Chapter 669 Consort

“Yeah, both sides think they can win. It’s really hard to assess who will fire the first shot first.” Sheloff also nodded, “You can only know who is the hero and who is the rice bucket. After all, the KGB is not the main battle. Unit, this time it depends on the decision of the Ministry of National Defense. We have no respect for strong countries, nor pity for weak countries. I hope these Arab countries realize that wars are fought on their own, and we cannot always help them. ”

“We can say these words through Iraq. The editor-in-chief of the Progress newspaper once studied in Moscow, and it is enough to convey our meaning to the Arab world.” Andropov laughed, “In terms of quantity, our Weapons are always easier to field than American weapons, don’t be too pessimistic.”

“But Jews have lived in Europe for hundreds of years after all. Although the number is small, they are more likely to fight than these countries that have just broken away from colonization. We must protect them at the critical moment. By the way, what about Comrade Ustinov?” Serov is not very optimistic , The core of the army of the Soviet model is the army, and the operation of the air force itself needs system support, which is different from the US military. It is still very doubtful how much the Arab countries can learn from the Soviet army.

   “He? He’s on vacation, but in Murmansk.” Andropov said easily, “I learned from you…”

Oh! Serov touched his chin, Ustinov’s taste is really different, isn’t Murmansk in the Arctic Circle, is he looking for polar bears? This guy can’t help but look for his own kind…

Serov, who returned to Moscow, was dealing with trivial matters, such as taking his children to see pandas, or approving the KGB of Kamchatka to order to increase yacht patrols. Because the local salmon is relatively cheap, it always caused some unlawful enemy fishermen to catch them. This is absolutely unacceptable, and it is not in line with the original intention of the KGB to defend the interests of the people.

  The issue of fishing grounds in the Soviet Far East Administrative Region has always been the main work of the local KGB. This report also includes how to deal with foreign fishing boats detained over the years. There are about three or four hundred such as this, a little more in Japan and a little less in South Korea. The largest is the 10,000-ton whaling boat. The solution is not difficult. The fishing boats left to the present are definitely individuals or companies that are not prepared to compensate the Soviet Union for losses, and directly distribute these boats to local fishermen. In the reply, Lubyanka repeated the distribution to the fishermen and asked them to distribute it to himself. Vessels over 1,000 tons can be assigned to some local departments in need.

   For some settlements in the Soviet Far East, the problem of inconvenience has always existed. In addition to roads, the most reliant means of transportation are small boats and Soviet armed helicopter groups, which are used to transport the living materials needed by some settlements. Even in later generations, the main means of transportation in many settlements are decommissioned helicopter groups. The advantage of helicopter swarms is their convenience and can basically land anywhere.

  Roads, especially some bridges, often become the resting place for brown bears. Although the locals get along well with bears, it is hard to guarantee that one day the brown bears are in a bad mood, so the general travel is called cross-country bus.

In August, the Iraqi Communist Party newspaper Progress published an article pointing directly at the hostility currently looming over the Middle East and the risk of war, saying that if war broke out, the Arabs could only rely on themselves, “choose any country. When we are friends, we must also remember that we must have the corresponding strength, instead of placing our hopes on each other, otherwise we will not only lose dignity, but will lose more.”

The statement of    Progress is considered to be pointing to the Soviet Union, because it is well known that the Soviet Union has been the backing of the Arab side since the Second Middle East War. Obviously, the Iraqi government wants to tell its allies that it can only rely on itself to get back what it has lost.

   But Israel was the first to be bombarded. The Israeli female Prime Minister, Mrs. Meir, strongly criticized the offensive policy of the Arab League, saying that the Israelis would fight to the end and would not rule out a preemptive strategy. For a time, the dark clouds of war over the entire Arab world seemed to be approaching at once. Unexpectedly, the Iraqi government did not take much action after that. It seemed that it just reminded its allies to be independent, and there was no follow-up.

  Israel then significantly increased its combat readiness, as did the Arab side, but then Egypt said it would still resolve the issue through negotiations. If Israel could withdraw from the disputed territory, the war would not break out. Egypt’s statement is only superficial work, in fact, a broad Arab alliance is under preparation.

  Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko came out a few days after his remarks in Iraq, calling on the two sides to negotiate a solution, saying that Israel should spit out the illegally occupied Arab lands, which is a prerequisite for peace.

“Chairman, the situation in the Middle East is already very serious, and I don’t know when the war will start.” Morrigin, director of the First General Administration, reported by telegram, “As you said, both sides believe that they can win, and they are currently at a high level. During the alert, once there is a mishap, it will be a big battle.”

“You ask me who will shoot the first shot? To be honest, I don’t know. Help me turn off the gramophone, thank you.” Serov, who put down his pen, said a little tiredly. The music on the gramophone was Preobraren. The March of the Ski Guards, the lyrics of the first inning of the march, let Sweden and Turkey remember us forever, this is the military music of the imperial Russian era. Sweden is no longer a threat, but Turkey is still there, occupying the Orthodox holy land of Constantinople.

“In this case, there should be no risk of sneak attack. Let’s just wait for the outbreak of war. Leave it to the Ministry of Defense, and we will focus on other places. For example, Southeast Asia!” Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, Did Serov lead the border guards to help the Arabs fight? What a joke, the Soviet Union is too risky.

  As long as there are no supernatural events, Arabia is sure to win. Even if they can’t put all their military forces into it, each country sends half of its troops, and there are 50 to 600,000 people. How could they lose in this situation. He might as well plan the Cyprus issue. According to history, Greece and Turkey are about to fight. This is the only NATO civil war during the Cold War. After passing this village, Serov may not encounter a second time even if he grows old and dies, so this matter must be used and cannot be missed.

  In the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the other side of Lubyanka Square, the dignified deputy director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs walked into the headquarters with a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Major General Churbanov entered the headquarters as usual, but saw a child in a military uniform here, frowned slightly and asked the assistant next to him, “How can an organization like ours let a child in? Where? Whose child is this.”

   “General Churbanov, it’s just a child, we don’t need to ask any more questions. Someone is a guest above.” The guard who answered pointed his finger and said, “Important guest, this is his child.”

   “Who is it?” Churbanov asked with some doubts, very coincidentally, he also came to find Minister of Internal Affairs Serokoff.

   Churbanov thought for a while and then smiled to himself, feeling that he shouldn’t bother with a child either. I was able to marry the daughter of the general secretary, and I would also like to thank Rokov’s son Igor for his help.

   As usual, Churbanov and Igor were drinking and chatting at the Moscow Architect’s House Hotel, and suddenly a few girls walked in from the door. When Igor saw them, he hurriedly left the seat to greet them, because one of them was Brezhnev’s darling Galia. After everyone was seated, the enthusiastic Igor introduced Churbanov, Galia and others with great interest. Everyone was drinking and drinking, while chatting nonsense in a wide-ranging atmosphere, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Then Churbanov and Brezhneva’s love began.

   Churbanov stepped upstairs and wanted to see who was the guest of the Minister of Internal Affairs, but he did not know that the rare restraint of arrogance helped him reduce a lot of trouble.

“What the **** is going on in Stavropol? There’s almost a box full of whistleblowers. Is there a government there? Or is there no Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why is crime falling in all regions, only Stavropol Crime rates are rising in the Chechen gathering areas of Vropol and Azerbaijan? There are 28 homicides in a month, and there is a civil war there?” Serov asked indifferently, “Who is the local Minister of Internal Affairs? And this Can the problem be solved? Who is the secretary of the state party committee?”

“I’ll take care of it, Comrade Serov, and I need to coordinate with the local state council,” Serokoff said. “The security situation in Stavropol is really serious: a wave of crime has swept the city and the countryside. Cruel murders, rapes and **** cases have brought the situation to a fever pitch. People are panicking and asking the question: Is there still a government in the border region? Measures. Dozens of investigation teams can’t tell why, but they will definitely be resolved.”

“I hope so, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not smear the security agencies.” At this moment, Churbanov pushed the door and entered, which attracted Serov’s attention, then looked at Serov next to him and asked, “Then you are busy first. , the KGB is not willing to always focus on domestic affairs, and in principle I do not want to interfere with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”

“Hello, Chairman Serov.” Seeing Serov putting on his hat and preparing to leave, Churbanov hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, Serov nodded silently, and suddenly asked, as if remembering something, “My son is not running around down there. Right?” (To be continued~^~)
