"Use the US reserve currency as a weapon? The KGB should give me the relevant information. Now these are not enough! Comrade Selov, our work is supported by data and facts, so don't be surprised." Kosykin, the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, took the information prepared by Selov at Khrushchev's instructions and immediately gave it to his left-handed Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers Polyansky and Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers Mazurov.

"From the existing information, the US's gold reserves are still quite fragile. Most of the world's gold reserves are no longer in the United States, and many have been transferred to other countries, namely Britain, France, Germany, and Switzerland." Mazurov, Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers, also saw the clues with the existing information, and looked at Kosigin and Polyansky and said.

Mazurov thought independently, as if he was asking his companions or as if he was asking himself, "If we face this situation, if we have discovered a little movement by other countries, how do you think we will deal with it once we are attacked."

Everyone was silent, which required putting themselves in the shoes of the enemy. Polyansky thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the dual-track gold price system is a good way to deal with it, but it requires Americans to get help from Western Europe! Once this happens, the death of the Braston Forest system is equivalent to a matter of time." The dual-price system of gold refers to the implementation of two different price systems in the official gold market and the non-public gold market.

"At the beginning, the United States will definitely not give up the Braston Forest system. Any change will take time, so the United States will persist for a few years and find another item that guarantees the value of the US dollar to bind." Serov stood up and walked aside and opened the world map behind the scenes, pointing to the national road in the Middle East, "oil"

Oil? Brezhnev and Kosigin were both stunned, and then nodded at the same time. However, what they thought was completely different. Brezhnev had his own strategy. In his opinion, there were two strategic offensive directions for the Soviet Union. The overall industrial strength of the United States and its allies was stronger than that of the Soviet Union, but in terms of the comparison of national resources, they did not have an advantage. The United States is still fine. Western European countries have nothing, but they have to import everything. Therefore, the Soviet Union must take a two-pronged approach to mineral resources and oil resources, and at the same time attack the Middle East of the world's oil depot and southern Africa, which is scarce minerals in the world.

What Kosigin considered was how to resolve the strong position of the United States in currency. The different considerations of the Second Secretary and the First Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers, one was to let the ruble replace the US dollar, and the other was to let the US dollar lose its current status. This was a completely different consideration.

"We still need more detailed information and intelligence investigations, but what is certain at present is that you want to wait for a country to take action first and then give a second heavy blow. I think your KGB intelligence strength will definitely know immediately once the gold market fluctuates or the trading volume increases." Kosigin glanced at his assistants Polyansky and Mazurov, exchanged eyes and said, "My opinion is to take action at the same time."

"Comrade Kosykin means that with the intelligence of your KGB, we will mobilize funds to attack gold together. From a political point of view, this can be confusing. The flow of funds of this scale cannot be hidden. The Americans must know that there is a shadow of the Soviet Union, but they will also find that the country that took action with the Soviet Union. In this case, there is pressure to exchange outside and internally, and it is very easy to be indecisive and cause misconduct to deal with it." Brezhnev told the story, analyzing the details of all aspects like a detachment, and he had no choice but to let Brezhnev write some Marxist-Leninist essays, but if he imagined that kind of game, it would be really difficult for him.

"The second move can avoid risks, but it can also make the enemy be prepared. Yura, remember this." Brezhnev smiled gently, looked at Kirilenko next to him very easily and said to Selov, "As the security head of our country, I will give you a task and a time point. We are not the first move, nor the second move, but the first point five."

First point five? Shelov thought about it and nodded seriously, "I understand, but I hope that the energy of the United States is involved in other places, and maybe a burst point."

"Explosion point? This is very simple. The first secretary has decided to provide large-scale assistance to Vietnam. At that time, we can support Vietnam to launch a large-scale offensive on the battlefield." Xie Lieping, chairman of the Party and the State Supervision Commission and Secretary of the Central Committee, said confidently, "When you support Indonesia to launch a tentative offensive, if you think it is not enough, you will have to work hard in other directions."

It has been a year since the US military landed in Vietnam. After this year, Khrushchev had long concluded that the Vietnam War would definitely become a quagmire similar to the Korean War, and might be even bigger. Khrushchev's failure to intervene in Vietnam was based on no reward. Now, the quagmire of the Vietnam War has become a foregone conclusion and no one will regard it as if he had not seen it.

For every ruble the Soviet Union aid, the United States would spend ten or even dozens of dollars to deal with it. This kind of buying and selling relationship can be seen by anyone who knows how to calculate it, so aid to the Vietnam War has begun at the beginning of the year.

There are only a few aid routes, and the sea route is taken by the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, North Vietnamese Haipang Port. This route has to pass through many US military bases along the way, especially after passing the Strait of Malacca, and finally entering the South China Sea, it is followed by Saigon and Hue. Moreover, there is a powerful US Navy there, which is extremely risky.

The sea route is first taken by the Siberian Railway to Vladivostok, which is the easternmost end, and then cargo ships pass through the Sea of ​​Japan, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea to Haifang Port. The problem is that the US Navy uses mines, surface ships and fighter jets to block the Haifang Port, and often bomb the ports. Once those cargo ships carrying high-value weapons such as air defense missiles, fighters, tanks and other weapons are sunk, the losses will be too great. Moreover, these cargo ships are difficult to escape the vicious hands of the US Navy and Air Force, which has an absolute advantage. Moreover, the United States has military bases in Okinawa, the Philippines and Wanwan, and every move of these cargo ships can basically be done as if it is the leader of the cargo ships must pass through the strait. By land, whether it is from Yunnan or Guangxi to enter Vietnam, Soviet aid must travel from north to south across China.

So the KGB has another task, how to prevent Soviet weapons loaded on trains from being unloaded by China during land transportation. "Lieutenant General Kibanov, this is the scope of your work of the General Administration of Transportation. The opponent is not an ordinary country. According to the Central Presidium, more than 200 million rubles of military aid will enter Vietnam this year. I don't know how much it will be in the future, but it will definitely increase. Your work pressure is very high."

"China? Don't worry, leave it to me. No intelligence organization in the world is stronger than us." Lieutenant General Kibannov, Director of the State Administration of Transportation Management, said confidently.

Selov frowned slightly and said, "You must understand that being a socialist country is actually difficult to deal with. China's domestic control is the strongest period in history. This is also the reason why I have not been carrying out large-scale intelligence work. If you want to make a breakthrough, you must wait for more than ten years. At that time, they will open their own openings to let us in. So the work you escort along the way is to ensure that our aid is not lost. In addition, don't provoke China. We are an unprecedented comprehensive intelligence organization in the world, but we must also consider the difference between home and away games."

Worldwide, no matter which intelligence organization it is against, Selov is not worthy of it. But it does not mean that the KGB can be lawless. He will not go to the United States to fight against the FBI, and will not face the front line in the UK and MI6.

A year after the US landed in Vietnam on a large scale, Indonesia finally began to free up its hands to make things difficult for the United States and signed an agreement on strengthening assistance to Vietnam's defense capabilities. In view of the bombing of the territory of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam by US aircraft, the Soviet side declared in a joint statement issued by the Soviet Union that the Soviet people would fulfill their international responsibilities to the brotherly socialist countries and, together with allies, take measures to protect the security of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and strengthen their national defense forces.

Selov needs to raise funds this year to prepare for the US dollar cooperation with France, which is the most important thing at hand. And he needs to start planning how to start a local counterattack, and where to start?

"We must also increase the tension in Southeast Asia, so that the United States can increase its investment and cannot respond to our attacks in other directions. Therefore, after the situation in Indonesia is a little calmer, we should ask President Sukarno to attack Malaysia, and at the same time, we will go south to Congo based on Sudan to try attacks in the name of protecting the cross-border nations of Congo. At the same time, the offensives in Southeast Asia and Africa must be launched, and we must do it without any concealment. At the same time, Sudan will start the second phase of the purging and clarify the internal enemies!" Serov and two first vice-chairmen Bobkov and Sakhatovsky discussed how to launch a local counterattack.

"Why don't we think of ways in the Middle East? We must go to Africa and Southeast Asia to carry out an offensive?" said Bobkov, the first vice president of the KGB. "Why don't we think of ways in Iraq?"
