Chapter 235: Celebration
"General, it seems that we have some problems!" Seeing Serov's unhappy face, Lukani wanted to say something to distract her boss, but found that she didn't know what to say.
"I want to kill the leaders who don't go my way! Now, now, now, right now......" Serov suddenly lifted his foot and lifted the barrel in front of him far away, muttering two expletives fiercely. Fortunately, the people around me are all Soviets, so they won't leak the news.
Most of the leaders of the Algerian National Liberation Front are absolutely qualified, at least have a clear understanding of the current balance of power with France, and this pragmatic leader has undoubtedly become a stumbling block to Serov's purpose, and a different position is naturally Serov's enemy, and it is absolutely intolerable that an independent organization of a small country should stand in the way of the Soviet Union.
Standing in place for a few minutes, Serov took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions and said, "Go back to the barracks first, I'm talking, I have to think of a way!" ”
The world's first artificial satellite was launched by the Soviet Union, and the time was this year, but Serov did not know much about the specific months, and three-quarters of this year has passed, and the Soviet Union will soon launch a successful satellite, and the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space will begin soon, and the United States Serov will not be able to control it, and the Soviet Union's investment in the aviation industry will definitely become larger and larger, and the funds of various departments of the Soviet Union will definitely be much tighter than now.
The Soviet Union's economy was inferior to that of the United States, and the investment in the aviation industry affected the work of many departments, and the KGB was the department that spent the most money except for the Ministry of Defense.
"Algeria?" Serov, who returned to the barracks, lay on his desk in a strange position, as if he had adjusted his body before adjusting his thinking, and these leaders cast a shadow over Serov's career as an arms dealer, and Serov, driven by interests, first put socialism aside and decided to think about the problem in an imperialist way.
In the life of the KGB, the easiest way to solve the problem was to solve the source of the problem. A phrase that became popular in the Russian Federation after the collapse of the USSR in later generations is very interesting. Yeltsin was asked what if the people asked questions? Yeltsin's answer was to get rid of the people in question......
This kind of dialogue is very much in line with the KGB's working mentality, and if someone is against the Soviet Union, the easiest way is to kill this person who is against the Soviet Union, if this is Eastern Europe. Serov will not talk nonsense at all, and he would have sent people from the Operations Enforcement Department to come out and kill all the leaders who dared to discooperate with the USSR, but unfortunately this is Africa.
Serov changed his posture and thought that the Soviet Union did not have much power in Africa, and it was far inferior to the colonialists. Colonialists? Serov slowly sat up and said secretly, "I can't do anything about those Algerian leaders, but aren't the French still there?" Is it to kill people with a knife or to cooperate with the French in an open and honest manner? ”
In order to distinguish it from Britain's MI6, the KGB adopted one of the names, called the French Intelligence Seventh Bureau, and all intelligence services work the same, and the intelligence officers of the Seventh Intelligence Agency steal intelligence in France and around the world, secretly open diplomatic mail parcels, secretly photograph missile bases and plan subversive activities, and use various means to bribe and assassinate foreign political dignitaries. The comprehensive collection of foreign political, economic, military, scientific and technological, and terrorist intelligence is no different from the work of the KGB of the Soviet Union and MI6 of the United Kingdom.
The intelligence services of the major powers are not always in a hostile state, and they can join forces to destroy a common enemy when necessary, depending on whether the two sides have the will to cooperate. The vast majority of France's colonies were concentrated in Africa, that is, French Africa in the usual sense, and Serov had reason to believe that the intelligence network of the French Intelligence Seventh in Algeria must be very strong, which could be the basis for cooperation between the two sides.
"Philip! I didn't know you in vain! Serov remembered the stinky consul general in Alexandria, this guy had shown his attitude towards the Algerian War of Independence when they first met, and maybe Serov could meet him again. As for why he didn't talk to the French ambassador directly, it was because Serov had never met the French ambassador, and people didn't necessarily believe him, and now it was the first cooperation between Serov and the French. It's better to find someone with a familiar face.
"No, you still have to do some more preparation to be prepared!" Serov still had to resist his impulses first, or he had to make an all-round plan first, first of all, to investigate the attitude of the current French. Serov allowed domestically created disinformation to spread in Paris, either through the disinformation department of the First Directorate and the Soviet Ministry of Petroleum Industry, or through some left-wing scientists. The false information that condensed the efforts of the two major departments of the Soviet Union made it impossible for some geologists to distinguish the true from the false.
For French scientists, the First Directorate took a rigorous scientific stance and used all kinds of data to convince these French scientists that there were so many resources under the land of Algeria, and for ordinary Frenchmen, the First Directorate adopted another strategy, directly signed in the newspapers and periodicals, and the headlines were very eye-catching, and another Persian king, who could solve France's energy problem once and for all, was not uncommon, and it seemed that as long as Algeria was occupied, France will not worry about energy for hundreds of years.
The French government did not know exactly how this material came to be, but it immediately became clear that it was a very good thing for the government, which had always taken a hard line against Algeria's independence. All of a sudden, there was a stir of discussion among the French people, and the current public opinion seems to be overwhelmingly in favor of the French government's position. I have to say that this time the First General Directorate did a very good job, this punch directly hit the soft underbelly of the French government, in order to get the people to support the suppression of Algerian independence, the French government acquiesced in this remark that no one can prove to continue to spread.
In fact, if the French government can afford to pay the price, Serov can consider finding an opportunity to sell the leadership of Algeria to the French, and it all depends on whether the French can give Serov the conditions that he likes.
Serov, who is fighting on three fronts, is constantly receiving intelligence from Iraq, Syria, Algeria, and Sudan in Cairo, and is ready to make the next step of deployment; among the four countries, Syria is progressing the most smoothly, and Iraq's progress is slow, but it only needs an opportunity, and the Sudanese side only needs to follow the steps step by step, and the only one that encounters difficulties is Algeria.
In October, there was a heated discussion about Algeria in France, and at this time, all the political forces in France recognized the French government's efforts to keep Algeria on the French map.
Serov pinched the time and felt that it seemed that it was time to go out to talk to Mr. Philip, and at this moment Lukani came in and took out a telegram, "General, the headquarters is urgent!" ”
"Urgent electricity? Something's wrong! Serov opened the telegram without feeling his head, and his face changed instantly, "Inform the head of the military advisory group, Major General Battov, the consulate in Alexandria, and Colonel Igor in Aswan!" All of us are on holiday, ready to wait for the TASS report! ”
The message on the telegram was simple, but the meaning was extraordinary! On 4 October, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial Earth satellite from the Baikonur launch site and put it into orbit, ushering in a new era of spacecraft exploration of outer space.
The KGB received the news a little earlier than TASS, so Serov was given ample time to prepare. Moscow radio broadcast a statement from TASS on Friday night: The USSR launched an Earth satellite. The USSR has been conducting research work and experimental design work for several years in order to create an artificial Earth satellite. It has long been reported in the newspapers that the launch of the Soviet Earth satellite was planned in accordance with the research program of the International Geophysical Year. Thanks to the intensive work of research institutes and design institutes, the world's first artificial Earth satellite has now been created. The first satellite was successfully launched in the Soviet Union on 4 October.
"According to preliminary information, the satellite rocket gave the satellite the necessary orbital speed of about 8,000 meters per second," said Moscow Radio. Currently, the satellite is orbiting the Earth in an elliptical orbit. In the sunrise and sunset sunlight, its flight can be observed with the simplest optical instruments such as binoculars and small telescopes.
Serov and Major General Battov waited together for the official announcement from TASS, and when they heard the news of the successful launch of the world's first artificial satellite on the radio, the entire military advisory group of thousands of Soviet officers boiled, not all of these officers understood the meaning, but they were all proud of the longevity of their homeland's pioneering history.
"The whole base is on vacation for three days, and you are in a state of complete freedom for three days!" Serov shouted with a loudspeaker, "Comrades take advantage of these three days to have a good rest, our task has not yet been completed!" (To be continued.) )
