Chapter 797 Nanyang Absolute Interest Circle (two-in-one, please subscribe)
“…They are not players, but they can decide who is the final winner,”
Your words make me Berlin and Cheng Peng'an, the two Nanyang intelligence chiefs, were a little confused.
“They are?”
“Their power has been ignored, but now, they will be the decisive force!”
Li Yian pulled out a photo from the report, drew a circle on one of the marshals with a pen, and said.
"Zhukov, the symbol of victory, he represents the military, whoever they stand behind will win!"
Military!
Who would have thought that during the great purge, the military, which was almost wiped out, would become the decider of this game?
Li Yi'an had read an article before, which mentioned the break between Khrushchev and Zhukov. The article was written from Zhukov's standpoint, and it was specifically mentioned that Zhukov's support made Khrushchev Became the final winner, and the reason why the military supported Khrushchev was simple - they also did not want Beria to come to power.
In a word, the military remembers the "Great Purge" that year - 3 of the 5 marshals, 3 of the 4 first-level army generals, all 12 second-level army generals, and 67 60 of the corps commanders, 136 of the 199 division commanders, and 221 of the 397 brigade commanders.
Although that job was not done by Beria, it was done by his predecessor. When that guy Beria was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did a lot of dirty work.
So, the military's attitude towards Beria is very clear. That kid may launch another purge. Even if he doesn't have this idea now, who can guarantee that he won't do it in the future?
For those marshals who came out of the mountains of corpses and blood in the Great Patriotic War, they knew very well how to protect themselves.
In this case...then kill this kid!
This is of course not a positive change, but to protect themselves. They are not trying to replace him, but will support a guy they trust to come to power. Who is this guy?
That’s Khrushchev.
The relationship between Khrushchev and the military has always been very harmonious, and they also cooperated very closely during the war.
It was also the cooperation during the war that convinced the military that Khrushchev would never launch a major purge.
And this is the fundamental reason why the military finally supported him.
Ever since, the military has become Khrushchev's biggest supporter. There is even a saying that when the steel fell, the reason why Khrushchev was the last to go was to communicate with the military, that is, Zhukov and others. .
The authenticity is still unknown, but what is certain is that the final winner was Khrushchev!
After all, this is history!
It is also the final choice of the military, but the military that currently supports Khrushchev does not know that in a few years, after securing this position, Khrushchev will give Zhukov to Knock down.
Of course, just as Zhukov and the others speculated when they now chose to support Khrushchev, even after being defeated, he did not physically destroy Zhukov, and did not expand it further, but just stopped at Zhukov.
It has to be said that these marshals who came out of the smoke of the Patriotic War are still wise.
"Then who will the military support?"
"Who knows?"
Li Yian shrugged his shoulders and said.
“For things on the other side of the Iron Curtain, we can only rely on guessing in many cases, which is definitely not possible...”
Sometimes you still need to pretend to be vague. Li Yian doesn't want to give people the illusion that he knows everything. After all, the development of history is going beyond history little by little. This also means that he cannot always be an accurate prophet.
After saying that, Li Yian turned his attention to Berlin and asked.
“So we should strengthen our work there in the future.”
If you want to be a prophet all the time, you can only strengthen your intelligence work. Only in this way can you make accurate judgments in the future.
Berlin nodded.
"I understand."
Although it is difficult, some things always need to be done.
Li Yian then told them to strengthen their intelligence work on the surrounding areas.
“Although the new leadership of Soviet Russia, no matter who it is, will adopt a short-term relaxation strategy.
But this relaxation is also a partial relaxation, such as the peninsula. The peninsula may cease the war. But other areas, such as French Indochina, have become new hot spots, and we need to strengthen monitoring there. ”
Some things are always inevitable. Whether you are willing to face what is going to happen or not, it will happen.
After Cheng Pengan and Berlin left, standing in front of the map and looking at the Indo-China Peninsula, Li Yian couldn't help but sigh.
"Indochina...it seems like it can't hold on any longer...Malaya!"
Looking at Malaya, Li Yian's brows furrowed.
In fact, using the threat of Soviet Russia is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you may even hurt yourself. After all, the threat is not just verbal, but will cause direct harm to Nanyang itself. .
Li Nian's bottom line is the Nanyang Islands, including the Malay Peninsula, and this area will not make concessions under any circumstances.
“The entire archipelago region is Nanyang’s absolute circle of interests, and we must not make any concessions. If necessary—when necessary, we must be prepared to fight a war in Malaya! ”
When the pencil drew a line on the map, he was determined to protect the Nanyang sphere of influence by force if necessary. No, it should be to protect the "free world". Li Yi'an knew very well in his heart that if there was really a fight The price that Nanyang may have to pay for the war will probably be a war that will last for several years by then. But unlike the United States, which has tied its hands and feet, once the war breaks out, Li Yi'an will never tie the hands and feet of the military and cross the border. The bombing will be carried out from the beginning. In a word, no one is allowed to get involved in Nanyang's absolute circle of interests.
"Don't say that you are unpredicted..."
After saying this softly, Li Yian frowned, and then said to himself.
"Well, we should inform them through some channels at the appropriate time... If they insist on having their own way... then, don't blame Nanyang's hegemonism..."
After all, Nanyang also has its own problems. His qualifications are full of regional hegemons, so hegemonic!
How can we be worthy of Nanyang's development in recent years if we don't implement it? In fact, in his heart, Li Yi'an is a social Darwinist. Nanyang has always been committed to his own development, not just to be able to do it at the right time. , show your strength, and the only thing that can make people awe is strength.
"The Malay Peninsula is just a link in the circle of absolute interests."
While talking to himself, Li Yi'an stared at the "Nanyang Circle of Absolute Interests" he drew on the map. ", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes became a little solemn.
"If you want to build an absolute interest circle, you must first ensure control of the absolute interest circle. Otherwise, how can it be an absolute interest circle?"
In this absolute interest circle, there are three special places, one It is the Malay Peninsula that borders Red Siam. Although Nanyang has now built a separation zone there to block possible exports, no one knows whether the exports will stop. But in terms of control, as the Tang people occupy a mainstream position in the local political system, there will be no change in the Tang people's control of Malaya in the future. The future Malaya will definitely be another country dominated by the Tang people, and also For a country directly controlled by Nanyang, Nanyang's influence on Malaya will be all-round, and troops will be stationed there. Therefore, although Malaya is special, the overall situation has been set, and there will basically be no surprises. .
Another special place is the Philippines. The Philippines is still very proud of itself. After all, its per capita GDP is the second in Asia, and it also receives a large amount of US aid every year. How can people be dissatisfied? This country is the biological son of the United States, which also means that Nanyang cannot directly intervene in its internal affairs, and on the issue of Mindanao, the relationship between the two countries seems to be peaceful, but in fact Manila is very dissatisfied with Nanyang. After all, The Mindanao Special Zone was implemented with the support of Nanyang. In the eyes of many Filipinos, this is dividing their country. Of course, Nanyang has always tried its best to deny this and has never admitted this. But they never deny the special connection between Nanyang and the 800,000 Tang people in the Mindanao region, because they all hold Nanyang passports. Some things are just like this. They deny it openly and do it quietly at the same time.
This has also led to a certain deadlock in the relationship between Nanyang and the Philippines. Even if there is a leading brother there, it cannot affect the deadlocked relationship between the two countries, but the Philippines What he can do is not even the right to lose his temper. After all, Nanyang is a nuclear country.
But Li Yi'an has no ill intentions towards the Philippines. He even believes that in the future, as Mindanao's economy takes off, the Mindanao Special Administrative Region may even reversely control Manila through elections. After all, Filipinos also desire Live a good life. Even in the long run, with the rise of Nanyang, it is not impossible for the Philippines to "Tangren". After learning Chinese becomes the mainstream, the Philippines will inevitably move toward "Tangren" in the hope of being able to catch the ship of Nanyang. After Mindanao takes charge of the Philippines, he will definitely comply with public opinion and promote Chinese language teaching in the Philippines.
It is not impossible, just like in another world, Mexico once voted to join the United States in a referendum. Although Li Yian is not willing to accept the burden of the Philippines, he does not reject it if Mindanao can control Manila. If the Philippines can be "Tangrenized", that would be great.
So, in general, although the Philippines is currently under the control of the United States, it does not pose any substantial threat to Southeast Asia.
The other place is Indonesia. Compared with the Philippines, Indonesia This is the biggest unstable factor in the absolute profit circle of Nanyang, and it is also the biggest threat. In terms of population, Indonesia, with a population of 70 million, is not only a populous country, but also a peaceful country. With such a future population exceeding We are neighbors to countries with 200 million people, and they are all peaceful believers. No matter what, it makes people feel uneasy.
And they are still cooperating with Soviet Russia. In the future, their cooperation will only deepen. Their cooperation may even exceed that of another world. After all, with the rise of Nanyang, as the United States in The most important cornerstone of the Western Pacific, Soviet Russia will definitely do everything possible to create obstacles for the United States. They will create obstacles for the United States by providing military assistance to Indonesia in order to contain the power pairs in Southeast Asia.
From a security perspective, it is not a matter of adding blockage, but a threat from Chi Guoguo. Now Nanyang is also a member of the atomic bomb club. From the perspective of "global strategy" in the future, if Soviet Russia is in Indonesia What about deploying missiles? And it's the kind with an atomic bomb.
Not to mention the deployment of nuclear missiles, even the stationing of tens of thousands of Soviet troops in Indonesia is unacceptable to Nanyang.
So from the perspective of eliminating threats, splitting and disintegrating Indonesia is what Nanyang must do. After all, there is nothing more important for a country than building its own safety circle.
Perhaps Li Yi'an, who understands the future, knows very well that the general trend of the world in the future will be peace, but this kind of peace is the peace of the general trend. However, the tension in the region has never stopped. Every region , all have destabilizing factors, and Indonesia is the Nanyang Islands, that is, the biggest destabilizing factor in the Nanyang absolute circle of interests.
If this unstable factor is not eliminated, Nanyang will not be able to sleep peacefully!
"Indonesia..."
Staring at the absolute circle of interests on the map, Li Yian lit a cigar and smoked it silently. Amidst the smoke, Li Yian glanced from time to time at several places in Indonesia. He looked at the island and thought about it, and after a long time, he said to himself.
“It’s better not to rush into this matter. If you take a big step, it will be easy to make nonsense. Take your time...”
In fact, this is true for many things. The more important the matter, the more important it is. Don't be anxious. Now that you have decided to use Indonesia's internal problems to promote its collapse, all that is left is to wait and see what happens and wait for the right time. At this time, patience is the most important thing.
“This requires more work from Hydra, and the Secret Intelligence Service can also intervene.”
Walking to the large teak desk, after thinking for a while, Li Yian made a call to the Secret Intelligence Service. On the phone, he contacted the issue of supporting the Indonesian opposition. After a brief communication, he hung up. Telephone.
After a while, Li Guoren, the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs, came. As soon as he came in, he first explained the situation, and then asked whether to send anyone to attend Steel's funeral. Should he send a special envoy in the name of Nanyang or the ambassador to the Soviet Union? join.
“The current responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to make a professional assessment of the Soviet Union in the post-steel era.”
Although in terms of the influence of steel, Nanyang does An envoy should be sent over to attend the Iron Funeral.
But this limelight cannot be released for the time being,
After all, Nanyang is still the "cornerstone of Asia's security" acknowledged by the Americans themselves. Just send a special envoy to Soviet Russia to attend the funeral of Steel... This is still debatable.
"As for the funeral... it's not important at all."
What's important is not the funeral, but how to deal with it in the post-steel era. For the country, this is what matters most.
Although Li Yian knows that Heda Corn Cob is the winner, that is another world. What if there is a change?
So, at this time, what is the most reliable choice?
Just stay out of it.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should also stay out of the matter. This is the most reliable thing.
"Let the ambassador represent you. The situation in Moscow is very delicate now. In this case, we have to keep an appropriate distance and wait until the local situation stabilizes before dealing with them."
Now... let them fight on their own!
"Your Excellency, the embassy believes that Beria is likely to be the final winner. His suggestion..."
Before Li Guoren could finish speaking, Li Yian interrupted him.
"Send a message to the embassy and tell them not to make any suggestions. They must keep their distance from everyone!"
Your decision surprised Li Guoren and said.
"Your Excellency, this is a good opportunity to communicate with the new leader."
"If you choose the wrong one, you will be doomed!"
Li Yian said directly.
“The man from Bay Island chose Dewey, but what was the result?”
Recalling Principal Chang’s lesson, Li Yi’an knew very well that now all countries are trying to fight against the new Soviet Union. The fundamental reason why these countries are so eager to deal with leaders is that based on the analysis of the intelligence they have, Steel has not arranged a successor.
There are still many candidates for the top management behind Steel. Because there are so many candidates, who the new leader will be is a matter for discussion.
It does not matter whether the new leader has iron authority or not. What is important is that if the wrong person is chosen, let the new leader hold a grudge.
Enough to drink a pot of Nanyang.
Historically...the United States and the United Kingdom chose to remain silent, but France remained stubborn and took the initiative to congratulate Malenkov. The result was obvious - from French Central and South to Algeria, baguettes were He was injured with a stick and received several sap blows.
I have to say that in some things, it is better to keep a distance, in order to avoid being resented by others. Heda Corn Cob may seem rough, but he is a very grudge-bearing guy. Of course, it is not appropriate to contact him now. What if history changes?
"Your Excellency, do you mean that the situation in Moscow is still unstable?"
"Steel..."
Li Yian opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He was silent for a while and then said.
“If Steel chooses a successor, everything will be easy to say. Now, in this uncertainty, we don’t know who will win in the end. Before the final winner wins, we still have to Keep a certain distance, okay, in the future we just need to be prepared to deal with a Soviet Russia without steel. A Soviet Russia without steel... is nothing to be afraid of! "
Say this! , Li Guoren couldn't help but frown slightly and said.
“Your Excellency, Soviet Russia is still very powerful!”
“No!”
Li Yian shook his head.
“This power is just an appearance. There was only one czar in Soviet Russia in the past - Steel. In the age of steel, all allies of Soviet Russia had infinite awe for the Steel Czar, and after Steel’s death ... No one has this prestige anymore. Today’s Soviet Russia is just Soviet Russia!”
When he said these words, Li Yian couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. If Steel can live again! In twenty years? Then it is very likely that the Soviet Union will lead the world in the future... No, at least the United States will not become the winner of the Cold War!
But no matter what, the age of steel is over, and his death is destined to change the entire world in the future...
