Chapter five hundred and eighty first

Vietnam's Spring Festival offensive has come to an end. The attacks of the North Vietnamese army in various fronts have been repelled. Just a few days ago, the North Vietnamese army surrounding the Xishan base also began to retreat. ★ Half of the US troops in the entire Xishan base have been killed, leaving only less than 3,000 reinforcements left.

The US military was raided in almost the first time in this spring offensive. In addition to the Xishan Base, the US troops in other directions were not prepared. The US troops were killed in the entire battle. About 40,000 North Vietnamese soldiers were killed. For both sides, this was a tragic victory. The Soviet Union's domestic armament was continuously transported to Hanoi to provide supplements to the North Vietnamese army that was damaged. It can be said that as long as there are still people who dare to join the army in North Vietnam, they will never worry.

So in the final stage of the Battle of Xishan, two fully armed Soviet armed troops were retreating when the North Vietnamese soldiers around Xishan retreated, this fully armed support was also sent back to the country by the battlefield reporters. It once again aroused the wave of anti-war in the United States. People shouted slogans to protest at the Pentagon, "Give up, we have fallen into an endless war of attrition. We cannot stop North Vietnam supported by the entire Soviet group, and we cannot win even on the battlefield."

"We will never serve!" In front of the TV camera, American students participating in the rally threw their military service cards on the ground and burned them. The raging fire on the ground showed the whole of the United States that students would not participate in this war.

The number of students gathered in front of the Pentagon was as high as 100,000. The young man shouted the anti-war words, saying that he would never vote for any candidates who would continue the war in the next election. There were even people in the crowd holding the flag of Vietnam. In an ongoing war, students from his own country actually protested against themselves with the flag of the enemy. This scene was known to the whole United States through television broadcast, and everyone was deeply shocked.

"Look at these students, men have such long heads and women wear leather shoes and armed belts. Americans are crazy," Serov commented gloatingly when he turned off the video machine. "But although we have invested so much, they are still profitable overall. The shipments of drug lords in South America have increased year by year in recent years, which is inseparable from this environment."

In this era, a period of violent turmoil in American society. Anti-war movements, civil rights movements, black movements, women's movements and other movements were intertwined, and waves of protests in society were one after another. Based on uneasy about social turmoil, dissatisfaction with reality and confusion about the future, American youths have abandoned existing social values ​​and pursued a nihilistic lifestyle that avoids reality. As more and more young people choose such a way of life, a powerful counter-cultural culture began to appear and ran through the entire era, causing this era to "all moral norms that guide individuals and social behaviors to be attacked." The main feature of counter-cultural culture is the large number of hippies, and their spiritual core is: "Do your own thing, escape from society and go to fantasy." They participated in anti-war advances held in various cities.

The whole society was filled with distrust of the government, and students faced the country's policies with a negative attitude. This situation was also encountered by the Soviet Union during the Afghan War. From the perspective of the country, this was completely a drag. But this was born in the United States. As the general political commissar of the Soviet Union, Serov had to speak with his butt and do a good job.

After the start of the Vietnam War, the KGB South American Division had become the most profitable department of the KGB. The largest drug lords transporting drugs to the United States were not those small countries around. The name of this organization was the KGB. You should know that there were also many places of origin around the Soviet Union, such as Iran, eastern Turkey, and Afghanistan. These places brought huge workloads to the KGB border defense forces, but then Selov ordered the border defense forces to focus on combating this crime and give rewards. So the border defense forces began to enforce the law across the border, and sometimes crossed the border to rob. In the end, this kind of harmful thing was sold to the Americans in the South American Division's KGB security personnel.

"According to our informants in the United States, violent crime in the United States has reached a new high, and there is an uneasy atmosphere in society. In addition, many students are listening to our Moscow radio station." Sakhatovsky also said this with a smile. Americans were worried, and of course the Soviets were happiest.

Moscow Radio, in fact, has a more acceptable name in the United States, called Voice of the Soviet Union. The headquarters of Voice of the Soviet Union is not far from the Kremlin. It is a beige office building that broadcasts in all mainstream languages ​​in the world, and even directly uses foreigners to broadcast, including many language experts. The restaurants in the radio station are served in different foods from various countries every day.

The role of the Voice of the Soviet Union is the same, which is to introduce the achievements of the Soviet Union in socialist construction to the Americans. All radios, including French and German, were abolished ten years ago. In addition to the English used by the Americans themselves, it has become a Russian radio station to deal with the Soviet Union. However, after the independence of the British and French colonies, more than a dozen new languages ​​were added. Needless to think about it, it is to compete with the Soviet Union for the transformation of these emerging countries.

During the Cuban missile crisis, in this tense situation, in line with the United States' foreign policy, it greatly strengthened the broadcasting of Cuba, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The British Times claimed that a "destructive broadcast bombing" was carried out. The Soviet Union's Voice happened to be Russian and the Soviet Union's Voice's greatest workload was English.

The two countries have a very consistent attitude towards each other's peers. The Soviet Union blocks the signal, while the United States blocks the signal of the Soviet Union's Voice, but for some people with relevant knowledge, they can always find the signal again and listen to what they want.

When problems arise in the United States, the shadow of the voice of the Soviet Union appears, which is normal. The process of the Soviet Union's strong export of values ​​continued until the Afghan War, but the main reason was that the Soviet Union successively killed its leaders at that time, which affected its work in this area.

"The Cuba Office also said that our movies have been selling well recently." Selov patted his thighs. Of course, the rise in violent crimes among blacks must have nothing to do with the movies. As for why white women are victims, he doesn't know what's going on. Didn't Reagan say that people want to kill people, not guns want to kill people. Selov thinks that what he said makes sense, that people want to commit crimes, and has nothing to do with the movies made by the Cuba Office.

"By the way, Chairman, Ceausescu invited Charles de Gaulle to visit Romania. Are we expressing our Soviet position?" Sahatovsky almost forgot his real purpose this time. He came to inform France of his actions.

"Oh? Hum?" Selov said oh, suddenly stunned, and then his mind began to turn sharply. De Gaulle visited Romania and asked anxiously, "When, how many days will he visit?"

"It seems like a week, and it is May 15th. It is the news sent back by our comrades from the consulting department." Sakhatovsky knew at the sight of Serov's reaction that this matter was very important.

"The French internal students are confronting the government. Charles de Gaulle is really confident and thinks his prestige is effective?" Serov pinched his finger and thought it was a matter of this. It turned out that this kind of thing would happen during the May storm. You are the one who falls into the trap. If you stay in France and don't come out, I believe there is nothing we can do about the Soviet Union in this storm.

For the Soviet Union, Ceausescu was not an obedient person. Starting this year, Romania established diplomatic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany and maintained diplomatic relations with Israel. Austrian Prime Minister and leaders of Asian, African and Latin American countries visited Romania. Nixon of the United States visited Romania twice. While inviting foreign leaders to visit, Ceausescu led a delegation to visit frequently, conducted extensive contacts with countries around the world, strengthened exchanges in science and technology, economy and other aspects, and expanded Romania's influence in the world.

Ceausescu obviously kept a distance from the Soviet Union, so the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union had talked about this issue several times, whether Ceausescu had the idea of ​​leaving the Soviet Union and asked the KGB to evaluate the situation.

But something different from history exists, that is, in this history, the Soviet army in Romania was not abolished, and there were still Soviet troops in Romania. After Ceausescu came to power, he wanted to communicate with Khrushchev on this issue, but both Brezhnev and Serepin were blocking the two from talking about this matter.

"Teacher, no one knows the problem of Romania better than the National Security Council. You were our general counsel to Romania back then. The Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs was established by you." Selov looked at the first vice president of Sakhatovsky and said, "Before retirement, don't you want to see another Western European power become our friend?"

Of course, Selov understood that De Gaulle had the ability to extinguish the May storm, and as long as De Gaulle did not make mistakes himself, the Soviet Union could not do anything with his breastfeeding power, but he never knew that during the May storm, De Gaulle was still visiting, and the country he visited was Romania that the Soviet Union could influence.

This is the benefit of knowing history. Selov knew the birth of May Storm and understood the importance of Charles de Gaulle's visit to Romania this time. Therefore, he faced the possibility of success in things that could not have been successful. Italy has become an opposition party, but perhaps the Soviet Union can make up for this loss from France.
