Chapter 234: Meet Again
The purpose of provoking a war is to divert everyone's attention from others and not let others know what the ultimate goal of the Soviet Union is, and what Serov needs to do is to do what he can under the correct line in the general direction. By covering the general situation with small means, the problems of the Soviet Union will finally be corrected. Although Serov has no discipline in terms of personality, he has always been clear that one person cannot do anything, he needs a huge amount of support, and the KGB is the most suitable for now.
During the Sudanese Civil War, as long as the Soviet Union took sides, no matter what decision was made, no matter how much armament aid was given, it would become normal. Serov's desire to transform Sudan into the breadbasket of the Soviet Union will not be the focus of international attention, and people would rather see war than farming.
A plan that has not come to the fore can have all kinds of wild ideas in private, and it is precisely because of this that Serov did not hide his ideas and recruited many people from the department to study this matter. The Soviet Union has no shortage of resources, but who would have too much of this thing, the cost of shipping it back to the Soviet Union is too high, and it can be sold directly here, no one will dislike money, but the degree of liking is different.
It is still unknown how feasible the plan will be, but it is much better than the Soviet Union taking out the national reserves of gold to sell grain. If the food problem was not unsolvable before World War I, it would not be a problem at all if it was either to expand externally and consume the population, or to suppress the internal rebellion and forcefully quell the rebellion. But in the fifties, the world consultation had already been opened, and the Soviet Union could not do this in order to maintain its face, and historically the swollen face and fat man consumed the reserve gold to solve the food problem.
After polishing the plan a little, Serov reported the plan to the KGB headquarters, at this time, it is necessary to move closer to the sense of mission and honor, naturally we cannot mention the side of arms dealers and plundering resources, simply the Soviet Union has a natural banner that can be waved at any time and export the revolution! Compared with the period of other leaders of the Soviet Union, the Khrushchev period adopted more modes of relaxation, but this was only relative, and there was never a lot of preparatory work to be done. Even if Khrushchev was the first secretary, he would not openly oppose the KGB's efforts to expand Soviet influence.
After sending the plan to the KGB headquarters, Serov stretched his waist, and he did not know whether the chairman of the KGB would agree to his proxy war plan. Even if you can't get through Serov, you are not afraid, things are not to the point of burning your eyebrows. After Sherepin took over as chairman of the KGB, he would have the same time to continue!
Regardless of whether the plan is approved or not, advance preparation is necessary, and Black Africa itself was a blind spot in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Sudan is one of the lowest countries in Africa, and with the help of Egyptians to infiltrate such a country, there should be no additional internal transfers. As for whether it will attract American counterparts to fight the KGB, we will talk about it later.
The sun in Egypt was much stronger than in the Soviet Union, and the harsh sunlight from the curtains made Serov squint, which made Serov, who was used to being active in the dark, a little uncomfortable, and it seemed that he had not gone out for a few days.
"General, call from Cairo! Our friends from Algeria are here in Cairo again! Shall we arrange for someone from Cairo to meet? Lukani said as she came in with a telegram in her hand and glared at her heels.
"Who will see? Battov! It's better for me to go by myself, let the Red Army generals go, don't let people sell them! Serov rubbed his eyes and ordered. Prepare the car, we will immediately return to Cairo and let Colonel Igor pay attention to the situation in the Sultan, and that's it! Serov thought for a moment and didn't find any loopholes, so he ordered.
The progress of communication has solved many problems for Serov, if he wakes up in ancient times, it is estimated that no one will find him here, let alone remote command. Whether it is Iraq in the east, Algeria in the west, or Sudan in the south, they have to use Egypt as a base to have the capital to attack, retreat and defend, and the longer he has been in Egypt, the more Serov has a deeper understanding of the strategic location here. Egypt is no longer a burden in his heart, as long as Egypt is not lost, the Soviet Union will compete with the Americans in the Middle East, and at worst it will be a draw.
Serov and Hassan's meeting continued the pattern of the previous meeting. But Hassan brought another person, who looked about the same age as Hassan, energetic and slightly resolute in his face, and his calloused hands were somewhat similar to some Red Army soldiers who had been touching guns for many years, and he should have been the commander of an independent guerrilla unit or something, which Lukani could see. Serov took a believing attitude towards his secretary's judgment.
"General, I haven't seen you for more than 20 days! You okay! Hassan first stood up and expressed his goodwill, and then said directly, "I have already gone back to inform our leaders of the general's suggestion last time, but most of the leaders of our Algerian National Liberation Front believe that the time is still premature for us to engage in a frontal war with the French at this stage, and the balance of forces between the two sides is too great, and the strength of our National Liberation Front plus various guerrillas is less than 100,000, while the French Army and some traitors form an armed group, which is 600,000!" There is no hope of victory at all in a head-on confrontation......"
"I think that the Algerian National Liberation Front has exaggerated the strength of the French, and this view of fearing the enemy is tantamount to fueling the arrogance of imperialism!" At this time, Serov was not fighting alone, Comrade Li De was with him, and one of the biggest changes in Serov's experience in the past few years was that he had developed a nonsense mouth, "Imperialist colonial rule is unpopular!" They are exploiting the Algerians and using your resources to strengthen their country! I believe that even ordinary people are dissatisfied with the French colonialists! These ordinary people are all potential soldiers of yours......"
"The main reason for this Soviet friend is not anything else, but that the strength and armament of our Algerian National Liberation Front cannot be compared with the French!" Farid, who had been silent, grasped the core of the problem as soon as he opened his mouth and said, "Once we turn from guerrilla warfare to positional warfare, we simply cannot afford to lose!" This is what most of the leaders of the National Liberation Front oppose ......"
This guy is smart and very obnoxious! This was the first impression that Farid left on Serov, if there were more such people, there would be no room for imperialism like him in the world. Now even Hassan, who made a good impression on Serov last time, made him feel that this person hated a lot.
Putting away his inexplicable emotions, Serov asked in a condescending manner, "Then Mr. Hassan, Mr. Farid!" How many years do you think it will take to drive the French colonists out of Algeria through guerrilla warfare? Will the protracted war cause the people to lose confidence in the Algerian National Liberation Front in favor of a stable living environment and in the resistance of the French colonialists? β
Hassan and the others are not prophets, and of course they don't know what the future holds, so it can be said that the question asked by Serov has no answer at all, and the two of them cannot answer. At this time, Serov was like a god who controlled everything, and he followed the good path, "Develop the masses, train the soldiers, accumulate strength, and counterattack the French army!" To tell you the truth, I really can't believe that the Algerians, who make up more than 80 percent, can't drive out the two million French colonizers, your results are so far from the Vietnamese in East Asia, and you don't even have confidence in victory......"
"General Serov, I'm actually one of the few people who agree with your proposal, but I can't convince most of the leaders!" Faride smiled bitterly and showed his identity, Falide is the leader of a military region under the National Liberation Front, and he is very interested in expanding his strength and fighting head-on with the French ** team, and there is only one thing that bothers Farid, that is, he is not the leader of the National Liberation Front, at best he is an important figure, far from the point where he can decide the line by himself.
Well? In the eyes of Serov, the leaders of these independent armed forces are all unpolished dictators, but he did not expect that Serov met one today, and a good opportunity could not be missed. After taking a moment to learn that most of the leaders of the National Liberation Front would not change their minds, Serov changed his mind. Whether it is to cultivate a real power faction or to let this person launch a military coup or d'Γ©tat in the future, it is a clear way out, and now is the time to cultivate personal friendships.
"Mr. Farid, even if you still insist on guerrilla warfare, I am still willing to provide my own help to your independent cause!" Serov pretended to be generous, "But a large amount of military aid, such as Egypt, I can't sit alone in charge, and only when I see the leaders of your National Liberation Front establish effective contacts, will the country pay attention to my suggestions!" β
"This time I can go back and try to get the general and our leader to meet!" Faride was quite moved and took the initiative to propose, "Maybe when you meet, we will reach a consensus on some issues......
Serov watched Farid and Hassan leave, and after the two walked away, Serov's smile disappeared instantly, his purpose has always been clear, to support national independence? Driving out the imperialist colonizers? International justice? These are all excuses, but one thing is true, and that is to dispose of the Soviet Union's vast arsenal of obsolete weapons and make the KGB self-sufficient. In the war in Algeria and the civil war in Sudan, Serov will not care how many people are killed, anyway, he can't see that the reason for blocking the advance of the Soviet Union is the enemy of the Soviet Union.
