Chapter 896 The Fury in Moscow (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Some people feel happy, some people feel pain.
At least it is very painful for Moscow now. Although the "Bangkok Moment" picture will not appear in "Pravda", the reality of "losing Siam" makes Moscow's top officials very unhappy!
You can even say - very unhappy!
What makes them even more depressed is that the United States announced that it will provide economic and military assistance to Siam for the reconstruction of its country.
There are no secrets in this world, and many things are public. The so-called aid is just an excuse for the United States to enter Siam.
Facing the reality of the United States entering Siam, Moscow felt that it had been slapped in the face.
It hurts so much!
What Moscow lost, Washington gained!
This is not just unhappy, but angry!
In the end, these pressures were passed on to Khrushchev.
“The failure of Siam caused us to lose the source of natural rubber, and also lost coffee, sugar, spices and other commodities. Our comrades in Eastern Europe are asking - who lost Siam? "Lo!"
Although Motolov's voice was not loud, the amount of information revealed in his words was very large - everyone was very unhappy!
Can you be happy?
Before the comrades in Siam lost power, countries including the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe could obtain various products that were only available in the tropics through barter and even accounting, and now these are available.
This even affects the dining tables of various countries! Their dissatisfaction is understandable.
"Tell them that this problem is being solved. Although we have lost Siam, we still have Jakarta, where there is more rubber, coffee, sugar and spices, and their needs can be met. !”
Khrushchev directly changed the subject. Faced with the question of losing Siam, he directly chose Jakarta.
“Now because of the internal rebellion in Jakarta, if Sukarta is seeking our assistance, we will give them more assistance, more advanced weapons, and send advisors and even troops to them to help them Put down the rebellion, and at the same time, fight against the threat from Southeast Asia!"
Khrushchev looked at Motorov and said with a forced smile.
"Now Nanyang has delivered Jakarta to us. If Sukarta is very worried about Nanyang's invasion, in order to maintain his rule, he will definitely sign a friendship treaty with us. By then, the entire Indonesia will be ours, and we will There will be more rubber, cane sugar, and coffee!”
Is this a glutinous rice dumpling?
Of course not, because Sukaruo was really worried - the entanglement between Indonesia and Nanyang has never stopped, and the Soviet Union is Indonesia's only choice.
“Now, they are questioning our weakness!”
Motolov said.
"Our concession in Siam made everyone see our weakness, Nikita, weakness! How could they trust our protection when we failed to keep Bangkok?"
"Military base!"
Khrushchev said.
“This is exactly what I want to say, our passivity in the Siam incident is because we have no military base there and cannot protect Siam like the Americans protect the Philippines. This is the comrade in Bangkok. They are too confident. They confidently think that they can survive without the protection of the Soviet Union. Facts have proved that without the direct protection of the Soviet Union, they are destined to be destroyed! ”
As a person working from the grassroots level all the way! A professional bureaucrat who had climbed up from the ground up, Khrushchev knew exactly how to overcome the predicament at hand.
Just find a scapegoat to take the responsibility. Dead people can't speak anyway, so just put all the blame on the dead.
“We need to strengthen cooperation with brotherly countries. The demise of Siam has sounded the alarm to them - without the Soviet Union, they are nothing!”
Waving his arms vigorously , Khrushchev said. "So, we need to let Sukaruo understand this. Of course, he may not agree to our request immediately, but he will definitely agree in the end. By that time, our fleet will be stationed in the warm equator for the first time , entered the Indian Ocean for the first time, and Indonesia will also become a tropical crop plantation for the Soviet Union and the entire family!”
Khrushchev drew a hollow dumpling like this, It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. What matters is that he needs to do this and use Indonesia to make up for the mistake of losing Siam.
In fact, Khrushchev knew very well that the "Siam issue" was just an excuse for them to accuse themselves. When they took out the atomic bomb in Nanyang, they unanimously decided in the conference room that there was no need to fight for Siam and Nanyang. Throw atomic bombs at each other! The United States must not be allowed to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight - even Nanyang is not a tiger, at most it is a monkey.
Of course, the more important thing is that Nanyang is too far away and beyond our reach!
And this is also his reason and excuse to shirk responsibility.
“And from a certain perspective, the demise of Siam is a wake-up call to comrades, reminding them that they not only need the protection of the Soviet Union, but also the protection of the Soviet army. Only the existence of the Soviet army , can we truly protect them from the imperialists!"
Faced with Khrushchev's answer, Motolov was silent for a moment, and then said.
"Nikita, you know, I have always supported you, but you must understand that now in the eyes of everyone, our concession is weak."
Facing the challenge from Motolov Khrushchev would not believe even a single letter of "support", but he pretended to be moved.
Motolov looked directly at Khrushchev and reminded.
“Moreover, now the United States is negotiating with Siam. Siam will not only join the Treaty of Southeast Asia, but the US military will also set up a military base there.”
Moscow lost, Washington Got it.
This slap in the face hurts.
"So, I said from the beginning - Nanyang is just an agent launched by the United States. If we have a direct conflict with Nanyang on the Siam issue, it will undoubtedly play into the hands of the United States. This is extremely detrimental to us!"
Khrushchev waved his hand and said.
“That’s why we need to exercise restraint there, and the Siam incident has exposed many problems. Now we not only need to make up for those problems and avoid the recurrence of the Siam incident, but also...”
Looking directly at Motolov, Khrushchev knew very well that this guy represented some forces that opposed him. Now they were just taking the opportunity to attack, so they must give them a satisfactory answer, and must Let them see the results in the near future.
"We will respond, and we will respond in various places and in various ways, in Vietnam, on the peninsula, in Japan, in Jakarta, and in any other region, with various means and methods!"
Then, Khrushchev said in an passionate tone.
“Now, let the Americans be proud for a while. Didn’t they suffer a loss in Vietnam? Siam is just an episode in our confrontation with the capitalist world. The Americans cannot be prouder. God, what will be waiting for them next?”
Khrushchev slapped the table hard, as if he was in another world, banging the United Nations conference table with his leather shoes, excited. said.
"Destruction! It will be destruction, and we will definitely bury them! In the near future! We will completely bury the capitalist world."
The passionate words were just to cover up the pain of failure. Khrushchev knew this better than anyone. After Motolov left, he looked at the report in front of him that the United States would enter Siam, and his face looked extremely ugly. .
Finally, Khrushchev turned his attention to the report again. When he saw the report that Rama returned to Bangkok and was welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people on their knees,
consciousness Having completely lost Siam, he murmured to himself.
"Siam, it's just the beginning..."
