Chapter 148: A Visitor from Leningrad
Naturally, the BT-7 fast tank is not as good as the French tank, although they both weigh 15 tons and are thin-skinned tanks. But in terms of fire control and technology, it is not a thing of the times at all, but the BT-7 fast tank on the Soviet side is just a defective product that occupies a lot of space in China, but it is not a thing of the same status as the AMX-13 tank! Even if it's five for one, it's enough to make the French feel distressed! Besides, Serov didn't let the Algerians and the French fight tank battles, isn't this still the artillery of an artillery corps, it's really a traditional positional war! The Algerians received no worse support than the Vietnamese. War is not one-on-one, who said that tanks must be against the gang?
In the telegram to the Kharkov plant, Serov gave his hope for the transformation index, that is, to find a way to increase the speed of the BT-7 fast tank, and there is no other requirement! Armor can be removed, defense can be sacrificed. But the speed must be fast, even if the BT-7 fast tank fire control is limited by the gap of the times, it cannot hit the AMX-13 tank, but it is necessary to make the opponent unable to hit itself, it is really not good, there are Egyptian T54 and T34 tanks as a backup. Even if the Soviet Union is gone, it will not be distressed.
"I seem to be the representative of the Soviet Union at this year's Olympics!" Serov suddenly remembered the task he had accepted last year, so this year's trip could not be said to be easy. Although the year has just begun, he will go abroad at least twice, so the question is, should he go to Indonesia or Italy first?
This question can be considered later, Serov is busy translating textbooks! No one in the entire Soviet Union is more suitable for this job than him, because this set of teaching materials is in Chinese, and there are two parts, the first part is called the countryside surrounding the city, and the second part is called On Protracted War! After more than six years in the KGB, this was the first time he had done such serious theoretical work. You know, he doesn't even want to write a review.
On Serov's desk, there were piles of Iraqi receipts collected by the Middle East Department of the First General Directorate as references for his translation work, and when the results were produced, they were given to the Iraqis by Azerbaijan! At least it is absolutely useful for the countryside to surround the cities, and Iraq is also an underdeveloped country. The rural population is far larger than the urban population. With the support of the majority of the forces, there is no reason why they will lose, of course, provided that the Iraqi Communist Party has that material, otherwise no one can save them.
"Director, the list of personnel sent by Deputy Director Roman, take a look!" Lukani pushed open the door and walked in softly, piling up another pile of papers on the already full table.
"Got it, I'll see it later!" This is the list of anti-rebel cadres that Roman has found from the GRU, and these people are very willing to work again. Instead of staying in the GRU and doing nothing, these old comrades are very affectionate to the KGB and are a rare asset of the KGB.
In these files, Serov wants to select a group of cadres who are still in good health and follow him to visit Indonesia! The trip is scheduled for this year, but I don't know if it will be in the first half or the second half of the year, and the purpose is naturally to prepare to help the Indonesians establish a real Ministry of Internal Affairs, rather than their own nominal security agency.
"I'm really a prophet. If you say that you will be tired of being a dog this year, you will definitely be tired of becoming a dog! After a couple of jokes, Serov once again buried himself in the sea of information. Hungry to absorb the information he needs, if he had this energy in his previous life, he wouldn't have even failed to get into high school! Definitely went to a prestigious university, entered a top 500 company, was promoted and raised, and married Bai Fumei. Walk to the top of your life!
At present, there are several documents that must be seen in person, the KGB overseas enterprises in Italy, the casinos in the United States, and all the KGB profitable projects around the world! Then there is the situation of the civil war in Iraq, and the balance of power and the deduction of the relationship between the various factions! The extent of the radiation of the Aswan military base in Egypt to Africa, the development plans of Sudan and the report of the strength of African guerrillas! And the homework done in the planned visit to Indonesia! Finally, with the recent arrival of Algeria, it can be said that Serov spends a morning just looking at the problem and not giving any opinion. What's more, he's still trying to figure out how to solve the problem.
In the past few days, he has been translating Chinese materials to cooperate with Iraqi intelligence, preparing to distribute teaching materials to the comrades of the Iraqi Communist Party, and first unify their thinking! The experience of the Soviet Union is not suitable for Iraq, and it would be quite suitable if the object of the export revolution is Greece or Argentina, but the experience of Iraq or China is more consistent, but it still needs to be corrected through the feedback from the First General Administration! It is hoped that the Iraqis can learn well the patience of the Chinese and the power system of the Soviet Union, as long as the Iraq revolution succeeds, the benefits of the Soviet Union will be enormous, and no one will be able to blockade the Soviet Union that rushes to the Persian Gulf......
With Iraq as a guide, there is no need to risk finding other routes to break out, so that the world island of Eurasia will be firmly controlled by the Soviet Union, and as long as China and the Soviet Union do not turn to hostility, the Soviet Union in the Cold War will definitely not lose! At least it's a draw too!
If Serov had woken up in Russia in the nineties, he would have to find a way to live! If he woke up in the eighties, he would have found a way to keep the Soviet Union from disintegrating, and if it had been in the seventies, he would have to find a way to maintain the balance of power in the Cold War. But if it's the fifties and sixties, it's not a question of self-preservation! This era was the Soviet Union's room for maneuver and public opinion was at its best, and Serov wanted not only to keep the socialist movement going, but also to defeat the United States head-on! Win the Cold War, whoever stands in the way of this process will die!
If the Cold War was only a confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, Serov would never have gone to great lengths to subvert the third world countries, but no, the United States alone could not overwhelm the Soviet Union, the problem was that the overall strength of the camps of the two sides was too poor. He would have liked to support China in a one-sided way, but no one else would have agreed! In the past life, many Chinese people thought that the Soviet Union was too strong and put too much pressure on China, but in fact, they always ignored that in fact, the Soviet Union also thought so, and the Soviet Union had too many Chinese population but bordered the sparsely populated areas of the Soviet Union, giving the Soviet Union too much pressure.
This pressure is mutual, China is afraid that the Soviet steel torrent will come to the city for a week, and the Soviet Union is also afraid that China will move north, you must know that the Soviet Union's Siberia only has the Trans-Siberian Railway as a connection, and this railway is too fragile. As long as China dares, the Soviet Union really has no choice, and both sides will scare each other half to death at the border, but putting on an offensive posture to deter the other side is more meaningful.
When Serov was working all night to study his thoughts, the military advisory group of Warsaw, Korzinski and the Polish People's Army was already gaining momentum, and some gossip was circulating, such as that the Soviet Union had been targeted by the United States and that Poland had to be relied on to break the deadlock! The news of the Soviet Union's plea to Poland not to publicly form a military advisory group is spreading among the members of the Polish People's Army who have entered the military advisory group, and these KPA officers scoff at this cowardly behavior of the Soviet Union, secretly mocking the Soviet Union's foreign power and internal cadres who have been frightened by the United States, and this time they will rely on Poland!
Such rumors did not bother Serov in Moscow at all, can he say that the initiator of these rumors is himself? Not at all! Without playing some petty tricks, how could these Poles rush to their deaths? It's just a little chicken soup for the soul, and if you are scolded twice, you won't lose two pieces of meat! Feel free to ...... as long as the Poles are happy
By the same time Serov had finally finished copying the two tomes, nearly 2,000 members of the Polish military advisory group had arrived in Yugoslavia, showing unprecedented efficiency, and were preparing to embark from Yugoslavia and enter Egypt. Later, Serov was stunned when he got the news, sometimes having an ally who jumps like this can save a lot of trouble, such as this time!
Before he could express his feelings, the phone on the table rang, and when he picked up the phone, he heard Xie Lepin's voice coming from inside, "Yuri, come to my house tonight to sit down, there are guests coming!" ”
"Got it, old secretary! Who is it? Serov asked, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"Comrade Tolskykov, he doesn't come to Moscow very often, so everyone is ready to get together!" Sherepin hung up the phone when he spoke late!
Tolskykov, first secretary of the Leningrad City Party Committee! He and the first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, Yegorechev, are friends of Sherepin in the government, Sherepin himself is the chairman of the KGB, Serov has worked in the KGB for many years, and Tikunov is also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Goryunov, president of TASS, and Meshatsev, chairman of the Soviet Radio and Telecommunications Commission, were the heads of the propaganda department of the Sherepin clique, and these people, including Serov, formed a group that included the government, secret agents, reserve cadres, and propaganda departments, although it was only just beginning to take shape.
In Sherepin's group, Serov is currently in the top ten, and the people who are higher than him are these friends who have been with Sherepin for a long time, including Tolskykov! Originally, Serov thought that Sherepin's home would be very lively tonight, but he did not expect that in addition to Tolskykov and a Leningrad cadre with him, there were only four people: Sherepin, Semychasny, Serov, and Yegorechev.
Tolskykov came to Moscow to discuss something with Shelepin, in fact, Serov did not care, he paid more attention to the young cadre next to Tolskykov, and first asked, "I don't know who this comrade is?" ”
"Romanov? Grigory? Vasilyevich, I am the secretary of the Leningrad Kirov District Committee, just call me Romanov! Serov's eyelids moved slightly and shook hands with Romanov, who was the man who once competed with Gorbachev for the throne, and was ordered to retire by Gorbachev after defeat. (To be continued.) )
