Because the current Egyptians are far from being as good as the Chinese in later generations, they are more deceiving, and what cannot be verified is less likely to be overturned, and after these rumors spread for a few days, the Soviet Embassy in Cairo and the Consulate in Alexandria announced at the same time that they had indeed received a notice from the Soviet Ministry of Education that in view of the great friendship between the Soviet Union and Egypt, the quota for international students would be open to all students after consultation with the Egyptian Ministry of Education, but because of the limited number of places, it was necessary to go through an examination to obtain it.

"Of course, we only have talents, and if we don't have the ability, we can't blame us for not giving places!" Serov smiled, this group of international students must be all the top students in Egypt, as for the quota of the children of Egyptian high-ranking officials, Serov has already set aside in advance, just waiting for those high-ranking officials who want their sons to come to the door, if there is any left, it doesn't matter, Serov can personally send it to the door, free shipping throughout Egypt, on call.

Serov's face compared to the Soviet Union's influence on Egypt, so what does it count? He did no less shameless things, and many spies, Poles, Hungarians, and Italians would certainly have nodded their heads in agreement underground.

"General, after we established contact with the Free Officers of Iraq, we have begun to know a little bit about this organization, and there are few members of the Shiite faction. What do we do next! Lukani stood in front of Serov with the folder in her arms and asked, "Do you want to contact the Shiites now?" ”

"I'm in a hurry, it's better to investigate more! We don't know much about the Shiites in Iraq, and we can't be sure what kind of thinking they have! Serov pressed the cigarette butt out, "They are different from Syrians, the religion of Syrians can be distinguished at a glance, and the Alawites in Syria are concentrated in the army and easy to find!" So be it. The gathering area of the Shiites in Iraq is in the south of Iraq, let the comrades of the Eighth Division set up an intelligence network in the south of Iraq, we will first set up our own network, and then look for agents from the Shiites......"

Since it is a plan to subvert a country, Serov must be careful, the KGB is very powerful, and no one will deny it. But the strong dragon can't resist the snake Serov has heard the phrase, at this time you must quietly go in and shoot! Don't put in the effort and end up failing.

"Then let the Eighth Division start its activities in Syria first, General!" "Our recent study of Syria has found that Syria meets all the conditions that you want to find a country to support," Lukani proposed, "First of all, Arab nationalism is high and religion is not strong! Then there was the small number of Alawites, and in the end almost all of them joined the army. The army that controls Syria is a very good object to support! Secularists who are a minority of sects themselves, once we co-opt these Alawite officers, we can take control of Syria, and the risk of a falling out between the two sides is low......"

Listen to Lukani's analysis. Serov's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and for the first time he felt his secretary's abilities other than warming the bed, all of Lukani's analysis was correct, and it had been proven by history. When you think of Serov in Syria, you can first think of the Assad family and the Alawites. It's just that Egypt's position is too important, and Iraq has taken the lead in creating the Baghdad Treaty Organization. So for a while I didn't think about Syria.

"Well, that's good! Lukani, you're right! Syria should have the same status as Egypt! Serov walked back and forth two steps, "Yes." It's time to cultivate a great friendship with the Soviet people in Syria......"

The Eisenhower administration pursued the "Baghdad Treaty" in the Middle East with a view to forming a military encirclement against the Soviet Union. Syria resolutely opposes the "Baghdad Pact," and the United States has threatened it militarily, and the people in Syria have demonstrated against the United States. In March last year, the heads of Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia issued a statement that they would not participate in a military alliance organized by any state. The Baghdad Pact Organization "is at the service of sacrificing the interests and aspirations of the Arab States and undermining the unity of the Arab States".

The continuous threats and intimidation of the United States and Britain have prompted Syria to throw itself into the arms of the Soviet Union. Later, the Syrian Arab Baath Party came to power through a military coup and signed a cooperation agreement with the Soviet Union, thus opening a huge gap in the Middle East defense line carefully constructed by the United States, which was called the proud stroke of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

As long as Serov moves in the Middle East in advance and holds down Egypt, Syria and Iraq, as for Saudi Arabia's Serov, he is not sure of controlling it, but he can make Saudi Arabia remain neutral, so that the United States will not be able to wrestle with the Soviet Union in the Middle East, and the key point is Iraq, which is in the middle, as long as the gap is opened from Iraq, the Americans' defense network against the Soviet Union will be penetrated.

Whether it is Egypt, Iraq or Syria, these three countries are equally important to the Soviet Union, and these three countries are also the traditional powers of the Middle East, and they can already be regarded as military powers in the Middle East, where rookies peck each other. For the first time, Serov realized that there were times when such a large department of the KGB was understaffed, at least now the personnel brought out from the Eighth Middle East Division were already somewhat stretched.

"It's really not okay to let the Middle East Department all go out and send a report to Director Panyushkin, there is a shortage of talents in the Middle East, and domestic support is needed!" Serov breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In order to establish our influence in the Middle East, it is necessary for the entire department to work together, and I believe that the director will agree with my opinion......"

It will take time for domestic support to arrive, the Soviet Union attaches great importance to the Middle East, and Serov is sure that he can definitely wait for the support he needs, and the Soviet Union has an advantage in the Middle East, which will play a great role in the entire Cold War environment, and there will be no situation of being trapped in the middle.

Serov was not idle during this time, from time to time he haunted the homes of many department leaders in Cairo, Egypt has not been independent for a long time, especially these members of the Egyptian Free Officers Organization, they do not have too many ideas of interest groups now, many leaders have not thought that they can actually become interest groups, it doesn't matter, they can't think of this, Serov can help them think of this, with the introduction of the Minister of Internal Affairs Alim and the commander of the Republican Guard, General Rahman, It didn't take long for Serov to become a friend of these high-ranking officials in Cairo.

Serov, who came with great internationalism, could not retreat at such a time, wandered among many real power factions, and gave away the quota of the Soviet Ministry of Education, if you want to say where in Egypt is the most popular now, it is definitely the Soviet Embassy, the embassy staff receives an endless stream of Egyptians who come to inquire about the news every day, there are men and women, old and young, and there is only one thing to ask, that is, how many places to study in the Soviet Union.

Regarding the matter of quotas, Serov has already discussed with the people in the embassy, this time it must cause a huge momentum, not to mention the places left by Serov, the remaining nearly 2,000 places must be obtained through the exam, if there are 100,000 people who want to study in the Soviet Union, then 100,000 students will take the exam together, Serov has agents in his hands, and the invigilation is completely pediatric, which can definitely guarantee the fairness of it.

"Comrade Serov, the ambassador is not willing to do this! Because it will put a lot of burden on the Cairo embassy! Consul General Alexander said on the phone, "The workload of 100,000 people to take the exam is too much, which is equivalent to almost all college students in Egypt taking the exam together!" Maybe the number of college students in Egypt is less than 100,000, and it will be a very troublesome thing at that time! ”

"Why did Mr. Ambassador ask you to convey this? Who is the Cairo ambassador now? Serov said impatiently, "I'm in Cairo right now, why didn't he tell me himself?" ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time before he said, "Now our ambassador to Egypt is Comrade Shepilov......"

...... hiss, Serov took a breath, his face changed and returned to calm, if it was two months ago, he might have heard this name and might have scared Serov, he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and he was in the top ten in the Soviet Union, pinching Serov to death was like pinching an ant to death, but he didn't expect Shepilov to be the ambassador to Egypt now.

This time and that time, now it is different, Serov has no need to be afraid of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, the person who made the mistake did not change his mind for a while, and conveyed his meaning through Consul Alexander, it is really too big, let alone Shepilov, the agents around Molotov were all sent by Serov, and even the former deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers was under Serov's supervision.

"Well, I'll meet Comrade Shepilov!" Serov hung up the phone coldly, "A person who has made a mistake must clearly recognize the mistake, prepare the car, let's go to the embassy in Cairo......"

The Soviet embassy is located on a very busy street in Cairo, probably because Egypt and the Soviet Union have good relations now, the Soviet embassy has a large area and the nearby infrastructure is good. Serov saw the sickle and hammer flag fluttering high from the embassy, and Serov, who got out of the car, lit up his ID card under the gaze of the guards at the door, and Shi Shiran walked into the Soviet embassy.

Outside Shepilov's office, the sound of heavy military boots made Shepilov, who was still in the office, frown, Shepilov was a person who liked to be quiet very much, and the doubt did not last long, a very young KGB general pushed the door in and stood condescendingly in front of him with an indifferent gaze.
