Chapter 530: Local Strategic Offensive

"So what is the order of sequence?" Sakhatovsky's question refers to the sequence of attacks in Southeast Asia and Africa. Of course, he hopes to start at the same time, but this is actually impossible. The two countries of Sudan and Indonesia are not produced in the same mold, and the objective conditions are completely different, so there will definitely be a sequence of problems.

"I have my own considerations for this issue, but I still need some data to support it. In terms of national strength and importance, Indonesia should first start with the US Army's strength and nail it to Southeast Asia. In this way, I will first discuss it with the Minister of the Central Liaison Department, the Central Secretary Andropov, and Ustinov, Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers." Selov said to his two assistants, and then left Ruby Yangka to find Andropov and Ustinov.

If you want to know the degree of Soviet weapons and equipment being included in the list, no one in the Soviet Union knew better than Ustinov. If you want to use your brain to export revolution, whether it is out of respect or cooperation, you must let Andropov know about this.

Although Selov is the General Political Commissar of National Security, he cannot make a complete plan without the opinions of these two people. Otherwise, it would be like a pitfall. In 1966, due to the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviet Union did find that it was not strong enough, so it was formulating a plan to catch up with the United States, especially in the military.

Under Ustinov's appointment, the Soviet Union's various weapons had been set to produce 3,000 tanks, 4,000 armored vehicles, 400 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and 30,000 to 50,000 surface-to-air missiles. Two thousand armed helicopters, 200 military transport aircraft, ten submarines, ten main surface ships, and fifty light combat ships.

If it is not considered an intercontinental ballistic missile, so many arms are produced every year, so we can find an intuitive comparison. This is about the entire force of the mid-1960s. The specific data may be different, but it is generally the case. In other words, the weapons and equipment produced by the Soviet Union can arm a China every year.

Production of this scale is easy to arm several small countries and does not have to work overtime at all. Moreover, the Soviet Union has not exerted its full strength, and of course the United States has not used its full strength to carry out military confrontation. Selov understands this very well. In fact, if the United States and the Soviet Union produce arms according to the war system, the number will be increased several times.

The Soviet Union's advantage is that the national system is more suitable for this confrontation, and the United States itself has better conditions than the Soviet Union. Whether it is the cost of producing materials and climate, the United States spends more money lies in the labor cost of the major arms companies' original intentions to pursue interests. Therefore, similar things, American weapons are always much more expensive than those of the Soviet Union. High-priced goods such as nuclear submarines and fighters are understandable, but an assault rifle and a military jeep are also several times more expensive, which is a bit unreasonable.

"I want to expand the conflict in Southeast Asia so that the energy of the United States can be involved. Indonesia's current anti-American rhetoric is very high, and it can definitely be used from the hearts of the people. Furthermore, according to the American domino theory, once they evacuate from Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia will become our sphere of influence. In this way, I will give them evidence of the domino theory and strengthen the public opinion of the war from the United States." Selov explained his ideas to Andropov and Ustinov. He needed the support of two people, so it would be best to convince them now.

"Expanding the scale of the war in Southeast Asia will allow the United States to invest more military power and strengthen the domestic combat public opinion?" Andropov thought for a moment, "Will the United States expand the scale of the war? I think it is unlikely that at most, the troops stationed in Malaysia to prevent Indonesian infiltration, and the attack on Indonesia will not be approved."

The war has begun for more than a year. Although the American pro-war faction suppressed the anti-war voice, the anti-war voice has never disappeared. While the United States is engaged in the Vietnam War, it is unlikely that it will start a war with Indonesia. At most, it is to protect Malaysia, and even protect Malaysia will have to bear the attacks of public opinion.

"Without the United States, isn't there any Britain? Britain is the protector of Malaysia. The so-called six-nation joint defense. The United States is fighting in Vietnam. Australia has a limited population. Singapore's base ammunition can destroy it. In fact, there are only two countries that are capable of so-called joint defense. One is Malaysia, which defends its country, and the other is Britain that is constantly weakening. If the war between Indonesia and Malaysia begins, Britain will definitely not sit idly by. This can use Indonesia to weaken Britain's power and let the island return to the position it should return." Xie Luofu stretched out his finger and emphasized, "Comrades, we must understand that Indonesia's population exceeds 100 million, and more people represent a larger national tolerance, so don't look at Malaysia's per capita, but in fact, the loss of the war is Malaysia, because Indonesia's tolerance is stronger..."

Once the war begins, one of the most useless indicators is the per capita fart. No matter how rich you are, you will be proletarians if you continue to shoot down a cannon. At this time, there will be more proletarians. Indonesia has a population of over 10 million, and Malaysia has a population of more than 10 million. Malaysia is definitely the one with greater pressure when fighting, and it is not possible, including the United Kingdom.

Even in terms of economy, Indonesia is still strong. Malaysia is stronger per capita than Indonesia, and Indonesia, with a population of over 100 million, bears much higher than Malaysia. Therefore, with Malaysia, it is absolutely impossible to withstand it. If you beat yourself poor, a revolution may break out.

"Comrade Andropov, Comrade Ustinov, nearly half of Malaysia's population is Chinese, and Chinese rarely join the army. This seems that the disadvantage of Malaysia's population will increase." Selov smiled slightly at this time, "So Indonesia can easily suppress Malaysia and involve the British at the same time to achieve our goal of weakening the United States and the United Kingdom at the same time."

Is there anything more happy that the Soviet Union will be more happy than using the Vietnam War to weaken the United States, the Indonesian action to crush Malaysia, and the two opponents at the same time?

"It's great to weaken the two enemies of the United States and Britain at the same time." Ustinov nodded in agreement. Selov's words simply spoke to his heart. Although he was not a commander, he was a military engineer. However, he was more tough than any general who was a commander in defeating the United States.

The strategic forces deployed by the Soviet Union were mainly aimed at the United States, but the military forces that protect their interests in the Soviet Union were worldwide. The ideas of Serov, Andropov and Ustinov were consistent in this regard, which is also the understanding of the Soviet military. The Soviet Union believed that Western Europe must always be vigilant because its geographical location is close to the Soviet Union, and the Federal Republic of Germany is potentially aggressive, and in the two centuries of overstripping, it was the source of threats and aggression. Therefore, the Soviet Union believed that nuclear forces that could attack the entire Europe must be maintained, and that a strong conventional military force must be established to fight or stop the threats that Western Europe may launch a large-scale conventional war against the Soviet Union.

Western Europe is the most important, not that other directions are not important. The Soviet Union believes that the geographical location of the Middle East is extremely important; controlling the waterways and oil in the region is an important decisive tool for controlling Europe, Africa and most of Asia. After controlling oil in the Middle East, the Soviet Union can interrupt or threaten to interrupt oil supply to the West, thereby putting pressure on Europe, Japan and the United States. The Soviet Union's foreign policy is based on the following assumption: nuclear war can be carried out in a controlled manner: a well-prepared party can win. Therefore, nuclear war is not completely impossible to be considered as a war model. Under conditions, it is necessary to initiate a nuclear war in a sudden attack situation.

"The big fight in Southeast Asia is to conceal our main attack direction, Europe and the Middle East." Selov stood up and said, "For military aid in Southeast Asia, we are not just talking. We all understand that every time we throw a ruble inside, the United States will spend ten more dollars to deal with it. This is beneficial to us. Considering this exchange ratio, it is imperative to expand the conflict in Southeast Asia. My plan is to take action first in Indonesia, and then try to go south to Africa in Sudan six months later. Both directions are offensives, and at the same time test the American reaction."

"Continue!" Ustinov thought for a while and signaled. While signaling, Ustinov also deduced in his mind, especially the situation after Indonesia took action. To be honest, Southeast Asia is not the most important place for the Soviet Union, and in fact is not the United States, but the Soviet Union and the United States have worked for this not the most important place this time.

"The reason why the actions in Indonesia and Sudan are half a year apart is that I want to see if the United States can invest in Sudan's military strength. If not, it proves that the United States' military strength has indeed been involved in Southeast Asia. We can consider the issue of the Middle East!" Serov said while gesturing, "At that time, countries around the world will understand who is the real strong country. When the image of the Soviet Union is firmly linked to the strong country, except for the firm allies of the United States, the attitude of most small countries is predictable."

"Kositin may not agree, but he should not object. I will persuade Comrade Brezhnev." Ustinov thought for a moment and thought he could give it a try.

"Then I will persuade Xie Lieping!" Shelov patted his chest and assured. Andropov thought for a moment, "I would like to raise this possibility to the First Secretary as the Central Secretary. Comrade Brezhnev and Comrade Xie Lieping can express their approval in time."

After the three people exchanged opinions, they all agreed to this idea and persuaded them to have good relations with the Central Presidium. Khrushchev later agreed that in June, the Soviet Union and Indonesia signed a national defense security treaty, and on the basis of economic aid, they also used Soviet weapons to replace the original American equipment. At the same time, a standing army similar to the Warsaw Pact was established. President Sukarno welcomed this and stepped up the preparations for war in Indonesia.

"Actually, this is our tentative local attack. For twenty years, the Americans have been blocking us. This time, we have tentative counterattacks in Southeast Asia. After testing the reality of the United States, we have a comprehensive counterattack. This time, we are just preparing in advance in Southeast Asia." At the second party, Selov and Andropov, Ustinov said.
