Chapter 666: The Remnant's Reply
Selov was very busy and busy on vacation. Chinese novel. After Indonesia joined the Soviet camp, the vast majority of Soviet people had a real place to take a vacation, which was Indonesia, a country in Southeast Asia. Although Southeast Asia was fighting, Indonesia was indeed in a rare state of stability. It was not appropriate to say this. Because of the New Guinea issue, the relationship between Indonesia and Australia deteriorated sharply. In the 1950s, the issue of New Guinea ownership broke out. For its own security considerations, the Australian government supported the Netherlands' possession of New Guinea and opposed Indonesia's retraction.
The Australian government is extremely concerned about the New Guinea issue. Its basic policy is based on security reasons. It does not want Indonesia to take it back, but hopes that the Netherlands will stay in New Guinea. Therefore, Australia actively resists Indonesia's sovereignty in the United Nations and supports the Netherlands to maintain its rule over New Guinea.
The New Guinea issue just ended, and Australia then supported Malaysia politically. When Sukarno sent troops to invade Malaysia, Australia also sent troops to station on the border between Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia to confront Indonesian troops. All this itself should end with Suharto's coming to power. But wasn't the Indonesian strongman dead? So the confrontation between Australia and Indonesia not only did not disappear, but instead became worse because the relationship between Indonesia and the Soviet Union became better and better. Now the Australian army still occupied East Timor to prevent the Indonesian army from entering.
Although the two countries have not started a war, they both regard each other as imaginary enemies. Australia's military expenditure has increased year by year, but since last year, it has become somewhat difficult to continue with the decline of world mineral prices.
However, although Indonesia confronts Malaysia and Australia on both sides, the environment is still stable. The entire country has always been lingering fear of the infiltration of Western forces and is vigilant against people including Australia. On the contrary, it is very friendly to Eastern European countries and has now become the first choice for vacations in Warsaw Pact countries. Cruises from various countries in Warsaw Pact countries carry tourists to Indonesia to enjoy the tropical scenery, which has given many rest areas under pressure in Warsaw Pact countries to free.
This is the case around the Black Sea, and the same is true for another vacation location in Lake Baikal. It is very beneficial to have these facilities free. At least many cadres don’t have to worry about competing with ordinary people for facilities. Selov is on vacation here. There is another reason for choosing here, because Irkutsk in the northern part of Lake Baikal is the power center of the KGB in Asia. Here he can also know what is happening in Ruby Yangka. Moreover, Mongolia is used as a buffer to buy time for the army of a certain country to go north. From a security perspective, Irkutsk is the most suitable.
"What's wrong? What's the news about Ruby Yangka?" Aliksai next to him asked very comfortably, "It's so good now. I used to want to take a hot spring here, but I had to queue up. The holidays were scheduled to be tight, so how could I have such a relaxed life now?"
"Who makes the hot springs less? You can make do with it. Our country itself lacks hot springs, and there is no way to queue up." Shelov snorted, "I'm on vacation, but you are not. I went to Vladivostok for inspection. As a result, I'm here for two days to soak in hot springs, so I'm not afraid of the news leaking?"
"You are working hard to build the KGB organization in Irkutsk, not to deal with China's threat, but to establish a second Rupee Yangka. Many KGB cadres rushed here to serve. These people are all selected by you. Only Zinev and Tsvigon will think that you are just on vacation. I don't know you yet? As long as you are willing, Mongolia can be said to be a threat. If you say that it is like this, will I believe the news leak?" Aliksai shrugged, "I passed by here to see what you are doing."
"What is to do is to build a spare facility." Selov reached back to reach his clothes, took out a box of Cuban cigars, lit it, and pushed the cigar and kerosene lighter to Aliksai and said, "Pump, Americans can't even smoke it, and we have all the production of Cuban cigars."
"That's a fart. The Cuban cigar smuggling US channels is the one you Latin American Bureau is responsible for. Who are you lying to? The price has increased ten times, so you really dare." Aliksai put away the cigarette, but he didn't appreciate it.
"I'm going to buy it a hundred times more! The addiction to cigarettes is as difficult as alcohol addiction. You know this best, you both are both." Shelov's old face turned red, and he was rarely embarrassed. He forgot that the other party was the boss of Gruu and knew his little moves clearly, but he would not forget to bury the other party by the way.
The two big men were bathing in the hot spring together, but there was no passionate scene. In fact, he was very annoyed that Aliksai insisted on staying here for two days. You should know that he had been bathing with Valia a few days ago. Isn’t that a happy situation? By the way, a scientific study was conducted on the buoyancy and shape of the big breasts on the water.
"Several vice-chairmen are studying how to attack Congo, but the weather in Africa this year saved the life of Congo. Let's start with Thailand first, the environment there is favorable." Selov obsessed the other party for a few words and talked about the topic, which looked quite good.
"Well, it is true that the green desert is a difficulty that Sudan cannot overcome. The extension of the rainy season has a great impact on the offense. After all, we are not gods and we must consider environmental limitations." Aliksai nodded and agreed. Green desert is another name for tropical rainforests, two largest tropical rainforests in the world, one is Brazil and the other is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. If the mechanized army established by the Soviet model dives into it, it is really not certain whether it can come out again.
"Yes, so you have to wait for a year." Selov said helplessly. No matter how hard Brazil in later generations strives to develop, it will not be able to become a world power. You can't say that they don't work hard. One of the huge reasons is that Brazil's territory has been cut by the huge tropical rainforest. The land area seems to be very large, but in fact it is fragmented by the tropical rainforest. It cannot form a large-scale urban agglomeration, and naturally it will not form a large-scale market.
As for whether the world's mineral prices will fall in a year? It should be fine. Although Chile was included in the system by the Soviet Union, it is still not much compared to the negative impact brought by the Vietnam War on the United States. Therefore, in order to reduce the economic pressure on the United States, the British and American companies that control the pricing power will continue to lower prices and make the domestic economic pressure in the United States less. The strategy of reducing the cost of raw materials should not change.
In this case, it is not unacceptable to wait for more than a year. Perhaps the economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is worse and it is easier for Sudan to achieve its goals. After all, Sudan is positioned as a powerful country in agriculture and animal husbandry. With countries like the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe that do not have enough food, Sudan will not worry about not having demand.
The economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo is extremely dependent on mineral prices. This policy of lowering mineral prices will definitely put this country in trouble, which is the opposite of the situation in Sudan. And waiting for another year may also relieve the threat behind Sudan, that is, the pro-American Ethiopian emperor Haile Selasi I, is rapidly losing the hearts of the people. Lower socialist ideas are spreading widely. According to history, the country will immediately leave the United States. The person who completed this move was Mengstu, who had military training in the United States. Logically speaking, this person should be pro-American, but he is a black man and the United States has serious racial discrimination. So after returning to China, he immediately broke off from the United States and threw himself into the arms of the Soviet Union.
During the entire process of Ethiopia turning to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did nothing except spreading socialist ideas. From the earlier emperor being cheated by the Western Virgin reporters to the racial discrimination in the United States, it had nothing to do with the Soviet Union. It was a surprise that the Soviet Union gained.
"No more talk about this. You are here to inspect the Bea Railway. No problems are there?" Selov asked. "When will the next phase of the project start? Are there any difficulties?"
"I can only say that the railway has been laid, the electrification construction and supporting facilities have not been completed. Even if the railway corps and engineering corps have been working, there are still great difficulties. The permafrost is really not easy to deal with. Even if the railway corps are soldiers, we cannot ignore the use of casualties. Even if the reduction of personnel is now serious. There is a shortage of people..." Aliksai shook his head and said, "Are you consider delaying the construction period?"
"No, this is a century of project, and it is carried out at the same time as the North-South Water Diversion, and the General Secretary will not agree. Besides, we have completed so much, and the suspension will only push the problem backwards." Selov shook his head firmly, came out of the hot spring and said while putting on his clothes, "Sometimes I really want to rebuild Gulag and use prisoners as construction manpower. Unfortunately, these people were sent to the United States by Cuba. I can't catch anyone even if I want to."
Aliksai left quietly, and Selov did not send him away. Later, he received a telegram from Ruby Yangka. There were two telegrams, one for military aid to Thailand, contact with the remnants of the artillery party, and the other party's conditions. At the same time, the plan to attack the Democratic Republic of Congo was suspended, indicating the current difficulties.
"Just make a decision. We agree to all the remaining troops of the remnants. They don't believe in Thailand. You can approve them all to join Cuba and ask Cuba to issue a batch of party certificates. They should settle the score after using Thailand. They think it's safer to join the Soviet Union, right? Well, I'm on vacation, you can start doing it." Selov put down the phone and watched Valia walk in in her pajamas. He bet there was a vacuum inside.
