Chapter 173 [Mr. K]
The Georgiev Hall in the Kremlin has always been the place where the Soviet Union held its welcoming ceremony
Tang Lang walked out of the black sè car parked outside the hall
He was the head of the KGB, Semychasnygruu, the head of the KGB, Sorge KGB agent Yulia. Mirovna, accompanied by three people, walked to the Georgiev Hall
I saw two strong men walking out of the hall with a smile
The man who walked in front was short and fat, bald, with a hooked nose and lion's eyes, wearing a black suit, and he walked very steadily and solidly, and his momentum was extremely powerful
Tang Lang knew that this person must be the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Nikita. Khrushchev
And the man who walked next to Khrushchev was wearing a straight military uniform, and he was also bald, but his face was very soft and kind, especially the gray beard on the upper lip, which was quite obvious
Semychasny hurriedly introduced to Tang Lang, "This is our Supreme Leader of the Soviet Union, Mr. Khrushchev, and this is our Soviet Defense Minister Rodian. Marshal Malinovsky"
At this time, Khrushchev and Malinovsky both smiled and stretched out their right hands and shook hands with Tang Lang, "Welcome, welcome"
"Greetings to you, President of the United States, Mr. Kennedy!"
Tang Lang also hurriedly said polite words
Then, accompanied by everyone, Tang Lang walked into the Georgiev Hall together
The whole hall is oval in shape, with eighteen columns on the front, the dome of the hall and the surrounding walls are covered with huge frescoes, and six gilded two-branch chandeliers weighing 1,300 kilograms are hung from the dome of the hall, making the whole hall splendour
Georgiev Hall is just one of many halls in the Great Kremlin, which is one of the main buildings in the Kremlin
In addition to the Georgiev Hall, the Grand Kremlin has Alexander Hall, Vladimir Hall, Catherine Hall, Andreyev Hall, etc
Tang Lang was led to a small hall, only to see a long table surrounded by two rows of sofas
The guests and hosts sat down and made some polite remarks, but did not touch on the main topic of the "Cuban Missile Crisis."
Khrushchev apparently learned from the head of the Kremlin guard that Tang Lang had repelled Mikhail, the Thunderbird who intended to invade the Kremlin
"Mr. Tang, in addition to being the special envoy of the President of the United States, Mr. Kennedy, you seem to be a superhero who can defeat mutants"
In fact, Tang Lang still had some superficial understanding of Khrushchev, who knew that Khrushchev was born in a peasant family in Kursk, Russia, and was a blacksmith's descendant
Because of his poor family, Khrushchev grazed people at a very young age, and later, he became a miner
He is not tall, he is rough, he doesn't like to pretend, he is frank and natural, he speaks extremely loudly, often talks loudly, and fully reveals his feelings
And "Khrushchev" means "scarab" in Ukrainian
Some people commented that he "ran to every corner of the earth, disturbing the world and causing peace in the world", "as long as you give him a stick, he will go on a rampage"
Khrushchev was such a person
He also has a nickname called "Mr. K"
Khrushchev suffered from bipolar jīng shenbo, and as a result, after taking full control of the supreme power in the Soviet Union, he became more impudent, arrogant, and sometimes even difficult to control his emotions
He often turned from sharp ridicule to anger, and even spoke viciously, thunderously, and full of anger, which was nothing more than his "childish pride".
Of course, Khrushchev's furious jīng power did not last
Tang Lang knew that Khrushchev could not tolerate others opposing his opinions, so he had to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to arouse his anger
Seeing Khrushchev's rare praise of himself, Tang Lang hurriedly said: "Mutants have gradually emerged from under the level of the human world, I believe that the KGB should also have a lot of information in this regard, I am not a mutant, and I may not be able to deal with all mutants, however, I think human beings should be able to live in peace with mutants."
Khrushchev listened, nodded, and was silent
Thunderbird Mikhail took advantage of the power of lightning and stormed the Kremlin, but fortunately Tang Lang made a move, so he repelled Khrushchev and knew this very well
The power of thunder and lightning is beyond the power of human weapons
Humans have yet to find a way to capture lightning and use it
Khrushchev said in a deep voice: "One day in the future, mutants will most likely become the public enemies of mankind, and humanity must be prepared for everything so that it will not be destroyed."
Tang Lang saw that Khrushchev's attitude towards mutants was almost exactly the same as that of US President Kennedy, and he couldn't help but be in the X-war jǐng, which was also composed of mutants
"Mr. President, leave the problem of mutants to the mutants," Tang Lang said
Khrushchev was puzzled, "What do you mean ......"
Tang Lang explained, "Not all mutants are mutants who regard humanity as a race that must be exterminated, and there are also people who have a good impression of humanity and can protect humanity and maintain world peace, and they are also very willing to cooperate with zhèng fǔ."
Khrushchev muttered, "Mutants, after all, are the elbows and armpits of mankind......"
Hearing this, Tang Lang's heart became a little unhappy
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while
Just when Tang Lang felt a little puzzled in his heart, a man in black walked in and whispered a few words into Khrushchev's ear
I saw Khrushchev get up from the sofa and say to Tang Lang: "Lunch is ready, Mr. Tang, please taste Russian food."
"It's an honor"
Tang Lang was feeling hungry in his stomach, and he couldn't help but be happy when he heard this
In the richly decorated restaurant, Tang Lang was honored to meet with Khrushchev, Minister of Defense of the USSR, Marshal Malinovsky, Chairman of the KGB, Semychasny, Director of the KGB, Sorge KGB Agent Yulia. Mirovna and five others enjoyed a Russian lunch together
According to Russian custom, this time the state banquet was served a total of three dishes: the first was a cold salad; The second was a table full of soups and meats, such as smoked salmon herring with grey caviar, and of course vodka and brandy champagne; The third time was dim sum coffee
During the banquet, Tang Lang, Khrushchev and other Soviet dignitaries toasted one after another, as many as a dozen times
Guests and hosts have fun
After the state banquet, there was another half-hour break
Then, Khrushchev held talks with Tang Lang again in the Kremlin's Andreyev Hall, and this time, they began to formally discuss the "Cuban Missile Crisis" (to be continued).
