Chapter 609: Target Iraq

Kurdish leader Mustafa Barzani, and Abdullah Rahman, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Iraq. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although he has been away from this place for many years, Serov clearly remembers the day he woke up here, and even where the Soviet flag was, and at that time he swore to the sickle and hammer flag that he would plant the red flag all over the world.

Fifteen years have passed in a flash, and he has changed from the first secretary of the Azerbaijan Communist Youth League to a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, the General Political Commissar for National Security, and the Chairman of the National Security Committee. But Serov knows that his goal remains the same, defeating the United States and planting red flags all over the world, which is the value of his survival.

People always have to be idealistic, and when their survival is threatened, it is nothing to define the goal as having enough to eat. But the problem of food and clothing has been solved, and even the problem of life has been solved, so there should always be a bit of pursuit. Set a goal today, and complete it tomorrow, that is not called an ideal, the ideal should always be a little difficult.

The first secretary of Azerbaijan, Kochemasov, greeted Serov, and the two entered the party committee building in Baku with a lot of laughter, this building Serov is very familiar with, part of which is his original office location, the Communist Youth League and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now he can remember where his house in Baku was, as well as Valya's dormitory, when he drank too much for the first time and peeked at Valya taking a bath, these memories are still fresh.

"How does it feel to be back here, isn't it a little exciting?" Kochemasov didn't know that Serov was thinking about these things, and thought that he was sighing when he returned to his birthplace, and he was actually right, Serov was actually sighing, when he first saw Valya taking a bath, when he thought about it carefully, the feeling of hard bang seemed to come back.

"It's inevitable that I was born here." It was for this reason, coupled with the fact that he had been raised by Marshal Bagram Miyan for several years, that Mikoyan had a wrong judgment.

First of all, of course, you have to eat first, the caviar of the Caspian Sea, I liked to eat it very much at that time, and the caviar production in the Soviet Union was not much, about 90% of the world, and the production area was the Caspian Sea. Although there is still Iran in the Caspian Sea, under the prestige of the Caspian detachment, the Iranians have almost only the right to bathe. It is simply impossible to snatch aquatic products from the Soviet Union.

On such occasions, Serov entered the public cafeteria to eat as before, which was a normal act, and since he could do this before, there was no reason why he could not do this now as a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and it was not unsafe.

During the meal, Serov has always been very serious, so serious that he shielded the surrounding environment, ignored the quiet atmosphere around him, chatted with Kochemasov about a match, and asked about the situation here very easily.

In the evening, Serov told him the purpose of coming to Baku, and Kochemasov nodded and said, "I met this man when he was in exile here, and even arranged for him to study at the party school in Moscow, but I feel that he did not learn anything." I'll help you arrange a hidden meeting place. ”

Serov nodded and said, "This is also very normal, for a leader of a nation like him, all ideals are not as important as leading his own nation's independence, whether it is us or the United States, they are just the objects of his use, but we can't do the move to split Iraq, this is very dangerous, when he comes, I will focus on this issue." As for the defense, leave it to Chairman Aliyev. ”

In fact, the fighting between the Kurds and the Iraqi junta has been going on for several years, and Barzani has managed to defeat the pro-government forces and consolidate his position as the leader of the Kurds. In response, Mustafa Barzani ordered his troops to occupy all Kurdish areas and expel government officials there. And in order to restore government control over the region, Qasim began preparations for a military offensive in the north. The Kurds then issued a detailed ultimatum to Qasim, explaining the Kurds' displeasure and demanding that Qasim rectify the situation.

Qasim ignored the Kurdish demands and continued his planned war. A group of Kurds ambushed an Iraqi army, and the Kurdish rebellion officially broke out. In response to the attack, Qasim ordered the Iraqi Air Force to bomb Kurdish villages, which by Barzani's standards essentially covered the entire Kurdish population. Due to Qasim's distrust of the Iraqi army, he did not arm the fighting forces well, so the Qasim government was simply unable to suppress the rebellion. This stalemate angered the powerful factions in the army, which eventually led to their own deaths.

At this time, the Iraqi military junta did not have a dictator, and there was no military strongman like Pinochek in Chile, but in fact, there were some shadows of the Argentine military junta, that is, a group of generals formed an organization to deal with the Kurds in the north and the surrounding Shiites, Sunnis, and Baath forces. Of course, sometimes they also knock on the Iraqi Communist Party that is playing dead to see if the Iraqi Communist Party is playing dead again.

Of course, the Iraqi Communist Party is playing dead, and as for whether it is really dead, the generals in Baghdad will definitely know within a year that Serov wants to contact the Kurds in the north and the Iraqi Communist Party in Basra to lay the foundations of Iraq in one fell swoop, and this is the purpose of this time in Baku.

Mustafa came, he didn't really have a good impression of the Soviet Union, in his opinion the Soviet Union was a potential supporter of Kurdish independence, just like Serov said, if the Soviet Union did not support him, he would go to the United States. In his eyes, nothing is more important than Kurdish independence.

He lived in exile in the Soviet Union for a long time, but he just didn't have a good impression of the Soviet Union, mainly because of the general secretary Stalin, you must know that Stalin was relatively ruthless in his methods towards any nation. Whether Russians, Ukrainians or Kazakhs, whenever there is a tendency to break away from the framework, the general secretary will let you know what means of steel are. In this case, the Kurds living in exile on the territory of the USSR naturally did not have much good fruit to eat.

Serov was able to contact him mainly because of Khrushchev's work, who reunited his supporters after coming to power and sent them back to Iraq, otherwise Mustafa might have thought that Serov would kill him.

"Hello, General Mustafa, it is very admirable for your great victory in northern Iraq." Seeing the early Kurdish leader, Serov was delighted to give him a hug.

"That's the Kurdish place, part of Kurdistan." General Mustafa corrected unhurriedly.

"Yes, but he is indeed part of Iraq now, and with the current international situation, it seems that it is difficult to change. It's a great victory that you can claim the right to self-government. Serov reminded the other party unmoved, pay attention to what place this is, and at the same time did not say anything, "Iraq is not an enemy of the Soviet Union, but there is one country that is indeed our feud, and it is also a feud of your Kurds." ”

Turkey? General Mustafa's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that he and the Soviets suddenly seemed to have a common language.

"You must know that Kurdistan, in fact, most of it is in Turkey, and it is too risky for us to be hostile to several countries in the Soviet Union, but if it is just to make trouble for Turkey, it is not a big deal." Serov muttered to himself and said, "General Mustafa, can we talk now?" ”

"Of course, I always told my people that the Soviets were our friends." General Mustafa looked clear and spoke as if it were true.

Kurdistan in the broad sense is located in northern Western Asia, roughly from the upper reaches of the Euphrates, Tigris and Arras rivers to Hamadan in Iran, and includes southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq and several parts of western Iran, as well as small parts of Syria and Armenia. With an area of about 400,000 square kilometers, the Kurds are scattered in countries such as Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Of these 400,000 square kilometers, 300,000 are actually in Turkey.

Serov and Mustafa are both using each other, although they have their own agendas, but the two of them have a common purpose, Serov promised that the new Iraqi government would give the Kurds autonomy, but at the same time said that the Kurds must form a communist party, which cannot be divided politically, but guaranteed that the Kurds are treated equally.

Two days later, Abdullah Rahman, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Iraq, also secretly came to Baku, and Serov met with the two at the same time, "The chaos in Iraq is worrying, and at the same time we are very sympathetic to the Iraqi Communist Party and the Kurds, so we decided that it is time for Iraq to return to calm." I hope that the Iraqi Communist Party and the Kurds will unite to overthrow the current military government and give Iraqis a peaceful life. ”

"Once the operation begins, the Soviet Union will give its full support, but I hope that the two sides can unite and that here, Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, can sign an agreement that will become a joint statement and guarantee joint operations." Serov looked at General Mustafa and Abdullah Rahman.

"I need to discuss it with the members in China!" Abdullah Rahman obtained Serov's consent to use the radio to get in touch with the country, and after a few days, the two sides finally reached the terms of the alliance. Serov was relieved and began to make preparations for contacting Ustinov for the supply of armaments, and for the Albanian Shehu to provide atheist cadres, and so on. (To be continued.) )
