"Yes General! The rainy season in North Africa starts in November! That is, we have a month! There is already a rainy season in central Sudan! Rudolph said to his commander with a straight look, his eyes swept over the two women next to Serov, and he wondered why he had gone to Sudan with two vases.

If he knew the doubts of his subordinates, Serov would definitely empathize, and he didn't want to! But I don't know Arabic yet, and I can't trust the Egyptian guide of the same sect, so I can only bring Lukani, and I must bring all of them, and there is no way, "We will set off for half an hour, and pay attention to the surrounding situation......

"Don't worry, General! The armed forces of Africa are not our opponents! Rudolph said immediately.

"I mean pay more attention to African species, things like snakes and bugs! We are not locals, we don't have the antibodies that the locals have, and we don't know which animals are poisonous and which are not! Serov rolled his eyes and explained, "I don't want to be attritioned by a spider, and the internal affairs troops will be laughed at and ......."

Serov, who is not a regular commander, can only pay attention to this kind of life details, otherwise he always feels useless, Khartoum is the capital of the Republic of Sudan. The White Nile from Uganda meets the Blue Nile from Ethiopia and flows north to Egypt and into the Mediterranean. The closer they got to Khartoum, the more uncomfortable the small internal affairs unit became, and the temperature became higher and higher, making these Soviets, who were known for their cold, as toothless tigers unable to lift their spirits.

The people of Sudan are Arabs although they are dark-skinned, and after the Sunni Arabs came to Sudan in the seventh century, after hundreds of years of conquest, they finally wiped out the Christians in Sudan and turned Sudan into an Islamic and Lan country, and the current Sudanese are now of mixed descendants of Arabs and blacks, according to Serov's words, this is a group of black and green.

Khartoum has a strong Arabic style, as far as Serov felt at first sight. Even the construction of the Qing and mosque is better than that of the government departments, and there are still black people walking in Arabic robes on the streets, and there are also men who are shirtless and wearing nothing, and these people may have reached the level of the proletariat. I can't afford to wear a robe at all.

The sudden appearance of so many heavily armed white men in the streets surprised the Arabs who saw them, and some of them looked at Serov's group with defensive eyes and whispered to them. Maybe you thought that the British colonists who had retreated had come back, "Ignore these people." Go to our office first! ”

Sudan has just been independent for a year, and the Soviet Union actually does not have an embassy in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, in fact, for this kind of place that is considered a marginal country in the third world, it is not because you are independent that people have established diplomatic relations with you, but also depends on what the value of your country is, otherwise there are many people in countries that are still ignored for independent statehood. In Serov's memory, the Chinese Embassy in the DPRK was responsible for the diplomatic work of dozens of countries, and only 20 or 30 countries in the embassy district of the DPRK had established embassies.

The Soviet Union would not have opened an embassy so soon until it had discovered the value of Sudan. The connection between the Soviet Union and the Sudan was managed by the Egyptian ambassador, and Serov had been prepared for this, so the Soviet Union still had an office here, so that Serov and his people would not be in danger of sleeping on the streets.

"Is there any British left in Sudan now?" As soon as Serov arrived at the office, he asked that the Sultan turned out to be a British colony, and it would not be surprising if there were any remnants of the British forces.

"According to our intelligence, no, General! The Sultan's status in the British colonies was also very low! "Canada and New Zealand are undoubtedly the colonies that Britain cares about the most, and then India and other countries that can benefit Britain......

"That's good!" Serov asked with a sigh of relief. "Did the Egyptian embassy inform the Sudanese prime minister that I was going to visit the Sudanese leader?"

"The Sudanese side has been notified, but the Sudanese prime minister doesn't seem to care!" This answer made Serov's heart sink, if there was no breakthrough point here in the Sultan, Serov's work could be said to have reached an impasse in a short period of time. That's not really good news," but Sudan's commander-in-chief, Ibrahim? General Aboud, I am very interested in our proposal! The comrade of the office added.

"Ibrahim? Aboud? Serov carefully recalled, but still did not find a single memory of this person, and let him recall the leadership of a third world country, which was indeed a little difficult. After all, these people have almost no influence except in their own country.

"We have to answer Egypt before November, so I will meet with the Prime Minister of Sudan in the next two days!" Serov, who had spoken two words, said with an irritated face, "I don't like this place in Khartoum, it's too hot and wet!" "Khartoum, which was known as the furnace of the world in later generations, left a very bad impression on Serov, October was the time when the dry season in Sudan was coming to an end, and the rainy season had not yet arrived, and it was supposed to be the most suitable time for the temperature, but now Serov saw the thermometer in the office, which clearly said 36 degrees.

After staying in Khartoum and enduring the hot climate for two days, the temperature on the third day finally became a little normal, which made Serov, who had been hiding indoors, a little angry, through the contact of the Egyptian Embassy, Serov got the opportunity to meet with the Prime Minister of Sudan in the evening, "You two stay here, I let the people from the office accompany me, let you be disobedient, didn't I ask you not to follow......" Looking at the two beauties who were not accustomed to the soil, Serov said softly.

"Do the people in the office know Arabic?" Lying on the bed, Lukani seemed to be in a dream.

"Poor boy, it's already a little hot and confused...... Serov shook his head and put his hand on the foreheads of the two women, "remember to be obedient in the future, I will say that you will definitely not be used to it, and you have to come with ......"

Even if it was already evening, Serov felt a strong heat wave poured into his chest along the collar as soon as he went out, and scolded this fucking weather, what should be done has to be done, entering the original British Governor's Palace, Serov and the Sudanese Prime Minister are ready to talk, Serov who entered the Governor's Palace feels a lot better, it seems that the British will still enjoy it, and he didn't sigh for long, Serov, who came to do business, began to sell his proposal when he saw the Sudanese Prime Minister.

"General Serov, I can't accept your offer! Although there are some internal problems in Sudan, they can be resolved through negotiations, and although the small-scale armed conflict cannot be quelled for the time being, as the leader of this country, I cannot expand the war because I cannot eliminate the impulse of the North and the South for the time being, and I can only say sorry for General Serov's proposal! The Sudanese prime minister did not hesitate to reject Serov's proposal and was not prepared to conscript troops to subdue the south.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is just a suggestion! So do you think that the Soviet Union sent agricultural experts to Sudan to help you increase the yield of crops, can you think about it! Serov asked reluctantly.

"We'll talk about that later!" The Prime Minister of the Sudan politely rejected Serov's suggestion, perhaps being wary of the Soviets, fearing that the British would come in as soon as they left, but in short, this attitude of vigilance was very obvious.

"Well, goodbye Mr. Prime Minister!" Serov gave the Sudanese Prime Minister a vacant look, "I hope we will have a chance to meet in the future!" Serov, who had left the Governor's Palace, was silent, and an unprecedented sense of frustration hung over him, as if his work in the Middle East had reached a bottleneck, and as if an invisible wall was preventing him from advancing.

Serov, who returned to the office, didn't say a word, and sat on a stool with a sad face, thinking about where the breakthrough point was. The attitude of the Prime Minister of Sudan was so obvious that he simply told Serov directly that the Sultan did not welcome the entry of Soviet forces.

took out the TT33 pistol on his waist, pushed out the bullets in the pistol one by one, and Serov, who was holding a cigarette, said with a cold face, "KGB work, infiltration and subversion!" Maybe I'm about to have my first coup d'état! ”

Putting the pistol away again, Serov asked the comrades in the office to put Ibrahim? Aboud was brought out, Ibrahim? Lieutenant General Aboud, commander-in-chief of the Sudanese armed forces, is a Sunni believer and advocates tough measures against blacks in the south and Arabizing them in order to guarantee the full interests of Sudan. From the current point of view, the attitude towards Egypt should be regarded as more relaxed than that of the current Sudanese prime minister, and there is not much vigilance.

Serov, who had put down the information, pursed his lips and thought, and ordered, "You guys contact Ibrahim?" General Aboud, inquire about the rumors and arrange a meeting for me in the near future! It's better to be at night, you know? ”

"Understood, General! Ibrahim? General Aboud is one of the more well-known hardliners in Khartoum! We've got you covered! The comrade, who was frightened by Serov's face just now, immediately replied.

Serov has always believed that basically problems with other countries other than the United States can be resolved through negotiations, but now it seems a bit naïve. Sometimes it is the fist that can best express its meaning, especially in the face of this kind of country that insists on its own national interests, but does not meet the interests of Serov's motherland, a military coup and d'état can make people understand who is the boss in this world!
