Chapter 159: The Fuse

Even if the United States notices this and desperately tries to maintain stability in South America, it is still beneficial to the Soviet Union, because the cost of maintaining the United States in this way is very huge, not only will it not suck blood but also cut flesh, which indirectly weakens the capital power of the United States, which is still a good thing for the Soviet Union, and from any point of view, the penetration of the Soviet Union into South America is a favorable thing.

"That's right, it seems that today has not been in vain, I heard Comrade Serov's opinion, it is a good new direction!" Roman, deputy director of the First General Bureau, walked in at this time and said to the comrades of the South American Division, "Comrades, our KGB work on the secret front does not pay attention to justice or not, but only depends on the results!" If the final result is beneficial to our motherland, we can implement any means, do you understand? ”

All the middle-level cadres of the South American Division of the "Ula ......" stood up and saluted at the same time, and forty or fifty people saluted at the same time, and the scene was quite spectacular, Serov spoke in the vernacular for more than two hours, and Roman, deputy director of the First General Bureau, achieved the effect in just a few words.

"The next time I want to instill my ideas to my subordinates, I should directly find a senior official to sit in charge, and the effect must be good!" Serov touched his chin and wondered if he should have nothing to do with comrades from other divisions and attend public classes or something......

"Comrade Serov, come out with me for a ∞!" Compared with the head of the First Main Directorate, Panyushkin, Deputy Director Roman seems to be a genuine director, and he is also a person often seen by the cadres below. Therefore, among the middle-level cadres, Roman's status is very high, and as soon as Serov heard that he was called himself, he naturally did not dare to slack off and followed Roman outside.

"You used to be in charge of military aid in Egypt, talk about your views on Egypt's military power. I would like to assess the strength of the Egyptian military! Roman said quickly. Ask Serov directly. There is no deputy director at all.

"Egyptian military?" Serov thought about it carefully and felt that he was really not an expert, and Major General Battov was in charge of specific matters, and even Colonel Igor was more professional than himself. However, since Roman asked, Serov could only bite the bullet and say, "According to my observations, the Egyptian military can be said to be the strongest in the Arab countries, and it is also the most feared existence by the Israelis!" That's all ......"

"That's all?" Roman had expected Serov to make a tirade like he had just done. I didn't expect it to be so simple, "Egypt's military strength can be compared to Israel's?" ”

"Specifically, it's not far from each other, you can fight!" Serov didn't know what Roman meant, after all, the establishment of Israel was not only the United States, but also the Soviet Union. Although the policy was later changed in favor of the Arab countries, who knows when this policy was changed and has it changed now?

The position of the Soviet Union on the issue of the establishment of an Israeli state was very special and at the same time crucial. The Soviet Union's treatment of the Jewish state of Restoration was dramatic. Before World War II. The Soviet Union had always been strongly hostile to Juvinism, but after the war it gave the strongest support to the Juvinist movement. Without the support of the USSR and its Eastern European countries. United Nations resolutions, which are the political guarantee and legal basis for the establishment of the modern State of Israel, are unlikely to receive the necessary two-thirds of the votes in support in any case.

Not only that, but the Soviet Union was the first major power to grant legal recognition after the establishment of Israel. Since then, Moscow has continued to provide moral, political, economic, and military support to the nascent State of Israel.

Through Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union provided Israel with weapons, ammunition, and other military supplies needed to counter the military operations of the Arab League countries, so that the Jewish armed forces turned the tide of the war by launching a counteroffensive. Throughout the war, the Israeli Legation in Prague effectively became an unusually busy arms procurement depot. It can be said that Israel won the first Middle East war with the full support of the Soviet Union.

"I'm just asking casually, the timing and form are different, and the position of our corner is naturally different!" Roman seemed to see through Serov's thoughts, and said, "Even what about us Soviet Jews in the Israeli army, from the day they made their choice, those people were already just Israelis......

"Do you think the Egyptian military has the ability to counter Britain and France!" Roman's words have clearly told Serov that after these few days of surveillance, the First Directorate has begun to notice the contacts between Britain and France, and has begun to keep an eye on the contacts between the two countries, and may not believe that they dare to do it, but there is already a meaning to pay close attention.

Serov shook his head, looked at the KGB staff who were in a hurry outside, and said, "Director, Egypt can't reach Britain and France at all, Britain and France are strong in the navy, and they can unilaterally beat Egypt all the time, Egypt has no way except to be beaten passively, and when the two countries are sure that there is no danger to land with the army, the Egyptian army may have nothing left!" ”

In this way, the Israelites may be indispensable in maintaining the faith of the Egyptians! At least not let the Egyptians lose badly! Roman muttered to himself and said, "Comrade Serov, maybe your fate with Egypt is not over yet......"

"Egypt has nothing but geography, why should we come to their aid!" Serov asked what he had been wondering about.

"Yuri, it doesn't matter if there is something in Egypt, we in the Soviet Union do not lack resources, but it is not easy to maintain the current system where everyone has a job!" Roman smiled and patted Serov on the shoulder and said, "We aid Egypt's armaments and industry, so that Egypt can control Egypt by making it dependent on us, and at the same time strike at Egypt's industry and solve the employment problem of personnel in our country's military industry, once Egypt forms a dependence on us, we can use the scissors difference in import and export to save back the loss of our aid, and at the same time maintain the development of the domestic military industry and the employment of the people!" ”

What a hooliganism this is, Roman didn't care how much shock it left in Serov's heart after he finished speaking, Shi Shiran left the South American Division, and his leisurely attitude seemed to be just saying some trivial things.

Serov slowly savored Roman's words and pondered what they meant, now that the Soviet Union seemed to be preparing for the possibility of British and French intervention in Egypt, there might be an actor-level show at that time. However, where did Roman get the news, it should not be his own inference. So who is the intelligence officer with such a great energy in the British intelligence network?

"Could it be the legendary Cambridge Five?" Looking at Roman's back, Serov felt that the world was so big, and he was so ignorant!

Ten days later, Serov was still in the office lamenting why Peter had not been caught, and Shirekov took a piece and said, "Head, I received a telegram from Colonel Igor in the morning, Nasser announced that the Suez Canal would be returned to Egypt!" ”

At the end of July 56, the Egyptian government announced the nationalization of the Suez Canal Company, and at the same time, the Egyptian army entered the Canal Zone to take over all the equipment in the Canal Zone and expel the British administration there.

"Today, we have truly achieved true sovereignty, true dignity and true pride...... Today we say that our wealth has been returned to us. Nasser said when announcing the nationalization of the Suez Canal.

"Oh, Mr. Nasser still can't help it!" Serov put the piece on the table and ordered, "Burn it, save space for the archives!" At this time, I have to say that one of Serov's characteristics is that he never keeps a file when doing things, and this thing is purely looking for trouble.

"Head, Nasser has stood firm this time, and the support of the Egyptians has made it impossible for other opposition forces to make waves!" Shirekov looked impressed, and he was interested in the Egyptian leader on the other side of the Mediterranean.

"What's this! I also support the pie in the sky, and I will be happy all day tomorrow morning when I go out and pick up the money! Serov snorted coldly and said, "The canal was dug by Britain and France, and the Egyptians are just picking peaches now, thinking that the British will swallow this breath to dare to do this, that is, modern society has saved Egypt, otherwise, go back a year and see what happened to Egypt!" ”

As a result of the Suez War, the British power that had always controlled the Middle East collapsed, and the main players in the Middle East became the United States and the Soviet Union. As for Egypt and England and France, who cares if they live or die?

After Nasser announced that Egypt had reclaimed the Suez Canal, Britain reacted first by protesting Egypt's actions and at the same time courting the Commonwealth countries and France, which had always supported them, and in August, at the initiative of Britain and France, twenty-two countries met in London, but failed to reach any agreement. In September, the United States, Britain, and France convened 18 countries to meet again in London to discuss the establishment of an "association for the use of the Suez Canal," but no agreement was reached.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union convened the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, and all of them stated that Egypt's recovery of the Suez Canal was a matter of cleaning up the legacy of the colonialists, and hoped that Britain and France would recognize the fact that the Suez Canal belonged to Egypt, but this time there was another Italy on the side of the Soviet Union. Because of this golden waterway, countries that represent two ideas in the world today have once again begun to talk about it.

This kind of big scene has nothing to do with Serov, and can only continue to pay attention to the small scenes that he can solve, Serov has been looking for the handle of Peter **v, by the way to observe the upcoming Eighth Plenum of the Polish Central Committee, only when the current government controls the situation, Serov dares to say that he has solved the Polish problem.

"Head, Hungary has discovered the intelligence officers of the Americans!" Serov, who was bored all day, almost jumped up in fright by Shirekov's words. (To be continued......)
