Chapter 483 The Vietnam War

"Yuri's suggestion is very good. The biggest enemy is always the United States. We are just quarreling with China.?<?<(" Suslov immediately expressed his support. In the understanding of many people, China is just learning from Yugoslavia and wanting to stand on its own. It is actually tolerant to break away from control, but don't extend your hands to the Soviet Union's power.

What the Soviet Union could not tolerate was that after China's independence, it extended its hands to Eastern Europe, and Eastern European countries relied on China's support to dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's control. This issue cannot be discussed and the Soviet Union will never tolerate it.

By 1964, the Soviet Union had stabilized its basic foundation, but the most intense time had passed. Now Selov proposed that it was a very normal suggestion to ease relations with China under the premise of a common enemy.

For the Soviet Union, the overall situation is the United States. As long as it can deal with the United States, let alone be friends with China, it has nothing to do with being friends with the Federal Republic of Germany. Isn’t it just that 30 million people were killed, and these are not problems.

This issue has also caused some controversy, but in fact most of the opinions still recognized the proposal, especially Suslov expressed strong support. In the end, Khrushchev followed the opinions of most members and improved relations with China, but did not let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do it. This task fell on Andropov, the Minister of the Central Liaison Department. Just like during the Sino-Indian War, Andropov needed to go to China after the United States made a statement on the Beibu Gulf incident.

The reason why Selov didn't want the Soviet Union to intervene in the Vietnam War immediately was that in addition to letting the United States step into the quagmire with confidence, it was mainly because he did not want to disperse his power before the overall situation in Indonesia. According to historical time, Indonesia's coup was also imminent. At this time, the risk of dispersing the KGB's power in Southeast Asia joined the Vietnam War is unimaginable.

If you don’t watch Indonesia’s movements, the Vietnam War will be won. At most, it will be like history that the United States has kidney deficiency for a period of time. If you want to cause strategic failure, you still have to control Indonesia. Apart from Western Europe, there are only a few valuable places, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. Among them, the Middle East is accessible to the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union’s own power is somewhat inaccessible, it can borrow China’s influence. It’s no matter how everyone is. As for the group of black uncles in Africa, they just leave their power to fate. No one knows whether they can succeed. In addition to displaying their intelligence networks, South America is waiting for opportunities in a short period of time.

The premise of all this is to formally join the war, otherwise nothing will be useful. Serov spent an extraordinarily long time in the Kremlin. After the meeting at night, Serov and Andropov left the Kremlin together.

The heat during the day has dissipated, and the two enjoyed the unique breeze of Moscow's summer evening. From the perspective of work, they have a very common language. The things in charge overlap. Just say a few words to find a common language.

"Chairman Selov, if the United States really participates in the war in full, what does this mean to us?" Andropov looked at the KGB President sitting next to him. Compared with him, Selov's posture was not so serious, like a paralyzed patient, or like a pool of mud.

"What does it mean? It means that their death is coming. I can finally avoid considering the factors of the United States to interfere with my plans!" Selov instantly recovered from his paralysis and elongated his voice meaningfully, "Americans always think that they are invincible in the world and can settle everything in one country. They think that the Korean War is just an accident. If they fight with this kind of psychological war, the price they pay is unimaginable. Wait, there are so many related plans of the KGB that can be pulled by truck!"

"Oh?" Andropov smiled, as if he was quite interested in this topic, and asked, "Where are there any plans related to China? You also know that the Chinese are actually a difficult negotiating opponent." When he said this, Andropov shook his head, as if he was quite helpless about this situation.

China in this era gives people the impression that it is not touching, it is not hard, nor is it soft. Even when the Soviet Union faces China, it feels like there is nowhere to talk. If Southeast Asia finally follows China and brings up a bunch of friends, will China sing and sing a stage drama with the Soviet Union? Selov is not worried. Small countries next to big countries will fight far and near. Once China and the Soviet Union quarrel, socialist countries such as Eastern Europe will definitely support the Soviet Union, and socialism in Southeast Asia will definitely not support China.

But? This kind of verbal talk is about others, and Selov is not in this ranks. He answered Andropov's question with a constant expression, "After arriving in China, you can ask about China's atomic bomb process on an appropriate occasion, without threatening it, and tell them directly that we have controlled the progress and it should be successful within three months."

The time of China's atomic bomb test explosion is similar to that of Khrushchev's resignation, and Selov's memory is correct. Now he is watching in the Soviet Union. As long as there are signs of Khrushchev's coup, he will definitely notice it. There is no need to worry about this problem.

"What news is this? Is it almost successful?" Andropov asked in surprise. "It's so fast. I think there is no hope in the past few years. It seems that the Chinese are also trying their best."

Is that life-saving thing not so fast? Selov shrugged and said, "I'm speculating based on the smoothest progress. It may not be accurate, but you can use this topic to test China. This will have some effect on your visit. Of course, we mainly talk about cooperation. This issue is not important. Tell China at the appropriate time that we can know this."

Otherwise, why is Selov the chairman of the KGB? It can be said that as a person with memories of later generations, he can afford to half of the workload of the KGB himself. Nothing has been revealed yet. Selov first confirmed to search for it in the KGB, and it will be twice the result with half the effort. Today, he has won four Lenin medals. The last time he was successfully awarded Brezhnev's medal because of the Sudan coup, but he was unwilling to mention such a small matter.

The two chatted for a while, and before parting, Selov suddenly spoke to Andropov, "Comrade Andropov, maybe this is the turning point of the Cold War. We operate well. When the war is over, it will be time for us to turn defense into offense."

Turning to defense to offense? When Andropov heard this word, who was already going to take a car home, his eyes became sharp in an instant. For him who had witnessed the Hungarian incident with his own eyes, the meaning of this word was extraordinary. He saw Communist Party members and security cadres hanging on telephone poles in the Hungarian incident with his own eyes. In the end, Serov planned the U.S. Embassy explosion in Hungary diverted his attention and gradually controlled the situation.

The Beibu Gulf incident was already in the United States at this time, and it was on the pages of all newspapers. It was well-known to all Americans almost in an instant. All newspapers were filled with voices of condemnation and lessons. If you only read the newspaper, ordinary Americans might think that the war had broken out.

The car slowly stopped on Capitol Hill. Linden Johnson got out of the car with a serious face, looked deeply at the Capitol Building in front of him, took a deep breath and stepped in. At this time, the Capitol Building had already been hyped up. However, this quarrel was not a bipartisan quarrel like domestic policy, but a quarrel in a general direction. The reason for the quarrel was the Beibu Gulf incident.

"The Soviet Union and China-backed North Vietnam showed obvious aggression. This time the attack on our destroyer is the most obvious evidence. We in the United States will definitely not tolerate this life."

"Yes, North Vietnam must be taught a lesson to prevent the spread of the ** movement in Southeast Asia. The obvious aggressiveness of the Soviet Union and China is a huge threat to the United States, and they must be stopped by military forces."

Whether it is the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, senior senators or rising stars, they are all indignant, believing that the Beibu Gulf incident is a serious provocation to the United States. In response, the United States must fight back against the Soviet Union and China with the strongest attitude.

At this moment, Lyndon Johnson walked in and stopped the quarrel between the Senate and the House of Representatives. Lyndon Johnson looked serious and straight, walked to the podium and said, "I believe that the parliamentarians already know that the torpedo boats in North Vietnam attacked our destroyers on the high seas. Fortunately, our naval soldiers loyally defended the honor of the US Navy, but this matter is far from over. We must fight back."

After listening to the agreement for a while, yes, Linden Johnson calmed the members of Congress and continued, "The Soviet Union used the resources of China to place the major islands of East Asia and eventually the major coastal islands of Japan and the Western Pacific under its control. Due to its strategic geographical location, rich natural resources and its large population, Southeast Asian countries are of great value to the free world. After controlling China and Southeast Asia, Japan will be placed in a very fragile position and seriously affect the entire security status of the United States in the Pacific. The fall of the major countries will cause the chain of coastal islands controlled by the United States to change from bases to frontiers, and Australia may become the frontline. The direct threat we face comes from China's military conquest and internal subversion."

"So!" Linden Johnson glanced at all the members of Congress with a heavy gaze and shouted, "We must stop China from moving south and eliminate the Chinese-supported North Vietnam."
