Chapter Seventy-Three: Nixon
The two smiled tacitly, the reason why France can still maintain the face of a big country today and have a permanent seat in the United Nations is also thanks to Stalin who let the French go. Otherwise, why could the virtue of France being killed by Germany in World War II still appear as a victorious country after the war? It was not the Soviet Union that looked at the face of the Communist Party, the largest party in France, but the momentum of the French Communist Party after the war to a certain extent confused the Soviet decision-making organs, believing that the Soviet Union could win over France and stand with itself.
Although France has not become a socialist country as envisaged by the Soviet Union, it has also distanced itself from Britain and the United States to a certain extent, so the Soviet Union still regards Britain and the United States and France as two different groups in terms of specific attitudes. Although France also stands behind the United States and waving its flag and shouting, it is also shouting! Relations between the USSR and France were not as bad as they could have been. The Soviet Union would also like to see France make its voice heard.
"Where do you think it is more appropriate to arrange negotiations, but not in the USSR! Vienna? "Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky thought for a moment and felt that it was necessary to find a neutral place, neither the Soviet Union nor France proper, it was too eye-catching.
"Vienna can't, Austria is a neutral country! But espionage in Vienna was too rampant and too easy to expose! Serov looked like a contemplative and said, "At the junction of the GDR and Austria, we have chosen a small city as a place of contact, and let the Stasi take care of the defense!" I believe that there will be no problems, the specific time of the meeting is set after the Bucharest conference, and I will sneak back secretly with the comrades of the GDR, and let the French get ready in Vienna first, and then leave at any time! ”
"Okay, I'll arrange the specific things!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky stretched out his hand and high-fived Serov, and said curiously, "Yuri, are you ready to sign an agreement?" How much does it cost to knock it down? ”
"Four billion, as for the agreement? Haha......" Serov laughed as if he had encountered something rather funny, "how can such a thing leave evidence, I can only make a verbal agreement with them!" I won't sign a single piece of paper! ”
"It's your style not to sign an agreement, but isn't four billion a little less?" This answer was really not very satisfactory to Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, and this little money was not enough for the KGB to plan the operation.
"I'm talking about dollars! Okay, I'm leaving, and I'm going to arrange for the people of the General Directorate of Military Administration to go abroad to check the advisory group in the Arab region, I'm really busy these days! See you ...... free," Serov waved his hand and left the headquarters of the First Directorate, leaving Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
The ratio of the franc to the pound is decreasing every day, and now the value is not as good as the ruble, how can Serov buy and sell at a loss. If De Gaulle's policy of coming to power had not changed, it would certainly have reproduced the historical financial reform of 1960, when the exchange ratio between the new franc and the old franc was 1:100, and what was the use of the Soviet Union asking for a pile of waste paper? At this time, it is natural to ask for dollars.
Each of the KGB's main directorates has its own work, not to mention the first and second directorates, the two directorates are very busy every day, and Serov's recent plans include arranging for school graduates to be stationed in the four major clusters in Eastern Europe to enrich the garrison there, to inspect the Kazakh tank factory, to visit the Baiko ** space center, and to inspect the security system of the Myasishev Design Bureau. As for the agriculturists who will receive the Sudan back next month, ask about the current situation of corn in Sudan.
The Main Directorate of Traffic Management and the Main Directorate of Technical Administration were also busy, and here in Moscow Serov knew that the metro automation system was being tested, not to mention the transport system of the USSR as a whole. The General Directorate of the Secret Police and the General Directorate of Police cooperated on a daily basis to arrange security work for the Soviet leadership and at the same time to train military attachés in foreign embassies.
Even if some unimportant reports are stripped out, there are still so many documents in the General Administration of Military Administration that Serov is buried, "In the future, you can handle the reports below the division level of the military region by yourself, and the handling opinions will be handed over to me for approval!" The Red Navy and other branches of the armed forces do the same......" Serov thought to his division chiefs as he held a meeting, and since his return, the entire General Administration has become the busiest person in itself.
Until now, Serov has discovered a long-standing problem, that is, the General Directorate of Military Administration, as a new General Directorate, was assigned to the third position by Shelepin, and all the work was arranged by Serov alone, in fact, there are many things that other General Administrations have. For example, the Third General Directorate does not have a deputy director, let alone a deputy director, or even a first deputy director. Serov was alone as a lieutenant general, a group of colonels below, and a few major generals had just been promoted from Sherepin in May, when Serov was still working as a construction worker in Berlin......
Serov is fine with this every day at home, but once he leaves for a while like going to Berlin, the accumulated workload is enough to make Serov foam, "Take back the accumulated reports everywhere and give me your own opinions!" Serov put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his wrist with his left hand.
An hour later, Serov, who had finished strength training, returned to his office, looked at the already dark outside, directly turned on the lamp, and buried himself in a mountain of papers, "If this year's national model worker is not nominated by me, it will not be convincing at all, why are there so many reports at the military district level?" "The report of the national Red Army system of the Soviet Union, if not submitted to the Ministry of Defense, will be sent to the General Directorate of Military Administration, of course, so much in a few months, but Serov must also personally give instructions, because the General Directorate of Military Administration does not have cadres of the same level as him.
Originally, I wanted Isemimutny to lead the people of the secretariat in, but Serov gave up anyway, what if the secret was leaked?
After ten days, Serov finally extinguished the backlog of official duties, during this time he always remembered a moment in his hometown in his previous life, which can be used as a monologue about his current work, it was a small ** sports meeting, he ran home after participating in the sports meeting, and the first thing he did when he got home was to drink water, and my father asked me if I was tired!
"Why aren't you tired, I didn't spill a soak of urine and didn't drink a sip of water!" It's funny when I think about it now.
It's a pity that there is no time to rest now, Serov finished handling the work of the General Directorate, and after leaving the General Administration, he rushed to the exhibition hall of the US National Exposition without stopping, and Khrushchev will personally attend the opening of the US National Exposition, and Serov will stand next to the General Secretary in place of the directors of the Second and Fifth General Offices, and there must be no problems! First of all, it is necessary to come and examine the safety environment.
"Now it seems that your General Administration has arranged it very well, and I will tell Chairman Shelepin about the arrangement!" Serov, who turned around, didn't see any problems and said, "Who will host the United States at this US National Expo?" ”
"Nixon, like?" The commander of the secret police corps thought for a moment and said, who? Serov stiffened in place?
