Chapter 313: Ganges Water
As the head of the Soviet State Security Council, Serov was not afraid that his hands were not long enough, and what he was most afraid of was that he did not think much and did not think boldly enough. For countries that are completely pro-American and have no entanglements of interests in the Soviet Union, Serov's means are simple and direct, destroying them if they can be destroyed, and weakening them if they can't.
"Prince Daoud, long time no see!" After ten years, Serov's eyes were still the same as Daoud, and his iconic hooked nose allowed him to see this old friend from afar, and the two hugged each other warmly.
But what surprised Serov the most was not Daoud himself, but a large family behind him, who really deserved to be a peacemaker, and everywhere he went, he dragged his family to be so lively, and with Daoud's power, it was not at all surprising that there was such a family. It was not entirely unreasonable for him to be called the Red Prince, at least on the surface, the whole family was devoid of religion.
"General Serov, I haven't seen you for ten years, you are already a well-known security expert in the Soviet Union, the State Security Committee of the USSR is functioning very well under your chairmanship, you are still so young, and I am already a little old!" Prince Daoud's tone was a little whimsical, he used to be so confident, and now he touched his bald head and looked a little decadent.
It seemed that the red prince was not doing well, and Serov did not understand Daoud's words, and took Valya by the hand and followed everyone into the magnificent prime minister's palace. The two chatted like old friends, and to Serov's surprise, Daoud's Russian was improving so quickly that the two of them could have a basic conversation, but when it came to the international situation, this level of Russian was somewhat useless, so that the translator Serov brought from the embassy was useful.
"Prince Daoud, the more incomprehensible thing to me is that you went to Azerbaijan ten years ago to investigate. As I said, there is absolutely no way to solve the problem of the Durand Line if it were confined to Afghanistan and Pakistan, but so far, the Afghan government seems to have done nothing! "This is something that Serov does not understand, Afghanistan should work with India against Pakistan. And it doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.
"But now that Pakistan and India are in peacetime, what can I do?" Prince Daoud said helplessly, "Did I take the initiative to conclude a military alliance with India?" You must know that Pakistan is also a Muslim and Sling country, and once Afghanistan does this, what will the Arab countries think? ”
"What do the emirates think?" Serov said indifferently, "Egypt, Syria, Sudan and other countries have a good relationship with our Soviet Union, and I don't think I have any thoughts about it......"
"But the countries you are talking about have very little assistance to us, and Saudi Arabia and Qatar are well-known rich countries among the Moosi and Lin countries, and we need help for the development of Afghanistan, and we cannot ignore the existence of such factors." Prince Daoud spoke out about Afghanistan's suffering. This made Serov empathize with the fact that the real world is not a war game after all, and individuals have their own difficulties.
"Yes, it is indeed a bit troublesome for you to take the initiative to stand with India!" Serov thought for a moment and said, "It seems that India needs to take the initiative to contact you?" "Pakistan is a pro-American country, it's just too annoying. Position determinism, he doesn't have the concept of Pakistan in his mind at all. He only understands one thing, Pakistan is no different from Turkey, no different from Iran, and it is an American dog in this era.
Since these countries are pro-American. Then the lives of these countries are not in the scope of their own consideration, so the best way is to eliminate these countries and look for the opponents of these countries, and the Soviet Union will support these opponents. Now he wanted to rush to Kennedy and force Kennedy to sign the order to start the Vietnam War, and the United States wandered around empty-handed, so that Serov could not do many of his plans. After all, he can't be a dead man for the military power of the United States, just as he can't treat NATO as a dead man on the European side.
Don't think that Serov likes to make long-term plans, and always prepares for things ten or twenty years from now on, in fact, he doesn't want to do this, if the conditions allow, Serov is also willing to **** Europe in one year and plant red flags all over the earth in two years. If NATO collapses and the United States suddenly returns to isolationism, it can do so. But the United States is not stupid, why should it cooperate with the strategy of the Soviet Union? This is the Cold War era, the only factor in the US strategy is the Soviet Union, and other secondary contradictions can be tolerated by the United States, so the United States can support religious forces, dictators, and even hereditary kings, as long as they are not communists, they can be the objects of American support. As for how bastards those people are, the United States doesn't care at all.
The same is true of the Soviet Union, which can have good relations with the theocratic government in Iran and the dictator in Iraq as long as it is anti-American, and at the same time the countries in its own camp will immediately serve with a stick as long as they leak the slightest hint of pro-Americanism.
Cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union is not impossible, but it is basically impossible, and after the two countries have tacitly divided the spheres of influence of the British and French colonial empires, there is no need to stand together again. For each other, they were each other's main enemies, and China, Britain, and France were never allies of the United States and the Soviet Union, but potential enemies. Until the main enemy is cleaned up, these countries can be friends.
"General Serov, India's own strength is above Pakistan's, why did it take the initiative to look for us?" Daoud raised the issue that there are too many considerations between countries and that he cannot carry out his plans as Afghan prime minister as he pleases.
"The world is always changing, who knows?" When it comes to this issue, Serov is very confident, he wants to provoke a war between India and Pakistan for not a day or two, and he has been thinking about a problem for ten years, and if he still can't think of a solution, then he, a security cadre of the Soviet State Security Council, is too incompetent.
He had understood Prince Daoud's concerns, and in short, although Afghanistan and India could be eyebrows, if they formed an alliance with a Hindu country, they would be under a lot of pressure. India must take the initiative to speak out in this matter, and under normal circumstances, India will not need help from others to clean up a Pakistan, which is very simple, and the strength of the two is not on the same level.
However, there are exceptions, and India does not need to do this in a general war, but what if it is a war of annihilation? This time, Serov went to India not only to prepare for the Sino-Indian war and to be a captain by the way, but also to inspect the fuse of the war. Look at how far the fuse of this era has grown.
After a while, Serov followed Prince Daoud to the hall inside, and the servants inside had prepared the food, very halal food, but the people who ate it? It's not halal at all, it doesn't matter if the Serovs are from the Soviet Union, and Prince Koud's family doesn't have the style of Mu and Slin at all, if it weren't for the legacy of the Prime Minister's Office, he would still think that he was a guest in a Western country.
"I am personally willing to help build a bridge of friendship between Afghanistan and India!" After a full meal, Serov said to Prince Daoud, "I am going to visit India soon, and I believe that there are always people in India who are interested in this proposal!" "That being said, in fact, Serov has no confidence at all, and the impressive thinking of a great power is not something that normal people can grasp accurately.
Who knows if he will meet a guy who drank too much water from the Ganges when he went to India, and the next day Serov was honored to go to the textile factory built with Soviet aid, which has this strong Soviet style, and the degree of advanced machinery is second to none in Asia. It can be compared with the enterprises of any country.
After a week's stay in Kabul, Serov was preparing to join his entourage, when he received a call from the embassy from the country, from Lieutenant General Serdyuko, head of the Second General Directorate, about the military advisory group's trip to Cuba.
"Isn't it settled? What does Chairman Semychasny think? Serov tilted his neck and asked while packing up his things, "Just go directly to Lieutenant General Roman for the matter, and the KGB Presidium will hold a meeting to discuss it, and Chairman Semychasny says what to do, and we will do it!" ”
"Chairman Shemichasny already has his own opinion, but he still asked us to ask your opinion!" Lieutenant General Serdyuko's words made Serov frown, how can it sound like I want to overthrow him, am I dissatisfied with my sabotage of his plan? But now is not the time to dwell on such things, Serov himself is in Afghanistan and will not be able to return in a short time, and it will be more difficult for Itvasov's prestige to intervene in Cuban affairs, so it is better to let Semychasny take full control.
"I don't have a problem with other issues, but if there is a relevant military operation that needs to be covered, and there are Americans over there, I have an idea, to transport the Gulag thieves from Kazan Prison to Cuba, maybe it can confuse the public, and you can just listen to the chairman's orders on the rest of the issues." Serov looked in the mirror for a long time, and motioned to Valya next to him to take out the razor.
"It's all out, and there's something else looking for you in the country?" Valya assembled the razor and said with interest.
"Shemichasne is roasting me on the fire, but it's useless!" Serov, who took the razor, carefully trimmed his beard and said indifferently, "If something happens in Cuba, the responsibility is his ......" (to be continued). )
