Chapter 462: Stasi in Sudan
This is the first time that Serov, on behalf of the KGB, has explained the importance of this issue to the Ministry of Defense, but he still did not reveal the idea that the KGB is preparing to launch a coup d'état. There's no need to just have an idea and want the world to know about it.
But this does not mean that only the KGB knows about this, at least Brezhnev and Sherepin both know that Serov is ready to make a move in Sudan, and Brezhnev also decided to support it after careful consideration, and he himself is more enthusiastic about practical operation than Khrushchev, it is better to have doctrine, and it is okay to do without doctrine. Since the chairman of the KGB dared to take the risk of plotting, it was not impossible for him to express his support for Shelepin.
The support from the Presidium of the Central Committee was already there, and in fact most of the committee members, except for Khrushchev, who was more cautious, would probably support it, because they were not the first secretaries, and the responsibility did not need to be borne by them. The butt decides the head, and when you sit in a different position, you think differently.
Seram, a major battalion commander in the Sudanese Army, is an Arab with a large farm in the countryside of North Khartoum, and his real identity is the head of the Sudanese Communist Group in North Khartoum, and he is full of affection for Soviet communism and believes that that is the spirit of saving Sudan. So when the Soviets found him, he did not hesitate to join in, and when he entered, he learned that this was an armed force that was not inferior to the regular army of Sudan, and even far exceeded the strength of the Sudanese army.
Now he has a telegram in his hand that has just come from Moscow, "Major Seram, it has been almost half a year since I returned to Sudan, from a personal point of view, our friendship has been sublimated by the passage of time, I believe you also understand the situation in Sudan, the civil war has had a great impact on this new country, and there is a stable social environment to end the war, Sudan has the foundation for development, this is not a problem that can be solved with the assistance of others, and the only person who really solves the Sudan problem is ...... yourself."
Major Salam understands what it means, the biggest problem in Sudan is the hostility between North and South Sudan, General Abd used the support of the military to forcibly promote the Arabic language and Arab culture in South Sudan, and the blacks in the south are of course fiercely resisting, this kind of low-intensity war in the eyes of the great powers has existed since independence, and it has reached the point where many people can't bear it, and even in the capital Kamur, there are opposition voices from time to time, This shows that some people in the military do not want this war to continue, which is not known when it will end.
This can also be explained by the knowledge that Major Salam learned from Moscow, the expectations of the people are different, according to his teacher of psychology, and it is known that the Sudanese military junta is promoting the great and unbreakable friendship between the Soviet Union and Sudan, and the explosive growth of food production in Sudan has brought back a steady stream of aid from the Soviet Union. But most of them are weapons, and most of the supplies have been used in the civil war in the south, and the Sudanese people are of course dissatisfied with this, and they want to stop the senseless war and the government can focus on improving people's lives.
Before returning to Sudan, Major Salam had the opportunity to listen to a lecture by the Chairman of the USSR State Security Council, which focused on the problems facing Sudan and the ideal vision of Sudan as a potential agricultural power. However, in the more than half a year since he returned to Sudan, Major Salam has only seen the Aboud government continue to fight a civil war with the south, which has been going on since he went to study in the Soviet Union, and it has not ended to this day, and it has lasted long enough.
Five days earlier, Major Seram had become the captain of the Sudanese Army's Army Aviation, a profession he had studied in Moscow, and he had seen the Soviet Union's powerful Army Aviation during his internship. Army aviation is a branch of the army that is equipped with helicopters and ******** to directly support ground forces in combat. It is an important part of the modern army, and its main tasks are to destroy tanks, armored vehicles and military facilities within a tactical range, implement air fire support, transport troops and military supplies, as well as conduct aerial reconnaissance and electronic warfare, etc. The formation and development of the army aviation has greatly enhanced the army's mobility and offensive firepower.
In fact, Major Seram did not choose the Soviet Army Aviation Academy as a school of study earlier, and in fact he did not know why he became a cadet, but this did not prevent him from realizing the great value of army aviation in the following time.
To this day, Major Seram considers his studies in Moscow to be very memorable, and he has seen what is expected to be in a truly powerful national army. Major Salam of the Mi-6 heavy transport helicopter has seen it at the military academy, and he also knows that this is not a real helicopter gunship, but there are weapons on it, right, everything has to start from little by little, who can guarantee that there will be no real helicopter gunships in Sudan in the future.
North Khartoum is just across the river from the Sudanese capital and is a military powerhouse around the capital, and the Mi-6 heavy transport helicopters, one of the Sudan's leading air forces, are also placed here to guard the capital. Across the river, it faces the capital Khartoum and Omdurman, forming the "three towns of the capital". There are the country's largest textile mills, shipbuilding, light machinery and automobile repair factories, as well as oil extraction, brewing, food industry, etc. The highway leads to Khartoum, Port Sudan and other places.
North Khartoum also has the only army aviation brigade in the Sudan at present, and Major Salam has just taken up his post as commander of the unit, and today he welcomed a number of technicians who are responsible for the maintenance and training of Mi-6 heavy transport helicopters. Major Seram was surprised that these men turned out to be Germans.
"Major Seram? I have learned Arabic, and the Soviet side asked us in the GDR to help Sudan maintain these helicopters, because the Soviet side is now relatively short of professional mechanics, I hope you understand this, but it is the same with us, the mechanical problems are all the same, and there is no gap between our German maintenance personnel and the Soviet Union. By the way, my name is Heisenberg, and I am the leader of the mechanic team that assisted Sudan, so you can contact me directly if you have any questions. Heisenberg introduced himself without humility or arrogance after meeting Major Selam.
Heisenberg himself was no lower in rank than Major Seram, he was the head of the logistics department of the GDR border guards, and was selected by Markus Wolf to come to Sudan to be responsible for the maintenance of these helicopters, of course, it is also related to the fact that Heisenberg had studied Arabic before World War II, anyway, he came, and he came with a purpose.
"Hello, Mr. Heisenberg, as you said, you are here the same!" Major Seram immediately changed to an enthusiastic look, although he did not know why it was not the Soviets, but the Germans who came to his aid.
"Yes, it's the same, we're also very professional!" Heisenberg replied with a pun, and let the two dozen maintenance personnel behind him enter the army aviation base, these people can stand up for helicopter gunships, and they are reliable fighters specially selected by Stasi, and there is absolutely no possibility of mutiny.
Serov, on behalf of the KGB, agreed with Stasi that once the coup was successful, the GDR would get the benefits it deserved, the Soviet Union did not lack iron ore, nor was it interested in general resources, and more valued rare minerals, but the GDR was very lacking, Serov and Stasi agreed that once the coup d'état in Sudan was successful, the industrial sector of the GDR would not be restricted from exploiting iron ore in Sudan.
Gabe's oolitic iron deposit is definitely the largest of the iron deposits ever discovered in Sudan. The ore body is named after Ed? Deba is the starting point and extends 150 kilometers in a north-south direction. In fact, it was the cornerstone of the steel industry in later Sudanese. It is similar to other ore bodies in terms of geological structure, field characteristics, occurrence state, sedimentary precipitation environment and paleoecological state. During the Upper Mesozoic era, the ore was moved from the northern Halifa valley to Baglavia via Elgab as a result of the ancient Mediterranean sea. and from the east and west of Khartoum, to Al Furah in the west.
"The plan for military operations has been decided, and we have no objection to this point with the Stasi, and in terms of plan, our two departments are much the same, and communication is not difficult. Now the question is how to get started? When did I start thinking that at some point during General Aboud's visit, the forces that incited Sudan against the civil war would hold a protest, and the protests must have a considerable impact all around the Sudanese capital! Serov and the relevant KGB cadres involved in the coup d'état explained, "so that we can see the tendencies of the various forces in this situation, and then give different focused blows!" ”
"Do you want to eat one bite at a time, and purge the pro-Western forces in stages? But is there a risk? How can we be sure that the Sultan will fall into our hands in the end? The Director of the British Africa Division raised his own questions.
"In Africa, the army is the sky! If the people of Sudan have some problems with this, then let the Sudanese military solve the problematic people! "If Aboud agrees to step down, we will use the existing forces to create the illusion of a military counterattack, and after creating chaos in the chaos, we will raise the banner of pro-Soviet after stabilization, and I believe that there will be no opponents at that time." ”
Well! The KGB cadres who attended the meeting nodded their heads, feeling that the chairman's words were very reasonable, and that the intelligence should be focused on finding out who was dissatisfied with General Aboud. (To be continued.) )
