The Soviet model of the army has always been more in pursuit of the strength to take others away in waves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info wants to achieve its goals through a short war, so there is a Soviet model of the army does not pay attention to logistics. In fact, it is not that the Ministry of Defense of the USSR did not pay attention to logistics, but that there is no country in this world that can fight like the United States. Compared with the United States, the logistics of the Soviet Union, which could not be considered low, were more pitiful.

"Comrade Itvasov has done a good job, with the domestic environment of a country like Congo, once a dictator like Mobutu can't stand it, even if he goes into exile for even one day, he will not be able to come back." Serov, who received the news from the Sudanese, had a smile on his face, the Congo was the first stumbling block of the Soviet Union's strategy in Africa, as long as it was moved away, it would be smooth but almost smooth.

Other countries are underpopulated and undersized, and although Zimbabwe and South Africa are very strong in Africa, they are ruled by whites who occupy less than one of the 100,000 population, so as long as the stumbling block of the Congo is removed and the Soviet arms routes are unblocked, Serov is sure to turn these two countries into guerrilla battlefields. He can't overthrow these two countries, but it's not difficult to stop these two countries from developing.

"When are we going to do it?" First Deputy Chairman Sakhatowski asked with some eagerness.

"In two or three years, the Sudan People's Army will not be able to fight at all, told Comrade Itvasov that the Sudan People's Army must be able to guarantee a month of full combat intensity. A country like Congo can withstand it for a month. Serov thought for a moment and said, "I never had the idea of letting the Sultan destroy the Congo, I just wanted to drive Mobutu out of the Congo through a blitzkrieg and tell the pro-American leaders of other African countries what will happen if they oppose us." ”

The political strongman is not invulnerable, and later generations of Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi have clearly shown that the so-called political strongman is nothing at all in the face of war, and the political environment of the African country is not as good as that of the Arab country, and once the dictator falls to the ground, he will never rise again.

"There is only one problem, and that is the Congo's operational environment, which is one of the few countries in Africa with very rich water resources, because it flows through both sides of the equator, and is alternately fed by rich precipitation in the northern and southern hemispheres, with the characteristics of large water volume and small changes in the year, the average annual flow of the estuary is 41,000 cubic meters per second, and the maximum flow is 80,000 cubic meters per second. The Congo River is the second largest river in the world after the Amazon in terms of flow. Even if Comrade Itvasov succeeded in forming mechanized troops, there would be sufficient logistical support. But the environment there is not suitable for mechanized warfare. Sakhatowski expressed his fears, "If the war is lost, I am afraid that the Sudan may not be able to bear it." ”

"So Sudan has to be equipped with weapons that must be adapted to amphibious warfare, which is not difficult for us, and the other point is that Congo is a tropical country, and tropical countries in Africa have two seasons a year, a rainy season and a dry season, and the dry season in Congo seems to be from June to October every year, lasting four months. Of course, the work of the French Africa Division in the Congo is to find out the rivers of the Congo in the past two years, where it is easy for the mechanized army to break through, and the intelligence operation will be handed over to you, Comrade Sakhatowsky. Serov had always been on his mind, and Africa he hadn't been to before.

The Soviet Union's plans to move south in Africa would have best begun when the United States had been defeated in the Vietnam War. But this does not mean that the USSR is lying on the kang and waiting for victory. For example, Serov, after accurate calculations, felt that it would be more inexpensive to use all Soviet weapons to aid African countries, so he had to import a batch of Type 5 or 6 assault rifles from China, and then exchange them for Soviet boxes and sell them at 80% of the price of Soviet weapons.

The results were very gratifying, and Ustinov had already approached him twice for this matter, because such an act would hurt the interests of the Izhevsk military factory, that is, the original manufacturer of AK rifles. Serov can only reluctantly stop his comprador behavior, this kind of money is easy to earn, no wonder the place controlled by peanuts must destroy the industry, let the steel mill stop during the Anti-Japanese War, worthy of the great leader of my great Republic of China, the eternal perfect and empty......

In fact, the cost of military factories in the Soviet Union is higher than that of China, and many Soviet light weapons actually have no technical threshold, so they are subject to fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers, and Serov first discovered this matter in Indonesia. The large number of small arms sent by China to Indonesia makes the Soviet-made AK47 assault rifle look a little flashy.

Serov told Ustinov about this situation, and clearly told the head of the Soviet military industry that at the cost of Chinese manpower, once the competition in the field of light weapons is launched, the Soviet Union will absolutely not be able to compete with China. It is hoped that Ustinov will be able to adjust accordingly after calculating the pros and cons.

Ustinov nodded cautiously after learning about this, in fact, by 1966, AK assault rifle manufacturers had long been all over the countries of the Soviet camp, and the ongoing Vietnam War had made AK assault rifles famous, and it was expected that it would soon spread to the whole world.

A hurried phone rang, and when I picked up the phone, I heard the voice of Kadipov, the head of the General Directorate of the Secret Police, "Chairman, there is a conflict at Lenin's tomb, involving Chinese students. ”

"Speak carefully, uh-huh!" Serov sighed and said, "The environment in China is different from ours, don't take strong measures, find a comrade on Red Square to bring those dozens of people to the Lubyanka, I will talk to them and send them home." After saying that, he put down the phone and had a headache.

At present, there are still Chinese students in the Soviet Union, but there is always friction between the two countries because of Stalin's problems, because of Serov's whistleblowing, Khrushchev is still alive and kicking on the stage, so Stalin in the Soviet Union is still mainly criticized, but China is not the Soviet Union,

Before returning home, the Chinese students went to Red Square to pay respects to Lenin's remains, and at the same time laid a wreath to Stalin, which read: "Stalin is a loyal friend of the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people." The Chinese people's respect for Stalin and their friendship with the Soviet Union are completely sincere, and it is useless for anyone to sow discord and spread rumors and slander. ”

With the current environment of the Soviet Union, this kind of behavior is almost a provocation, and Serov can only downplay this matter, of course, he must let Khrushchev know about it later, otherwise it will be a ********.

In the evening, Serov went directly to the Kremlin to explain the incident, "Considering that our two countries are currently working together to fight the enemy in Vietnam, as well as China's influence in Southeast Asia, it is not appropriate to expand this matter at this time, according to my estimate, there will be foreign newspapers reporting on this matter tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I don't think we should pay attention to this obvious sowing of discord." Besides, those people are just students, and they will return to their home countries after meeting with the French students, so there is no need to cause conflict at this time. ”

"You've handled it well!" Without waiting for Khrushchev's statement, Suslov said directly, "At this stage, it is normal for us to have some arguments with the Chinese comrades, and it does not matter if we cannot convince each other. But our relations with the United States are outright enemies, and you are right to think about the big picture, we need China's help, and this is the case in Indonesia and Vietnam, so let Comrade Andropov protest to China in the name of the Central Liaison Department. I hope that nothing like this will happen again in the future, Comrade Khrushchev, do you have any opinions? After Suslov finished speaking, he turned his attention to Khrushchev.

"Obey the overall situation, okay, don't take it as an example." Khrushchev thought about it for a long time with a serious face, and let go of this matter, "But you should pay more attention to this matter, and it is better not to appear a second time." ”

"Understand, I'm going to go to the Red Flag Border Military District in a few days to check it. Especially the military districts on our border with China, see what loopholes can be filled. Serov's attitude made Khrushchev nod slightly, and the matter was considered over.

"If we find a problem, tell us directly, Yura, if there is any difficulty in the KGB, let the Central Committee know immediately, and we can solve it." Brezhnev commanded, "The security of the frontier is an important issue, you should pay more attention to it." If the border guards have difficulties, they can also communicate with the Ministry of Defense at that time. ”

"Got it!" Serov nodded and left the Kremlin, if it weren't for this incident, he would have almost forgotten that there had been a border conflict between China and the Soviet Union, and he was always at ease if he didn't go there with his own eyes.

The borders of the Soviet Union are generally the responsibility of the Red Banner Border Military District, and if a conflict really breaks out, Serov is very difficult to do, because the KGB border guards are his subordinates, will he suffer from the fact that he will not say a word at that time? So what else does he do with this chairman?

Serov, who arrived in Primorye, immediately summoned the commander of the border guards to ask questions about the Sino-Soviet border, "When patrolling the borders, especially the islands of the Amur River, it is necessary to ensure that there is no conflict with China, of course, you must also be on guard, do not suffer losses when the time comes, each patrol must reach at least 100 people, and it must be equipped with tanks, understand?" ”

As long as he has been on guard for a few years, he believes that the most dangerous time will pass, and Serov specifically mentioned some ways to avoid misunderstandings, and also asked the local border patrol team to equip Chinese interpreters, which can be regarded as a little relief of his hanging heart.

"You must understand the meaning of a calm border, we can't put too many purposes in the Far East, so it is necessary to release goodwill, and in your free time you can exchange some of our Soviet products with Chinese soldiers, this is not a violation of discipline, no matter how you say that we are all fraternal countries." Serov saw that some people were unimpressed, and said, "Tomorrow you will do this, I will watch you from behind with a telescope...... If nothing works, Serov can only visit a Chinese border city to show goodwill in person. (To be continued.) )
