitude, when the temperature rises and the river freezes, the upper reaches of the low latitude will freeze first, while the lower reaches of the high latitude are still frozen, and the upstream river water and ice cubes accumulate in the lower reaches of the riverbed to form river dams. The ice plugs or ice dams formed by a large amount of ice blockage intercept the upstream water, resulting in a high water level in the upstream. When the ice plugs dissolve or the ice dam collapses, the water storage capacity of the trough quickly drops down to form ice floods. Ice floods may also occur when the rivers are frozen.
"The border guards here should be updated. I don't know what our chairman is going to deal with this matter. Although the chairman means to maintain restraint, we cannot make our soldiers feel insecure." General Zeryanov said worriedly. Although the changes in relations between the Soviet Union and China are not as fierce as in history, as the commander of the border guard, he is one of the group of people the Soviet Union feels most clearly about. The ports between the Soviet Union and China are much colder than during the honeymoon period, and almost all the ports and shipping are cooling down. This is the most obvious thing that General Zeryanov often comes to the Far East.
"The Chairman means that if the support provided by the Communist Youth City is not enough, we should ask China for support!" Lieutenant General Serjiuko also said with a hint of uncertainty when he spoke, "I don't know why the Chairman said that. Are Chinese comrades waiting for us to ask them?"
"I don't know, will China be happy for our request for help?" Admiral Zeryanov thought for a moment, "Then I'll try it. If Chinese comrades agree to help, it will also speed up our reclamation plan. This is a good thing."
Of course, China must have urgently broken the bad reputation of China-India war, otherwise it would not start large-scale foreign aid. Who doesn’t know that large-scale aid is worth losing? Only the Chinese are smart? I think there are no ungrateful wolves in the Soviet camp in the United States? The ungrateful wolves aided by the Soviet Union were in groups, and the closer ones were Yugoslavia and Albania, and the less obedient North Korea was closest to the Far East, not to mention the black uncles in Africa who found their elder brother once in a coup.
There are also a group of younger brothers who make themselves big, such as South Korea, South Vietnam, and the Philippines, which have always been very scammed in this era, in order to curb India's support of Pakistan, etc. Americans also accept their fate. As long as they can withstand the aggressive socialist movement, they can get a little bit of scam...
China, which urgently needs to break the diplomatic dilemma, is not afraid of spending money at this time, but is afraid of being really blocked and separated from the world. The latter is the real fatal thing. If it is really blocked and isolated by the world, no matter how hard China is tormenting, it will not cause any waves.
Because in this historical time and space, China's Warring States Period was larger and did not withdraw its troops, so the situation of being isolated was even greater than in history. Although Sino-Soviet relations were cooling down, they were far less severe than in history. Selov's actions to sacrifice India were not in vain. The British said it well that the British Empire would not surrender until the blood of the Indian people was dry. This sentence is too true. Otherwise, if the other party was old imperialism, Selov realized this sentence and achieved great results. Because of the hostility of the southwest direction with India, even if China and the Soviet Union could not sing an unbreakable alliance in the future, the relationship would not deteriorate to the point of war.
The place was occupied, and at the same time, China also gained a lot of bad reputations and was more hostile than in history. The powerful country has been practicing for so many years, and there is Britain and the United States waving flags and shouting behind it. At this time, China was unprecedentedly isolated. In this environment, Selov concluded that as long as the coastal harbor opened its mouth, China would definitely provide assistance.
This is something that each other needs. China needs a stepping stone to prove its value and go to Africa to provide assistance alone. Maybe the black uncles don’t believe in China at first. There is the United States and the Soviet Union in the world. Why do we ask China for assistance? First, aiding the Soviet Union’s coastal harbor will set off our own sign. Selov estimates that China will definitely promote the news of aid to the Soviet Union and then take this opportunity to enter Africa.
Selov cannot directly give this stepping stone to China, helping China gain a foothold in Africa, which will be criticized by other cadres who are vigilant about China. However, he can help China make a name through roundabout battles, and at the same time help him to build a reclamation and construction in the coastal harbor and increase the progress of reclamation.
Even General Zeryanov did not expect that when he made a request for assistance to China, the other party agreed immediately after a brief reporting time, which simply exceeded his own estimate, and his enthusiastic attitude was unsightly.
"This is why I am the Chairman of the KGB! I am such a genius..." After receiving a telegram from General Zeryanov and Lieutenant General Serjiko, Serjiko praised himself without hesitation. When China began to aid Africa, once African countries had doubts about China, China would definitely say that I have experienced many battles and have seen many things. Do the Soviet Union in the north know that it is higher than you, and I have helped the Soviet Union...
