Chapter 562: Transnational Marriage
Countries with history pay attention to history, and this sentence is indeed true. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Even though 80% of the Egyptians now believe in the religion of peace, they are still full of yearning for the era of ancient Egypt, which was the earliest civilization in the world after all. With the exception of a handful of religious lunatics, ordinary people have a visceral admiration for their country's history, no matter what.
"The British imperialists, who had robbed Egypt of untold wealth and treasures of human civilization, now that the colonial era was gone, the Soviet Union supported the Egyptian people to bring back the Egyptian antiquities in the British Empire Museum. Justice will come sooner or later! Serov, who stood in front of the microphone, shouted with emotion and empathy. Preparing to recover the setback from Jordan from Egypt, there was a burst of cheers from below the square.
I made you British disgust me, and now I am disgusted with you too! Who made your ass unclean. Now Serov is discovering that history is really a good thing. As far as the British Imperial Museum is concerned, the British Museum has a large number of ancient Egyptian antiquities, which are priceless, and its collection of mummies is second only to the National Museum of Egypt, and the treasure of the town hall, the Rosetta Stone, is world-famous! In terms of the value of cultural relics, the value of cultural relics in the British Empire Museum is higher than that of many national museums.
"Damn Soviets, are they idle, always meddling!" The British embassy in Egypt turned green when it heard Serov's public appeal to the Egyptians. If Britain returns those artifacts to Egypt, then doesn't it return them to other countries? What about the Greek ones? What about China? What about Iraq? What about Iran's? Not much of the British Empire Museum itself is owned by the British, all of it was looted from all over the world during the empire, and if it were returned, the museum would be closed.
Regardless of what the British thought, Serov, who had succeeded in making trouble for the British, was in a good mood, and by the way, he went to the Egyptian Museum to take a look at the artifacts from thousands of years ago, or rather stones. Egypt now has troops from Libya, ****** and Sudan in addition to its own.
"We must support Nasser, Egypt's political influence is too strong. This is not because of how worthy of support Nasser is, but because we have no choice, although the ****** Bourguiba has obvious socialist tendencies in recent years, in fact, like some third world countries, he just doesn't like to be elected at every turn, and he looks at our system because our country's cadres do not have a term of office! Serov felt Nasser's influence intuitively, and it seemed that it was much stronger than the last time he came to Egypt.
But this is also a good thing for the Soviet Union, among the Arab countries, there are only a few qualified to lead, Egypt, Algeria and Saudi Arabia, not to mention that Algeria is not independent in this time and space, and even if it is independent, it is almost a little hot. Although Egypt is pro-Soviet and Saudi Arabia does not want to be so pro-American in later generations, they also have such signs. Although countries such as Syria and Iraq can be called powerful in the Arab world, they are still a little worse than Egypt and Saudi Arabia. If Saudi Arabia does not have the world's largest oil reserves, then its basic conditions are even worse than Libya's. It is not even worthy of being compared with Egypt. Living conditions in Egypt are also poor, but Egypt is the most populous country in the Arab world, with the Suez Canal in hand and the center of Arab culture. Egypt was an Arab leader during the Nasser era.
In the war that has just ended, although Jordan has suffered a great defeat, the combined forces of Syria and Egypt are not ashamed. Subsequently, the Soviet Air Force was dispatched to destroy Israel's nuclear facilities, and also increased the influence of Egypt and Syria from the side, regardless of whether the Soviet Union was for its own interests or not, but the destruction of Israel's nuclear facilities was indeed a great thing for the Arab world.
After Moscow received all kinds of thanks from the Arab countries, both overtly and covertly, even Saudi Arabia, which had been in a pot of urine with the Soviet Union, issued a statement praising the righteous act of the Soviet Union, saying that the actions of the Soviet Air Force had relieved all Arabs of the gloom, and the Soviet leadership suddenly found that it seemed that it had never been so popular with the Arab world.
We must find ways to strengthen Egypt's leadership position, otherwise Egypt is likely to be usurped by Saudi Arabia, which later relied on oil resources, and from the perspective of the Soviet Union, it is not impossible to usurp the throne, but it is absolutely impossible to sit on a pro-American Saudi Arabia.
Israel has nuclear weapons and does not have nuclear weapons, which is very important here, Israel has nuclear weapons, Egypt is quite facing an opponent that can never be completely defeated by military means, if there are no nuclear weapons, this possibility will always exist, and the Egyptians are confident that they will continue to fight, even if the odds of winning the other side are pitiful.
"As soon as Nasser died, Egypt immediately eased relations with the West, and it may be seen that the leader with great prestige died, and the national policy shifted, and this is not just Egypt!" Serov thought for a long time and felt that Egypt's leading position in the Arab world must be strengthened, and the Soviet Union must do its best to do this.
Conditions are much stronger now than after the third Middle East war in history, when the Arab coalition was defeated and Syria, Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq were devastated. Nasser refused to accept and immediately resorted to a war of attrition and Israel to fight for manpower, and eventually Egypt's economy became in trouble, and Egypt stopped continuing to fight Israel after his death.
But this war was different, there was no unilateral Israeli attack on the Arabs, and the nuclear facilities were bombed by the Soviet Air Force. It can be said that the same heavy losses are the same, and in this case both sides need time to recuperate. So there should be no war of attrition after the third Middle East war.
What was there in Egypt that the USSR needed? In addition to the geographical location and the Suez Canal, the natural conditions of Egypt are very poor, and it is good to take care of yourself. Yes Egypt has a population of 30 million. These populations are the places that can help the Soviet Union. The population of the Soviet Union was insufficient, agriculture was not good, and the two factors constrained each other, so it was difficult to face the United States alone, not to mention that the allies of the United States were much stronger than the small partners of the Soviet Union.
"No steel, no coal, no shipbuilding? No way! Greek shipbuilding is very hanging, and it can only be in the textile industry, right? Fortunately, there is no shortage of water, and Egypt can only develop light industry, which will be limited by raw materials, but this is fine, it can supplement the USSR! Serov made an assessment report, which was sent by telegram to the Council of Ministers of the USSR. Handed over to Kosygin, the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, Kosygin has the most say in this matter.
The army has always been the source of Egypt's political power and power, and without the army there would be no foundation for Egypt, which is more similar to Germany before the First World War, except that the Egyptian army is far less powerful than the original Germany. Therefore, every time Serov came to Egypt, he had to meet with the Egyptian military generals, attend a party, and by the way, mention the opinions of the Egyptian military generals.
"If the military advisers of the USSR make a move that displeased Egypt, the Egyptian side can inform us of the KGB and deal with it on its own, and the USSR and Egypt have an equal and friendly brotherly relationship. It is not the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized, the two countries and the two armies are in an equal position, and the Soviet servicemen naturally have to abide by the laws of Egypt! After Serov put on his military uniform, he reverted to his sanctimonious appearance, without any sense of depravity in Jordan, and began his old business of deceiving third world countries.
This statement was necessary, he had to take care of the pride of the Egyptians, but it could have been recovered from elsewhere. For example, many of the children of military leaders who returned from Moscow came back with Mao Mei. There was nothing to complain about Serov in this situation, and there was no shortage of women in the USSR. I don't know how, the closer the USSR was to Europe, the higher the birth rate of girls, and in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine and even Russia itself, the birth rate for girls was higher than for boys. Even statistically, Kazakhstan began to show such signs.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the diet of the USSR, or did it have its own genes for loving children? This situation is already a bit outrageous, and many of the republics of the USSR have a huge disparity in the ratio of men and women if they are counted separately, and you must know that almost twenty years after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the impact should also disappear.
Since there are many women, they can't be allowed to marry, and the children of Egyptian military generals live in good conditions. So the KGB not only turned a blind eye in this regard, many Soviet girls who had a relationship with the son of an Egyptian general were simply members of the KGB and were receiving KGB salaries.
There is not even a language barrier at the meeting, just speak Russian. It was as easy as meeting one's own subordinates, and if this situation had lasted for twenty years, the Soviet Union might have been able to develop a pro-Soviet ethos in Egyptian high society, as was the status of French in Russia during the Imperial Russian period.
"Wait for these children born in transnational marriages to grow up and graduate from Moscow again. Relations between Egypt and the USSR should be unbreakable! Serov looked at the boys and girls in the field, who might be in charge of the Egyptian military or senior officials of the Arab Socialist League. At this time, there was only one political party in Egypt, Nasser's Arab Socialist Union, which was the equivalent of the Arab Baath Socialist Party in Syria.
The attitude towards Syria is the same as that towards Egypt, anyway, there are a lot of Soviet women, even if it is a few thousand cases, it is no problem at all, and many Syrian students who studied in Moscow brought back Soviet wives.
"For Egypt's battle damage replenishment, we decided to replenish the Egyptian T62 tank, which is definitely above the T54 tank in performance. This is also our Soviet tank in service! In front of Nasser, Serov patted his chest and assured that the recovery of the Egyptian army would be fine, and by the way, the tattered T62 tank was blown into the sky, and it was not a blow, China did not have such tanks.
