Chapter eight hundred and second brewing
NATO defeated the Warsaw Pact in the 1990s, but it really made Eastern Europe unable to make a comeback. In 1998, Western Europe harvested wealth from Eastern Europe and completely defeated the national industry established by Eastern European countries during the socialist period. Western Europe itself is richer than Eastern Europe and cannot immediately show hostility, and it is also impossible to replace the Soviet group.
How to incorporate Western Europe into the Soviet system, you must not give orders to all Western European countries to do it. If you want to complete the task at a smaller cost, you are destined to make a long-term plan, and waiting for opportunities and games are necessary.
So this requires certain planning. If the food is too ugly, the Soviet Union will not get any benefits. Any country must follow certain rules. The Soviet Union's plan and instructions cannot solve all problems, and Western European countries will resist.
This dialogue between the Soviet Union and Asian allies, as the General Secretary and the President of the Supreme Soviet, the Soviet Union's well-deserved great leader, the unquestioned controller of the Eurasian continent, the second Ilyic after Lenin, and other Brezhnev, who was awarded titles from various countries, also began to preside over the meeting after the meeting entered the decisive stage.
On the surface, Brezhnev still looked majestic and restrained. During the Brezhnev era, the Soviet Union's relative strength had reached the strongest in history, and its international status was far beyond the Imperial Russia era known as the European gendarmerie. The increase in strength allowed the Soviet Union to truly reflect its strength of the two strong forces and began to compete fiercely with the United States all over the world.
So even if Brezhnev was a little old and arrived at the venue with this halo, it still made all the delegates attending the meeting so oppressed that they could not breathe. You should know that the whole world recognizes that the Soviet Union is one of the two superpowers. One thing is also recognized, that is, the Soviet Union's military power is the strongest in the world.
The Soviet Union's military power is more famous than the Soviet Union itself. Who made Europe and the United States unified the theory of Soviet threat? As for the Soviet Union's own media, they have always believed that they are the best in the world, and officers at all levels below the Minister of Defense Marshal Ustinov think so.
Brezhnev expressed his welcome to the visiting country, but his voice was still calm and gentle, without any airs of being arrogant. Then he began to take out a manuscript to give a speech. After five minutes, other members of the Central Soviet Union's presidium waited until Brezhnev returned to his position and sat down, reflecting Brezhnev's powerful authority in every move.
"The construction of the Asian security system is to protect the socialist right and allow friendly countries to obtain the ability to protect themselves. It is a matter of great concern to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had no intention of interfering in Asia's political territory, but it could not allow imperialist countries to hold on to the weak without any scruples, so this meeting was established." Brezhnev said slowly, "First of all, I want to emphasize that the Soviet Union has no intention of damaging the territorial integrity of any Asian country. On the basis of fairness and openness, the door to negotiations has never been closed. The system we advocate is just to allow some small countries to have the ability to protect themselves."
This statement is not tough. In fact, looking at Brezhnev's previous speeches, he almost never said anything tough, but the Soviet Union did start a global offensive under his own leadership.
"Any threat to the Soviet allies will inevitably suffer shameful failure." Selov poked the brim of the hat on his head, revealing his true face that was originally concealed. "Some countries always regard the restraint of the Soviet Union as tolerate it. It is very dangerous and repeated provocation. This is not a move that smart people should do."
As for who this country is, Selov's answer is a bit ambiguous. From different people and different positions, rich associations can be developed. Vietnamese people must think that he is talking about China, but it does not mean that Thais think so too.
This kind of blurring is also the best statement. Anyway, there will naturally be people who interpret the Soviet Union's actions and will take the role by themselves.
After Brezhnev's attendance, the process of the meeting was significantly accelerated. Selov had to admit that the aura thing does exist, but it does not exist in the individual, but depends on the position.
If Brezhnev was not the leader of the Soviet Union, he would not have paid much attention to him. But he was the General Secretary of the Soviet Union and the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Union. Even if he didn't say anything here, he would even drink water and listen to other foreign ministers.
On June 9, the long-term discussion finally came to an end. The Soviet Union, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and the Kurdish Republic announced in Moscow that it would sign the Moscow Treaty, and Vietnam and Laos announced their withdrawal from the ranks of observer states of the Warsaw Treaty Treaty and enter the newly drafted Moscow Treaty.
The Soviet army and part of the signatory states' army formed an integrated force, including the navy and the air force, commanded by the Joint Armed Forces Command. The purpose of the organization is: "If any State or Group of State attacks against one or several States parties occur in Asia, each State shall exercise the right of self-defense alone or collectively in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, individually or through agreements with other States parties, in all ways it deems necessary, including the use of the armed forces, immediately provide assistance to a State or States subject to such attacks."
Brezhnev decided to draw ships from the Red Navy to join the integrated force. At the same time, although the treaty was signed in Moscow, the final headquarters chose Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. This was also a decision discussed at the meeting of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union. There were two clear opinions on the meeting, namely Moscow was the headquarters and Southeast Asian countries were the headquarters.
They were respectively Kirilenko advocated Moscow as the headquarters, and Selov as the proposal to choose Southeast Asia as the headquarters. Selov communicated with Ustinov, Andropov and Gromiko, believing that there was no need to compete for the false reputation of a headquarters, and that the headquarters of the North Atlantic Convention was not familiar with Washington, so they would place their headquarters in the military deployment. Moscow itself is not suitable for the headquarters in Europe.
"There is no need to establish a headquarters in Moscow, and it is even more unnecessary from a military perspective." Defense Minister Ustinov said, "General Political Commissar Selov is right. If the nominal headquarters is placed in Moscow, it will only make the United States and Western European countries think that we are too cautious, and make the third world countries think that the Soviet Union's control is too close. There is no benefit..."
Ustinov's words ultimately led Brezhnev to support the Southeast Asian headquarters. Anyway, the right to speak is ultimately based on the country with the strongest military power. The Soviet Union, the General Secretary of the Asian Security System, is this role, and this will not change anything.
Is the Asian Security System in? The news of the establishment of Moscow immediately swept the world. Unlike the general positive reports of Warsaw Pact countries, Britain and the United States said that this was an important step in Soviet hegemony and that countries should unite to restrain themselves. However, Western European countries are not very willing to buy it. Confrontation is right in front of us, and millions of troops from Warsaw Pact and NATO are waiting for it. This gives Western European countries no leisure to pay attention to confrontation thousands of miles away?
The voices condemning the Soviet Union are mainly concentrated in the United States and Commonwealth countries, including Australia and New Zealand. After all, Oceania is the front line of the world facing Southeast Asia, as well as protests from Malaysia and Singapore. Western European countries only reported it for a few moments and continued to do other things. Faced with millions of Warsaw Pact troops, they had no time to care about the suggestions of another military alliance.
"It's still the old way. No reprinting of any reports in China is allowed. That's it." Selov gave the order coldly.
Of course, China will not have positive reports, and by the way, criticize the Soviet Union as social imperialism. However, Selov does not take this matter seriously. He has countless plans and really has no time to focus on the Far East.
"General Political Commissar, won't you fight back against China's attack?" asked the fake propaganda minister, looking at the chairman who was about to leave.
"What counterattack? Since ancient times, don't try hard. It's better to find a way to bury nails than to have the skills to fight. History is a bad debt, and each will choose what is beneficial to you. Although my propositions have been shameless since ancient times, I would do this if I were me. If we can completely crush the strength of the United States, it would be okay to claim sovereignty to Alaska at that time." Selov shrugged. Diplomacy must be backed by military affairs. The deepest reason for the British Empire's diplomacy is that Britain is the most powerful country, and Britain is not the most powerful country, and only the ability to mess around is left.
"Let me take a few days off. The situation in Iran is getting more and more tense, and we should do it soon." Selov, who left with a briefcase, did not forget to instruct, "If there is any movement in Iran, call me."
The Soviet Union's goal has never changed, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. As long as the Far East is calm, it can do anything. At least now, Selov's mood is far better than Pahlavi. Faced with this storm in Iran, the Carter government is far less domineering than the domineering oneself. The United States' delay is also destroying King Pahlavi's confidence.
Although the current protest did not directly cause armed conflict, as time delayed, the scale of the protests became larger and larger. He knew that this was guided by Khomeini in Paris. He wondered if His Majesty, the king, regretted that he was soft-hearted and killed Khomeini, the source of evil.
Afghanistan has received new equipment from three Soviet divisions. Amin, the second-ranked Afghan figure, placed two of them on the western border to prevent the spread of Iran's turmoil to Afghanistan. He also understood that this was his enemy. Once it affected Afghanistan, it would only expand his serious reactionary power. (To be continued.).
