Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 662: we're going home
"I forgot to congratulate you, Mr. Kissinger. You are already the next Secretary of State. You have finally achieved your dream. It is estimated that you have never dreamed of being President. It seems unlikely that a Jew will become the President of the United States." There was no one else in front of him. , There is only such a person to let himself amuse himself, Serov can only reluctantly, pretending not to see the other party's disgust, chatting like a good friend, some distant guards, thinking that the relationship between the two is good.
Two hours later, Brezhnev and Nixon came out of the office, looking like they had achieved significant results. There was a good handshake, "Nixon did not agree to the treaty I proposed to prevent nuclear war!" On the way back, Brezhnev said, "It can be seen that Nixon still believes that the US military is still above us."
"Or they believe that we are still above us in nuclear forces," added Foreign Minister Gromyko.
The two sides discussed issues of mutual concern, including restrictions on strategic weapons, the military power balance between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and European security. During the talks, the US and the Soviet Union discussed the issue of preventing nuclear war the most. The Soviet Union pressed for a treaty to prevent nuclear war. Nixon felt that the Soviet Union's insistence that the treaty was essentially a defense against the United States. After all, geographically speaking, important areas of the Soviet Union were more vulnerable to attack.
"Hmph, what is the use of nuclear power, do they dare to throw it away? They are afraid that once they agree to the treaty to avoid nuclear war, they will not be able to deal with our overwhelming army advantage in Europe." Serov chuckled and said nonchalantly, "I don't care. I believe that the super-rich in the United States are not afraid of death. From the reporters’ questions today, I can clearly see that ordinary Americans are also afraid of nuclear war, not to mention those wealthy businessmen. The average American believes that our nuclear weapons are better than nuclear weapons. The United States is stronger, this is not a normal educational method at all, this kind of idea of ordinary people will appear, it must be the government that is deceiving ordinary people..."
The Middle East issue was also of interest to Brezhnev. Brezhnev tried to draw American leaders' attention to the looming danger of war in the Middle East so that the United States and the Soviet Union could cooperate in the region to prevent war from breaking out. Nixon believed that this was because the Soviet Union wanted to use the threat of war to seek its own interests, forcing the United States to accept the strategic goal proposed by the Soviet Union: the United States and the Soviet Union jointly adopted diplomatic means to achieve peace in accordance with the conditions proposed by the Arab countries. Withdraw the army in exchange for a security guarantee for it. It should be said that this land-for-peace plan should be supported by the United States. Nixon and others did not believe that war was imminent, and were tired and ignored by Brezhnev's appeal.
"It seems that the United States still believes that the last war was the result of our intervention. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to win a war with Israel alone by relying on Arab countries." Shelov shrugged, "It's just that we can't do it ourselves, we need to The United States restrains Israel. If the other side can’t do it, then we can’t achieve our goal. It’s better to let them go to war, and let them see the combat effectiveness of socialist Iraq this time.”
"It would be better if we don't have a war." Brezhnev was not peace-loving at all. He just didn't see any benefit to the Soviet Union if the Middle East war broke out again, but Serov knew that the oil price surge in history was this time. After the Middle East War, in order to fight against Israel and its supporters, the Arab member states of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced at the end of the year that they would take back their oil pricing rights, and raised the price of their accumulated crude oil from three dollars per barrel to ten dollars, making oil prices higher. It more than tripled suddenly, triggering the worst global economic crisis since World War II. The three-year oil crisis has had a severe impact on the economies of developed countries.
In fact, people's impression that the Soviet Union exported oil in exchange for foreign exchange was something that happened in the late 1970s. In the era when oil prices were very low before, the economic growth of the Soviet Union was even higher than after that. The so-called confrontation with oil sales was simply fart. The drop in oil prices had a certain impact on the Soviet Union, but it would never collapse the Soviet Union.
"Comrade Gromyko, the negotiation with the United States will be left to you." Brezhnev is not completely without results, except for the Middle East issue and restraining the occurrence of nuclear war, other topics have achieved good results.
The first day of talks generated a great deal of repercussions both domestically and internationally. In the United States, despite the agreement's broad support, it is still believed that the dwindling and limiting of the strategic arms agreement is not sufficient to ensure American security. Domestic conservatives also worry that the US-Soviet de-escalation will be exploited by the Soviet Union and make the United States feel more at ease, thereby loosening its vigilance against Soviet expansionary ambitions.
This does not require the KGB or the Soviet embassy to go out to collect information, just open the newspaper, and the news in this regard is overwhelming, and the conflicting feelings in the hearts of Americans about Brezhnev's visit are vividly explained.
As for Western Europe, the US-Soviet summit meeting was generally praised in Europe, but it also caused unease in some Western EU countries. They worry that the US-Soviet de-escalation could reduce the US's commitment to Europe. From this point of view, diplomacy can be regarded as having some effect, but it is not useless at all. Increasing the sense of distrust between Western Europe and the United States can at least buy the Soviet Union a lot of time, which is beneficial to the Soviet Union's strategic offensive, treating Western Europe and the United States differently.
"I said, the plan should start, right?" Serov, who lived in the Soviet embassy, put down the newspaper, and it should be almost time to calculate. As for Brezhnev, he was visiting Nixon's house, and most of the security personnel were there. it's here. I just got the news that Brezhnev is driving the Lincoln car that Nixon sent him, carrying the President of the United States for a ride. I wonder if there will be a hunting scene.
"Dad, it's almost time. Before the visit, we released news in Florida, which caused quite a stir. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people have come from there, and the earliest people should have arrived." The young man behind him report immediately.
"After all, it's the United States. We have to put on a high profile and leave Americans with a little dignity." Sheloff laughed, thinking that junk food in the United States is not so unbearable anymore. Bought food thrown in the trash, this taste from the UK is really unbearable.
On June 20th, the third day of Brezhnev's visit to the United States, the entire Soviet embassy was surrounded by water. There were tens of thousands of people. People who didn't know what the Soviet Union had done to the United States. It was a matter of anger and resentment that caused the Americans to besiege the Soviet embassy, but this was not the case.
These tens of thousands of men, women and children, holding banners, came to the Soviet embassy to petition. Many people shouted in unison, "I want to go home!" They were all Soviets, GDRs, Romanians, Bulgarians. The people of Eastern European countries who landed in the United States from Cuba, the word people is not very accurate, they have lost the nationality of the host country.
"General Political Commissar Serov, what's going on?" Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, is also a veteran diplomat who has dealt with many difficult incidents.
"I don't know, let the comrades go out and ask about the situation." Shelov also pretended not to know anything, how many KGB incitements were mixed in, how would he know such a trivial matter, he was too far from an ordinary intelligence officer.
The incident at the gate of the Soviet embassy immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially the American media. They didn't know the general environment. They only knew big news, and it was explosive news. The news involved the Soviets who were visiting the United States.
People from the media flocked to join the crowd at the gate of the Soviet embassy. As for the roads here, the roads have long been blocked, and the roads near the Soviet embassy have long been paralyzed.
At this time, among the Soviet embassies that had been silent, the Soviet ambassador Dobrynin came out and shouted with a loudspeaker, "Excuse me, why are you besieging the Soviet embassy, if you have something to say, look at me. Can it be solved for you, the siege of the embassy will not help solve the problem.”
Dobrynin's appearance caused a commotion. After word of mouth, many people knew that he was the Soviet ambassador to the United States, and they all shouted, "We are going home, we are Soviets, and the Soviet Union is our motherland. "
All the shouting was in Russian, or half-familiar Russian, and the crowd rushed forward, saying that they were from the Soviet Union and other countries in Eastern Europe, which was beyond everyone’s expectations.
"Those who can come here show that they have failed in the United States, but that's not right. They can still get to Washington from Florida, which shows that it's still a good idea." Serov, who put down the telescope, put a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. He said to himself, "Now that I know what the real America is like, I really want to hear their heavenly testimonials."
At least now, the entire state of Florida has become the state with the highest crime rate in the entire United States thanks to the efforts of these landers. In fact, it is not that high, about three times that of the average state, thanks to the nearly 100,000 law thieves among these people. group. In the years since the landing, the crime rate in the United States has been rising, which is in stark contrast to the economic growth rate of the United States.
The reputation of the Soviet Mafia resounded in the fifty states of the United States, and soon defeated the Mafia in the United States and became the largest gangster group in the United States today, all over the United States. As for these ordinary people, they have been imprisoned for many years. Even if they had some technical knowledge before being imprisoned, they have long forgotten all these years of prison life. How could they live a relaxed life? (To be continued~^~)
