Chapter 224: Soviet-German Cooperation

The price of oil supplied to the GDR was twice that of the international market, which would cause the GDR's economy to be more vulnerable than any other country to the oil crisis, and the steel rationing system for the GDR caused the GDR's steel enterprises to be unable to produce at full capacity, resulting in many cars produced in the GDR being made of plastic to supplement the lack of steel, of course, there was nothing wrong with that, and later generations did the same, but at that time, it was for environmental protection, and the GDR was really restricted.

It was in this situation that the GDR began to compete with the Federal Republic of Germany with their hands tied, not to mention the many punitive measures imposed by the Soviet Union. Even so, the GDR's development was still good, and it was undoubtedly successful as a country, and if it were not next to the Federal Republic of Germany, which was also supported by the United States, it would not have given the impression that the GDR was not weak.

In the evening, as the host, the presidium of the KGB arranged a welcome banquet in the auditorium, and for the departments of the USSR, the KGB was special, no one knew how many informants the KGB had, and even the KGB itself had only a rough figure. In this respect, the KGB was nowhere near as good as its own GDR counterparts in terms of details.

"See how happy they are?" Looking at the happy scene in the field, Serov, who was sitting on a chair by the wall, gently touched another wine glass with a wine glass, and the owner of the wine glass was Markus Wolff, the director of the GDR Foreign Intelligence Service.

In this rare moment of relaxation, Serov also seemed more relaxed to communicate with his German counterpart. The two sat side by side and watched the lights in the field, from the perspective of cultural exchange. The socialist camp and the capitalist camp on the opposite side have never been broken, and the enemy has both this side, with the exception of China.

"I am sorry about the situation in the GDR, and certain restrictions I can only give you convenience from the scope of my work!" Serov said helplessly, "I hope Comrade Marcus understands our suffering." The United States is far away from Europe, and no one knows, may or may not, whether it will resolutely protect Europe to the end or whether the war will begin to be left alone. However, after returning home, I specifically analysed the continued focus of the Federal Republic of Germany, and it was not completely fruitless......

"Oh, it seems that our other half can't escape the eyes of our Soviet comrades!" Markus Wolff's words were not in favor or ridicule, or in self-deprecation, and he could not help but lament the current situation in the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany.

After greeting the waiter to bring two glasses of wine and thanking him, Serov said with some self-deprecation, "The Federal Republic of Germany is not subject to any economic constraints. According to the varying intensity of repression, which can be attributed to economic giants, military dwarfs and political dwarves, the most terrible thing about the Federal Republic of Germany is not the external things, but the hollowing out of the core of the Germanic people, compared to the obvious restrictions imposed on the GDR by the Soviet Union. The national spirit is a rather abstract thing that I cannot elaborate on, but the political constraints of the Federal Republic of Germany, in turn, are indeed an opportunity for us, and this is what I call the way to help the GDR within my mandate......"

Marcus Wolff stared at the middle of the field without blinking. Thinking about what Serov next to him meant. To say that the GDR is a third of the Federal Republic of Germany is relatively reluctant, and it is far worse than the Federal Republic of Germany in terms of population and territory. The decline in population was halted only after the Berlin Wall was erected. He couldn't figure out what Serov could value.

"The political attempts of the Federal Republic of Germany are limited by the United States, but we don't have to limit the influence of the GDR, Marcus, do you mind if we find a place to talk?" Serov invited sincerely.

"Of course there is no problem, we are interested!" Markus Wolf put his glass aside and left the glittering KGB auditorium with Serov.

Here is the office of Serov's First Deputy Chairman. Under the KGB's sword and shield logo is a map of the world blocked by the curtain, and without hesitation, the curtain is opened, and Serov, who is a little drunk, leaks a smile that does not shallow a smile, and looks at Markus Wolf with meaningful eyes and says, "The world is in our hands." In a sense, the progress of our intelligence services is the first step in influencing the situation of our enemies and our enemies, and our chances of winning this war are not small, at least than the chances of winning World War II that were better than yours......"

The so-called historical inevitability is a term often used by academic experts, and from a political point of view, nothing is inevitable, and the reason for Germany's defeat was that the Soviet Union blocked it with the same powerful war system and spiritual strength, and the price of this was 30 million people killed. It is 1960, the Soviet Union still has a huge disparity between men and women, and the generation born after the war has not yet reached adulthood. What if the USSR knelt? It cannot be said that Germany had no chance of victory, but that the Soviet Union had a better chance of victory.

Now the gap between the Soviet Union and Germany has further widened, not to mention that only one-third of Germany is in its hands, and in this case, the Soviet Union is still playing with restrictive clauses, and it is obviously inappropriate to double the steel quota and oil prices exported to Germany. Lao Maozi's thinking is more extreme, he has always felt good about himself and thought that he could beat everything, and when there was no hope of victory, he met a leader like Gotu who admits defeat to the end, and he can't think of that person, every time he thinks of that map, Serov always has a sense of fatalism that the sky is going to kill me, and this feeling is not good as an atheist.

"You Germany are the few colonial empires in our camp, although they cannot be compared with Britain and France, but some of the influence and legacy relations are stronger than our Soviet Union, especially in some of the periphery of the world. For example, South America, for example, in southern Africa! Serov pointed to the map for a while, staggered back in front of Markus Wolff and said very sincerely, "As far as I know, the people over there have a good impression of your Germany, there are many immigrants from your Germany in South America, your original foundation plus our current communist ideology strengthened, and the support of our KGB, there is no reason not to achieve results?" ”

"But most of those people are for the Federal Republic of Germany!" Marcus Wolf thought for a moment and said calmly.

"But the Federal Republic of Germany does not have the ability to extend its influence to South America, not because the Federal Republic of Germany cannot do so, but because your opposite side is still limited in this era, and I can unravel the restrictions on the Stasi of the GDR." Serov threw out a temptation that could not be considered small.

Because in terms of economic strength, the Soviet Union is the inferior side, not as serious as the expansion after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but it does have a gap with the United States, so in this aspect of the ******** gives the intelligence agencies a huge power to prevent the other side from borrowing economic power to subvert itself, in the rights of the intelligence agencies, the departments on the Soviet side are generally stronger than the enemy on the other side, and the restrictions on Stas alone are not a problem for Serov.

"If the Federal Republic of Germany is Germany, is the GDR not Germany? The German population of South America would not have expelled the Germanic people of the GDR, would it? Now is an opportunity for the United States to feel that the development of the Federal Republic of Germany will be overwhelmed, and sooner or later it will be powerless to prevent the Federal Republic of Germany from establishing ties with the German population in South America. Seeing that Markus Wolf was still thinking about it, Serov continued to add weight to the scales.

The effort was to release the Stasi, the most efficient intelligence department of the Warsaw Pact, and Serov really thought that the Stasi was too condescending to be strictly confined to German soil, and that the Stasi should play a greater role in the fact that he had not voluntarily defected in the past fifty years, and that the ability to make the opponent unable to find the lurker after the collapse of the GDR was able to make it impossible for the opponent to find the lurker.

"Thank you to the Soviet comrades for their trust, and if we can defeat our opponents, I also hope that the USSR will not forget the merits of Germany in this regard!" After a long period of consideration, Markus Wolf finally decided not to be satisfied with the petty action of sending officers, and began to prepare for the restoration of German relations abroad, while the Federal Republic of Germany was still confined to it.

"We, the KGB, will give you Stasi full support!" Serov restrained the joke in his expression, stretched out his hand and high-fived Markus Wolff, the cooperation between the USSR and the GDR did not require an agreement. There was no fear of a GDR rebellion, and unless they could wipe out the Western cluster, there was no chance at all.

This meeting was not entirely the KGB gathering small partners to prepare for the spoils, but also designed something civilian, that is, all the intelligence services agreed to help the Soviet Union's Alpha mobile phone system be promoted in their own countries, and the more shares a product occupied, the lower the cost. Now there is no chance, and if there is a chance, Serov must consult with Andropov and contact the Communist Parties of other countries to quickly promote the Alpha mobile phone and occupy the market before the United States.

When they returned to the auditorium again, everyone was already red-faced, and they didn't seem to have lost their drinks, and no one was dissatisfied with the KGB leading them to seize Africa and expand their influence, and they were all happy.

"We have to be fast, otherwise two countries will react quickly and will follow immediately!" Serov said lightly to Markus Wolf next to him.

"Who!" Marcus Wolf asked, one should be the United States, but he didn't know who the other country was.

"The United States and our other ally, even the Americans, are not as fast as the Chinese comrades......" Serov said in a confident tone. At present, China is a little poorer, but if anyone doubts the strategic vision of these leaders, it is absolutely a big mistake. (To be continued.) )
