"The easing plan for the West is carried out at the same time as the strategic offensive in other directions. There are indeed some contradictions in this situation. How can Western European countries believe in our sincerity?" Kosykin, chairman of the Council of Ministers, naturally supported the easing plan. He needed to adjust the Soviet economy and correct some of Khrushchev's mistakes. Like Brezhnev, Kosykin already had a complete plan when he was the deputy to the government.

Because he had just come to power, Kosigin has not yet made a plan for this reform, but his two deputy Mazulov and Polyyansky are in full swing to prepare. This reform plan will make certain adjustments to the Soviet economy.

"In fact, this situation happened, the first thing that came to mind in the Western world was that our leadership had different voices. Comrade Brezhnev had always been known for being moderate, Comrade Kosykin was the general planner of the government. The first secretary and the chairman of the Council of Ministers were obviously more suitable to lead the ease of arguments, while Comrade Second Secretary was an example of young state cadres, and obviously should not appear in a tough image." Selov did not care about the eyes of others, and he evaluated the members of the Central Presidium on his own, and his words were quite bold.

"We are united under the great * banner, of course, Yuri, what do you want to say." Suslov glanced at Xie Lieping next to him and asked slowly, "Why do different voices appear."

"I want to create some illusion for the Western world, that is, there is a person who is very hostile to the Western world and very disagree with the country's easing policy. This person, the comrades here, are not suitable. As the first secretary, the second secretary and the chairman of the Council of Ministers, they should participate in the easing policy. Then this person should be me, the political commissar of the General National Security and the chairman of the National Security Committee. I am most suitable for this role. While the comrades promote the easing policy, they appear with another face. This face is dissatisfied with the easing policy and the enemy of the Western world." Selov said as if he was telling irrelevant things, "In this way, the Western world will think that we are not united, and we will respond more seriously to the easing remarks of the First Secretary."

If we talk about whoever has the most reputation in the West is the most famous in the Soviet Union, it is undoubtedly the Political Commissar of the General National Security and the Chairman of the National Security Committee. After various actions to stir up the nerves of Americans, Selov, who just ended his mouth with the Soviet Writers Association, has just ended his mouth with the Soviet Union's Writers Association. In general public opinion, after Khrushchev retired and in the changes in the Soviet leadership, Selov was considered to be the spokesperson for the Soviet Union's most hostile force to the Western world.

This judgment is wrong. No member of the current Central Presidium is ready to live in peace with the West. Easing policies are just a temporary measure. When Western European countries lose their value, the Soviet leadership will restore their true colors. At that time, Western Europe will find that all these Soviet leaderships are hawks.

"However, this will have a certain impact on Yula's reputation. We are still discussing and studying to see if we can discuss a more gentle solution." Brezhnev solicited other people's opinions very gently.

He was very willing to do it, why did he always speak this tone? When Selov heard this standard Brezhnev-style negotiation tone, he felt a little overwhelmed. It was time to show the moral integrity of the * clerk. He cleaned his throat and said, "As the chairman of the KGB, I am actually the most suitable candidate. Besides, an anti-counterfeiting worker originally did this. Do I believe it if I say I love peace?"

Indeed, erecting a target to attack the West is actually more helpful in promoting easing policies. This will also create an illusion for Western Europe. If we do not respond to the goodwill of the Soviet Union, the leadership willing to live in peace with Western countries will feel pressure from governing. As long as we see Selov appear, these countries will feel insecurity. Thus, we will respond to Brezhnev's goodwill.

There was no sound coming, and Selov knew that this meant to be accustomed. He didn't care about the issue of fame. His reputation had long been shattered, and he could not be washed away no matter what he did. Only the enemy could whitewash himself. As long as the final winner was the Soviet Union, how Western countries would lick it clean in the future. They also had to kneel down and lick it.

"Comrade Zinev is responsible for Africa's strategy, Comrade Zinv is responsible for the revolutionary support of Southeast Asia. The Middle East is led by me and the Central Secretary Andropov. Remember, the importance of the three strategic directions is consistent." Selov stood up from his position, picked up the teaching stick and stood in front of a giant world map, and said coldly, "Southeast Asia has huge human resources, Africa has rich minerals. As for the comrades in the Middle East, they all know it is oil. Each direction is extremely important to our great motherland, whether it is human, mineral or oil. As an anti-counterfeiting worker, each of us understands the difference between the enemy and me. As an intelligence supervisor, we also need to understand the profound changes that are taking place in the world. Finally, as a soldier, we should not care about our gains and losses, and use all our strength to achieve the country's strategic goals."

"The Middle East is closest to our Soviet Union, so it is easiest to get support from our country. And because of distance, the First Vice Chairman General Bobkov and the First Vice Chairman General Chebrikov will assist us, while the other two directions are solely responsible for Comrades Zinev and Tsvigon. Comrade Molkin of the First General Administration is responsible for increasing strength to the strategic offensive direction..." Selov put down his teaching stick and said gently, "Comrade Zinev, Comrade Zinev, you have been very busy recently. This time, you will be responsible for a strategic direction. If you have any difficulties, you can raise it now."

How could there be difficulties? How could cadres of their level oppose the matter of increasing their authority?

"Then, Comrade Zinev and Comrade Zinv will formulate a strategic plan for Africa and a strategic plan for Southeast Asia respectively. I will communicate with Comrade Andropov recently, and after the plan is completed, I will send it over." Selov simply announced the end of the meeting. As long as these two people don't cause trouble for themselves, they can do whatever they want.

In fact, if we take action in the Middle East, the current main opponent of the Soviet Union is not the United States for the time being, but another old imperialist Britain. After World War II, the United States gradually entered the Gulf Gulf region economically and politically, and replaced Britain in major countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, becoming the dominant force in the region. At the same time, the United States also restricted the large-scale entry of the Soviet Union into the Gulf region. The Soviet Union only gained a foothold in Iraq, one of the eight Gulf countries. Its power and influence are far from being comparable to the United States in the region. But from a military level, or rather, in terms of security and defense in the Gulf region, it has played a major role not only in the United States, but also in the Soviet Union, but the United Kingdom.

Whether it was Britain or France, these two colonial empires were enemies of the Soviet Union and the United States. Therefore, after World War II, the two countries tacitly joined forces to force the colonies of the two countries to be independent. France's strategy was to save as many places as possible, and even if it retreated, it would maintain France's influence. When retreating, it would demolish all modern facilities in the colonies and transport them back to the country. Britain evacuated relatively cleanly in most places, but it was also burying landmines along the way, hoping to make a comeback one day. Like the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain, of course, can recognize the important value of the Persian Gulf, so the military force in the Persian Gulf region was the last to evacuate.

The British military power is still the primary factor in maintaining security in the region, and the United States' military power only serves as a support and auxiliary role. This is because of the following factors. Up to now, the Gulf region is not ranked high in the strategic considerations of the United States. Moreover, the United States is trapped in the Vietnam War and is unable to take into account the Gulf region, so it is more willing to let its allies take the responsibility of defending the region and have no intention of replacing it immediately. The only country with strength and potential threat to the Gulf region was the Soviet Union. As an oil exporter, the Soviet Union was not very interested in the oil in the region at that time.

"As long as the political support of the United States is concentrated in Saudi Arabia and Iran, Saudi Arabia is the main target of economic support for the United States, while Iran and Americans are more inclined to support the Pahlavi dynasty as policemen in the Middle East. Under favorable objective conditions, I think this should be done. The United States mainly relies on the two largest countries in the Middle East, and the key point of breaking the situation lies in Iraq." Selov found Andropov, and the two talked about this issue during a walk.

The United States has not officially implemented the double-pillar strategy, but as long as Vietnam has gained time to breathe, it will definitely be implemented. Selov will first implement the Soviet strategy before the United States, and ask Andropov to come out to discuss this matter.

"Trilateral strategy? Egypt, Syria and Iraq?" Andropov showed a look of interest after hearing this.

"When necessary, it can also become South Yemen, Iraq and Egypt, or South Yemen, Syria and Iraq?" Selov stopped and emphasized, "At present, Iraq is not within our influence. As for the further double-triangle strategy in the future, it can only be a reverie."
