The military under the Soviet model has always pursued the strength of taking others away. We hope to achieve our goals through short wars, so the military in the Soviet model does not pay attention to logistics. In fact, it is not that the Soviet Ministry of Defense does not pay attention to logistics, but that no country in the world can fight like the United States. Compared with the United States, the Soviet Union's logistics that cannot be considered low seems pitiful.

"Comrade Yitvasov did a good job. With the domestic environment of the Congo, if a dictator like Mobuto cannot withstand it, he will never come back even if he goes abroad for one day." Shelov, who received the news from the Sudan, smiled on his face. Congo was the first stumbling block of the Soviet Union's strategy in Africa. It would be smooth sailing but it would be almost done if it moved away.

Other countries have insufficient population and area. Although Zimbabwe and South Africa are very strong in Africa, they are whites who occupy less than one hundred thousand people in the ruling country. So as long as they move away from the Congo and ensure the smooth flow of the Soviet arms route, Selov will be sure to turn these two countries into guerrilla battlefields. He cannot overthrow these two countries, but it is not difficult to make these two countries no longer develop.

"When will we do it?" First Vice Chairman Sakhatovsky asked eagerly.

"In less than two or three years, the Sudanese People's Army will not have combat effectiveness. Tell Comrade Itwasov that the Sudanese People's Army must be able to ensure the intensity of full combat for one month. A country like Congo can withstand a month." Shelov thought for a while, "I never thought of letting Sudan destroy Congo. I just wanted to drive Mobuto out of the Congo through a blitzkrieg and tell the pro-US leaders of other African countries what would be the outcome of opposing us."

Political strongmen are not impeccable. Saddam and Gaddafi in later generations have clearly shown that the so-called political strongmen are nothing in the face of war. The political environment of countries like Africa is not as good as that of Arab countries. Once the dictator falls to the ground, he will never rise again.

"There is only one problem, that is, the combat environment of Congo. It is one of the few countries in Africa with very abundant water resources. It has alternate supplies for abundant precipitation in the north and south hemispheres because it flows through both sides of the equator, and has the characteristics of large water volume and small changes in the year. The annual average flow of the estuary is 41,000 cubic meters per second, and the maximum flow reaches 80,000 cubic meters per second. If divided by flow, the flow of the Congo River is second only to the Amazon River and is the second largest river in the world. Even if Comrade Itwasov successfully formed a mechanized force, he still has enough logistical support. But the environment there is not suitable for mechanized combat." Sakhatovsky expressed his concerns, "Once the consequences of the war failure, I am afraid that Sudan may not be able to withstand it."

"So the weapons equipped by Sudan must adapt to amphibious operations. This is not difficult for us. Another point is that Congo is a tropical country. African tropical countries will have two seasons a year, rainy season and dry season. The dry season in Congo seems to be from June to October every year, lasting for four months. Of course, the French African Division's work in Congo is to find out the rivers in the Congo in the past two years. Where can the mechanized army be easily broken through, the intelligence operations will be handed over to you, Comrade Sakhatovsky." This issue has been under consideration by Serov, and he has been to Africa.

The Soviet Union's plan to move south in Africa was best to wait until the United States was defeated in the Vietnam War. But this does not mean that the Soviet Union was lying on the kang and waiting for victory. Now the Soviet Union still has something to do. For example, after precise calculations, Selov felt that it was more likely to lose money to all the Soviet weapons to assist African countries, so he had to import a batch of Type 56 assault rifles from China, and then exchange them for Soviet boxes, and sell them at 80% of the price of Soviet weapons.

The results were very gratifying. Ustinov had already contacted him twice because of this incident. The reason was that this behavior would damage the interests of the Izhevsk military factory, that is, the manufacturer of the AK rifle. Selov could only endure the pain and stop his comprador behavior. This kind of money is easy to make. No wonder the places controlled by peanuts must destroy the industry. During the Anti-Japanese War, the steel mill was shut down. It is worthy of being the great leader of the Republic of China. It is a perfect place for all people to pass the ages...

To put it far, the cost of the Soviet military factories is higher than that of China, and many Soviet light weapons actually have no technical barriers, so they are subject to fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers. Selov first discovered this in Indonesia. The light weapons sent to Indonesia by China are large in volume, making the Soviet-made ak47 assault rifle a bit flashy.

Selov told Ustinov about this situation and clearly told the head of the Soviet military industry that with Chinese labor costs, once the competition starts in light weapons, the Soviet Union will definitely not be able to compete with China. I hope Ustinov can make corresponding adjustments after calculating the pros and cons.

Ustinov nodded cautiously after learning about this. In fact, by 1966, the manufacturers of AK assault rifles had long been spread across the Soviet camp countries, and the ongoing Vietnam War made the AK assault rifle famous. It can be expected that it would spread to the whole world immediately. This is not difficult, something without technical content.

A rapid phone call sounded, and when I answered the phone, I heard the voice of the secret police chief Kadpov, "Chairman, there is a conflict in Lenin's tomb, involving Chinese students."

"Talk carefully, yes!" Serov sighed and said, "The environment in China is different from ours. Don't take strong measures. Find a comrade in Red Square to bring those dozens of people to Rubiy Yangka. I'll talk to them and send them back to China." After that, he put down his phone and had a headache.

There are still Chinese students in the Soviet Union, but the two countries still have frictions due to Stalin's problem. Because of Selov's original complaint, Khrushchev is still in power on the stage, so Stalin in the Soviet Union is still mainly criticized, but China is not the Soviet Union.

Before returning to China, Chinese students went to Red Square to pay tribute to Lenin's remains, and at the same time presented a wreath for Stalin, which read, "Stalin is a loyal friend of the Chinese people's liberation cause. The Chinese people's respect for Stalin and friendship for the Soviet Union are completely sincere. No one's provocation or slander or slander are useful."

In the current Soviet environment, this kind of behavior is almost the same as provocation. Selov can only downplay the matter. Of course, he must let Khrushchev know in the future, otherwise this would be a crime.

In the evening, Selov went directly to the Kremlin to explain this matter, "Considering that our two countries are currently working together to fight the enemy in Vietnam and China's influence in Southeast Asia, it is not suitable to expand this matter at this time. According to my estimate, foreign newspapers will report this incident tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I think this obvious provocation and disagreement should not be paid attention to. Besides, those people are just students, and they will return to China after they meet with French students. There is no need to cause conflicts at this time."

"You handled it well!" Suslov said directly before he waited for Khrushchev to express his opinion, "At this stage, it is normal for us to have some arguments with Chinese comrades, and it doesn't matter if we can't convince each other. But our relationship with the United States is a complete enemy. From the overall perspective, you are considering it right. We need China's help, Indonesia's situation and Vietnam's situation. Let Comrade Andropov protest to China in the name of the Central Liaison Department. I hope that similar things will not happen again in the future. Comrade Khrushchev, do you have any opinions?" After Suslov finished speaking, he focused his attention on Khrushchev.

"Are you obey the overall situation? OK, let's not be an example." Khrushchev thought seriously for a long time, saying, "But you should pay more attention to this matter, it's best not to happen again."

"I understand, I'm going to check the Red Flag Border Defense Military Regions in a few days. Especially the military regions on the border with China, see if there are any loopholes that can be made up for." Selov's attitude made Khrushchev nod slightly, and this matter has passed.

"Let us know what problems are discovered, Yula, once the KGB has any difficulties, let the central government know immediately and we can solve them." Brezhnev ordered, "Border security is an important issue, you should pay more attention. If the border guards have difficulties, they can also communicate with the Ministry of National Defense at that time."

"I understand!" Selov nodded and left the Kremlin. If this hadn't happened, he would have forgotten that Sino-Soviet had a border conflict. He would have been worried if he didn't go there with his own eyes.

The Soviet border was generally responsible for the Red Flag Border Defense Army. If a conflict really broke out, Selov would be very difficult to deal with, because the KGB Border Defense Army was his subordinate. Will he suffer a loss then and he will not say a word? Then how could he be the chairman?

When she arrived in the coastal harbor, Selov immediately summoned the commanders of the border guards to ask about the Sino-Soviet border. "When patrolling the border, especially the islands on the Amur River, you must ensure that there is no conflict with China. Of course, you must be careful and not suffer losses at that time. Each patrol must reach at least 100 people, and must be equipped with tanks. Do you understand?"

As long as you are careful of these few years, I believe that the most dangerous time will pass. Selov specifically mentioned some ways to avoid misunderstandings and also asked the local border patrol to equip Chinese translations to give him a little let go of his hang.
