Chapter 619 Mutual awarding of titles
Selov is optimistic about the possible favorable changes in the future and focuses his main energy on difficult bones. For example, those countries that have withstood the Soviet strategic offensive in history, such as the Congo, Saudi-supported Congo, Saudi-supported countries, Turkey blocked the Soviet Black Sea, etc....
Iraq is just an appetizer for the Soviet Union to turn defense into offense, which is not necessarily the end. Geographically speaking, even if the Soviet Union succeeded in Iraq, it cannot be said that it cut off the Eurasian continent from the middle, but it is almost the same. After Iraq came to power, the area that still geographically isolated the Soviet Union from the Persian Gulf was the area bordering Iran and Turkey. Traditionally, the Kurdish region scattered in the two countries. After Iraq turned to the Soviet Union, this narrow zone became the Kurdish corridor that blocked the Soviet Union's southward movement.
Although the war has not been successful, it can be said that this corridor will not become a threat. All of this corridors are inhabited by Kurds. As long as the Soviet Union declares support for the independence of the Kurds, no Kurdish tribe can refuse. It is not that there is no way to stabilize this corridor and continue to surround the Soviet Union. As long as Turkey and Iran make up their minds and kill more than 10 million Kurds, this open cleansing of a nation in modern society will be gone after the Jews. I believe that neither country dares to do this, neither Iranian King Pahlavi nor Turkish President Jeff Dets Sunai does not have the courage.
Leaving the problem to the other party is always a clever strategy. This success has a great relationship with the Soviet Union's operations for more than ten years. Without friendly relations with Syria, there would naturally be no success in this armed uprising. On a global scale, the Soviet Union's international environment is quite favorable, which depends on the work of the Soviet Union over the years. You cannot say that the first two steamed buns are not to be eaten just because you have eaten the third steamed buns.
The KGB's thundering method will gradually be known to the outside world as time goes by. There is no airtight wall in the world, but at present it seems that it will take time for Western countries to straighten the context of the entire Iraqi internal affairs.
After the meeting of the Ministry of Defense, Selov and Marshal Grechko, Marshal Huasilevsky, Marshal Zhukov, Marshal Zakharov, Marshal Bilizov, Marshal Baglamiyang and Marshal Yelemenko discussed it and passed an aid plan to help establish the Iraqi People's Army. According to this plan, the Soviet Ministry of Defense and the KGB will form a military advisory group with a population of 22,000 to help Iraq carry out military construction.
"Comrade Selov, I hope you can attend a rank ceremony in two days. After all, you are also one of the National Defense Commissioners." Marshal Grechko, the Minister of Defense, called Selov and whispered after the meeting.
Sherov's face changed, and his face was very exciting in an instant. This kind of thing actually happened to him. It was really interesting, "I understand, this kind of scene is quite rare, and I am willing to witness history."
The next day, Rubiyyangka welcomed a guest, the second-ranked Albanian figure, Xie Hu. After a long discussion, the two sides assisted the Albanian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the name of the Soviet National Security Council in exchange for support from a thousand Albanian police cadres. These police cadres will go to Iraq to perform their mission. The KGB promised to pay double wages to everyone in Albania, and if they sacrificed, they guaranteed to give excellent pensions to Iraq.
"These Albanians are still as greedy as ever and have never changed." Zinev looked at the KGB intelligence fund and was obviously very dissatisfied with Albania's attitude of supporting everything.
"It seems that the expense is a little bit greater, but we still need them in the end." Selov looked at Xiehu who was leaving by the window and said to Zinev beside him. "Iraq is a peace religion area, and the religious power is too strong. Once Iraq's status is stable, we still have to attack religion. In this regard, the Albanians are real experts. You must know that Comrade Hocha has been imams for generations, and no one knows better how to deal with deeply rooted religions than him."
Just as Stalin was very miserable in the process of dealing with the Orthodox Church, Stalin himself graduated from the seminary and knew very well about Orthodox Church, while Hoscha was even more cruel. His understanding of Peace Church was far more than Stalin, which led to the scene of the extinction of Albanian religion. How to explore the dark side of religion, these Albanian cadres know more than anyone else.
In fact, Selov also understood some basic principles. Disintegrating religion does not involve any education or liberation movement, nor does it rely on appeal. These methods are of course effective, but they are not enough to be fatal. Albanian means to directly attack famous religious figures. In the sincere clergy, there is no scum in the entire group. As a descendant of the imam, Hocha understands more than anyone else, so his approach to dealing with clergy is to find out the scum in the clergy group one by one and record the places where they violate the doctrine.
Once the seemingly hypocritical clergy are found to be violating the doctrine and shaking out all their unethical things in private, it is easier to use than the few methods mentioned by Selov. Clergy violates the doctrine, which means that they themselves do not believe in religion. Since they themselves do not believe in it, why do you hope ordinary people will abide by the doctrine? Any religion says that they are peaceful and equal, and at least the peace religion also says that they are equal in their religion. What do you think of ordinary religious people? Religious leaders do not respect religion, so why do ordinary people believe in religion?
This matter cannot be urgent. Albanian cadres cannot take action immediately as soon as they go to Iraq. Instead, they have to wait for Iraq to consolidate its rule and establish party organizations in various places before they can take action. Now, Albanian cadres go to Iraq to become internationalist fighters first, understand the Iraq environment first, and wait for Iraq to stabilize. Only then will the lightning-rush start to launch a movement across Iraq.
After the matter was arranged, it happened to be the day when Brezhnev returned. During the talks in Prague, Brezhnev achieved good results. Although Selov and Andropov were mobilizing their strength to fight in Iraq at the same time. But this is not a contradiction. Brezhnev's easing policy was against Western Europe, and he never thought that he could deceive the United States. Things in other directions had nothing to do with easing.
The Federal Germany's attitude towards the Soviet Union has changed from its early hostility to its current friendship. This is normal, because the strength of the Soviet Union has changed and is no longer a strength that is not proportional to the United States in the years after the war. At that time, the Federal Germany naturally held the Americans' thighs, hoping to kill the Soviet Union in one breath and unify the democratic Germany again. Now more than 20 years have passed, the strength of the two camps is getting closer and closer, and unifying Germany has become a theoretical possibility.
Also, in the May storm last year, France's left-wing forces won a great victory in the general election. France's instant changes made the Federal Republic of Germany feel unsafe for the first time, but now Charles de Gaulle can still control the situation. But since then, France's faced the Soviet issue has obviously been different from before, and its words have eased a lot.
In front of the Federal Republic of Germany is an endless socialist camp country, and behind it is France, which is beginning to be clearly close to socialism. This situation makes Federal Republic of Germany feel for the first time that Americans seem to be a little unreliable and should try to develop friendly relations with the Soviet Union alone. As the number one economic power in Western Europe, Federal Republic of Germany decided to use this power to talk to the Soviet Union.
This need for self-safety is no longer something that the Paris Coordination Committee can manage. Even France has the advantage of its own left-wing power, let alone Italy, which has been hitting the Soviet Union for ten years, has long regarded the provisions of the Paris Coordination Committee as waste paper.
When Brezhnev had just got off the train, the Soviet Ministry of Defense had sent people to wait at the train station to receive the first secretary who had just got off the train to the Ministry of Defense. All the marshals and national defense committee members of the Ministry of Defense gathered, and Marshal Grechko personally presided over a rank award ceremony.
"Comrade Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev showed the quality of a member during the Patriotic War, and showed the fighting spirit towards me in a difficult environment. In peacetime, as an excellent cadre, he led the local provincial committees to achieve extraordinary results and showed superior qualities in various positions." Selov read this flattery, "After the decision of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, Comrade Brezhnev is now awarded the rank of General. January 29, 1969..."
After Selov finished reading, military music sounded, and Marshal Grechko, the Minister of Defense, wore the rank of general to Brezhnev, while other national defense committee members, including Selov, applauded at the same time. Who could award the rank of the First Secretary of the Soviet Central Committee? Selov could say that he did it, at least he read the letter of the appointment.
Soon, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union awarded the Order of Brezhnev, and on the next day, at Brezhnev's proposal, the Supreme Soviet awarded the Order of Lenin to Selov, Chebrikov, Bobkov, Zinev and Tsvigon with the Order of Lenin, which was considered a reciprocity.
