Encountering resistance, the iron rod sweeps. The resistance increases, and the iron rod is thickened. This is a Russian proverb, as is usually the case with the Soviet Union, the successor of Imperial Russia, which will also put the old proverb into practice when the ideals are not enough to convince the other side to agree with them. Of course, the intelligence system can't do this, at least not all the time, compared to the Ministry of Defense, which is also a powerful department, the KGB is very disciplined in this regard, after all, it does technical work.

At this time, the KGB was divided into two, or three parts to be exact, and KGB Chairman Shelepin, as one of the alternate members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, also attended the congress of the Communist Party and the Workers' Party of 81 countries in the venue. The Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Directorates, in coordination with the KGB, monitored the situation in and around the venue. Serov and Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, the head of the First General Directorate, began to do another thing, taking advantage of this east wind to cast a net around the world and fill all the blind spots in the KGB's foreign intelligence work, so that it can be said that the KGB's strongest force is in Europe, then the Middle East, again in East Asia, and beyond the Eurasian continent is North Africa, and as for the work in other regions, its influence is very limited.

"Those British, New Zealand, and Canadian parties, to be honest, have limited strength, and it is difficult to say whether the members of them are our comrades or not, and those Anglo-Saxons are not credible. If we use these parties to enter the host country, we may well send our comrades under the noses of the Americans. After communication, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky immediately rejected Serov's result of slapping his head.

"But this opportunity is too good to be missed because some parties are unreliable, especially the construction of intelligence networks in South America, even with the help of the Stasi, it will take a while, and we in the KGB cannot rely on the Stasi alone, and it is not our original intention to pin our hopes entirely on the GDR. People have to walk on two legs so that they don't lose their balance, and the KGB should also develop its own network to echo the Stasi, and now the work of the South American Division is not doing well. Of course, it was the Cuban side that was more successful! This is the pride of our intelligence work. Serov clearly affirmed the achievements of the First Directorate, but a Cuban could not satisfy the KGB's appetite.

Cuba alone is easily blocked, and in South America it is necessary to find a country with which Cuba can support each other, even if it is only one. South Africa is so many countries. Serov did not believe that none of them could succeed. Even if you wait for the opportunity, you can't use the existing forces in South America to wait, the forces are too weak to wait until there are really changes in favor of the Soviet Union, and it may be too late to reach out, that is the territory of the CIA, and the KGB does not have so many resources to fight hard with the Americans in South America.

"This congress seems like a lot, but we don't know how many parties are reliable!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky said, "In any case, the state party of the Anglo-Saxons can never be trusted. Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand cannot believe that our intelligence networks in these countries are not weak, and there is absolutely no need to contact these political parties. As for South America that can be considered for development, I am very much in favor of it! ”

"Starting next year, all major schools in the league will open more Spanish and Portuguese majors, expand the number of students to enter the KGB, and select orphans from orphanages across the country to study in the Latin agent city of Schipyana, as a reserve force to deal with South America. Even without a second Cuba, South America cannot be made a backup source of raw materials for the United States. Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky thought for a moment. We first reached out to our Cuban comrades, believing that they knew better than we knew which political parties in South America were more trustworthy. ”

"Agree, the raw materials of Latin America cannot be exploited by the United States at will, and if the Americans have to go to the Cold War, they can use their own resources to fight with us. We are not afraid of their ......" Serov immediately expressed his approval of the opinion of the head of the 1st General Directorate. The veteran spy boss is indeed more comprehensive than he thinks.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Latin America is very large, there is no shortage of soil for revolution, and the general public does not have a good impression of the Americans. In fact, the success of the Cuban revolution was nothing, after all, Castro could only be said to be a pro-socialist person. If the United States had shown its generosity a little, the Cuban Missile Crisis would not have happened at all, and the problem was that the socialist revolution had been spreading in a triumphant manner since World War II. The United States already had a preconceived fear of the word revolution, so the reaction after the Cuban Revolution was to overthrow it.

The problem is that it has not worked out yet, so that Castro will not throw himself into the arms of the USSR in order to protect himself, after all, he is the only country that can compete with the United States. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with human hope, and it is not hope that is wrong, but this dirty world. Why can't you honestly accept exploitation and be the master of your own country? Just like Serov, a pariah, it is the happiest to go to the battlefield to be a gray animal under the bath of the great tsar, and after dying in battle, he will be buried in the Caucasus or anywhere in China, and he will die for the expansion of imperial Russia, so why make a revolution? How good is Daddy to us......

Why did Cuba want a revolution? Are our American gangsters and corporations bad for you bastards? It's just that you slept with your daughter to sow seeds for mankind, took your money to build a country of hope for mankind, and didn't kill many of you, at least not all of you, so you should honestly accept the gift of the United States, right?

In the environment of confrontation in Europe, it is impossible for the KGB to make small moves, and Italy is a special case. It's just that after nearly a decade of calm after World War II, a lucky sneak attack will not be replicated a second time. Not to mention the fact that the KGB gave the green light to Italian products, and this treatment will not appear a second time. Even if a second Italy appeared, the USSR would not open its domestic market for blood transfusions for the other side.

Because the more imports, the greater the financial problems of the Soviet Union, unlike the general state tax to protect domestic enterprises. The Soviet government has always artificially lowered prices, wages can only rise, not fall, and prices can only fall but not rise. Even imported goods do the same, so what about foreign goods that are so expensive? Then pay the subsidy country to reduce the price, and the people of the Soviet Union must afford it, so unlike ordinary imports, the things imported by the Soviet Union not only do not help the state finances, but also lose money if they don't get it right, and the scope of subsidies involves a variety of products, on the contrary, many products with taxes are not imported much by the Soviet Union, because few people buy them.

The Italian problem will be put aside for a moment, and judging from the lessons of the United States and Italy, there is no better way for the Soviet Union to change even the slightest situation than to wait for an opportunity for the time being. It can't be said that there is no better way, or rather, there is no way at all. The enormous pressure of the confrontation between the two major European blocs has almost made it impossible for the KGB, the world's largest intelligence agency, to do almost any work related to the revolution except for stealing some civilian technology.

The suffocating confrontation in Europe and the pressure on the Soviet Union can hardly be described in words, and we can simply compare it with the confrontation between China and the Soviet Union when it broke up, the confrontation between the Soviet Union and China only used about one-fifth of its strength, and China was about to start the construction of the third front, and when it was ready to go to war, it threw the north and prepared to fight guerrillas. However, the Soviet Union gathered the vast majority of the country's strength, plus the confrontation between the Warsaw Pact countries and NATO, but could only gain the upper hand in land power. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and before the World Trade Center was destroyed, the United States only adopted a slightly strategy of engagement and containment, which made China unbearable at that time. Whenever I think of that time, China must thank Comrade Ladeng, the red spy king, for composing a loyal hymn with his own life......

Some believe that the Soviet Union was disintegrated purely because it was not good for the people, and that it was abandoned without external forces. First, the majority of the Soviet Union opposed disintegration, and second, the Soviets, although disappointed with the CPSU, still wanted to retain socialist public ownership. The first two points are actually not important, the important thing is that the United States led the entire capitalist camp to take the initiative to play the Cold War against the much weaker Soviet Union. It lasted for forty years, and it is simply the most powerful external force from ancient times to the present. The United States, which is not the most powerful after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but much weaker than during the Cold War, can also say such a thing about China in the nineties.

The humiliation of the Galaxy and the arrogance of the independent forces on the island were all endured. Isn't it because of lack of strength that I dare not speak out loud? But this humiliation is remembered in the hearts of every Chinese who knows the inside story.

If Serov is a person who has been subjugated from the heart by the powerful forces of the United States, or a guy who has used his power to sharpen his knife against state-owned property and is ready to become an oligarch, and accidentally blends into the Soviet system, he can be even more destructive than the historical Gotu map, and he can easily destroy the entire socialist country, the whole country. If the Soviet Union had disintegrated 10 years ahead of schedule, China that had just opened up would have completely lost its value, and the United States would have been able to lock China in for decades without going all its might, so that China, which was not strong in the 80s, could understand what was going on in the world after experiencing the tremendous pressure on the Soviet Union.

If his three views are not correct, he can completely lead all the socialist countries in the world into the ditch. is all, with no exceptions in one country. As a man of conscience, he had to persevere, all the more since the situation was nowhere near as bad as it was after the seventies. (To be continued.) )
