"I've already become a firefighter in the Soviet Union!" After complaining, Serov deeply felt that his responsibility was heavy and he had a long way to go, and that the leader of a country with the largest territory in the world and a socialist country still needed someone to save him. Serov could only take pleasure in his misery, comforting himself that he was doing a great cause, and it was rare for one person to save a country, at least Serov was doing it, what was there to dissatisfaction with?

Just like Serov's imagination, the Soviet Union, as the first socialist country, few people can understand the influence of the Soviet Union on other countries, whether it is the Poznan incident in Poland or the events in Hungary, they were themselves affected by the ideological changes of the Soviet Union, and Khrushchev's secret report instantly put the leaders of other socialist countries in Eastern Europe who have been pursuing the Stalinist model in a very embarrassing position.

If you accept Khrushchev's attitude, you must admit your mistakes, and if you do not accept it, you will run counter to the direction of the Soviet Union at this time, and the leaders of many countries are in a dilemma. Whether it's Poland or Hungary, it's just a microcosm for people to see.

"Mr. Nasser, in fact, I think the most important mission of the Republican Guard is to deter some separatist forces, and to be extremely loyal to the country of Egypt!" Serov, who continues to farm in Egypt, gets closer to Nasser, who has just sprayed each other in his heart some time ago, and the two fools in the eyes of the other party often appear together in public, which is a great benefit for Serov, and he can get in touch with other powerful figures in Egypt. Nasser also had his own considerations, and even appeared with the Soviet generals, so that the British and American people in Cairo could see that Egypt was not the only way to beg them.

"General Serov. Do you think there is an element of instability in Egypt? Nasser laughed and said, "I think Egypt is on the right track now, and both the development of the country and the building of the army are much stronger than when the king was still alive!" The construction of the Aswan Dam is still being planned, but I don't think it's a big problem......"

Not a big problem? Serov thought back for a moment. It seems that it was because Britain and the United States refused to provide assistance for the construction of the Aswan Dam that Egypt forcibly nationalized the Suez Canal to raise funds for the construction of the Aswan Dam. Nasser will receive news of the refusal of Britain and the United States to aid the Aswan Dam, perhaps sooner.

Is this not a big problem? Serov smiled and said, "Mr. Nasser, how many supporters does the king still have?" Is the Brotherhood an Arab nationalist support? How can disputes between Muslims and Christians be resolved? The most important thing is that the tribal power in Egypt is actually not small, right? Will the military form a closed interest group? ”

"You know a lot about our Egypt?" Nasser did not shy away from these questions. In fact, he was not prepared to avoid it, because these problems existed, and Serov was right, so he asked, "Could it be that the problems that Egypt is encountering now, you Soviet Union can solve?" ”

Nassar single-handedly led the Free Officers to overthrow the king, and naturally took strict precautions against the king's remnants, while his policies were not excluded by the Muslim Brotherhood. Arab nationalism and pan-Iranianism are not at odds with each other, and Egypt's tribal power, while not as strong as other Middle Eastern countries, is not to be underestimated. Only the military in Serov's mouth. Nasser is quite relieved, but now it seems that the Soviet general also has his own opinion on the attitude of the military. This intrigued Nasser.

"What does that depend on?" Serov looked full of confidence, as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn't solve, "Mr. Nasser, my rank of major general was not picked up on the street. I believe you should have a certain understanding of Italian affairs, the election in Italy is planned by me......"

Nasser was thinking in his heart. What exactly does this Serov mean? Are you threatening yourself or are you simply showing your abilities? Or is it both? Considering the occasion, it doesn't seem like a threat. The latter is more likely, so what about this? "General Serov, as an open-minded person, we all know that it is never a good thing for a country to be too strong in religion, and it is because the European countries first excluded the interference of religion in the state that they have gained an advantage in the confrontation with the Arab countries, and finally increased the strength between the two. Did you solve this problem? ”

As a national leader, Nasser has a clear understanding of the growing power between Arab and European powers, and he does not shy away from the problem nor is he arrogant, but is ready to solve it.

"This question is the easiest, but it is not suitable for Egypt!" Serov shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "We have the same attitude towards all religions, that is, restrictions? Can you do it in Egypt? ”

Serov's tone was not sarcastic, but Nasser was also a little uncomfortable, thinking about the Soviet Union's method of restricting everything, Egypt really couldn't do it, first of all, Nasser couldn't even pass his own level.

Nasser's reaction was expected by Serov, and it should be said that this reaction was the reaction of a normal person. Not everyone was Stalin, who graduated from the seminary and immediately threw himself into the atheist wave.

"So what? Mr. Nasser, your idea is to use the concept of the Arab nation to counter the concept of religion! Serov said, "This line of thinking is not wrong, but there is a shortcoming, that is, it is impossible to completely eradicate the power of the Brotherhood, to be honest, I have no good way, I can only keep the army's ideology from being infiltrated to the greatest extent, so it seems that your concept has the advantage, and the final result is not easy to say......

At least in the course of history in the previous life, the countries that adhered to Arab nationalism fell into the hands of the Americans, and only Syria was still struggling to hold on until Serov came to the last moment, the war was not over, and no one knew the final result! Once Syria falls, it means that all the secular governments of Arab nationalism have been eliminated, and those who come to power will easily become the ones who control the religious forces and wear the cloak of democracy.

Nasser opened his mouth, but did not speak. Serov continued, "So Mr. Nasser wants to keep your homeland undisturbed by religious forces in the process of construction? The loyalty of the army is a must, you can rely on your prestige now to ensure that your ideas can be carried out smoothly, but what about later? Mr. Nasser, can you guarantee that your successor also has your prestige and the ability to guarantee that Egypt will not be controlled by religion? ”

Now Serov has finally shown his fox tail, Serov, who has always adhered to the principle of being unprofitable and unprofitable, will not do meaningless things at all, staying in Cairo during this time, and being with Mr. Nasser every day, not to let Britain and the United States know that the Soviet Union is supporting Egypt, but has its own purpose.

Nasser knew that Serov's words were not wrong at all, and that the current Arab nationalism was indeed being promoted by itself! So he asked, "It seems that General Serov knows a lot about Egypt!" ”

Not only is it to understand, this question is asked, how the world will evolve in the next few decades, is in Serov's mind, unless there is no one on this blue star who does not know whether there is a god who does not know whether there is a long-term vision.

"Mr. Nasser, the push for Arab nationalism, the key point is on you!" Serov first praised Nasser, and then said, "So, your authority must be established!" There is also a power that no one but you will obey! No one but you can command this power! ”

"Republican Guard? This force is already there! Nasser knew what Serov meant as soon as he heard it, and the establishment of the Republican Guard was a matter of great concern to Nasser. It can be said that Serov's original proposal was in Nasser's hands, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly with the newly established Republican Guard.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Serov did not fool Nasser at all, he could only say that the two of them thought of going together, and Serov's proposal was only good for Nasser's Egypt, and there was no harm.

"Anyone is ambitious, Mr. Nasser!" "To deal with these people, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the armed forces of the Republican Guard, but the size of the Republican Guard is only two divisions, so where these two divisions are placed is very important!" ”

Although Nasser did not say it directly, Serov could also guess it, I am afraid that it is more internal than external, since Nasser himself is embarrassed to say it, Serov does not mind piercing this layer of window paper, and directly says what Nasser himself wants to say, "Cairo is the capital of Egypt, the center of no doubt." With Cairo in control, Mr. Nasser's ideals will be realized, so I propose that the Republican Guard be stationed in Cairo, and that it be the only military force that can be stationed in Cairo, and that no other general can have troops stationed in Cairo......"

This trick was learned from the Assad family in Syria in later generations, and did it work? That is, after the fall of Egypt and Libya, Assad's still lively commander of the Republican Guard and the rebels have been fighting back and forth. If the Republican Guard in Iraq had not encountered the United States himself, Saddam Hussein would not have been killed.

It can be said that what Serov did at this time was completely to teach Nasser how to be a dictator, but this is not a bad thing, at least compared to the power of the Brotherhood, Nasser's policy is completely in line with the following adjectives, great, glorious, correct! (To be continued)
