Big Time 1958

"I myself have never doubted the greatness of socialist construction. The coexistence of the United States and the Soviet Union is not a reason for my struggle. My work has only one purpose, the elimination of the capitalist center of the United States! To achieve this goal, I can be friends with anyone. , whether it is African generals, Arab national leaders, European communist comrades, or even Trotskyites in South America, as long as we win, they will all be communists. The country and even the entire socialist camp will lose!" Serov said in a very wistful tone, "To put it mildly, one billion people in the entire socialist camp may pay a huge price for our failure..."

   "The two extremes of the enemy and ourselves cannot coexist peacefully!" Andropov summed up Serov's words very simply and easily.

   The two extremes of the enemy and ourselves cannot coexist peacefully? Valya, who had been listening to the conversations of the men, lit up, savoring what she heard today. If she wasn't Serov's wife, this conversation between the KGB and the head of the Central Liaison Department would not have been allowed to hear. Now She also understood what her husband meant. The minister in charge of liaising with the Communist Party around the world in front of her was someone her husband valued or feared very much.

"Comrade Serov, you are a person with ideals, and I am very honored to have a friend like you!" Andropov stretched out his hand and shook Serov's hand, "Our ideals may pass over time. Some faded, but no one can fundamentally question him, as long as there is a slight adjustment, there is no reason to lose to capitalism, even if they are indeed stronger than us, but I believe this is only temporary..."

"Since I entered the KGB, I faced countless enemies, domestic and foreign. Nationalists, anti-Soviet elements, imperialists, traitors! But none of these people are in my eyes! If one day I die Now, I hope these Soviet enemies don't feel sad. Because I live one day, they will not survive!" Serov slowly let Andropov understand his meaning, word by word, and then said, "I am very early. I just want to establish friendship with you, not on behalf of Xie Lepin, as a like-minded comrade, on behalf of myself, I hope we are friends!"

"Although Xie Lepin is the chairman of the KGB, I can actually see that the reason why there was no fluctuation in the large-scale airborne of the Communist Youth League cadres in the KGB. It has a lot to do with your existence! It is not unreasonable for some people to say that you are the reserve chairman, but Only Shelepin can trust a man in his thirties, General Shelov, you are very lucky!" Andropov said this, not to defect to Shelepin, in fact, Shelepin and him are a cadre of the same level, very early They were both from the Communist Youth League before, and Andropov was willing to be friends with Serov. But definitely not under Shelepin's wings.

The conversation between Serov and Andropov, which was as long as the one between Mikoyan and Parimi Rotoriatti, through an ideal called the stepping stone, Serov and Andropov, this history The Soviet general secretary from the upper KGB established a personal friendship! When they returned to the Italian Prime Minister's Office from the outside again, Mikoyan and Parimi Rotoriatti were in high spirits. Mikoyan was the most sensible person in the Soviet leadership. There is a metaphor that may not be particularly appropriate. There is no leaf in a thousand flowers, but Mikoyan is such a person. He can chat with the leaders of any country.

"Comrade Prime Minister, Vice-Chairman Serov is the best among our young Soviet cadres. This time, the delegation he led came to Italy to discuss cooperation with you, and he was going to let you support the Soviet Union, hehe..." Mikoyan's eyes were very special. So good, I saw Andropov and Serov who came in immediately, so the two became the topic of the two bosses again.

"We have met Comrade Andropov for a long time. As for Comrade Serov, I have a better understanding of his abilities!" Parimirotoriatti knew how difficult it was for the Italian Communist Party to come to power. Serov, who was an ambassador in Italy, was impressed.

The delegation of the Ministry of Light Industry and Maritime Transport of the Soviet Union brought by Serov had already started negotiations with various Italian departments. After the two parties had made preliminary contacts, it was Serov’s turn to negotiate with the ministers of various Italian departments. The leaders of various state-owned enterprises and departments are currently mostly occupied by Communists and Socialists.

After all, it is the Italian Communist Party that forms the government and the Catholic Democratic Party is in opposition, but the Catholic Democratic Party can still form a wide range of checks and balances. The United States has spent a lot of money to maintain the balance of power in the Italian political arena. Even if Italy temporarily falls into the hands of the socialists, they still hope to retake Italy one day. , the status of this country is extremely important.

In a sense, this kind of mutual check and balance is indeed a little easier than the Soviet Union's system of eradicating corruption, but it is only a little easier. Not every country is like the United States, and it claims to be a country to the outside world, but it is actually a group in the cloak of a country. The company and the government are only part-time workers! In general, once the two parties in a country disagree, it is very easy to fall into a state of strife. Unfortunately, this possibility is the greatest, and few national party disputes can be controlled within the scope of not affecting the country.

Mikoyan agreed to attend the Rome Olympics a few days later. Parimi Rotoriatti expressed his gratitude The vice-chairman, or the No. 2 or No. 3 person, will attend the Rome Olympics. Parimirotoriatti has been receiving guests in this area. ***? Ulbricht is also preparing to attend the Rome Olympics.

   In addition to these socialist countries, the French Communist Party, the Greek Communist Party, the British Communist Party, and the Japanese Communist Party have also sent representatives, very much like a proletarian grand meeting! Serov doesn't know about other countries, at least he doesn't understand why the Japanese Communist Party came to join in the fun, but these Communist parties in Europe were instigated by the First General Bureau.

   The way of saying goodbye to the two of them makes Serov feel a little bit disgusted. Does the friendship of the proletariat have to be expressed in such a nauseous way? Fortunately, there was no Brezhnev kiss, so he really couldn't stand it.

Mikoyan and Andropov were sent to the hotel arranged by Italy, and Serov also stayed to take a look at the surrounding situation. Now he has too many people in his hands, and there is a steady stream of support forces coming from the country. There are not many occasions to engage in espionage activities in such an upright and open manner. Some new spy equipment newly put into production by the General Administration of Technology will also complete the first battle in Italy. With the theme of peace as the Olympic Games, Serov will also contribute to peace and steal things to bring the Soviet Union closer. And the strength of the United States is to contribute to peace.

   "Yuri, do you think you will have difficulty negotiating with Italy this time?" Mikoyan asked with great interest when he arrived at the hotel.

"No, some Italians value things that are not very important to the Soviet Union. We and Italy are still very complementary. For example, the shipbuilding industry Italy is subject to competition from Spain, and Spain's cost is low. In order to keep itself The Chinese shipbuilding industry will not flinch, and will definitely win our orders for ocean-going fishing boats! As for the cost, with the existence of our KGB, the motherland will never lose money, you can rest assured!" Shelov was still so confident in front of Mikoyan that he didn't even want to send benefits. ? Even if the Italian Communist Party did not agree, the capitalists who depended on the order to support it did not want to. In the face of money, capitalists kneel faster than anyone else.

   "I heard old Ivan say that he is still very satisfied with your growth. Your achievements today made him very happy. Your parents should be very proud if they lived to this day!" Mi Goyan looked at Shelov and said with approval. ,

"Uncle Baghramyan has praised him! If Uncle Mikoyan returns to Moscow, please help me apologize to Uncle Baghramyan. I've been away from the country for a long time for a year, so I can't always go to see him!" It turned out that Mikoyan was Baghla. Mikoyan's old friend, Serov suddenly remembered that Mikoyan is also an Armenian. It seems that they have known each other a long time ago! In fact, compared to the two of them, there is also Babajanyan, the current commander of the Osad Military District, and Admiral Issa. Kov is also Armenian.

  Although it's rather unpleasant to call him uncle again, but they are indeed! For a leader like Mikoyan who is invincible, Shelov must learn a lot, or at least learn how to unite the majority, otherwise he will fall into an isolated position.

After staying here for a while, Serov left. In the following days, Serov kept recruiting KGB agents who came to watch the Olympic Games in China and let them roam all over Italy. With the influx of people from China, the KGB is also stepping up its own work! The KGB's own job has always been to snoop on secrets.

"If you only look at the past few years, there are people who believe that Italy is a semi-socialist country! But until the next election, everything is not easy to say!" Serov and Andropov also wandered aimlessly in the streets of Rome. Wandering around, communist symbols can be seen everywhere in the streets of Rome, which is completely different from the last time Serov was in Italy.

  With the approaching of the Olympic Games, leaders of many countries came from China to participate in the opening ceremony of the Rome Olympics. Italian Prime Minister Parimi Rotoriatti became the busiest person, constantly receiving leaders from various countries! Including dozens of general secretaries of the Communist Party, Italy, which has appeared in a neutral position, has the feeling that the stars hold the moon, and it is simply the focus of Europe. Italians have never known that they have such great influence.

   Three days after Mikoyan came to Rome, the U.S. Secretary of State also came to Rome. Many leaders of the two camps came. The newspapers in Rome reported every day where the big people came to Rome.

   "This should be my credit!" Serov, who had already put the Su-Italy Friendship Association in his pocket, thought of all this. (To be continued~^~)
