Chapter 298: The Road to Friendship
"Let's reunite with my family, I will arrange the work in the future." Pulling Colonel Abel into the car, leaving the bridge of spies in a puff of smoke, the Soviet Union will not be unjust to this kind of talent, Colonel Abel will still serve in the KGB in the future.
This kind of unique award made the American representatives who had not yet left stunned for a while, I had heard that the Soviet Union attached great importance to secret agents, but this kind of scene was still somewhat unexpected, what is this? Do spies worship?
"Our opponent really did not hide this at all, and it was the first vice chairman who came to meet him personally." Wilkinson sighed that among the leaders of the KGB who often appeared, the Americans probably knew more about the agents of the Soviet KGB. Serov was the person who appeared the most among them, and naturally he was also the person that the CIA paid special attention to, but he did not expect that the first deputy chairman of the KGB would appear directly in this exchange.
Naturally, Americans could not understand the importance that the Soviet Union attached to this aspect, and what qualifications did an organization that even the arrested agents dare not admit to make those overseas spies desperate? Wilkinson thought the exchange was just a special case, but as time went on, Americans knew that it would be a normal event in the future.
As long as a Soviet agent leaks and is captured, the first reaction of any KGB leader is to rescue, and if he can't be rescued, he will be exchanged, and if no one can be exchanged, he will be kidnapped. With so many Americans all over the world, the KGB will eventually achieve its goals.
Sherepin only regarded the KGB as a step up to his own level, and it is fair to say that Semychasny was much more attached to the KGB than Sherepin. Serov also made this clear after a detailed discussion with Colonel Abel, "The change of the leader of our department does not mean that our policy will change, our position is still the same, that is, to steal the good things of the enemy, Chairman Semychasny has already called." Very attentive to your affairs. I believe that Rubyanka Plaza XI is preparing a welcome party for you......"
"Thank you, Chairman Shemychasny, and thank you, First Vice-Chair. Even in the most difficult moments, I firmly believe that the country will not give up on me, and it turns out that my choice is right, and I have no regrets. "Colonel Abel had changed into a military uniform by this time. The twilight on his body seemed to disappear all at once, restoring the demeanor of a contemporary spy king.
"Of course, the country will not give up any hero who sacrifices for the country, even if the country is temporarily restrained and unable to deal with your affairs, and we anti-rebellion workers in the country will rescue you. This will not change because of the change of leadership. As an anti-rebel worker, we will not give up on anyone. Nothing to do with it, just because you are our comrade. "On the platform of the Berlin railway station, Serov personally took Colonel Abel back to Moscow on the train.
Slowly watching the train move away, Serov raised his head in a thoughtful look, and after a while disappeared into the bustling platform. Before Colonel Abel arrived in Moscow, Major General Mendelev, Deputy Head of the Operations Executive Department, received a telegram from Serov from Berlin, the message of which was simply to kill the person who had arrested Colonel Abel.
Serov is more familiar with his opponents, and because the US intelligence agencies prevent the emergence of too powerful intelligence agencies, the method adopted is to constantly create new departments to disperse the power of the intelligence agencies. This is different from the Soviet Union, although Serov has also been in charge of specific things in the new General Directorate. But all the Directorates were subordinate to the KGB of the USSR. When it comes to confrontation with the United States, sometimes the KGB doesn't know who it's up against. Today you may face the CIA, tomorrow you will face the FBI, and the day after tomorrow you may change to the Homeland Security Agency, the National Geographic Intelligence Agency, and so on.
If Serov is not mistaken, there will be more and more of these intelligence agencies in the United States, and by the time his memory of his last life is discontinued, there seem to be 16 intelligence agencies in the United States at the same level that are not subordinate to each other. If these departments were all centralized and under unified command, the energy that could burst out would be no worse than that of the KGB. However, not being subordinate to each other will lead to mutual concealment and even competition for power.
The CIA and the FBI have not been at odds with each other, and Serov is not afraid of such an organizational opponent, unlike the United States. The KGB is undoubtedly the center of the Soviet intelligence system, and has the right to direct the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the GRU, usually the head of the GRU is assigned by the KGB, although there is no clear rule in this regard, but this is indeed the general rule, if General Serov cannot survive the crisis this time, Semychasny may have to consider appointing the next GRU director.
"This time you Stasi can play a role, the Federal Republic of Germany is Germanic, you GDR are also Germanic, since your family members across from you want the Turks to do their labor, I think the GDR can help them appropriately." Serov, who crossed his legs, was sipping coffee very leisurely, this was not forcing the GDR, at this stage the GDR and the USSR were in the same camp, and if they wanted to be reunified, they could only follow the USSR. In other words, the outcome of the Cold War determined what kind of life the GDR would live, and everyone knew the benefits of reunification, but the GDR, of course, preferred to unify itself and not the other way around if there was a choice.
"I am ready to contact other comrades to open the railway along the line to help the Turks enter the Federal Republic of Germany, the report I have already written, and there will be an answer soon." Serov, who had finished drinking the coffee, licked his lips and said meaningfully.
"Well, I'll liaise with the rest of the ministry and open the borders for the Turks to enter the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany." Geographically, it is certainly much more convenient to come directly from land than by boat. As long as Eastern Europe doesn't mind, the Federal Republic of Germany is willing to save costs, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
"I'll ask the First Directorate to forward the relevant documents to you, we need the kind of laborers in the poor, religiously rich areas, and the Turks around Constantinople are not suitable, because the religious atmosphere there is not strong." Serov is determined to contribute to the pluralistic societies of Western Europe, and no one can stop him.
"Constantinople?" Markus Wolff did not understand what Serov meant, and added, "Istanbul? ”
"No, it's Constantinople." Serov corrected unhurriedly that Istanbul is the name of Turkey, and who admits that it is a Turkish place? In the future, the name Sovietgrad is also better than Istanbul. If the city can be exchanged for Brezhnev sparing himself, then Brezhnevgrad can too.
"This time we need the full cooperation of the KGB and your Stasi, maybe in fifty years we will march in the name of liberating Europe, and then maybe the people will welcome the people wherever the army passes. Don't think I'm joking, the future depends on what we do now, when the peaceful population of those countries is a tenth, or a little more, and who can guarantee that these capitalists, who are happy now, will still be able to laugh? "At such a critical moment, Serov is not stingy with a little chicken soup for the soul of his companions, and he will have anything if he follows the Soviet Union.
The advantage of having a memory of the future is that Serov knows what changes are beneficial to the USSR and what are bad. This effort by the countries of Western Europe to build a pluralistic society was beneficial to the Soviet Union. Today the Federal Republic of Germany and those countries of Western Europe are happy because of the savings in labor costs, and later there will be times when they cry.
In fact, the Federal Republic of Germany was indeed communicating with the GDR over the import of Turkish labor, not only with the GDR, but with all the Warsaw Pact members along the route. Hoping that the Soviet Union would open up the railway lines to allow Turkish labor to come in, it would be equivalent to trapping someone to send pillows.
Serov asked the advisory department to greet the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and the GDR, and gave the green light to the Federal Republic of Germany's request to open Turkey's route into the Federal Republic of Germany. A few stops were set up, but the Turks must not be put on their own soil, and the internal affairs forces of each country were to be strictly monitored to prevent them from leaving.
This fire is meant to burn to the other party's territory, and you can't forget your position because of kindness. In fact, the shortage of people in Eastern Europe is no worse than that in Western Europe, but it is also more difficult for a socialist country to consider things from the perspective of capitalists' labor costs, and these countries will not be kidnapped by profit-seeking capitalists.
"I believe that the capitalists of the Federal Republic of Germany will be very grateful for the goodwill that we have unleashed, or a kind of demon called goodwill." At this time, the advanced nature of socialism was manifested, and with the communication of the KGB, the countries along the route were given the green light all the way to open up the line from Constantinople to Bonn in an instant. Berlin Station is the last stop on the line, where the Turks enter the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany after a break, and the route is known as the Friendship Route in the GDR.
What is efficiency, efficiency is that Serov had not even left Berlin, he had already seen a train full of Turks stop here, the GDR also welcomed the Turks, and the soldiers of the Stasi stood on the train platform in full armor, as if to shoot these Turks, and they had received orders from Markus Wolf to make sure that these people would not stay in the territory of the GDR. It must be said that this characteristic seriousness of the Germans came into play, and the soldier who received the order exemplified the good conduct of a soldier. (To be continued.) )
