Chapter 190: Aid to the Sultan

"Congratulations to the athletes of the motherland for this good result, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to help you celebrate, our Soviet Union is the first in the world, and it will be now and in the future. For example, this achievement will become the norm in our country in the future, there is no second place in competitive sports, and there can only be one country that will be the first in the overall gold medal list in the future, and that is our Soviet Union! "If you want to talk about running trains, the entire Soviet Union is not as powerful as Serov, and the way he brags is also very special, not to prove the promotion of athletes' achievements, but to show the strength of the entire Soviet Union from the side, and the final result is the same.

This, of course, has reason to be happy, Serov made a small profit of three million after calculating, and did not act in vain. At the same time, let the United States taste the taste of a failure, and from today a small rumor will circulate in Italy, Serov once challenged the American ambassador to Italy, but the American ambassador did not answer. Of course, this will not cause some real losses to the United States, but it is an indisputable fact that the gold medal table of the Olympics also shows the strength of a country. Sports power is often related to the overall strength of the country, which no country would deny.

If anyone doubts this, the Italians will not do it in the first place, because after the Soviet Union and the United States, Italy finished third in the gold medal table at the Rome Olympics, and in every sense of the word, Italy has been quite successful in this way.

Serov, who had achieved a win-win situation, found a hotel to celebrate the Soviet athletes, as long as Italy had everything for the athletes to enjoy, and at the same time patted his chest and promised that he had found a place for them to go on vacation, hoping for another brilliant future competition.

As for what the Americans will say about this defeat, Serov will not look at it, only the victors can enjoy the joy, who cares what the losers themselves think. How one day the United States loses the all-round competition with the Soviet Union, and then Serov can step on the corpses of the Americans. to argue that for 200 years the US government has been a bunch of foolish idiots, and the whole country has been a slave to the capitalists, but the advantage of its geographical location has not been hit. When the time comes, no matter how he puts on the heads of the Americans, no country will come out to speak for the Americans, and even the people of their own countries will jump out to prove that Serov is right.

The trip to Italy can also be concluded, and all the contracts have been finalized. The KGB's presence in Italy will only get stronger and stronger, and this time Serov, who has lost his blood in Italy, has at least helped the Italian government solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people, of course, this is not in vain, as long as Sherepin begins to lay off KGB agents, Serov will send those KGB cadres with rich work experience to Italy to serve as cadres in these factories.

Fair right? At least the Italian light industry also has a lot of things that the KGB is interested in, and the same electric fan, Italian products are still silent. In order to prevent Italy from not having the spirit of internationalism and not teaching itself, it is also very normal to send some agents to prevent future troubles......

At the Minsk railway station, Serov and Valya kissed goodbye. Nodding at the row of female agents behind his wife, he received a positive response. Serov, who had tidied up his clothes, watched his wife transfer to Kyiv. It has to be said that the Soviet highway network had to be renovated, and at least the European part should find a way to develop a new model of construction. Otherwise, sooner or later, such road conditions will delay the strength of the Soviet Union, and the development of the Soviet Union is greatly constrained by the geographical conditions of the cold zone, which Serov must admit.

More than eighty percent of the country's territory is covered by tundra, such as the long winter in Siberia, which was the case for half of the Soviet Union. It would be costly to build a road network in the first place. A new highway only needs to go through one season cycle, and the next year it is no different from a dirt road. The nation's highway network was anything but realistic, and the Soviet Union had been building railroads to solve this thorny problem, while constantly upgrading its domestic railways, and the electrification of railways in the Soviet Union had been ahead of the United States since the sixties. But it still can't change the disadvantage of poor logistics.

At least the European part of the Soviet Union should still promote the construction of a road network, but the highway network in Asia can only be supplemented by railways, such as the construction of a local high-speed network in Central Asia, the Far East and near Lake Baikal, relying on the Trans-Siberian Railway to maintain smooth logistics.

The construction is also affected by the climate, and the walls of high-rise buildings built further north are thicker, and the walls of Wu0 may be frozen and cracked due to the sudden cold winter, which is a huge cost. If the Soviet Union opened up the hukou system, the Soviet population of Siberia would be able to run to Europe in a few decades and never go back, and there would be no need to worry about Siberia being occupied by other countries. If they can move freely, who wants to stay in such a cold place?

It seems that since the beginning of this year, Serov has entered the Kremlin alone a lot more often, and he used to laugh at Shelepin, saying that Sherepin almost set up his home next to Khrushchev's office, but now he has become similar. The KGB was the department that most often entered the Kremlin, and all kinds of reports were handed over to Khrushchev's desk through the KGB.

"Overall, we have opened up the Italian defense with a novel design, and in the future Italy will most likely become a country like Yugoslavia, in fact it is much louder than when I was in Italy six years ago, and I am riding the wall between us and the Americans! In a sense, Europe is still at the forefront of our confrontation with the United States, and it is not easy to achieve any success, and it is not easy to dismantle the European defense line of the United States. Serov took the contracts signed with Italy for light industry, shipbuilding, and communications, and showed Khrushchev one by one.

"Yes, it can be said that a gap has been opened in the capitalist camp, and Italy is the Yugoslavia of the United States!" Khrushchev affirmed Serov's achievements in a consistently loud voice, and then asked, "But the Ministry of Communications and Equipment Industry has a little bit of a complaint about the Altai mobile phone system and cooperation with Italy, Yuri, what do you think?" ”

"There is no doubt that the Altai mobile phone system is very advanced, I never deny that! The reason why I have always insisted on including the aspect of communication equipment in the cooperation project is also my consideration! I am a KGB agent and will not do anything that endangers national security. "I want to promote the Soviet mobile phone system and squeeze out the possible knockoffs in the United States, but also because there is still a huge room for improvement in mobile phones, and our scientific research institutes are working on smaller and more versatile communication equipment, and then people in other countries will find that the Soviet Union is already better!" Countries that have already accepted the Altai system of our previous generation must be aligned with us! Because our Soviet and American technologies were completely different, and future gains were unimaginable. ”

In front of the first secretary, Serov painted a good vision, which is different from some cadres who put satellites in Khrushchev, and he is very sure that he can realize these visions.

Serov's vision of the future was of great interest to Khrushchev, who, since the second half of Khrushchev's rule, has also begun to detach himself from reality, otherwise the corn campaign in the Soviet Union would not have paid a huge price. Thinking of this, a tangled question once again appeared in Serov's mind, whether he took the initiative to go inside this mine, or waited until the matter broke out in accordance with Khrushchev's order, to strike at the pompous wind of advancing the corn movement in various places, there is no doubt that if the investigation starts from now, the Soviet Union's losses will be less, and if he waits for a year to wait for the corn movement to break out, he can make greater achievements and enhance Khrushchev's trust in the KGB.

"By the way, the first secretary, the rainy season in Sudan is coming soon, and the mountains of corn in Sudan must be stored in large warehouses in the arid areas near Egypt in the north, and Sudan's own construction industry and heavy industry are very backward, Academician Sukhachev sent back a message that if the Soviet Union does not help Sudan build a large number of giant warehouses, more than 20% of Sudan's corn production will rot because of the arrival of the rainy season." Serov took a crucial step and chose to take the initiative to mine on this issue, but starting with Sudan.

Sure enough, this kind of phalanx of curves to save the country aroused Khrushchev's interest, and if a country learned from the Soviet Union, especially from his own corn movement, Khrushchev, as the initiator, was very happy. In particular, Khrushchev, a leader who always used his personal will to govern the country, was happy to directly approve Serov's proposal, and the aid to the Sultan was immediately launched.

"I'm sure General Aboud of the Sultan will be very happy with this decision!" Serov did not hesitate to slap the first secretary on the back, and then said that he would go back to study where to build a large warehouse to help the Sultan complete the grain reserves. The main thing is that he was afraid of the corn movement in Khrushchev's country, so he had to flee from the Kremlin in a hurry, in case the first secretary of the temperamental man asked him to go to various places to investigate the corn movement.

After returning to the Third General Directorate, Serov convened a group of operational staff officers to discuss, and set the location for the construction of a large warehouse in Wadi Halfa in northern Sudan, which was already very close to the border with Egypt, which was an important place for trade between Sudan and Egypt, but Serov set the location there entirely for operational considerations, in case the domestic corn problem broke out, and the Sultan had the intention of not cooperating, it was convenient to send troops from Aswan.
