The problem with Arabs is not within them. Even if religious forces are strong, they are not strong enough to be able to see the gap between Arabs and Europe. People with insight exist, and in this era they can steadily suppress religious forces. Nasser, Assad, and Gaddafi are all trying their best to develop the country. But these people eventually failed one by one. Only Assad in Syria has not bowed their heads in later generations. Except for Syria, all secular regimes have been eliminated, and only a group of emirates have been left behind in the Middle East.

The United States is eliminating the Arab countries with stable regimes. This is not necessarily a secular regime. The standard depends on whether it is kneeling down to the United States. This is exactly the opposite of the Soviet Union's standards. After the oil surge, the situation the Soviet Union has to face will definitely be different. Will those oil-producing countries in the Persian Gulf change the local balance of power?

"Except for Iraq, neither Egypt nor Syria nor South Yemen can be considered oil-rich countries, and this is even more so in South Yemen. With the rise of oil prices, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the small countries around the Persian Gulf will get better and better. Will this impact our strategic layout? We must know that countries with large oil reserves are emirates, and they are our enemies." Selov pointed out that some countries, including Saudi Arabia and Iran, are extremely hostile to the Soviet system, even if the Soviet Union supports Arab countries to fight against Israel.

The king is the enemy and religion is the enemy. A country with these two factors is destined to be unhappy with the Soviet Union.

"This is a problem. Saudi Arabia and Iran will benefit from the surge in oil prices this time, and Egypt and Syria will not be so easy, but things are still not too bad." Central Secretary Andropov evaluated, "Is Selov worried that the leadership of the Arab world will be lost from Egypt? It should not be. Egypt has always been regarded as the leader of the Arab world, especially after this war, Egypt and Syria have recovered lost territory, and Jordan has also restored some territory in addition to Jerusalem, but the casualty rate is not very good compared to Israel."

"Since this problem exists, we will help our allies from other aspects, and we can only help them develop. Apart from oil, the strongest thing in the Soviet Union is the military field, and we will build them into a military power." Ustinov talked endlessly when he said this. In his opinion, nothing is more important than developing a military.

"It is necessary to develop their armed forces, but this is still far from enough. Simply, the natural environment of Syria, Iraq and Egypt is much stronger than that of Saudi Arabia. It is still appropriate to place some industries there." Serov thought for a while, "Our department should speed up the use of optical cables to the Middle East, and set up people's telephone companies in those countries to promote telephone business to the Middle East through cooperation, and occupy the market first. Those countries have hundreds of millions of people, and maybe more than hundreds of millions of people are already there, and their fertility rate is so high."

"Very good. If you don't have oil, you will develop other industries. Will you not survive without oil?" Andropov nodded in approval. The three of them then gave the results of the post-war assessment to Brezhnev, waiting for the General Secretary's instructions.

While the diplomats of the United States and the Soviet Union were still traveling through the Middle East, the three people who were ordered by the General Secretary began to take action. The TASS first issued a feat of congratulating the Arab coalition on regaining lost lands, and then stated that the Middle East was in a general balance, peace had arrived, etc. Finally, it expressed the traditional friendship between the Soviet Union and Arab countries, and the need to develop good relations in the future, etc. "The Soviet Union has an obligation to help the Middle East achieve peace, of course, first of all, improve the quality of life of the local people. For example, the advancement of communication technology."

Egypt first gave a positive response to the Soviet Union. Kupriyanovich People's Telephone Company was first established in Cairo. As the inventor of civilian mobile phones, Kupriyanovich followed Kosykin to Cairo to visit Egypt after the Middle East War.

"What kind of revolution is exporting? It is obviously the group of Mao girls who played a big role." The Mao girls whom Selov mentioned were his wife who returned to China after studying in Moscow more than ten years ago. Among them, Mubarak's second wife. The result of this group of people blowing the pillow wind obviously played a huge role, which was much more useful than exporting the revolution.

Mubarak is the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian armed forces and the commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the 11-National Alliance. He believes that his status will be more stable after this war. Mubarak, who is 45 years old, has one of his wife a thirty-year-old Russian. The two have two children. It is the pro-Soviet powerful class that is now common in Egypt that has allowed the relationship between the Soviet Union and Egypt to continue to be harmonious.

With Egypt as an example, Syria and Iraq also expressed their interest, and Libya also expressed its willingness to set up communications companies in its own country. It seems that the relationship between the Soviet Union and Arab countries has been promoted after this war.

Kosykin was greatly welcomed in Cairo, and his daily itinerary was full. At the same time, Egypt's neighbor Ethiopia also welcomed a guest. KGB Vice Chairman Zinev. Zinev naturally did not want to come to this beggar country, but if the visit result was linked to the bonus, you could try it.

"This country is the East African water tower. If we control it, it will not only affect one country. If we can gain a foothold here, the entire northeastern Africa will be unobstructed. At the same time, it will eliminate the threat from Sudan to the southeast, realize a strategic offensive against the Congo, and open up the route to the south." Zinev recalled the words of his boss Selov.

As Zinev got off the plane, he saw that the situation in this country was not good, and it was just a trivial matter for people to wear clothes. Zinev believed that many people could call it this way, walking with skeletons with human skin.

At this time, Ethiopia encountered drought. Natural disasters were normal in Africa. We should not pay too much attention to it, but we were afraid of comparisons. Although the Sudan next to us also suffered losses, with the original accumulation, domestic engineering facilities and the help of the Soviet Union, it was not affected too much by the drought. On the contrary, Ethiopia starved to death by starving hundreds of thousands of people. In this comparison, it is not surprising that there is any problem, and it is surprising that there is no problem.

"The conditions are not bad." Zinev, who was rushing to the barracks in the car, commented secretly that what he said was not the economic and social level of the country, but the soil for revolution. In this case, it is easy to break out in revolution.

The KGB's view of Africa is basically negative, and the evaluation of the establishment of countries by North Africa and Arabs is not high. In addition to North Africa, Africa is mainly divided into three parts, West Africa, East Africa and South Africa. The three parts are also evaluated differently, among which the East Africa region is the highest, and it is believed that if this place is revolutionized, it will definitely be stronger than the other two regions.

There is civilization in East Africa. African civilization is mainly in East Africa. As for West Africa, it is a group of primitive people. Not to mention that they have not developed well now, they have not even developed well in history. The black people in West Africa and the black people in East Africa are completely different from their personalities, physiques and appearances. There were also dynasties established by blacks in ancient Egypt.

In a short while, Zinev arrived at the military camp, which belongs to the Military Consultative Committee. He would meet some intermediate officers from Ethiopia here. The senior officers had been detained. Even Haier Selasi I was under house arrest, let alone those nobles.

Zinev also did his homework before coming, but he did not find any trace of the French. France had increasingly ambitions as its national strength recovered, which can be seen from the actions of Africa. France, which was just a country that was carried into the United Nations at the beginning of World War II, was just a country that was carried into the United Nations, but with the establishment of the Fifth Republic, Charles de Gaulle's careful governance played a role, and France got rid of the role of soy sauce.

This also includes the contribution of the Soviet Union, which allowed France to have Algeria, an overseas province, and was not affected by the oil crisis. It is also true that France's development is far faster than its old rival Britain. In addition, France only nominally gave up its colonies, so its power in Africa did not shrink, but instead it was completely eliminated and there was no enemy.

In recent years, France not only continued to maintain its influence in its original colonies, but instead began to intervene in the original British African countries. Before the Soviet Union took action against the Congo, France joined forces with Britain to form a mercenary to fight back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo two years ago, but the mercenaries failed and were defeated by Mombot.

It is good news that no French forces were found in Ethiopia, which made Zinev have certain expectations for this trip.

Not long after, Zinev met the officers of the Military Coordination Committee. The ranks of these officers were generally not high, and there was no general. It was these people who controlled the country. Zinev was welcomed by these middle and low-level officers. The Soviet Union brand was still very influential.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Mengstu. Welcome you General Zinev. You have also seen that our country is not in good condition now." After a short time of chatting between the two sides, an officer who looked very elegant shook hands on his own initiative.

Zinev was stunned. He remembered that he mentioned this person at the KGB internal meeting. Although the chairman said it was vague, the name was him. When he looked closely, he was still energetic in addition to being a little darker in skin.

"Lt. Col. Mengerstu, you are so young, it's really amazing." Zinev took the initiative to stretch out his hand, which made Mengerstu feel very fond. During his training in the United States, he was discriminated against everywhere. At that time, he vowed to keep a distance from the Americans. Now it seems that the Soviets are pretty good.
