MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 916 wait for a chance

   After receiving this news, after looking at the plan to attack Europe, the general secretary found more and more that the plan to attack Europe should be the product of having two more drinks that day. Obviously, he drank too much and forgot. With the current decline in oil prices, the possibility of a war in the Middle East is much more likely than the war he planned.

How to do it? The general secretary is also very desperate! The evolution of the situation will not depend on his will. Even if Serov is already the general secretary, of course, the plan will not be abandoned. When the conditions are ripe, the raid on the Federal Republic of Germany will be launched.

  South Azerbaijan wanted to merge with the Soviet Union, forcing him to think about the Middle East issue by taking the attack on the European line as a record. Like he said, this is definitely not a good thing. For the country of the Soviet Union, all are negative factors.

  It is now the 1980s. Even if the Azerbaijanis in northern Iran are willing, the Soviet Union cannot do anything that would greatly damage the country's reputation, not to mention that this will change the population structure of the Soviet Union. There are tens of millions of Azerbaijanis in Iran. The Soviet Union is not a country like China or India where major ethnic groups or religions dominate.

Before the concept of    the Soviet nation was established, the Soviet Union could not do this, otherwise, when they raided Turkey, Serov would not have expelled the local Turks. The unity of the proletariat of the whole world is only a concept at this stage, and it sounds beautiful to the general population.

   World Revolution, you have found the wrong person, go out and turn left to find Trotskyites, the general secretary will not send you. In his mouth, Serov will also shout two sentences about the world revolution, which is a good idea for the international Trotskyites, and at the same time scare and scare European and American countries. In fact, he has always strictly implemented Stalin's theory of building socialism in one country, and at most Eastern Europe...

   In such a fierce confrontation, the general secretary has already helped enough countries to help the poor. Don't expect Serov to do more. "This matter requires Comrade Gromyko to give the People's Party government a formal guarantee in a formal setting. Cut off the thoughts of the Azerbaijanis and support the People's Party to suppress such speech when necessary. ."

General    Chebrikov nodded. He understood what he meant. Before the concept of the Soviet nation was truly established, any expansion of the territory could not be considered, even if other nations took the initiative to join. A well-established society has been painstakingly established, and in a flash, the pacifists have become the majority of the country? Does this mean that the knives of the anti-revolutionary workers are not fast enough?

"Peace believers can't be trusted, not one of them." This is what Serov said at the KGB Presidium meeting. "Idealists and materialists are two kinds of people, they have no common language with each other, and their ideas are different. Either we suppress them, or they persecute us. If there is a chance, we will clean up, and the number of cleanups will not be capped..."

  If the Soviet Union is dominant on this earth and its strength is far more than other countries, Serov is still talking nonsense with you? Directly ban Saudi Arabia from importing food, create a famine in the Middle East, and get rid of the source of the scourge of donating mosques to other countries.

   "I see, I will communicate with the Iranian security services." General Chebrikov understood that the general secretary did not actually hate the religion of peace, but included all religions. Nor is it against immigration from one country alone, but all against it. In the eyes of anti-revolutionary workers, they will not deliberately distinguish what kind of harm you will cause, as long as you will cause harm.

   "It seems that the incident in the Middle East will break out first!" Shelov smiled casually, his original intention did not change, he still wanted to compete with the US military, but it seemed that the battlefield should be the Middle East, not Europe.

  The European plan has not been abandoned, the basic conditions still need to be created, and the lock of the INF Treaty must be removed. What is in front of the General Secretary now is that he needs to break out all the unfavorable factors to the United States within one to two years.

   When General Bagramyan met Serov for the second time, he didn't mention the plan to attack Europe, and instead focused on the Middle East issue. The current oil price is only slowly falling. Compared with the peak of 34 US dollars, it has fallen a lot, but it can still cause fatal damage to Iraq and Iran.

   The real oil war has not yet started, and Serov is anxious for Reagan, so he will not hurry up to show the domineering power of the Plaza Accord, let Saudi Arabia cooperate with the strategic actions of the United States, and weaken the Soviet Union, a group of allies with rich resources but how powerful the Ministry of Industry?

   But he is the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, not the president of the United States, and cannot help Reagan do these things. All he can do is wait. The price of oil does not drop, and Europe itself lacks resources. Recovery after being sucked by the United States is definitely far away. The suppression has a price and also allows the industrial scale of Western Europe to be used to help its allies reduce production costs.

  International industries are closely linked. To achieve this goal, the United States cannot keep oil prices so high. Otherwise, what the United States does is not shearing wool, and the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan are likely to be directly killed by blood drawn by the United States.

  The United States cannot do this, so it has to help the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan to transfer the contradictions out. There are many countries with rich oil resources, but none of them have such unique conditions as Saudi Arabia. It may be a little exaggerated that oil is cheaper than water, but everyone knows that production costs in Saudi Arabia are indeed much lower than other countries.

   "But you're really moving!" Shelov was anxious, and he couldn't let him take the initiative to support Iraq in killing Kuwait. The peace-loving international image of the Soviet Union is no longer needed. Serov, who was under the tutelage of Khrushchev, did not need anyone to teach him in terms of intimidation. From time to time, he would stand up to scare people, but after the world of Khrushchev's era, he also had a certain immunity.

   In the post-war great war, the Soviet Union fought one and the United States fought two. Ten years ago, the world was relatively calm. What many people who eat melons thought was unlucky was that a pair of such leaders appeared at the same time in the United States and the Soviet Union.

   "Western European countries happily let us and the Americans cut down on medium-range missiles. I really don't understand." General Bagramyan is still entangled in this issue, and he clearly thinks that an evenly matched enemy would make such a decision.

"They would rather be threatened by our most powerful tank army than be pointed at their heads by nuclear missiles. This is the difference between Western Europe and the United States." Serov shrugged. Another reason is that the French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party in this space and time They are all powerful. Western European countries have seen what it is like to govern by the Communist Party, and they think it will not be so. Although life in Portugal cannot be compared with that of an economic powerhouse, it is not inferior to its neighbor Spain.

  Why does Serov always plan to attack the Federal Republic of Germany? One of the important reasons is that the Federal Republic of Germany does not have a strong Communist Party. The Soviet Union once tried to get a spokesperson, but it failed.

   In fact, the communication with the military is still a matter of direction. The General Secretary drank too much that day and only paid attention to the most important Europe, forgetting that the Middle East is equally important. The Ministry of Defense is a brand new field for Serov. Of course, he is also a marshal, but he has only commanded Western Bayi once and lost to Ustinov.

   It is now 1985, which is a very meaningful year, the year in which Ge Map came to power in history. The Soviet Union began a mad rush towards **** that will never return. As a counterexample, Serov must go as far as possible in the opposite direction to Getu.

Because the   Ge map has just come to power in the first year, it is not possible to turn the Soviet Union into negative growth for the time being. Therefore, the basic achievements of this American spy in the first year are like this, directly attacking the most powerful departments of the Soviet Union. Slashing the budgets of defense, security and mainstay military industries. After taking office, he has not approved a military procurement contract, resulting in the armed forces not getting new weapons and equipment.

  The Ministry of the Interior and the KGB were also poorly funded, and the morale of the staff in these departments was very low. For the republics, the general secretary also abandoned the former Soviet Union's past generosity and cut financial aid to them as soon as he took office, while two-thirds of the republics had previously received funding from the central finance. The food-strapped republic no longer buys Moscow's account.

  When the Soviet Union increased its military spending every year, it had a lot of confrontation with the United States. When the military spending was cut, the economy began to avalanche. Ge Map really completed the seemingly impossible task.

  The Soviet Union has been able to fight against the United States for so many years. It must have its own advantages, and it cannot be all disadvantages. Some departments are superior departments that even children can see, such as the powerful departments of the Soviet Armed Forces, the KGB, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

  Since the Russian New Year, department leaders have been constantly appearing in front of Serov, emphasizing how important his department is. Serov can understand this feeling, and his previous self was also the same as these people.

   Even if the growth rate is back to 10%, Serov will not be able to do what he wants.

"As far as I know, due to the reduction of some alternative jobs, the personnel of the Planning and Economic Commission have not increased but are decreasing. What do they need so much money for?" Serov tilted his head and asked Tikhonov, but Tikhonov did not answer. It seems that after reaching the age of 80, the energy of the Soviet economic leader is somewhat insufficient.

Controlling the idea of ​​​​pushing the other party to wake up, the general secretary, in a gesture of respect for the old comrade, pretended not to see it, and asked Ryzhkov, who was assisting Tikhonov, but also did not get a satisfactory answer, and said impatiently, "Bobu General Koff, investigate for me."

   "Understood, give me one day." Generally, one of the two KGB first vice-chairmen will be in the Kremlin and the other will be in Lubyanka. They change every month, and this month it will be Bobkov's turn.

Serov swept around indifferently, except for Tikhonov, who was asleep, no one dared to meet the gaze, cleared his throat, "I already have plans for military and security expenses. Comrade Ryzhkov, Release a message saying that a large oil field is suspected to have been discovered!" Sheloff was still ready to help Reagan, but it was not his style to always wait.
