Chapter 90: The KGB
In the northern part of Eurasia, in a vast expanse, there was a red empire.
The people living in this land, for hundreds of years, have experienced the reforms of Peter the Great, the governance of Catherine, and the passion of the vast number of people, and staged a great counterattack against the invasion of Napoleon and Hitler from Europe, defeating the most ferocious aggressor in the history of mankind, and they have first realized the space dream of mankind, this great country, the name is the Soviet Union!
The full name is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, abbreviated as the Soviet Union. Its predecessor was the Russian Empire. Under the command of Lenin, the "October Revolution" broke out, and Soviet power was established on behalf of workers, peasants and soldiers of all nationalities. After several decades of hard work, the Soviet Union has become a red empire spanning Europe and Asia, with more than 120 nationalities, 22 million square kilometers of territory, and a population of more than 200 million.
Although the Soviet Union has developed to the present, although stability and harmony occupied a dominant position in the era of Brezhnev, there was no social turmoil caused by the recklessness and rash reforms of the Khrushchev period, and it was even more aggressive militarily, and even the United States had to fight with a spirit to deal with it, and the Soviet Union at this time was still in a period of comprehensive expansion. However, in this, a deep crisis is hidden.
Freezing three feet, not a cold, the foundation of the collapsed empire has long been unstable.
A country capable of producing the world's most advanced airplanes and tanks, capable of competing with the largest capitalist countries in scientific research, the material life of the population is extremely scarce, heavy industry is developing very strongly, and light industry is developing very slowly. What's more, in this country, bureaucracy is too rampant, and the problems of the privileged are very serious.
In this era, the values of young people are the most severe, they were born after the Great Patriotic War, and they have not experienced the cruelty of tsarism or the bitterness of capitalism. They were educated from an early age, knowing that they were living under an incomparably superior socialist system, and when they grew up as young people, they were told that they lived in the most developed countries, and that they should be full of expectations for life.
However, the reality of life is in stark contrast to their expectations: the most developed country cannot provide enough necessities of life; In this self-owned country, what should be a servant of the people is enjoying privileges, embezzlement and bribery, and living in luxury, while the masters of the country are queuing up to shop and live a difficult life because of lack of materials.
In this state, the ordinary people of Soviet society were filled with bitterness, hesitation, and apathy. Slacking off, alcoholism, lax labor discipline is serious, many people are late for work, and after arriving at the post, they hurriedly go to the street to queue up to buy new goods, and the high concentration of vodka has become their favorite, and the phenomenon of alcoholism is increasing, and now Moscow, because of alcoholism caused by various violent conflicts and traffic accidents.
The KGB has been keenly aware of all this, and as one of the most complete intelligence agencies in the world, the KGB is not only responsible for all kinds of foreign intelligence work, but also domestic intelligence work under their control, and the specific responsibility is the 12th Bureau.
However, it is very inappropriate to bother the general secretary for such a trivial matter in the country, since the beginning of this year, Breonev's physical condition has not been very good, and he often spends time in the hospital, although the KGB has sent a large number of personnel to maintain law and order in Moscow, but these things are a bit of a fuss to report to the general secretary.
And the other major event of the first game, the chairman of the KGB, Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov, had to pay attention.
The First Directorate is the Foreign Intelligence and Reconnaissance Department, which exercises leadership over the spy agencies stationed abroad and conducts intelligence reconnaissance from the Soviet Union itself, directing the work of the intelligence and reconnaissance detachments on the front line of the state security organs in their regions. These divisions, known as the First Directorate, embody the first importance of the fight against foreign enemies.
Now the head of the first bureau, General V. A. Kryuchkov, who is also the deputy chairman of the KGB, is reporting to Andropov.
"According to the investigation of our agents, there has always been a force of Americans on our Afghan battlefield, and they are constantly supplying weapons to the Afghan guerrillas, posing a great threat to our fighters." Kryuchkov said.
"Well, we have known for a long time that we have occupied Afghanistan, but we have been very troubled by these guerrillas, and we must find out how the US weapons are circulated, and then report it to the military law and crack down hard." Andropov said.
Afghanistan is located in the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau in Western Asia. It was the Soviet Union's road from land to the Indian Ocean, which had a high strategic position, and at the same time, it could also obtain the rich oil resources of the Persian Gulf.
Two years ago, with the cooperation of the Airborne Forces, 100,000 Soviet troops fully occupied Afghanistan, but the Afghan guerrillas have always been a pain in the hearts of the Soviet troops.
"In addition to that, the war between Iraq and Iran has changed a bit." Kryuchkov said.
"What's changed?" Anderborov asked.
Iraq and Iran have a lot to do with the strategy of the Soviet Union, Iran was originally pro-American, so the Soviet Union has been courting Egypt, Syria, Iraq, these countries, later, Khomeini came to power and overthrew the Pavelie dynasty, the Soviet Union originally wanted to get closer to him, but Khomeini accused himself of being a little Satan, and the Soviet Union did not follow, but it supported Iraq more.
The Soviet Union paid more attention to the war situation between Iran and Iraq.
"Two months ago, the Iraqi army won a battle in the Susan Gerd area and eliminated an Iranian armored division, and today, our satellite photos confirm that the Iraqi army is encircling and annihilating several Iranian regiments in the Karon River."
"Yes, that's great news." Anderborov said.
"Moreover, we also learned that the behind-the-scenes commander of this campaign was Saddam's youngest son, Qusay." Kryuchkov said.
Saddam's youngest son? Actually a command genius? Anderborov came interested.
"Judging from the current situation, what we have gathered is that Qusay, who was still in college in Baghdad, suddenly seems to have become a very resourceful person, first smashing the Israelis plot to bomb the nuclear reactor, and then commanding the battles of Susangilde and the Karon River.
"Use our secret agents, get close to Qusay, and win him into our socialist camp." Andropov said.
Saddam Hussein is not easy to control, and now, his son has begun to show his edge, a hairy young man who has just debuted, is easier to control than a veteran of politics for a long time.
