This confrontation will not shake the foundation of the Soviet Union for the time being, but it will indeed shake the mountain. Fortunately, the foundation of the Soviet Union is much more stable than in history. Otherwise, this wave of confrontation will inevitably cause the Soviet Union to lose blood. Things in Portugal require a little more softness than proxy armed conflict.

  All people in the world are created equal, this is a noble pursuit, but at the national level, the value of Europe is the greatest. In order to compete for this place, the Soviet Union and the United States must pretend to be noble and wait for a fatal chance. When your opponent is dead, it's not too late to be a villain. Serov doesn't care how many people die in the third world. As long as there is no major event of ethnic cleansing, it will not cause a worldwide shock.

   Europe is different. Even if less than ten people died due to protests, as long as there are casualties, they may be bitten by Reagan’s big wolf dog. Serov finally found a sense of his own skills and became a firefighter.

  Using the righteousness of the Comintern to stabilize the situation in Portugal first, expressing that other fraternal parties are concerned about the voice of the Portuguese people, and will discuss this issue at the Comintern Congress and respond to the correct voice of the people.

"If this were Poland, I would have let them feel the iron fist of social imperialism. Let them know what is the theory of international dictatorship and limited sovereignty." Serov's impression of Poland is so direct. For Poland, except for the West Slavic Mao sister , basically the general secretary has no positive views.

Having said that, in the telegrams to Vietnam, Indonesia, Cuba and Chile, the general secretary had no intention of chatting casually at all. Between the lines, he asked these countries to strengthen ties, rely on each other to protect themselves, and support nearby ones. Fraternal party, playing the leading role of the local Congress Party.

   The General Secretary did not say it explicitly, but in fact these words are gradually the shadow of the theory of limited sovereignty and the theory of international dictatorship under the framework of social imperialism. The general secretary who was about to leave for Lisbon picked up the phone and said, "Pick up Comrade Shcherbitsky, First Secretary of the Ukrainian Party Committee!"

   "Who are you?" On the other side of the phone was the voice of a little girl who seemed to have just gotten this new job.

   "Then who are you?" Shelov looked like he had a toothache. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

   "I'm Tymoshenko, an operator in Ukraine." Tymoshenko really just got the job, which her father-in-law helped win over, but she's not very familiar with it.

"I'm the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, the chairman of the National Security Committee, the general political commissar of national security, and the Soviet Marshal Serov." Serov's eyebrows jumped, and regardless of whether the other party's name was the same or not, he directly said, "Give it to me. Pick up Comrade Shcherbitsky, I have something to look for him."

   "Please wait a moment!" Tymoshenko replied in a hurry immediately, Serov looked at the phone on the table, in fact, in terms of convenience, this kind of phone is actually not very useful. It was only because it was not easy to be intercepted that it was retained by the Soviet government. According to relevant regulations, when it comes to official business, this phone is still used to contact.

"I'm Sierbitsky, what's the matter? Caspian tiger?" Sierbitsky screened the people around him and asked in a long voice, "Tell me, is there anything that needs Ukraine's support? I'm busy. "

"What are you busy with? The remaining anti-Soviet elements still use you to fight in person? Do you think it was when Sherester was just transferred?" He was really busy and asked, "It seems that you haven't come to the Kremlin for a meeting for a long time."

"Are you attending the meeting of the Presidium of your National Security Committee?" Shcherbitsky sneered. "With your loyal wolf dogs, why can't the resolution pass?" Half of the members of the Soviet Central Presidium Committee were from the KGB. What Shcherbitsky said was to satirize the current highest authority in the Soviet Union, which has almost been regarded by the KGB as the second Lubyanka. The top leaders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the KGB, the Central Supervisory Commission, and the Central External Liaison Department are all security cadres.

"Don't say that? You also know that I have been talking about national security work, and the talents of the reserve cadres have to be discovered slowly, and there is no way to do it now." Serov, who was holding the phone, said haha, and asked, "You must understand this. There are a lot of people inside, who you ordered to look at me at the beginning, they are still those people, it is no different."

The general secretary has not wronged Shcherbitsky. Chebrikov and Tsvigon are all senior members of the Dnipro gang. Except for the changed environment, nothing has changed. After he came to power, he did not. Counterattack counts.

"Wait a minute, I'm not here to fight with you. The country's telecommunications are also used. Will you come with me to the Comintern Congress in September?" After blocking Serbitsky's counterattack, Serov spoke directly. Said, "Ligachev is not a professional economic expert, Comrade Tikhonov is too old, and besides, the chairman of the Council of Ministers has a great symbolic meaning, I can't go to Lisbon with him, you and Kunayev among the local officials. most experienced."

   Portugal's affairs are not something that Ligachev can solve mentally, thinking can't solve all problems. In terms of economics, Ligachev is still too young to take him with him. Tikhonov definitely has this ability, but the number two person is already eighty years old, and the general secretary is really afraid of another state funeral this year.

   Experienced cadres who can play an elder, only Sherbitsky and Kunayev. Serov has no such ability. How can a general secretary who was a security cadre talk and laugh with Portuguese protesters? Even if the general secretary is indeed experienced in many battles, he has seen a lot, and has been to many countries, but he doesn't understand if he doesn't understand.

"There are still twenty-five days. Well, then I will go abroad with you." Sherbitsky agreed, and hung up the phone without waiting for General Secretary Talking to speak again. He really didn't want to talk to this opponent. , and now even the daughter is in it.

  The Portuguese Communist Party has announced that the Comintern Congress will be held in Lisbon in September, and news that other fraternal parties have learned about the situation in Portugal, which has attracted attention, also circulated in Portugal at the same time. The number of protests itself has decreased, after all, many protesters have attracted international attention. This is also the purpose of the protesters.

  Selov understands that collective strength is advocated by socialist countries, and since it is advocated, there must be a reason for it. Therefore, in the big scene, the Soviet Union has never been stingy. As long as the scene is in place, there is always a little effect.

   Compared with the general secretary who went to bed directly from the plane, Shcherbitsky was much more solemn. This Brezhnev's intended successor did indeed have the demeanor of a leader of a major country. The person who had the greatest influence on Shcherbitsky was the general secretary of Brezhnev, who was indifferent to his anger and anger. But the person who had the greatest influence on Shelov was the big fool of Khrushchev.

   Until the time he got off the plane in Lisbon, Sierbitsky was constantly looking at the relevant information, the source of the protest, the conditions proposed by the protesters, and the conditions that Portugal can currently bear. The government promises whatever the protesters want. This is definitely not acceptable. The country has the capacity to endure it and cannot mess around. By agreeing to the demands of the people without a bottom line, the country will be burdened with a heavy burden. Sherbitsky is not satisfied with the current welfare of the Soviet Union and hopes to reduce it a little.

Alvaro Cunhaar, General Secretary of the Portuguese Communist Party, greeted the Soviet delegation at the airport. The General Secretary who woke up and his in-laws got off the plane at the same time, hugged General Secretary Alvaro Cunhaar and greeted each other and entered the official residence .

   General Secretary Alvaro Cunhaar had no problem communicating with the two. Until the Carnation Revolution, he had been in exile in Moscow for thirteen years, and thirteen years was enough time for a person to learn a language well in a foreign country.

"Someone is definitely behind the scenes, and we know who it is." Shelov said noncommittally, "Since the establishment of the socialist system in Portugal, it has appeared several times. It's just that during the Ford and Carter times, the action was not so big. After Reagan came to power, the class enemy of the people of this world took off the mask of hypocrisy, and this time we have a problem, and General Secretary Cunyaer should also understand this."

   General Secretary Alvaro Cunhaar nodded. He is also a Communist Party leader with rich experience in struggle. In fact, today's protesters will remind him of the past, but he was the one who led the protesters at that time.

"We are convinced that communism is bound to be more perfect than capitalism, but the development during the journey does not show an overwhelming advantage over capitalism. After all, in terms of foundation and development time, we are much later." Xie "Communism is not just welfare policy, that's the view of the socialists," Erbitsky interjected.

"At this Comintern conference, the communists of our countries will talk to the groups that are currently protesting. If the protesters' demands are untenable, this protest will naturally be resolved." Serov agreed with Shcherbitsky's opinion, he found a group of parties. On the second day after the arrival of the Soviet delegation, part of the conversation about the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's concern about the wave of protests in Portugal was published in the Portuguese Communist Party newspaper Advance.

   In the following days, the French Communist Party, the Italian Communist Party, the GDR United Workers Party, the Romanian Communist Party, and the Greek Communist Party arrived in Lisbon one after another, and various red flags appeared in the city of Lisbon. This is just the beginning, the parties to the convention are not yet there. "I asked the propaganda departments of various countries to send a lot of propaganda cadres!" Shelov shrugged and said, "Use them to talk and laugh."
