Chapter 180: European Focus

"I myself have never doubted the greatness of socialist construction, neither the coexistence of the United States nor the Soviet Union is a reason for me to struggle, my work has only one purpose, to eliminate the United States, the center of capitalism! In order to achieve this goal, I can be friends with anyone, whether it is the generals in Africa, the national leaders of the Arab countries, the communist comrades in Europe, or even the Trotskyists in South America, as long as we win, they are all communists, and if we lose, not only will we lose an ideal, but the whole country and even the entire socialist camp will lose! Serov said in a very abrupt tone, "To put it mildly, the billion people of the entire socialist camp may pay a huge price for our defeat......

"The two extremes of friend and foe cannot coexist peacefully!" Andropov summed up Serov's words very simply and understandably.

The two extremes of friend and foe cannot coexist peacefully? Valya, who had been listening to the men's conversation, had her eyes lit up, savoring what she had heard today, if she had not been Serov's wife, it would have been impossible for him to hear this conversation between the KGB and the head of the Central Liaison Department, and now she also understood what her husband meant, and the minister in front of her, who was responsible for liaising with the Communist Party all over the world, was a person that her husband valued or feared very much.

"Comrade Serov, you are a person with ideals, and I feel very honored to have a friend like you!" Andropov stretched out his hand and shook hands with Serov and said, "Our ideals may fade a little with the passage of time, but no one can fundamentally question him, as long as there is a slight adjustment, there is no reason to lose to capitalism, even if they are indeed stronger than our power, but I believe that this is only temporary......"

"From the moment I entered the KGB, I faced countless enemies, both domestic and foreign, nationalists, anti-Soviets, imperialists, renegades! But these people are not in my eyes! If one day I die. I hope that these enemies of the Soviets will not be sad, because for one day I live, none of them will live! Serov slowly made Andropov understand his meaning word by word, and then said, "I wanted to establish friendship with you for a long time, and it didn't mean that Sherepin. As a like-minded comrade, I hope that we are friends on behalf of myself! ”

"Although Shelepin is the chairman of the KGB, in fact, I can see that the reason why the large-scale airborne landing of Komsomol cadres into the KGB did not produce fluctuations has a lot to do with your existence! It is not unreasonable for someone to say that you are the reserve chairman, but only Sherepin can trust a man who is only in his thirties, General Serov, you are lucky! Andropov did not say this to defect to Sherepin. In fact, Sherepin and himself are cadres of the same level, they were both from the Komsomol a long time ago, and Andropov was willing to become friends with Serov, but he would definitely not throw himself under the wing of Shelepin.

The conversation between Serov and Andropov was as long as the conversation between Mikoyan and Parimiro Torriati, and through a stepping stone called the ideal, Serov and Andropov, the general secretary of the Soviet Union who was born in the KGB, established a personal friendship! When I returned to the Italian Prime Minister's Office from the outside again. Mikoyan and Parimiro Torriatti were in high spirits, and Mikoyan was the most sensible person in the Soviet leadership. There is a metaphor that may not be particularly appropriate, a leaf does not touch a leaf in a thousand flowers, but Mikoyan is such a person that he can talk to the leader of any country.

"Comrade Prime Minister, Vice Chairman Serov is one of the best young cadres in our Soviet Union, and this time he led a delegation to Italy to discuss cooperation with you. I'm going to let you support the Soviet Union, hehe......" Mikoyan's eyes were very good, and he immediately saw Andropov and Serov coming in, so the two became the topic of conversation between the two bigwigs.

"Comrade Andropov, we met a long time ago, as for Comrade Serov. I know better about his abilities! Parimiro Toriotti was well aware of how difficult it was for the Italian Communist Party to come to power, and was deeply impressed by Serov, who was ambassador in Italy at the time.

The delegation of the Soviet Ministry of Light Industry and Maritime Transport brought by Serov and the negotiations with the Italian ministries had actually begun, and after the two sides had made preliminary contacts, it was Serov's turn to come forward to negotiate with the ministers of the Italian ministries, and the leaders of various state-owned enterprises and departments under the chairman of the Italian Council of Ministers were currently mostly occupied by the Communists and Socialists.

After all, it is the Italian Communist Party that has formed a government, and the Catholic Democratic Party is in opposition, but the Catholic Democratic Party can still form a broad counterbalance, and the United States has spent a lot of money to maintain the balance of power in Italian politics, even if Italy is temporarily in the hands of the socialists, they still hope to regain Italy one day, and the position of this country is extremely important.

In a sense, this kind of mutual checks and balances is indeed a little easier than the Soviet Union's set of rules and balances to eradicate corruption, but it is only a little easier, not every country is like the United States, which claims to be a country to the outside world, but in fact it is a group company dressed in the coat of the state, and the government is just a part-time worker! Generally, once the two parties in the country disagree, it is very easy to fall into a state of tearing, but unfortunately this possibility is the greatest, and few national partisan disputes can be controlled within the scope of not affecting the state.

Mikoyan agreed to attend the Rome Olympics a few days later, and Parimiro Toriotti was very grateful for this, in fact, not only himself, but also the socialist camp was very face-saving, and each country sent its own Central Committee secretary, or vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, or the second or third person to attend the Rome Olympics, and Paremiro Torriati has been receiving guests in this regard for the past few days, and yesterday he also received news that the number one person in the GDR, ****** Ulbrich, was also preparing to attend the Rome Olympics.

In addition to these socialist countries, the Communist Party of France, the Communist Party of Greece, the Communist Party of Great Britain, and the Communist Party of Japan also sent representatives, and it was like a proletarian event! Serov of other countries did not know, at least he did not know why the Japanese Communist Party came to join in the fun, but these European Communist Parties were instigated by the First General Bureau.

The kind of attachment between the two made Serov a little unbearable, did the friendship of the proletariat have to be expressed in such a sensual way? Fortunately, there was no kiss from Brezhnev, so he really couldn't stand it.

Sending Mikoyan and Andropov to the hotel arranged by Italy, Serov also stayed to take a look at the surrounding situation, now he has a lot of people in his hands, and there is a steady stream of support forces coming from the country, so it is rare to engage in espionage activities in such a bright light, and some new spy equipment newly put into production by the General Administration of Technology will also complete the first war in Italy, with the theme of peace in the Olympic Games, Serov also has to contribute to peace, stealing things to bring the strength of the Soviet Union and the United States closer is to contribute to peace.

"Yuri, do you think you will have a hard time negotiating with Italy this time?" When he arrived at the hotel, Mikoyan asked with interest.

"No, the things that some Italians value are not very important to the Soviet Union, we and Italy are still very complementary, for example, the shipbuilding industry Italy has to be subject to competition from Spain, and Spain's cost is low, Italy will not flinch in order to keep its shipbuilding industry, and will definitely fight for our distant-water fishing boat orders! As for the cost, with the presence of our KGB, the Motherland will definitely not lose money, which can be assured! "Serov is still so confident in front of Mikoyan that he doesn't even want to give benefits? Even if the Italian Communist Party did not agree, the capitalists who lived on orders did not. In front of money, capitalists kneel faster than anyone else.

"I heard old Ivan say that he is still very satisfied with your growth, your achievements today make him very happy, and your parents should be very proud if they live to this day!" Mikoyan looked at Serov approvingly and said. ,

"Uncle Bagla Miyan complimented! If Uncle Mikoyan returns to Moscow, please help me apologize to Uncle Baghera Miyan, I am not in the country for a long time of the year and cannot always go to see him! "It turned out that Mikoyan was an old friend of Baghra Miyan, and Serov suddenly remembered that Mikoyan was also Armenian, and it seems that they had known each other for a long time! In fact, compared to the two of them, there is also Babajanyan, who is now the commander of the Ozad Military District, and Marshal Isakov is also Armenian.

Although it's more unpleasant to call uncle again, people are! For a leader like Mikoyan, who is invincible in his ability to stand in line, Serov must learn more, at least how to unite the majority, otherwise he will fall into an isolated position.

After staying here for a while, Serov left, and in the following days Serov continued to recruit KGB agents who came to see the Olympics in China, and let them wander around Italy, and go to see any places of interest in person, and with the influx of people in the Soviet Union, the KGB was also stepping up its own work! The KGB's job has always been to listen to secrets.

"If you look at it only from the past few years, some people believe that Italy is a semi-socialist country! But until the next election, it's hard to say! Serov and Andropov also wandered aimlessly through the streets of Rome, where communist symbols were everywhere, completely different from the last time Serov was in Italy.

As the Olympic Games approached, the leaders of many countries rushed from home to attend the opening ceremony of the Rome Olympic Games, and Italian Prime Minister Paremi Rotoriatti became the busiest person, constantly receiving the leaders of various countries! Italy, which includes dozens of general secretaries of communist parties, has the feeling of being the stars holding the moon, and it is simply the focus of Europe, and the Italians have never known that they have such great influence.

Three days after Mikoyan arrived in Rome, the US Secretary of State also came to Rome, and the leaders of the two camps came in large numbers, and the newspapers in Rome reported every day where the big men had come to Rome.

"I guess that's my credit!" Serov, who had already put the Soviet-Italian Friendship Association in his pocket, thought of all this. (To be continued.) )
