Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 666: Remnant's reply
Shelov is busy, busy on vacation. After joining the Soviet camp from Indonesia, the vast majority of the Soviet people had a place where they could really take a vacation, namely Indonesia, a country in Southeast Asia. Although Southeast Asia is at war, Indonesia is indeed in a rare state of stability. It is not appropriate to say that. Because of the New Guinea issue, the relationship between Indonesia and Australia deteriorated sharply. In the 1950s, the issue of New Guinea's ownership broke out. For its own security reasons, the Australian government supported the Dutch occupation of New Guinea and opposed Indonesia's recovery.
The Australian government is very concerned about the New Guinea issue. Its basic policy is that it does not want Indonesia to take back there, but wants the Netherlands to stay in New Guinea. Therefore, Australia actively resisted Indonesia's claim on New Guinea's sovereignty in the United Nations, and supported the Netherlands to maintain its rule over New Guinea.
The New Guinea issue was just over and Australia then supported Malaysia politically. When Sukarno sent troops to invade Malaysia, Australia also sent Chen soldiers to stand on Malaysia's Sabah and Sarawak borders to confront Indonesian troops. All of this itself should end with Suharto's rise to power. But isn't the Indonesian strongman dead, so the confrontation between Australia and Indonesia not only did not disappear, but because the relationship between Indonesia and the Soviet Union is getting better and worse, and now the Australian army is occupying East Timor and preventing the Indonesian army from entering.
Although the two countries have not started a war, they both regard each other as an imaginary enemy. Australia's military expenditure has increased year by year, but it has become somewhat unsustainable last year with the decline in world mineral prices.
However, although Indonesia faces off against Malaysia and Australia on both sides, the environment is still stable. The whole country has always been afraid of the infiltration of Western powers, and is vigilant against people including Australia. On the contrary, it is very friendly with Eastern European countries, and now it has become the preferred vacation destination for the Warsaw Pact countries. Cruise ships from the Warsaw Pact countries brought tourists to Indonesia to enjoy the tropical scenery, leaving many resting places under pressure in the Warsaw Pact countries free.
This is the case around the Black Sea, as well as Lake Baikal, another vacation spot. It is very beneficial for these facilities to be idle. At least many cadres don’t have to worry about competing with ordinary people for facilities. Sheloff is here on vacation. There is another reason for choosing here, because Irkutsk in the north of Lake Baikal is the power center of the KGB in the Asian part, and here he can also know what is going on in Lubyanka, and there is Mongolia as a buffer, which can give The army of a certain country is going north to buy time. From the perspective of security, Irkutsk is the most suitable.
"What's the matter? What's the news about Lubyanka?" Alexis next to him asked very comfortably, "It's great now, I used to have to wait in line if I wanted to take a hot spring here. It's a dead holiday, so what? There are such easy days now."
"Who asked for less hot springs, you can make do with it, our country itself lacks hot springs, and there is no way to line up." Serov hummed, "I was on vacation, but you weren't, went to Vladivostok for inspection, and ended up staying here. After two days of soaking in hot springs, are you not afraid of leaking news?"
"You have worked hard to build the KGB organization in Irkutsk, not to deal with the Chinese threat, but to establish a second Lubyanka. Many KGB cadres have rushed to serve here. These people are all selected by you, only Zine The husband and Tsweigon will think that you are just here on vacation, and I don't know you yet? As long as you want, you can call Mongolia a threat. If you say this, will I believe the news leaked?" Alexey Shrugging, "I passed by here to see what you're up to."
"Whatever you do, it's to build a backup facility." Sheloff reached back to his clothes, took out a box of Cuban cigars, lit the cigars and kerosene lighter and pushed them to Alexey's side, "Smoke it. , Americans can't smoke if they want to, and we cover the entire production of Cuban cigars."
"That's bullshit. The Latin American Bureau is responsible for the smuggling of Cuban cigars into the United States. Who are you lying to? The price has doubled tenfold, and you really dare." Alexey put away the cigarette, but he didn't Appreciate.
"I've even bought it a hundred times! Tobacco addiction is just as difficult to control as alcohol addiction. You know this best. You are both." He forgot that the other party was the boss of GRU, and he was very clear about his little actions, but he would not forget to bury the other party by the way.
The two big men were soaking in the hot spring together, but there was no passionate scene. In fact, he was very annoyed that Alexey had to stay here for two days, knowing that he had been soaking with Valya the other day, which was a good thing. By the way, there is also a scientific study on the buoyancy and shape of large **** on the water.
"Several vice-chairmen are studying how to attack the Congo, but this year's weather in Africa has saved Congo's life. Let's start with Thailand first, the environment there is favorable." Serov said a few words to the other party, and then he started talking about the topic. It looks pretty good.
"Well, it is true that the green desert is an insurmountable difficulty for Sudan. The extension of the rainy season has a great impact on the offensive. After all, we are not gods, and we must take into account the constraints of the environment." Alexey nodded in approval. Green desert is another name for tropical rain forest. There are two largest tropical rain forests in the world, one is Brazil and the other is Congo. If the mechanized army established by the Soviet model is plunged in, it is really uncertain whether it can come out again.
"Yeah, so we have to wait a year." Shelov said helplessly, no matter how hard Brazil develops in later generations, it will not be able to become a world power. You can't say that they don't work hard. One of the huge reasons is that Brazil's territory is cut by the huge tropical rainforest. The land area looks large, but it is actually fragmented and isolated by the tropical rainforest. If a large-scale urban agglomeration cannot be formed, it will naturally not form a large-scale market. .
As for whether the world mineral prices will drop in a year? There should be no problem. Although Chile was included in the system by the Soviet Union, it is still not much compared to the negative impact of the Vietnam War on the United States. Therefore, in order to reduce the economic pressure of the United States, the British and American companies that control the pricing power will continue to Depressing prices puts less pressure on the domestic economy. The strategy of reducing the cost of raw materials should not change.
In this case, it is not unacceptable to wait another year. Maybe the economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is worse, and it is easier for Sudan to achieve its own goals. After all, Sudan is positioned as a strong country in agriculture and animal husbandry. There are countries such as the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe that are not enough to eat all kinds of food. Now, Sudan will not worry about lack of demand.
The economy of the DRC is extremely dependent on the price of minerals. This policy of driving down the price of minerals will definitely put the country in trouble. It is the exact opposite of the situation in Sudan, and waiting another year may be able to remove the threat behind Sudan, which is pro-American. The Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I is rapidly losing popular support. The socialist ideas of the lower classes are spreading widely. According to history, this country will soon secede from the United States, and the one who completed this move was Mengistu, who had received military training in the United States. It stands to reason that this person should be pro-American, but he is black and the United States Racial discrimination is more serious, so after he returned to China, he immediately broke with the United States and threw himself into the arms of the Soviet Union.
In the whole process of Ethiopia's fall to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did nothing but spread socialist ideas. From the earlier emperor who was pitted by the Western Virgin reporter, to Mengistu's encounter with racial discrimination in the United States, everything was the same as that of the Soviet Union. It doesn't matter, it's completely a surprise for the Soviet Union.
"Let's not talk about this, you are here to inspect the Bea Railway, are there any problems?" Shelov asked, "When will the next phase of the project start, is there any difficulty?"
"It can only be said that the railway has been laid, but the electrification construction and supporting facilities have not been completed. Even if the railway corps and the engineering corps have been rushing to work, there are still great difficulties. The tundra is really not easy to deal with. Even if the railway corps is a soldier, We can't ignore the use of casualties, even now the problem of attrition is more serious. There is a shortage of people..." Alexey shook his head and said, "Would you consider delaying the construction period?"
"No, this is a century-old project, and it is carried out at the same time as the North-South Water Diversion Project. The general secretary will not agree. Besides, we have already completed so much. The suspension will only push the problem back." Shelov shook his head firmly. When he came out of the hot spring and put on his clothes, he said, "Sometimes I really want to rebuild the Gulag and use prisoners as construction manpower, but unfortunately these people were all sent to the United States by Cuba, and I couldn't catch them even if I wanted to. "
Alexey left quietly, and Serov did not send him. Later, he received a telegram from Lubyanka. There were two telegrams, one for military aid to the Thai Communist Party, and one for the remnants of the Artillery Party. Contact, and each other's conditions. At the same time, the plan to attack the Democratic Republic of the Congo was suspended, indicating the current difficulties.
"You can make a decision. We agree to all the remnants of the remnant army. They don't believe in the Communist Party of Thailand? You can approve all of them to join the Communist Party of Cuba, and let Cuba open a batch of party certificates. They still use the Communist Party of Thailand to settle accounts after the fall. Do you think it's safer to join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union? Well, I'm on vacation, so let's go." Serov put down the phone and watched Valya walk in in her pajamas. He bet it was a vacuum inside.
"What are you looking at? Do you only have eyes that can move? The children are finally sleeping, come here." Valya pulled off the sleeping belt directly, and the pajamas slipped down her smooth body, just standing in front of her husband. (To be continued~^~)
