Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 688: Strong first
Portugal's democratic party is called the National League, a party founded by Salazar, and now it is renamed the People's Democratic Party. Serov, who was informed of the derivation of the results, believed that the Portuguese Socialist Party would definitely propose a very radical policy, even more radical than the Portuguese Communist Party, in exchange for the support of the Soviet Union. After squeezing the support of the Communist Party, it was the same as the old predecessors of the Second International. , played a game called kneeling, and began to oppose the Soviet Union with the support of the United States and Western Europe. This time is probably less than two years.
But as long as the process is known, it is still possible to intervene in this matter. That is now, when the Socialist Party has just proposed a radical policy, but there are few party members, and the cohesion mainly depends on the party leader Suarez. The super-socialist Portuguese Communist Party logically upheld justice and swallowed the socialist party to remove the threat.
"Is there any difficulty?" Serov asked patiently after there was no answer on the phone for a long time.
"Arrange staff immediately, when will the action be taken?" After a short time, the voice of Mendelev, Minister of Operational Execution, came.
"The sooner the better, preferably now." Serov said gloomily as he kept stirring the phone line with his fingers.
"Sniff out and root out the traitors!" Then there was a busy tone on the phone, and Mendelev had hung up from there.
A chart series passenger plane landed in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, Lieutenant General Igor walked down with a very confident smile, and soon met Zinev, the vice-chairman of the KGB here. met each other.
Igor was originally the head of the General Directorate of the Ukrainian Internal Guard, that is, the commander of the Ukrainian Internal Guard. The two have worked together before and are not strangers to each other, but now Igor has left the KGB and is serving in the Central Liaison Department. , now serving under Andropov as head of the Africa Division of the Central Liaison Department.
"What are you doing in Africa? This place is so hot..." Zinev, the vice-chairman of the KGB who greeted him, asked curiously, "Secretary Andropov asked you to meet some independent armed leaders! "
"Yes, I'm here to take over the issue of the Portuguese colony and be responsible for helping the Portuguese colonial army to evacuate." Lieutenant General Igor shrugged, "This is a boring job, unlike you've been planning an attack on the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
"Who knows if there will be an attack? Isn't the relationship between China and Portugal very good now?" Zinev's mood is a little low. Africa's strategic offensive is mainly aimed at Portugal. Now that the political situation in Portugal has changed, he does not know Moscow. How to think about it, will it maintain the original plan, after all, he has been here for a long time.
"At least Sudan's attack will not be cancelled. It seems that the rainy season is about to pass. Is Sudan ready?" Igor was also very uncomfortable with the hot and humid air here, but he didn't forget his business, and the two left the airport immediately. Talk while walking on the road.
"Don't worry, the 150,000 Sudanese army has been trained, and there is no problem with weapons, ammunition and air support." Zinev said simply, "As long as the war begins, it will be difficult for the Congo to stand up, and it will be difficult to destroy a country. , it is easy to overthrow a dictator, and some people want to take his place."
"The meaning of the headquarters is to let all African dictators know what will happen against us. Against us, all of Mobutu's wealth will be lost now, which is more convincing than anything else." Igor nodded and stopped. speech.
Compared with their work in Africa, the impact of the joint statement of the Soviet Union and Portugal is obviously huge. The Soviet Union took advantage of this opportunity to once again have a wave of goodwill in the world, especially in Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau. The armed forces of Portugal welcomed the decision, praised the decision of the new Portuguese government, and thanked the Soviet Union for its efforts. The Portuguese colonial independence war, which lasted for more than ten years, seems to have stopped at once, and the armed forces on both sides have experienced a rare tranquility.
The joint statement of the Soviet Union and Portugal has aroused praise all over the world. No matter whether some countries are sincere or false, no one is ambiguous on this issue of political correctness. Even American newspapers have expressed their appreciation, although that article The report is just a one-sentence statement in an inconspicuous place.
The dawn of peace seems to have come to southern Africa at once, the war that lasted for more than ten years has stopped, and then the Soviets have appeared in Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea-Bissau. At present, it is still a Portuguese colony. The soldiers of the Portuguese colonial army not only did not feel disgusted, but waved their hands. According to the agreement between the Soviet Union and Portugal, these people from the Soviet Union officially came in to contact the local armed factions and contact the independent forces and the colonial army. Hostility, stop the war.
This is also what Gromyko emphasized on the world diplomatic stage. The joint statement between the Soviet Union and Portugal has written that the Soviet Union played an important role in the process of disengaging the two sides. Portugal's recognition, so that the Soviet Union wears hats is The cadres of the political commissars began to carry out their own work in the local area, adjusting the contradiction between the colonial army and the independent armed forces.
This kind of work is also published every day in the Portuguese Communist Party's newspaper, Progress, to promote the Portuguese Communist Party from the side.
Several high-ranking cadres knew that Lubyanka never believed that this would lead to the emergence of a pro-Soviet regime in the Portuguese colonies. Once the Portuguese colonial army was withdrawn, the United States would definitely support some of the armed forces to provoke wars to prevent the appearance of pro-Soviet powers in these colonies. The Soviet regime, their job now is to make the Soviet Union more prepared to respond.
And another purpose of these cadres is to spread socialist ideas in the army before these colonial troops return to the country, so that the current pro-Soviet soil in the Portuguese army is more solid. A series of ships set off from the domestic ports of the Soviet Union and loaded goods in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, especially the backlog of goods that appeared in the planned economy.
Some military and civilian assistance provided to the Portuguese colonies, as well as to the independent armed forces, are all military assistance. If the two sides break down and the war continues, the independent forces supported by the Soviet Union will be stronger, and eggs will not be put in one basket. Yes, Moscow will not think that it can pick peaches smoothly.
The biggest difference between the Communist Party and the Socialist Party is that when the Communist Party pursues its ideals, it does not put all its hopes in its mouth. The Socialist Party generally has a sweeter mouth than the Communist Party. When it comes to the Nazis, it is almost incapable of resisting, so it just kneels down.
These overstocked products in the Soviet Union are not so delicate, but the quality is definitely a socialist conscience. The electric fan will never burn out, because the wires on the Soviet electric fans are of good quality, but they are actually very thick. Although there is not much grain, it is definitely high-quality wheat. It is impossible to grow multi-season crops in a cold place like the tropics, but one season has the advantage of having a much higher grain sediment than multi-season crops, which makes it more hungry and tastes better. Just as Northeastern rice tastes better than Southeast Asian rice, it's common sense.
These products improved the living conditions of the Portuguese colonial army, and they are grateful. The entire colony of Portuguese whites is also less than one million, and it is not a problem for these people to aid them with the ability of the Soviet Union.
On May 14th, the troops were divided into five groups and launched a fierce attack on the last line of defense of the Nguyen Van Thio group. Saigon was the capital of the Nguyen Van Thieu group, but under the offensive of the military and civilians in southern Vietnam, all defenses collapsed quickly, and on May 10, an unconditional surrender had to be announced, and Saigon was completely liberated. Soon, the Vietnamese military and civilians continued to attack, forcing all the enemies of the puppet Fourth Military Region to surrender. The southern provinces were completely liberated. This was a decisive battle between the South Vietnamese military and civilians and the Nguyen Van Thu puppet group. After the victory of this battle, the situation in South Vietnam has basically been determined. Immediately after, all the military forces of the Fourth Military Region of Nguyen Van Thao were eliminated, and the entire South Vietnam was liberated.
The colonial soldiers of the Portuguese colony and the Soviet mediators who came here learned the news together from the newspapers, as well as photos of the last group of Americans evacuating Vietnam by helicopter from the roof of the US embassy. The photos of the United States fleeing Vietnam have spread all over the world at this time, marking that the United States, which had intervened in the Vietnam War from President Kennedy, was completely defeated by North Vietnam, and the loss was very miserable, and the South Vietnam it supported was completely destroyed.
Taking advantage of this sensational victory in the world, the local Soviet cadres quickly showed that the United States was doomed and completely vulnerable. These political commissars without military uniforms took advantage of the unprecedented failure of the United States to re-educate these colonial soldiers.
Just two days later, Portugal's Spinola appointed the first interim government, including seven military ministers and two ministers each from the Communist Party and the People's Democratic Party. In the final stages of Salazar's regime, the People's Democratic Party was allowed to exist as a semi-official opposition. Throughout the revolution, the CPLP maintained contact with the state apparatus through the Armed Forces Movement. In order to enforce labor discipline and implement the austerity program in the "Production Campaign" of the Armed Forces Movement, the CPLP leader Alvaro Canhal was arrested. Appointed as the minister regardless of the ministry, Avalino Gonzavis of the CPLP was appointed as the minister of labor.
"We must take the road of socialism so that we can keep up with the situation in the world. Even the United States has retreated from Vietnam. We cannot choose a backward social component." Socialist Party leader Suarez took the United States in a panic Newspapers fleeing embassy photos, shouted at the crowd in the square. At this moment, a bullet hit him in the head from somewhere, instantly killing the leader of the Socialist Party.
"Suarez is dead?" US Secretary of State Kissinger, who just came out of the White House, stayed where he was, knowing that the plan in his hand had been scrapped.
"The anti-revolutionary workers have to speak their minds, and if they say they are to be shot, they will be shot." Serov, with a cigar in his mouth, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself. On the table was the newspaper where the leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party was assassinated. (To be continued~^~)
