Chapter 431: Plotting the Sultan

Regarding Indonesia, Serov has been torn between active and passive defense, mainly because the country is too far from the Soviet Union and surrounded on all sides by the sea. The Soviet Navy was in a weak position compared to the U.S. Navy, as evidenced by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Moreover, Serov actually can't assess what this Indonesian president wants to do, but one thing is more certain, this guy is far from being as great as people evaluate, and there is no essential difference between Gaddafi and Saddam, Sukarno can be anti-American, but he can also be anti-Soviet as long as conditions permit.

If the Indonesian Communist Party softens its approach to Sukarno, it is likely to suffer the same tragic fate as it has historically. It's just that this time the person in charge was replaced by Sukarno instead of Suharto, so the best way for Sukarno is the same as in history, after seizing power, at least Sukarno must be put under house arrest as a public servant, and if you are not honest, the best way is to kill him.

Recalling the historical Indonesian coup d'état, Serov always felt that there were some suspicious points, the coup d'état launched by the Indonesian Communist Party was like a self-defeating move, and the CIA probably planted a nail in the Indonesian Communist Party, misleading the Indonesian Communist Party's assessment of Indonesia at that time, and then hurriedly launched a coup d'état to kill the pro-American Indonesian Army. According to later results, the Indonesian Communist Party overestimated its influence on the army and was soon purged by Suharto by force.

At present, the pro-Soviet forces in Indonesia are the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he single-handedly established to protect Suharto, and this matter is operated by Serov himself, so the Soviet Union does not seem to have the time to deal with Indonesia on the surface, and has been observing the movements in Indonesia through the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the shadows, and the pro-China is the Indonesian Communist Party, and there are not a few Chinese in the Indonesian Communist Party, so it has affected the thinking of the Indonesian Communist Party to a certain extent. And pro-American is the Indonesian Army, and the United States does not give tens of millions of dollars in aid every year.

Historically, China and the United States were the main players in Indonesian politics, and the Soviet Union was more often just a spectator, and the final result was clear to Serov, and China was far from being an opponent of the United States in this regard. If the Soviet Union still does not mix in and let China play freely, as it did in history, the result will be the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party.

If we say without emotion, the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party is nothing more than a by-product of the defeat of the struggle between China and the United States, and another by-product is naturally the rolling heads, which are of course all members of the Indonesian Communist Party. It is generally believed that at least 500,000 people died because of the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party, and if you add in the number of Chinese who died, there should be millions of Chinese.

It's just that the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party this time is far less well-known than a certain event in later generations, in fact, compared with this incident, it was just a drizzle in 98 years, and the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party directly caused the defeat of the socialist movement in the largest country in Southeast Asia, and this loss could not even be compensated for by the victory of the Vietnam War.

"Where's the point of intervention?" Serov touched his chin, first of all he could definitely conclude that Sukarno was inclined to be a dictator personally, but it didn't work out, and then Suharto took the blame for the economic failure and whitewashed him again.

After thinking about it for a long time, Serov knew that it was time to carry out his old business again, and it was necessary to develop an informant of no low rank in the Indonesian Communist Party, so that he could monitor the movements of the Indonesian Communist Party and prevent things from happening When the Soviet Union did not know about it, it was too late to intervene.

In order to prevent problems in the two countries at the same time, he must first solve one country next year, and through the assessment of the situation in the two countries, Serov convened a meeting of the Presidium of the National Security Committee of the USSR and formally submitted the Sudan issue to the presidium meeting for discussion.

"The land and agriculture of the Sudan are too important to us, General Aboud seems to have the intention of balancing the pro-Soviet forces, this is not a good tendency, I hope that within a year the Sultan will not bother us, our grain is controlled in a vacillating regime, which is equivalent to the problem of feeding our people has not been solved, comrades, how long do you think we need to prepare!" In front of all the members of the KGB Presidium, Serov said in a solemn tone.

It is not easy to find a country with few people and a stable climate, although northern Sudan is not a treasure of feng shui, but the impact of the rainy season in Africa is relatively low, and it is already a good place. If Sudan is lost, and Africa is left with a group of tropical countries with a half-year dry season and a half-year rainy season, will that place be able to start modern agriculture? Maybe, but certainly won't be that easy.

"One year, it doesn't seem to be a tight time!" Itvasov muttered to himself and said, "But how do you prepare?" When is the easiest time to guarantee a success rate? ”

"The preparations must not be done by the forces of the Sudan against General Aboud themselves, to be honest this matter is very important, I do not trust the capabilities of the Sudanese!" Serov thought for a moment and said, "Let's hand it over to the First General Bureau for intelligence support." We assisted Sudan in completing this coup d'état, and it is always unsettling that Sudan does not become a socialist country! ”

"Okay, I'll immediately order intelligence gathering across Sudan to the British Africa Division, but who exactly will I support to carry out the coup?" Sakhatowski simply agreed to the intelligence gathering work and asked his own questions.

"It must be someone who has a good impression of the Soviet Union, otherwise it will be just another military leader, and the coup d'état will not make any sense! Are we going to have a second disruption? Since it has been done, the matter will be settled once and for all, and from the African point of view, as long as the soldiers of a battalion are united, a coup d'état can be considered. ”

It's not that Serov looks down on Africa, but that's the case, coups in Africa are basically every year, and even officers below the rank of major can set off a coup d'état, and there have been nearly 100 large and small coups in Africa from the beginning of Africa's independence to the end of the century. Coups d'état occur on the continent with such frequency that it is simply frightening.

The reason for this is that some African countries have strong tribal cultures, large differences in religious beliefs, and uneven regional development, so they have become fertile ground for military coups.

Africa has been subjected to colonial plunder for a long time, and after the war, it has achieved political independence without real economic independence, resulting in its poverty problem not being solved; Economic backwardness restricts the development of the legal system and leads to the relative imperfection of the country's political system. The imperfection of the national political system led to frequent civil wars and coups.

From an ethnic point of view, most African countries are multi-tribal and multi-ethnic countries, with intricate tribal contradictions and extremely fierce struggles between various tribes over state power. As far as the external environment is concerned, out of the needs of their own political interests, some Western countries have used loans, aid, propaganda and other means to peddle Western ideas to African countries, affecting the unity and stability of African countries, and this is the external cause of turmoil, civil war, and coups d'état in African countries.

The economy of the colonial period was forced to serve the suzerain, forming a single mode of production of cash crops and minerals. Such as copper and rubber from the Congo, coffee and tea from Kenya, peanuts from Ghana, cotton from ********, etc. and has long inhibited its industrial development, making it dependent on Western industrial manufactures and capital.

This was a legacy of the colonial era, and due to long-term repression and weak economic strength, Africa's founding presidents, despite the fact that most of them adopted a series of state-led, socialist-tinged economic development and welfare measures, often fell into crises due to insufficient national strength, which gave the officers an excuse.

In his last life, Serov happened to see a material about coups d'état in Africa, and the country at the top of the list was precisely the Sudan he targeted, and there were fourteen military coups, including four successes including General Aboud.

"It's too late to prepare this year, so our plan must have a result next year, but we can't delay the plan to import grain from Sudan next year, so we must wait for the Sudanese grain harvest before it can be carried out, Sudan will enter the rainy season in November, so we plan to implement it at the latest before October next year, so as not to delay the country's grain imports!" Got it? Serov looked at his colleagues and said, "No matter what happens next year, we must act!" ”

"Understand, a year is enough time for us to find out the weakness of the Sultan, but he is just a soldier. When the time comes, we will use the topic of the civil war in Sudan to encourage people to take to the streets, and as soon as Aboud sends soldiers to disperse the demonstrators, we will do it immediately! Sakhatowsky said in an affirmative tone, "This will give a better impression to the outside world and will not immediately arouse the suspicion of our opponents!" ”

"Yes, let's do it then!" At this meeting of the KGB Presidium, Serov and his KGB leaders specially formulated a plan to overthrow Sudan. The investigation among Sudanese officers and students who studied in the Soviet Union was handed over to the First Deputy Director of the Main Directorate of Internal Espionage, since Lieutenant General Serdyuko was still in Primorsky Krai and had not returned.

During this year's time, the General Directorate of Internal Espionage will investigate all the students and officers in the Sudan who studied in the Soviet Union, and find out who can control the Sudan, as for the fate of General Aboud, it will depend on the consideration of the coup d'état, if he is lucky, General Aboud may have a better fate than his predecessors, and he does not have to pay the price of his life.

"Hey, I'm Serov!" In the hottest season of the year, Serov, who was blowing a fan, lazily picked up the phone, and then a spirit whispered, "You must keep it secret, don't go out of Gatz this year, I will go to see you then!" (To be continued.) )
