"What about this plan? It won't be effective in twenty or thirty years!" Serov said at the Central Presidium meeting's decision to practice cybernetics, which is also a kind of persuasion in a roundabout sense. A group of old men, saying that you can live for ten years is equivalent to wishing you good health. What are you thinking about in the next few decades? What does it have to do with you?

Even if it encounters other obstacles, it should not be you. For example, Chernenko, who seems to be falling asleep, is looking at Ustinov, who is also in poor spirits. The general secretary singled out Xiao Maomei four times last night. Gossiping around? It's not like you can't sleep like you. This is a meeting of the Central Presidium, which is held like a nursing home.

"The development of the computer field requires the strong support of the military, doesn't it, Marshal Ustinov?" Serov had to take the initiative to speak again. Now he has discovered the benefits of being a group of old men. Most people don't have the energy to talk to him. Play tricks.

   "Of course the military supports the development of the country, and our military should take risks to the country as a matter of course." Marshal Ustinov said listlessly. To be honest, he is also a 76-year-old man.

   "Oh, that's good!" Shelov felt that he should be selecting a few old guys who are not far from death and nominating them to the Central Presidium, so that he doesn't have to worry about young cadres threatening him? It is a pity to put this idea off. In this case, it is estimated that if he died, the situation in the Soviet Union would be similar to the situation after Brezhnev's death in history.

   But the use of old people is also beneficial. You can see that when these old men heard that it took twenty years, there was no objection. Not even Ligachev objected. They themselves thought that they might not see that day.

However, Serov knew that Ligachev was also a skilled man. After the war with Gotu after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there was no winner until he woke up from the Soviet Union. I don’t know which of the two opponents will live longer . From the point of view of age, Ge map occupies a clear advantage, he is eleven years younger than Ligachev.

   With himself, Ligachev is destined to only play the role of Suslov, and Serov is seven years younger than him.

"Comrade Tykhonov, how about the future of this matter?" Serov had to bear another consequence of too many old people, that is, he needed to keep asking questions during the meeting, and the teapot next to him had been replaced three times. glass of water.

   "Of course, we can improve the efficiency to a greater extent and implement the normalization of the industry." Tikhonov also spoke very slowly. He is almost eighty years old this year, and he is considered a longevity in the current presidium of the Soviet Union.

   Serov has no plans to replace Tikhonov. If possible, he will give Tikhonov as much honor as possible. Tikhonov has no children, and it is clear to now. Who doesn't need this kind of person? At least Tykhonov has absolutely no selfishness, and even if he doesn't have a child, what is he doing to make money?

In the battle with the Dnipro gang, Serov has already won. He is now the general secretary. From the perspective of the winner, he will not kill all these old men, and no one can replace these old men. Section can take the rocket up, but not a few years of operation, others are not convinced.

The only relatively young face of the current Soviet Central Presidium, except for a few newly selected cadres with no qualifications, is equivalent to him, the big spy chief, playing with a group of old men. If it is not for his frequent appearances on TV, he has lowered the Soviet Union's highest level. The age of the leadership, the Soviet populace immediately saw a swarm of zombies.

Don't talk about the Soviet people. If Serov didn't talk to Ligachev, he would have the illusion of talking to himself in the face of a bunch of air. This feeling is very embarrassing. It is better to call Serbitsky and listen to the other party. satirize yourself.

"As for the various propositions in the country, we are keeping a sideline attitude. However, Comrade Ligachev, any academic discussion must be kept within the framework of socialism. The situation of each country is different, and what suits China may not be suitable for us. The Soviet Union does not have those people to fill the current manpower shortage. It can only use the maximum energy of concentration to automate the promotion of agriculture and heavy industry." I don't know if it was infected by these old people, or the sequelae of single-handedly picking Maomei appeared, and Serov also began to fight. Yawn, he didn't mention light industry, because almost all of the light industry in the USSR was packaged out.

  Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Kurdish, many companies in these countries produced light industrial products for the Soviet Union, and a little further out, Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia in Southeast Asia also subcontracted a certain amount of Soviet demand.

   "How is the discussion about Star Wars among the people now?" After yawning a lot, the general secretary in control of the overall situation decided to talk about another more important issue. Actually, there are two issues, and the issue of the Los Angeles Olympics.

   "I have learned a lot of real opinions about the U.S. Star Wars plan in various places. The people generally hope that we will respond with a tough policy." Ligachev told the truth, this is the current public opinion in the Soviet Union.

   "Before that, let's clean up the internal instability. Of course, I'm better at this kind of thing than you!" Shelov only mentioned this aspect of work a little. The Soviet Union, a multi-ethnic state, was formed through traditional means of conquest, and its ethnic distribution resembled a mosaic-like structure. Although the CPSU kept propagating that the Soviet Union had formed a new community - the "Soviet Nation", it was not a fact. The Soviet Union relied on the power of administration, not the "multi-ethnic federal government" constituted by the economy and the sense of community.

   No one is more familiar with this point than him, the spy chief. A large part of his work in the Rupee sample card is to deal with ethnic and religious issues. The Soviet Union's founding time is still a little short. It has only been 40 years since the three Baltic countries were incorporated into the Soviet Union, and some guys who can't cry without seeing the coffin are not dead yet.

   He believed that the local generation from the independence era would die out, and the situation of the anti-Soviet movement would be greatly improved. The problem now is that 40 years is not enough time for the separatists to die. It doesn't matter, the general secretary can help them.

"When the central government's strong response to the United States is louder, we will officially tell Reagan that the Soviet Union is ready to fight." Serov said in a long voice, "Reagan believes that the United States has a great advantage, and I also think that the Soviet Union has a great advantage. The advantage is huge. Whether the economic advantages of the NATO allies play a decisive role, or whether the size and population size of our allies play a decisive role, we will know when confronted. This is not a separate confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, but two systems. Confrontation, use our camp's greatest strengths, and end the Cold War."

Reagan's Star Wars plan requires that in addition to the participation of Italy, NATO countries and Japan, the Soviet Union cannot fight alone. The Soviet Union's economy itself is slightly smaller than that of the United States. After that, both the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact allies and the Asian security system allies had to get involved.

   Mentioned this issue, Foreign Minister Gromyko and Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov were both in good spirits. This is not the time to doze off and express their opinions, and Gromyko knows that it is time to gather these countries by himself.

"But the Olympics are about to start. Are we waiting until the sports event is over to make a formal response?" Gromyko hesitated. The Olympics are about to start, so is it a little awkward to formally respond to Star Wars? OK, but the delay doesn't seem right either, because the latter would make the Soviet Union seem a little unresponsive.

   One good thing is that since Serov came to power, no one is attacking the USSR being a country of old people. The propaganda slogan turned into an attack on the Soviet Union as a police state, not to mention the ability of the general secretary who turned out to be a spy to attract hatred. After it was shown that the Soviet Union and the United States were enemies, the popularity never went down.

"Who said we are going to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics?" Serov snorted coldly. "The United States invaded Grenada by confronting the weak, which is a provocation to world peace. There is still the face to hold a peace event. The venues of the last Moscow Olympics were cleaned up. , hold the World Games for Democracy, and inform our allies not to attend the Los Angeles Olympics."

  Because the Soviet Union did not have the factor of invading Afghanistan, in the last Moscow Olympic Games, the Soviet Union was lucky not to encounter a boycott storm. With the advantage of the home court, the Soviet Union defeated the United States in the Moscow Olympic Games. The matter is not over. After avoiding the boycott storm, Serov tried to find a way to embarrass the United States and sneer at Reagan behind his back.

   Now the opportunity came. Soon, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko questioned whether the United States had the qualification to host the Olympic Games as a symbol of peace under the leadership of President Reagan, who pursued a confrontational policy.

   Before May 1st, 1984, the Soviet Union officially announced that the Soviet Union would not participate in the Los Angeles Olympic Games because of the US invasion of Grenada, a Latin American country.

   On April 15, the GDR, Hungary, and Poland announced their follow-up. On April 16, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, Albania, and Mongolia announced their participation in the boycott. Then Finland, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Angola, Mozambique, Democratic Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia joined the boycott.

   In just a few days, forty-five countries in the world have supported the Soviet Union. On the entire world map, in addition to Western Europe, almost all of Eurasia disappeared from the list of the Los Angeles Olympics, and half of Africa also said that they would not attend.

   "Play your American Games!" Sheloff seemed to see Reagan's furious look.
