Chapter 469: The Shackles of Egypt
The KGB President's Office has never been so lively. This is the intelligence center of Ruby Yangka, the Soviet Union and the entire socialist camp. There are as many as one million security personnel directly serving Ruby Yangka. From the perspective of departments alone, the KGB personnel can be regarded as having high power, and the division of labor between the major subordinate bureaus is different and almost all important departments are involved.
For cadres from other departments, they are generally unwilling to be involved in Ruby Yangka. Except for the fact that there is something that requires the KGB to cooperate, there are separate department cadres to stay for a while, this is the first time this is the leader of other departments.
"Comrade Tikunov, it's almost enough. Are you afraid that you can't sleep at night when you drink so much coffee?" Selov wanted to pretend that he didn't see Tikunov's actions, but this guy was a little too much. There were not many sources of Soviet coffee, and most places that produce good coffee have to come in through smuggling channels. The key is that Cuba cannot only supply the Soviet Union. The entire socialist camp and even China have a share, and the supply of coffee in the Soviet Union is also relatively tight.
"Selov should not be so excited. Who doesn't know that the Ministry of Finance cannot interfere with the funding of your KGB. Besides, you still have intelligence network channels around the world, which is easier than us." Tykunov welcomed the ministers of other departments, and he looked like he had confiscated the homes of the nobles when the Soviet Union was just established.
Tykunov didn't do this when he was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why do he now have such a virtue? He has fallen? As for what the other party said, he can completely fart. Of course, the KGB's finances are fine, but they have to be compared with which department. The Oil Tiger from the Ministry of Petroleum Industry came to his headquarters to cry for poverty, which is really embarrassing!
"Okay, just tell me your purpose! It's for the Sudan matter? But I want to remind comrades, as proletarian revolutionaries and internationalist warriors, we must pay attention to eating habits, haha." Shelov, who looked extremely serious at the beginning, couldn't help laughing at the end of his speech.
The entire chairman's office was filled with laughter. This smile had a little tacit meaning. Originally, why is there a place without value worthy of the KGB planning a coup? If it were a place where birds would not shit, who would care about it? The mouth was full of politicism, and the mind was about business.
Ministers from these departments came to Rubiy Yangka not idle to congratulate him, but involved the interests of their own departments. Shelov, who needed to prepare to go to Sudan, focused on investigating what resources they needed. If Slov said this, Sudan should first become a major agricultural and animal husbandry power to supplement the shortcomings of agriculture and animal husbandry due to climate problems. From the Soviet Union's latitude, it was almost impossible to level the US food and meat supply per capita. To be fair, the Soviet Union had Kazakhs and Mongolia as a supplement. The conditions could not be too bad. If any opponent could crush it, even Brazil in South America would not be able to do better than the Soviet Union. But the problem is that the United States' climate and territory were better than the Soviet Union.
Just like the Soviet Union had Lake Baikal, the United States had five Dalian Lakes, the Soviet Union had Ukrainian Plain, Kazakh Grassland, Mongolian Grassland, and the United States had Mississippi Plain. Any conditions for the opponent were better than that of the Soviet Union. What was more than the United States? The Soviet Union had more permafrost than the United States.
"It's not much about oil. Rare metals are also what we need. There is also the cotton production area in northern Sudan. I have thought so much about it for the time being. If comrades need it, I can hand me a report. When I arrive in Khartoum, I will focus on investigation." Selov knew that the interests of these departments were nothing. This was also the interests of the entire Soviet Union, and there was no conflict at all.
After the bosses of these departments left, Serov had already added more than a dozen plans, all of which were needed by various departments. These people were really prepared, so they waited for him to nod and left the plans they had prepared without hesitation. I believe that the same should be true for Andropov. This cannot be rejected. In name, it is all for the interests of the Soviet Union.
When the two of them boarded the plane together, they took out the stack of plans in their bags, and smiled tacitly, treated these plans as seasonings on the journey, and could also learn about the situation and problems of other departments from it.
"The situation is much better now. When I first came to Sudan, I went from Egypt to the border by land, and then went upstream along the water to Khartoum. At that time, there was only a simple airport left in Sudan, which was not enough to allow the large passenger plane to land." Selov, who was looking at the plan, said meaningfully.
"You first went to Sudan? That was the time of Abud's coup, right?" Andropov said irrelevantly, "You should have planned the last Sudanese coup, at least you expressed your support?"
"Well, there should be no more in the future. If we come to our hands, we should build the country well! I hope this is the last coup in this country. It is better for coups to happen often in hostile countries." Xielov closed the plan in his hand. He and Andropov came to Sudan just for an early exchange. In fact, the formal delegation of the Soviet Union arrived later.
The coup will definitely not be missing hot areas for the US and the Soviet Union. If history comes, next year will be an Indonesian coup. Indonesia's coup can be said to be the worst coup in the Cold War. The whole pain is for the socialist camp, the third largest in the world, and the Indonesian one with more than 3 million members was cleaned up. This loss is simply a damaging point for China and the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union later moved back in the Vietnam War, the entire Southeast Asia offensive ended here. Without Indonesia's Southeast Asia, it would not be a complete Southeast Asia. This largest country in Southeast Asia is the largest country, and its status cannot be replaced by ordinary countries.
"It seems that you have great confidence in your students?" Andropov asked with interest. "To be honest, the Central Liaison Department is related to hundreds of forces, which are all over the world, but in fact, these forces usually will not have much success without our support. Is Sudan's success a lucky element?"
Selov nodded. The Soviet Union's revolutionary output usually fails, and of course it is not without success. Do you think it is very successful in China? China is the biggest achievement of the Soviet Union's revolution, and this achievement is still in play.
The two bosses of the external departments were also boring on the passenger plane and discussed the matter of exporting revolution. This topic immediately heated up. Selov and Andropov each were in charge, but they were both related to this topic.
"The same result, but the process is different every time. The same trick cannot be used in the end. Take Italy as an example. Since Italy, Western European countries have not taken office to rule, which shows that the United States is guarding against this situation, and the same is true for the coup. This time, we take advantage of the Sudanese's disgust with the civil war and provoke students to protest first. This situation cannot be used for the second time. If it were Iraq or other countries, those students would have died long ago." Selov told Andropov the changes in the entire Sudan, indicating that the omen had already appeared, but Selov, who had been sending people to stare at the Sudan, seized the opportunity.
"I agree with you. The potential value of Sudan is indeed worth our risk, not to mention that the adventure has been successful." Andropov also attached great importance to Sudan and talked about Sudan's problems.
"Sudan has another potential value, which is to prevent Egypt from rebelling against water. Egypt is the largest country in the Arab world, and this kind of country is not easy to control. But you also know that the desert accounts for more than 95% of the country's area, and the population of the country is around the Nile River. The Nile River is Egypt's life gate. This life gate is more important than any oil. Without oil, the industry is not strong at most, and without water will die. If Egypt has the intention of rebelling against water in the future, as long as we cast a dam in the Nile River flowing through Sudan, the Egyptians will die." Serov said with a smile, "This is the greatest value of Sudan. We have gained a foothold in Sudan. In the future, if Egypt wants to be a double-faced person, we have to consider it."
Once the Nile River is cut off, it will be a fatal threat to Egypt. The greatest value of a socialist Sudan is to put a layer of shackles on Egypt. Egypt is fine, and the Suez Canal is equivalent to being in the hands of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union will at least not collapse in the Middle East. The remaining problem is just how much success it can achieve.
As for Egypt's reaction, Selov also made his own assessment. Can Egypt turn against the water in the past few years when Sudan has not become socialist? In fact, it is OK. It is very simple. Nasser takes a default attitude towards the existence of Israel, abandons his Arab nationalism, and concentrates on being a follower. He has the capital to turn against the Soviet Union. His successors in history have done that he is not the base of Arab nationalism and live his life honestly. However, Nasser seems to not do this. In the current situation of Israel's great enemy, he will not bother with the coup of neighboring countries. By the time Egypt reacts, I believe that the overall situation in Sudan has been decided.
"It makes sense from a very novel perspective." Andropov exclaimed after careful consideration.
On the third day after the Sudanese coup, passenger planes carrying Serov and Andropov landed at Khartoum Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, they saw that one of the Lumumba Alumni Association was already waiting there. After seeing the two getting off the plane, they immediately came up and said in Russian, "Teacher, welcome to Sudan."
