Eight hundred and seventieth chapters changes in Yugoslavia
Gromiko began a tender offensive with Yugoslavia. Soviet Defense Minister Ustinov and KGB Chairman Selov went to Minsk to listen to the report of the Warsaw Pact Joint Conference. From the first time Reagan came to power, there was no warmth between the Soviet Union and the United States. All they could do was see who died first.
"Five months since the beginning of this year, we have clearly seen the hostility of imperialism towards us. It can be said that we are now in a quasi-war state with NATO. The war is coming step by step." Serov, who participated in this Warsaw Pact joint combat meeting in the name of the General Political Commissar of the National Security Council, has just begun to take the position and the current US-Soviet relations have set their nature.
Reagan had obvious hostility towards the Soviet Union since he came to power and began to eliminate the support of the Soviet Union. However, Reagan's review of the United States in the first one or two years has not been completed, and his pace has been relatively slow. However, since the Battle of the Cabernets, this action has been significantly accelerated. The establishment of the International Democratic League is only one aspect. There are many other means, involving many countries and industrial fields.
If Selov now says that Reagan is a congenital idiot, many Western European media, including the American domestic media, would agree very much, because normally, why should a US president lead his country and the Soviet Union to fight desperately? Of course, there are many supporters, but the opponents are also huge, and the degree of social division is not smaller than that of later generations.
But he really dared to implement his anti-Soviet policy, and just happened to catch up with the time when the Soviet Union's top leadership lined up to see Marx. Just as Andropov and Chernenko were fishing for three days and two days, the Soviet Union was like there was no general secretary. The most common leaders people saw on TV were not the general secretary and the second secretary, but the foreign minister, the KGB president and the defense minister. This state was very abnormal...
"Military counter-espionage agencies of all countries are also here. I will temporarily talk about several aspects of work to keep comrades prepared!" Selov cleared his throat and said, "Reagan's formulation and implementation of the Soviet strategy is mainly focused on the National Security Council rather than the State Council. The core figures in formulating the Soviet strategy are Defense Minister Weinberg and Central Intelligence Director Casey. Just like the relationship between me and Comrade Ustinov, everyone can think about it in the opposite direction."
The senior Warsaw Pact commanders who attended the meeting nodded, it is easy to understand that this is said. The intelligence and military fields have always been the main battlefields of national confrontation, and there may be more intelligence fields than the frequent level.
Financial, intelligence and logistical support for anti-Soviet activities to ensure the survival of the opposition in the heart of the Soviet Union; provide financial and military support to anti-Soviet resistance organizations in various countries, leading the war to the Soviet Union itself; reduce international oil prices through cooperation with Saudi Arabia and restrict the Soviet Union's export of natural gas to the West to reduce the Soviet Union's hard currency income.
Launching a neural war of unscrupulousness creates panic in the Soviet leadership; launching a global battle including secret diplomacy, greatly reducing the possibility of the Soviet Union obtaining high-tech Western technology; widely spread fake technical intelligence in an attempt to disintegrate the Soviet economy; carrying out an offensive high-tech national defense construction, putting heavy pressure on the Soviet economy and exacerbating its resource crisis.
"Since Reagan came to power, the number of US aircraft and warships invaded Soviet airspace and territorial waters has gradually increased. With the establishment of the International Democratic Alliance, this wave of violations will become more and more. It is simply that we have more choices than twenty years ago. Emerging socialist countries in Southeast Asia need our investment. In some countries that may be more dangerous, I am ready to deal with US military interference, such as Latin America. As for the oil and natural gas issues, the foreign exchange we obtain is actually not very useful, and there is no problem in supporting the use of our own camp. Of course, this problem still needs to be solved." Selov cleared his throat and said, "Saudi Arabia cooperates with the US actions and harms the Soviet Union. You should know that oil is much more important to Iraq and Iran than the Soviet Union. The latter two countries are not weak countries in terms of military terms."
"Can we fight pro-American countries in the Middle East by commanding Iraq and Iranian troops, and then create a second economic crisis in the capitalist world through oil prices?" said a general of the Bulgarian People's Army for a moment of consideration.
"It's very novel, but I think we still have to wait for Iraq and Iran to not tolerate it and take the initiative to demand support from our Warsaw Pact, which is more suitable for launching this battle that emphasizes both military and economics." Selov stretched out a finger and said, "There is no need to attack Saudi Arabia directly. You can try to do something in a country like Kuwait."
"As a country like Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran may not be able to swallow it, but it is not difficult to destroy Saudi oil wells immediately with the purpose of ensuring destruction. Although the combat effectiveness of the two countries is not high, they should be compared with whom? Fortunately, Saudi Arabia's military strength is weaker. It is feasible to launch a rapid battle through considerations in many aspects!" Selov and Marshal Ustinov, the Minister of Defense, communicated and nodded at the same time.
This multi-faceted consideration is also the issue of the international arms share of Soviet weapons and American weapons. Weapons cannot be eaten, but cannot be drunk. If they cannot be sold, it will definitely put pressure on the country's finances. For a long time after the Vietnam War, Soviet weapons, which are prone to large-scale equipment but are not expensive, have put a lot of psychological pressure on the United States.
If Reagan wants the US military to dare to confront the Soviet army, he must choose a pro-Soviet country equipped with Soviet weapons. Even spending more money will prove that the country armed by the Soviet Union is not so terrible. The first country the United States chose was Grenada, which had a big booze. In order to establish a strong belief in the United States.
The United States began to attack Grenada. At that time, the United States was still tentative. Whether it would suffer great losses like the Vietnam War. It turned out that it was too easy, strengthening the United States to win a limited war against third world countries with the support of high-tech, showing great confidence. This move made Reagan firm in his confidence in a big stick policy using force interference. It can be said that if the US military can suffer significant losses in Grenada, it will take some time for Reagan to regain confidence.
The problem is that even if he knew Reagan's actions, Selov could not do anything. He could only provide more assault rifles to make the country fall into a civil war after the US military withdraws, and smear the United States from international public opinion. The Soviet Union could not allow Argentina to defeat Britain. How could Grenada, a small island that 90% of the country, defeat the United States?
"Also, at present, within the borders within the Warsaw Pact framework, the air forces of various countries should be strengthened. Once the enemy air force invades, shoot it down!" Defense Minister Ustinov fiddled with the pen in his hand and lowered his voice.
"Comrade Ustinov's meaning is not difficult to understand. The Soviet Union has sufficient ability to solve the problems created by you countries, and on the other hand, no one can help the Soviet Union solve the problem." Selov didn't say it too clearly, meaning that the elder brother needs you to block bullets now, and he would rather shoot down the provocateurs who crossed the border than let the Soviet Air Force take action.
Reagan used many despicable means in the process of confronting the Soviet Union. In fact, Selov believed that Reagan could be an excellent anti-counterfeiter in the KGB, but unfortunately the other party was an American, so there was nothing he could do about it.
In the 1980s, there were a series of negative events in the Soviet Union, which also blamed the slow response caused by the Soviet Union's successive death of the General Secretary. In short, a series of events made the Soviet Union's international reputation disgrace. Among them, the Soviet Union shot down a Korean passenger plane is the most suspicious. Will such a trekking happen in modern society? Is the Sea of Japan the Bermuda Triangle?
Selov cannot change the Cold War environment between the United States and the Soviet Union, but he absolutely does not believe that the butterfly effect created has not even affected some small things. If South Korean passenger planes invade Soviet airspace again this year, he will conclude that the matter was planned by the United States, and he had communicated with the Korean People's Army before the Minsk military conference began. Once this incident occurs again, the Korean People's Army Air Force will dispatch to shoot down the passenger plane instead of the Soviet Air Force to see what it is inside?
After the Minsk military meeting, Selov contacted the pro-Soviet neighbors of Kurdish, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in his personal name, hoping to write that neighbors shouldered international responsibilities and protected themselves and Soviet airspace.
"Comrade Lankovic and I had a friendly exchange, and the results were great!" Gromiko ended his five-day trip to Yugoslavia. After returning to Moscow, he talked about this matter at a meeting at the Central Bureau of the Presidium.
If two ethnic groups decide things within Yugoslavia, they will basically become a foregone conclusion. That is Croatia and Serbia. If one ethnic group can decide things, it is Serbia. Rankovic is the No. 3 figure in Yugoslavia before the 1970s and the No. 1 figure in Serbia.
After Tito's death, the Soviet Union began to slowly start working to restore Lankovic's reputation. The stability of Yugoslavia must be exchanged for the interests of some Serbian nations. Just as the Soviet Union had to allow Russia to support the ethnic minorities on the frontier, and China had to make the Han people have no nationality. There is no way, because of historical reasons. Those nations are not something you don't recognize, otherwise the Soviet Union would not be able to split Kurdistan from Turkey.
