Chapter 618 The world of 1969

"You are making the hostility between the two countries intensify. Mr. Selov, you should know the consequences. You are the successor of Beria and you should know the fate of your predecessor." Hudson Warrent twisted his eyes, "A security cadre should not leave room."

Selov lit a cigarette expressionlessly, and had to admit that the US ambassador really knew the Soviet Union well. All the Soviet security cadres who were too powerful would not die well. They could indeed scare some people. They took a deep breath and replied in an tone of smoke like an ice, "Even if I am shot now, I will not miss this opportunity. Is Mr. Hudson and Warrent satisfied with this answer?"

Hudson Warrent shook his head and knew that he did not use diplomatic means to make the Soviet Union take a step back. He did not expect that he would hit a wall today and received such a response in Ruby Yangka. This is the first time he has seen a diplomatic career in so many years. Maybe he should go back and write a special evaluation report on the Soviet Central Presidium.

"Chairman, the Baghdad military is willing to negotiate with Iraq. As long as they are allowed to leave Iraq safely, they can hand over the regime to Iraq." First General Administration Director Moltin came in and reported.

"Promise them to restore Iraq to peace as soon as possible. As for the next work, we can help Iraq's comrades." After careful consideration, Selov finally made these military generals in exile with their property through compromise, because what he needed was speed. He hoped that Iraq could calm down as soon as possible, so that some concessions would inevitably be needed, so that the time saved could restore Iraq to peace as soon as possible.

This calm was based on the premise that Iraq was in power. While the two sides of Iraq started negotiations, Selov was still not idle. Compromise did not mean doing nothing. He just didn't want to waste time. First, he went to the Ministry of Defense and attended a meeting dedicated to discussing the situation in Iraq.

At this meeting of the Ministry of Defense, Selov came up with a huge military advisory group plan, and arranged the number of military advisory groups in Iraq to be set at 22,000, which is the largest foreign advisory group in the Soviet Union so far. It exceeds 18,000 in Egypt, not to mention the number in Sudan, Syria and Indonesia. It can be seen how much he attaches importance to Iraq.

"I am not just taking risks and putting our motherland in a comprehensive confrontation, but I still need to emphasize that one Iraq is not my purpose. The purpose of controlling Iraq is in the Middle East. The bottom line of the Americans in the Middle East actually lies in two countries. One is Saudi Arabia with the largest oil reserves in the world, and the other is the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran." Selov stood coldly in front of the Middle East map and said in a plain tone, "In the next few years, I think over time

Changes, as well as changes in the political environment of our opponents in the United States, can also expand the results of the war. The next target of the offensive are two small countries, Kuwait, south of Iraq, and Qatar. These two countries are small in size and have a population of less than one million. They are very easy to digest. The most important thing is that the military power can be ignored. As long as you take action suddenly, you can be occupied in almost a few days. The most important thing is that the oil reserves of these two small countries are neither lower than those of Iraq."

The marshals of the Ministry of Defense nodded in approval and obviously accepted this statement. If there is anything Brezhnev is considered to be for Selov to learn, it is the first secretary's sausage-cutting tactics. After taking control of Iraq, he looked at the surrounding countries and found two fat sheep. Kuwait and Qatar both have an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers and a population of one million, which belongs to countries that are easily destroyed.

There is a territorial dispute between Iraq and Kuwait. Iraq's land was originally four Ottoman Turkey's provinces. Later, the British formed an Iraqi colony. The four Iraqi provinces were formed. There was a county called Kuwait County. The British demarcated it and ruled it by the Kuwait chiefs themselves. Historically, the Arab region had always been a tribal system, with each tribe in charge of its own, and then the Ottoman Turkey controlled each tribe. The chiefs of the Kuwait tribes controlled the land of Kuwait. Therefore, Iraq believed that Kuwait was its own territory.

As early as the time of the Kuwait announcement, Kasem announced that Iraq would not recognize Kuwait. Because Kuwait was part of Iraq during the Ottoman Empire, Iraq wanted to extend its border to the south of Kuwait and appointed the Kuwait chief as the Kuwait county magistrate of Iraq. At the same time, Iraq began to mobilize troops to the Kuwait border to prepare for the liberation of the Arabian Peninsula. Kuwait immediately called on the support of Britain and Arab countries. Five thousand British troops, two thousand Arab troops and seven thousand Witt troops and volunteers were quickly deployed on the border.

The final solution to the crisis was the initiative of President Nasser of the United Arab Republic at that time. It may have been for the purpose of weakening Iraq and preventing two centers from appearing in Arabia. Nasser proposed a peaceful resolution of the problem. He contacted Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and these countries to form a force to replace the British army, defended on the border between Kuwait and Iraq, and preserved Kuwait's status.

During that territorial dispute, the Soviet Union and Britain supported each other on the United Nations. Finally, due to Nasser's initiative, Iraq recognized Kuwait's situation, and a crisis ended. Iraq then fell into a civil war and there was no territorial disagreement.

A few years have passed, and the United Arab Republic is divided into two countries, Egypt and Syria. Without the overwhelming national strength advantage at the time, Egypt and Syria are currently pro-Soviet countries. The surrounding Saudi Arabia is at the time of its just rise, but it does not have the influence it later, and its military strength is far from becoming the Middle East hegemon. The qualified hegemons Iran and Turkey have land-based territorial contact with the Soviet Union and dare not act rashly. Therefore, although the situation in Iraq is relatively dangerous, it can be regarded as fulfilling Selov's idea.

When the time came in 1969, Selov stood in Moscow and looked around in a daze. He could only see the situation in the world. This year's world was like this for the Soviet Union. In Southeast Asia, the Vietnam War was still in progress. The United States was already in trouble and was just gritting its teeth and insisting, not wanting its own retreat to cause the collapse of Southeast Asia. Indonesia became the revolutionary center of Southeast Asia. Sukarno was in charge in Jakarta, and like a major country, he continued to provide assistance to the surrounding countries, and assembled heavy troops to put strong pressure on Malaysia. Small-scale wars were underway at all times. Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Malaysia all had strong forces in armed struggles. They became enemies of these governments as if they were facing a great enemy.

In the Middle East, the Soviet Union won the respect of the Arab world by destroying Israel's nuclear facilities. Egypt, the Arab powerhouse, and Syria, the military strongman, were very satisfied with the support of the Soviet Union. At this time, Iraq had completed the handover with the military government, and since then Iraq has been included in the Soviet sphere of influence. As for Sudan, it has joined the Economic Union, which has formed a favorable supplement to the Soviet economic system.

The pro-Soviet faction in South Yemen has already gained the upper hand. According to history, it will drive out pro-Arab forces within one to two years and become a nail behind the Soviet Union in Saudi Arabia. As long as the Soviet Union does not have problems, there will be no historical collapse. After all, the final failure of South Yemen has a huge relationship with the Soviet map of Go.

As for the areas around the Middle East, the entire student group in Afghanistan has become the most pro-Soviet force. They accept the Soviet Union's political and historical views, read the Soviet books, and are happy about the achievements of the Soviet Union's construction. Of course, this pro-Soviet force has become the largest political party in Afghanistan's political arena.

In fact, according to history, there will be an irreconcilable conflict in Afghanistan next year. That is, on the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth, students from various universities in the capital of Afghanistan held up portraits of Lenin and demanded that Afghanistan reform. At this rally, the student group disrespects the words of Muhammad, the founder of Peace Church, angered the religious and tribal forces of Afghanistan, and eventually turned into a huge conflict. After this conflict, the socialist forces in Afghanistan began to feel disappointed and began to prepare for armed seizure of power.

As for Ethiopia next to Egypt, Emperor Haier Selasi I was a pro-American emperor. This national hero who had been in World War II finally chose to turn to the United States to stabilize his monarchy. At this time, Ethiopia's economy was not good. The domestic conflicts were much more frequent than ten years ago. But in fact, the country finally changed color and had nothing to do with the Soviet Union. Although the pro-Soviet forces have always existed, the last straw that crushed Haier Selasi I was in the interview of Western journalists during the Ethiopian famine. After being reported by Western journalists, Haier Selasi I became the root of the anger of the Ethiopian people, and eventually sent their own African allies to hell. The Ethiopian emperor died at the hands of the Virgin of Western Europe.

As the United States prepares to strategically shrink and regulate the internal injuries of the Vietnam War, more countries will adopt an attitude of being close to the Soviet Union. This is the world that the Soviet Union will face in 1969. In this case, how could the Soviet Central Presidium really ease? It is nothing more than using a relaxation strategy to stabilize Western Europe first, and fortunately, the power of the United States is backlogged in other directions. To be continued.
