Chapter 685: The Carnation Revolution

"Did GLONASS launch successfully?" Serov took the telegram with doubts, something was wrong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info GLONASS The first satellite was indeed launched in the past few days, but Morikin is the head of the First General Bureau, and he shouldn't report to him.

"Is there a precarious situation with Portuguese troops in Africa?" Reading the above information, Serov muttered to himself with a twitch of eyebrows.

"Yes, our foreign team in Lisbon has also received some unusual news, it seems that some kind of movement is brewing." General Morikin, the head of the First General Directorate, said in a low voice, "We have some guesses, but we can't be sure that it is not as predicted, and if it is, it is definitely great news for us." ”

"Whether it's true or not, it doesn't delay our plans. No one could stop us, first send the information to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they were caught off guard. After reading it, Serov instructed, "Tell Zinev that the African command post in Khartoum will be completed immediately, and time is running out, understand?" ”

General Morikin immediately left the office, and Serov was left alone in the whole office, if the photo of Dzerzhinsky behind him is counted, then there are two. Portugal will change soon, but the Soviet Union can't use it, the Salazar who is side by side with Franco, put all the Central Committee members of the Portuguese Communist Party in prison, and the sentences of these Central Committee members add up to more than 300 years, in other words, the Soviet Union can't use the Portuguese Communist Party to help itself, and has to wait for the Carnation Revolution to break out, which is a matter for the Soviet Foreign Ministry.

The rest of the world seems to be calmer than the flames of Southeast Asia, with Soviet-laid cables reaching Cairo and Damascus, which will spread to the Middle East and North Africa in the future. There are only a few population centers in the world, and even fewer are valuable, most of which are concentrated in Eurasia. Whoever controls Eurasia is the number one power in the world, and the offensive strategy of the USSR is correct.

However, it is not easy to achieve the goal by using military force alone, and Serov is ready to use another method. On the Internet, the Soviet Union and the United States were in no particular order, but the United States was the first in history to complete domestic use. In 1974, the signs were not yet obvious, the Americans did not know the enormous power of this thing, and the Soviet Union did not know, only Serov led the KGB to advance at any cost with a security order.

To put it simply, it is to use two things, one is mobile phone communication, and the other is computer network, to control the sources of information received by backward countries, and to preconceive the third world to accept information from the Soviet Union. If you form a habit, you will take out the traditional hegemony of American public opinion.

Later, Xi received the support of almost all the traditional media, overwhelmingly building momentum for himself, creating a royal appearance, but in the end he lost the election and lost to Chairman Chuan. It's because white Americans don't eat this on social media, what kind of special political correctness, a group of things that take care of old blacks, old inks, and pacifists, and white people finally educate the Democratic Party with their votes.

Serov believed that the political structure of the Soviet Union did not dare to say that it was necessarily stronger than that of the United States, but there was definitely a comparison. The ineffective promotion has a lot to do with the hegemony of public opinion in Europe and the United States. The difference between the Internet and the original media and newspapers is that on the Internet, ordinary people can discuss with each other, not the original media, and you can only accept what the media says.

The geography of the USSR, if it itself was weak, was an absolute disaster, and the enemy could come in from all sides. But if the Soviet Union itself is strong, this is a very suitable environment for attacking, and the Soviet Union can get all the hot spots in the world. The Soviet Union maintained good relations in the Arab region of the Middle East and North Africa, India was the leader of the Soviet Union, China and the Soviet Union were cold but also nominal allies, and if Southeast Asia and Africa were making progress, the Soviet Union's influence on the world's population and resources would surpass that of the United States, and this was still the calculation of the entire Americas as the power of the United States.

This change is decisive, as long as the Soviet Union has seventy percent of the strength of the United States, it can rely on its geographical superiority to compete with the United States in the world, not to mention that the current Soviet Union is even stronger than in history.

The laying of the GLONASS satellite and submarine fiber optic cable is a preparation in this regard, this time not only weakening the authority of US public opinion, but also suppressing the other side, and when the Soviet Union has established an Internet and communication base for the majority of the world's population, the world will change, and the Soviet Union has succeeded in Afghanistan at present. Because the Middle East is not far away, the fiber optic cable has also been laid, and it will take longer for the surrounding areas of India and Indonesia. These projects cost the KGB a lot of intelligence money, but it was definitely worth it.

"Going to visit? The Middle East, can't you go to another person? Serov, who had Valya in his arms, was very reluctant, the security in the Middle East was not very good, and if he visited Europe, he could support it.

"Didn't you lay the submarine cable? They felt it was easier for me to do the job. Valya, who was sitting on her husband's lap, put her arms around her husband's neck and shook constantly, and suddenly lowered her head and kissed the man's forehead and said, "Comrade Catherine wants to nominate me as Minister of Education, what do you think?" ”

Catherine? Valya is definitely not talking about herself, Serov's head is not stupid, knowing that his wife is talking about Minister of Culture Fortseva, the most powerful woman in the Soviet Union during the Khrushchev period, is now just an ordinary department cadre, living up to the power of the Presidium of the Central Committee back then, but as an old qualified member of the Central Committee, no one dares to say that she has no energy, especially this woman has a very good personal relationship with many Ukrainian cadres.

Ukraine's position in the USSR, arguably second only to Russia, is not even worse politically than Russia. Ukrainian was the official language of the Soviet Union, not a local language, and it would not be difficult if Ukrainians supported it.

"With your relationship with Fortseva, does this feel like a king?" Serov looked at his wife and said cautiously that when Valya worked in the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, she was the confidential secretary of the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, Fortseva.

"Do you say yes or don't? If you don't speak, you will be considered to support me. Valya straightened her chest, and the two very oppressive balls on her chest were pressed against her man's face, looking at her husband from God's point of view condescendingly.

Your Majesty, you made me feel a lot of pressure like this, and Serov, who was under a sense of oppression, nodded busily, and the proposal was not put forward by him, so it was a big deal that he did not attend the meeting of the Central Presidium Committee.

Valya's visit to the Middle East is related to the strategy of the Soviet Union, and this use of communications and computer networks to promote and expand influence is the attention of him, the General Political Commissar, and in this sense, Her Majesty Catherine III's visit abroad is indeed helping him, and he really cannot object.

On the day of the visit, Serov, dressed in a military coat, took a car to the airport to see off his wife, and the question of why he didn't drive was said many times that he would drive a tank, because tanks were not afraid of collisions. When I actually drive a car, I have a phobia, so I never learned it.

As the airport of the capital of a superpower, Moscow Airport was busy, and wearing the most recognizable blue hat in the Soviet Union, Serov followed behind Valya, constantly keeping an eye on the precautions. caused frequent sideways glances from the crowd of people passing by, but immediately left, and the joke that the General Political Commissar was afraid of his wife spread throughout the Soviet Union, and everyone knew what was going on.

The reverse is almost the same, usually women send their men to the battlefield, and it is relatively rare for him to do the opposite, which is why he always receives attention. Recently, I have become myself again, do you want to take Yelena back, anyway, Valya is not at home, Valya's last stop is China, and she will transfer from there to Irkutsk back to the Soviet Union.

"Don't worry, father, we'll take care of Mother." A group of KGB-arranged security personnel stood nearby, and a young ensign whispered comfort.

"Of course I don't worry, I've already said hello to the Ministries of the Interior of those countries." Serov, the number one receiver in the Soviet Union, felt a little painful when he heard the word father, and even more painful when he thought that he still had sixty or seventy thousand children who had not met. "Take care of your mother, I don't have to worry about it."

After more than ten minutes, Serov, who was standing on the tower, watched the plane take off, looked at the wind direction tester running to the side, and asked with a cold face, "Our pilot, can't you think about the conditions, it was obviously a crosswind just now." Then he took the walkie-talkie and shouted to the crew, "You pay attention to safety for me, you are not allowed to drink alcohol on this trip......"

For Lisbon, the country is as calm as ever, as it has been for more than three decades, and the Portuguese have become accustomed to this life, completely forgetting that Salazar, who founded it, has been dead for four years.

On this very day, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared on the streets of Lisbon, and unlike usual, these soldiers were carrying guns and bunches of red carnations on their bodies. The soldiers chanted slogans demanding that Cardano step down. Three-quarters of Portugal's army was fighting in the colonies, and there were not many troops on its own. It was these small troops who quickly took control of the capital, and in the process the citizens of Lisbon joined in, protesting under the protection of the army, demanding an end to the 40-year fascist system.

The coup soldiers soon took control of the country, and a large number of imprisoned Portuguese communists were released. Darth Neves? Alves? Cardano was exiled to Madeira, and a new government was formed in an instant, and the rapid development surprised everyone, including the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) )
