Chapter Thirty-Eight: Stormy Waves at the Negotiating Table

Albert's deepest impression of the Soviet Union was Stalin's extremely arrogant words, "Pope, how many divisions does he have?" "In their opinion, there is nothing that cannot be solved by war, and if there is, it must be that you have not invested enough troops.

For this kind of fighting nation that can't be reasoned with you, Albert actually has no bottom in his heart, and the Belgian army has a total of only 18 infantry divisions, of which 6 are reserve divisions, two cavalry divisions, and two Ardennes Chaser divisions. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, had 175 divisions, and this number of troops was not enough to stuff their teeth.

Albert is not worried that the transaction will fail and there will be a formed army to kill him, but according to the tradition of the KGB of the Soviet Union, it is estimated that their agents have been ambushed in this vicinity, once the negotiations break down, it is absolutely impossible for Albert to get out alive, and for this reason, Albert dispatched all the paramilitaries of the strategic resource cooperation company to ambush near the negotiation site, in order to prevent the Soviets from taking military action.

"Cheer up, if the boss has three long and two short, we won't have a good life." Captain Allen loaded the gun in his hand and elbowed the security personnel behind him, who were the second team in charge of support, who were hiding in a small black room in the building next to the negotiation building in full armor, and quickly rushed in to rescue the boss if the situation did not for them.

Directly opposite the building, the scope of a sniper rifle armed with an SVD sniper rifle swept over the face of every Soviet negotiator, and if they dared to make a rash move, the sniper could ensure that none of the armed men inside would get out alive.

Albert, who was sitting at the negotiating table, was closing his eyes and recuperating, when suddenly the door was opened, and five Soviet negotiators in suits and leather shoes walked in, followed by four soldiers with loaded guns, all with cold eyes and expressionless faces, it seems that these guys are KGB agents in charge of the security of Soviet experts, which is quite in line with the screen image.

It's 1946, and the KGB is not called the State Security Council, but the Ministry of State Security. The sharp-eyed Albert immediately recognized one of the so-called negotiators as the head of the Ministry of State Security, Viktor Semenovich Abakumov.

"Even this guy is here in person, it seems that the Checas are very serious about this transaction, does this also mean that there are so many agents in ambush outside that it may cause a war?" Albert sat down with a non-moving expression, thinking to himself that Stalin would still send such a trusted high-level to participate in this kind of thing.

Viktor Semenovich Abakumov was Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR and Head of the Main Directorate of Counterespionage until 1946, and from 1946 to 1951 he was Minister of State Security of the USSR. However, in 1954, this unlucky man was executed in Leningrad's Levshevo Forest for participating in the "Beria Gang", and was stripped of all his military ranks, medals, and honorary titles, even though the Supreme Court of the USSR refused to rehabilitate him many years later.

Albert had the impression that this guy was an out-and-out opportunist, similar to Dai Li's kind of person who was a little clever but not big-pictured, and it was no wonder that Beria and Khrushchev were on the wrong side of the battle for Stalin's succession and were executed.

Of the remaining four Soviet experts, all but three of them have their names in them, but Albert is known by his name, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, the future father of the Soviet Union's rocketry, and Braun is known as the founder of the two major rocket technologies of the United States and the Soviet Union. Albert wondered how wonderful it would be if Braun could get it with him. It is estimated that the development of space technology in the United States and the Soviet Union will have to be postponed for several decades.

Albert handed the blueprints to the Soviet rocket experts, who took them over and carefully examined each piece of data, and then kept talking in Russian, and after about half an hour, Viktor Semenovich Abakul, who had lost his patience, directly interrupted the experts' discussion, "Gentlemen, have you got a result?" ”

"With all due respect, Comrade Victor." Korolev, who was the spokesman, raised his head and said, "No one dares to say that this kind of thing is 100 percent useful, because no one has actually tried it, but a considerable part of the data on this design map is consistent with the data of the plan we are developing now, so I think there is a 50 percent probability that the missile in this design will be able to be used." ”

"You're saying you can't be 100% sure that the blueprints will work?" Victor was a little dissatisfied with this answer.

"At present, our research process has not been able to develop a rocket, and it can only be said that the level of this design has exceeded our research progress too much, so I think it is necessary to get it." The other three rocket experts also agreed.

"You make a price, and the Soviet government can meet any of your requirements." Looking at Albert's childish face, Viktor said confidently, "Even if you want an armored division, our Soviet government can provide it to you." ”

"I said that last time that comrade ran all the way back, he didn't explain to you what my trading conditions were?" Albert stared coldly at the director of the intelligence department in front of him, "What I need is your Soviet nuclear physicist and the construction of nuclear facilities, if you can't do it or want to be perfunctory, I think it would be better for me to make this deal with the Americans." ”

Victor really had a feeling that he would not open a pot and mention a pot, and the order given to him by the top level of the Party Central Committee was not to exchange with him with the nuclear technology at hand until it was absolutely necessary.

"Your Highness Albert, you know that nuclear technology, as a core national secret, is not a technology that can be sold casually......" Victor was about to put on a tirade fooling tutorial, Albert directly interrupted him, "I don't want to listen to nonsense, my bottom line is the Soviet Union's nuclear physics experts and industrial facilities, if you can't do this, please go back and think about it again, of course, I will also contact the Americans to see if they need this kind of weapon equipped with a nuclear warhead that can hit the territory of the Soviet Union." ”

Annoyed, Victor slapped the table and stood up and rebuked, "Your Highness Albert is threatening us?" ”

"There is no threat, it's just that the negotiations have broken down." Albert also signaled him not to be so excited, "Maybe you don't know how many guns are aimed at your head outside the window, and if you want to grab it, I can assure you that you are the first to die." ”

Albert said this even more absolutely, but he does have unbridled capital, and he can even talk to you about business in a tone that you like to get out of here, after all, in addition to you, the Soviet Union, the United States is also interested, but it is a little less likely than the Soviet Union to agree to exchange nuclear technology for ballistic missile technology. This is also why Albert preferred the Soviet Union over the United States.

"If the Soviet Union had agreed to the construction of nuclear facilities, it would have made a potential ally in Europe." This time, it was Albert's turn to pour ** soup into Victor, "Belgium is located at the crossroads of Western Europe, with West Germany on top and the English Channel to the west, which means that the unique environment makes him a sought-after strategic location." If the Soviet army can be deployed here, then it can threaten West Germany, and I am afraid that even Great Britain will not be calm when it goes west, who do you say this deal is more beneficial? ”

The negotiation between countries is about the word interests, don't look at Albert's blowing to you now, it's not impossible to turn your face with you after making nuclear weapons, jokes, Belgium is a constitutional monarchy with real power, you tell me about communism? Then I'll send you to the prison to pick up soap.

"I can't make decisions about this level of trading, so I need to ask." Victor hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"No problem, what we have is time." Albert made a gesture of please, and at the same time, the Celestial Eye lurking in his mind suddenly communicated with him on the level of consciousness.

"I noticed two groups of people approaching the building, could it be that the other party wants to prepare for black and black?" Tianyan reminded.

Albert's face immediately changed when he heard this, and his eyes gestured to Victor, who was standing next to him, who immediately took out his pistol and aimed it at Victor.

At the same time, the four people on the other side also pulled out their pistols and aimed at Albert's group of five people, and the atmosphere instantly drew swords. The Soviet experts who had never seen the world were scared out of their minds, and only Korolev was left calmly looking at the group of people who drew their guns.

"What's going on?" Victor is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, even if he is pointed to the head with a gun, he is not afraid at all.

Albert sneered, "Mr. Victor, it's not good to be untrustworthy, and he said that he wanted to make a good deal in front of him, and he sent two teams of people to come here to play black and black?" ”

"What centaurs?" Victor frowned, "Our people didn't act at all, where did the two teams of people come from?" ”

Hearing this, Albert only thought of a possibility that made him quite uneasy, and this thought also blurted out subconsciously.

"Oh no, is it the damned Americans coming?"
