Chapter 1090: Seize their vital points (third update, please subscribe)
“I need him to agree to our army-the Soviet army stationed in Indonesia and establish our military base there!”
< br>Khrushchev’s voice echoed in the study, making Mikhailov slightly startled. He couldn’t help asking,
“Where to establish a military base? That is the back garden of Nanyang. . ”
As an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mikhailov certainly knows how "stingy" Nanyang is. Isn't this a case of coming to find trouble!
"I know that it is precisely because it is the back garden of Nanyang that we need to go there. Whether it is in Egypt or Hungary, the reason why Nanyang dares to confront us is because we are too far away from them. No one can threaten them unless they use missiles."
Taking a deep breath, Khrushchev said.
“Now we need to put our hands into Nanyang’s most deadly vital points and grab them hard. When necessary, pinching them hard is enough to cause them pain. Three days!”
Although the words were very vulgar, Khrushchev really experienced the feeling of being pinched. In Hungary, wasn’t the Soviet Union pinched?
The feeling of someone pinching your vitals is really a sour feeling!
So why revenge!
In other words, in order to be in a more advantageous position in future confrontations, he decided to put his hands into the vital points of Nanyang!
Of course, this is also to give an explanation to the hard-liners in Moscow - to tell them that his attitude towards Nanyang is still very tough.
“However, this is likely to arouse hostility on the other side of Nanyang. They are very sensitive.”
Mikhailov reminded tactfully.
"Now we are competing with the Western world for this world. Conflicts with them are inevitable. Of course, we will exercise restraint to a certain extent. So, I hope you can do the next thing after arriving in Jakarta. ..."
Then Khrushchev carefully explained to Mikhailov what he should do after arriving in Jakarta.
“…Of course at the beginning, that guy Sujano would definitely not agree. Let us enter there and set up a military base there, but it doesn’t matter, now he needs it more than ever Without our help, he will soon lose his rights."
During the past few months, Khrushchev has been paying attention to the situation in Jakarta, where. The situation is becoming increasingly volatile, and without support from the outside, he is likely to lose everything.
This is why Sukarno visited Moscow last year, just to win support from the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union provided a large amount of military assistance to Indonesia in the past few years, it only maintained its rule to a certain extent and did not fundamentally change the situation there.
"So he needs our help. He needs us to send troops there. He needs our military advisers to help him formulate combat plans. He needs our pilots to help him fly planes and bomb those rebels."
After a slight pause, Khrushchev continued.
“You must know that those rebels are supported by Nanyang. That guy Sujano must hope that we can help him fight against Nanyang more than anyone else.”
Don’t look at Helu Xiaofu is usually rough in his work, but he can still see Nanyang's weakness at a glance.
Jakarta is Nanyang’s biggest weakness.
"As long as we control Jakarta, the entire Southeast Asia will be under our threat. So, Comrade Mikhailov, your mission in Jakarta now is to ensure that more people can become our comrades in Southeast Asia."
At this time, for Khrushchev, who was bent on quelling the dissatisfaction of the hard-liners, he obviously forgot one thing - there are some red lines that cannot be touched.
But most of the time people are forgetful. After having an in-depth discussion with Mikhailov on the issue of Jakarta, Khrushchev once again walked to the map.
He stared at the huge world map with his eyes. It extends from Europe to Africa, to the Middle East, and finally to Southeast Asia.
His eyes were staring at Southeast Asia, at Nanyang, and at Jakarta, turning back and forth in that area. There he said to himself.
"Well, soon you will feel the anger from Moscow."
Having said this, Khrushchev took out a cigarette with some pride, lit it and took two hard puffs on the pair. What showed in his eyes was the joy of success.
Then, as if he had thought of something, Khrushchev walked to the desk again, picked up the phone, and said.
“Answer Korolev’s call for me.”
……
This is not the first time Korolev has come to Vosuvo. Since the successful launch of the first satellite, he has been here many times and stayed as a guest in the villa here. Braving the cool evening breeze, when the Seagull car arrived here, he soon entered a villa. Khrushchev received him in a large living room. After a few pleasantries, Khrushchev directly stated his thoughts.
“You will understand, Comrade Korolev, now we are facing unprecedented challenges. Americans and Nanyang people are all trying to launch spacecraft into space before us. If we let their If they succeed, they will say - look, it was us, the Western world, who conquered space first, so I want to know when we will be able to send our people into space. "
Ask! After saying these words, Khrushchev stared at Korolev. After learning that Nanyang and Britain had also joined the competition, he felt unprecedented pressure. This pressure came from...the pressure on himself of distrust. "Comrade Korolev, you have to know one thing - we must win this competition. Only in this way can people around the world know how powerful and advanced the Soviet Union is."
Once upon a time, before the launch of the artificial satellite, Khrushchev only had a certain propaganda awareness of this matter - he just felt that this matter was very awesome, but it had not yet risen to the level of national honor.
But when he saw the impact that the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite had on the Americans and the Soviet people's proud expressions, he understood that this would be a new track for the Soviet Union to win this competition.
And currently, the Soviet Union has a certain lead on this track. All this is because of the man in front of me, because of Korolev.
“Comrade, we have been working hard on this work, but you must understand that this is a very complicated work.”
Although I don’t know how to face the situation in front of me. This Khrushchev went to explain how complicated it was to launch a spacecraft to send people into space, but Korolev knew exactly what kind of answer he should give him.
“Our astronauts are currently undergoing extremely rigorous training. They are making final preparations to enter space, and our scientists are also working hard. They not only need to further improve our rockets, but also Develop the spacecraft and when we're done, that's when we'll put our astronauts into space,"
Korolev watched Khrushchev meet his gaze and continued.
“In order to achieve this goal, we still need to do a lot of preparation work, and this work requires a lot of time and money.”
In fact, what Korolev needs now is more Only by obtaining more funds can he continue this business.
“You can get more funds, but we must put our astronauts into space before the Americans.”
Khrushchev said straightforwardly.
"This is not just a competition between us and the Americans, but a competition between two civilizations! Do you understand?"
Of course Korolev understands this very well, and for the Soviet Union Importance, he thought for a moment and said.
"Judging from the intelligence we currently have, we and the Americans are at the same level. If all goes well, we will launch a spacecraft in the first half of next year, and the Americans will be at almost the same level. Time.”
This information was obtained by the KGB from the United States. As a scientist, Korolev only made this judgment based on the intelligence information provided by the KGB.
“We actually have to wait until next year.”
Khrushchev's brows furrowed, he lit a cigarette, and then walked and smoked the cigarette.
“Is there any way we can do it faster?”
Looking back at Korolev, Khrushchev asked in a tone full of expectation.
"Is there any way to send our astronauts into space when Revolution Day comes this year? This year is the 40th anniversary of the success of the revolution!"
Faced with the sudden request, Coro Liao Fu fell into silence, which was equivalent to a full 7 months in advance.
After all, according to the plan, they are to launch the spacecraft before June next year.
But what about now?
Khrushchev wants to advance all this to November. It is to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the victory of the revolution.
This... is simply unimaginable.
It can even be said to be unrealistic, but when faced with Khrushchev's request, Korolev, who knew how to deal with these leaders, did not refuse. He just remained silent for a while, and then said.
"I will do everything possible to launch as early as possible."
This is the biggest guarantee that Korolev can make. After all, science is science, and science will not be advanced by several months in a short period of time just because of political needs!
However, their wishes need to be fulfilled as soon as possible. After all, the significance of being a gift for the 40th anniversary celebration is far greater than anything else.
"Then, I hope you can do all this as much as possible. After all, when that day comes, all Soviet people will cheer because of this good news."
Heru Xiaofu's tone was very tactful, which was exactly the difference between him and Gang Gang. If he were replaced by Gang Gang, Gang Gang would only ask for the time. If he couldn't do that, he would change to another person.
Korolev nodded and said:
"Comrade Khrushchev, you may know our efforts in this area. We have spent not only millions, even tens of millions of rubles, but also We have put in a lot of sweat, so we will do our best.”
When he left the villa, Korolev’s expression was solemn. With furrowed brows, he just looked out the window at the quiet forest, with only one thought in his mind.
How can I win this competition?
