The anti-Mobutu leaflet, in addition to pointing out the problems that Mobutu had informed the DRC, was the most important point of the Sudanese government's position, with the unanimous signature of the Sudanese Military Council, and at the end it read, "We are students at Lumumba University, and if you have not forgotten Prime Minister Rumumba, please join us in overthrowing this cruel regime." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The accusation made Mobutu's eyelids jump, and the name Lumumba was a thorn in his heart. Of course, the true father of the Democratic Republic of the Congo did not die directly at his hands, but Mobutu played a role in fueling the flames at the time. It was he who personally sent the captured Lumumba to the warlords who were bound to kill him. After the successful seizure of power, Mobutu banned the activities of the Lumumbaists, which was also his own psychological effect. Fear that Lumumba's supporters will one day come back.

Despite this concern, I never expected Lumumba's supporters to return from Sudan, "a group of Soviet students, speaking so nobly, as if you were an independent country." Mobutu scoffed, and then issued an order to confiscate all the leaflets airdropped by the Sudanese Air Force and to execute those who possessed them.

The KGB was right in judging that the Lumumba faction in the DRC did still exist, resisting in provinces beyond Mobutu's control, and that such a new African country, even if it was a strongman like Mobutu, could not end tribal rule. The Sultan was purged by the KGB itself, and a stable government was barely established. Although it is far from what the Soviet Union expected, it is still much stronger than the structure of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Almost at the same time, Andropov came out of the Kremlin and immediately went to the Ministry of Defense, where he was recognized by General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Selepin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosygin. Together with Ustinov he arrived at the Ministry of Defense and ordered the Soviet Air Force to resupply the Sultan.

Less than a year after the war in the Middle East, because of the war in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the two enemies of the Soviet Union and the United States once again rolled up their sleeves and confronted each other, building an air bridge for the two countries participating in the war. One has reached out from the northern hemisphere to the battlefields of Central Africa, and the other has crossed the Atlantic to support Kinshasa.

The transport plane formations of the air forces of the two countries have occupied the focus of the world, and this is a contest between the air forces of the United States and the Soviet Union. Both countries are very far away from their host countries, and the distance is about the same. This contest is also a demonstration of the strategic projection power of the respective air forces.

In order to ensure influence on the Sudan, Brezhnev ordered support for the just cause of the Sudan, and made a special emphasis on the need for support operations to be carried out with great fanfare, demonstrating to NATO the Soviet Union's unparalleled strategic strike capabilities. On 20 June, the Soviet Union began a large-scale airlift of supplies to Ethiopia, and on the same night, at least 200 transport planes flew from the Soviet Union to Ethiopia, unloading enough tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, rocket artillery, and a large number of fighters and helicopter gunships to equip three divisions.

"Let Zinev maintain the airport in Sudan, we have to make sure that every half hour a Soviet transport plane lands in Khartoum, and as for the battlefield on the southern front of Sudan, we also have to see if there is a real change in Sudan after my students take power, and if they can't even do it by air in the country, frankly I will be very disappointed." While mobilizing the strength of the KGB in Sudan, Serov sent a telegram to the students in Khartoum.

In all fairness, the strategic transport strength of the Soviet Air Force was still a little worse than that of the United States, but it had already reached the level of the Soviet Union in the late seventies in history, and in order to bridge the gap with the US Air Force in this situation, it was necessary to make decisive judgment and make a quick judgment to narrow the time and occupy the first hand.

Now that the world economy is in crisis, the huge transport aircraft formations of the two countries are not something that ordinary countries can afford. Compared with the United States, which was affected by oil prices, the Soviet Union, which had been doing its own thing, was almost not affected, and because of the increase in prices, there was a lot of foreign exchange, and this money was used by the Soviet Union to buy grain in the past, but now that the Soviet Union has a grain solution, it is even more willing to burn money in armaments, and it can definitely afford to burn it.

At a time when the people of the world are exclaiming what about the United States and the Soviet Union for fear that the world will not be chaotic, the problem before Serov is not the problem of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the problem of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is simple, one is an ally and the other is an enemy. It's not so difficult to fight the enemy on the side of the allies.

But another question is more cumbersome, Siad in Somalia? President Barre is preparing for a visit to Moscow. At this time, he should have almost gotten off the plane, and before that, Serov had heard Siad? Barre operates on the so-called issue of Western Somalia, which is Ethiopian land but is dominated by Somalis.

As early as five years ago, there was a coup d'état in Somalia, and Siad? Barre became a pro-Soviet ally in the Horn of Africa, and last year's coup d'état in Ethiopia turned Somalia's left neighbor into an ally of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the reason why Ethiopia and Somalia have just become hostile to each other has already aroused Serov's vigilance, because from a few decades later, the war between these two countries that have good relations with the Soviet Union is simply a meaningless war, and there is no winner, because both countries lost, so it is not accurate, plus the three countries of the Soviet Union lost.

If you compare Somalia in this era, it is similar to Afghanistan in this era, and the problem must be one point, the countryside is also very poor, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very large. But Somalia is a promising country in this era. The government is still in operation, and it is fully capable of controlling the whole of Somalia, Somalia Airlines is the highest-rated airline in Africa, and its moderate attitude and service are among the best in Africa, and the Somali capital is not badly built, not the desperate place of later generations.

Ethiopia has the highest reputation among all African countries because it has played a record in Italy, and once Somalia and Ethiopia fight, the Soviet Union is likely to choose Ethiopia, which was once a great power. Thus losing the base in the Horn of Africa.

None of this is a reason for Serov to stop the war, he is not so great, he has just promoted the war between Sudan and the DRC in order to seize the mining power of the Congo, and he does not mind being the first to rush in and harvest if the interests arise and are beneficial to the Soviet Union. There is only one reason for not doing this, and experts from various countries have not found anything in the 21st century in the Ogaden oil and gas fields, which spurred the ambitions of the Somalis.

In other words, it was just that the exploration companies of Western European countries gave off a gust of wind and said that there might be oil there, and the two countries fought. This is the same as the Western European reporter reported that Haile Selassie I fed meat to lions, which led to the Ethiopian emperor being placed under house arrest and separated from the Western world.

"I've heard of Siad? Barre's ambitions, we can't support this kind of thinking, we must strictly stop it, and we can't even say it vaguely, otherwise Isiad? Barre's character will definitely take action against Ethiopia, you must know that the situation in Ethiopia is not good now, the famine has only just been controlled, and once the war starts, the famine will definitely expand rapidly. Serov made his opinion clear that he was opposed to sloppy play between Ethiopia and Somalia.

Ethiopia has had pro-Soviet tendencies since the coup d'état, Somalia was originally an ally of the Soviet Union, and there were more than 4,000 Soviet military advisers, among whom the Soviet Union had to choose once the war began. Isn't there a disease in how you choose the Soviet Union, which is a loser and will offend another country?

"Somalia shouldn't dare, how can their country be an opponent of Ethiopia." Kirilenko somehow thinks Serov is making a big fuss, he is the secretary in charge of heavy industry, and he still doesn't know much about the current two countries.

"Somalia is now stronger than Ethiopia, Ethiopia's army has been cleaned up, and now the war is definitely not Somali's opponent, Siad? Barre must have seen this and was ready to take advantage of the unrest in his neighbors. Serov raised his eyebrows and said, "This kind of gambler's mentality has already been manifested once in the Third Reich and Japan back then. In the eyes of the USSR and the United States, how dare these two countries confront us? As a result, we were all slapped in the face. ”

Serov is right, we should put an end to this dangerous idea, and Somalia has territorial ambitions in the heart because of the oil rumors in the Ogaden. That's good, we can accuse the Western world of going crazy about oil on the one hand, and on the other hand, send exploration teams to explore the area, and if there is nothing in the area, Somalia will naturally not start a war. "Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Sherepin, immediately seized the opportunity to express his opinion.

Well? Brezhnev stopped Kirilenko with his eyes and said, "Well, if there is really oil, we will invest, and if we do not persuade the two countries to lift their hostility, we can still afford this amount of exploration funds." Jura, it seems like for the first time in years I've seen you stop the war at a conference. ”

"Who made me a pacifist?" Serov's excuse that his face was not red and his heart was not beating, made Brezhnev laugh, and then restrained his expression, as the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, he should be serious.

Brezhnev in the subsequent and Siad? During the talks, Barre solemnly pointed out the danger of such an adventure, and said that Ethiopia was not easy to deal with, that it was still the capital of the African Union, and that the Soviet Union did not dare to support Somalia. (To be continued.) )
