Chapter 473: Minister of the Interior

The whole Chancellery was in a heated atmosphere, and these Lumumba students were greatly influenced by the Soviet Union, and they didn't care at all whether drinking alcohol was in accordance with the doctrine or not, and they exchanged glasses with the comrades of the Soviet delegation, and from time to time they said something about Davalich, and there was no jerkiness in the meantime.

"Otherwise, it's better to be trusted by the comrades we have personally trained!" Serov, who was holding a wine glass in one hand, felt that in a few years, these students in Sudan will definitely begin to localize, and they will definitely not unconditionally cooperate with the Soviet Union's strategy at that time, but this is also stronger than supporting a force in Sudan itself.

General Aboud's family is now fine, because the new Sudanese military council needs them as their legitimate arguments, and Serov does not mean to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the tree is scattered, and the remaining Aboud family will not be a threat.

As long as these students do not have a muddy mind, they will not be overturned if they control the army, and after a few years the situation is stabilized, a new socialist Sudan will become an indispensable country in Africa, Serov believes that no matter how bad his students are, they will definitely be much stronger than those warlords and tribal leaders, and there are no rich countries around Sudan, and there will be no strong sense of immediacy like that of the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR.

The Soviet Union was not very interested in Sudan's coal and iron mines, but it also made its own aid, because the Soviet Union itself did not lack these things, and the Soviet Union was interested in a lot of things, Sudan's agriculture and animal husbandry, which was something that Khrushchev personally cared about, and the per capita grain of the Soviet Union was about six or seven percent of that of the United States, and the meat was about the same. Agriculture and animal husbandry are the stepping stone of the Soviet cadres in this era, and it is also a dark road, and I don't know how many senior cadres are replaced every year because of the increase or reduction of agricultural and animal husbandry, and on the issue of agriculture and animal husbandry, not a single cadre in the Soviet Union dares to guarantee that he will not make trouble on this issue.

The second is rare metals and oil, and an important member of the delegation is the largest oil tiger in the Soviet Union today, the Minister of Petroleum Industry Tikunov, this oil tiger is happier than anyone else at this time, and his mouth almost grinned behind his ears, and he really didn't pay attention to his appearance at all.

"The situation in Sudan is basically over here, for the time being, adopt a gentle plan for the blacks in the south, do not give the Americans a chance, take your time with the assistance of the Sudanese army, and the role of Sudan will be great in the future." Serov, who withdrew his gaze, said lightly, "Get the Sultan right, we can continue to go deep into the African continent, the route is ready-made, that is, the route of the British Empire, from Egypt to South Africa, from north to south to open up Africa, don't touch the French colonies for the time being, concentrate on driving Britain and the United States out first." ”

"You still have a lot of thoughts about Congo, but because of Lumumba, Mobutu is very unfriendly to us." Andropov frowned and said that the biggest obstacle on Sudan's way south was Mobutu in the Congo, Mobutu's anti-Soviet stance was very clear, and he received assistance from the CIA when he was just independent, allowing the Soviet-backed Lumumba to die.

No matter how corrupt and dictatorial this government was, Mobutu, who was on the front line against the Soviet Union, always enjoyed the support of Western countries, especially the United States. In Washington's eyes, Mobutu was a tyrant, but also a friendly tyrant, a reliable friend of the Western world. The pretext used by Western countries to support Mobutu is that in the Congo, either they support Mobutu's government or there is chaos. Therefore, when the Angolan civil war affected Zaire, the United States, together with France, Belgium, and Morocco, immediately sent troops to help Mobutu. The Americans' aid to Mobutu was also very generous, with the total amount of American aid reaching $860 million from the time Mobutu came to power until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"Mobutu is a tricky character, but he's a rock and I'm going to melt him down. There are many kinds of minerals in the Congo, but there is no oil, this is the weakness of the Congo, and it will take a long time, can he withstand us for a year, can he withstand us for ten years? These small countries do not understand the international situation at all. "Serov is not too worried about this matter, these countries in Africa are actually quite interesting, countries with oil have no minerals, countries with minerals have no oil, there are not many countries like Sudan that have everything, although Sudan is far from having the best conditions in South Africa, but it is already Serov who can find the best place in Africa, it may not be possible to run it well, how to say that the Arabs have a little more development than the blacks.

After the banquet, the rest of the time belongs to them, the Soviets, the Soviet Union has already gotten what it wants, the delegation of the GDR may come later, at least there is no problem in their own country, Khrushchev is also easier to speak, and the influence of the Soviet Union in Sudan itself is much stronger than that of the GDR, there is no need to worry that the GDR will turn back when it has a raw material production area, it is just a steel industry project, oil has been seized by the Soviet Union, and the GDR will not get out of control.

"Our Ministry of Petroleum Industry is ready to send people over to explore!" Tikunov's words caused cadres in some other departments to nod their heads frequently, and apparently they also thought the same, and when conditions permit, cadres of course hoped that the achievements would be attributed to their own names, and only with the achievements would they have room for improvement.

"There is nothing wrong with other minerals, but I hope the oil industry can be cautious, even if it has been determined, do not publish it for the time being, because the area suspected of having oil is the Darfur region of South Sudan, where the main ethnic group is black, Sudan has just fallen into our control, once the news of oil reserves is spread, it may attract our enemies, in fact, we don't need to do this at all, there are some things that only we know."

It is not difficult to understand the reason for making a fortune in a muffled voice, Serov said it without concealing it when he regarded Tikunov as his friend, believing that the other party also understood what he meant. Tikunov himself is a security cadre, and his experience in this area is not lacking.

"I know, but it's better to make sure, rest assured that I won't delay the national strategy for the sake of performance, I understand this truth!" Tikunov nodded cautiously, strictly speaking, he was a high-ranking security cadre during the era of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, when Serov was only the Minister of Internal Affairs of a union republic.

At that time, Serov made a mistake in Azerbaijan, and it was Serepin who asked Tikunov to speak in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that he could get a light start and go to Italy to do diplomatic work.

All departments are getting the benefits they need, and it's a happy situation for all. If there is performance, there is everything, not that there is no performance and cannot be promoted, it can only be said that the latter needs to hold an elephant's leg steadily.

Two days later, Serov and Andropov, who had come in secret, followed the Soviet delegation back to China, and the visit was very satisfactory to all departments of the Soviet Union, and the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union also gave high praise. A sultan firmly controlled by pro-Soviet factions is, of course, more reliable than a two-faced warlord leader.

In its original history, Sudan was fiercely contested by the Soviet Union and the United States, and never stabilized during the Cold War.

Serov returned to Moscow a few days later than the others, after all, he stayed in Kiev for some time, and when he returned to Lubyanka Square XI, he got a piece of news that I don't know if it was good or bad, the arrival of a new NKVD member, Nikolai? Anisimovich? Serokov arrived.

Serov instantly understood that Sherepin asked Semychasny to work in the Soviets in exchange for the NKVD, and Serokov was the new Minister of Internal Affairs selected by Brezhnev, and the reason why he said that he did not know whether it was good or bad was because the Minister of Internal Affairs himself was not his person, but a cadre parachuted from the Komsomol left over from Semychasny. In other words, the Minister of the Interior is not his own person, and for him, this matter is nothing more than the exchange of one stranger for another, and there is no gain or loss in it.

Serokov is Brezhnev's college classmate and is one of the backbone figures of the Dnipro gang, but this is not a bad thing, because Serokov came a little early, in the original history, because Semychasny and Tikunov were in charge of the KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs respectively, giving Brezhnev the opportunity to divide and break through, but this situation does not exist now, Serov has already squeezed out Semychasny and Tikunov successively, merged the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Serokov came over at this time to be a subordinate of him, No big deal.

As for the strategy of dealing with it, it is not possible to learn the hard top of Semychasny, and it turns out that Semychasny's method will only make Brezhnev take the risk and forcibly replace it, so learn from Andropov. Now the largest in the USSR was Khrushchev, and Serov did not need to worry about being replaced for a few years.

"In that case, let's hold a welcoming ceremony for Comrade Serokov." Serov, who closed the document, said with a smile, "In this way, in order to create a good environment for Comrade Serokov, two senior security cadres were transferred from the localities to serve as first deputy ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I hope that comrades will continue to maintain good law and order in the Soviet Union in the field of security." "Don't think Serov doesn't know how to play containment, it's not that he can't, it's just that he usually doesn't do it differently. (To be continued.) )
