Big Time 1958

Chapter 365: wait for the moment

  The reason why the Soviet Union launched the Cuban Missile Crisis this time was entirely to abolish the unequal treaty between Cuba and the United States and to help Cuba take back the Guantanamo base. If the Soviet Union supports China to solve the problem by means of war this time, the favorability that has just been brushed will be gone in an instant, so the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs must not make a statement on the Sino-Indian war. What's more, the opposition has spread almost all over the world, and the leader brand of India's Non-Aligned Movement is still very valuable at this time.

   Even in the original history, it was impossible for the Soviet Union to support China, because the Soviet Union did not dare to stand up to China in the face of such a wave of opposition. You must know that in 1962, the relationship between India and the Arab countries was not bad. The first Indo-Pakistani war could be pushed to the head of the British colonists. Nehru pushed the war of independence between India and Pakistan to the British, which has been recognized by many countries. The brand of India's non-aligned leader is really broken At the beginning, in addition to the defeat in the war, there was also the subsequent Indo-Pakistani war that completely offended the Arab countries and disintegrated the Non-Aligned Movement.

   At this time, China was nominally an ally of the Soviet Union, and most countries did not dare to spit on the Soviet Union, but spit on another country of the same type as the Soviet Union, but there is no psychological burden at all. Are those Arab countries dissatisfied with the Soviet Union? That's for sure, but the Soviet Union is so close, and many Arab countries have been colonized by Britain and France, and the strength of the Soviet Union is needed to fight against the old-fashioned colonizers, so the atheistic Soviets have to put up with it. But it doesn't mean that even China, which is far away, can bear it. Anyway, China is also an atheist country.

   As for the name of a lot of African countries in the back, Serov didn't bother to read it. In fact, if the Soviet Union made a statement, at least in public opinion, China would not be so ugly, at least there are comrades in the socialist camp support, right? But if the Soviet Union, which has just passed the Cuban Missile Crisis, immediately supports China to fight the war, will it have a sense of imperial approval?

   "I can only do it, but I can't say it. This is my attitude this time." Serov frowned and looked for the entry point, what kind of timing is the most suitable, what kind of power is the help, which kind of force is the resistance. Who can cooperate with the Soviet Union and who may stumble upon the Soviet Union, all these factors must be considered.

   Don’t even think about the support on the surface, but China is not at a loss. The land of more than 200,000 square kilometers is not occupied for nothing. As long as these lands are eaten, what are people afraid of for a few years? I don't want to be scolded, and I want to get benefits. If there is such a good thing, please tell Serov, he also wants to share the benefits.

   "The question now is whether China will retreat because the opposition is too loud." Serov thought about the problem from a different way of thinking, that is, what was the reason for China's final retreat in history. Love peace? This reason is pure nonsense. If you really love peace, you won't choose to do it. And judging from the timing of the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union in Cuba, it is obvious that there is a premeditated plan to beat India, saying that it is normal for other peace-loving countries not to believe it, and it is the fool who believes it...

   Difficulty supply lines? There seems to be some truth to this reasoning, and it seems acceptable given that the battlefield on both sides needs to pass through the roof of the world. But Shelov always felt that this was not the main reason. He had seen the list of equipment that China seized from India in later generations, and even seized a lot of aircraft and tanks. Could it be that there will be a shortage of food? Besides, the northeastern part of India is a plain, not the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Chinese soldiers are all farmers and will starve to death in the plains? What a joke.

In this time and space, after the war began, Nehru once hoped that the Soviet Union would give some help to improve the supply line in India. That was after Serov went to Cuba. Specifically, it was operated by Kudryash. Now it seems that the food dropped by air It should be captured by China now, after all, the Indian military failed too fast...

   called Kudryash over to ask about the situation. Kudryash patted his chest and promised to remove all labels that could prove to be from the Soviet Union. Serov also needed to ask how many supplies were there.

"About 3,000 tons, right? It's all canned food and some dry food. It seems that Chairman Semichasne ordered it to be too obvious during the day. We calculated the flight time and determined to arrive at the battle site at night for the airdrop. Kudryash said knowingly, "The airborne troops trained earlier were also airdropped to areas far from the battlefield."

"More than 3,000 tons, and each Chinese soldier can be divided into 100 kilograms, which is quite a lot. You won't be hungry for at least two months!" Shelov converted it and skipped the shortage of supply lines. This is not China. Reason for retreat.

Thinking about it this way, it is actually diplomatic pressure that makes it more likely that China will retreat. Serov has seen seventy or eighty countries supporting India. Who knows if there will be more in two days. After all, Cuban missiles The crisis is over.

   Originally, the Soviet Union was neutral in history, and it may have been frightened by public opinion on this scale. In the current history, the Soviet Union still has to be neutral, because the good reputation it has just acquired cannot be thrown away. In this way, apart from the greater victory, China is in a similar situation. In 1962, India was still the leader of the Third World and the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement. It has easily won the support of most countries in the world, and there are less than ten countries that support China.

   It is still the earlier question, will China withdraw its troops under this kind of opposition? Serov touched his chin and thought seriously, he knew that the withdrawal of troops was actually not clever from the perspective of later history. Although it is beneficial to diplomacy, the gains are too small. He is really afraid that China can't stand the accusations of dozens of countries and will withdraw its troops. Not to mention China, in fact, the Soviet Union has suffered such a loss. It is the Western Armenia issue that has just been seen. The Soviet Union expressed its goodwill to Turkey. , the Turks took the goodwill of the Soviet Union as an insole, turned around and killed the Armenians.

   That lesson made Stalin prepare to clean up Turkey just after the Great Patriotic War, but it was stopped by the Americans. However, this time, China's advantage is that the United States does not dare to go to war with China by itself. If he did, then the Soviet Union would be very happy. Whether it was Khrushchev, Kozlov, or Brezhnev, they were all willing to treat the Soviet revisionist's remarks as unspoken. The spirit of internationalism came to a fight against US aid. Don't look at the unpleasantness between the two countries, but in 1962 these conflicts were minor ones, and the Soviet Union would happily pretend that nothing had happened. It's like having a bad relationship with China, but also supporting Vietnam and the United States to fight a war. The biggest enemy is the United States, and the Soviet Union can continue to oppose the United States by singing an unbreakable alliance.

   So how can this action prevent China from retreating? As the head of the Central Liaison Department, Andropov is actually doing the same job as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, except that he is specifically dealing with socialist countries and the Communist parties of other countries. From the tone of Semichasny, Andropov should be pouring chicken soup for the soul.

  Selov is in charge of this part himself, what can be done to stop the withdrawal? This is a problem. We must create consequences that will not be understood even if we withdraw our troops, so that China can see the consequences, so that the occupied areas can be digested. As for whether those places were established independently or merged into China, this is not something Serov considered, anyway, it is not from the Soviet Union.

   In the evening, Serov sent electricity to Moscow and asked if Nehru asked for help from the Soviet Union? He was ready to enter India, and he had to ask for help in Nehru, otherwise the purpose of destroying the Non-Aligned Movement would not be achieved.

Serov believes that the Americans have the same considerations as him. In fact, the United States and the Soviet Union have the same attitude towards the Non-Aligned Movement, that is, they are embarrassed to openly oppose it. There will definitely be a way to embarrass a movement that is independent of the US and the Soviet Union, and now is the perfect opportunity to humiliate India.

   Deep down, the difference between China and India is not so obvious, and both are potential enemies for the United States and the Soviet Union. Now that these two countries are fighting, because India has suffered a big loss, it will definitely give India some comfort on the surface, but in actual actions, it will definitely find an opportunity to embarrass India and embarrass the non-aligned leader.

   This can be seen from the support given to India by the United States and the Soviet Union after the war in history. That batch of military aid was not advanced weapons and equipment at all, but the weapons left over by the United States and the Soviet Union during World War II. The use of these weapons to send to India and widely reported is itself a humiliation to India.

"Nehru seems to be preparing for the army to counterattack. Let's see the results first. If he fails, you can implement your plan, Yura!" Shelepin asked over the phone, "Do you think India's counterattack may be successful? Is it?"

"How is that possible? Their most elite brigades are all lost in the mountains and mountains. Why are the reserve forces now being used to counterattack? With the old Li rifles in the hands of those soldiers who are older than my father?" Shelov said with a look of disgust, "Wait until this counter-offensive is shameful again, I'm going to save them."

   "Well, the telegram from Comrade Dobrynin from Washington said that it seems that the Kennedy administration is also preparing to wait and see and make a decision. Maybe then you will cooperate with the Americans!" Sherepin paused and the voice came from the phone.

   This is not expected. Historically, Nehru has conceded defeat until late November. At the beginning, he was really ready to assemble the army to take back the lost land. He panicked and sent telegrams for help after the counterattack failed.

   "Got it, the world is changing fast. I just condemned the United States at the UN General Assembly, and I have to cooperate with the Americans again so soon!" Shelov laughed and hung up the phone. (To be continued~^~)
