Chapter 469: The Shackles of Egypt
The office of the chairman of the KGB has never been so lively, it is the intelligence center of the Lubyanka, the USSR and the entire socialist camp, and the security personnel who directly serve the Lubyanka are worth a million. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In terms of departments alone, the personnel of the KGB can be called a high authority, and the division of labor of the major directorates under it involves almost all important departments.
For the cadres of other departments, they are generally reluctant to have anything to do with Lubyanka, except for the fact that there are separate department cadres to stay for a while when there is something that needs the KGB's cooperation, and this is the first time that the heads of other departments have been ushered in.
"Comrade Tikunov, it's almost enough, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night after drinking so much coffee!" Serov wanted to pretend that he didn't see Tikunov's movements, but this guy went a little too far, there were not many sources of coffee in the Soviet Union, and most of the places where good coffee was produced except Cuba had to come in through smuggling channels. The key point is that Cuba cannot only supply the Soviet Union, the entire socialist camp and even China have a share, and the supply of coffee in the Soviet Union is also relatively tight.
"Serov, don't be so excited, whoever doesn't know that the funding of your KGB is the Ministry of Finance can't be asked, and besides, you still have intelligence network channels all over the world, it's easier than us." Tikunov greeted the ministers of other ministries with a chorus of approval, as if the Soviet Union had raided the homes of nobles when it was just founded.
It turned out that Tikunov was not like this when he was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why is it that he is so virtuous now? Depraved? As for what the other party said, he can be regarded as a fart, of course, the KGB's finances are fine, but it is also necessary to compare it with which department, and the oil tiger of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry came to his headquarters to cry poor, which is really embarrassing!
"Alright, let's just say what you are for! Coming for the sake of the Sultan's business? But I would like to remind our comrades that, as proletarian revolutionaries and internationalist fighters, we must pay attention to what we eat, haha......" Serov, whose face was extremely serious at first, could not help but laugh at the end.
The entire chairman's office was filled with laughter, and this smile was a little tacit, in the first place, how could a worthless place be worth the KGB's effort to plan a coup d'état, and who would care about it in a place where birds don't? The mouth is full of isms, and all I think about is business.
The ministers of these departments certainly did not come to the Rubyanka to congratulate him idly, but involved the interests of their own departments, and Serov, who was ready to go to Sudan, focused on investigating what resources they needed, and if Serov said this question, Sudan should first become a big country in agriculture and animal husbandry, supplementing the shortcomings of the Soviet Union's agriculture and animal husbandry because of the climate problem. At the latitude of the USSR, it was almost impossible to level the food and meat supplies of the United States on a per capita basis. In all fairness, the Soviet Union had Kazakhstan and Mongolia as supplements, and the conditions could not be considered too bad, and any opponent could crush them, even Brazil in South America could not do better than the Soviet Union, but the problem was that the United States had a better climate and territory than the Soviet Union.
Just like the Soviet Union has Lake Baikal, the United States has Wudalianhu, the Soviet Union has the Great Plain of Ukraine, the Kazakh steppe, the Mongolian steppe, the United States has the Great Plain of Mississippi, and the opponent has a little better than the Soviet Union in any condition, what is more in the Soviet Union than the United States, and the Soviet Union has more permafrost than the United States......
"Oil is not more than that, rare metals are also what we need, and there is the cotton producing area in northern Sudan, for the time being, I have thought of so much, if comrades need it, you can give me a report, and I will focus on investigating it when I get to Khartoum." Serov knew the interests of these departments, nothing, this was also the interests of the USSR as a whole, which did not conflict at all.
After the bosses of these departments left, Serov already had more than a dozen plans here, all of which were needed by various departments, and these people were really prepared, just waiting for him to nod, and without hesitation, they left the plans that had been prepared long ago. I believe that the same should be true on the Andropov side, which cannot be refused, nominally it is all for the benefit of the USSR.
When the two of them boarded the plane together, they took out a stack of plans in their bags, and smiled tacitly, using these plans as a spice for the journey, and they could also learn about the situation and problems of other departments from them.
"The situation is much better now, when I first came to Sudan, I went from Egypt to the border by land, and then went up the waterway to Khartoum, and at that time there was only an airstrip left in Sudan, and it was not possible to land large passenger planes." Serov, who was looking at the plan, said meaningfully.
"Your first time in Sudan? It must have been the time of the Aboud coup, right? Andropov said nonchalantly, "You should have planned the last coup d'état in Sudan, at least you expressed your support?" ”
"Well, there shouldn't be any more in the future, and the country in our hands will be built well! I hope that this is the last coup d'état in this country, and that it is better for coups to occur regularly in hostile countries...... "Serov closed the plan in his hand, and his visit to Sudan with Andropov was only a preliminary exchange, and in fact the official delegation of the Soviet Union arrived later.
The coup d'état for the United States and the Soviet Union to compete for the hot spot is absolutely not less, if according to history, next year should be the Indonesian coup, the coup d'état in Indonesia can be said to be the worst coup d'état in the Cold War, the whole tragedy is for the socialist camp, the world's third largest Communist Party, the Indonesian Communist Party with more than 3 million party members was purged, this loss to the Sino-Soviet Union is simply to the point of breaking the bones, although the Soviet Union later moved back in the Vietnam War, but the offensive of the entire Southeast Asia ended here, there is no Indonesian Southeast Asia, It is not a complete Southeast Asia, the first country in Southeast Asia is the first power, and its status is not something that ordinary countries can replace.
"Looks like you're confident in your students?" Andropov asked with great interest, "To be honest, the Central Liaison Department has relations with hundreds of forces, which are all over the world, but in fact, usually these forces will not have much success without our support, is there an element of luck in Sudan's success?" ”
Serov nodded, the Soviet Union's revolutionary output is usually a failure, of course, it is not without success, don't you think it is very successful in China? China was the biggest export of the Soviet revolution, and it is still working.
The two bosses of the external department, who were also bored on the airliner, discussed the export of revolution, and this topic immediately heated up, and Serov and Andropov were in charge of their own share, but they were both related to this topic.
"The same result, but the process is different every time, the same trick cannot be used a second time, take Italy as an example, since Italy in Western European countries have not come to power in any Western European country, it shows that the United States is preventing this situation, the same is true of the coup, this time we used the Sudanese antipathy to the civil war, instigating the students to protest first, this situation can not be used a second time, if it is changed to Iraq or any other country, those students will die long ago......" Serov told Andropov about the changes in the whole of Sudan, indicating that the omen had already appeared, but Serov, who had been sending people to keep an eye on the Sudan, seized the opportunity.
"I agree with you, the potential value of the Sultan is indeed worth the risk, not to mention that the adventure has been successful." Andropov also attached great importance to Sudan and said some of the problems of Sudan.
"Sudan also has the potential value of preventing Egypt from backlash. Egypt is the largest country in the Arab world, and this kind of country is not easy to control. But Egypt is a country, as you know, the desert accounts for more than 95 percent of the country's area, and the population of the whole country is around the Nile, the Nile River is the lifeblood of Egypt, this lifeline is more important than any oil, without oil at most the industry is not strong, without water will die. In the event that Egypt has a back-water in the future, we only need to build a dam on the part of the Nile River that flows through Sudan, and the Egyptians will die. Serov smiled and said, "This is the greatest value of Sudan, we have a firm foothold in Sudan, and if Egypt wants to be duplicitous in the future, we have to weigh it......
Once the Nile River is cut off, it will be a mortal threat to Egypt, and the greatest value of a socialist sultan is to be able to put a layer of shackles on Egypt, Egypt is fine, the Suez Canal is equivalent to the hands of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will not collapse in the Middle East at least, and the remaining question is only how many war results can be achieved.
As for the reaction of the Egyptian side, Serov also made his own assessment, in the past few years when Sudan has not become socialist, can Egypt turn back? Actually, it is possible, very simply, Nasser takes a tacit attitude towards the existence of Israel, abandons his Arab nationalism, and concentrates on being a follower, and he has the capital to oppose the Soviet Union. Historically, his successors have done it, not to be the stronghold of Arab nationalism, but to live their lives honestly. But Nasser, he doesn't seem to do that, and he won't bother too much about a coup d'état in a neighboring country given the current situation of Israel's great enemy. By the time Egypt reacts, it is believed that the overall situation on the Sudan's side has been decided.
"It's a novel angle, and I have to say that it makes a lot of sense." Andropov exclaimed after careful consideration.
On the third day after the coup d'état in Sudan, the passenger plane carrying Serov and Andropov landed at Khartoum airport, and as soon as he got off the plane, he saw that one of the members of the Lumumba alumni association was already waiting there, and immediately after seeing the two of them get off the plane, he came up and said in Russian, "Teacher, welcome to Sudan." ”
"Don't call me teacher in the future, we are friends, and what will become of this country in the future depends on you." (To be continued.) )
