Chapter 133: There Is No Free Lunch
Anyway, it was necessary to meet the revolutionary forces in Africa, and it was necessary to dress up properly, but fortunately the daily necessities from Cairo had arrived, otherwise Serov would have to dress up as an Arab beard to meet these resistance forces.
While polishing his shoes, Serov said to Lukani, "It's very stupid to talk to these black uncles about doctrine, and I never had any intention of talking to them!" After they have weapons, they will automatically give their armed forces a calling name, what liberation, what people's army, in order to deceive more people to join their armed forces, the armed minds at that time will automatically learn some things to make their subordinates feel that the sacrifice is worth it. Samples are available now, and there is no more comprehensive theory of revolution than in our socialist countries! ”
"In terms of the potential of the black armed forces and the intensity of the war in Africa, I feel that it is a bit wasteful to give them T34, AK47 is enough, even if I am worthy of them!" The contempt on Serov's face was obvious, and he mocked, "Even if AK47 is given to them, I doubt that there will be more colonists who will die at their hands, or more ordinary blacks!" "The AK47 is a world-famous submachine gun, the soldier's favorite weapon, elegantly and simply combining heavily forged steel with solid wood, which will never break, jam or overheat. Even if it is covered with mud and sand, it can be fired normally. It's so easy to use that even a small child can use it, and they do.
According to scientific research, Africa is ▼, the birthplace of mankind, why is it so backward in modern times! Serov thought about it carefully and overturned his own idea, not backward in modern times. It's always lagging behind. There were also no famous civilizations that appeared in ancient times. Not to mention the European civilization that now occupies the right to speak. China in East Asia, India in South Asia, and Iran in the Middle East all have their own characteristics. Even the caste system in India did not appear, although it was negative.
Although Serov is also a soldier at this time and should know something about some weapons and guns, he still feels that the world is so big in the face of the various guns that these black uncles carry on their shoulders. There is still a long way to go to be fully understood. There are only two consequences of this situation, one is that the gun is old enough before the First World War, and Serov does not know him. In the second case, that is, the weapon made by Uncle Black with the soil method, I don't know if it will explode.
As he walked past an armed soldier, Serov stopped to look, and if he was not mistaken, the rifle that the black soldier was carrying seemed to show signs of rust! "It's really good to deal with!" Serov muttered to himself and walked to the house where he met with the heads of the armed forces!
A room to meet with the heads of the African armed forces. There is neither the ornate decoration nor the fine food that entertains these people. If there is anything special about this room. That's big, big enough to hold hundreds of people and still not feel crowded. Because this house was originally intended to be used as a warehouse.
I don't know if this group of African black uncles is satisfied, but that's it, holding the Damascus steel knife sent by Minister Alim in his hand, followed by the two female secretaries Isemotny and Lukani, Serov sat in the middle of the rostrum, and Colonel Igor was next to Serov.
"Dear African warriors, it's a pleasure to see you here!" As soon as Serov sat down, he began to say this kind of hypocritical nonsense that can make him vomit three catties, but there is no way, what should be said must be said, and it is time to splash dirty water again, "The African continent is rich in resources, and the people are enthusiastic and peace-loving." The reason why Africa is what it is today is all caused by the colonization of Africa by imperialism and the exploitation of the African people. Our goal in the Soviet Union has always been to support the African people and liberate their homeland, and the goal of all of you here is the same as that of the Soviet Union, which is to expel the colonialists from the African continent! ”
At the end of the day, Serov had fully entered the role, and his tone was called a righteous and strict word, according to his own words, that is, he almost lied to himself! It's not scientific at all.
Isemimutny and Lukani translated in English and French respectively to the leaders of the African armed forces, and the effect was quite good, at least much quieter than Serov's speech, not how highly conscious these Africans were, but the fact that these blacks focused all their eyes on the beautiful women, so that this place did not turn into a vegetable market.
"Mr. Serov, thank you for the generous behavior of the USSR! We Africans will thank you! Lukani translated the words of a black leader to Serov.
"You're welcome!" Serov played with the diamond-encrusted Damascus steel knife in his hand, thinking about how to knock a stroke hard and provide free assistance? Don't be funny, Serov wouldn't think that other people on the Soviet side during the Cold War would have such a high level of consciousness. I really did this with the consciousness of the proletariat and sympathy for the people of Africa. What's the end of it? It's not that nothing has been gained. There is a saying that mud cannot hold up the wall, and these countries in Africa, except for their own resources, are of no help to socialist countries at all. Moreover, the Soviet Union is not China, and the Soviet Union itself is not a place lacking resources, both in total and per capita.
There is no free lunch in the world, and Serov will not focus on the steel, oil and coal of the African continent, because the Soviet Union is rich in these resources, and China is very scarce because of the population, so some rare mineral deposits have become Serov's target, gold, diamonds, all kinds of precious stones, and some mineral deposits will inevitably be scraped a layer of land.
These words cannot be said on such an occasion, otherwise it will be too ugly, so Serov ignored the mountains of light weapons and equipment piled up in the Soviet Union, and said cautiously, "Of course, we will try our best to help our African brothers, but I hope that African brothers will also understand the difficulties of our Soviet Union, after all, the mainland is far away from Africa, and the Soviet Union is surrounded by imperialism, and some time may not be able to be so comprehensive!" ”
Serov believes that the role of the Suez War lies in the fact that the British and French forces fought in Egypt, which eventually attracted a joint response from the United States and the Soviet Union, and let the leaders of these two countries know that the world is no longer what they want, and only then did they adjust their policies under the pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union, and no longer forcefully suppress the independent armed forces of the colonies, so that Africa became independent.
It's not that Serov looks down on Uncle Black, although Britain and France are yesterday's yellow flowers, if they only rely on the Africans themselves, without the support and pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain and France will be more than enough to settle these independent armed forces.
"Isemotney, Lukani, and Colonel Igor, talk to the leaders of this group of Independence Army and see how many weapons they need!" Serov did not have any expectations for the fighting power of these independent armies, but it was better than nothing. The Soviet Union piled up light weapons, the cost itself was not high, and it was not worth paying for some of the wealth of Africa.
As soon as he spoke, Serov left the warehouse, he had one more thing to do, the KGB had to set up an organization here, and this matter involved high-level issues, and Serov had to send a telegram asking for instructions.
"General, it's a telegram from Moscow!" Before Serov could speak, the translator first took out a telegram and sent it to Serov, and Serov knew from the wording above that it was not a KGB telegram. It was supposed to be a telegram from the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, so I put it in my arms without reading it, and continued, "Send a telegram to the First General Bureau, and the work is progressing smoothly." I've seen people everywhere and could consider setting up a permanent base in Aswan! ”
Serov's wording did not mention the words independence and anti-colonialism at all, but I believe that the leadership of the First Directorate will understand the meaning of Serov's words. Such a decent telegram is also afraid of being intercepted by the British and American intelligence agencies, and although there is no high level of secrecy procedures now, it is finally better than nothing.
Colonel Igor was still talking with the leaders of the African Independence Army in the warehouse, when Serov returned to his room with a telegram from Sherepin, and there was no extra greeting on the telegram, but he said very simply, "Yuri, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to be held, as a major general of the KGB, you are eligible to participate, do you want to return to Moscow to participate in the 20th National Congress?" ”
Serov's eyes kept staring at the telegram without a few words, and he lit a cigarette with a wooden voice, at this time it seemed that only cigarettes could keep Serov a little sober, and said to himself, "The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union? The 20th Congress of the CPSU? Khrushchev ready to liquidate Stalin? Is the peak of the socialist state coming to pass? Am I doing something wrong in Italy helping Italy**? ”
In his report to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union held in February 56, Khrushchev reaffirmed the Soviet Union's support for the policy of peaceful coexistence between countries with different social and political systems, repudiated Lenin's theory that war was inevitable as long as imperialism existed, and believed that in some countries it was possible to make a peaceful transition to socialism through the path of parliament.
This made Serov begin to doubt his greatest achievement, and so far, Serov's greatest achievement after waking up was to successfully bring ** to power in Italy, but this merit was the largest sample of Khrushchev's own ideas, if only that, it would be nothing. The point is that Khrushchev's goal was not only peaceful coexistence, but also the overthrow of Stalin's ideas.
After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in the summary report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev put forward the theory of "three harmony" in view of the international situation at that time, that is, "peaceful coexistence", "peaceful competition", and "peaceful transition".
Perhaps it was the success of the Italian side that made Khrushchev more confident to begin to advance his theory. (To be continued......)
