Chapter 123: Sultan's Strategy

This is also good for Academician Sukachev's faction, as long as they have achieved success in promoting corn cultivation in Sudan. Not only can it make up for the food shortage in Siberia, but it can also avoid being suppressed by Lysenko in the future. Things were not complicated in the first place, but it was the stubbornness of Academician Sukachev who belonged to scientists that made Serov have a lot of more words.

It is also necessary to write a letter to General Abboud, the commander-in-chief of the current Sudanese military junta, although the telegram is a little more expeditious, but the letter is written more solemnly, and it must be done in an honest manner. It would be better for the Sudanese side to understand what the Soviet Union needed and what the Sultan's aid plan was now about. Letting the other side understand their own needs and how they can help the other side is more reciprocal than any spirit of internationalism, and it is easy for the Sudanese side to let down its guard when it is openly needed.

General Aboud dared to stage a military coup d'Γ©tat and take down the pro-British government. There is no doubt that Serov was the result of the support of the Soviet Union at the beginning, and considering the position of the other side, General Aboud was also worried that his subordinates would do the same, and did not know when to kill him, which was not impossible.

General Aboud's worries are not unreasonable, in fact, the powerful generals in his army have a good relationship with the KGB, but Serov is not satisfied, he does not like these backward warlords, if there is a general who is affected by communism, maybe he will really consider thinking about killing General Aboud. But not now, corn cultivation in the USSR is preparing to be promoted, and this time must ensure the stability of Sudan. Isn't it that when General Abd was united to take out the pro-British government, he was preparing for today.

So, let General Aboud understand what the Soviet Union needs Sudan to do now, and also let the other side understand that he still has value. so as not to be wary of Serov's strategy to promote corn in Sudan.

You never know how long it takes a writer to write between two words, and he's not good at writing this kind of formal letter, just like he's not good at writing reviews.

"General Aboud, with the current situation in Sudan, there are still many unresolved problems! Such as the literacy rate of the population, the contradictions between tribes and the organizational structure of the government, etc.! But there is one point that is the most basic and the most accessible to the people. That's the agricultural problem in Sudan! After last year's pilot, I believe you can also feel that with the help of our agricultural experts, some experimental sites have gotten rid of the backward agricultural situation of slash-and-burn farming, with our understanding of Sudan in Africa! Sudan is the largest in Africa, and has a very good foundation for water and land! You definitely have time to watch your country develop. ”

"The Soviet Union is promoting corn planting, this time we sent biologists led by Academician Sukachev to Sudan, after last year's pilot, this year has come to the time for large-scale promotion, as long as there is the support of the Sudanese military, we can join forces to hand over a beautiful answer in front of the world. Proof that the Sultan after independence has the ability to work miracles! ”

"Please understand my difficulties, we hope to set Sudan as an example country in Africa, so in the past two years, Sudan must achieve shocking development, so that the Soviet Union can publicize Sudan's achievements with great fanfare!"

Serov called Lukani in and translated his letter into Arabic. Then he put two copies in Russian and Arabic on a letterhead, and asked people to send their letters to the Sudan.

During this time, he discussed the details of going to Sudan with Academician Sukachev, "Some of my friends came back from China and brought good advice. When it comes to agriculture, the Chinese have some very unique opinions! This opinion is often among the old peasants who have fought with the land all their lives, although some experience is not suitable for us in the USSR! But it can also be used as another way of thinking to inspire us. I've already compiled the information, and this time I'm going to Sudan to start promoting it! See if it works! Academician Sukachev said.

Serov knows that the scientists who assisted China are returning to China in batches, and now many experts in different fields are packing up and returning to China. It is not yet possible to judge whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, and for a country, other people's experience is only someone else's. The real thorough is your own. It cannot be said that the withdrawal of specialists by the Soviet Union did not benefit at all, at least the most basic and extensive things were handed over to China, and the reason why China in later generations was able to become the world's factory was that the current foundation was at work.

Now the foundation is solid, coupled with the development of self-reliance. Fifty years later, the world's factory! The Soviet Union's aid to India was no less than that of China, and India was far from having the ability to thoroughly eat what the Soviet Union had given it.

And now a large number of Soviet specialists, while retreating from China, went to India instead! For the Soviet Union, India was far easier to deal with than China, and now the number of aid programs to India is rapidly increasing. Serov has not yet seen a plan of assistance for nuclear facilities in these projects, India built its first nuclear reactor four years ago, Britain, France, Canada and other countries based on the occupation of the civilian nuclear market, actively export reactors, India imported reactors from Canada to purify uranium and plutonium as materials for the manufacture of atomic bombs, but the foundation of nuclear facilities is very important, and if no one helps, the development cycle will be extended from a few years to decades. Some scientific projects are like this, often the most basic things are very difficult, and once the basic things are established, the bottleneck can be broken very quickly.

If the Soviet Union had suffered another outbreak of internationalist spirit at a critical moment, Serov would have to stop the aid of nuclear facilities, but he had not seen it yet.

Who has seen the United States help other countries build nuclear weapons? The United States behaved much smarter than the USSR in this regard. It's okay to talk about anything, but it's definitely not about this issue, not even the best allies.

Other problems are far away, and the immediate problem is the corn problem, which is too bad. After the problem, Khrushchev took out the gold reserves of the Soviet treasury as funds to buy grain, and this problem was also an important reason for his resignation. Serov was not saving him, but he felt sorry for the hundreds of tons of gold, what was wrong with that money......

"The Aswan military base near Sudan, near Sudan, in Upper Egypt, near Sudan, the commander of the base, Major General Leonid, and more than 2,000 internal troops at the base will serve as a force to protect your security! And Commander Aboud and I have a pretty good personal relationship! What I want to see is the yield, as long as the yield is reached! It's worth whatever it takes! Serov said indifferently to Academician Sukachev, and he was afraid that Academician Sukachev's scientist stubbornness would come up and make this matter worse.

As long as the food problem of the Soviet Union can be solved, it doesn't matter what soil erosion, what grassland degradation, and what forest area is reduced, Serov took out an assessment of the Planning and Economy Committee, as well as the analysis report of the Sudan situation of the Seventh General Directorate, the analysis of precipitation and sunshine time in recent years of the Eighth General Administration, and the survey of the arable area of the White Nile River and the Blue Nile River basin of the First General Administration. Huge organizational and scientific strength is the magic weapon of the KGB's victory.

One by one, he handed over the information to Academician Sukachev, and Serov made sure that there were no mistakes, and continued, "In two years, I want Sudan to build five million hectares of corn cultivation!" That is, to expand the corn belt in the current Sudan tenfold......"

"Five million hectares? 50,000 square kilometers! Academician Sukachev was taken aback and said, "General Serov, don't you think it's very unrealistic to expand the area of corn cultivation tenfold in two years?" ”

"What's impractical?" Serov raised his head to the sky and said, "Burning the forest and bulldozing the steppe should be easy to reach, it seems that the Sultan is not short of people!" There are also more than 10 million people, and the labor force for farming is not a problem! ”

Then he silently looked at Academician Sukachev, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth that was more ugly than crying, "According to my research in Siberia and Central Asia, the local plan is to expand the cultivation of corn by 10 million hectares within two years, so the planting area of 5 million hectares in Sudan is only the minimum value, and it is not necessarily enough!" If you have to guide the maize work in Sudan with the rigor of a scientist, our people will go hungry if the maize strategy in the country fails......"

"It's the beginning of the rainy season in Sudan, and you have to go out in the middle of the rainy season to see which areas in Sudan are more suitable for growing corn during the rainy and dry seasons, and will not be affected by climate change! Our KGB investigation can only be used as a reference, and the real situation needs to be checked by yourself!" Serov looked at the time and said, "I'm not going to send you, but bring enough antibiotics and some needed medicines, there are some things there that we are not used to!" Still pay attention to safety......"

At the same time, Serov again sent a telegram to Major General Leonid at the Aswan military base, this telegram was encrypted, and it was an emergency telegram sent by Serov for the worst-case scenario, once General Aboud was dissatisfied with the Soviet Union within two years and delayed the fact that the plan was delayed, Major General Leonid must be ready for armed intervention, and the timing of the intervention could be grasped by himself.

After doing all this, Serov can be regarded as having a short time to hear about the Soviet Union, and for the Soviet Union, Serov thinks that he can definitely call himself a tireless extinguishing of the fire like a perpetual motion machine.

It was only when Academician Sukachev got on the plane and set off that Serov let out a long sigh, and it is hard to say whether he will succeed or not, but he has already done everything that he can do as a deputy chairman of the KGB, and it is impossible to do better with his position.
