Chapter 153: News from Egypt

Ignoring Kolzinsky's eyes as if he were looking at scum, Serov continued to make an enthusiastic proposal, "Once the purge campaign begins, a large number of corrupt elements will definitely be caught, and a public trial meeting is a must!" In such a case of extremely bad influence, it is necessary to carry out public executions in order to deter the cadres! Let them not dare to continue to embezzle, and at this time, we can take advantage of this wind to deal with the counter-revolutionaries in the past few years! ”

"It's an anti-corruption campaign, General Serov!" Korzinski reminded helplessly again, "These people are all well-known people in Polish society, how can they kill them?" There has to be a reason! ”

As soon as Korzinsky said this, Serov felt that there was a drama and that he had to hit the railway while it was hot, "Once the enthusiasm of the public is mobilized, to be honest, I am afraid of myself!" It is necessary to make the masses of the people feel that they have the opportunity to punish evil and promote good, and these counter-revolutionaries are themselves enemies of the Polish People's Republic, and they are justified in righteousness! Let the people fully feel that these people are on the opposite side of the people, and you may not be able to kill them when the time comes......"

Serov seized the opportunity to communicate with this Polish Yagoda, the public in this group of prisons knows whether they are enemies of Poland, Serov does not dare to pack tickets, but these people are usually nationalists, almost the same as Gomulka, if these people are not enemies of Poland, they must be enemies of the Soviet Union, at this time, if they are soft-handed, Serov is not brainless! Although Serov has done a lot of brain-dead things by now, he has definitely made the right judgment in this matter.

"In short, I have already introduced the situation of the Soviet Union during the purge!" Serov's mouth was dry, and he quickly lit a cigarette at this time, took two puffs and continued. "Sometimes killing people does not mean that it is sinful, there are cells in a person's body that are beneficial to the human body, but there are also cells that are harmful! The duty of our Ministry of Internal Affairs is to clean up these harmful cells! ”

Serov held his head high. At this time, he has completely entered the play, and has entered the mode that if you want to deceive others, you must even deceive yourself, "If these people are released, they will definitely stand on the side of the Gomulka Group, which is a very unfavorable situation for the current government!" "Everything Serov said Korzinski can be treated as if he did not hear it, but he has to admit it. It was this last sentence that moved him and made Korzinski unable to refuse......

"All right, General Serov! I'll think about it! Korzinski looked at his posture of not saying anything, and no one was leaving, so he decisively asked Serov to stop first.

"Or Comrade Korzinsky. How can you be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I am fully aware of the seriousness of this problem! Serov deliberately mistakenly said, "I believe that Comrade Korzinsky has already made his own decision." Now I'd like to talk about the specific timing......"

"We can talk about the timing later!" Korzinski said with a headache, "I will think about this matter carefully, and I will definitely not show mercy to these counter-revolutionaries!" ”

Serov finally breathed a sigh of relief, and spent hours in the ink, isn't it just to get this sentence from this Polish Yagoda? Nationalists in these prisons, in particular, have a voice. Public intellectuals with a certain status came out as a threat to the Soviet Union, not to mention the thousands of such people. It's better to kill them all without leaving a future to come.

"Then Comrade Korzinsky. Excuse me today! Serov smiled, this kind of feeling of teaching the other party to kill is really good! Especially seeing other countries stepping into the pit that once their own country fell into, it is really sour.

When Serov returned to the barracks, he immediately saw Isemimutny and Isenmutny waiting for him in the room, and at this time Serov was not feeling for his life winner, nor admiring his charm in his heart. Rather, the leg and stomach are cramped. Dark passages; , the heroine spares her life. The villain is really bad lately......

"General, there are four telegrams from Moscow! Two telegrams from Comrade Shirekov, respectively. And a telegram from your private one! And a telegram from Colonel Igor! With a few words, Serov regained his self-confidence, scolded himself for his dark thoughts, and immediately began to see what the news was.

"Huh? Translate it for me? As soon as Serov saw the encrypted telegram, he immediately returned it to Isemotny, telling her to hurry up with the codebook for translation.

"Head! You have told me to pay close attention to the movements in Western Europe, especially in Britain and France! In recent times, the radio density between the UK and France has suddenly become much denser! When we listened to the radio source, we found that there seemed to be a military link between Britain and France, but for the time being we did not know what was going on. Some of these radio signals were destined for the Middle East, and we traced the source and found that some of the destinations were Israel! ”

Serov listened to Isemotny and thought as he read it, the Anglo-French alliance was naturally preparing for the Suez Canal War, but at this time, Egypt had not yet announced that it would nationalize the Suez Canal? So he commanded, "Read Colonel Igor's telegram!" Serov already has a guess, but he needs to be supplemented by news from the Egyptian side.

"General Serov, I have been following your wishes, bribing a large number of Egyptian officials, including General Rahman and others, with very significant results, just yesterday I heard a news, due to the seriousness of the matter, so I sent you a report directly without confirmation, it is reported that Prime Minister Nasser has decided to announce the nationalization of the Suez Canal in a week! The news is not confirmed, please judge for yourself ......"

After verifying the interception of the First Directorate and the news from Egypt, Serov had already judged that Egypt would soon return the Suez Canal, but because the matter was not kept secret, I hope that Colonel Igor would get the news, and MI6, which is on the same level as the KGB, has always known the news that Nasser is about to move. So by this time Britain and France probably already knew the news that Egypt was preparing to take back the Suez Canal.

Therefore, the radio signal between Britain and France has only become dense in the past two days, and it is necessary to discuss countermeasures, and as for contacting Israel so quickly, Serov is a little puzzled. It's a bit too early to be embarrassed, isn't it?

"Forward the telegram from Egypt to the First Directorate at once!" Serov thought for a long time and said, "Then with our analysis, Britain and France may have received news from Egypt's intelligence network that Egypt is about to take back the Suez Canal!" The Suez Canal runs through the Suez Isthmus in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, providing the closest route from Europe to nearby lands in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. It is one of the most frequently used routes in the world. The canal allowed north-south water transport between Europe and Asia without having to bypass the Cape of Storms at the southern tip of Africa, saving a lot of time. A voyage from the port of London in England or the port of Marseille in France to the port of Mumbai in India can be shortened by 40 per cent and 60 per cent respectively via the Suez Canal than around the Cape of Good Hope. So in conjunction with the telegrams from both sides, I myself make a reasonable assumption that Britain and France are preparing for a war to retake the Suez Canal, and that war is bound to break out as soon as Egypt announces the recapture of the Suez Canal! ”

Before the opening of the Suez Canal, it was sometimes possible to transport goods between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea by land by unloading them from ships. The distance between the port of Jeddah and the port of Constanta on the Black Sea in Saudi Arabia is 12,000 miles around the Cape of Good Hope, and the distance through the Suez Canal is only 1,600 miles, saving 80 percent of the distance. The distance between Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Tokyo in Japan via the Suez Canal can also save 25 percent compared to the Cape of Good Hope. One-tenth of the world's seaborne trade flows through the Suez Canal, and 35 percent of that share goes to ports along the Red Sea and Persian Gulf coasts.

Taking control of the Suez Canal is an important step for Britain and France to maintain their status at the present stage, and if the military intervention is successful, it is very likely to stop the decline of the country after World War II.

"General, isn't it too bold to speculate?" Isemimutny couldn't help but remind.

"Facts are often more bizarre and twisty than fiction!" Serov inexplicably pretended to be Wenqing, and continued, "It's not bold at all, just send a report to the First General Bureau!" What else is there to hear from Shirekov! ”

"This telegram said that within Hungary, the contradictions between Nagy and the current government seem to be getting bigger and bigger, and the two sides seem to have some intention of a showdown!" Lukani said.

"Has anyone mobilized the masses of the people?" Serov felt in his heart that the Hungarian incident was much more powerful in history than the Poznan incident, and he had to let Serov be cautious.

"Not yet, General!" Lukani's words Serov secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it has not evolved to the worst, and the Hungarian events in history are largely due to the fact that after seeing the wave of strikes in Poznan, Gomulka withstood the pressure of the Soviet Union after coming to power, and forced Marshal Rokossovsky to return to the Soviet Union, so he dared to continue to make trouble. Now that Gomulka has been killed by Serov early, and there are no Poles as a reference, I don't know if Nagy will dare to continue to listen to the words of the public intellectuals around him and make a big deal without knowing the attitude of the Soviet Union.

"It's better to keep an eye on things on the Hungarian side! Let Shirekov continue to watch! Serov simply instructed, the last telegram did not have a password, but Serov's own letter, after opening it, Serov's face continued to change, at this time it is difficult to describe his mood in one sentence, "Lao Tzu is really a kind of person......

Valya gave birth to a daughter for Serov yesterday, which means that from now on, Serov has truly formed a family in this plane, "Hmm, what's the best name?" Forget it, go back and talk about ......" (to be continued)

PS: Routinely thank you for your support! These timing points are a bit out of place, so it's stuck for a long time!
