Chapter Seventy-Two: Trafficking in War
Lieutenant General Zeyanov gave Serov a big hug when he came in, and said with a chic smile, "Yuri? How many days have you been back from Berlin? Worthy of the ace chief of our KGB, the West Berlin riots were well done! ”
"Hey!! Don't talk nonsense, that's the choice of the people of West Berlin themselves, and it has nothing to do with me! Serov greeted the head of the KGB border guards, and in all fairness, the relationship between Serov and Lieutenant General Zeyanov was not close between the heads of the various General Departments, and at best it was neither good nor bad. However, Major General Kudryash, commander of the Central Asian Border Guards Military District of the KGB, was transferred from the Dzerzhinsky Division by Serov.
The reason why Lieutenant General Zeyanov was so polite to Serov was, first of all, that he knew that Serov had been a member of the Shelepin group a long time ago, and that he was more trusted than all the directors of the KGB Main Directorate, and secondly, Serov had indeed solved the problem of funding for the General Directorate of Border Defense, which was in charge of the KGB's 300,000 border guards, and the border guards could not only pay salaries, but also conduct military training and purchase weapons, all of which required money. Every time on the issue of the KGB budget, Lieutenant General Zeyanov was under great pressure from almost all the Main Directorates, and if Serov had not used the First Main Directorate to make money abroad, he would have hanged himself.
"Then again, every time you go abroad, you can bring back a lot of expenses, how do you do it!" Lieutenant General Zeyanov asked with some curiosity.
Specifically, the MLM group controlled by the First General Administration, the international telephone scam group, the casinos in the Americas, and the smuggling in Africa! There are also agreements signed by local revolutionary organizations all over Asia, Africa and Latin America, which, of course, cannot be told to others, and Lieutenant General Zeyanov is no exception, but Serov still vaguely mentioned it to his colleagues, "The so-called capitalist methods of making money quickly are all recorded in the criminal law of our Soviet Union!" ”
Haha, the three secret service chiefs looked at each other and smiled, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky pointed at Serov and shook his head, strongly agreed with Serov's opportunity to act on the black United States, spread out a map of Azerbaijan and said, "Let's talk about the situation in Iraq first, our three general directorates cooperate to prepare to set up training camps in Azerbaijan, which will be ordered by the General Directorate of Military Administration, and the border guard bureau will build camps, and as for the training members of the Iraqi Communist Party entering Azerbaijan, our First General Directorate will be responsible for it!" ”
"Basically no problem!" Serov took out a box of camel brand cigarettes and threw them directly on the table and said, "But the specific training direction should be carefully discussed, just start from the individual training, when I didn't go to Berlin at the beginning of the year, I once picked out ten pacesetters in this area from the various units around Moscow, and this time they can go to Azerbaijan!" ”
"I also think that they can't be taught complete military training, even if they are taught, Iraq doesn't have so many tanks for them to use, it's better to only write about infantry training!" Lieutenant General Zeyanov also agreed with Serov.
"The most taboo thing about subversive work like ours is to be in a hurry, so our three general bureaus must put a good mentality, write investigation reports diligently, and slow down specific actions!" Serov nodded to himself and analyzed, "Either we will let the Iraqis kill themselves without interfering at all, and we will only provide weapons to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Either you have to be 100% sure, if you don't make a move, forget it, and make a move to change Iraq! Do more preparations, and once the opportunity comes, crush all the enemies of communism at once! ”
Speaking of this, Serov habitually put on a flue and said to two colleagues: "This time I want to pull a group of peers, it can't be our KGB fighting by itself!" ”
"You're going to reorganize the joint operations of the Nine Nations Intelligence Agency?" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky shook his head and said, "Since you started to establish a joint mechanism system for intelligence sharing with fraternal countries two years ago, I can see that you have never forgotten the intelligence bureau of the nine countries!" ”
"Of course I can't forget it!" Serov snorted coldly and said with a serious face, "The Intelligence Bureau of the Nine Nations should not be dissolved, the meeting will be held in Bucharest in September, and then I will strengthen the system of the joint mechanism for intelligence sharing, which can be regarded as the second step in restoring the Intelligence Bureau of the Nine Nations!" The strength of the collective is the foundation of the work! Just as we are now reaching out to Iraq, if the Comintern still exists, wouldn't it save us a lot of things? It would be nice to contact the Communist Party of Iraq directly through the Comintern, how can it be like now that there have been so many detours......"
A thirty-year-old man is considered a young man in the eyes of all the directors of the KGB, but this young man always has his own ideas in some aspects, such as the current thoughts of the Comintern. Sakhatowsky and Zeyanov didn't have much thought. Now the Soviet Union can lead the world socialist movement without that thing at all, and what if there is a Comintern, with this platform, it may attract more attention and restrict the channels for the Soviet Union to carry out its will.
Even if the two did not express their position, Serov's perception was clearly aware that the two colleagues were not interested in the Comintern, believing that this platform could limit the influence of the Soviet Union and that they would not be able to do things freely as they are now. So without further ado, the focus was renewed on the occupation of Iraq.
"The civil war in Iraq is still not bad enough, and there have not been a few decent battles in the past few months! The casualties are not more than 10,000, which is also called war? Serov shook his head and said, "Is it a question of weapons, a batch of light weapons from World War II was transferred from Czechoslovakia and the GDR into Iraq, and we will give them no guns and no bullets, they are only responsible for fighting the war!" ”
"That's right, those clan elders and religious imams, although they have prestige, are no match for the Qasim junta forces! Now it's more like government forces suppressing riots! "Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky knows Iraq well through the Middle East Division, and he naturally sees such an obvious problem.
"That's right, let the civil war spread throughout the country, and all the forces will be involved! Only then can we support the Iraqi comrades with peace of mind, and during this period, we must let the Iraqi comrades consolidate their own territory, take root among the masses, and not get involved in it, let alone join any side of the civil war! Serov summed up the plan for Iraq, saying, "None of the parties is stronger than our comrades, and the strength of the Iraqi comrades lies in the fact that the Communist Party is better organized than any other force, and it has a good reputation at the moment, so don't join the civil war to ruin your reputation!" Consolidate your own territory and listen to our command when the time comes, and once you start it, you can quickly sweep the whole country! ”
After the three of them discussed how to control the situation, Lieutenant General Zeyanov took his leave. The headquarters of the General Directorate of Border Guards is two hours away from here, and Lieutenant General Zeyanov prefers to stay in the headquarters, so it is very face-saving to come out to meet today. At this time, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky grabbed Serov and said in a low voice, "It's been more than a year, and your proposal in Algeria has finally received a response from France?" ”
"Really?" Serov's eyes lit up, but he immediately returned to normal, rubbed his hands together and said, "Then we have to see how much money our new president of France is going to come up with in return for the friendship that the KGB has extended a helping hand!" You know, Algeria is four times as cheap as France, it's too cheap for us to risk being discovered by third world countries to help them......"
