Big Time 1958

"Well, don't worry! I'll go there when I have time, well, no, no, um!" Shelov kept nodding, comforting the two women, and then put down the phone. In the empty office, only himself was left facing A cloud of air smirks. It's no wonder that, as an ordinary man, he is always full of a sense of accomplishment about the successful seeding, no matter how many times the seeding is successful.

This is the condition that Serov promised after releasing the positions of the two women Issemotny and Lukani. These two female spies will not be abandoned by him, and this call is a good news. In short, it is Mao My sister is pregnant and the baby is mine.

In the entire Soviet Union, Serov thought for a long time that only the seven major cities of special agents were suitable for hiding these two women. First of all, these cities did not exist on the map. The surrounding areas were all military restricted areas and guarded by internal guards, not to mention ordinary people. There are very few cadres who have agreed to go in. Besides, the environment inside is also good, with all the necessary living facilities. There is no problem in letting the two women spend a year and a half without showing up.

   "Sister, what did the general say?" Lukani also stood by the phone, with eager eyes in her eyes, hoping that Issemothene would bring good news.

"He said to wait for a while to come to see us and let us cultivate here!" Isamotney took the phone and told her sisters the news. The two were selected by Shelov as their secretaries at the same time, and they finally got it today. After getting what they want, their fate is already very good compared to many female spies who have been trained.

If the two women still have some wishes, in addition to having their own children, they also hope that the KGB can pay attention to the life guarantee of female spies after retirement. The Soviet Union has absolutely nothing to say about active agents. It can be said that they can do whatever they want. What to give, but it's more general when it comes to treating retired agents, especially women. Issamotne and Lucani hope their men will one day solve the problem.

   Shelov didn't know that the two women still had this kind of desire in their hearts. If he knew, he would do it immediately. After all, they were his subordinates, and he didn't feel bad about how much money was spent. But Serov, who was calculating how many children he would have in his lifetime, didn't know.

   Then he has to go to a party, party! In addition to drinking and eating, he also needs to talk about things. Brezhnev himself likes to talk about things in private. In fact, Shelepin and the others are similar, but Shelepin himself has a limited salary and always has to show his upright appearance. So it's a lot less.

My boss has political pursuits, so he is strict with himself, but most people are still willing to deal with Brezhnev who is more like an ordinary person, so Suslov and Shelepin are not much attractive to ordinary cadres. force.

   One of the people who thinks this way is Andropov, who is by Serov's side. Andropov is currently the head of the Soviet Central Liaison Department and secretary of the Central Committee. In terms of level, it is still a little higher than Serov, but it is also limited. In fact, Andropov is more like Suslov's spare at this time, and the first vice-chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers Usti is beside them. Nov and Serov, besides being with Sherepin and the others, also prefer to be with Andropov and Ustinov. The reason is very simple. They have a common language.

  It’s okay to talk to Andropov about exporting the revolution, and talk to Ustinov about how to build up the Soviet armed forces. It’s even more interesting than analyzing how the country is doing when you are with Sherepin and Yegolychev. Andropov and Ustinov were very firm hardliners, and later generations firmly supported the attack on Afghanistan. Of course, that decision was really stupid. But anyway, there is nothing wrong with the attitude. If there is any problem in it, it is that we should take a big bet and join India to destroy Pakistan directly.

   The main job of Andropov's Central Liaison Department is to establish relations with socialist parties in various countries. It has part of the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but its work is more focused on exporting revolution. The Soviet Union exported its own values, such as the Comintern in the early days, the nine-nation intelligence bureau of the Communist Party and the Workers’ Party in the postwar period, and now the Soviet Central Liaison Department and the Soviet National Security Committee, of which the Central Liaison Department has more work. Except for a few hot spots where the KGB did it alone, most of the time it infiltrated at the request of the Central Liaison Department. The more than one billion yuan of the Central Liaison Department's annual funding is used for this kind of work.

  When the Soviet Union was on the offensive in the 1970s, the work of the Central Liaison Department of the Soviet Union was no less than that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, supporting dozens of allies and hundreds of pro-Soviet forces and guerrillas across five continents. There are Soviet-backed forces in parts of almost every country, especially Africa.

"Recently I'm going to attack the Sultan!" In front of a country house, Serov leaned against his subordinate and stared at the wine glass and said, "Aboud is now trying to ask for the influence of the Soviet Union, I don't know whether he will go the neutral route or not. We are anti-Soviet, but we have spent so much effort in Sudan, and we can’t just finish the construction in vain and let people out. Moreover, the domestic food problem cannot make us lose Sudan, and it will take time to find the next food production area. There will never be a problem in Sudan.”

   "Have you decided? How sure are you!" Andropov asked quietly, taking a sip of vodka.

"How can you mention the success rate before this kind of thing happened? It's possible 100% or 0%, it's just a question of whether the probability is higher or lower!" Serov answered with trembling eyebrows. In this regard, Andropov and The two of Serov can be regarded as half peers, and the work of the Central Liaison Department is also inseparable from the support of the KGB.

"The place in Africa is more complicated, and the work of our Central Liaison Department is not easy to do!" Andropov's expression changed when he mentioned Africa, and the Central Liaison Department was also very difficult to work in Africa. Shelov understood Andropov very well. Moodly, most areas of that place have no historical and cultural heritage, and are basically semi-finished products in the post-colonial period. The local country is smeared with both eyes, and the Soviet Union is warned with constant facts about how the black uncle did the revolution.

"If it weren't for Sudan being too important, I wouldn't do anything there? In my opinion, most countries in Africa should use the military government to stabilize the basic order established for decades to talk about development." Issues in Africa The above two people have quite a common language. Shelov knows that the Soviet Union’s operation in Africa for decades is not in vain. In the 1970s and 1980s, six socialist countries appeared in Africa, but compared with hundreds of coups and counter-coups , the success rate is low.

Another factor is the United States. When the British and French colonial empires were dismantled, the United States and the Soviet Union had a common goal for a short time, but just after the two colonial empires were dismantled, the United States and the Soviet Union began a fierce confrontation in an instant, an important confrontation. The location is Africa, where the United States has become the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union.

Most of the work of the KGB and the CIA in Africa is first to subvert pro-other African governments, and then to prevent their friends from being subverted. This will not change because Serov is the chairman of the KGB. It is difficult to build an intelligence network in Africa. Not the usual high. The worst African country should be Chad. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States staged two coups against each other after the country became independent. It became a country where the KGB and the CIA practiced coups.

"Sherov, two pro-Soviet governments in Africa have been overthrown. I think our strategy should be changed!" Of course, the Soviet Union's development in Africa has not been smooth. Although the Soviet Union's reputation in Africa is relatively good at present, its reputation If you cannot cook and eat, it is impossible for the Central Liaison Department and the KGB to keep an eye on dozens of countries on the African continent. A pro-Soviet government that is not careful will become an anti-Soviet government.

Unlike the Soviet Union’s selection of progressive forces to support, the United States is more open in this regard. Several people known as the three major tyrants in Africa in later generations are all supported by the United Kingdom and the United States. The biggest setback the Soviet Union has encountered in recent years is the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Lumumba was overthrown, and the second-largest country in Africa is currently ruled by the CIA-backed Mobutu.

"The current situation shows that we have attacked too far, and some places are out of reach at present. So what I mean is that we should shrink some of our forces and focus on solving the independent countries of British Africa, while the French African countries give up all and stabilize the East. The situation in Africa, otherwise playing a tug-of-war with Britain and the United States in the whole of Africa will be too expensive." Shelov said with an ugly face, "We have to step back. In the end, we still have to compete with the United States, but now it is indeed inferior to the other."

   "Unfortunately, our strategic projection power is still insufficient!" Ustinov shook his head and said, "If the strategic projection power is sufficient, the work of your two departments will not be so difficult now!"

"It's not a pity, the country needs time to build strategic projection power, we understand. And things are not irreversible, I'm waiting for an opportunity, and then we will get support." Shelov is not a pessimist, in his view When you come to the Soviet Union, you are fully qualified to wait, and you can afford it.

   "Support? Can support our country, I really can't think of it!" Andropov and Ustinov asked at the same time.

Serov took a bottle of wine and poured a glass for each of them, and said with a smile, "Did you forget that you have an ally who was just condemned by the whole world? If you want to break through the diplomatic predicament, you must do something, the wind comes from the east..." (To be continued~^~)
