Big Time 1958 Chapter 224

The oil price supplied to the GDR is twice that of the international market, which will cause the economy of the GDR to be more easily affected by the oil crisis than any other country. Production has caused many cars produced in the GDR to use plastic to supplement the insufficient steel. Of course, this is not a bad thing, and later generations will do the same, but at that time it was for environmental protection, and the GDR was really restricted.

  The GDR started to compete with the Federal Republic of Germany under this condition of tied hands, not to mention the many punitive measures of the Soviet Union. Even so, the development of the GDR can still be said to be good. As a country, it is undoubtedly a success. If it is not next to the Federal Republic of Germany, which is also supported by the United States, it will not create the impression that the GDR is not powerful.

   As the host in the evening, the KGB presidium arranged a welcome banquet in the auditorium. For the various departments of the Soviet Union, the KGB is special. No one knows how many informants the KGB has, and even the KGB itself has only a rough data. In this regard, the KGB is nowhere near as detailed as its GDR counterparts.

"See how happy they are?" Looking at the happy scene in the field, Serov, who was sitting on a chair by the wall, took a wine glass and gently touched another wine glass. The owner of the wine glass is the GDR Director of Intelligence Marcus Wolff, most intelligence chiefs just regard this ordinary drinking party as a pastime, not necessarily how interested, at least in this case such as Romania's Ilisescu They were still beside Shelepin, discussing issues with the chairman of the KGB of the Soviet Union.

   In this rare relaxed moment, Serov and his German counterparts seemed to communicate more easily. The two sat side by side and watched the feasting on the field. In terms of cultural exchanges, the socialist camp and the opposite capitalist camp have never stopped. Some of the enemies also have them here, except China.

"I'm very sorry about the situation in the GDR. I can only give you convenience within the scope of my work!" Shelov said helplessly, "I hope Comrade Marcus understands our difficulties. The United States is far from Europe. No one knows whether to resolutely protect Europe or whether the war will start alone. It may or may not. However, after I returned to China, I specifically analyzed the continuing focus of the Federal Republic of the United States, and it is not completely unfruitful..."

   "Oh, our other half doesn't seem to escape the eyes of the Soviet comrades!" Or self-deprecating, feeling helpless about the current situation in the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany.

After greeting the waiter to bring two glasses of wine and expressing his thanks, Serov said with some self-deprecation, "The Federal Republic of Germany is not subject to any economic restrictions, and the suppression can be attributed to economic giants, military dwarfs and political Gnomes, compared to the obvious restrictions imposed by the Soviet Union on the GDR, the most terrible thing about the Federal Republic of Germany is not the external things. It is the core of the Germanic people that has been hollowed out. The national spirit is rather abstract, and I can't explain it concretely, but For the political constraints of the Federal Republic of Germany, which in turn is indeed an opportunity for us, this is what I say about helping the GDR within my mandate..."

  Markus Wolfe stared at the field without blinking, thinking about the meaning of Serov's words next to him. To say that the GDR is one-third the size of the Federal Republic of Germany is relatively reluctant, and it is far worse than the Federal Republic of Germany in terms of population and territory. The decline in population was only halted after the construction of the Berlin Wall. He couldn't figure out what could make Shelov value it.

   "The political attempts of the Federal Republic of Germany are restricted by the United States. But we do not have to restrict the influence of the GDR, Marcus. Do you mind if we find a place to talk?" Serov invited sincerely.

   "Of course there is no problem, we are very interested!" Markus Wolf put the wine glass aside and left the festive KGB auditorium with Serov in tandem.

This is Serov's first vice-chairman's office. Below the KGB's sword and strong shield logo is a world map blocked by a curtain. He smiled and looked at Markus Wolff with meaningful eyes. "The world is in our hands. In a sense, the progress of our intelligence department's work is the first step to affect the situation of the enemy and the enemy. Our chances of winning this war are not small, at least better than the odds that you won World War II back then..."

The so-called historical necessity is a word often used by academic experts. From a political point of view, nothing is inevitable. The reason for Germany's failure is that the Soviet Union used the same powerful war system and spiritual force to block it. The price is 30 million people. killed. It is 1960, the ratio of males to females in the Soviet Union is still huge, and the generation born after the war has not yet reached adulthood. What if the Soviet Union knelt down? It cannot be said that Germany has no chance of victory, only that the Soviet Union has a greater chance of victory.

   Now the gap between the Soviet Union and Germany has widened further, not to mention that only one-third of Germany is in hand. In this case, the Soviet Union is still playing with restrictions, and it is obviously inappropriate to double the export of steel to Germany and the price of oil. Lao Maozi's thinking is quite extreme. He always feels good about himself and thinks that he can hang everything. When there is no hope of victory, he encounters a leader like Ge Tutu who admits defeat. He can't think of that person. There will be a sense of fate that God will kill me, which is not a good feeling as an atheist.

"You Germany is a rare colonial empire in our camp. Although it can't be compared with Britain and France, some influence and legacy relations are stronger than our Soviet Union, especially in some peripheral areas of the world. For example, South America, such as southern Africa! Shelov pointed at the map for a while, and staggered and stood in front of Markus Wolf again and said sincerely, "As far as I know, the people over there have a good impression of you in Germany. Is there anything in South America?" Without your German immigrants, your original foundation plus our current communist ideology, and the support of our KGB, there is no reason not to achieve results?"

   "But most of those people support the Federal Republic of Germany!" Markus Wolf said calmly after thinking for a while.

"But the Federal Republic of Germany does not have the ability to expand its influence to South America. It is not that the national strength of the Federal Republic of Germany cannot do this, but that your opponents are still restricted in this era, and I can unlock the restrictions on the Stasi of the GDR." Serov threw out a temptation that could not be considered a small one.

Because from the perspective of economic strength, the Soviet Union is the disadvantaged side. It is not as serious as the expansion after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, but it does have a gap with the United States, so it has given intelligence agencies a huge amount of money in this regard. The right to prevent the other party from using economic power to subvert itself. In the power of intelligence agencies, the departments on the Soviet side are generally stronger than the enemy on the opposite side. It is not a problem for Serov to release the restrictions of Stas alone.

"The Federal Republic of Germany is Germany, but the GDR is not Germany? The German population in South America will not expel the Germans in the GDR? Now is an opportunity. When the development of the Federal Republic of Germany makes the United States feel unstoppable, sooner or later It will be powerless to prevent the Federal Republic of Germany from establishing contact with the German population in South America." Seeing that Markus Wolf was still thinking about it, Serov continued to add weight to the balance.

It took great effort to release the Stasi, the most efficient intelligence agency of the Warsaw Pact. Sheloff did think that the Stasi was strictly confined to Germany. Can make the opponent not find the ability of the lurker, and the Stasi should play a greater role.

"Thank you for the trust of the Soviet comrades. If we can defeat our opponents, I hope the Soviet Union will not forget Germany's contribution to the field!" After a long period of consideration, Markus Wolf finally decided not to be content with sending officers to make small troubles. To start preparing to restore Germany's overseas relations, it is necessary to do so while the Federal Republic of Germany is still restricted.

   "Our KGB will give you Stasi's full support!" Serov restrained the joke in his expression, reached out and gave Markus Wolf a high five, the cooperation between the Soviet Union and the GDR does not need to sign an agreement. Not afraid of a GDR rebellion, unless they can wipe out the Western cluster, there is no chance at all.

This meeting is not entirely the KGB gathering small partners to prepare the spoils, but also designing some civilian things, that is, all the intelligence agencies agreed to help the Soviet Union's Alpha mobile phone system to be promoted in the country, the more share a product occupies, the higher the cost. ability is lower. There is no chance now. If there is a chance, Serov must consult with Andropov, and contact the Communist parties in other countries to quickly promote the Alpha mobile phone and occupy the market before the United States.

   When they returned to the auditorium again, everyone was already flushed, and it seemed that they had not drank less. No one was dissatisfied with the KGB leading them to seize Africa and expand their influence, and they seemed happy.

   "We must be fast, otherwise, two countries will be able to react quickly, and they will follow soon!" Shelov said lightly to Markus Wolf next to him.

   "Who!" Marcus Wolf asked, one should be the United States, but he didn't know who the other country was.

   "The United States and our other ally, and even the Americans are not as fast as the Chinese comrades..." Shelov said in a confident tone. Now China is a little poorer, but whoever doubts the strategic vision of these leaders is definitely a big mistake. (To be continued~^~)
