Chapter 253: Back to Moscow
As soon as the comment came out, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the general secretary of the French Communist Party, Dorez, and quickly criticized, "The demon communists have reached the point where they can do everything, and we French communists are here, and we are rooted in France, and there is no need for the so-called imaginary encirclement, and I hope that Le Monde will not publish brainless articles, Algerians themselves are people who believe in peace religions, and this kind of common sense error will not appear in our French newspapers, and it will be ridiculed by other countries......
Subsequently, the Communist Party of Greece and the Communist Party of Italy, both European Communist Party, expressed their support for the statement of the French Communist Party. It would be a huge mistake to think that the French authorities are still clinging to colonialism.
Naturally, the French did not want Algeria to break away from France, a place that was different from other colonies, and which the French had always operated as if it were their own territory since the occupation of the country. If time could be turned back, many French people would regret why they didn't kill all the Arabs in Algeria during the colonial era, only to get to where they are today.
Time cannot be turned back, and it is too late to regret it. France's desire to continue to maintain its colonies naturally aroused the opposition of all countries except its own, and there were only a few powerful countries in Europe, and the Federal Republic of Germany had no political right to speak, so it was naturally willing to stand on the moral high ground to criticize the French, and even more so the Italians, who wished that the French power in North Africa would collapse, and as for the British gentlemen on the other side of the channel, in the spirit that Lao Tzu's colonies were all lost, and the French could not keep the spirit of continuing to act as a-stirring stick, as for the countries of the Warsaw Pact camp, they were even more criticized.
The French never seemed so isolated, and at this moment as the Algerian People's Army in Egypt raised the banner of communism, it almost immediately caused a chain reaction that attracted another superpower in the world today. What opposes colonization and supports the independence of various ethnic groups, Americans are usually willing to shout slogans from the moral high ground in public. But this was all based on the fact that the independent forces were not supported by the Soviet Union.
When it comes to the Soviet Union, the usual problem becomes a different one. Supporters of national independence are farts, and if the situation calls for it, the United States can naturally be friends with dictators, warlords, and religious forces. As long as this force is not communist, everything is easy to say.
In the CIA's original assessment, the Algerian problem was just a false shot by the Soviet Union. It's not a big concern. It's not even as important as the United States' fight for Indonesia, but after such a long period of fermentation, now it seems that the Soviet Union is ready to play for real, although it is through Poland's intervention to organize forces, but tanks and artillery are really taken out to support, is it possible that the CIA's earlier judgment was wrong?
The problems of Indonesia have always been given more weight in the CIA's assessment than those of Algeria, simply because the number of Indonesian communists is still steadily increasing, and the communists in Indonesia are gaining momentum with the support of Sukarno, or at least indulgence. If you go to Jakarta at this time, communist propaganda can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The Americans acted quickly, and the CIA, as the opponent of the KGB, was undoubtedly qualified, and the Algerian People's Army, composed of more than 100,000 people and hundreds of tanks, was enough for the CIA to overturn its original judgment and determine that the Soviets were really ready to fight in North Africa, and the illogical doubts about the Soviet Union in the hearts of the Americans were suppressed for the time being. Let's get a real look at the situation in Algeria through the French.
The silence of the Americans was discovered by Pravda, and soon a very scathing comment appeared in Pravda, "Now in the midst of the anti-colonial storm in the world." Aren't the Americans, who call themselves leaders of the liberal world, ready to comment on things in Algeria? Is it only the freedom of the Americans that is considered freedom, and the freedom of the Arabs is not freedom? ”
What are you telling the truth? Do you need to ask? The American media who saw this report snorted coldly. This is also a question, as for the explanation of the Soviet Union's manipulation of public opinion to question the United States, the newly inaugurated President Kennedy of the United States answered this question very graciously, "We Americans understand the value of freedom better than any other country, and I think our Soviet friends may have forgotten that the United States was also established on the basis of resisting the British colonizers." In this respect, the United States is the same as all the colonies in the world today, and we feel the same way about their attitude towards colonizers. It is not that we do not support the independence of the Algerian people, we in the United States only hope that this independence will be based on a peaceful handover, and the development of weapons in the current era has reached a frightening level, and the experience of the American independence years does not know how great the price will be paid if it is placed in modern times. Here, I appeal to the French Government to face up to the Algerians' request for independence. If you have allowed so many countries to become independent, why can't you let Algeria become independent as well? ”
Kennedy, who had been in office for less than a month, expressed concern about the developments in Algeria with his good image. At the same time, he called on the French authorities and the Algerian National Liberation Front to come to the negotiating table. And ready to send a new Secretary of State Livingston right away? T. Merchant went to France to meet with President de Gaulle and mediate the Algerian issue, but of course the subtext Kennedy did not say that it was better not to allow the Soviet-backed forces to gain a positive influence in the Arab world.
"Kennedy came to power?" Serov looked at the large-page portrait of the American president who gave the Soviet Union the greatest embarrassment during the Cold War, according to the usual habit, he should routinely analyze a wave, but immediately abandoned this idea, Serov knew that what happened did not need to be analyzed, and the Soviet Union did not have the strength to change the outcome of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but it just looked a little better.
In the case of Algeria alone, the new US secretary of state estimates that the first foreign trip is expected to be fruitless, and the flashpoint of time is not on the side of the Americans. A little earlier, Kennedy might have achieved his goal, but now it is too late, and de Gaulle will not compromise on the Algerian question, even if it is against the Americans. The persecution of De Gaulle, a US secretary of state who does not know much about current affairs, may further alienate the already cold relations between the United States and France, and the extreme independence in the heart of Charles de Gaulle, a soldier like De Gaulle, who came from the era when his motherland was killed by the Third Reich, is no worse than that of China in this era.
"You are for the good of the United States, but unfortunately you died at the hands of the Americans themselves, the US government did not even dare to announce the cause of your death, what a great irony, after the JFK assassination Americans still believe that their country is a free country, this is what an idiot's self-confidence......" Looking at Kennedy in the newspapers, he must not have known that he was assassinated before his first term was over.
Kennedy would have been shocked if he knew that there was someone in the enemy country who knew that he was going to be assassinated.
"When Kennedy dies, you can use his death to attack the Americans and spread some favorite conspiracy theories, which can be regarded as waste utilization!" Serov took a pen and drew a large cross on Kennedy's photograph.
It seems that after the death of the Kennedy brothers, Kennedy's wife went abroad to avoid marrying a rich Greek man, and this matter can be well consulted, if Kennedy's son was educated by Soviet agents, would it be easier to take revenge? Serov never thought about the Cuban Missile Crisis at all, he even knew how many nuclear warheads the United States has now, and the ratio of nuclear forces between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 21 st century was 27,000 in the United States and less than 3,000 in the Soviet Union.
The direct consequence of the Cuban Missile Crisis was that the Soviet leadership, which felt humiliated, frantically built nuclear bombs after the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and by more than a decade later, the number of nuclear warheads in the Soviet Union had reached more than 40,000, which was 1.5 times that of the United States' nuclear weapons, and tactical nuclear weapons frequently appeared in various exercises of the Soviet Red Army as a theater item.
"Comrade Mohammad Drashim is ready to return home, First Vice-Chairman!" When Lukarni told Serov the news, Serov was considering the possibility of Kennedy's son becoming a Soviet agent.
"Oh? Then let's send it! Serov, who had come to his senses, stood up and walked to the hanger, and for two minutes put on his coat and buckle up his belt, and became regular again. "In principle, we naturally don't want to see religion become a force that interferes with the state, but in view of the relatively strong religious forces in Iraq, you can temporarily downplay this issue before you take power." ”
As long as success is guaranteed, it is okay to abandon some principles for the time being, and religious issues can wait until they come to power. Naturally, it should be cleaned up, but it can be said after taking the stage. For the sake of Iraq, Serov even sold the Algerian Communist Party, and if there is no return, this loss is too great.
In this way, Mohammad Drashim, who had been in Azerbaijan for ten days, left the Soviet Union with a plan on how to turn oil into national revenue for Iraq, and at the same time returned with less than a few dozen Iraqi security cadres with excellent academic performance, according to Colonel Riyadh, these cadres who returned initially had the standard of a Cheka warrior, and could completely establish a set of ruthless institutions to deal with the enemy, Serov was quite satisfied with this set of explanations, and the export revolution was not to train idealists to let the enemy kill, At the same time, it is necessary to establish a mechanism to protect its own forces.
While seeing off Muhammad Drassim, Serov received a telegram from Lubyanka Square 11 and set off on the train back to Moscow. (To be continued.) )
