Chapter 663 The victim is in good condition (Part 2)
The aftermath of this incident was far more intense than imagined.
First of all, the successor who won the election was removed directly before he could take office. So who will lead the Soviet Union next?
Regarding this issue, the United States did have something to say, but when they opened their mouths, they found that their house collapsed.
Perhaps most people have not forgotten that the workers' and peasants' movement in Mexico is still in full swing. With Superman filling the gap in force, this is not as simple as one plus one equals two. It is entirely a quantitative change that leads to a qualitative change.
The red wave broke out from Sinaloa and soon swept across the entire west coast of the Pacific. Even some areas of California were affected. After all, the treatment of farmers here was not good.
Just as the bald eagle opened its beak and was about to hoot, it found that its gorgeous and beautiful feathers were on fire. Some of the words it said were unpleasant, but if the fire was not extinguished, its tail would be burned away.
Human beings always like to create all kinds of unsolvable problems for themselves, but there are many solutions. For example, who should be saved first when mom and wife fall into the water? When a tram hits one person or five people? Who should save the head or the butt first?
Logically speaking, the head is more important. Once the head is gone, the person is completely dead. As long as the head of the red giant can be chopped off, no matter how small a spark is, there is nothing to fear. At least that's what Congress thinks.
of.
But then again, the Soviet Union is now on its last legs, and Moscow is full of all kinds of double-dealers and walleyes. Even if the United States doesn't push it, it will collapse sooner or later.
However, the Red Wave in Mexico is huge, and the revolution is very young and very hot. If it cannot be extinguished and really grows up, wouldn't it be another young Soviet?
I'm standing in front of you, and you see that I look a lot like before. At least when the gentlemen on Capitol Hill think about the past, their legs can no longer move, they can no longer breathe, and people have to go to the emergency room.
This group of Americans who came from the Cold War have a deep understanding of how fierce the flames that were ignited in the Far East were. Countless of them are thankful that, fortunately, that land is far away from the mainland of the United States.
Otherwise, no one knows whether this cold war will become a hot war that will destroy the world. Distance not only produces beauty, but also produces peace.
Judging from the influence of this red wave, once the time is right, the giant bear will die, but that is by no means the end. The blazing red heart will come all the way from Moscow and beat again in Mexico City.
The aging giant bear will be reborn as a soaring eagle, and there can only be one sky overlord in the entire America.
What is the geographical advantage of South America compared to the Far East? At least Congress knows that those thousands of miles of fertile plains, once they belong to the people again, are enough to nourish a beast stronger than the Soviet Union.
After thinking about this, the men in Congress tearfully decided to save their butts first.
If the Soviet Union were to be reborn, not to mention the tail feathers, even the chicken legs would have to be torn apart and gnawed alive.
They are destined to have no choice. While devoting all their energy to suppressing the Mexican movement, they also interfere with Moscow. They can only choose the lesser of two evils. If Moscow is left there, it is destined to slowly rot. It is better to deal with Mexico first.
After the decision was made, almost no one had any objections. Compared with political games far away, a fire at the doorstep was more important.
However, the withdrawal of the United States did not make the situation in Moscow better. The successor who had already won suddenly died. What they lost was not one candidate, but many.
If the United States is suspected of assassinating the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, the suspicion of the United States is the first, then the suspicion of other candidates is the second.
This was also the focus of public relations in the United States before. They claimed that it was done by other candidates who wanted to compete for power. The domestic people were not without doubts about this.
In this case, the existing candidates must avoid suspicion for this. Whoever takes office will have to bear the reputation of assassinating his predecessor.
More importantly, this assassination put all the candidates in disrepute. If Americans dare to assassinate one, they dare to kill the second. You can be a puppet, but you have to make money, and you can make money, but you have to spend your life.
In essence, this incident actually created an atmosphere of distrust. The CIA no longer trusts the democrats they developed, and these people no longer trust the United States. Everyone is trembling, fearing that the other party will stab them in the back.
.
Since the existing candidates are not good, we can only re-select them. Who has the right to select? This has to mention one person, that is Gromyko, a Soviet veteran who was a diplomat.
He spent almost all his life in the Cold War, so he formed a special set of Cold War thinking. He believed that the stalemate with the United States was dangerous and tiring. This was also the consensus of the top Soviet officials at the time.
They hope that the successor can ease relations with the United States, be tolerant at home, and appease the radical sentiments of local hardliners. This is why the reform lines proposed by previous successors are all conservative.
If things don't change, then the new batch of selected candidates will still be conservatives, but the problem now is that the United States took action first.
The United States put a knife on everyone's neck, and that shot seemed to tell all the top leaders of the Soviet Union that I have no intention of easing relations with you, because I can kill any of you at any time.
The inertia of the Cold War is very strong. Once one side becomes tough, the other side will never give in. What's more, no one knows who will fall next time the gun is fired.
In this case, they have to hope that the candidate can toughen up, and at least be able to deter the United States from doing so at will, and that the successor can at least protect their security.
Once the route begins to deviate, the impact will be great. First of all, the requirements for candidates have changed. Being gentle, close to the people, and willing to delegate power are no longer the first conditions. On the contrary, being able to seize power and perform well are no longer the first conditions.
Toughness, drive, and charisma are the top priorities.
As we all know, the easiest way to transfer conflicts is to establish foreign enemies. The United States has used this trick countless times. This time, although the Soviet Union did not use it intentionally, the effect was unexpectedly good.
The people no longer care about certain ideas put forward by local radicals. They want to see a leader who can face the United States toughly and make them pay the price for their arrogant behavior.
At this time, a candidate who had long been eliminated as a candidate entered the senior management's field of vision, and that was Vasilyevich, who had just returned to Moscow from vacation.
In fact, he was originally the most powerful contender for the position of successor. However, because he had previously excluded dissidents and expressed his partisanship against dissidents, he was far less friendly than Gorbachev. Therefore, before he came back,
, the plenary session has been convened and the winner has been elected.
But now, because his successor has been assassinated, all the candidates who participated in the meeting with him are suspected and must avoid suspicion. However, this airborne party who has never participated in the meeting from beginning to end, went on vacation early, and has no regard for worldly affairs, has become
The best candidate.
So, as soon as Vasilyevich landed in Moscow, he was knocked unconscious by a huge pie falling from the sky. To put it simply, the person we originally appointed has died. Now we are all very optimistic about you, why don't you come?
Be the supreme leader.
Originally, according to the current situation, this candidate must have the approval of the United States, but now, the United States has its butt on fire and has no time to care about Moscow.
There were some people who wanted to intervene, but the timing of Vasilyevich's parachute was too good. He was simply the chosen one, and he did not give them any chance to promote one of their own.
In this way, after the aftermath fermented for a week, the position of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union changed hands again. Four leaders changed in five years. Everyone was exhausted and tortured. Their request for the new leader was to live well.
Just don't die.
After the situation basically stabilized, Moscow also began to study a question, that is, who initiated the vigorous Mexican movement?
Their current conclusion is that Mexico currently does not have the possibility of spontaneous revolution. Therefore, this movement must be guided from outside. So who guided this movement?
The idea of the investigation is also very simple. Even if it may be initiated by someone at the top, if he wants to achieve remote guidance, he must rely on agents stationed abroad, so it is definitely right to start the investigation from the KGB.
According to the KGB's internal personnel information, there are quite a few agents dispatched to Mexico, but judging from the information they reported back, everyone's intelligence work is being carried out in an orderly manner, and there is nothing unusual about anyone.
For a movement to develop to this extent, it is definitely impossible for him to be part-time. During this period of time, he will definitely not be able to carry out normal intelligence work, so he should be traced from the agent who suddenly lost contact.
However, after checking around, it was found that no one had lost contact. The KGB began to zoom in on the entire America. As a result, there were many more candidates, but the vast majority of those who had lost contact could obtain information related to their positions from the CIA.
The corresponding leaked information means that they have betrayed.
There are already very few people who have lost contact but have not found the corresponding leaked information, and there are even fewer people who have experience, ability, and ideas.
Finally, the KGB's eyes rested on a name.
"Alfred, with this call today, I will bring you good news from Moscow. We have a new successor, and the first thing he does after taking office is for me to have a phone call with you.
"Kaila stood in the hospital office and said to the other end of the phone.
"What?" Alfred asked in confusion, and then he heard Keira say to him in a proud tone:
"The Supreme President expressed great praise for you. He called you the greatest revolutionary mentor in the past ten years and an eternal friend of the Mexican people."
"He said he was sorry that because of the current situation in Moscow, he could not honor you in person..."
"However, the Soviet people, the Mexican people and all comrades in the world who have great ideals will never forget your great deeds!"
Keira's tone suddenly slowed down and became gentler. She said in Russian: "...Proletarians of the world unite, comrade."
A week later, Alfred took a box from Keira. After he opened the box, there was a personal letter inside.
Above the handwritten letter, a badge with a sickle, a hammer and a red flag was shining.
