Big Time 1958
Chapter 223: shared interests
"The pursuit of traitors cannot be overemphasized. Agents from any country present here can participate in the pursuit, and after success, they will receive bonuses according to the difficulty of the task!" Shelov said generously, "Even a target person can Allow multiple groups of agents from different countries to receive tasks, and whoever succeeds will get the bonus. Mobilize the enthusiasm of our intelligence organization, of course, this is just a small episode of today's meeting, we have more important things to talk about. "
It’s not too much to chase and kill traitors, let alone ordinary secret agents who defect, even if Stalin’s daughter is not honest and has a tendency to cover up this aspect, Serov will still hunt and kill. I believe that Stalin under the Nine Springs will not blame him. For a leader like Stalin, the significance of the Soviet Union is far more important than a daughter.
What can impress the intelligence agencies of these countries to cooperate with the KGB? Of course, we can't use ideals, and we can't expect everyone to be a communist. It's more commonplace, using power and money. Departments like the KGB have an untouchable question: how much trust do leaders have in them? This is the question on the minds of every intelligence leader. It can be said that as a powerful organization, all directors are thinking about a question, how to prevent themselves from becoming the part of the country that is abandoned one day. Therefore, the KGB found these colleagues who were also facing difficulties, and almost achieved a hit-and-run effect.
It is impossible for each intelligence agency to independently face the pressure from its own country. This pressure must be shared. If it is a military alliance such as the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union helps other countries in the chariot for the benefit of its own country It means that the allies of the intelligence department are more active. Every intelligence department, including the KGB, has this need to find allies.
They want to keep the rights they have already got. This is the original intention of these intelligence departments willing to cooperate with the KGB, their own departments are too dangerous. If you want to stay away from danger, you need to cuddle together to keep warm. This was the basis for their initial joint success, and now it's time for the next step.
What this step needs is not rights, at least not only rights. Uniting together to keep warm is based on maintaining rights, but to take the initiative to attack with unified action, it is not enough to just use rights, but also interests, in short, money…
"This is our KGB's earnings in Africa this year!" While speaking, Serov handed over a copy of this year's KGB's earnings list in Africa to others. Of course, this is a list compressed by 70%. There are about three or four billion income above. Don't underestimate this amount of money, not every intelligence agency is like the KGB, and needs to maintain an armed force of more than 600,000. These soldiers, like the Red Army, are equipped with weapons and usually military training is money. Together, the two armies of the Internal Guard and the Border Guard can eat up the Soviet Union's allocation to the KGB.
The above list details the operations of the KGB in Africa. For the intelligence agencies of these countries, hundreds of millions of funds are already a lot of expenses. In the face of the olive branch thrown by Shelov, everyone was very excited. Not to mention the list above is pretty clear. This is not the benefit of the whole of Africa, but concentrated in a few countries in Africa. This is also very understandable, because this year is the year of African independence, many countries have just become independent, and the KGB has not established a network to operate.
After these colleagues had digested all the information on the list, Shelepin asked Lieutenant General Sakhartowski of the First General Administration to explain the KGB's operation in Africa, but no one said anything. They were all quietly listening to Lieutenant General Sakhartowski's explanation. In the face of this huge income, it is false that they say that they are not jealous.
The Soviet Union's understanding of Africa can be said to be earlier than all countries. Even earlier than China, which started the same way. Khrushchev took the anti-imperialist and anti-colonial waves in Africa when he broke into Africa under the banner of supporting the national liberation movement. At that time, Khrushchev was keen on propagating "peaceful transition to socialism" and wanted to create several models of "peaceful transition" in Africa. To this end, Khrushchev focused on a few countries in North and West Africa such as Egypt, Algeria, Ghana, Guinea and Mali. The main policy adopted is to provide support in international diplomacy and economy, plus some necessary assistance. The Soviet Union's focus was, first, to expand the Soviet Union's political influence, and secondly, to defeat the West in strategy. But with the ouster of Khrushchev and changes in the situation of some African countries, the focus of Soviet policy on Africa has changed.
Later, after Brezhnev came to power, he re-examined the foreign policy of the Soviet Union and publicly denounced Khrushchev's whole set of useless waste in Africa. The goal at that time was to take control of the two treasure troves on which the West depends: the energy trove of the Persian Gulf and the mines of southern Africa, and to take a massive offensive.
But the Soviet Union did not have an urgent need for Africa's vast common resources. Because the Soviet Union is not short of resources, although the cost of mining is a little higher, it will not be better than going across the Mediterranean to operate in Africa. The purpose of the Soviet Union in Africa has always been based on making quick money, while waiting for opportunities to build a socialist country.
Now, because the KGB needs to complete its financial independence as soon as possible, and at the same time cannot waste Khrushchev's statement on African issues this year, it must speed up its march to Africa. Originally, from the point of view of interests, Serov could completely let the KGB eat this big cake, but considering the overall situation, he still couldn't do it. How can the Soviet Union give other countries a soup to eat meat, otherwise who will mess with you? What's more, this is an era when the Soviet Union's aura of progress is still very strong. If you don't take advantage of the good reputation of anti-imperialist and anti-feudalism, it will not be so smooth when the Americans react.
Therefore, this time, we must not eat alone. The KGB's entry into Africa must take Romania, Bulgaria, the GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary together to create a grand appearance.
"Everyone sees it? In fact, we KGB can do this independently, but this kind of win-win cooperation cannot be done by ourselves, but also requires the help of our allies." Shelov looked at these intelligence department colleagues very seriously. , "We are assisting African industries, and obtaining raw materials is not exploiting them. It is a win-win situation that benefits both parties. If we don't help them, no country will help them..."
The morality of Western countries is that raw materials can be bought with money, and the finished products will be sold to you. Aid to industry to help newly independent countries complete the industrial base aid, don't even think about it, they will never do it. At least in this era, apart from the socialist countries that will provide industrial assistance, other countries don't even think about it.
"Everyone knows the situation in Romania. The economy is not as good as that of Czechoslovakia and the GDR, and the population is far worse than that of Poland, so I think this is an opportunity for our country. The resources of Africa are also very good for building Romania. Help, and at the same time, as Comrade Serov said, our cooperation with the newly independent African countries is a win-win!" Ilysescu, who has been playing with metal lighters, said seriously, "I am willing to communicate with China and work with the Soviet comrades. Completing the Africa Strategy."
"We, Poland, just insist on working in Algeria!" Poland's Minister Korzinski also said that in his opinion, if the matter in Algeria can be done, it can become Poland's second choice for energy, and the first choice is the Soviet Union . Moreover, Poland is also very envious of the Soviet Union's operations in Egypt and Sudan, and wants an option that is closer to Europe.
Big Bobo still feels so good about himself, even if the country you choose is good, it depends on who your opponent is. Although France is slowly declining, at least it cannot be completed in a year or two. There is no problem in cleaning up a Poland.
Shelov's rare conscience discovery, with an internationalist tone, suggested, "Let's change another country, after all, Algeria may not make progress in the short term."
"No, we in Poland don't have the extra power to invest elsewhere!" Korzinski simply refused.
I hope you will not regret it when you come. Sheloff secretly shook his head. In fact, African black uncles are relatively easy to deal with. If it wasn't for the fact that Western countries looked down on Africa and were unwilling to give even basic things, they would not let China in later generations. Killing the Quartet, one can imagine the integrity of the capitalists in terms of respect, they would rather watch Africans die than support even a little industrial base. To say that a socialist country has a conscience is not a compliment at all. After learning socialism, the obvious potential of African countries will increase a little bit, but only a little bit.
We communicated for a long time and determined the African countries' assistance to be dealt with by their own countries. Some of them are like the point-to-point assistance of later generations. Each Warsaw Pact country should deal with a newly independent African country, and the Soviet Union will be responsible for the rest of the countries.
"Comrade Marcus, wait a minute, we're talking!" Serov said after the meeting took Marcus Wolfe's hand.
This intelligence meeting decided that the KGB would lead the intelligence services of the other six countries to march into Africa. What Serov values most here is the role of the Democratic Republic of Germany. After all, Germany is the only country in these countries that has experienced the colonial era, and there have also been many colonies in Africa. The Soviet Union only has so many allies that can be regarded as a help, so it is natural to use it well. After returning to the Soviet Union, Serov once investigated the restrictions imposed by the Soviet Union on the GDR, not to mention anything else. First, the oil the GDR got from the Soviet Union has always been twice the international oil price, and the iron ore in the GDR has always been It is distributed on demand, while other Warsaw Pact countries do not have this restriction.
