Chapter 575: Proud Frenchman
Hoxha and Shehu have always had a great vigilance against Tito's Yugoslavia, and Hoxha will not forget that he was almost shot by Tito back then, which was the closest Hoxha came to death, even closer than facing the Germans in the guerrillas, until Yugoslavia was expelled from the Communist Intelligence Service, Albania has always behaved like a satellite of Yugoslavia, and Tito has always wanted to force his entire country to join Yugoslavia with an iron fist against the Albanian Party. It was www.biquge.info the Albanians' deep-seated fear of Yugoslavia that made Albania independent.
It was Stalin's conversion of Yugoslavia that allowed Albania to exist to this day, avoiding annexation by Yugoslavia, and at the same time saving Hoxha from the Yugoslav death list. So Hoxha was dissatisfied with the Soviet leadership after Stalin, believing that their evaluation of Stalin was unfair.
Relations between Albania and the Soviet Union have obviously cooled in recent years, but as long as there is an opportunity, Hoxha still wants to use the influence of the Soviet Union to keep Yugoslavia from acting rashly. Take advantage of even any opportunity.
Serov fully understands this kind of mentality, the small countries next to the Soviet Union are afraid of the Soviet Union, and even China has part of this mentality, while the small countries next to China are afraid of China, and the Soviet Union also has this kind of jealousy in their hearts. It is not surprising that Hoxha almost died at the hands of Yugoslavia because of his independent stance.
Hoxha wanted to use the Soviet Union, Serov was not angry at all, and being able to be used by others was a value in itself. The most terrible thing for a country is not exploitation, but indifference. No matter how much one country tosses, other countries will treat it as if they don't see it, and this is the saddest thing, of course, this statement is limited to big countries.
"Thank you Comrade Hoxha for your understanding, although our two countries are a little unpleasant, but after all, they are comrades in the same camp, and they should understand each other's values, the Soviet Union will not force relations between Albania and Yugoslavia, we must obey the words of the Soviet Union, and I also hope that Comrade Hoxha understands the distress of the Soviet Union, we really hope that the entire alliance will be harmonious, but there will always be some problems when getting along!" After receiving Hoxha's approval, Serov once again expressed his gratitude.
At this time, the Albanian army, like China, had no ranks, and the small country was full of Chinese advisers in all trades, including the army. The Albanian People's Army is not strong, and China will help the Albanian People's Army to build its army, and there will definitely be a group of pro-China leaders, but once the relationship between the two countries deteriorates, this group of people will definitely be ruthlessly eliminated. The liquidation of pro-Yugoslav cadres in the forties and pro-Soviet cadres in the fifties is a lesson from the past.
In exchange for an internship, Serov provided 3,000 alpha telephone systems in the name of the KGB as aid to the Albanian security services, and after meeting with the number one and two people in this small country, the Soviet KGB delegation completed its official mission, and the rest of the time was spent visiting the country's economic construction.
"There is no economic construction in this country, and his economic construction has always been waiting for assistance, working under the guidance of foreign advisers, formerly Yugoslavia, then the Soviet Union, and now China." Serov said to General Kadpov beside him.
General Kadpov, as the head of the General Directorate of the Secret Police, came to Albania for internships, and the reserve cadres who came to Albania for internship all came from the list of recognized officers of the General Directorate, and in terms of duties, it was indeed the most suitable for the General Directorate of the Secret Police to do this.
"Do we need to collect information about China's aid here?" General Kadpov asked in a low voice, asking for instructions from the top security cadres of the Soviet Union, and when there is an opportunity, the cadres of the KGB will never forget their own work.
Serov was silent for a moment, looked at the construction site in the distance and shook his head, "There is no need to estimate and collect intelligence, as long as you stay here for a while, you will naturally see everything we need to see, after all, this is only a small country of less than 30,000 square kilometers." As long as we are observant, there are no secrets in front of us at all. As for China's aid to construction, it has nothing to do with us. ”
Revolutionary aid is a special phenomenon of the world communist movement. There are two reasons for this: first, in order to get rid of the isolated situation, the Soviet Union was committed to aiding and exporting the revolution from the very beginning; Both of them, from theory to practice, are based on class, and naturally have a cosmopolitan character that transcends the state and the nation. Thus it becomes a brotherhood that transcends the state and the nation. So a series of aid programs, which are simply impossible in capitalist countries, were in the hands of the USSR and China.
The international obligation is a common thing in socialist countries, a bit like the meaning of support from all sides when one side is in trouble, and until now, Albania's largest donor country is still the Soviet Union. Of course, if the close relations between Albania and China are maintained, sooner or later the level of aid will surpass that of the Soviet Union.
China's foreign aid at this time is still to repay the image debt of the Sino-Indian war, and at this age, I don't know how much impact the Sino-Indian war has had on China, and this impact is that the countries that support China are only in single digits, while India supports nearly 100 countries behind it, and unprecedented diplomatic isolation is the basis of foreign aid, and there may be some brotherly feelings, but there are definitely not many.
For example, when it comes to aid to Pakistan, Serov doesn't believe that Pakistan has anything to do with the socialist movement, and that aid to Pakistan is to contain India, and there is something about internationalism, but it is definitely not the main reason, and the countries aided by China must have value in it.
When he came to Albania in this era, Serov was able to see the traces of China in just a few days, went to a store, sold a pack of cigarettes, opened it and smelled it, and knew that it was tobacco made in China. Due to the location of production, the environment, and the technology, tobacco in various countries rarely tastes the same. For the taste of Chinese cigarettes, Serov is probably the most familiar Soviet one.
"Since coming out today, how many Chinese have you met?" Serov, who skillfully took a cigarette in his mouth and bit the filter, asked his assistants, "If you have a vague memory of even a day, I suggest that you retire from the KGB!" ”
If, according to history, the Soviet Union would have invaded Czechoslovakia, and it was also the year of the best relations between China and Albania, it would normally be the peak of Chinese aid. Now, if not at its peak, it's pretty much the same. In a few years, China will completely replace the influence of the Soviet Union, and in fact it is about the same now.
"More than 100 people, a morning, it's really a lot. These are all Chinese consultants. Sure enough, the anti-Soviet countries liked to get together. General Kadpov assessed coldly.
Well! The taste was good, and Serov, who smoked a domestic cigarette, was very intoxicated, and said unhurriedly, "I heard that there are more than 70 aid projects carried out at this time, so it is not strange that we can see the scene of Chinese when we walk." More than a decade ago, we were the same for China, except that there were many Chinese, and it was impossible to see what we see today. ”
"Will Albania become a trump card for China, which is a member of the Warsaw Pact?" General Kadpov raised his own questions.
"No, Hoxha won't let that happen." Serov, if I'm not mistaken, when the Albanian People's Army had a pro-Chinese officer class, Hoxha took action to kill Defense Minister Baluku, and at the same time dismissed thousands of officers who were very close to China. ”
At that time, the connection between Albania and the Soviet Union was all-round, tens of thousands of students studied in the Soviet Union, including officers of the Albanian People's Army were also trained in the Soviet Union, and the influence of the Soviet Union penetrated into all aspects of Albania. If you want to talk about the blow, Albania's economy will definitely be hit, and there should be no other impact.
Unlike Soviet advisers, the Chinese they see today are all in a hurry, and they have not seen contact with the Albanians, and this character will certainly not affect ordinary people. For ordinary people, these Chinese are technicians who return to China after the work is completed. ,
In the evening, just as Serov was thinking about whether to attack the Albanian girl at the front desk, a telegram saved the innocence of the little girl, and Sakhatowsky, the first deputy chairman of the KGB, sent a telegram, "There is a change in the Bank of France, we have monitored the futures market, and it seems that the capital of the Bank of France has entered it." ”
"Let's let that little girl find a good man to marry!" Serov muttered, picked up the phone and called his assistant in and ordered, "Tomorrow when I return home, General Kadpov will continue to stay and return home as planned, do not interfere in the internal affairs of Albania, we will go back to Moscow first." "Observing this ever-changing war of capital, of course, it is best to be in your own base camp, where there is no village in front of the village and no store in Albania, and there is no intelligence source, nothing can be seen.
France was a natural challenger, and he saw the opportunity of the United States, or rather, the dollar, to be unbridled and indiscriminately disrupted because of the Vietnam War, the growing government and trade deficits, and the unbridled indiscriminate distribution of the dollar. He has made very careful preparations for this plan, and now that the United States is unable to respond to the Tet offensive in Vietnam, it is the best time to launch it. (To be continued.) )
