Serov was busy and busy on vacation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter Indonesia joined the Soviet camp, the vast number of Soviet people had a real place to vacation, that is, the Southeast Asian country Indonesia, although Southeast Asia was at war, but Indonesia was indeed in a rare state of stability, so it is not appropriate, because of the New Guinea issue, the relationship between Indonesia and Australia deteriorated sharply, and the question of the ownership of New Guinea broke out in the fifties.

The Australian Government is extremely concerned about the question of New Guinea, and its basic policy is to use security as a reason not to want Indonesia to take it back, but to want the Netherlands to remain in New Guinea. Australia therefore actively resists Indonesia's claim to sovereignty over New Guinea at the United Nations and supports the Netherlands in retaining its rule over New Guinea.

The issue of New Guinea had just ended, and Australia then supported Malaysia politically. When Sukarno sent troops to invade Malaysia, Australia also sent Chen troops to be stationed on the Malaysian border between Sabah and Sarawak to confront the Indonesian army. All of this itself should have ended with Suharto's rise to power. But isn't this Indonesian strongman dead, so the confrontation between Australia and Indonesia not only did not disappear, but because the relationship between Indonesia and the Soviet Union became better and better, it became worse, and now the Australian army is still occupying East Timor to prevent the Indonesian army from entering.

Although the two countries have not started a war, they both regard each other as imaginary enemies, and Australia's military spending has increased every year, but since last year, it has become somewhat unsustainable as world mineral prices have fallen.

However, although Indonesia is facing off from Malaysia and Australia on both sides, the environment is relatively stable. The whole country has always been wary of the infiltration of Western powers, wary of people, including Australia, and on the contrary, very friendly with Eastern European countries, and has now become the preferred vacation destination for Warsaw Pact countries. Cruise ships from Warsaw Pact countries carry tourists to Indonesia to enjoy the tropical scenery, leaving many stressful retreats in Warsaw Pact countries idle.

This is the case around the Black Sea, and the same is true of Lake Baikal, another place for vacation, and it is very beneficial for these facilities to be idle, at least many cadres do not have to worry about the impact of competing with ordinary people for facilities. Serov took a vacation here. There is another reason for choosing this place, that is, because Irkutsk in the north of Lake Baikal is the power center of the KGB in Asia, where he can also know what is happening in Lubyanka, and with Mongolia as a buffer, it can buy time for a country's army to go north, and from the perspective of security, Irkutsk is the most suitable.

"What's wrong? What's the news on the Rubyanka? Alexei next to him asked very comfortably, "It's good now, I used to want to soak in the hot springs here, and I still need to queue up. ”

"Who makes there less hot springs, you can make do with it, our country itself lacks hot springs, and there is no way to queue up." Serov snorted and said, "I'm on vacation, but you're not, you went to Vladivostok to inspect, and as a result, you stayed here for two days to soak in the hot springs, so you weren't afraid of the news leaking?" ”

"You have worked hard to build the KGB organization in Irkutsk, not to deal with the Chinese threat, but to create a second Lubyanka, many KGB cadres have rushed here to serve, these people are all selected by you, only Zinev and Tsvigon will think that you are just here for vacation, I don't know you yet? Mongolia can be called a threat if you want to. You said that's all the way, will I believe that the news has leaked? Alexei shrugged, "I'm passing by here to see what you're up to." ”

"Whatever you do, it's to build a backup facility." Serov reached behind for his clothes, took out a box of Cuban cigars, lit it, pushed the cigars and kerosene lighter to Alexei and said, "Smoke, the Americans can't smoke if they want, we have covered the entire production of Cuban cigars." ”

"That's a fart, the channel for Cuban cigars to smuggle to the United States, that is, your Latin American Bureau is in charge, who are you fooling? The price has increased tenfold, and you really dare. Alexei put away his cigarette, but he didn't appreciate it.

"I've multiplied a hundredfold and someone buys it! Addiction to cigarettes is just as hard to control as alcohol, and you know this best, you have both. Serov's face flushed, and he was rarely embarrassed. He forgot that the other party was the boss of the GRU, and he was clear about his small actions, but he would not forget to bury the other party by the way.

The two old men soaked in the hot springs together, but there was no passionate scene. In fact, he was very annoyed that Alex had to stay here for two days, considering that he had been soaking with Valya for the other day, wouldn't that be a good situation. By the way, a scientific study was also conducted on the buoyancy and shape of the big chest on the surface of the water.

"Several vice-chairmen are working on how to attack the Congo, but this year's weather in Africa has saved the Congo's life. Let's start with Thailand, where the environment is favorable. Serov finished a few sentences with the other party, and then talked about the topic, which seemed to be quite good.

"Well, it is true that the green desert is a difficulty that the Sultan cannot overcome. The extension of the rainy season has a great impact on the offensive, we are not gods after all, and we must take into account the constraints of the environment. Alexey nodded in agreement. Green desert is another name for tropical rainforests, two of the largest in the world, one in Brazil and the other in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. If the mechanized army built up by the Soviet model plunges headlong, it is really not certain whether it can come out again.

"yes, so I'll have to wait a year." Serov said helplessly, no matter how hard Brazil in later generations develops, it will not be able to become a world power, and you can't say that they don't work hard. One of the huge reasons is that Brazil's land is cut by huge rainforests, and the land area looks large, but in fact it is isolated and fragmented by tropical rainforests, and it does not form a large-scale urban agglomeration, which naturally forms a large-scale market.

As for whether world mineral prices will fall in a year's time? It should still be no problem, although Chile was included in the Soviet Union, but compared with the negative impact of the Vietnam War on the United States, it is still not large, so in order to reduce the economic pressure on the United States, the British and American companies that control the pricing power will continue to lower prices to make the domestic economic pressure in the United States less. The strategy of reducing the cost of raw materials should not change.

In this case, it is not unacceptable to wait for an extra year, maybe the economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is worse, and it will be easier for Sudan to achieve its goals, after all, Sudan is positioned as a strong country in agriculture and animal husbandry, and with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, countries that do not have enough food to eat, Sudan will not worry about no demand.

The DRC's economy is extremely dependent on mineral prices, and this policy of keeping mineral prices down will certainly put the country in a difficult position, as is the case in Sudan, and another year may be able to remove the threat behind Sudan, which is the pro-American Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, who is rapidly losing popularity. The idea of socialism from the lower classes is spreading widely, and according to history, the country will soon break away from the United States, and the completion of this move is Mengistu, who has received military training in the United States, and it stands to reason that this person should be pro-American, but he is black, and the racial discrimination in the United States is more serious, so he immediately broke with the United States after returning to China and threw himself into the arms of the Soviet Union.

The entire process of Ethiopia's fall to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did nothing but spread socialist ideas, from the earlier emperor being cheated by Western journalists to Mengistu encountering racial discrimination in the United States, all of which had nothing to do with the Soviet Union, and it was completely a windfall for the Soviet Union.

"Don't talk about that, you're here to inspect the Baia-Argentina Railway, and there are no problems, right?" Serov asked, "When will the next phase of the project begin, and are there any difficulties?" ”

"It can only be said that the railway has been laid, but the electrification construction and supporting facilities have still not been completed, even if the railway troops and engineering troops have been rushing to work, there are still great difficulties, and the tundra is really not easy to deal with. Even if the railway soldiers are soldiers, we cannot use them regardless of the dead and wounded, and even if the problem of attrition is relatively serious now. Lack of people......" Alexei shook his head, "Are you considering delaying the construction period?" ”

"No, this is a project of the century, and it will be carried out at the same time as the north-south water diversion, and the general secretary will not agree to it. And we've done so much that a pause will only push the problem back. Serov shook his head resolutely, and said as he got dressed while coming out of the hot springs, "Sometimes I really want to rebuild the Gulag and use prisoners as construction manpower, but unfortunately these people have been sent to the United States by Cuba, and I can't catch anyone if I want to." ”

Alexai went quietly, Serov did not send him, and a little later he received a telegram from the Lubyanka, which had two telegrams, one for military assistance to the Thai Communist Party, and contact with the remnants of the artillery party, and the other party's conditions. At the same time, the plan to suspend the attack on the Democratic Republic of the Congo is an indication of the current difficulties.

"You just decide, we will agree to all the remnants of the remnants of the army, they don't believe in the Communist Party of Thailand? It is possible to approve all of them to join the Communist Party of Cuba and let Cuba issue a batch of party cards, but they still settle accounts after the Communist Party of Thailand uses them up, and think that it is safer to join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, right? Okay, I'm on vacation, so let's do it. Serov put down the phone and watched as Valya walked in in her pajamas, and he bet there was a vacuum inside.

"Look at what? Do you only have eyes to move? The children are finally sleeping, come here. Valya pulled the pajama belt open, and her pajamas slipped down her smooth body, and she stood in front of her husband. (To be continued.) )
