Chapter Ninety-Two: Americans Have Low IQs
Unlike Serov's enemies, in the early days of the Cold War, the FBI worked harder to defend the United States from the spread of Soviet ideas on its own soil. As the director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover was the real controller of the American intelligence system in this era, and this year, Edgar Hoover has been the director of the FBI for 35 years, and his Soviet contemporary, Yezhov, is long dead, and he still sits firmly in this position.
The reason why Serov always thought that Dulles was his opponent was because the CIA was fighting on the front line on the global battlefield and ignored the FBI director, who had always been sitting on his home turf.
"It's very young, hehe! Dulles thinks young people must be easy to deal with? It's really getting older and more confused......" Edgar Hoover, who finished reading Serov's information, grinned and laughed, there are young and ambitious people in this world, and there are also people who come from behind, Edgar Hoover is the former, and has blocked the path of the latter. In his sixties, he is hardly reminiscent of a teenager, but he actually took control of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement system before Yagoda of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs at the same time.
Before the age of thirty, Edgar Hoover was already the director of the FBI, younger than Serov today. If you have to find a person to compare, you can only find it from the history of the KGB, and Beria is barely qualified to compare with him.
After more than ten years of propaganda after World War II, Edgar Hoover was finally pleased to see the hostile attitude of the American people towards socialism, but it also increased the difficulty of Khrushchev's trip to the United States, Edgar Hoover sent almost all the FBI agents to participate in Khrushchev's defense work. This is the first time that the United States has used so much manpower to protect a foreign head of state, and ironically, the object of defense is the leader of the Soviet Union, the greatest enemy of the United States.
Edgar Hoover picked up the phone and gave detailed instructions to the heads of the various departments for half an hour, and tried their best to protect Khrushchev. As we all know, guns are legal in the United States, and there are countless people who want to make a big news! Before Khrushchev came to the United States, Sherepin, who was far away in Moscow, had already said that as long as someone assassinated Khrushchev, even if it was unsuccessful, a nuclear war was inevitable, and Edgar Hoover certainly did not believe in Sherepin's intimidation. But today, the rival of Nixon, the youngest vice chairman of the KGB, also reached Edgar Hoover.
First, the FBI estimated that at least 25,000 Americans wanted to kill Khrushchev during his visit to the United States, and second, the Soviet security apparatus, the notoriously feared KGB, had very bluntly informed their American partners that even an unsuccessful assassination of Khrushchev could trigger a Soviet nuclear attack on the United States.
Compared with Sherepin's threat of nuclear war, Serov was much more honest, and once Khrushchev was assassinated, the entire U.S. Senate funeral speech sounded more sincere, and Edgar Hoover couldn't help but be cautious under all kinds of threats.
Edgar Hoover knew that there were many people secretly resentful of him, but one thing he had a clear conscience was that he was the defender of the United States of America, and it was naturally part of his duty not to put the country in danger.
The next day, Serov woke up early in the morning and was still doing the same work as yesterday, and since he was heading to New York today, Serov took a more rigorous preparation, and in addition to being more energetic, two guards had bags on their backs, one with instruments for checking for bombs, and the other was even more exaggerated! It was an instrument used to detect radioactive materials to prevent someone from using radioactive materials to assassinate Khrushchev.
"Look at these American people, they are all here to see if the Soviet leader is a devil!" Khrushchev waved his hand and said to the entourage behind him, in addition to Khrushchev and his wife, there was also Khrushchev's official US tour guide, Henry Lodge, who had just talked to the poor guide through an interpreter about the prospect of nuclear war before coming to New York.
"At least a lot of FBI people are mixed in, and the ratio is about fifty to one!" Serov calmly watched the movement in the crowd, looking for a figure who looked like an agent. The difference between the United States and the Soviet Union can be seen here: when Nixon visited the Soviet Union, the Soviet security personnel were all soldiers wearing KGB uniforms, while this time the Americans arranged for them to be plainclothes spies.
"Yuri, in fact, it's better for us to pretend that we don't know anything about this kind of scene, and don't learn from Nixon's rude guy!" Khrushchev was still waving his hand with a natural smile on his face. But there was a clear dissatisfaction with Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union.
"Got the first secretary!" Serov nodded, who said that the United States would not play the trick of welcoming foreign leaders through the middle of the road, but the United States could not play through the government, as long as it was guided by the newspapers, and it was completely the same scene as the Soviet Union welcoming foreign leaders.
Khrushchev's motorcade did not linger in the crowd for long, much to Serov's relief. After looking at today's itinerary, he immediately arranged for personnel to carry testing equipment into the dinner place, and then followed the Khrushchev couple into the US city government.
"Yuri, don't be so nervous, the Americans won't assassinate me so stupidly! They know what the consequences are! Looking at Serov, who used instruments to detect toxic substances, Khrushchev was also very helpless, and finally Serov confirmed that there was no problem before letting Khrushchev sit down.
Serov did not at all estimate the feelings of the New York City government and some of the elites present, grinning and saying with an unprecedented seriousness, "Comrade First Secretary, I have never doubted the intelligence of the US government and the elites!" America's elites are a great enemy and a respected opponent for us! But personally, the people who absolutely cannot be trusted are the masses of the American people, and the American people are completely representative products of low intelligence, these people are terrible ignorance, they don't know anything about things outside the United States, they don't know some very simple common sense at all! ”
Serov's words were addressed to Khrushchev, but they made some of the elites present change color, and some people on the spot said angrily, "This is a land of freedom, and the people have the right to express their attitude!" ”
"But if it is expressed by means of assassination, it may invite the coming of nuclear bombs!" Serov turned around without flinching, squinted at the group of well-dressed guys and said, "If it was the Soviet Union, I could reason with the people, and even if the people did not welcome the Americans, they would maintain a peaceful attitude, because the people know what kind of attitude is best for the country!" To be honest, from the perspective of the broad masses of the people, the ordinary people of the United States are more like a group of ignorant and fearless potential mobs, which has to do with the elite education model that you adopt in the United States, otherwise the quality of Americans would not be so poor......"
"Know the protest but don't know why, express your opinion by shouting slogans! The American people are also really pitiful, they don't know what quality is at all! Serov went around the bush for a long time, but in fact he wanted to say one thing to these elites, Americans have poor quality and low IQ!
