Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 651: deception strategy
"What? Can't you just talk to me?" Serov blocked Kissinger like a wall, and behind him in Brezhnev's office, Nixon and Brezhnev were talking privately. talks. There was only one translator present, no written recorder, nothing but two people inside.
"General Sheloff, as the head of the secret police, you have brought your skills to the extreme, no different from a decade ago." Kissinger sarcastically sarcastically sneered at Sheloff, "and as annoying as ever."
Kissinger had visited Moscow more than ten years ago. At that time, the person who set up all kinds of inconveniences for him was not someone else. He was standing in front of him at this time, and because he had been in contact with him, Serov knew that this **** in front of him was very annoying and narcissistic. To the extreme and pushy, this person always wants to squeeze in on various important occasions to show his importance.
Otherwise, he is only Nixon's assistant, and he is not the current US Secretary of State. How could he squeeze the current Secretary of State William Pierce Rogers into no sense of existence at all. If he was in the Soviet Union, he would have been dismissed like Podgorny.
"Yeah, I'm a secret police chief, but I know this is a meeting between the President of the United States and the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. I understand English, but I can actually go in as a translator. This is the Kremlin, not the White House. How can I arrange for me? Say what you say." Shelov said unmoved, "Don't think that you can be treated here in China. China is diplomatically isolated and more hospitable. Anyone who visits them will do diplomatic etiquette, not just you. "
"I said, Mr. Assistant Secretary, if you don't maintain a gentlemanly manner and wait outside for a while, I will let the comrades of the garrison come in and put you out, obstructing the high-level talks between the United States and the Soviet Union. It is a scandal to spread out." Shelov pointed out. Pointing to Kissinger's back, several guards were standing by at any time. As long as his boss gave an order, he would come to teach Kissinger to be a man.
"You won't do this. It will delay the US-Soviet talks. This scandal belongs to the two of us. You dare not do it." Kissinger's spectacles flashed a sly look, he believed in his own judgment, Serov Don't force yourself to stop.
Saying that Serov, who was lighting a cigarette, choked on the car mat, it took two seconds to suppress this disgusting feeling, and then he countered in a funny way, "I still have an image in your newspaper? Like Satan Resurrection, I still care about scandals. Your threats are useful to any cadre, but they are useless to me, I don't care..." Then he waved his hand and shouted behind Kissinger, "Guard..."
"Wait! I'll go by myself." Kissinger was stunned in an instant. As a person who cherishes his reputation, he didn't have much to do with this hooliganism. Just like Sheloff said, the reputation of the head of the secret police. The United States has long been disgusted by the United States, and does not care about its own threats. On the contrary, once the matter that hinders the top leaders' talks spreads, their reputation will be seriously affected.
Kissinger, who looks like an intellectual, took a decisive step back. Instead of insisting on witnessing the Supreme Court, he went out and waited with the rest of the US delegation, "I'm sorry, I can't talk to you, I have to Force me to do some tough tactics, aren't these Jews cheap?" Seeing Kissinger's back who had already left, Serov said with an unhappy expression.
In the office, Brezhnev and Nixon sat side by side. It was not the first time that the two met. The last time they met was a debate in the kitchen. Whether it was a reunion of old friends or a fight, depends entirely on the current situation.
"While the United States is taking tough action against Vietnam, it is not easy for the two sides to hold the summit meeting as scheduled." Brezhnev's tone was as mild as always, but the words he used were very direct, and he talked about the Vietnam issue.
"In many cases, the United States is always restraining its own behavior and avoiding conflict." Nixon knew that Brezhnev was accusing the large-scale bombing operation launched by the US military in North Vietnam, "but we are facing a new situation. , the United States cannot but make considerations that are in its own interests, including military operations."
Vietnam is more important than the US-Soviet talks. The US cannot lose this war under any circumstances. If the price of holding the talks is that the US military loses the war on the battlefield, then it is meaningless. Contrary to Nixon's expectations, Brezhnev turned a blind eye to the expansion of the U.S. bombing campaign and let the summit go ahead as planned.
It is not surprising that while Brezhnev strengthened his military assistance to North Vietnam, he mainly let North Vietnam hurt the Americans and let the Americans come to beg him. Pushing forward the detente strategy to paralyze the United States, so as to accumulate strength to attack.
A few hours later, the door to the office opened, and Brezhnev and Nixon walked out while laughing, as if they were quite satisfied with the meeting just now, as if they had decided on a major event that would affect the world.
"Serov, do you think the general secretary and the president of the United States have achieved something?" Ustinov asked with his head slightly sideways.
"With the character of our general secretary, it is estimated that they didn't talk about anything, just some meaningless things." Serov's words aroused the approval of Andropov and Ustinov. After Nixon and Kissinger left, the three immediately went up to ask what the results were, and Brezhnev easily said that he was just chatting casually.
In the evening, in the Doron Palace, the Kremlin's oldest palace, Brezhnev once again held a dinner to entertain the Nixon and his wife after the talks. In addition, there are some members of the wives.
Unlike the others who arrived at the ballroom early, Brezhnev and Nixon were an hour late.
But this did not delay Serov's trouble with Kissinger, because this middle-aged man was always staring at his wife, which was unbearable. He never thought that politicians were very ethical. Kissinger proved this. Kissinger in the 1990s didn't have too many ambiguous relationships with Hollywood actresses. From this point of view, Sheloff and him were a kind of person. The environment of the Soviet Union made Shelov have to keep secrets, and the other party was much more aboveboard.
"Why is that old bastard's eyes so disgusting." Serov, who had been holding the glass for half an hour but didn't drink a single sip, said to Valya in a very unhappy manner. This kind of remark made Valya's smile even more charming.
After Brezhnev and Nixon took their seats, they directly faced the fresco on the opposite wall, which looked like the Last Supper of **** and the apostles. Brezhnev felt Nixon's exploration, glanced at the fresco and said, "That's the last supper of **** and the apostles. Back then, the Central Presidium, no, it was still called politics and governance at that time.”
"Oh, that must mean that the general secretary and the Pope have a lot in common?" Nixon also showed his mild attitude. This sentence made Brezhnev burst into laughter and reached out and shook Nixon.
This is a metaphor. Brezhnev's meaning is only understood by himself. **** is Stalin, and Khrushchev is Judas. In the end, he betrayed Stalin. In the end, when he came to power, he had to rebuild the Soviet Union after Khrushchev. Stalin's beliefs.
These cadres promoted by Khrushchev ultimately chose to restore Stalin's image. This would not be changed because Khrushchev voluntarily retired. Semichasny told Serov that if he was the chairman of the KGB, he would be shot first. Thousands of writers, teach these intellectuals who spread Western thinking a lesson.
Shelov repaired Stalin's reputation by spreading rumors, pointing out that Khrushchev was avenging his son's murder. But he did not spread other rumors about Khrushchev. From the perspective of reform, Khrushchev was not without achievements, but he was eager for quick success, and his accusations of reform were absolutely unscientific. Khrushchev did not go to the capitalist side to change...
Negotiations between the two sides then began again, days after a week of historic talks between President Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev ended today in Moscow. In the joint communique, both leaders acknowledged the many major differences between the two sides over the Vietnam War, but they both agreed to "do their best to avoid military confrontation." Both sides agree on the idea of a "mutual reduction" in force in China and Europe.
"The United States wants to withdraw its troops from Vietnam. They are asking us to cooperate. What is the benefit to us and what are they going to exchange? We are not short of money. If it is just to increase the loan to the Soviet Union, I think this negotiation is completely unnecessary." Shelepin, chairman of the Supreme Soviet, said at the meeting on the last day before Nixon left, "In the past few years, we have cooperated with the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany, and we have tens of billions of U.S. Treasury bonds and dollar checks in our hands. We have no economic ties, and this is what we have in our hands. The sword, we can do whatever we want."
"However, our rights in the Eastern European Union have not been recognized. If we use this as an exchange, we can accept Nixon's request on the surface, as long as the political structure of Eastern Europe is determined from the treaty. Later, we regret and support Vietnam again. Yes." Brezhnev put forward his own views, the borders of Germany and the problems of East Berlin all need such a summit, and the Soviet Union needs to solve these problems.
"But every year the Vietnam War lasts, the United States has to pay huge casualties and loss of property. This is also a benefit we can see. Even if we put the Berlin issue there, it won't be a big problem." Shelov thought for a while. Said, "Actually, there is no contradiction between Chairman Shelepin and General Secretary Brezhnev. Even if it is a negotiation, it is normal that there will be no results within a few years. Even if a treaty is signed, it can be torn up. The American people will help us, as long as we Just drag it on and you'll be fine."
"But this year, we still have to take a serious attitude, consolidate the fruits of victory after the Great Patriotic War in Eastern Europe, and consider tearing up the agreement next year." Serov thought for a while and said, "Is it necessary for me to come forward and do it again? A tough face?" This sentence made everyone laugh. (To be continued~^~)
