Chapter 688: First Strike
The democratic party in Portugal is called the National League, which is a party founded by Salazar and has now changed its name to the People's Democratic Party. Serov, who had learned www.biquge.info the process of deriving the results, believed that the Portuguese Socialist Party would come up with a very radical policy, even more radical than the Portuguese Communist Party, in exchange for the support of the Soviet Union, and then, after squeezing the support of the Communist Party, like the old-timers of the Second International, played a game called kneeling, and began to oppose the Soviet Union with the support of the United States and Western Europe. That's probably less than two years.
But as long as this process is known, this matter can still be intervened, that is, now, when the Socialist Party has just put forward a radical policy, but the party members are very small, and the cohesion mainly depends on the cohesion of the party leader Suarez, kill him, and at the same time the Portuguese Communist Party, which is far stronger than the Socialist Party, naturally presides over justice and swallows the Socialist Party to remove the threat.
"Are there any difficulties?" There was no answer on the other side of the phone for a long time, and Serov asked patiently.
"Arrange manpower immediately, when will we act?" It didn't take long for the voice of Mendelev, head of the operational executive department, to be heard.
"The sooner the better, preferably now." Serov's fingers kept stirring the telephone line, and he said gloomily.
"Sniff out and eradicate traitors!" Then there was a busy sound on the phone, and Mendelev had already hung up the phone from there.
A Tu series passenger plane landed in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, and Lieutenant General Igor walked down with a very confident smile, and soon met the KGB deputy chairman Zinev here, it turned out that the two served in the KGB together and had met each other.
Igor turned out to be the head of the Main Directorate of the Internal Guard of Ukraine, that is, the commander of the Ukrainian Internal Guard. The two had worked together and were no strangers to each other, but now that Igor had left the KGB to serve in the Central Liaison Department, he had brought Andropov's close friend Kryuchkov into the Exchange of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as Serov, and now served under Andropov as the head of the Africa Department of the Central Liaison Department.
"What are you doing in Africa? It's just too hot in this place," asked Zinev, the deputy chairman ......of the KGB who greeted him, curiously, "Secretary Andropov asked you to meet with some independent armed leaders!" β
"Yes, I'm here to take over the problems of the Portuguese colonies and help the Portuguese colonial troops evacuate." Lieutenant General Igor shrugged, "It's a boring job, unlike you've been planning an attack on the DRC. β
"Who knows if it's going to be attacked? Isn't the relationship between China and Portugal very good? Zinev's mood is a little low, the strategic offensive in Africa is mainly aimed at Portugal, and now that the political situation in Portugal has changed, he doesn't know what Moscow thinks about it, and whether it will maintain the original plan, after all, he has been here for a long time.
"At least the Sultan's offensive will not be canceled, it seems that the rainy season is about to pass, is the Sultan ready?" Igor was also uncomfortable with the hot and humid air, but he hadn't forgotten his business, and the two immediately left the airport and talked while walking on the road.
"Don't worry, the 150,000 Sudanese troops have been trained, and there is no problem with weapons, ammunition and air support." Zinev said very simply, "As long as the war starts, it will be difficult for the DRC to withstand, it is difficult to destroy a country, it is very simple to overthrow a dictator, and some people want to take his place." β
"The headquarters means to let all African dictators know what is going to happen if they oppose us. Against us, Mobutu will now lose all his wealth, which is more convincing than anything else. Igor nodded and said no more.
Compared to their work in Africa, the impact of the joint declaration of the Soviet Union and Portugal was obviously very great, and the Soviet Union took this opportunity to once again brush up a wave of goodwill around the world, especially in Africa, where the armed forces of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau welcomed the decision of the new Portuguese government and thanked the Soviet Union for its efforts. The war of independence of the Portuguese colonies, which lasted for more than ten years, seemed to have stopped all of a sudden, and the armed forces of both sides experienced a rare tranquility.
The joint statement of the Soviet Union and Portugal drew praise from all over the world, and no matter whether some countries were sincere or not, everyone was unambiguous on the issue of political correctness, and even the American newspapers expressed their appreciation, although the report was only elaborated in a single sentence in an inconspicuous place.
The dawn of peace seemed to have come to southern Africa at once, and the war that had lasted for more than ten years stopped, and then in Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, there were Soviet figures, these people appeared in these places that are still Portuguese colonies with sickles and hammers, and the soldiers of the Portuguese colonial army not only did not feel disgusted, but also waved their hands, according to the agreement between the Soviet Union and Portugal, these people in the Soviet Union officially came in to contact with the local armed factions, and contacted the hostility between the independent forces and the colonial army, Stop the war.
This is also what Gromyko focused on propagating on the world diplomatic stage, and the joint statement of the Soviet Union and Portugal has already written that the Soviet Union played an important role in the process of disarming the two sides, and that Portugal recognized it, so that these cadres of the Soviet Union, who wore hats and were political commissars, began to carry out their own work on the ground and reconcile the contradictions between the colonial army and the independent armed forces.
This work is also published daily in the Portuguese Communist Party's newspaper, the Progressive, to promote the Portuguese Communist Party from the side.
Several particularly high-ranking cadres knew that Lubyanka never thought that this would allow a pro-Soviet regime to emerge in the Portuguese colonies, and that once the Portuguese colonial troops withdrew, the United States would certainly support some of them in armed provocation to prevent the emergence of pro-Soviet regimes in these colonies, and their job now was to make the Soviet Union more prepared to deal with it.
Moreover, another purpose of these cadres was to spread socialist ideas in the army before these colonial troops returned home, so as to make the current pro-Soviet soil in the Portuguese army more solid. Columns of steamers departed from the ports of the Soviet Union and loaded their cargo in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, especially the backlog of goods that appeared in the planned economy, and sailed to the major colonies of Portugal.
Some of the military and civilian aid provided to the Portuguese colonies, as for the independent armed forces, all of them are military aid, in case the two sides collapse and the war continues, the independent forces supported by the Soviet Union will be even stronger, and the eggs will not be put in one basket, and Moscow will not wishfully think that it can successfully pick peaches.
The biggest difference between the Communist Party and the Socialist Party is that the Communist Party does not pay all its hopes to the pursuit of its ideals, and always holds a gun in its hands when it propagates its ideals. The Socialist Party generally has a sweeter mouth than the Communist Party, and when it really encounters the Nazis, it has almost no ability to resist, and directly kneels.
Although these backlogs of products in the Soviet Union are not very refined, the quality is absolutely worthy of the conscience of socialism. Electric fans will definitely not burn out, because the wires on Soviet electric fans are of good quality, in fact, they are very thick. Although there is not much grain, it is definitely high-quality wheat, and cold places cannot grow multi-season crops like the tropics, but one season has the benefits of one season, and the sediment of grain is much higher than that of multi-season crops, and it tastes better to carry hunger, just like Northeast rice is better than Southeast Asian rice, which is common sense.
These products improved the living conditions of the Portuguese colonial army and were thanked. There were less than a million white Portuguese people in the entire colony, and it was not a problem for these people to come to the aid of the Soviet Union.
On 14 May, the division of troops launched a fierce attack on the last line of defense of the Nguyen Van Thieu group. Saigon was the capital of Nguyen Van Thieu's group, but under the offensive of the South Vietnamese army and civilians, all defenses quickly collapsed, and unconditional surrender had to be announced on May 10, and Saigon was completely liberated. Soon, the Vietnamese military and civilians continued their offensive, forcing all the enemies of the puppet Fourth Military Region to surrender. The southern provinces were completely liberated. It was a decisive battle between the military and civilians of South Vietnam and the puppet clique of Nguyen Van Thieu. With the victory of this battle, the situation in South Vietnam was basically determined, and immediately after that, the entire military force of Nguyen Van Thieu's Fourth Military Region was also eliminated, and the whole of South Vietnam was liberated.
Colonial soldiers from the Portuguese colony and Soviet mediators who had arrived here learned the news from the newspapers and photos of the last Americans hastily evacuated Vietnam by helicopter from the roof of the U.S. Embassy. Photographs of the United States fleeing Vietnam had been circulated all over the world at this time, marking the complete defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War from President Kennedy's intervention in the Vietnam War, and the defeat was very miserable, and the South Vietnam that it supported was completely destroyed.
The local Soviet cadres took advantage of this sensational victory to quickly show that the United States was finished and completely vulnerable, and these political commissars who did not wear military uniforms took advantage of the unprecedented defeat of the United States to re-educate these colonial soldiers.
Just two days later, Spinola appointed the first provisional government, consisting of seven military ministers and two ministers each from the Communist Party and the People's Democratic Party. In the final phase of Salazar's regime, the PDP was allowed to exist as a semi-official opposition. Throughout the revolution, the CPP maintained contact with the state apparatus through the armed forces movement, and in order to enforce labor discipline and to promote the austerity program of the "production campaign" of the armed forces movement, the leader of the CPP, Γlvaro? Kanhar was appointed Minister of Careless, CPP's Avalino? Gonsaves was Minister of Labour.
"We must take the path of socialism so that we can keep up with the situation in the world, even the United States has retreated from Vietnam, and we cannot choose a backward part of society." Suarez, the leader of the Socialist Party, shouted at the crowd in the square, holding a newspaper with a photo of the hasty escape of the United States from the embassy. At this moment, a bullet hit him in the head from somewhere, killing the leader of the Socialist Party in an instant.
"Suarez is dead?" US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who had just come out of the White House, stayed where he was, knowing that the plan in hand had been nullified.
"The anti-rebel workers have to talk and count, and if they say they will shoot him, they will shoot him." Serov, who had a cigar in his mouth, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, and on the table was the newspaper where the leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party had been assassinated.
