Big Time 1958

  The rest of the money Shelov is going to hand over to the students of the First General Bureau who are currently testing the stock market. As an officer's love for these new agents, great things must start from ordinary, and towering trees also need to be carefully cultivated from a young age! Serov is not afraid of these people spending money, and is even ready to lose money in it. As long as you cultivate such a group of people who have a sufficient understanding of the Western stock market, they will come in handy sooner or later!

   The Breston Woods system will collapse sooner or later, and Serov has to prepare for that day. That is big money. After tens of hundreds of billions of capital flows, it will be received into the KGB account. What is the concept? Enough for Serov to sell Algeria ten times, or to say that to defeat the capitalists, you must learn their methods. If you don’t let it, you are buried in the backbone, and you are not the opponents of those vampires. Now the operator of the KGB is still in his infancy. When he is conceived and formed, it may be the most profitable force of the KGB, diamonds in South Africa, oil in the Middle East, rubber in Southeast Asia, and drug lords in South America. The means are not important, but the results are important. .

When the day comes when the Breston Woods system collapses, Americans will also find that their so-called allies are no more worrying than those Eastern European countries of the Soviet Union. Compared with those allies of the Soviet Union, the so-called partners of the United States are still With the ability to resist, the collapse of the Breston Woods system was caused by his allies who came up and pushed hard. Unlike history, Serov has been saving money and accumulating funds ten years in advance. At a critical moment, That is, after the United Kingdom, France and Germany all started, the final attack kicked this hegemonic system.

   "With such a huge flow of funds in my hand, I am not at all tempted, this is too strange!" Serov felt that he was an idealist who fought for his ideas all his life.

   Lighted the report of the First General Administration and threw it into the toilet. He had no desire to see the recent projects, and even gave his own tickets to others. And of course the Soviets. Shopping with a few women on the street can even reconcile each other's feelings. "Director, the Vatican cardinal has brought a letter from Pope John XXIII, and I hope you can come as a guest?" Lucani came in and said with a letter.

"A guest?" Serov's heart moved. It seems that the Vatican is small and has some tricks. Knowing that he is the vice chairman of the management of religious affairs in the Soviet Union, Major General Kadypov, chairman of the Soviet Commission for Religious Affairs, is very much taken care of by Serov, and his views on religion Very much to his taste, if it weren't for the fact that there were no vacancies in the General Directorate, Serov would very much like to suggest to Serepin that Major General Kadypov be the Director of a General Directorate, but he was also worried that others would not be as reassuring as Kadepov when it comes to dealing with religious issues. . So it's frustrating...

   So the question is, what did John XXIII have to do with him? There is no illusion that you can use yourself as a breakthrough, right? This illusion is very deadly. Thinking of this Serov's face, a sinister smile appeared on his face and said, "Why don't you go? The great Vatican Pope invites few people in the world to have this kind of ease. By the way, how many teachers does the Pope have?"

  John XXIII is more hated than his predecessor. Obviously, he has worked **** the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the past two years, he has vigorously promoted cardinals from other regions, including South American cardinals and even black cardinals! From this point on, John XXIII is obviously going a little faster than the Americans.

   The Vatican is not without a bit of military power. At least there is a Swiss Guard of less than 100 people as guardians. These guards in plate armor follow ancient ethics! These people are worthy of respect, but they are not the same as Shelov! The so-called Swiss Guard. Now the KGB personnel in the city of Rome can deal with them! As for the Vatican Gendarmerie who maintains law and order. Even more out of his consideration.

  Until you get to the Vatican, you don’t understand why this place is called the place where the soul of Christ’s world rests. It is a pity that Serov has lived in an atheist country for two lifetimes. The church with a long history here can only be used as the scenery in the photos. As for the strong belief and religious atmosphere, there is no chance to even take photos! Perhaps because of bad taste, Serov brought Lukani to the Vatican, and Lukani is a Chechen.

"Mr. Serov, the Pope is waiting for you in the church!" After he came to the Vatican with a special pass, a cardinal came to lead him soon. In fact, Serov didn't need this at all. The agents stood on the tower with binoculars and could have a panoramic view of the entire Vatican, but the cardinals were all too old to dare to help. In the mentality of respecting the old and caring for the young, Serov did not reject the other party's kindness, only Can follow behind the old man step by step, all the way to St. Peter's Basilica, where John XXIII is waiting for him.

"Hello, Pope John XXIII, it's very pleasing to see it!" Shelov walked behind John XXIII and stopped, and said without being humble or arrogant, "I wish you a long and healthy life!" In Shelov's eyes, this is a An old man who is almost eighty years old, he said this only because of the age of the other party, not some worthless pope title.

After Pope John XXIII took office, he was regarded as an excessive pope because he was already very old, but since he took office, his achievements in just two years have changed this view. The Vatican began to look for another way out, and Pope John XXIII did not pretend to be the ruler of the Vatican, and actively eased relations with people of other religions. This meeting with Serov also has this meaning.

   "I rarely see people in military uniforms appearing in front of me. Has General Shelov always worked in military uniforms?" Pope John XXIII turned to look at Shelov and asked with a curious look.

Compared with his one-sided predecessor, Pope John XXIII clearly knew that he could not fight with the Soviet Union. The socialist camp represented by the Soviet Union has turned more and more people into atheists, and even Italy has appeared. A crisis of faith, which was almost impossible before.

"This is my job, just as it is your job to be the Pope, Pope John XXIII!" Shelov let out a faint smile, looked around at this peaceful St. Peter's Basilica, and said leisurely, " Once upon a time, this was the center of the whole of Europe, but unlike Rome, when the Pope was the center of Europe, it was the darkest period in European history. a huge burden..."

"That's all in the past, General Serov seems to have misunderstood us in the Vatican!" John XXIII said in a very serious tone, sitting on the bench, "I have heard of the Soviet Commission on Religious Affairs. , General Shelov is the direct boss of this agency?"

"Yes, the chairman of the Religious Affairs Committee, Major General Kadypov, is my subordinate! And his work makes me very satisfied. Thanks to his work, religion can be separated from people's lives!" Serov laughed Dao said, "The people's minds should be filled with science, culture and knowledge. As for religion, I have always considered it to be a dispensable thing since I was a child!"

   "Does General Serov have some prejudice against religion? Human beings need faith, and no matter how good the material is, it cannot solve the emptiness in people's hearts!" John XXIII retorted calmly.

"Our General Secretary Stalin graduated from the Georgian seminary. Under normal circumstances, General Secretary Stalin should be a future Orthodox priest. What is the reason for an Orthodox priest to become a complete atheist and turn to any religion. What about adopting a hostile attitude? Pope John XXIII, have you ever thought about this question! Is it a great irony of religion that a priest has become the most anti-religious person and purged the entire Soviet Union of the Upper Orthodox Church?" Serov's voice is not loud, and there is no possibility of arguing against the faithful pope, but it is also impossible for the pope to refute him. The existence of God is not something that the two of them can decide!

"Maybe Secretary Stalin encountered something that changed his view of religion when he was young. The priests in some places really can't say that they spread the gospel of God. I must admit this!" John XXIII shook his head slightly, if It was the Orthodox Church that did something nasty that changed Stalin's beliefs. This representative was too big, and it was almost at the cost of the collapse of the Orthodox Church!

After a long silence, John XXIII spoke again, "If all you want to do is to stop the Orthodox Church from interfering in the lives of the people, in fact, the Soviet Union has already done it, why must the religious development of the entire Soviet Union be strictly restricted? ? Keeping some institutions will not pose a threat to you!"

"This is because in many parts of our country, there is another religion! Pope John XXIII, I believe you will not forget the crusades, if two religions are hostile to each other and collide, how terrible it is ?" Serov retorted calmly, "Let alone two hostile religions, what about the same religion? Take Constantinople as an example. It was conquered for the first time, but it had nothing to do with Ottoman Turkey. It was attacked by the Crusaders on the Eastern Expedition. If the fall of Constantinople hadn’t seriously damaged the vitality of the Roman Empire, many things in the future would not have happened! "

  John XXIII was silent, the responsibility for the first fall of Constantinople was on the Catholic side anyway. (To be continued~^~)
