Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 661: seems calm
To Serbitsky's surprise, Sherester went to Moscow to attend the meeting of the Central Presidium. Does this mean that after the fall of Podgorny, Sherester began to connect with Sherepin's group again? what? If that's the case, it's really bad.
When the old men of Khrushchev and Mikoyan were still there, Brezhnev was embarrassed to have obvious conflicts with Kosygin and Sherepin. Those old men either retired or semi-retired on their own initiative. This made Brezhnev have to take care of the public opinion in the party. If he didn't like the old man, he didn't like it, but he couldn't care less.
Today's meeting, it is obvious that Kirilenko must have been disgraced by Shelepin. Facing the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Kirilenko still lacks confidence. Only one person in the Soviet Union can suppress the other party, and he is visiting the United States at this time.
After taking Moscow and Leningrad in succession, it is obvious that Sherepin chose to attack at this time, because he had a certain demonstration intention, showing that he was not a soft persimmon on his side. Sherbitsky was also surprised by the fact that he joined the leader of Ukraine, Sherest, to launch the attack.
Because of the people of Shelepin, their understanding of Ukraine is actually the same as Sherbitsky. They all believed that Ukraine should not have too much indigenous thinking. In the earlier period of harmony, Shcherbitsky was supported by both Brezhnev and Shelepin, but now it seems that this harmony is over.
This is actually not good news for Shcherbitsky. Although Serepin is not more authoritative than Brezhnev, he is not a soft persimmon. He is nominally the head of the Soviet Union and also serves as the chairman of the Central Supervisory Committee. Serov is also the General Political Commissar of National Security. With the chairman of the KGB, self-protection is more than enough. The most important thing is that Sherester is more powerful than himself, and the other party is the leader.
"It's hard to do, is it possible that she was suppressed by Sherest for a few years?" Sherbitsky was stunned for a long time on the phone, and his unwillingness was certain. The whole Ukraine knew that he was at odds with Sherest. If you really want to fight, you don't know how long it will take to push the other side away.
Because Brezhnev is visiting the United States, the domestic situation at this time is obviously not suitable for Brezhnev to know, Kirilenko and Serbitsky also think so, so under the compromise of all parties, This meeting was dismissed as an ordinary routine meeting, but some news still leaked out and spread in the organization.
In another location in Moscow, Alexey looked at the young man who was hanging upside down in front of him indifferently, covered the other's face lightly and slapped him twice, and said with emotion, "What a promising young man, Why do you want to do this? If your Chairman Serov knows, guess what will happen to you? A lieutenant colonel dares to monitor the Central Committee members, you seem to have forgotten that Semichasny was also Chairman of the KGB."
Every word of Alexey made the hanged young man face ashen. He was the head of the monitoring team for Semichas. He seemed to feel that his death was coming, and immediately shouted, "General, I am I can confess."
"It's too late!" Alexey lit a cigarette with his back to the opponent, waved his hand back, motioned to suffocate the opponent with water, and shook his head slightly as he heard the sound of struggling water, "How dangerous politics is, don't take it lightly. Mix it in, especially with the two young men Zinev and Zweigon."
"Director, he's dead!" After a few minutes, Gruul, who had tested the opponent's breath, reported to his boss.
"Accidents really happen all the time. What a good guy, he drowned in the river. This is a loss to the intelligence field." Alexey said as he stepped out the cigarette butts and walked out, "Two Report in hours..."
Brezhnev, who was far away at Camp David, was resting, and naturally he did not know what was happening in Moscow at this time. Brezhnev, who had a day off the next day, led the Soviet visiting team to the White House, where Nixon held a welcoming ceremony for Brezhnev on the South Lawn of the White House, and said to numerous reporters, "People all over the world now , are putting their hopes on our talks."
"As a general secretary who grew up as an ordinary worker, I will work hard to make the talks live up to the expectations of the two peoples and benefit the peaceful future of all mankind," Brezhnev said slowly, maintaining his usual cautiousness. style.
The photo of two people standing side by side will be the headlines of today's national newspapers in the United States. This represents the two most powerful countries in the world today, standing together for the first time. The results of their talks will represent the direction of the world pattern.
"It's really a deceptive scene, isn't it Mr. Kissinger? You see Nixon pretending to be indifferent. People who don't know think the Watergate incident didn't happen at all." The place. Sheloff put one hand between the two buttons on the chest of the military coat, a gesture that caught Kissinger's attention.
"I'm not a Freemason, I'm a Communist Party!" Serov threatened in a low voice, "Don't treat me as a fellow, I'm someone who wants to bury you. It's better to be clear about the enemy's position."
"This is not in line with the de-escalation of the two countries, General Sheloff, you are against the wishes of the two countries." Kissinger wanted to replicate what Sheloff did to him, but it was a pity that Nixon would not let him do it. Kissinger can't be as reckless as Serov was in the Kremlin.
"Don't use my reputation to scare me, my reputation has long been stinky, especially in the United States. And you have no evidence, whether there is surveillance nearby, I am the intelligence chief, and I just talked to you and covered it with my hands. Your mouth shape!" By the time Nixon and Brezhnev's welcome ceremony was over. Sheloff patted Kissinger on the shoulder and said in an elder voice, "You are still too young compared to that old spy Hoover. He is not my opponent, let alone you..."
As a disgusting spy chief, this time he accompanied another general secretary to visit the United States. Some reporters were still pushing forward, wanting to ask Brezhnev some more questions, Serov waved his hand to let the security personnel separate the crowd, Brezhnev himself is not good at words, he is not Khrushchev who likes to debate, a little Neither are suitable for this environment.
"General Secretary and President Nixon, there are important things to talk about, as do other comrades. I hope the American reporters will understand!" Shelov opened his hands to let these reporters stop.
"Who are you?" a reporter who was stopped by security personnel asked, pulling his neck. This question made other reporters suddenly not know what to say, which was too embarrassing.
Serov smiled slightly, tightened his collar, and asked amusingly, "You don't even know me, you've just been a reporter for a while? I'm the Soviet General Political Commissar of State Security, Chairman of the State Security Committee, Yuri Yefimovich. General Serov... the head of the secret police who carried out a reign of terror in the Soviet Union as you say..."
Sheloff was actually not very good, but he couldn't stand American journalists bragging for themselves every day. He had published several books without his permission. He wanted to ask when he would receive the copyright fee.
"General Serov, why are you the most hostile to the U.S. among the Soviet leaders? Is there anything in the U.S. to offend the Soviet Union? Why are you hostile to us?" A quick-response reporter asked immediately, grabbing everyone Before.
ah? Shelov raised his head and was stunned for a while? Don't get me wrong, it's not that he doesn't take the time to talk, but that he offends too many places, and he doesn't know how to talk about it, Galaxy? Strait crisis? Yugoslav embassy? Collision in the South China Sea? No, this is all from a previous life, and it hasn't happened yet. More recently, the Iron Curtain Speech, the Berlin Crisis, the deployment of nuclear missiles in Turkey, the infiltration of Eastern Europe by airborne spies in the 1950s? Too many, too many for a while and I don't know where to start.
"Young man, do you know the sign of the beginning of the Cold War?" The smile on Serov's face has faded and disappeared, "From Szczecin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron railroad across the European continent. The curtain has fallen. At that time, there were other parties throughout Eastern Europe, you forced the Soviet Union to consider a new threat, face the threat of the United States, and began to establish the One Action Plan, and the Warsaw Pact was established after the North Atlantic Treaty. The Soviet Union was forced to face it. The so-called Soviet threat today was provoked by you."
"Everything has a reason. You took the initiative to besiege the Soviet Union and then said that we want to conquer the United States? It can be seen that the education in the United States is really not good. I have no intention of discussing issues in the system, just to correct the wrong view of history in your mind. Sheloff stretched out his finger and shook it. "Think about your own problems. The United States today is completely different from when I came to the United States more than ten years ago. There are decadent scenes everywhere."
Nixon and Brezhnev held extensive talks on restricting strategic arms, the economy, trade, etc. Brekonev emphasized the extreme importance of the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States: "We know that in terms of power and influence, only two countries in the world, the Soviet Union and the United States, are really in charge. As long as anything is decided between our two countries, the rest of the world The state has to follow us even if it may disagree."
Nixon acknowledged that with the growth of Soviet power, the balance of power between the United States and the Soviet Union had become balanced, especially in terms of decisive nuclear development and nuclear capabilities. Nixon stressed: "We are the two most prominent nuclear superpowers, that's a reality. But we have allies on both sides. They all have self-respect. We should never do things with disregard for their interests, or we'll mess things up. ."
The talks between the two were still conducted in secret, from the Kremlin to the White House, and at a different location. Sheloff, who came in, saw Kissinger waiting outside again, not very happy, and joked very happily, "This is not Kissinger. Mr. Ge? What? It's your own place in the United States, but you still can't participate in the secret conversation." (To be continued~^~)
