Chapter 838 The Great Powers of Chicken Thieves
"When will we set off?" Sherov looked at the time on his wrist and asked, "Just buy me a month, the resistance of the Pakistani regular army will disappear, and guerrilla warfare will cause trouble for the Indians themselves..."
"I will go to China tomorrow. After all, Alexander and Heg are all there, and I must go there too. Gromiko organized an Asian Security System Conference in Jakarta. Now I can only replace the responsibility of the Foreign Minister." Andropov also felt the heavy responsibility and sighed, "We are never on the same pace as China, what can you do?"
"I have no choice, but to tell the truth. Comrade Ustinov is preparing for the army stationed in Mongolia. As long as China is out of trouble, the preparations for the army stationed in Mongolia can be terminated. If not, some of the troops withdrawn from the West's August 1st year may be stationed in Mongolia." Selov took off his gloves and put them in his pocket. "It's not ten years ago. Cohesion is completely incomparable. I hope China will make a correct judgment. Because the blank checks issued by the United States are not good against traditional allies. Give me a few more years to deal with Yugoslavia, and we can vacant hundreds of thousands of military forces."
"The northeast of India is a powder keg. There are nearly 200 million Indians in that small area. If I remember correctly, there was a rumor that the Chinese said that once the Soviet Union attacked China, they would submerge Siberia with a huge population. We have never been prepared to attack China. Not to mention this, China occupied the northeast of India and now has only a population of tens of millions, and there are 200 million people in India on the other side of the border line. If China really has the courage to print, the submerged one is definitely not India. China will wait for an additional 200 million people to have dinner." Selov found that the population can really scare people.
There is a saying that when you have nothing, you still have life. After this battle, the world's largest population country will be replaced. India's population will surpass China and become the most populous country in the world. Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing. The population in South Asia will be even more explosive, but this population bomb cannot hit the Soviet Union, so the General Political Commissar does not care.
At the same time, the Soviet Union is not an immigrant country, and we should worry about countries like Britain and the United States. Immigration without quality is not a benefit, but a great drag. Once India kills Pakistan, the domestic conflicts in India will become more acute. I dare not predict it in the future, at least the history of South Asia is completely different.
"Indira Gandhi was really impressive this time. He refused mediation from all countries. Even Reagan threatened to teach India a lesson. This iron lady could withstand it." Andropov shook his head in surprise. India's determination this time, not to mention that other countries did not believe it, also exceeded the Soviet Union's expectations.
"It is indeed shocking to be a leader once a woman is willing to sacrifice herself. Fortunately, Mrs. Thatcher is not the president of the United States, and Britain's national strength is far inferior to us, otherwise it might be more troublesome than Reagan." Shelov said with a lucky expression, "We the Soviet Union will never surrender until the blood of the Indians dry up."
Andropov smiled silently, as if mocking the moral integrity of the General Political Commissar. This sentence was ridiculed by others for decades and was constantly mentioned, even India was embarrassed. Even if the last Indian was killed, the British Empire would not surrender, but this sentence was frequently picked up by Selov.
In fact, the time was just right in 81. Pakistan is currently in the military control period for the military government to rule. It is not that the military government lacks capabilities or that the military government is completely bad. The biggest weakness of the military government is its lack of legitimacy. Once a huge change occurs, such as the failure of the war, if the military government cannot even protect the country, it will be overthrown almost immediately. The examples of Greece a few years ago are still vivid in my mind.
Selov is not very optimistic about how long the Pakistani military government can hold on. If the war fails and the Pakistani people don’t know how to make a big fuss, India’s annexation of Pakistan will be destined.
After chatting for a while, Selov asked Andropov to be careful and expressed that he was willing to wait for good news in Moscow.
From the suspension to the end of the Western August 1st military exercises, the Warsaw Pact troops have returned to their country one after another. All 850,000 troops have returned to their housing locations and are ready for combat. At the same time, the Soviet Union issued a note, hoping that European countries and the Soviet Union will work together to maintain world peace.
The Soviet Union meant to threaten Western Europe through military means so that Western European countries would not express their opinions on India's issue.
The United States responded by holding NATO military exercises to face the impact of the Soviet Union's Western August 1st exercises.
Puchi! Selov almost spitted the water he had just drunk in the newspaper. Is the focus now still the West August 1st? Isn’t it the tripartite war between India and Pakistan and Afghanistan in South Asia? It’s not the frequent appeals of the Pakistani military government?
Why did NATO countries remember the Western August 1st again at this time? And Selov narrowed his eyes. This move was very familiar. If he remembered correctly, he had used this trick himself. He pretended to be very busy and was restrained by his opponent. Although he wanted to help his allies, he really couldn't free up his hands.
That's right, it was just two years ago when China pressed Vietnam to the ground to rub it. The Soviet Union was like this, making a very busy look at the United States and constantly giving eyes to Iran, avoiding the embarrassment of facing China head-on.
Learn from me? Have you paid the copyright fee? Western Europe is definitely not going to shed blood for the Americans. Anyway, the Soviet Union has not done anything to Western Europeans at the moment. As for other directions, that is the American's obligation and has nothing to do with our old Europe.
British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher said that the free world is never afraid of confrontation with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union should immediately understand that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is by no means a decoration. It also announced that the NATO exercise will be started in mid-July.
The Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries responded one after another, saying that the free world would never be afraid of the threat from the Soviet Union and must immediately respond to the Soviet Union's Western August 1st exercise.
The Soviet Union also responded in a tit-for-tat response, saying that the Western August 1st exercise was only suspended, and the second phase also began in mid-July. The Soviet armed forces had the determination and ability to crush any threat and bury the enemy with steel and fire.
"Mrs. Thatcher chose an opponent that he would never defeat. Britain is just a small island on the edge of the world. How can he confront the most powerful country in the world!"
"The Soviet Union is nothing more than an alliance of policemen, soldiers and liars. It is built on lies. The free world will never allow us to be enslaved." Mrs. Thatcher declared with a tough attitude, relieving the embarrassing scene for Reagan. Soon Reagan and Mrs. Thatcher sang together, expressing his desire to teach the Soviet Union a lesson in Europe.
But why did it teach the Soviet Union a lesson in Europe, rather than attacking the weaker India? Because once India is taught, it is a real war, and the confrontation with the Soviet Union is just an exercise that looks very similar to a war. The latter only needs to do play, while the former requires death. If the Soviet Union sells kidneys to support India, Britain and the United States will fall into a larger and larger quagmire.
This proves that the Soviet global strategic competition planned by Brezhnev is the right choice. Military forces confronted Europe and NATO, and conquered cities and lands in other directions through military aid and economic aid. As long as you control the world's energy and mineral bases, industrial heroes in Western European countries can be useless.
If Brezhnev lived to be one hundred years old and had a few decades of extra time in power, he might have been able to withstand the sausage bit by bit. Unfortunately, the great leader's willpower was not very good. First of all, he could not control his body and could not do the various maintenance tasks required by the doctor, and no plan was useful.
Moreover, Brezhnev was a policy outside and inside. He cut off Xie Lieping, who should have an advantage in age, and caused great losses within the Soviet Union. He did just one hundred things well, so he let the old man control the Soviet Union alone, which could wipe out all his benefits.
The Warsaw Pact and NATO set off a stance to criticize each other, and obviously they would fight each other once in Europe. The center of the world media went from the India-Pakistan War to the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States again. Soon, Reagan visited France and once again threw out the argument of evil empires, pointing out that the existence of the Soviet Union is the root of the world's problems.
These remarks aroused great dissatisfaction from the Soviet Union. Even Brezhnev believed that Reagan was not a qualified leader and had no benefit except using his remarks to intensify the emergency situation.
At this time, Andropov returned from China and returned to the Kremlin to report on the visit.
"China did not agree to us, nor did it agree to the United States. However, before I came back, I heard a remark that China was dispatching troops from the northern military region to support Pakistan. But I don't know whether this remark is true or false." Andropov said with some uncertainty. If it is true, it will be very unfavorable to the Soviet Union.
"No, China is just trying to help. It will take at least one month to mobilize troops from the northern military region to the southwest. Pakistan is now under attack from the north and south, and it is very likely that it will not last for a month." Selov shook his head, "and the mobilization of troops from the north itself is to relieve us of pressure, and China is just acting morally."
The world's major powers are all more and more like me, and they all act like I'm very busy, otherwise I would have been involved and it would be soft.
