Chapter 190 Aid Sudan
"Congratulations to the athletes of the motherland for achieving this good results. Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to celebrate. Our Soviet Union is the world's number one, and now, it will definitely be. For example, this result will become the norm for our country in the future. There is no second in competitive sports. There will only be one country in the first place in the overall gold medal list in the future, and that is our Soviet Union!" If you want to talk about running trains, the entire Soviet Union is not as good as Selov. His way of boasting is also very special. It is not to prove the promotion of athletes' performance. It shows from the side that the strength of the entire Soviet Union is the same. The final result is the same.
Of course there is a reason to be happy. After accounting, Selov made a small profit of three million and did not take action once. At the same time, let the United States taste the taste of failure. From today on, a rumor will spread in Italy. Selov once challenged the US ambassador to Italy, but the US ambassador did not accept it. Of course, this will not cause any actual losses to the United States, but the Olympic gold medal list also shows the strength of a country, which is an indisputable fact. Sports powers are often related to the comprehensive strength of the country, and no country will deny this.
If anyone questioned this, the Italians would stop doing it first, because after the Soviet Union and the United States, Italy ranked third in the gold medal list of the Rome Olympics. No matter from any perspective, the Olympics held in Italy were quite successful.
Serov, who achieved a win-win situation, invited these Soviet athletes to celebrate, and as long as there were all things in Italy, these athletes enjoyed the fun. At the same time, he patted his chest to ensure that he had found a place for them to take a vacation, hoping to create new glory in future competitions.
As for how Americans will evaluate this failure, Selov will not see it. Only the winner can enjoy joy. Who cares about what the loser thinks. How can one day the United States loses all-round competition with the Soviet Union? At that time, Selov can step on the body of the Americans to prove that the US government has been a group of idiots who are scattering for two hundred years. The entire country is a slave to capitalists, but the benefits of occupying geographical location have not been hit. At that time, no matter how he puts shit on the Americans' heads, no country will come out to speak for the Americans. Even the people of their own country will jump out to prove that Selov is right.
This trip to Italy can also be concluded. All contracts have been finalized. The KGB's presence in Italy will only become stronger and stronger. This time, Selov, who has spent a lot of money in Italy, has at least helped the Italian government solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people. Of course, this is not in vain. As long as Selepin starts to abolish KGB agents, Selov will send those KGB cadres with rich work experience to Italy and serve as cadres in these factories.
It's fair, right? At least there are many things in Italy's light industry that are interested in the KGB. The same electric fan, Italian products save electricity and are silent, and the Soviet Union makes noise and electricity. Of course, we should study and learn from the Italians. In order to prevent Italy from not having the spirit of internationalism, it is normal to send some agents to prevent future troubles. It is best to exchange them. If you can reach an agreement, you can steal it...
At Minsk Railway Station, Selov and Valia kissed goodbye. He nodded to a row of female agents behind his wife and received a positive response. Selov, who had tidied up his clothes, watched his wife turn to Kiev. It has to be said that the Soviet Union's expressway network must be innovated, and at least some Europeans should find ways to study a new building model. Otherwise, this kind of road condition will sooner or later delay the Soviet Union's strength. The development of the Soviet Union is greatly subject to the geographical conditions of the cold zone, which Selov must admit.
More than 80% of the country's land has frozen soil zones, such as Siberia's long winter, and half of the Soviet Union's territory is like that. The cost of establishing a highway network in this kind of land is very high. A new highway only needs to undergo a four-season rotation, and the second year is no different from a muddy dirt road. The national highway network is not realistic at all. The Soviet Union has been building railways to solve this difficult problem, and at the same time it is constantly upgrading domestic railways. The Soviet Union's railway electrification has been ahead of the United States since the 1960s, but it still cannot change the disadvantage of poor logistics.
At least the European part of the Soviet Union should still promote the construction of the highway network. However, in the Asian aspect, the expressway network can only be a supplement to railways, such as the local highway network built near Central Asia, the Far East and Lake Baikal, and the logistics flow will be maintained based on Siberian railways.
The construction is also affected by the climate. The thicker the walls of the tall buildings built northwards, and the five-zone walls may be frozen and cracked due to the sudden cold winter, which is huge. If the Soviet Union opened the household registration system, the Soviet population in Siberia could travel to Europe for decades and never go back, so there was no need to worry about Siberia being occupied by other countries. Selov was a native of Northeast China in his previous life. He didn’t know that the population in Northeast China had been growing negatively? If he could move freely, who would be willing to stay in such a cold place to live?
It seems that starting this year, Selov entered the Kremlin alone and suddenly more often. He used to laugh at Selepin and said that Selepin almost settled his home next to Khrushchev's office. Unexpectedly, he has become similar now. The KGB is the most frequently entered the Kremlin. Various reports were handed over to Khrushchev's desk through the KGB. Selov wanted to report the situation in Italy to Khrushchev, so naturally this level could not be avoided.
"Overall, we used novel designs to open up Italy's defense line. In the future, Italy is likely to become a country like Yugoslavia. In fact, compared to when I was in Italy six years ago, the sound of riding a fence between us and the Americans is much louder! In a sense, Europe is still the front line of confrontation with the United States. It is very difficult to achieve any result, and it is not easy to dismantle the European defense line of the United States." Selov held the light industry, shipbuilding and communications contracts signed with Italy, and Khrushchev watched one by one.
"Yes, it can be said that there is a gap in the capitalist camp. Italy is Yugoslavia of the United States!" Khrushchev affirmed Selov's achievements with his usual loud voice, and asked, "But the Ministry of Communication Equipment Industry has some complaints about the cooperation between Altai mobile phone system and Italy. What do you think?"
"The Altai mobile phone system is undoubtedly very advanced, and I have never denied this! The reason why I have always insisted on including communication equipment in cooperation projects is also my considerations! I am a KGB agent and will not do anything that endangers national security." Serve pointed at the salute and explained, "I want to promote the Soviet mobile phone system to squeeze possible counterfeit products in the United States. At the same time, it is because there is huge room for improvement in mobile phones. Our scientific research institutions are studying smaller and more-related communication equipment. At that time, people from other countries will find that the Soviet Union is already better! Countries that have accepted our previous generation of Altai system must be consistent with us! Because the technologies of our Soviet Union and the United States are completely different, and the future benefits are unimaginable."
In front of the first secretary, Selov painted a good vision, which was different from some cadres who set up satellites in Khrushchev. He was very confident in doing things and could realize these visions.
The future depicted by Serov made Khrushchev very interested. Since the second half of Khrushchev's rule, he has also begun to deviate from reality, otherwise the Soviet corn movement would not have paid a huge price. Thinking of this, a tangled question once again appeared in Serov's heart. Should he take the initiative to go in, or wait until the matter broke out, and in accordance with Khrushchev's orders, he would attack the exaggerated style of promoting the corn movement in various places. There is no doubt that if the investigation starts from now on, the Soviet Union will suffer less losses. If he waits for a year to break out, he can make greater achievements and enhance Khrushchev's trust in the KGB.
"By the way, the first secretary, the rainy season in Sudan is coming soon. The mountains of corn in Sudan must be built to build large warehouses for storage in the arid areas near Egypt in the north. Sudan's construction industry and heavy industry are very backward. Academician Sukachev sent a message back that if the Soviet Union did not help Sudan build a large number of giant warehouses, Sudan's corn production would be more than 20% of the corn production would rot due to the arrival of the rainy season." Selov still took a key step and chose to take the initiative to wading mines on this issue, but it still started with Sudan.
Sure enough, this curved phalanx of saving the country aroused Khrushchev's interest. If a country learns from the Soviet Union, especially his own corn movement, Khrushchev, as the initiator, was very happy. Especially Khrushchev, a leader who always uses his personal will to govern the country, was happy and directly approved Serov's suggestion and launched the establishment of aid to the Sudan.
"I believe that General Abud of the Sultan will be very happy with this decision!" Serov flattered at the first secretary without hesitation, and then said that he would go back to study where to build a large warehouse to help Sudan complete the food reserves. The main reason was that he was afraid of Khrushchev's domestic corn movement, so he had to escape from the Kremlin quickly. If the first secretary, who is a person with a temperament, asks him to go to various places to investigate the corn movement, it will be bad.
Returning to the Third General Administration, Selov convened a group of combat staff to discuss, and set the location for the construction of a large warehouse in Wadikhalfa in northern Sudan. Wadikhalfa is already very close to the border with Egypt, which is an important place for trade between Sudan and Egypt. However, Selov set the location there entirely because of combat considerations. If the domestic corn problem broke out and the Sudan was uncooperating, it would be convenient to send troops from Aswan. (To be continued.)
