Chapter 122: Let Him Go to Egypt

"Okay, head, do you want to call Comrade Mendelev?" Shirekov asked.

"No need, this time I just went to Hungary to have a look, I don't need Comrade Mendelev to accompany me, he also needs to manage the work of the operational execution department!" Serov thought for a moment, shook his head and said. The Operational Enforcement Division, whose full name is the First Main Directorate of the KGB and the Operations Enforcement Division of the Foreign Intelligence Division, literally does not know what this department does, which is also a characteristic of the espionage departments of various countries, that is, from the name it will always be harmless to humans and animals, in fact, the Operations Enforcement Office is the official name of the KGB Assassination Team, and Tachinsky, who killed the leader of the Italian Dawn Party, Garristi, is a subordinate of the Operational Enforcement Department.

The Executive Operations Division, which is subordinate to the First Directorate, is only a subordinate organization, and there is also the Operations Enforcement Department of the KGB Presidium, the head of which is directly under the orders of the KGB chairman, and their leaders are all equipped with the rank of general, which is considered a high-ranking operational department.

"It seems that before leaving, I should go to Gatsna City and find someone with strong ability to train well!" Serov made up his mind. A long-term assistant must be cultivated. Then quickly kick Shirekov out. Form your own network.

The name Gatzna is an English name, and Gatzna is just transliterated. It is hard to imagine that there was such a place in the Soviet Union, and in fact the name of Gatzna is not known both at home and abroad. Such a city is not marked on the map of the Soviet Union, and even within the KGB, few cadres under the rank of major general know such a place. Only the governors who directly run the city, or those who have graduated from these student agents, know.

The city of Gatzna is located 200 kilometers southeast of Kuibyshev and covers an area of nearly 500 square kilometers, which is why some people call Gatzna a city rather than a school. There are elite internal affairs units of the KGB stationed in the local area, and the approach of strict ordinary people can be regarded as putting a veil of mystery on Gatsna, even Serov himself, who has only seen it from books, knows that there is such a place in the Soviet Union. I don't know where it is.

This time I went to Gatzna, and I was only approved after an application. After Kuibyshev got off the train, Serov and his party were arranged into a special car, and the remaining 200 kilometers made Serov experience the pain that only the armored divisions of the Third Reich could experience, and he was almost vomited by the bumps......

Serov and Shirekov, who got out of the car, looked pale, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were very white, it is estimated that anyone could see that the state of the two was wrong, "I'm like asking, is Gatsna divided into many regions?" Is there a Latin Quarter? Serov first interrupted the other party's welcome and said directly.

"The Latin Quarter? Southern Europe, right? Of course! Hello Comrade Serov, I am your successor, just call me Jose! Jose said enthusiastically with a natural optimism.

Jose? Isn't that a Spanish name? I don't read much, don't lie to me! Serov was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jose with a more sense of awe, isn't this someone from the Soviet Union during the Spanish Civil War? If so, in terms of the secret service system, even if Serov himself is one of them, there is a bit of a visceral fear of the KGB.

Feeling that his stomach had protested more than once, Serov endured the abdominal pain and said, "So in terms of diet, the southern European zone is similar to France and Italy?" Well, let's start in Southern Europe this time! Shirekov nodded incessantly, agreeing with Serov's words from the bottom of his heart. The bumps along the way had exhausted the two of them, and they couldn't find anything in their stomachs except gastric juice......

Jose has received many people from Moscow, many of whom are higher than Serov, and it is the first time he has seen a guest who is about to eat as soon as he meets, so shouldn't he have a routine inspection and visit? How is this different from the previous situation?

It's a pity that Serov can't hear Jose's belly slander, and Serov, who is already hungry with his chest against his back, now feels that he has the most to eat, and he will be put in the back row for any work, inspection, and visit. People are iron and steel, you can't expect oxen to work and not eat grass, right?

"It's really in the style of southern Europe! It's a pity it's late today, otherwise I'd really like to go to other districts to have a look! Serov walked around the town, Serov, who had been an ambassador in Italy for a year, and when he listened carefully, he knew that the people in this town, their conversations were in Italian, and the currency of the town was the Italian lira, that is, even if he kidnapped a native Italian from Italy and put it down in this town, he decided that he would not find out that he had left Italy. Tell him that this is the USSR, and he will definitely not believe it, but will say that you are an idiot.

The only thing that struck Serov was that you could renovate a house in another country so beautifully, why couldn't you take the time to design your own house in the Soviet Union? Could it really be that the old Communist Party is not dirty, and its combat effectiveness is five?

"That's where they graduated, Disayeva?" Looking at the group of Italian-speaking Soviets around him, Serov felt that he was a real person, and he was a passing NPC. It's a weird feeling, but it's real.

"Tisaieva? Yes, a number of them all graduated from Southern Europe, and I heard that they went to work abroad! Jose said like a good old man, "Their group of people is very talented, Asazov and Tisayeva both graduated early, and they all have excellent subjects, which is a rare talent in southern Europe in recent years......"

"Yes, and it's very bold!" When Serov thought of these two people, he instantly went to Elizabeth Taylor, and even his own boss dared to calculate. "They used to be my men. Your education is really good! Serov didn't know whether he was complimenting or sarcastic.

Jose didn't react anyway. I don't know if I heard Serov's words, but he said, "You can take a break in the dormitory of the school, and tomorrow we can visit other districts!" "After all, Gatsna covers an area of 500 square kilometers, and the distance between several districts is not close, so it is really not suitable to continue today's sky.

"Okay, let's move on tomorrow!" Serov, who had been on the way, was not polite, although he was ready to pick someone. However, this matter is not in a hurry, he wants to find a person who is proficient in the hundred Chinese dialect, Wu can be a polar bear, Wen Neng has more than a computer, but this is not realistic. If you have this ability, you have already been a son of the plane, and you still use Serov to find it?

Panyushkin, who was far away in Moscow, also had his own troubles, that is, the Egyptian problem, and Nasser's goodwill towards the Soviet Union was by no means a yearning for the Soviet system, which not only Panyushkin, but also the Soviet leadership also understood. But Egypt's position is very important, and it has to be said that the old adversary of the Soviet Union, the United States. Little by little, it is increasing its influence in the Middle East.

Although Churchill always claimed that the relationship between Britain and the United States was a special one, this did not indicate the unity of interests between the two countries. During the Second World War and the early post-war period, the two countries shared common goals, and to that end, the two countries worked closely together. However, under this common goal, the two countries have their own interests, Britain needs to maintain its influence in the world, and the United States needs to expand its influence in the world, so the two countries have launched fierce competition on the basis of cooperation.

At the same time, the gradual decline of British power from the Middle East was accompanied by the growing influence of the United States, and the relationship between Britain and the United States coexisted with cooperation and competition, and it was American competition that accelerated the process of Britain's eventual withdrawal from Egypt. At this time, according to the agreement with Nasser, Britain was gradually withdrawing its troops. The Soviet Union and the United States set their sights on Egypt, which was geographically important, almost at the same time, and although Nasser was an Arab nationalist, the two countries could not take care of so much, and first jointly expelled the British and French forces.

The nascent Egypt urgently needed money and weapons to change its backward economy and cope with the provocations of war by Israel, which was eyeing Arab lands. At this time, in order to win over the new Nasser regime, the United States agreed to provide weapons to Egypt on the condition that Egypt join the Baghdad Pact Organization, which was planned by the United States. Egypt's refusal to join its military alliance, and Nasser's active participation in the Bandung Conference held by Asian and African countries at that time greatly annoyed the United States and deepened mutual suspicions, which eventually led to the aborted collapse of the arms deal between the United States and Egypt.

At a time when Egypt was in dire need of US aid, the United States adopted a high-pressure policy toward Egypt, never foreseeing that Egypt would turn to the Soviet Union for help under the new world situation, thus objectively providing a good opportunity for the Soviet Union to infiltrate Egypt. The Soviet Union readily agreed to Egypt's demands for weapons. After several months of secret talks in the Czech Republic, an agreement was reached in September 1955. The Soviet Union knocked on the door of Egypt with munitions,

"The Egyptian side has already proposed that we send a military advisory group, and our First General Directorate also needs its own personnel in the military advisory group to facilitate our work in Egypt!" Panyushkin's deputy, Roman, said, "This person must have work experience abroad!" "The proposal of the military advisory group was actually put forward by the Soviet Union, but now that the British forces have not all withdrawn, Nasser still decided to approve this proposal and use the Soviets to balance the British.

"Don't we have this person? Serov's work in Italy is there for all to see! Panyushkin snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "Let Serov go, where is he now?" ”

"Serov seems to have gone to the city of Gatsna! I approve it! Roman shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said helplessly, "He said that he wanted to find a high-quality special job for his subordinates......"

When Panyushkin heard that Serov was not here, he immediately selected other people from his mind, and finally found that it was Serov who was the most suitable, so he could only say, "When Comrade Serov returns, notify him immediately!" Follow the military advisory group to work in Egypt, you can bring your family! After thinking about it, Panyushkin added. (To be continued......)
