Chapter 230: Carrying a Heavy Responsibility

Risk-sharing, when one thing is too risky, there is no guarantee of the expected results. Doing another thing at the same time, if success can guarantee good or bad results, it is also easier for people to accept. Of course, there is also the risk of losing both at the same time, but given Serov's opponent, India, the risk is well worth it.

At present, both China and the Soviet Union have a certain amount of mustard in their hearts, and it is impossible for one side to tolerate it, and the leaders of the first generation on the Chinese side are all personalities who would rather bend than bend, and on the contrary, the Soviet Union is strong and has no reason to make concessions. If the Cuban Missile Crisis breaks out, China will certainly take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to solve the problem in the southwest. If the Soviet Union is at a disadvantage during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Serov will use this incident to dilute the impact of the defeat suffered by the Soviet Union, and of course the consequences will be more serious, after all, the Soviet Union is now maintaining an alliance with China, and at the same time has made good progress on the Indian side, but at that time it will have to face the choice of choosing a side.

With Serov's objective and neutral view, it is natural that whoever wins is an ally of the Soviet Union, and there is nothing to say about this matter, but there are too many things to consider as a leader, such as ******** and how to deal with their allies who are not very peaceful, and so on.

At present, on the KGB side, Serov is making some preliminary preparations, since the logistics are not good, the Soviet Union will prepare the necessary materials in advance, China has no way to supply the rugged mountains, it doesn't matter, the Soviet Union's air power is not too difficult to deal with tens of thousands of people to support, even if only one soldier enters the disputed area, Serov will order the guide to lead him to the place to occupy.

At this moment of great decision-making. Serov had to prevent the USSR from making mistakes in his own power, and if he had to sacrifice a country, in terms of personal feelings and the international socialist movement, then let India die.

Of course, now at the moment when things are not yet fermenting, preparations in this direction must be kept strictly secret, and the Internal Guard and Border Guards as an integral part of the Soviet Armed Forces. There should be no problem with regular airborne training with the same treatment as the Red Army, but it is just a normal thing that cannot be normal.

Serov felt that he still had a very long way to go to be a qualified-stirrger, and if he could be given the freedom to choose, he would have liked to go to England to graduate and then return to the KGB to perform his duties.

Since he became the first deputy chairman of the KGB, there are not many advantages, but the disadvantages are that he has more and more things to worry about, and he receives information all over the world every second. Only God knows whether the information provided by the agents will be useful or useless until this information is analyzed, but given the possibility that the autonomy of the agents abroad is too great, Serov has already issued a sternly worded report a month ago, when he took over as the first deputy chairman of the KGB, telling the KGB agents abroad not to report meaningless things at home.

"Don't think that you can fool the organization at will while overseas, everyone in the Action Enforcement Department has a legal identity overseas, and they may be right next to you!" Serov doesn't know whether this threat is useful or not, but I believe that anyone with a little common sense will understand the meaning. There is a price to be paid for cheating organizations.

As written in a report by the Middle East Division, in the report on the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq. The two sides of the clashes fired rockets and grenades at each other and opened fire, killing four Shiite militiamen and two Kurdish fighters. A local child who was playing nearby at the time of the incident was killed in an exchange of fire between the two sides.

After the outbreak of the conflict, the municipality of Tuzhurmatu declared martial law in the city. The city of Tuzhurmatu is a multi-ethnic area with Arabs, Kurds and Turkmens. Ethnic and sectarian conflicts are serious, and terrorist attacks and small-scale armed clashes occur from time to time.

Only seven people died, and by the standards of the Soviet Red Army, not even a battle, this report was handed in with embarrassment. Of course, this report was only seen by Serov when he was bored, and usually this kind of information would not be sent to him, but Serov still took this report and asked the director of the Middle East Department, "What is the value of this kind of intelligence, do you mean that we in the Soviet Union will organize the Red Cross to go to the rescue?" ”

In the end, of course, nothing came of it. As the first deputy chairman of the KGB, Serov issued an order to expand the rights of subordinate departments in identifying information, so that meaningless information would not have to be handed over to the presidium of the KGB, and the subordinate departments could handle it at their own discretion.

According to Serov's plan, the situation on the Iraqi side should be in a state of immobility and immobility, and as long as the United States does not jump into a pit called Vietnam for a day, the Soviet Union would rather sell weapons at a loss than support the two sides of the Iraqi civil war to continue to fight to the death; of course, this is not all done by the Soviet Union itself, Syria supports the Shiite forces, while Egypt supports the Sunni forces, and what is more embarrassing is that at this time in 1960, Syria and Egypt were actually one country, and they were both part of the United Arab Republic.

If Serov had been told about this speechless situation, he might not have believed it, but in the case of the fact, he could only sigh that reality is often more fantastical than fiction. Who would have thought that different parts of a country would have very different positions in a war, it would seem that the split of Egypt and Syria was a matter of time.

As for how many people will die in Iraq because of this civil war, as a bystander, Serov will not have a burden in his heart, as a member of the country that has risen from the sea of blood, he is very understanding and has chosen a path that is more valuable than the votes for the Iraqi people, who will be supported, who is the force that can really lead Iraq to the future, it is very simple, whoever wins is this choice, and there is no vote that can let the people know more than a full-scale war, The truest choice in their hearts is who it is.

At present, in addition to the Kurds who are in their own right, there are the diluted Arab Social Baath Party and the military in Iraq, as well as the forces of the two major sects, plus the forces of the Iraqi Communist Party. So after collecting information on the Soviet Union, China, Korea, Vietnam, and even the Spanish Civil War, he decided to settle down on a strategy of keeping the Communists nominally not going to war, but to raise the flag for the Arab Social Baath Party.

At this time, Serov was packing his things and preparing to go abroad, but unlike last time, this time he was going to go to Sudan with his wife, according to the order of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, as he had a good personal relationship with General Aboud, this time he would bring several departments under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union to visit Sudan in a very official capacity, and earlier the Soviet Union had responded to the request of the Sudanese side to evaluate the request for assistance from the Sudanese side, and this time Serov was both an inspection and an assessment.

It cannot be said that the purpose of observing the developments of the Sudanese side over the past few years, of course, in the heart of the other generals at the same time to see who is more suitable to become an agent of the Soviet Union, preferably socialism.

Leaving Moscow, handing over the work of monitoring the congresses of the Communist Party and the Workers' Party of 81 to the General Directorate of Internal Espionage, and bringing in Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky of the General Directorate of Foreign Intelligence, Serov left Moscow in a hurry, and took Valya to a special performance in the cold winter to avoid the severe low temperatures of the Soviet season.

On the way to Sudan, Serov also stopped at the Aswan military base for a while to learn about the specific situation in Sudan.

Khartoum, where the Blue Nile and the White Nile meet, is geographically very similar to Wuhan, China, and has a climate that is comparable to that of other countries, and if the country's development is good, it is definitely a good place to sell air conditioners. General Ibrahim Abboud's family lived on the Blue Nile, and to Serov's surprise, General Aboud did not choose the former prime minister's chancellery, which was the Governor's Mansion of the British Sultan, as his official residence, but built a new official residence on the site of his old home.

It's the rainy season in Sudan, and when the Serovs entered Khartoum with the Sudanese delegation, it was drizzling in the Sudanese capital, and the air was filled with water molecules. At this time, Serov wanted to recite a poem, ah, it was the season of mating on the steppe again......

"It's so humid here!" Valya couldn't understand General Ibrahim Abboud's painstaking efforts, and she didn't feel the heat at all, because it was relatively close to the river, and when she breathed, she felt her nasal cavity as if she was soaking in water, which was very uncomfortable. Accustomed to the cold climate, Valya, like her husband coming to Sudan for the first time, showed serious discomfort.

Khartoum is still changing, and the security in the Sudanese capital is significantly better than the last time it was here, which may be one of the few advantages of the junta.

"General Serov, I haven't seen you for a few years, it seems that the general's life in the USSR is quite comfortable, is this your wife? What a beautiful lady, even at first glance it is unforgettable! As soon as the two sides met, the head of the Sudanese military junta, General Aboud, gave Serov a friendly hug, making others look like old friends. (To be continued.) )
