Big Time 1958

After the report of the KGB agents in Sudan, the Soviet negotiating delegation for this aid plan came up with a very sincere aid plan after analysis, including 20 non-staple food processing, flour factories and gum factories. The main item is that the gum arabic originating in Sudan can be used for food processing, as well as investment in copper mines, as well as chrome ore and chrome as a kind of minerals that are widely demanded in the manufacture of weapons. They can be regarded as rare minerals. Some, although the Soviet Union did not lack resources, they were also very interested in this rare mineral.

As for the resources of gum arabic, it is also very easy to understand. It is different from the endless desert that people usually think of in Africa. That environment is the normal scenery of North Africa. Unlike Sudan, this country is not only short of water, but also has water resources. Unusually rich, it can fully support the growth environment of gum. The reason why Shelov chose to start in Sudan is also related to this environment. If Egypt dares to fall out with the Soviet Union in the future, since the Soviet Union can help Egypt build the Aswan Dam, it can help Sudan cut off the Nile River again upstream. .

  The negotiators on the Soviet side are very sincere, and at least Serov thinks that he has shown great sincerity this time, and his conduct can fully reflect the spirit of internationalism. Negotiations should go fairly smoothly under normal circumstances.

"Based on our assessment of Sudan, as long as our assistance is implemented, it should be able to help Sudan become a politically stable country to a large extent, and the needs of some people can be eased, which is very beneficial to your Sudanese military government. Your flour and some non-staple food products will be freed from the restraint of imports from now on!" The Soviet negotiator pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said sincerely to the Sudanese generals on the opposite side.

   Serov, who looked relaxed, folded his arms and watched the generals of the Sudan Revolutionary Committee on the opposite side discussing in whispers. It seems to be assessing whether the assistance offered by the Soviet side is what they need. But from the look above, it seems that he is not satisfied.

   Sure enough, the order of General Abud came from the opposite side. The termination of the negotiation made the Soviet delegation very strange, not knowing what went wrong, and soon the Sudanese representatives left the Soviet representatives facing each other and left the Prime Minister's Office.

   "Go back first and wait for the other party's notice!" Serov's heart was also nervous. The Soviet Union's food problem could not last for too long. Now is not the time of the Great Patriotic War, so it is not suitable for people to work hungry.

  The agriculture of the socialist countries is not strong. If he fails in the Sudan, the Soviet Union must import food from the capitalist countries, to be precise, from the United States. But Americans do not recognize the ruble as a currency. The countries that recognize the ruble, China and India, are considered big agricultural countries, but I don’t think about how many people these two countries have. Can they manage the Soviet Union even if they can’t eat it? What's more, China itself is in a famine. Sometimes I think about the grain difficulties of the Soviet Union and China at the same time, is there a connection between them.

   Serov, who pretended to be calm, left the former prime minister's office with the Soviet delegation and returned to the Soviet embassy to stand by. At the same time, he also concluded that there was something wrong with him?

   Did the Sudanese side know about the situation in the Soviet Union? I have to say that because the matter is too important, Serov, the spy chief, has rich associations. Nor did he think about the strict environment in the Soviet Union and the kind of education about imperialism. Children know to be careful of traitors. Even the United States cannot build an intelligence network in the Soviet Union. How could Sudan know about their domestic situation? This chaotic time did not last too long, and after a while, Serov definitely thought too much himself.

   That is, Sudan is not satisfied with the conditions of aid from the Soviet Union. This is also more likely. It is impossible to know the situation of the Soviet Union with Sudan's ability. The United States obtained intelligence progress from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It's usually the Soviet Union that has its own traitors like Snowden. Such traitors are usually some sort of brainless guy like Pinkowski. It is impossible for a large intelligence network not to be discovered by the KGB, and there is no record of this in later generations.

   "What the **** is going on?" called the members of the aid delegation. The summary began in the Soviet embassy. From today's negotiations, every sentence and every expression is recalled to see if there are any words that offend the Sudan.

"This kind of sudden situation with no end and no end makes us unable to remedy it!" In the end, Serov slammed the pencil on the table and decided to ask for domestic help, and asked the KGB headquarters in Moscow to check the situation around Sudan. Is there a problem?

  The backup plan is not without. For example, the United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria merged, whether it is part of Egypt or part of Syria, their agriculture is very good this year. In this era, Egypt has not yet had such a strong population pressure as later generations. Both sides of the Nile River can fully feed all Egyptians and still be rich. At least Syria itself is one of the few countries in the Middle East that is self-sufficient in food, with a small population and a lot of food. But for the Soviet Union's population in the billions, it's only a drop in the bucket.

In the Sudanese embassy, ​​Serov, who was wearing a military uniform, stroked Valya's forehead with a worried face, and slowly helped his wife take a pill to feed her sluggish wife. The woman's haggard expression was very distressing. Didn't I tell you that the environment here is different? Don't eat food that Sudan doesn't know before processing, we Soviets are not used to coming here, even a mosquito may kill us..." Looking haggard The wife took the medicine obediently with an aggrieved face, and the chattering Serov didn't want to say anything harsh.

Human beings are said to be strong and powerful, but also fragile and fragile. Not to mention that the distance between the Soviet Union and Sudan is so far away, even if it is the distance between Moscow and Ryazan, an unprotected person enters the mountains for a day, and it is impossible to guarantee his safety. Come out, get used to the living environment around you, and come to an unfamiliar place. As Serov said, a mosquito can kill you. Malaria in Africa has always been serious. Life in the Soviet Union was not so easy either.

   "I didn't do anything, but my stomach hurts." Valia leaned pitifully against her husband's arms. If Serov had said that to her, she might have been reluctant to talk back. But now it may be the cause of illness, and only tenderness is rare.

   When you are sick, you will be honest. If you have the energy, you will talk back! Shelov hugged Mao Mei in his arms, and the medical staff at the embassy said that it was either a serious illness, or that he was not adapted to the climate here and that the food here was not digested well. A series of professional terms and many local The combination of the names is quite bluffing. In the end, Serov finally understood the other party's words with the major he learned in the KGB.

"Vice Chairman, General Aboud invited you to be a guest at his official residence!" Lukani walked in with an inquiring look, and her eyes fell on Valya, who was hiding in the man's arms, as if she felt the stare of the mistress. Leah couldn't help but rubbed her head against her husband's chest, showing that she was the man's real wife.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Sheloff nodded, then lowered his head and kissed his wife's pale lips, "Take a rest, I'll be right back, I'll go straight to the comrades in the embassy to solve the problem, and get well first... "

   Now let's see what conditions are needed by the Sudanese side, especially General Aboud. In this country where illness basically relies on hard resistance and horses for transportation, the most convenient means of transportation is the boat on the Nile River. The trade between Sudan and Egypt is also completed by the boat on the Nile River. What does General Abd want?

   In order to solve the food problem of the Soviet Union, Serov has really opened his mind these days. He even imagined that the Soviet troops from the Aswan military base would be dispatched to Sudan to hunt and **** food with lions. Of course, just thinking about it, even killing the wild animals in Sudan is useless. With Sudan's transportation capacity, the meat shipped to the Soviet Union is stinky.

It is not the first time that he has come to General Aboud's official residence, but he has never been so urgent in his heart as this time. Not showing it on the surface does not mean that he is not anxious. Serov does not understand very well. It's your conscience, what else is there to be dissatisfied with General Aboud.

In the    official residence, after a while of chatting, General Aboud finally put forward his own request, "The problems that Sudan is eager to solve at present are not those that are not urgent for the time being, General Serov, with all due respect, the Soviet side is not very sincere..."

"I don't know what the general's sincerity refers to. The aid we provide is very favorable. It can be said that it is tailor-made for Sudan. The fertile area of ​​Sudan is second to none in Africa, and agriculture can develop without much effort. Very good, if the general's goal is bigger, I can guarantee that it is only the first round of aid. We have established the food industry and light industry, and we are considering the issue of heavy industry!" Shelov looked at General Abud's eyes and said sincerely. .

"No, there is no urgency for assistance in this area. The first issue facing our Sudanese Revolutionary Committee is the rebellion in the south, and the most important thing is to quell the rebellion in the south. What Sudan needs is more weapons and ammunition. , as long as the rebellion in the south is quelled, we will have a stable environment for development." General Aboud's meaning was already obvious.

It was so obvious that Serov did not dare to answer, because he was afraid that he would laugh out loud. It turned out that his side was not too conscientious, but that the Sudanese military was not interested in economic assistance. They needed military assistance. is the weapon. Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun, and the military government is directly...

   "I love the military government, it's so easy to deal with!" Serov pretended to be difficult, and then expressed his willingness to communicate with the country. (To be continued~^~)
