Chapter 569 Spring Festival Offensive
"Li Duan, Li Deshou, Fan Xiong, Wen Jinyong!" After leaving the residence of General Wu Yuanjia, Yegrov recited several names, which were the people he received orders to focus on winning over.★Before Yegrov came to Hanoi, he met the largest security cadre of the Soviet Union, the Chairman of the KGB, the General Political Commissar of the National Security, and General Serov in Ruby Yangka. At the same time, he received a task. While presiding over the transport of Soviet arms to Hanoi, he also tried to establish contact with the cadres in Vietnam at this time.
These people are the most important people on the list given by Selov. In the orders he received, Li Dun's name was mentioned several times. After arriving in Hanoi, Ye Grov learned that Li Dun was the second-ranked figure in Vietnam. It turned out that he was the secretary of the Southern Bureau and is currently the first secretary of Vietnam. Once Ho Chi Minh passed away, Li Dun was the well-deserved leader of Vietnam. In fact, Ho Chi Minh's role is more of an international relationship. He and the Soviet Union and China have a good relationship network, but they are actually not well-founded in Vietnam.
The relevant information and the notes written by Selov were recorded in Yegrov's mind. When he came to Hanoi, the KGB Chairman personally handed him something similar to a diary, which clearly listed the work history of these people and whether it was appropriate to win over it. This made Yegrov, who had little knowledge of Vietnam himself, feel a sense of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.
Ho Chi Minh was more like a spiritual leader in Vietnam because he had been in exile for a long time and did not have many of his own people in his country. Moreover, he was assigned by the Communist International and was considered a pro-Soviet faction, but this person could not consider it because he only had a symbolic role.
Vietnam's politics is clearly divided into two factions: the Southern and Northern factions, among which Le Duan is the leader of the Southern faction, while the other Vietnamese very influential cadre Chang March is the leader of the Northern faction. Long March is a recognized theorist within the Communist Party of Vietnam, but due to the problem of land reform, there was no real power, and the Northern faction has since shown weakness.
Relatively speaking, Long March, Wu Yuanjia, Ruan Zhiqing, Huang Wenhuan and others were relatively friendly to China. Fan Wen was both the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. He was easy-going, pragmatic and capable, and had the most dealings with China. He was called "old friend of the Chinese people." But he was ordered to express his opinion for a long time, which was probably a neutral faction. Wu Yuanjia was awarded the rank of general in the year of the Vietnamese army. He was the secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party and served as the supreme leader of the Vietnamese army for a long time.
Both the main leaders of the Vietnamese army, Wu Yuanjia and Nguyen Zhiqing had different ideas on the establishment of the army, but this issue is no longer necessary to consider now. Ruan Zhiqing died of a heart attack, and Wu Yuanjia's Soviet Corps theory would be mainstream.
However, Wu Yuanjia, a soldier, is definitely not a rival to Li Dun. Vietnam's political situation will inevitably be dominated by pro-Soviet factions. The key point is still Li Dun. Your task is to establish friendly relations with Li Dun.
"The countries in Southeast Asia are too close to China, and the Soviet Union does not threaten them. They will be close to the Soviet Union in their hearts. Even if some countries say that we are social imperialism, as long as we put our attitude and devote ourselves, they will eventually follow us! Li Duan is a man with strong political ability. Under the general trend, no one in Vietnam is his opponent, so this person is the most important!" Yegrove muttered this statement, feeling that his task did not seem to be so difficult.
In Selov's view, Le Duan is the Vietnamese version of Brezhnev. This is not only not an exaggeration, but also reserved. In fact, Le Duan has more support than Brezhnev. Brezhnev has also been restrained by different groups. Le Duan's opponent has long disappeared. On the contrary, the supporters around him occupy the main positions, which is only relatively weak in the military.
Yegrove didn't make any effort, and met Li Duan in Hanoi. The other party was also very friendly. This was a mutually beneficial thing. Li Duan was a local cadre in Vietnam, but he knew that Vietnam would unify the motherland, preferably with the support of China and the Soviet Union at the same time. But if one of them had to be chosen, he would definitely choose the Soviet Union.
After all, Vietnam is a country influenced by China. It is only a matter of minutes for big countries to sacrifice the interests of small countries. If Vietnam cannot be one side to China, it must have a backer, otherwise national security will be unbalanced. In the Eastern strategy theory, far-reaching and near attacking is an important principle. What makes Li Duan the most dissatisfied was the Geneva Conference, which gave him a feeling that Vietnam was betrayed. At that time, once North Vietnam took the opportunity to liberate South Vietnam, there would be no war with the United States now.
"Our General Political Commissar told me that the victory of the Southeast Asian revolution is inseparable from the joint efforts of Vietnam and Indonesia. In the process of driving the United States out of Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union appreciated Vietnam's sacrifice in the process very much." This made Li Duan admire very much. Without the support of the Soviet Union, the Chinese revolution could not succeed. Without the success of China and the support of the Soviet Union, the Vietnamese Communist Party's revolution could not succeed. Without the success of the Vietnamese Communist Party, the revolution in Laos in Cambodia would not succeed. Without the success and support of Vietnam and Indonesia, the revolution in Southeast Asia would not succeed. This is the consensus of the top leaders of the Vietnamese Communist Party, and it is also the strategy of the brotherly parties of Cambodia and Laos.
In fact, the domino theory mentioned by President Kennedy of the United States, once they cannot stop Vietnam's success, they will eventually be pushed down one by one in Southeast Asia, and these countries will eventually become socialist countries.
After Stalin, it became a consensus among the Soviet Communist Party that the Soviet Union did not allow bloody purge to resolve internal conflicts. This was in line with Vietnam's political atmosphere, and Li Duan also appreciated this point very much. Later, Li Duan was in power and did not attack the Long March and others who were close to China.
"Comrade Li Duan, before I came, the General Political Commissar asked me to ask someone, don't you know this person?" Yegrov suddenly remembered that Selov mentioned another person at that time, and his expression was very strange at that time, "This person is called, let me see, it's called Pol Pot, it seems to be a Cambodian!"
"I know him, is there anything wrong?" Li Duan was stunned for a moment. Of course, he knew that the General Secretary of Cambodia was not very friendly to Vietnam and always complained that Vietnam had the habit of Laozi Party.
"Nothing, I'm just asking casually!" Yegrov smiled far-fetchedly. Looking back, Selov's expression was frightening. It was like the legendary department within the KGB.
"At the right time, we invite him to visit and find an opportunity to kill him!" In Ruby Yangka, Mendlev received an unusual order to suppress his hat. Mendlev felt that the cold wind in Moscow this year came a little earlier...
After all, Yegrov was not a soldier. Even if he arranged for him to be the general counsel of Vietnam, the Ministry of National Defense would not agree. After a walk around, he was not considering the issue of a country in Vietnam, but the attack of the entire Southeast Asia. It can be seen that Vietnam's general counsel of military may be upgraded in the future, which is a great opportunity for gilding.
"I am the National Defense Commissioner Selov. I will pick up the Western cluster Lieutenant General Bagramiyang!" Selov picked up the phone and waited for a while to hear the voice of his cheap brother. The two chatted for a long time.
The Soviet Union had military power in Vietnam and belonged to the surface-to-air missile force of the National Air Defense Force, stationed around Hanoi. The previous commander of the National Air Defense Force and the current Chief of General Staff Marshal Biliusov was one of the few military leaders who appreciated young groups such as Serepin. In fact, it cannot be said that it was a very small number. Among the Soviet military, Marshal Biliusov was only Marshal Biliusov himself favored Serepin. Marshal Biliusov should have died unexpectedly during his visit to Yugoslavia. However, many details are different, and this accident is the easiest to change.
Selov did not change the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union, but some accidents were easily affected. Landau did not encounter a car accident and was still a benchmark in the Soviet physics community. Marshal Bilizov did not encounter an air crash, Marshal Negelin was not killed, and he was still active in the Soviet military today.
Although the Hanoi government believes that the Americans will eventually become as tired of war as the French colonists before, the longer the delay will be, the stronger the Saigon government will become. If the US military is involved in Vietnam lasts for another year and a half, the power of the Vietnamese National Liberation Front will be severely damaged. Moreover, with the continuous development of the South Vietnamese army, even without the intervention of the United States, North Vietnam will not be its opponent.
"Chairman Ho Chi Minh, General Secretary Le Duan, we should use the aid of the Soviet Union to launch a head-on battle, so that the Americans will lose confidence and stop the war!" Wu Yuanjia stated his combat plan righteously at the Vietnam Central Conference. "The United States will hold a general election soon, and through a battle victory, the American people will understand that for a long time, domestic propaganda in the United States has been just an illusion. Not only have we not failed, we are growing stronger every day..."
"The US military is firmly guarding the cities and military cities. Our southern comrades are everywhere on the vast Vietnamese land. We send the accumulated military weapons to the south through the secret passages between Laos and Cambodia, and launch a comprehensive battle when the time is right. Such a comprehensive attack will inevitably be negligent." Wu Yuanjia expressed his thoughts.
Attack the 6th U.S. Navy team is located at the heavy firepower point of Xishan. At the same time, the regular North Vietnamese army and the South Vietnam National Liberation Front plan to jointly attack all major cities and provincial capitals of Nanyue. If the United States decides to defend Xishan base and the battle starts in other parts of South Vietnam at this time, the Americans will find that their front line is too long. If the United States and South Vietnamese troops are forced to fight on the whole line at the same time, they will suffer big and small failures, and will eventually lead to their disaster in Xishan.
"Xishan? Wu Yuanjia will be bleeding from his head. Except for our earth, there is no force that can attack the strongholds stationed by the Americans heading head. He also thinks he is facing the French army? China is right to siege Xishan, but we should not interfere in their own actions. Provide more weapons and let them kill more Americans." At the meeting of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, Selov commented coldly, "They are not afraid of death, what are we afraid of?" (To be continued.)8
