In this regard, Selov has no moral integrity, and is different from the common Soviet cadres' internationalism and justice position. 13579246810 He basically says what others say. Nasser likes to be the leader of the Arab world, and Selov says he is the leader of the Arab world. He is hostile to Israel, and the Soviet Union is hostile to Israel. In the face of the Suez Canal, he can do anything.

There are only a few golden waterways in the world. Among them, the Suez Canal is one that the Soviet Union seems to be the most stable mastered by. Needless to say, the importance of golden waterways is even if the Soviet Union can meet all the resources it needs, it cannot be denied that the importance of these golden waterways. This is especially true for countries where resources themselves are not sufficient. Take Japan as an example. It has strong industrial strength but all raw materials, including food, must be imported, and it does not have the ability to protect itself. This will always be strangled.

There are only two powerful countries that can rely entirely on the local government, even if they are isolated, and they can still persist, one is the United States and the other is the Soviet Union. The conditions of the United States are too superior, and the Soviet Union is barely enough for them to be able to reach them. If Brazil, India and China are following the standards of the United States and the Soviet Union, even if they are the standards of the Soviet Union, they will have problems with insufficient resources.

If your country produces 100 million tons of steel annually, imports 80 million tons of iron ore, and the nearby waters are still under the control of the enemy, and the opponent is the world's largest navy, then your country's steel industry cannot be completely said to be of your own country. You may be able to make do with peace years, and once the relationship deteriorates, you will be strangled to death in an instant.

Therefore, the threat from other countries is not very big in Selov's opinion. The country that truly cultivates both internal and external is the United States. This country is the enemy of the Soviet Union. Other countries may have enough industrial strength, but they cannot exert all their strength even if they lack resources.

As for the help Nasser asked, Selov said that he would persuade the central government to agree after returning to China, and expressed his willingness to ask Kosigin to evaluate Egypt's economic structure and help Egypt develop its economy. He could not turn a blind eye to Egypt's 30 million people. The Soviet Union not only lacked its own population, but also its own allies. The population shortage of those countries in Eastern Europe is even worse than that of the Soviet Union.

The only ally with abundant population and resources, this country gave the only headaches to the Soviet Union. It would be nice not to be cheated when dealing with it. The most feared thing is to collect money and not do anything, so you must find an obedient country. This is the reason why Selov started a massacre in Indonesia two years ago.

"Egypt, Sudan, and Syria have a population of about 50 million, and Indonesia has 100 million. Does India count? In this way, if the enemy is defined as a NATO country, it seems that the population gap has been widened." Serov made an optimistic estimate. Although he said so, the population quality is still very poor. An illiterate and a college student are too far from the value of it. Arabs and Indians cannot be the same as those of Western European countries and the United States.

There is no doubt that the Soviet group is indeed stronger than in history. The strength of both sides has begun to approach in 1967. Behind the Americans who were still fighting and killing their lives on the Vietnam battlefield, the Soviet Union has gradually approached.

"Maybe I can really take the United States away in a wave of trouble!" Looking at the North Vietnamese telegram, Selov called his assistant to prepare to return to China, and prepared to return to Moscow to get these things done together with the amount of aid Nasser and Assad asked.

The North Vietnamese telegram also requested assistance, which was also military assistance. Judging from the telegram, the words were very earnest. It showed that North Vietnam lacked weapons and equipment. This reason Selov did not believe it. The normal loss of assistance from China and the Soviet Union is enough. It does not mean that North Vietnam is preparing something secretly.

"Well? The Spring Festival offensive? It should be him!" Selov, who had been back to Moscow from Rome and Berlin, had just returned to Moscow and accepted the title of the Socialist Heroes of Labor and a Lenin Order. Then he went directly to the Kremlin to report on the situation in Syria and Egypt, as well as the assistance needed this time.

"Egypt and Syria have suffered heavy losses, and I believe it will take several years to recover. In the process of Egypt, I noticed the population growth of Egypt. The growth rate of young people is very high. Considering the natural conditions of Egypt's own territory, according to the current growth rate, Egypt's population pressure will definitely be very huge in thirty years, and food will not be able to be self-sufficient. Therefore, the idea of ​​controlling Egypt, in addition to infiltrating the upper Arab Socialist Alliance, also needs to add the source of food to control Egypt. This source is under Egypt's nose, Sudan!" A special assessment of Egypt and Syria was made. Selov talked about the issue of the Suez Canal. This war Egypt withstood the Israeli attack, so the Suez Canal was not closed as in history.

The taxes that followed could help Egypt survive the trauma of the war. "Egypt's basic conditions can be said to be very poor, but the abundant young population is still a rare wealth. Light industry can completely help the Soviet Union solve a big problem. Especially the textile industry, I think it can provide key support for light industry."

During the Imperial Russia period, the industrial revolution began with the textile industry and then spread to the food industry, machinery industry, and hardware industry. Moscow was the center of the textile industry, and Petersburg was the center of the machine industry and hardware industry. During the Soviet period, metallurgy, fuel industry bases and petroleum industry bases were established in Donets and Baku. Therefore, industrial development often began with the textile industry.

"But you have to understand that the textile industry is the most important light industry sector in our country, and even accounts for about half of its output value. If it is handed over to Egypt, would it be a bit risky?" Kosicin thought for a while and emphasized, "What should we do if there are any twists and turns in Egypt's future relationship with us?"

The Soviet Union's textile industry was not only not backward, but on the contrary, it was relatively strong. The only one that was slightly better than the Soviet Union in this era was the United States. The textile industry was mainly distributed in the western consumption area far away from the cotton-producing area of ​​Central Asia. The central area is the largest textile industry base in the country, producing cotton, wool, silk, and linen. The main textile industry centers include: Moscow cotton, wool, silk, linen textile, Ivanovo cotton, silk, linen textile, Kalinin cotton, silk textile, Vladimir cotton, linen textile, Costroma linen textile, etc. The Soviet Union's textile industry was completely the Soviet Union.

"The textile industry is a labor-intensive industry. It requires huge manpower. The textile industry is particularly dependent on foreign countries in general. So I think Egypt's textile industry should be helped by us, which will make Egypt's economy with the Soviet Union and our allies. The textile industry is also very polluted. If you can choose, it would be better if this industry is not in our country." Selov said his reason, "What's more, Egypt has only a few industries suitable for it, and only the textile industry can absorb a lot of people, otherwise the unemployment rate in Egypt will be very high."

"I will send an inspection team to Egypt. If the conditions are appropriate, I can choose a few pilot projects to build factories first." Kosigin considered it and nodded after soliciting the opinions of his two assistants.

Of course, Kosigin understood the importance of Egypt to the Soviet Union, but the textile industry was also very important to the Soviet Union, occupying half of the output value of the Soviet light industry, so hesitated. In the end, it was more important to increase Egypt's dependence on the Soviet Union. Kosigin agreed to do a few pilot projects first.

"What is North Vietnam going to do? I have asked for so many weapons and ammunition this time. Are they preparing to fight the Americans in a decisive battle?" Ustinov is very busy now. Egypt and Syria have just finished the war, and the military has suffered heavy losses. There are still several well-preserved American fighter jets waiting to be dismantled, and these things need to be done immediately. Now North Vietnam is coming out to provide assistance, and Ustinov also feels too busy.

"Maybe North Vietnam really wants to fight the Americans!" Shaking Gwas in his hand, Serov said with great ease, "The military strength of the Americans must be above North Vietnam. Now North Vietnam can insist on the belief that defends the country is completely supported by the belief that war cannot continue infinitely. There is a limit for everything. It is not surprising that North Vietnam has the idea of ​​ending the war through a decisive battle!"

"Then what you mean is to agree? Let Vietnam and the Americans fight to the decisive battle?" Ustinov asked with his head raised.

"Of course, the Vietnamese can bear it themselves. Are we afraid of death? Before the Vietnamese's blood is shed, we will never surrender!" Selov changed the British mantra and directly applied it to himself, "But as the leader of socialism and the opponent of the Americans, in order to let the American people know that their government has been false propaganda, we must be fully prepared and find a way to kill more Americans in this battle. So inform Hanoi not to worry, and wait for us to prepare the materials needed for the war. Then a big fight will come!"

"By the way, it seems that our institute has already prepared arrow air defense. If you have the opportunity, Comrade Ustinov will inspect it. If you feel good, you can mass-produce it and see what effect it has on American armed helicopters."

"Okay, I'll give me the experimental data then!" Ustinov nodded. A week later, he specially inspected this completed portable air defense, and then quickly approved the production plan. At the same time, he began to adjust the Soviet military system, produce weapons at full capacity, and supplement Egypt, Syria and North Vietnam.
