Serov took the bottle and poured a glass for each of them, and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that you have an ally who has just been condemned by the whole world?" If you want to break through the diplomatic dilemma, you must have to do something, the wind is coming from the east......"

Historically, China's large-scale aid to Africa began in the sixties, and as soon as the cause and effect were linked, Serov concluded that China is now looking for another opportunity to land in Africa, and as long as one thing is seized by China, the balance of power in Africa will change. Serov temporarily abandoned the establishment of a pro-Soviet government in the former French colonies, and turned his guns to concentrate on gnawing down British Africa.

"In this way, on the premise of not messing with France, it is two against two, the confrontation between China and the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States, we have no disadvantage in the comparison of forces, China's strength is far less strong than ours, but it is easy to target a few small countries!" Serov faced Andropov and Ustinov, and the three of them hid under the big tree and drank, quite a bit of a hero who was cooking wine.

"By the way, your request for help from China for the reclamation of Primorye must have been your idea!" Ustinov stretched out his finger and pointed at Serov and smiled, "You are too bad, how many supplies have you deceived people?" ”

"How do you call it a lie? That's all cooperation, and it's not like we're not going to give it back. "The face of the socialist country is bigger than the sky, at least in the Soviet Union and China, this is the case, and when the reclamation is completed, the KGB will definitely find a way to return it to China, but Serov still told Ustinov, "At present, there are more than 100 harvesters, 1,000 tractors and 500 cars, and I have already recorded the support received, and after the reclamation is completed, it will be returned to China with new machinery!" ”

"I heard that you are going to grow rice in Primorye?" Andropov asked curiously, "Are you sure?" ”

"There should be no problem with growing rice on the plains and corn on the hills!" Primorsky Krai is only separated from Heilongjiang by one river, and Heilongjiang can also grow rice in later generations, and there is no reason why Primorsky Krai, which is separated by a river, cannot.

Serov didn't talk much about this question, because he was not familiar with it, if he was also an agricultural expert, Khrushchev would have let him work in the government a long time ago, and now there are a bunch of cadres called agricultural experts gathered under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, and I don't know if it's true or not, Serov suddenly remembered, didn't Gotu also disguise himself as an agricultural expert at the beginning? I don't want this person, his file has already been circled by Serov, and he can't enter the central government to work for the rest of his life, and he just finds a state to toss by himself, and Serov doesn't want to pay attention to him.

"It's all here, I said, why can't I find you? The fact that the cadres of the three important departments are lazy is not the style of our Soviets! "After three rounds of drinking, Brezhnev appeared at this time, and I don't know where I got the news, and went directly to the country house in the suburbs.

"Ilyich, we also got together by chance, we're usually too busy, it just so happens that we have a common language, let's sit down and have a drink together!" To say that among the people present, Ustinov and Brezhnev have been in contact for the longest time and maintain the most good relationship, Andropov has no factional color, and Serov is completely Shelepin's cadre, but the relationship between the three of them is very harmonious.

Serov learned this trick from Brezhnev, and he must have a good relationship with the cadres around him in normal times, so maybe when he can help you? This is all uncertain, and besides, he knows who many of the cadres who will later become real power cadres except for the Dnipro gang, and there is no harm in building a good relationship first. Serov recently had a good relationship with Grishin, who later succeeded Yegorychev, and by the way, he investigated several women who had a good relationship with Gryshin, anyway, it was a pastime, and it was all about watching colored jokes.

"Seeing the three of you together, and so happy, there must be a country that is going to be unlucky!" Brezhnev sat down without a frame and looked at the three humans, "If the Soviet Union is what you say, tomorrow it will cause a world war, and I also believe it......"

"We are discussing how to confront allies overseas, and I talked to Serov about this!" Andropov said, "The situation over there is still quite complicated, mainly because the strength of our two departments is somewhat insufficient. ”

"Our first secretary is somewhat conservative and idealistic in dealing with this issue, and in my opinion there are two things worth noting, one is the strategic target of South Africa, and the other is the Persian Gulf, and controlling these two places will cut off the power of the Western world!" Brezhnev rarely showed a state of self-confidence, but he had been idle on this issue for a long time.

Serov was shocked but immediately relaxed, which was very much in line with Brezhnev's decision after coming to power, when the Soviet Union's offensive direction was southern Africa and the Middle East, but it is true that the latter did not do well.

"There is no problem with the strategic direction, but the problem we are facing now is that we do not have enough forces, so what Andropov and I mean is to concentrate the main forces in British Africa, that is, East Africa, first." As he spoke, Serov explained the predicament he was currently encountering, that is, the strategic projection force was insufficient, and the intelligence network had not been completed, so it was necessary to adopt strategic contraction.

"It is feasible to borrow the power of China, we are nothing more than a quarrel of socialist brothers, it is not a big deal. Isn't the current cooperation still very much! Brezhnev's expression was not fake in the slightest, he really thought so.

Throughout the Brezhnev period, in fact, he always wanted to bring China back, but the trick he chose was the same as that of the Soviet Union to Eastern European countries, that is, force. And China has never succumbed, even before China participated in the boycott of the Moscow Olympics in the future, Brezhnev did not think that the situation was serious, until the Olympic Games China and the United States boycotted together, he until things were wrong, China is playing really.

It is normal, because for the Soviet Union itself, there are not many military forces invested in the Far East, that is, the weapons of the 100,000 troops are still relatively average, and the troops are still second-line troops, and the Soviet Union does not feel how much strength it has invested to contain China. But for China, it is different, the second-line troops of the Soviet Union are equipped with more than 10,000 tanks, which is more than twice the size of the whole of China. For the Soviet Union, the military power is not large, and it is simply Mount Tai for China.

"The Chinese want face, we will give them face, this thing should be rescued, ask for help, take care of their self-esteem, there will be no problems, our main enemies and strategic direction are the United States and Europe, it is the Americans who make China have a headache in Asia, Southeast Asia is also out of reach, except for Indonesia, it is not under our control anyway, what are you afraid of?" Serov moved his numb legs and said, "When the United States collapses, whoever has better economic conditions and runs more smoothly will be real socialism." ”

Brezhnev deeply agreed with Serov's words, and in his opinion, Khrushchev's idea that he always used theory to suppress the other side was too naïve, and now the Soviet Union blocked China's scolding of the Soviet Union, isn't it much better? Far less passive than it was before this year.

A few people chatted a few more words, and the topic turned to the development of armaments, Ustinov said that the research of new tanks is not very smooth, mainly because of the excessive cost, Serov listened for a long time, and understood that the new tank should be the T64 main battle tank, although the T-64 is not like the T-72 main battle tank is equipped and developed by many countries, but it is the basis of the Soviet Union's future modernization (such as the basis of the T-80, but he did not talk much, the Soviet Union has very sufficient reserves in tank technology, He doesn't need to worry about being a layman, it's hard enough to be a security expert, and then disguise himself as a weapons expert? Isn't that exhausting?

"When the technical reserves are mature, then we can create a tank that is convenient for mass production!" Serov said with a smile, Ustinov was quite happy, he liked this kind of talk to his temperamental friend, and said directly, "I have already thought about this aspect, by the way, the Morozov Design Bureau said that some drawings helped them, but I don't know who sent them, but it inspired them a lot!" ”

As he heard these words, Serov coughed violently twice, and hurriedly stuffed a loaf of bread into his mouth, and if his memory was good, it seemed that the drawings had been sent to Isemotny on the spur of the moment.

"Oh, I stole some concept drawings from the West, and I didn't know whether they were important or not, so I copied them and sent them to the Morozov Design Bureau!" Serov simply admitted that he did it, in order to prevent Ustinov from being frightened by the news, so he only said that this was a concept map, and the Western world had not specifically designed this tank, so as to explain the reason at the same time, and by the way, spread the theory of the Western threat.

But it was this news that made Ustinov's face change instantly, and he obviously attached great importance to this news. As an imaginary enemy of the Soviet army, every move of the West made him vigilant, and he specifically asked the KGB to collect the news of the NATO Army in order to let Serov, who was in the sweat of his head, pass.

"It's a pity that my son Nikolae doesn't do his job every day, and he thinks about those strange things every day at the Institute of Physical and Astronomy, and the other day he said that he wants to build a tank that uses lasers, which is really funny." Ustinov shook his head and said, "I really can't do anything about my son!" ”

Laser? Serov thought about it carefully, if he was not mistaken, the prototype of the prism tank was actually a Soviet tank, so the designer who studied the prism tank was the son of Ustinov? Nikolaye? Ustinov? (To be continued.) )
