Big Time 1958

"Yes, I think so too, my wife Valya!" Shelov said very bluntly to the boss of the Sudanese military government. Generally speaking, it should be a happy thing to be praised by his wife. Unfortunately, General Aboud faced the wrong person, and it happens that Serov is a guy whose heart is not much bigger than a needle.

Lukani pursed her lips and translated Serov's words. General Abud couldn't identify the other party's thoughts from the tone of a guy who spoke a foreign language, but Lukani heard another meaning. Although it wasn't to protect herself, but She herself is one of Shelov's women, isn't she...

   It may be that Sultan's bumper harvest last year and this year made General Abud find a different way out. At this time, he changed his embarrassment when he came to power and showed a smug look. There is a kind of conceited demeanor, leading the Shelov couple into their official residence, introducing the different places from the original. Turkish rugs, Indian silk scarves and Egyptian relics show a shocking other side of Sudan from General Aboud's mouth.

   On the one hand, Sudan's foundation is still quite weak. Although it has ushered in a bumper harvest, it has not fundamentally improved the lives of the Sudanese people. On the other hand, these military leaders who have just come to power have begun to degenerate so quickly. Of course, you can't blame these soldiers. A group of soldiers, this situation is the most normal manifestation, and good results are the minority among the minority. One cannot expect much success from a junta.

  Today, General Abd did not receive the delegation of the Soviet Union, but showed an old-fashioned appearance. More is to let Shelov see that the Sudan under his rule is different from before, but this kind of arrogance makes Shelov and his wife sneer very much. If the other party is an American, it is fine, what are people from other countries? Confidence to boast in front of the Soviet Union? But even so. Shelov still acted like you said I listened, accompanied by the swelled General Abd.

   It wasn't him who burst this bubble. It was his wife. When General Aboud said that the number of homeless people doing nothing in Sudan had decreased this year, Valiya suddenly asked, "What is a homeless person?"

For ordinary Soviet people, the terms unemployment and wandering are so unfamiliar that they have hardly heard of them. As the first vice chairman of the KGB, Serov, he naturally knows that the Soviet Union has not completely eliminated unemployment. In addition, it has been released in recent years. Of the hundreds of thousands of gulag prisoners, the real unemployment rate in the Soviet Union should be 0.6 percent. As for homelessness, in the Soviet Union, as long as you have hands and feet, you will not starve to death. In addition to the mentally ill and disabled, even a young single mother has enough ability to raise a child while continuing to go to college to complete their studies. After all, the maternity leave of having a child is enough for a woman to have time to go to school. In between, the factory will Pay women full wages, which can make life easy under the distorted food prices of the Soviet Union.

   As for going to school, this is not a problem at all. The Soviet Union did not need money to go to school. How much you can learn depends entirely on your level. One more thing here, since Serov sent international students from the Middle East to the Soviet Union, the Ministry of Education of the People has clearly stipulated that international students need to pay tuition fees, but they can apply for exemption of tuition fees according to the degree of difficulty. Serov agrees with both hands on this point. After all, the entire Soviet education system costs a lot to maintain, and it does not make money from foreign students. The Ministry of Education is going to eat dirt.

in this case. The Soviet Union began beckoning foreign second-generation students of all kinds to fill the educational gap, while still continuing to open its doors to the best students of the third world. After all, the revolutionary can not be forgotten.

"General Aboud, I haven't seen you for three years. According to our estimation, you should have quelled the rebellion in the south? But when I came here, our embassy comrades told me that the war in the south was not over yet. It's unreasonable!" Shelov changed the subject.

  The official position of General Aboud is also a very revolutionary name, the chairman of the Sudan Revolutionary Committee. As for where the revolutionary nature of this revolutionary committee is reflected, Shelov has not discovered it yet, and may still need to observe. Maybe it's like what it says in Lord of War, every faction in Africa likes to give themselves some noble names, liberate this, patriotic that, or republic or democracy or something, maybe they don't know what they are, the only one on earth People who like war often do the most brutal atrocities by people who claim to be freedom fighters.

The current civil war in Sudan is like this. Considering the moral standards of these African tribes that retain all kinds of strange customs, the atrocities in this civil war are to be expected. Before coming to the official residence of General Aboud, the Sudanese ambassador The KGB agent in the museum wanted to show some photos of the war to his immediate superiors. Just kidding, how could Serov be fooled by this? He had no curiosity about Uncle Hei's body. Or the corpse of a communist, he has to consider where to get revenge, at least to make the death of his comrade more valuable.

"Our opponents also have unintelligible support, so although our government has an advantage at present, it is unable to quell the war in South Sudan. This is also a headache for me!" General Aboud asked his guards to take out from the battlefield as he spoke. South Sudanese weapons seized.

Various light weapons were lined up in front of Serov, and the staff officer behind him whispered, "The rifle is the Lee Enfield series, the submachine gun is the Sten series, and the American-made M3 submachine gun was the standard weapon of the British and American armies during World War II. !"

"So it seems that our old rival has established some kind of connection with the separatists in South Sudan!" After listening to the words of the staff behind him, Serov was very sure that South Sudan's resistance was attributed to the support of the United Kingdom and the United States. The contact told the head of the Sudanese military government next to him, as to whether the United Kingdom and the United States were wronged, even if they were wronged, they would have to bear the blame, for no reason.

Throwing the pot on the CIA and MI6 was not the prejudice of Serov, but a completely subconscious behavior. Once the Soviet Union was obstructed by an unknown force in a certain place, it almost didn’t need any intelligence. Can think of the United Kingdom and the United States.

There are only a handful of countries that can hinder the Soviet Union on this planet. The French are busy with the war in Algeria and will not be so idle. China is too far away from Africa and is completely in a state of powerlessness. Moreover, China has no reason to do so at present. Sudan was once a British colony, and the answer comes out after a simple analysis.

   "The British may be dissatisfied with the fact that I overthrew the pro-British government!" General Abod agreed with Serov's judgment very much. Sometimes the choice of the Soviet Union after these coups in Africa is not so great and noble, but because the previous government has already chosen a boss, and after they came to power, in order to show that they are different from the previous government, they changed their families and threw themselves into the arms of the Soviet Union. It is not complicated at all, and General Aboud's choice of the Soviet Union as his backer also has this meaning.

   waved people to take back these captured weapons, and the group almost chatted in the official residence. Don't think that there are no rich people in these poor countries. As long as there is class in poor places, there will be no shortage of people who are rich and unkind. The Soviet Union brought the biggest changes to the country of Sudan, first of all, the rich and the military.

   But General Abd should not think that everything is smooth sailing. He may have overlooked one thing. The Soviet Union is still the leader of the world socialist movement. Every time it provides foreign aid, it also brings another thing, revolutionary ideas.

It shows that Sudan is a small country with weak military strength and prominent social contradictions. Once it is influenced by the Soviet Union, the revolutionary trend of thought will spread immediately. The reason why this has not happened in Sudan is entirely because of Serov's restraint in this regard. The work of the sultan will not start with Sudan for the time being, but no one knows how long this will be for the time being.

At least Serov saw the Arabs who always wore robes, and there were a lot of mosques. He could only restrain the idea of ​​exporting revolution in his heart. Compared with the export revolution in Soviet history, Serov was more willing in terms of cost. Slow operation, so that there will be no result in which a hundred guerrillas are supported, but none of them can seize power. The Soviet Union is indeed very strong, but it can't afford to let blood be released like this.

In the first few days of arriving in Khartoum, Serov followed General Abud leisurely around, listening to him show off his achievements in governing the Sudan. Under Serov's advice, Valya did not continue to ask what is wandering The question of what is unemployment is very embarrassing for the other party.

Finally, the day of the formal negotiation came. From the days of wandering in Khartoum, although Shelov has been wandering around with General Aboud doing nothing, it does not mean that the entire delegation is idle. The experts of the Soviet Union have been working all the time, and the Soviet delegation is carefully understanding the real situation in Sudan and formulating strategies in the negotiation.

  On the fifth day after arriving in Khartoum, the negotiations between the Soviet delegation and the Sudanese military began. Whether the Soviet Union's food problem could be solved or not depends on the negotiation results of the delegation. In Serov's view, the food problem will definitely be solved, but it is unpredictable that the Sudanese military wants the Soviet Union to provide those products or assistance in exchange.

  The place of negotiation between the two sides was set at the Prime Minister's Office in Sudan, which witnessed a military coup, a common phenomenon in third world countries, three years ago. The successful General Aboud killed the entire family of the Sudanese Prime Minister, and the gaps in the silver-white floor tiles may have been soaked in blood... (To be continued~^~)
