Chapter 230: Confident Bragging

For the Algerian War of Independence, Serov has a mentality of wanting to be the first to do and to set up a memorial arch, on the one hand, he hopes that the war will last as long as possible, but there is no clear goal for the final result. He hoped that France would win and that France would lose, and in his heart Serov hoped that France in the Western world would retain a certain amount of strength so that it would have more confidence to make trouble for the Americans. But after all, the French are a part of the Western world, and it is difficult to say whether the growth of France will be beneficial or unfavorable to the Soviet Union.

There are too many problems in the Soviet Union to count, Serov can only solve them one by one, not to mention more than three million Mosin-Nagant rifles are enough for Serov to rack his brains, this is not counting things like ** sand and Katyusha, it really makes his head big when he sees the real thing.

At this point, we have to mention the important position of Egypt, the Soviet Union, which chose Egypt as a breakthrough, really had a vision, and Serov, who did not know enough about Egypt before, realized the importance of this place on his second trip to Egypt, affecting the Persian Gulf to the east, North African countries to the west, and black Africa to the south, no wonder the Soviet Union didn't even care about those oil-producing countries, and wanted to pinch Egypt in its hands.

It is precisely because of the realization of the importance of Egypt that Serov would rather bleed to raise this group of high-ranking Egyptian officials as uncles. The returns are also very high, and with the involvement of the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior, Serov can easily reach the power of many countries.

At this time, the Algerian War had entered its third year, and the French government had transported a large number of troops to Algeria after withdrawing its troops from Vietnam, and together with the Muslim forces loyal to France, the entire French armed force in Algeria reached 600,000 men.

"General Serov, according to the information collected by our 8th and 9th Divisions! During the fighting at the beginning of this year, the local Independence Army against the French colonizers briefly engaged in urban warfare, but was quickly defeated by the French! Thousands of guerrilla fighters died, and now these independent armies have been transformed into guerrillas again, and only then can guerrilla warfare harass the French colonial army! "After the strength of the Middle East Division came to Egypt, the Soviet Union's strength in North Africa was greatly increased, just like the global satellite was launched early in the red alert, so that Serov got rid of the state of black eyes, and his ears and eyes were instantly clear.

"Guerrilla warfare?" This familiar word caught Serov's attention. After thinking for a while, he frowned, "This is not good news!" "Guerrilla warfare is a war of the lowest intensity, in other words, all means have been exhausted, and it is still not an opponent of the enemy. Only at this time can we consider waging guerrilla warfare, which is the last line of defense and the most costly. Once a country enters a state of guerrilla warfare, there is basically nothing to lose.

However, this is not the focus of Serov's attention, the focus is on guerrilla warfare, which is the lowest intensity of warfare, and cannot swallow the surplus waste weapons of the Soviet Union. This is not good news, it is better to let them start a regular war, regular war has two advantages, the first is that there are enough dead people, and the second weapon has a large amount of attrition.

"Let's see each other first! We, the Soviet Union, have always been supportive of the Third World's war against colonialism! Serov made up his mind that the Algerian war must be transformed from a guerrilla war into a regular war, and that the scale of the war must be expanded, not reduced. I just don't know if there is a gold mine in that part of Algeria that can be consumed.

Before meeting again, Serov was actually quite worried about the Algerian representatives, but don't be like the Iraqis, choose a strange place as the place for the two sides to meet, but fortunately not! The place where the two sides met was not very luxurious. But it's like a place where humans gather.

"Hello, Soviet general! I am a representative of the Algerian National Liberation Front, just call me Hassan! "Hassan was nearly fifty years old, with a beard and a traditional Arabic robe and a turban. It's the most ordinary Arab, walking down the street Serov will not notice at all.

"Hello, my Arab friend!" Serov opened his arms in a false way, and the members of the Algerian guerrillas, who had fought against the French for several years, had apparently seen more of the market than the Iraqi group. There is no such caution as Iraqis, not that caution is bad. Rather, it was the people of the Free Officers of Iraq who went a little too far and made a bad impression on Serov.

This was a bit of a negotiation, and the two sides did not get to the point immediately but chatted for a while, and learned in the words that Hassan had gone to school in France in his early years. Spoke good French. Serov didn't know if studying abroad was true or not, but Lukani listened to it for a while and secretly nodded to Serov, so it should be right.

"General Serov, we have always had a beautiful vision of the Soviet Union! When we heard the news that the Soviet side was going to contact us, we, the Algerian National Liberation Front, immediately sent me to Cairo to contact our Soviet friends! Hassan complimented Serov without a drop of water. If it were an ordinary Soviet person, it is estimated that words such as doctrine and worship may be fooled and cannot find the north, but Serov is not that kind of person. He doesn't look like an ordinary Soviet, but he listens to the propaganda of the Soviet government, has the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and wants to fool him when he says a few words, which is a dream.

"That's right, Mr. Hassan! I heard that the Algerians were in a very difficult environment in the struggle against imperialism and feudalism! For the armed struggle in the Third World, the position of our USSR is consistent! That's unreserved support! If Hassan is really ready to talk to Serov, if nothing else, Serov will definitely have time.

After a few rounds of back and forth, Hassan knew that he could not have the upper hand in front of this young-looking Soviet general, and it was impossible to expect the Soviets to have more money than stupid. This Soviet general has a better mouth than him, almost like a diplomat. In fact, Hassan really did not guess wrong, Serov himself drove out diplomats for a while, and successfully squeezed out the American ambassador, which is definitely a positive example in the Soviet diplomatic system.

In the end, Serov stopped continuing to talk about it, and his role was to send warmth, to help the poor people of Algeria selflessly and resist all the evil usury imperialism for the sake of the great spirit of internationalism.

"Mr. Hassan, in fact, when I come here today, I have already made clear the attitude of our Soviet Union, which is to support you in resisting the French and winning the independence of your own nation! Let Algeria return to the hands of the Algerians themselves! Serov slapped his big hand, and said in an accentuated tone, "We can support your weapons at cost price, as much as we want, until the French are driven out of Algeria......" Serov, who was supported by the abandoned weapons warehouses of the sixteen military districts, spoke with confidence.

"I wonder how many weapons the Soviet Union can support us?" Hassan felt a pang in his heart that something great had happened today, which might have a great impact on the situation in Algeria.

"We can take as much as you want! However, there is a premise that we cannot delay the normal formation of our Soviet Red Army, sorry, this should not happen! Serov said proudly, and began to shake his social-imperialist prestige again in front of his friends in the Third World.

The translation of Serov's words made Hassan feel very harsh, and he said with some disbelief for a while, "Mr. Serov, there are 100,000 soldiers of our Algerian National Liberation Front, and the weapons and ammunition consumed are astronomical!" Can the Soviet Union supply it? ”

"That's not much! Now in my hands to support the third world countries, there are a million rifles! Serov shrugged his shoulders indifferently, not only did not brag at all, but also said as little as possible, so as not to frighten the dirt bun who came out of the desert.

Hassan has seen the world better than the Iraqis he saw last time Serov. But Hassan, an ordinary person, even if he has spent a few years in France, cannot appreciate how capable a real industrial power is, it is simply two worlds, because in the final analysis, France itself is also the worst industrial among the powers, if Italy is not a great power.

France is not so much an industrial power as an agricultural power with industry, so it is obviously not the opponent of the German Empire, a real industrial power, in the two world wars. So the industry that Hassan saw in France was no match for the growth of the United States and the Soviet Union, which set new world records every year.

So when he heard Serov's words, Hassan's first reaction was that Serov was bragging, and then there was endless emotion, because he knew that Serov was not bragging, but that the Soviet Union really had this strength, and Hassan himself didn't notice it when he spoke, and his attitude softened a lot unconsciously, and the conversation that came and went turned into a lot of listening and talking.

This time, Serov once again relied on the strong strength of the Soviet Union to firmly grasp the initiative in his own hands, with the support of strong strength behind him, and boasted of self-confidence, why did British diplomats always leave the impression of British diplomacy in the world? Or is it because the British Navy is the first in the world, why can't you see British diplomats after the end of World War II? Because Britain's strength is no longer good, diplomats can't show their sophistication.

Serov has never forgotten his mission, which is to sell weapons, and after asking about the current situation between the Algerian National Liberation Front and the French colonial army, Serov shook his head and said, "Mr. Hassan, I have to say that I have a rather pessimistic attitude towards the current situation in Algeria......"
