This is how Selov explained to the source of his information. Marilyn Monroe's diary. Who has read this diary? Apart from Monroe, there is only Selov. Monroe is not in the Soviet Union. Selov can push these news to that woman. If she really can't do it, she can use money to block the woman's mouth. If she doesn't do it, she will only let her disappear.

"Thank you for your first general administration, and you have been watching the movements of the United States during this period. Once this action begins, many things that we cannot see will be exposed. Let's see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Who is dissatisfied with this inventory activity? Is it possible to help us in turn? This is unknown..." Selov has a very good relationship with Sakhatovsky, director of the First General Administration. He has improved his work in the First General Administration and is very familiar with the work and ideas of the First General Administration, at least he has a much more common language than Semichasne and these front-line agents.

"There is also to find several stable and neutral countries to establish our overseas operation channels. I am more optimistic about Switzerland, Italy and Greece are also within the scope of consideration. Although the latter two are not suitable for the conditions I proposed, the situation is currently like this. Nordic countries have limited potential and their climate is similar to ours. Other countries far away from Europe are not the mainstream today's cultural trends, and there are not many stable countries, so we can only relax some conditions." Serov said helplessly. He and Sakhatovsky knew that it was imperative to establish smooth pipelines overseas.

Greece's transportation and shipbuilding industry, Italy's handicrafts and light industry, Switzerland's financial industry and machinery manufacturing, the KGB all had to step in, at least occupy a place in those countries and establish its own basic base. There are not many choices left for the Soviet Union now, but they are also much stronger than in history.

After Turkey expelled the Greeks from Constantinople, Greece reacted greatly. Greece* reorganized its exiled forces abroad and returned to China, reconciled with the current Greek government, nominally abandoning the route of armed struggle. There was no problem with this, and it was just a matter of one sentence to pick it up when necessary.

According to China's current era, Greece was considered a revisionist, and it went further than the Soviet Union. However, no one in the Soviet Union knew about this remark. After requesting the Central Presidium, the KGB had blocked all the news from China. It would be great if I was out of sight. I would say more about this proposal. The strong support of the Supreme Soviet Chairman Brezhnev. What Brezhnev himself was most reluctant to debate in the classics of seclusion. The KGB's proposal was deeply loved by him...

With the current development situation, the development of the Soviet Union cannot be said to be bad. Although there are some bad trends in agriculture, it is much better than the original history. Moreover, there is a lot more foreign aid. The completion of food in Sudan and India can help the Soviet Union survive many years of poor harvests.

The rest is the Soviet Union's strategic layout in the Middle East. Historically, the Soviet Union's understanding of the Middle East cannot be said to be poor. The Brezhnev era has always set the main strategic offensive direction in the Middle East and Southern Africa, with the goal of the Persian Gulf and South Africa. When the Soviet Union's strategic offensive in the 1970s, it mainly focused on these two places. If he had no understanding of the international situation, there might be only the Go map. The Soviet Union had not yet disintegrated during the Gulf War, so he could have stabilized the decline by taking advantage of this time.

Dango Map's reaction was to reach a consensus with the United States and issue a joint statement requiring Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait unconditionally, "fully restore Kuwait's sovereignty, legitimate regime and territorial integrity. This is exactly in line with the United States' policy goals to Iraq. At the same time, stop the supply of weapons and military aid to Iraq. In order to avoid confrontation with the United States and other Western countries on their stance against Iraq, the Soviet Union would rather sacrifice Iraq, its former ally.

On the issue of Iraq, the Soviet Union's attitude of cooperation with the United States made US President Bush "very satisfied" and said that this was "the first alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union in regional conflicts after the war". The agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union on the basic position of the Gulf crisis has allowed the UN Security Council to successfully pass a series of resolutions to sanction Iraq. Although the Soviet Union did not directly send troops to participate in the war against Iraq, its supportive attitude towards the United States organizing multinational troops to send troops to the Gulf allows the United States to take various military actions without any scruples.

The Gulf War should have been seized by the Soviet Union to divert domestic conflicts. The worst choice should be to take advantage of the US actions to sort out domestic problems, but Go Map did nothing. The Soviet Union has been operating all over the world for decades. Even if there are many ungrateful wolves, there are always some countries that are useful. It is understandable to give up other countries. The place where strategic contraction cannot be reached is abandoned, but giving up Iraq that is close to us can only be described as stupid. After annexing Iraq in Kuwait, its oil reserves are comparable to Saudi Arabia. How stupid will it not be seen by the stupid head?

If only one route for the Soviet Union's southward departure was successful, Selov would definitely choose Iraq. If two routes were successful, plus Turkey, his eyes were not on Iran from beginning to end. So what if Iran was against the Soviet Union, what if it was against the Soviet Union? Pahlavi only dared to shout slogans. If he replaced the religious leader with a granite-like head, it would not be a problem of shouting slogans. The deterioration in Afghanistan in the 1970s was closely related to the Iranian revolution.

"We must find a way to control the Middle East, which is very beneficial to us. The United States does not lack various energy sources, but its allies are not like this. Japan, South Korea, and Western European countries in East Asia do not have huge energy reserves. Controlling energy is where we the Soviet Union defeated the Americans. No energy is the fatal weakness of American allies." Selov talked about the direction of the KGB expansion for a long time, and finally returned to the old topic.

"Yes, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. If these three countries have good relations with us, the situation in the entire Middle East will be stable!" Lieutenant General Sakhatovsky nodded in agreement with Selov. These three countries are originally military powers in the Middle East in the traditional sense. Once they all turn to the Soviet Union, they will change the balance of power between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Middle East. The most important thing is that Iraq, which has more oil resources than the other two countries.

After controlling the Middle East, the Soviet Union could influence all enemy countries except the United States by manipulating prices. The United States lacks anything, but the United States' allies are countries with no such resource reserves. After successfully controlling the Middle East, even if it is for its own allies to continue to hold on, the United States began to exploit its own resources to support its allies, which is also beneficial to the Soviet Union. Because providing raw materials at a lower market price to help allies develop, this was originally done by the Soviet Union against Eastern European countries, and the Soviet Union did not live a very good life.

As for the Middle East, Iraq is the stepping stone prepared by Selov. In the future, we can find ways to squeeze into OPEC.

"By the way, Yuri! The situation in Sudan seems to have worsened. The long-term low-intensity war has reduced General Abud's prestige. It seems that some officers are dissatisfied with him. What should we do?" Lieutenant General Sahatovsky asked.

"Or don't take action. If you take action, Sudan will become a socialist country. The coup forces of the country will definitely come to contact us. Don't worry about this, and don't take the initiative to contact General Abud's opponents, waiting..." In Africa, a coup is just a daily activity, but what kind of coup is beneficial to the Soviet Union must be considered. Ordinary coup is not difficult. The difficult one is that the country after the coup is pro-Soviet, so this issue must be handled carefully.

At this time, Khrushchev was presided over a meeting of the Central Presidium in the Kremlin. However, at this meeting, Khrushchev was missing the figure of the second secretary Kozlov. At this meeting, Khrushchev had not confirmed who was the candidate for the second secretary. This matter would have to be discussed at the plenary meeting of the Central Committee more than two months later. In fact, Khrushchev himself was also considering this matter.

"The supervisory department will be merged into one department to concentrate power and energy to build the integrity and purity of cadres. Now we have a ready-made candidate. Comrade Xie Lieping has served as the head of the department in both the Communist Youth League and the KGB. He is a suitable candidate in terms of organization and professionalism. For this reason, I suggest that Comrade Xie Lieping preside over this work!" Khrushchev announced loudly that the proposal was approved by everyone. Xie Lieping stood up and nodded to express his gratitude. Judging from his expression, he had obviously learned about this news a long time ago and accepted the congratulations from others very calmly.

Khrushchev expanded the power of the Party and the State Supervisory Commission and increased the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the army, the KGB and the Ministry of Public Order Maintenance. This means that Xie Lieping can supervise the Soviet Army, Navy, Air Force and Rocket Force, the KGB domestic and foreign agents and all border guards, staff of embassies and consulates abroad, and internal police agencies across the country. He also indirectly led cadres of the procuratorate at all levels of the Soviet Union and the court judicial system. This right once appeared ten years ago in Beria.

Khrushchev recruited Xie Lieping into his office and had given him unprecedented trust to Xie Lieping. During Khrushchev's rule, no one was promoted faster than Xie Lieping. At this time, Xie Lieping was an alternate member of the Central Presidium, the Central Secretary, the Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and the Chairman of the Party and State Supervisory Committee. He held important positions in four departments. Whether it is the Presidium or the Secretariat, the government and the judicial department, Xie Lieping could organize the work.
