Chapter 786 Invite Amin
"Comrade Gromiko, I'll leave the relevant preparations to you." Brezhnev nodded. Selov completely gave up his entanglement on the Vietnam issue. In fact, it was really unrealistic to help Vietnam stand out. How should we borrow this matter now and transform it into a favorable situation for the Soviet Union, so instead of entangling in this war, it is better to establish an Asian security system that the Soviet Union has always wanted to establish but has never organized.
If the previous opportunity was not very ripe, then after several years of development, the situation in the whole world has changed again. The whole world can feel the increasingly obvious strategic advantages of the Soviet Union. Even if the United States has escaped the trauma of the Vietnam War, it is impossible to fully recover its strength in a short period of time.
Who said it was impossible? Selov, who slowly left the Kremlin with a briefcase, smiled casually. As long as the United States goes out and concentrates on being a vampire, it will soon show its huge strength. If the Soviet Union did not see such abnormal strength, it would definitely be scared.
"Whether it's shearing or sucking blood, I see how many times you can come. You can't slaughter all the lambs." Back in his car, Selov took off the glasses directly, which affected his vision. Only when the Kremlin was holding a lot of documents would he pretend to be dizzy. Usually, I look better than anyone else in my body, but unfortunately no one believes it. This is really a sad story.
In the evening, Selov and Ustinov arrived on time at Andropov's home. In fact, there should be one person here, Zhang Gromiko, the Soviet Foreign Ministry. However, he had just received the task of Brezhnev, and the foreign ministers should be busy recently, so there are only three of them today. Andropov is the secretary of the Central Committee and the minister of the Central Liaison Department. When Brezhnev replaced Selmichasne several years ago, Andropov served as the chairman of the Central Supervision Commission.
After Marshal Grechko's death, Ustinov took over as Minister of Defense and became the leader of the most powerful army on earth. Because Ustinov was a military engineer, the investment of military-industry enterprises has once again expanded. The absolute ground advantage of Warsaw Pact in the face of NATO was established by Ustinov.
After the MiG-29 and Su-27 were in service, the Warsaw Pact Air Force, which was originally larger than the NATO Air Force in quantity, once again leveled the quality comparison between the two sides. It can be said that it established a relative air advantage, that is, the quality is no less than that of the opponent, but other models of auxiliary fighters have more.
However, the MiG-29 fighter was destined to be a fighter prepared for the Warsaw Pact's huge ground cluster. The mission is to quickly form combat effectiveness and cooperate with ground troops to fight together. Therefore, this fighter was tailor-made for Warsaw Pact. Only whoever uses it can exert the maximum combat effectiveness. If other countries buy it, they will basically be the one who buys it. Because ordinary countries cannot organize such a huge cluster like the Soviet Union and play the Iron Curtain in the air.
Finally, there is Selov, the General Political Commissar of the National Security Council, the Chairman of the National Security Council, the National Defense Committee, the member of the Central Presidium, and the master of the most powerful intelligence department in the world.
The reason why the three people came together is also very simple, for their own interests. The Supreme Soviet Chairman Sherepin has been dismissed, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosykin has been undermined, and the Dnepro gang has already gained an absolute advantage, Kirilenko, Chernenko, Serbitsky, Kunayev, and Jihonov, who Brezhnev uses to control the government departments. At the current speed, Jihonov should soon be a member of the Central Presidium.
The unprecedented strength of the Dnepro gang made Andropov, Ustinov and Grishin all kicked in their hearts. The other party was one and all obeyed Brezhnev, the great leader who was the General Secretary and the Supreme Soviet Chairman. Therefore, Andropov and Ustinov won the only remaining Communist Youth League boss after Xie Lieping stepped down.
Thinking of all Serepin's resignation, Andropov and Ustinov sighed. Serepin did not leave in a very humiliating manner, nor was it that he was still dismissed by Brezhnev in a dying struggle. It was because Semichasne was dismissed, and the conflict between Serepin and Brezhnev had been made public.
Brezhnev began to attack Serezhnev's authority. Finally, Serezhnev quarreled with Brezhnev at a meeting and offered to remove himself. Serezhnev left the highest decision-making circle because he could not bear Brezhnev's suppression and left voluntarily. When everyone thought about this, they sighed.
Shelov did not expect that Shelopin was still as fierce as in history. When he saw that he could not resist the pressure of Brezhnev, he left with his hands. Of course, this was something that Brezhnev was very willing to see, so he served as the Supreme Soviet Chairman.
Andropov, Ustinov and Selov came together, not to decide the victory and defeat with the Dnipro gang. The three of them did not do this since the beginning. The purpose of the three of them was to keep their respective positions now. They would not be replaced by others by Brezhnev, and they would not have greater ambitions, at least not now.
There is no Communist Youth League or Kosykin's group now. There are only two groups of people in the Central Presidium, the Dnepro gang and the powerful factions of various departments that are not the Dnepro gang. The few powerful factions are Selov, who is directly under the three major KGBs, Ustinov, Minister of Defense, Gromiko of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Andropov, and Grishen, Romanov and others who have no obvious position.
If you just protect yourself, it would be fine. Three years ago, the year when Khrushchev passed away, Brezhnev was seriously ill again, and his body became more fragile after being discharged from the hospital. Even the United States saw this. In 1976, Brezhnev appeared in "Time" and was different from the previous handsome and strong, and challenged the United States, and became an old man.
After he was seriously ill, the doctor banned him from smoking. In order to relieve his addiction, he asked the guards around him to smoke so that he could smell it. What's more, when meeting with leaders of other countries, he asked the translator to light a cigarette, take a deep breath, and then spray it on his face. Not only that, he was unable to fall asleep because of the illness, and he became addicted to taking sleeping pills, and had to pester the doctor to think of a few more tablets.
And just like Andropov had kidney disease during the Patriotic War because of the severe weather, Brezhnev, who also participated in the Patriotic War, was injured during the Patriotic War and caused a strong concussion. Since then, he has been speechless. Perhaps to cover up this problem, he often read manuscripts. In recent years, Brezhnev's mistaken manuscripts began to appear. Because of his aging of his body, Brezhnev's old injuries began to recur.
Why did Selov know these things? It's very simple. The woman Brezhnev is in contact with is not his daughter and wife, but a female nurse who provides care at any time. The female nurse's name is Nina, and she is also a KGB person.
The most powerful one now is not Brezhnev himself, but the Dnepro gang he trained earlier. However, the reason why the Dnepro gang was in peace with the real power faction was because Kunaev and Serbisky were both local cadres, one was far away in Kazakh and the other was in Ukraine. Perhaps it was precisely in order to maintain balance that Brezhnev began to quickly promote the first vice-chairman of the Ministerial Council, and let Kirilenko, Chernenko, and Gyhonov deal with Andropov, Ustinov and Serov.
"There are many things that make us pay attention to than the things between China and Vietnam, which are more important than the rift between China and Vietnam." Selov was also the host of the Soviet Union's global attack, and the banner of the Soviet hardliners. If it weren't for him pulling the banner of the hardliners, maybe it wouldn't be the one who was suppressed last year, but himself.
Selov is not as great as Xielepin. Even if he is suppressed, he will not be able to leave by himself. Rai will still be in the Central Presidium. If Selepin had won the support of Andropov and Ustinov at that time, Brezhnev might not have succeeded, but Xielepin's character has not changed and he chose to leave by himself.
"I think the woman in Britain can speak harshly to us. Besides, can she win? Whether she can become the British Prime Minister is unknown!" Ustinov smiled coldly.
"That woman is not simple. Maybe she can really win this time, but what can she do when she comes up? To be honest, I prefer foreign leaders with obvious hostility. But in fact, I am not talking about Britain." Selov smiled. If history still had some inertia, Mrs. Thatcher would naturally win the election. He also hoped that Mrs. Thatcher would come to power and be cleaned up with Reagan.
"Who are you referring to?" Andropov asked with great interest. It seems that nothing is more important than the British election in half a year, right? Ustinov also looked at Selov with an inquiring expression.
"I'm talking about Pahlavina boy. I've received information from the Middle East Department of the First General Administration. The scale of Cui's protests is hundreds of thousands. Although Pahlavi has suppressed it, it may be hard to say next time. Also, the situation in Afghanistan is not very good. Both of them are neighboring countries, which makes me worry." Selov said with his head down, "Especially Afghanistan, that country is too important to us and must not be in chaos. I have to think of a way."
"You have a good relationship with Taraki. Can you invite him to visit Moscow? Let's ask what the truth is." Ustinov told Andropov, "I believe that the First Secretary Taraki will definitely agree."
