Chapter 752 The Group of Seven

The war did not start to shake the world and scared the whole world. At the beginning, even Thailand itself did not discover it at the first time. In this era, Southeast Asian countries, which were full of guerrillas, were already in a bloody storm. The major European and American countries were saving themselves in the midst of the economic crisis and did not pay attention to the movements in Southeast Asia at the first time. Guerrilla warfare was too easy to discover, and the attack was the country that was best at fighting guerrilla warfare in the 1970s.

The most obvious rapid expansion of the Soviet Union was in the Near East and Middle East. The Near East attacked Turkey by itself, and the Middle East supported Egypt, Syria and Iraq, the traditional military powers in the Middle East. The momentum it created far exceeded that of other places. Even small countries like Portugal have gained far more attention than Thailand, not to mention Allende, which is in conflict with Cuba. The United States has too many regions to pay attention to. From the perspective of value, Thailand in Southeast Asia is really not the most urgent issue. Anyway, there have always been Communists in Thailand, which is not new.

It is not just a talk about Europe and Asia. This is the unanimous thinking of major powers over the past two hundred years. The strategic deployment of many years has been revolving around this thinking. Only when the Warsaw Pact and NATO gathered troops to start confrontation. So for the United States, on the one hand, it is how to delay the Soviet attack when it is kidney deficiency, and on the other hand, it is to regulate its internal injuries as soon as possible. Otherwise, at the current speed, the Soviet Union will sooner or later try to think about Europe.

As for other countries, in this battle that is all over the world, the United States has its own guarantee in mind which countries are worth saving and which countries are just stumbling blocks to delay the Soviet attack. Turkey is very important, but the Soviet Union quickly killed Turkey. It can be said that the whole process is not scientific at all. Without troops mobilization, it is the local army that takes action and does not provide for transportation, just as all war preparations are completed overnight.

Now the Pentagon of the United States has confirmed that if you want to prepare everything without being discovered, it must take ten years of preparation. Then this news was quickly handed over to Iran. As a neighbor, Iran saw with his own eyes how Turkey was dismembered, and the entire country's combat readiness was unprecedentedly serious.

Compared with jungle guerrilla warfare in Southeast Asia, many things in the world are extremely important. For Western Europe, how to save itself is the most important thing at the moment. If the situation continues to deteriorate and the unemployment rate increases, it will be about to revolution. For them, relaxing restrictions on exports to the Soviet Union is just the effect of a hemostatic agent. Getting rid of the economic crisis depends on your own adjustment.

"I hope other countries understand that if we do not unite closely, we will not be able to escape the control of our control, and Europe can only unite and save ourselves. Either be a puppet of the Americans forever, or be a puppet of the Soviets after the revolution. If we still fight alone, Europe will sink forever."

The Soviet Union suddenly took action against Turkey, cutting off the land ties between Western Europe and Asia, and also made Western European countries begin to consider how to face the Soviet issue. Especially the Soviet Union has strong local resources and is also transfusion of blood to Eastern European countries. If this trend lasts for decades, the strength of both sides will definitely reverse in Europe, not a military reversal. The military advantage itself is on the Soviet side, but a dual advantage of economy and military. In this case, Western Europe has no capital to maintain balance.

After the Turkish War, the voice of European union began to appear in French newspapers. It was not the current cooperation, but the uniting of closer cooperation, adjusting their industries to get out of the economic crisis. The blacksmith must be strong by themselves. All countries understand this truth. If Western European countries remain the same, they will have no chance of winning, whether facing the United States or the Soviet Union.

After the war, the United States injected a lot of capital into Western Europe and Japan in the form of loans to start their economies. The cornerstone of this international monetary system is that the US dollar implements a fixed price ratio of 35 US dollars to one ounce of gold. However, in the long run, the United States has no power to continue to provide capital for the entire world economy. The United States' foreign payment deficit has risen, and the situation has become increasingly serious with the Vietnam War, and the United States' gold reserves have continued to decrease. In the absence of a fixed price ratio of 20s, President Nixon declared that the US dollar was separated from the gold standard. With the disintegration of the Bretton Woods system, inflation has spiraled up, and now the worst world economic recession has occurred since the 1930s, and in one country after another, class struggle has flourished. This is the dilemma facing Europe now. Who knows whether the Soviet Union will see a great situation and adopt the Fourth International's proposition to start the world revolution?

The Soviet Rubiy Yangka, the KGB headquarters, Moscow in April and May is also pleasant in the climate. For the whole Soviet Union, after General Secretary Brezhnev cared about housing issues, the Soviet Union ushered in another construction boom after the Khrushchev Building. All cities can see Gundam’s tower cranes under intense construction, and construction workers with safety helmets are sweating profusely.

As the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow has always been under a heavy population pressure. Even if the Soviet Union had a strict household registration system and did not have the conditions for people to migrate casually, it still could not stop Moscow's population from further expansion. The capital is the facade of a country, and even if other places are a little behind, no one would hope that the capital would be like this.

Grishin, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, first responded to General Secretary Brezhnev's call to solve the housing problem and began to plan the urban construction in Moscow. One by one, one plan broke ground. From the side of any main road, you can see a huge tower crane working, and the whole city is like this.

Some buildings that have completed the main building have already had the shadow of later Chinese communities. It should be said that hardware should be stronger than ordinary Chinese communities, and at least they will not make a fuss on the common area. It is estimated that if Xie Luof does not educate municipal cadres everywhere, no one would think of making fuss on the common area, at least not in a short period of time.

These projects are actually similar to what he did in the KGB at the beginning, but this time Brezhnev personally issued the order, and the scale was much larger than the scale he had to mess with in his department. Some functional cities in important mining areas and forestry towns can cover the entire population almost at one time.

In this five-year plan, the housing construction will cover 40 million people, which is far less efficient than China in later generations. Apart from the bungalows who have been disrepaired in the past, functional urban residents, military families and cadres who have moved into the new houses, they actually did not cover the residents living in the Khrushchev building. In this sense, the residents who lived in the Khrushchev building can no longer benefit from Brezhnev's policies. There is no way, and fate is so wonderful.

The Soviet Union has no way to get it out for all the Soviets at one time. Lenin, who is on the upstairs and downstairs, depicts communist life. This expenditure is too huge. Once implemented, it will be a budget black hole that will be related to military and welfare expenses.

However, from the investigation, the KGB has not found any people who are dissatisfied with this policy within the coverage area, at least Moscow does not. The country has borne most of the costs. If you change a good house, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with?

"Chairman, three points of intelligence, two parts are Europe and Southeast Asia, and they are both valuable news." Shervanov, director of the General Affairs Office, pushed open the door and walked over and put the information directly on the table.

"Yeah!" Shelov did not stop writing and finished writing the last few sentences. He began to read the information directly. After Vietnam joined the guerrilla warfare in Southeast Asia, it was somewhat like a mobile warfare. It seemed that the head-on position war was coming soon. Thailand's big cities were temporarily still controlled by the government army, but the rural areas were obviously controlled by the Communist Party of Thailand, which was very similar to South Vietnam a few years ago. The more similar thing is that Thailand's urban population is also at a disadvantage. Speaking of which, except for Europe and the United States, every few countries have the majority of urban population.

"The French are trying to hold meetings in Paris, including the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany and themselves to jointly study ways to resist the economic crisis?" A word flashed through Selov's mind, the G7. In order to jointly resolve the world economic and monetary crisis, coordinate economic policies, and revitalize the Western economy, the G7 came into being.

This group is famous in later generations. Japan's Square Agreement was actually completed by the G7 collective pressure. Of course, the Square Agreement is the most beneficial to the United States. It is not ruled out that the United States whitewas itself in the name of the collective. Isn't the United States always doing such a thing?

However, what I didn't expect was that the country that the G7 advocated at the beginning was French. The proud French might have been the intention of leaving the United States alone at the beginning, but they still couldn't solve the problem by themselves after leaving the United States and Western Europe, so they brought the Americans in. However, compared with the economic scale of France and the United States, once the United States comes in, it will definitely be the mainstay, and it doesn't take a look at the size of the two sides.

"Stop cannot be stopped, I am not Yuri..." Selov shook his head slightly. Is the G7 effective? Of course, at least this economic crisis, the G7 soon worked together, and the United States has re-divided the economic interests of various countries. Since the establishment of the G7, other capitalist countries are no longer completely puppets of the United States, except for Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany.
