"I have asked Mr. Philip to come to us today just to inform you of something! The sale of weapons to Algeria will not stop, no country can threaten the USSR, and that, of course, includes France! "But that's not necessarily a bad thing for the French!" With or without the participation of the Soviet Union, France would not be able to exterminate the Algerian guerrillas, and with the cooperation of our Soviet Union, perhaps the effect would be much better than the huge military effort you expended......"

"General Serov, you cannot convince us with this statement, and it seems to me that it is still a defense for the arms interests of your KGB!" If he had been persuaded by Serov in a few words, Philip, the consul, would have been too incompetent. If someone pulls out a knife and tells you that I robbed you for your own good, or the next one will kill you! Would you believe it? That's how Philip feels now.

"I'm not asking you to understand the position of our KGB, our contacts with the Algerian National Liberation Front will continue, and trust between the two sides will definitely increase as time goes on! At that time, the organizational structure and important leadership of those partisans will not be a secret to us in the Soviet Union! I can know where their secret camp is, and I know each other's contact codes! Serov stood up and straightened his shirt and turned his back to Consul Philip and said, "We still have room for cooperation, now you can continue to fight the partisans by military means, if the future does not work, remember our meeting today!" You can contact us, as long as you French can afford it, I don't mind cooperating with imperialism once! No matter how great internationalism is, it is not as important as our KGB bonus, goodbye ......"

According to the current situation, it is simply unrealistic to expect Philip to have a consul impression that the decision of French diplomacy is not at all, and the meeting between the two sides is only to let the French know that the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Algerian National Liberation Front will not listen to Serov's nonsense in a short time. When military tactics have failed, one may think of uniting with the Soviet Union and letting the Soviet Union sell off the Algerian National Liberation Front.

Of course, this is all Serov's assumption, and it is difficult to say what the future trend of the situation will be. Now even his own secretary does not understand the meeting with the French consul, "Why should we help the French?" They, like the Americans, are our enemies, General! ”

"There are no American troops on French soil! This is different from many countries! I'd love to see what kind of results France could do on our side if France preserved some of its strength! Serov explained, touching the woman's head. Two big countries in one camp will also produce contradictions! ”

Serov was talking about France, but in fact, he was thinking about the relationship between China and the Soviet Union. The relationship between China and the Soviet Union is much more complicated than the relationship between the United States and France, the border between the two countries was one of the longest borders in the world before the collapse of the Soviet Union, this is still the state after the establishment of the state, if Mongolia belongs to one of the countries of China and the Soviet Union, the only function of this border is to create a natural mortal enemy, China and the Soviet Union are too close to the border, the border is too long, a little hostility can cause the other side to be a huge fear.

There is also a dark consideration in Serov's mind, that is, he wants to know the possibility of a future. That's what happens if there are too many Greens in mainland France. Specifically, will it cause a civil war? If Algeria were still in French hands, this scenario would well have been likely.

European politicians in this era are not as brainless as later generations, and ordinary people are still somewhat hostile to people of completely different beliefs, if there are too many Green Christians on the other side of the Iron Curtain, as an enemy of NATO, Serov is still very much looking forward to seeing how the other side will deal with it, and it is best if a conflict breaks out.

As long as the Soviet Union does not disintegrate, those European countries will not have the opportunity to lie on the corpse of the socialist camp and suck blood, and they will not reach the level of welfare society in later Europe. At least not that high welfare system. So what kind of attitude will Europeans who are still working for themselves face the swarm of stowaways, and everything will appear. If it is more extreme, it is not impossible to produce another Führer.

If Algeria were to do that, Europe might soon reach the size of the twenty-first century. This may be good news for the Soviet Union, because when the time comes, stirring up national antagonism and stifling the potential of some of these countries will be equivalent to reducing some of the pressure on the Soviet Union. Therefore, based on these considerations, Serov did not hesitate to carry out imperialist cooperation with France, and the French thought that they had earned it. But in the end, whether the consequence is to gain or lose is something that is difficult to say.

Serov, who is preparing to return to China, also has to arrange work in several directions, and the Aswan military base on the Sudanese side has the advantage of being geographically advantageous to liaise with that side, and Colonel Igor is the commander there, so Serov is very relieved about the situation in Sudan.

As for the news from the Iraqi side and Algeria, Serov left a group of comrades from the Middle East Division to observe, believing that these professionals would be able to handle these matters well.

When I returned to the territory of the Soviet Union, everything was gone, the two largest leaders of the First General Directorate had left, and Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, who was not obvious, became the new head of the First General Administration, and I don't know if the new boss was good to serve, Serov, who had changed into winter clothes, re-experienced the severe cold of winter, this familiar feeling is still relatively wonderful, one side of the water and soil raises the other, Serov, who has adapted to this weather since he was a child, has never felt how bad it is to be cold, At least the cold wind can make him feel a hundred times more energetic at any time, and it works better than any refreshing tonic.

Serov, who changed the boss, did not dare to play a character this time, and went directly to the headquarters of the First General Directorate without even returning home, and got off the train, and first met his new boss. The new head of the 1st Main Directorate, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, is less than fifty years old, but he looks much younger than Panyushkin, the tall Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky has thick hair, and he is not at all inferior to the former director Panyushkin in terms of aura.

"Major General Serov, Director of the Department of Foreign Intelligence?" Although Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky used a question sentence, he said affirmatively on his expression, "The Middle East is a hot spot in the world, and your eyes are still very keen......"

Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky's sense of Serov can be said to be good, because like Serov, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky is not in the Soviet Union all the year round, and is always around Eastern Europe to monitor the movements of Eastern European countries, so for Serov, who is always on business trips, this person has the same feeling as me.

Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky's attitude relieved Serov in the face of the new director, it seems that the first meeting between the two is not bad, and he has preliminarily passed the first hurdle of the new director, but immediately the next question began to make Serov nervous, "But your approach to the Algerian issue is not small, which surprises me very much!" ”

"I'm just thinking about the interests of our USSR! Whether it is France or Algeria, it has nothing to do with us who wins or loses this war, I only care about where our interests are! Serov explained, "Director Sakhatowsky, I think that although the French side has military power, the war will not end in a few years!" There will be enough time in the future for us to adjust our policy and guarantee the best interests of our USSR! ”

Hearing Serov's explanation, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky nodded his approval and said that Serov, as the director of the Department of Foreign Intelligence, was able to go to Egypt on his own, which in itself left a good impression on Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky.

Then Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky asked the last point, that is, the political situation in Sudan, Sudan can be said to be the biggest harvest of Serov's trip to the Middle East, and now General Aboud and the KGB have given the Soviet Union the opportunity to control this African power, there is no need to say much about Sudan's land resources, almost everyone understands this, if it were not for the fact that Egypt's position is too important, maybe the Soviet Union's key support object will become Sudan.

"You've done a great job in Sudan!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky said, "We have a country as a springboard to go deep into Africa, if it weren't for the fact that I had just taken over the First Directorate for less than a month, and now I would like to issue you a commendation order, and now I owe you for the time being, I believe I will be ......able to make up for it soon for you."

"The director is polite, everything I did was for the sake of the Soviet Union!" Serov's heart that he had been carrying finally fell to the ground, and it seemed that the first hurdle in front of the new director had passed.

"Haven't you been home yet? Give you a few days off first! Go home with your wife, I've heard something about you! Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky said with an ambiguous smile, "You have been abroad for so long at one time, it is estimated that your wife is already in a hurry, so spend more time with her anxious family these days, and then come to work......

After Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky finished speaking, he sent Serov out of his office with a smile, which was regarded as a full courtesy to the director of the Foreign Intelligence Department, so that Serov would not feel uncomfortable when he returned to the First Main Directorate three months after leaving the Soviet Union, and at the same time, it could be regarded as showing some people that even if the First Main Directorate changed its director, there would be no change, and everything would still be the same as before.
