Big Time 1958

"I don't ask you to do well, how about this work? Even if you teach your skills to the younger generation. Young people today have somewhat forgotten how anti-revolutionary workers do things, it's not that they are not enough. Well, it's the lack of psychology to deal with emergencies, which your old comrades have, but the young people of our generation don't!" Shelov patted a few old men on the shoulders and said very seriously.

   How many people you kill is just a number, followed by the difference of a few zeros. Northeast India is not a place for the Soviet Union, and Serov can let them make trouble. It doesn't really matter if the work is clean or not. The key is to pass on this deterrent. The August 19 coup in real historical time and space gathered the most powerful coup lineup in the history of the Soviet Union. The KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense were all present, and the result was like a joke. where is the problem? The leaders of those departments could not even command their own departments.

   The old men in front of Serov now seem to be in good spirits and strong bodies. But the gray hair on their heads and the folds on their faces have proved that these anti-revolutionary workers are old. This is not an exception, but they are really old. The selected group of people is still a good group. If Serov didn't face up to this problem a little later, and when these people are dead, they really won't be able to get them back.

"Who said that the current KGB doesn't have this kind of quality, don't you have this kind of quality first vice chairman? Our alliance is protected by you, it is very safe!" The highest rank among the old men, Major General Amdo, was speaking. rove.

"But I only have one person, and one person cannot form a protection network. You old anti-revolutionary workers understand this better than anyone else. Our strength comes from the collective, and it is the common result of dozens of millions of anti-revolutionary workers. Work hard. We have fought, we have been proud, and now, we have been dormant." Shelov answered this question sternly. He is only one person and cannot afford the expectations of these old anti-rebel workers. Collective strength is strength. The source, man is always a group animal.

In fact, Serov does not need to ask too much about how to carry out this work. Although some young people in this group are junior brothers, he believes that these old anti-rebel workers know how to do it. This is not the first time, although the distance It has been almost thirty years since the last time, but these people are not Alzheimer's. If you think about it carefully, you will definitely remember how to do this kind of work. If you really forget it, please think of the slogan of the National Security Council, sniff out and Eliminate traitors...

   What concerns Serov is that the environment of Sikkim, which is located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, is different from most of the landforms in the Soviet Union. Supply is a problem, which is true for both the Soviet Union and the United States. Unless there is a direct airdrop, such desperate road conditions will always be a problem.

"If the Chinese comrades allow it, I hope you can get in touch with the Chinese comrades who occupy the northeastern part of India, and it is best to solve the supply problem on the spot. If it still doesn't work, you can also let the Sikkim royal family solve part of it. In exchange, we can Some places give the royal family a hint of clearing Indian influence, but don't be too obvious." Squinting Serov made the final arrangements, and if possible, he was unwilling to let his subordinates work in a state of lack of logistics.

  The United States does not have a base nearby, and the transportation distance is relatively long, whether it is from the Gulf region or Southeast Asia. Although the Soviet Union is closer, the cost must also be considered. After all, the Soviet Union's funds are not as good as the Americans.

  The northeastern part of India is not a plateau area. In fact, the altitude of that place is not high, and most of it is a plain area. Chinese soldiers with farmers as their main soldiers should not lack the ability to obtain supplies from the plains. Not really, they can still farm.

  The issue of face is unimportant in Serov's view. As the head of the KGB, he only cares about the issue of costs and benefits. Is there any difficulty in a certain area? Then see what this place has that you can use. No matter who the other party is, you can ask for it. What is there? Which is more important, the Soviet Union's big brother's face problem or the supply problem? The Central Committee members think of the former, while the security chief thinks of the latter. He is not a Central Committee member, so he can only think of the latter under the current circumstances.

   When you ask others, you can see what you can do to help them. Serov has been in contact with Andropov in China almost every day since he came to India. He has done enough in terms of kindness. One of the first vice-chairmen of the KGB personally came forward as a communist spy and told China of India's preparations and movements. Isn't that enough? Another boost is the Sikkim royal family. Can't the Sikkim royal family see that they are in danger of annexation? Are they stupid?

The problem with   Sikkim is that they are such a small country and have no resistance when facing India alone. Sikkim once put its hopes on China, which had defeated India in a border conflict. But in fact, Sikkim's expectations are doomed to come to nothing. The reason is very simple. China's strength is not enough. The southwest region is the weakest direction in China, even weaker than the northwest region. China cannot guarantee the security of Sikkim at all. Although India is relatively weak in the Northeast, it is still much stronger than China.

   What's more, India and China have different needs for Sikkim. For China, Sikkim is just a small country, with or without it, there is no big problem. For India, this problem is very big. Sikkim is related to the life and death of northeastern India.

  The strategic issue of Sikkim now has some changes from its original history. Because Northeast India has lost its occupation, the Siliguri Corridor problem has disappeared in a sense. The place is lost, what's the use of leaving a passageway?

The value of   Sikkim began to emerge from another aspect, that is, Sikkim has become the front line of the confrontation between China and India, the east is the Chinese army that has occupied northeastern India, and the west is the area bordering the mainland of India. In other words, Sikkim in the middle, like the fulcrum of a seesaw, is dangerous and safe.

To send away a group of anti-rebel workers from Major General Antorov, Serov still has to consider the next part of the action plan, which is what he got in this Sino-Indian war. Although the Soviet Union did not give China support in public, but Andropov in China and Serov in New Delhi have given enough goodwill on the issue. Even if China doesn't appreciate it, it is wrong for the Soviet Union to not give public support, and it should not make the relationship between the two sides continue to deteriorate. How can he say that Serov's espionage during this period of time was not in vain, without credit or hard work? ?

"General Serov, Colonel Yegrov, commander of the Airborne Brigade, is here!" This voice made Serov, who was thinking, come back to his senses, and said, "Let Colonel Yegrov come in, our commander must have doubts? "

When    cooperates with this orthodox commander, there will be such a problem. From a military point of view, some problems cannot be understood by the commander, so Serov does not lack the patience to explain to his own people.

"Our problem with China is a problem between our allies. Naturally, I know that the Soviet Union's support is not enough this time, but we can only be a knife. We have to wait for the timing. You are the commander. It is important to understand how important it is. Public opinion is not static, it will change.” Shelov said earnestly, “We are a big country, but China is not a small country, there is no question of who is letting who, understand? We have to leave. , stop thinking about these issues."

   The problem with Colonel Yegrov was the rigidity of the Soviet propaganda apparatus. It is true for China to say that the Soviet Union was dogmatic. Of course, this also applies to China itself. Socialist countries have this problem. When the time is good, they promote the other party to wear a pair of trousers with themselves, and can't wait to sleep together every day. Once the relationship deteriorates, the propaganda often fails to keep up. Instead of analyzing why the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated, it is labeled as dogmatism, revisionism, opportunism, etc. Only telling the results, not the process, this kind of propaganda is quite backward.

   During the Cold War, China and the Soviet Union gave each other hats, social imperialism and Han expansionism. Later, I saw that it was half a pound. It was not said in the 1980s. You are not all right, and we are not all wrong. In fact, it was caused by an unwarranted question. Will the Soviet Union invade China? Not at all, the Far East is only a secondary direction of the Soviet Union, will China invade the Soviet Union? No, after all, the Soviet military could scare off any opponent on land. But the Soviet Union and China just believed that the other side had prepared so much military power for themselves.

   Sent Colonel Yegrove away, I really doubt how such a commander was promoted. It's so naive to have reached this position. A country that only fought Jiang ships and not American ships in the Golden Gate artillery battle, and kept arguing over the Cuban missile crisis to make the Soviet Union and the United States fight a world war, how can it be so simple.

   "First Vice Chairman, the US Ambassador, Mr. Daniel, is here. He wants to ask you what you promised him about?"

Why is    here again? Serov rolled his eyes and ordered, "Let him in!"

  A week ago, an incident occurred in Moscow, and Daniel always came to the Soviet embassy to harass Serov because of this matter, because he knew that only Serov could solve this matter. Here's the thing, an American who learned two sentences of Russian shouted at the KGB headquarters building in Lubyanka Square, saying that the KGB was an executioner, and that Dzerzhinsky was a butcher. This American really had the guts. The ultimate mission of the Soviet Union was accomplished by an American. (To be continued~^~)
