The reason why the Soviet Union took on a conservative posture in the war in Afghanistan was directly related to the fact that it did not dare to completely turn religious forces into hostile elements, and the Soviet Union during the Afghan war had long had nothing to do with the countries that had sworn to liberate the world, and all it thought about was to raise a pro-Soviet puppet from Afghanistan, and it was okay whether it was a Communist Party or not. The aim was for Afghanistan to hold back post-revolutionary Iran, but there were far more religions in Afghanistan than there were communists. Such a conservative intervention in the war in Afghanistan will only lead to more and more enemies.

But even so, the Soviet Union was still doing more than the United States in the Afghan war compared to the American war in Afghanistan, and while the war was being waged, the Soviet Union was still building Afghanistan. Afghanistan in the hands of Stalinists like Amin is better than in the hands of religious elements.

The same is true of Sudan, where a bribed junta can be pro-Soviet but equally pro-American. If one day General Aboud discovers that the Americans can give more than the Soviet Union, it is a matter of one sentence to turn the gun and purge the pro-Soviet forces, in Serov's eyes, Sudan, a country far from the Soviet Union, once the United States and the Soviet Union really fight, the Soviet Union will suffer very much, and Sudan must be turned into a socialist country.

The black people in the south were Christians, and the sultans in the north, although they were also darker, were Arabs. This kind of religious war will be endless once it is fought, don't look at the Soviet Union's promise of military assistance to the Sultan, but if there is no miscalculation, this war can still be fought.

Serov will not show any dissatisfaction until he has found a replacement for General Aboud, and if the chairman of the Sultan Revolutionary Council likes to listen to some compliments, he will not mind endorsing Aboud in front of these Sultan generals and saying something correct about greatness and glory. Like now.

The real fatal thing about the Soviet Union is not the planned economy, or even a highly centralized power structure, the real fatal thing is very simple, that is, the population controlled is not as large as the Americans, the world is very large, but the environment is good, the quality of the population is very good, there are few places, the situation is most obvious in Europe, the second most populous country in addition to the Soviet Union is Poland. Poland has half the population of the French, who are smaller than the population of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Romania, the third most populous country of the Warsaw Pact, has less than 20 million people.

"I hope the friendship between our two countries is as strong as the friendship between us!" Serov shook General Abboud's hand and made a gesture to the Sultan generals, meaning that this person was covered by us in the Soviet Union. In fact, if there were anyone who really wanted to rebel, he was more pro-Soviet than General Aboud, and he was optimistic that it would happen.

The Sultan received military aid and plans to build some factories, and even Serov informed General Aboud that the Soviet Union had obtained a batch of ploughing cattle from India to be transported to Sudan to supplement the shortage of agricultural manpower in Sudan. In fact, Sudan also has a coastline, but it is a bit unsatisfactory to be a port.

After chatting for a while, Serov revealed that he was going to return home. On the one hand, he is really busy, and on the other hand, it is also to let the Sudanese side let down their guard and leave after the welfare is distributed in a more internationalist spirit. Even if he desperately wanted the Sultan to change color, he had to pretend not to be interested at this time.

Before leaving, Serov said that the construction of the airport should also be put on the plan, as the capital of an African power, Khartoum needs an airport to connect the capitals of the world, and assume the responsibility of a big country. Airports in Sudan are only capable of taking off military aircraft. It must be said that it is a Soviet military aircraft, and if it is a cargo that is more difficult for the Americans to serve. The conditions here may not be sustainable.

This is someone else, Serov led the KGB-related agents, including his wife, down the Nile to Aswan, and when it comes to Aswan, people always think of the world-famous Aswan Dam, which has only just been built at this time, and is far from the magnificent beauty of later generations. Leonid's Aswan military base is located here. Leonid was the deputy of Major General Igor, and after Major-General Serov was recalled by Major General Serov, this very important military base was under his command.

In Serov's time, the Soviet stronghold in Egypt was mainly in two aspects, one was Alexandria in the north, and the other was the Aswan military base next to the dam under construction. There were not many people in the training camp itself in Cairo.

This military base is part of the internal affairs forces of the KGB. Now it's the Inner Guard. Instead of the military base of the Soviet Red Army, in other words, Serov, as the commander of the Internal Guard, was the immediate boss of the commander of the base, Major General Leonid.

The area of Sudan close to the border with Egypt belongs to the desert area, so for the preservation of grain, General Abd will choose to build a grain depot close to the border of Egypt, and the construction of the grain depot here is due to many considerations, one consideration is that the Soviet Union has a military base here, and in General Abboud's view, the Egyptian military will not threaten the Sudanese grain depot under the noses of the Soviets.

"The Nile is undoubtedly a very important transport artery for Sudan and Egypt, and once the Aswan Dam is built, it will bring not only economic value, but also water disputes. You must know that 97% of Egypt is desert, but Sudan is not short of water. "Serov seems to see a future where two countries are arguing over this matter, and water is also a huge weapon, why is the plateau so important to China? Almost no one wants to live on it, but the government is desperate to maintain it, because it is the source of many great rivers.

Controlling the upper reaches of the great river is equivalent to choking the downstream countries by the neck, and later generations India and Vietnam always quarrel with China over this issue, but whoever occupies it has the final say. Water resources are much worse for Egypt than for India and Vietnam, after all, there is no shortage of water in those two countries during the rainy season, but Egypt is a desert all over the country.

"In a few decades, Egypt will definitely regret letting Sudan become independent, even if it doesn't say it in his heart!" Serov, who got off the boat with his wife in his arms, laughed and said, if he was Nasser, he would rather start a war and kill all the Sudanese than let Sudan become independent, look at the natural conditions of the two countries, Egypt has nothing but sand, Sudan wants grasslands and grasslands, forests and forests, and there is nothing lacking. Moreover, the population of Egypt is several times that of Sudan, if Sudan is not independent, Egypt even has the hope of restoring the Arab Empire, Sudan is independent, Egypt is a country that is nothing, if Egypt is not honest, the Soviet Union can fully support Sudan in building a dam to cut off Egypt's water.

Not long after disembarking, the military base sent people to pick up the group, and the jeeps here were specially treated with sand control. It was possible to march on such dry sand, the USSR was much worse than Europe and the United States in family cars, but not lagging behind in the entire series, and in this matter of off-road vehicles and heavy trucks, the USSR was the world leader.

Major General Leonid was three years older than Serov, probably having spent more time in Egypt and had tanned skin, but it did not detract from the courage and strength of the soldiers.

"This is my wife!" Serov first introduced Valya with a turban, and the group entered the building of the base, the entire military base was much better than when he was here, when Serov was cultivating here, there was not even electricity here. And now it has the appearance of a military base.

"The food problem of Sudan is handed over to you, this batch of grain produced in Sudan is very important to us, and there must be no mistakes, understand?" Serov ordered very seriously.

"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely guarantee the safety of this batch of grain!" Leonid was not a cadre of the secret service system, for whom Serov was the commander of the Internal Guard, and not the first deputy chairman of the KGB. Of course, it doesn't make a difference, because no matter what role you are, you can command him.

"After doing this, I will transfer you back to the USSR, some things need continuity, Igor is currently working in Kyiv, the internal affairs troops of the Caucasus have been withdrawn and reorganized into border military districts, you go to the Caucasus to be the commander of the border guards!" Serov painted a pie for Leonid. As for why it was transferred to the Caucasus, the main reason is still in Turkey.

Turkey's blockade of the Dardanelles was tantamount to trapping the Soviet Black Sea Fleet's southward route. The Soviet Union's southward route was too unfavorable, and it was necessary to find a way to kick out the stumbling block of Turkey, so that the Soviet Union would not have to search for ports all over the world as naval bases. For the changes in history that are beneficial to the Soviet Union, Serov adheres to the attitude of sitting and watching the results, and for the changes that are not conducive to the Soviet Union, he must be mixed in, even if it is worse, it will not be worse than history, so why can't he be a good-stirring stick?

Turkey is not a country of steel and cast iron, be fully prepared and wait for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow, and it is not impossible to dismember Turkey, it is a big deal to wait for 20 years, and sooner or later the Turks will not be able to resist giving Serov the opportunity to attack. The Americans could not resist the temptation to jump into the quagmire and rushed into the Vietnam War, and it was normal for the Turks to make mistakes in the moment.

As for the preparations for Turkey, it can be said that they are going on all the time, this is not a slap in the head, as long as Serov is given a fleeting opportunity, the Turks will find themselves on the already stable border. From his point of view, all the third world countries are good places to export revolutions, the only difference is the intensity of the difference. The Kurdistan Workers' Party is also a good socialist party, so it would be nice to change the name of the Communist Party to them when the time comes. (To be continued.) )
