Chapter 691 Proxy War
In just a few days, the North Vietnamese army attacked Saigon and completed the unification of Vietnam. The news of the bombing of the whole world has not dispersed. The news of Cambodia's conquering the capital Phnom Penh came soon afterwards. Laos began to hold a conference to exclude pro-American factions, and the Portuguese revolution, and the armed forces movement of the United Military had an advantage.
All newspapers in Warsaw Pact countries were working hard to criticize the capitalist camp. When countries were constantly questioning capitalism, they announced their construction results and their own economic growth rates in detail. Faced with the criticism of the Soviet group, Western European newspapers and the United States refuted and fought back with totalitarianism and pollution.
In the end, Judgment of Truth took action and joined the media war with facts over eloquence. It accused Western European and American media of losing justice. When the country's economic crisis broke out, it was unreasonable to blame the Soviet allies even more.
"The U.S. government has not made domestic economic policies a key area of governance. Inflation is a problem, but it is not the most worrying issue, nor is it a problem that can be dealt with by sacrificing other goals, especially high employment. This is what US President Ford thinks about the economic crisis. It is hard to believe that this is what a president of a country said. Inflation in the United States began to intensify last spring. Whether it is issuing orders to freeze daily necessities prices or implementing slightly easing control measures, inflation has shown no signs of a decrease. In this case, the U.S. government's powerlessness in the face of the economic crisis has been exposed to the world."
"As of now, the degree of economic failure and unemployment in the United States have reached the highest level after the Great Depression. Judging from the current trend, it seems that it has not reached the bottom. A large number of companies went bankrupt and the stock market plummeted. More than 120,000 companies with capital exceeding one million US dollars in two years, and the bankruptcy of Franklin Bank, which has assets of 5 billion US dollars, became the largest bank collapse event in US history, with a total decline of stock prices reaching 500 billion US dollars. The unemployment rate in the United States has approached nine percent, and the price index rose during the crisis. The UK was 40 percent, and Japan was 35 percent. The international trade income of developed capitalist countries exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and the balance of payments deficit was 40 billion US dollars."
"In this case, we hope that European and American capitalist powers can see their shortcomings, rather than criticize the Soviet Union. Your behavior is suspected of diverting your attention." Pravda finally used the long line of photos in front of the Soviet embassy as a picture of the article, like a silent slap on the face of the capitalist camp.
High prices, high inflation, high unemployment, economic recession, industrial output value dropped sharply, resulting in a large number of unemployment, of which steel fell by 14%, cars fell by 20%, corporate bankruptcy, stock market fell by 50%, Britain exceeded the level of the crisis in the 1930s; fixed capital investment decreased, housing construction investment fell even worse; unemployment increased sharply, prices continued to rise. Consumer price index rose by 10%, the United Kingdom
As high as 40%. Due to the intensification of stagflation, the collapse of the US dollar-centered capitalist monetary system, and the blow to developed countries in the Middle East, Japan's wholesale prices rose by 30%, and consumer prices rose by 25%. In order to curb high prices, the Japanese government adopted a financial policy of tightening credit, resulting in a large amount of corporate products and a sharp decline in industrial output. Japan's industrial output value fell by 20%, and 1.3 million people lost their jobs.
The Soviet camp was full of confidence and pointed at European and American countries. When European and American countries faced their own high unemployment rates and were pointed out by the other party to divert the conflict, they seemed very guilty. Of course, they would never admit defeat, but ended the debate quietly, as if they had not heard it.
People in many countries listen to the voice of the Soviet Union when they are fine and listen to the remarks of Eastern European countries. At the same time, compare the remarks in it and compare their own countries. Of course, this does not have any effect, but it will plant a seed in the hearts of these people. It will take root and sprout at the right time.
For the Soviet Union, this was a great chaos in the world, and this did not delay the continued expansion of the wealthy class. Selov had long contacted Taylor and Hepburn to remind the two women of the dangers. The two women perfectly avoided risks, and the wealth in their hands not only did not fall, but also continued to rise. They became the two most dazzling women on the earth.
"When I fall to the bottom, I will buy the bottom through these two women, putting a Trojan horse on Europe and the United States, and putting an end to the Cold War at the most critical moment." Selov didn't know that the West in this era was all-round and had to wait until things were out of control before he could find a way. The United States' solution was simpler and sheared the wool directly. In order to transfer the super-issuance of the US dollar, the United States has begun to invest heavily in Latin America, and at the same time to resist the spread of the Allende model in Chile. In a few years, the United States will withdraw the US dollar based on its own country's situation, causing the Latin American economic crisis.
Following the Eastern European newspapers' criticism of the West was his silence. As the number one corrupt person in the Soviet Union, he was quite rich and was expanding at any time. He had to let the KGB expand to a certain level in order to have the confidence to resist risks.
"We consider the security of immigrants. I hope your department understands that the standards must be set very strictly. We do not need ordinary immigrants. We can add a clause to those who want to live in the Soviet Union. They can live in the Soviet Union for five years. If they feel that the Soviet Union is not suitable for them, they can return home. Of course, before returning home, they must be evaluated by our domestic espionage agency, that's it." Selov put down his phone and walked to the window. The weather is good today...
Compared to Selov who was comfortable and enjoying the short summer in Moscow, KGB Vice Chairman Zinev was much more distressed. Another vice chairman, Tsvigon, had completed his mission and returned to Moscow to receive the reward. He was still working in Khartoum, a place where he had only a hundred meters of sweat. Now Zinev wants to stop the rainy season quickly and ignite the war between the Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Zinev believed that even if the war began, Sudan's victory would be great. Among the ten divisions on the southern border, four divisions participated in two Middle East wars. Even if they did not fight any tough battles, they were just going to join in the fun, and dealing with African countries should not be a problem. Besides, with Soviet advisers commanding on land, it should not be difficult to defeat the Kinto Congo.
Although the Democratic Republic of the Congo also has an army of 300,000, how could an ordinary country built according to the US Army be an opponent of the Soviet model of the army? Even the Americans themselves are not a traditional army power.
In the midst of intense preparations, Lieutenant General Igor returned to Khartoum from Guinea-Bissau and gave Zinev some important intelligence information, including the topographic map of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which forces are dissatisfied with Mobutu as an internal response, the impact of the plummeting mineral prices on the Congo economy, etc., and even an offensive roadmap.
"Very good, this will make the Sudanese army more confident in the attack. The Kyrgyzstan is too dependent on minerals. When we support Sudan, even if we fight for a protracted war, we will win." Zinev was very excited when he scratched his bald head. As for the combat plan, he thought it would be no problem. Not to mention others, he himself is one of the few security cadres from the KGB's front-line commander. He has participated in many major battles of the Patriotic War. He has fought with the Third Reich and did not think he would encounter trouble in the small Congo.
"In fact, if there is no interference, the success rate may be greater in two years. However, this will delay our strategy. It seems that it is unwilling to expect the Democratic Republic of Congo to overthrow Mobutu by itself, so it can only take action from the outside." Lieutenant General Igor smiled and the assessment of the prospects was still very good. The Democratic Congo Air Force actually opened an airline by itself, with a larger passenger volume than the national aviation industry. A country with such a dense water network has no water transportation. This shows that even the basic operation has problems, and this country is slowly rotting.
Even the KMT troops confronting Sudan on the border, Lieutenant General Igor believed that the number in it was far less than that of the KMT himself claimed. Of course, whether there was a vacant salary, it would only be known until the war between Sudan and the KMT began.
Zinev quickly sent the information sent by Igor to the General Staff of the Sudan People's Army on the Southern Front. His colleagues took advantage of the last moment of the rainy season to supplement the troops on the Southern Front.
"The Soviet Military Advisory Group means to provoke trouble during the exercise, get fired, eat up the heavy army group in the northern part of the Kinko Democratic Republic of Congo, and then drive straight into Kinshasa. Come in and out quickly, and quickly withdraw from Sudan." Seram, chairman of the Soviet Military Commission, thought for a while, and asked his comrades, "Do you think it's feasible?"
"The war should not last too long. Since the hidden dangers of Ethiopia in the southeast have been lifted, we can cooperate with the Soviet Union's global plan. Our teacher said that at that time, what is it called?" Rahim, chairman of the Council of Ministers, remembered for a long time, "The countryside surrounds the cities, our third world countries are rural areas, Europe and the United States are cities. This is the route for socialism to win."
As June begins, the rainy season in central Africa is very normal this year. As you can say, the hostility between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo has not only not been lifted, but has become increasingly fierce. This is different from previous years. The two countries have been constantly transferring their troops to the border areas. The movements between the two countries have not received any attention at the beginning, because there are too many big news in the world at present, and Southeast Asia and Portugal are very important.
