Chapter 268: The Socialist Sultan

News of the coup d'état in Sudan immediately reached Moscow, and soon a more detailed telegram was sent to the Lubyanka, which naturally ended in a resounding victory for the Lumumba students. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is not a contest between the USSR and the United States, but a contest between the KGB and Sudan, and at the moment it seems that it is not very difficult for the KGB to clean up a third world country, and the result is very gratifying.

"It's worthy of being a student who specializes in brainwashing, and it's still ruthless!" The strong smell of blood, which seemed to be being able to be transmitted by telegram, was only the beginning, and the turmoil was sure to spread from the capital to the whole of Sudan, or at least to the entire Arab region.

At this time, the Sultan's purge continued, but Serov believed that the overall situation would not be changed, victory was victory, maybe the process would be a little more tortuous, but it could not change the final result. At this time, Servanov came in, and Serov said directly, "Let the Sudanese embassy provide a list of those who have a relationship with the British and American forces, and the work must be beautiful, and there can be no threat left, and the bourgeoisie will be killed for me first, and they can slowly clean up other forces in the next few years." ”

"Yes, Chairman, I'll arrange this right away, but the Kremlin will let you come there." Servanov said, "Comrade Marin, head of the General Affairs Department, said that Comrade Andropov will also go." ”

"Oh, the Sultan's business, right? Got it! For Serov, this was to be expected. The Kremlin also understands the value of the Sultan, and it is easier to understand it by calling Andropov, and Serov is half a peer with him.

In early April, Moscow was free of the bitter cold for most of the day, except for the low temperatures in the morning and evening. When entering the Kremlin, the officer on duty at the door saluted a military salute, but when you look closely, you will find the subtle differences, the guard on the left has a slight difference in his movements before saluting, which indicates that the Kremlin is not in danger, and if the soldier on the right does this, it shows that things are not simple.

Serov nodded and walked in with a calm look, he had to keep himself safe, in order to prevent the beheading situation of Beria from appearing to him, after carefully studying the whole thing, he was ready. Not only that, but Serov arranged for a number of KGB agents to settle down, centered on Lubyanka Square 11, and the distance to the houses of these KGB agents was visible to the naked eye, so as to prevent himself from being ambushed on certain stretches of the road.

"Comrade First Secretary, Comrade Brezhnev, Comrade Sherepin, Comrade Kosygin, Comrade Suslov!" Serov, who entered the conference room, greeted the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee present, but did not pull down any of them. In addition to himself, there is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrei? Gromyko, head of the Central Liaison Department Andropov, but the defense minister who is usually also here is not present, and it is clear that Khrushchev did not think that the Ministry of Defense needed to be brought over for this matter.

Hanging his hat on a rack, Serov's butt had not yet been hot, and Khrushchev asked directly, "Yuri, Sudan is very important for our country, what do you think of the coup d'état that just happened on Sudan's side?" ”

"It's nothing, judging by the news from the embassy in Sudan, it's a good thing that those middle-level officers came to power." Serov gave his answer unhurriedly, "Their coming to power is only good for us in the Soviet Union, it seems that our honeymoon period with Sudan is coming, and Sudan will become our closest ally, second only to the countries of Eastern Europe......"

Podgorny frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you say that?" "Podgorny actually did not know that the coup was planned by the KGB, in fact, the Presidium of the Central Committee was known only to Brezhnev and Sherepin, he did not know.

"Because most of the current coup commanders are actually my students." Serov's words surprised most of the committee members, "They are students at Lumumba University, and there are several people in them whom I used to teach ......."

Khrushchev was silent for a while, staring at Serov with an inquiring gaze and asked, "Did you plan the coup d'état in Sudan?" ”

"Yes, Aboud's junta has a neutral posture, I must safeguard the national interests of the Soviet Union, from the end of last year to now, I began to prepare in less than half a year, and now it is finally time to harvest." Serov did not hesitate to tell the truth that this coup was originally planned by him, and there was no point in concealing it.

Lying in front of the Presidium of the Central Committee, it is better to tell the truth directly, and to use lies to temporarily pass the test in the future must be to use a bigger lie circle, he does not have this experience of continuous lying in the future, it is better to admit it directly this time, anyway, this is only part of the KGB's work, but because the food problem in the Soviet Union has always existed, the risk seems to be a little bigger. But success is success, and the result is good, then no one can say anything wrong.

"It's too risky, in case of failure, our food base will be lost, but fortunately, the result is good!" Khrushchev was silent for a long time and decided not to pursue this issue, and the KGB's external work did have a function in this regard, and there were no problems.

"I just knew that I couldn't lose Sudan, so I took the risk of mobilizing forces to launch a coup d'état, so that this African country, which has the potential to become a power in agriculture and animal husbandry, can really enter our supply chain." Serov's words made Kosygin, the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, nod frequently, and if the Sultan could provide the Soviet Union with some raw materials, the benefits to the Soviet economy would certainly be obvious.

Although the United States is stronger than the Soviet Union, it does not have an overwhelming advantage, but if the allies of the respective camps of the two sides are added up, it will be different, and the United States will definitely gain the strength to crush the Soviet Union.

The line between the Eastern and Western camps is basically clear. The Western capitalist camp covers almost two-thirds of the world's industrial productive forces, and once such forces are effectively organized, the results are obvious. If the Soviet Union were to continue to maintain a balance of power with the capitalist camp in a situation where its overall strength was at a disadvantage, the ratio of accumulation and consumption, the proportion of heavy industry and light industry, and the proportion of industry and agriculture would not be in balance, and the degree of improvement in the living standards of the common people would not be directly proportional to the growth of the country's economy.

The Soviet Union will have economic problems after the 80s, because the United States has begun to integrate its population and industry, and if the Soviet Union wants to maintain the balance of power in the confrontation, it must increase investment in the military industry. Due to the lack of purchasing power for consumer goods in general, the official and real exchange rates of the ruble against Western currencies can differ considerably.

If we want this problem to be solved, we must not allow the United States to mobilize the forces of its own camp, and the Soviet Union in the sixties had this time, and even if the United States found that it could not defeat the Soviet Union alone and began to mobilize the forces of its allies, it would find that apart from Western Europe and Japan, it would not have much mobilized forces. Maybe not even Western Europe......

"Will the Sultan take the socialist line?" Suslov was more interested in this issue, and later in history Suslov became interested in exporting the revolution, but the location he and Andropov chose was more ordinary, Suslov chose South Yemen, and Andropov chose Afghanistan.

"If we are in too much of a hurry, we will leak our purpose, first use the shell of the military council to slowly eliminate the backward forces in Sudan, and when the time comes, we can turn Sudan into an ideal state." Serov's advice is not to worry, Sudan is not as dangerous as the Soviet Union at the beginning, Sudan has no obvious enemy except Egypt has a potential enemy, in this case Sudan does not need to be like the Soviet Union, imperialism will come and destroy me tomorrow, so we must immediately develop industry, life, and agriculture to stand aside. It is entirely possible to use a few years to slowly transform, not to mention that Sudan itself does not have enough experts in the planned economy. Can't afford to play the planned economy.

"That is to say, on the surface, Sudan has become a socialist Sudan." Brezhnev nodded clearly, exchanged views with Khrushchev next to him, and then said, "Then let's first let Comrade Gromyko explain our position, we will not take a position on the changes in Sudan, and we are willing to continue friendly exchanges with the new government......

Khrushchev nodded, obviously agreeing with Brezhnev's opinion, and then set his eyes on Serov and Andropov, "Comrade Serov and Andropov take a different attitude, Comrade Andropov himself is in charge of the Central Liaison Department, and those current military commanders of Sudan are students of Comrade Serov, you two secretly go to Sudan to establish friendship with the new government of Sudan, of course, relevant aid plans and technical reserves, I hope Comrade Kosygin will do some work!" In the end, Khrushchev set his sights on Kosygin.

"Got it, First Secretary!" Both Serov and Andropov nodded their heads and said they accepted the mission.

Serov, who returned to the Lubyanka, began to make preparations for a secret trip abroad, and as soon as he handed over his work, the Minister of Petroleum Industry Tikunov came to the door, and he did not come alone, the Minister of Animal Husbandry and Feed Production Machinery, the Ministry of Mineral Fertilizer Production, the Ministry of Agricultural Tractor Manufacturing, the Ministry of Geology, the Ministry of Non-ferrous Metals Industry, and so on.

"Your news is really fast, can you pay attention to the appearance of eating?" Serov said with a sweat in his head, "Why have people come to me!" In fact, what he wanted to say was to make up for shame......

"Some people also went to Comrade Andropov's side, rest assured, he was also very lively there!" Tikunov, who did not regard himself as an outsider, took out coffee from Serov's cabinet and made a cup for his own group. (To be continued.) )
