Chapter 664: End of Visit
"But we turned out to be Soviets, just detained in Cuba, Castro sent us to the United States, and also arranged for us to be Cuban, without our consent, at that time Cuban soldiers had guns, we had no choice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Another woman who had evolved into a Russian aunt continued, "This is unreasonable, so it makes sense for us to return home." ”
"The Soviet Union bears international responsibility to Cuba, since it is Comrade Castro's decision, no matter what the consequences are, the Soviet Union will bear it, take your case as an example, the Soviet Union has already suffered the condemnation of the American media at that time, that is the price paid by the Soviet Union, we choose to stand with the Cuban comrades, so we cannot accept your application to return home."
Serov scraped his nails with a Damascus steel knife and said in a slow tone, "When the general secretary visited recently, President Nixon said that you didn't hear it, we have allies, and we must be responsible for them. ”
Another president took out President Nixon's remarks and blocked the mouths of these American reporters, and the American reporters on one side looked at each other a few times, and they all shook their heads, feeling that they could not refute this matter.
This Soviet General Political Commissar often speaks of the remarks of the President of the United States, and they cannot give full play to their usual sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and they cannot always say that what Kennedy and Nixon said is wrong, and these remarks are very positive words. If the Soviets say they can mess around, but if the President of the United States says it, it's not good to beat themselves up......
"Chairman Serov, it's not just a question of allies, it's about these people being sent to the United States against their will, and the USSR, as the homeland of these people, should take them back." A rather attractive female reporter said in a seductive voice. This woman's face is average, Americans are slightly ugly among whites, but the size of this chest is a little scary, I haven't heard how strong the United States is in this area, isn't Russia the biggest in later generations?
Hey? Silica gel! Serov, who glanced at the female reporter a few times, instantly concluded that this woman's ball was not real and too round. Serov, who is the controller of several film and television bases, is definitely a member treatment, and he has seen many films in his department, and he can tell the difference between natural and artificial at a glance.
Silicone women have no human rights, Serov naturally did not change his face and continued to look like a dog's sense of justice, and said as if his international responsibility was greater than the sky, "This will make our Cuban friends dissatisfied, the Soviet Union cannot do this, and these people will not be able to continue to adapt to work when they return to China, which will cause unemployment in the Soviet Union, and we can't do this." ”
"Aren't they just some of the unemployed? Chairman Serov, we in the United States also have a lot of unemployed, and some of the unemployed contribute to the competitiveness of the USSR. The female reporter continued to ask, feeling that the Soviet man in front of her was avoiding the important and trivial.
"Seven percent of the unemployed in the United States are you, the United States, and we in the Soviet Union have no unemployed!" Speaking of this, Serov's eyes narrowed, and he said funny, "Don't you know that socialist countries do not allow the existence of unemployed? In the countries of Eastern Europe, including the USSR, unemployment is zero ......"
This sentence caused a wave of consternation, not inside the embassy, but outside the embassy to watch the lively Americans, because Serov understands English, so when talking to American journalists, it is in English, so that many Americans can understand.
"Hey, is that Soviet guy telling the truth?" Some of the onlookers asked the Soviets who wanted to return home, and many of them were dressed like people, and they were eager to ask questions that were relevant to them.
"Of course it's true, otherwise why should we return to China, look at your country like this, bad security, bad economy, far less stable than our motherland." The petitioner who was questioned looked reluctant and made an expression that you would not bother me with you, and this angry attitude was even more interesting to the Americans, and there was no unemployment rate in the Soviet Union? How can it be?
Many Americans don't know anything about the Soviet Union, they know what the American rulers let them know, such as the impression that they can't move freely like the United States, the Great Purge, and have no human rights. As for the merits of the USSR, how could they possibly preach the merits of their enemies? Even if I knew my mistakes and borrowed the way to improve from the Soviet Union, I would not tell ordinary people that I was inspired by the Soviet Union, but would say that I was a great American.
Unfortunately, Serov knew about this situation, and Serov, who was fond of the Internet in later generations, was shocked by the degree of idiocy of Americans, and he didn't know a lot of common sense, especially history and geography, which even children know, and Americans didn't know about it, and at that time he knew that American education must be very shameless.
It is now 1973, the United States is at the peak of its anti-war state, and the Americans do not believe everything the US government says at this time, and the Soviet Union is getting stronger and stronger, this is the time when the American people have the least confidence.
"You Americans must know that the situation in the Soviet Union is different from yours, and a large part of our state spending is welfare spending, and in this case, water and electricity are free, housing is free, maternity bonuses are available, and goods are cheap, how can I get these people to return home? This can be a big burden. Serov has always believed that if there are financial reasons for the Soviet Union's insistence, only half of it is the high military spending, and the other half is public welfare spending.
In fact, in the era when the Soviet Union implemented a policy of giving priority to heavy industry and low-income and low-consumption, the economy did not collapse. Under socialism, it is very dangerous to maintain an economic structure with heavy industry and military industry as the center of gravity and maintain high welfare at the same time, and the Soviet Union will not collapse in another 50 years if welfare spending is cut and the arms race continues.
"Of course, I didn't say death, the Soviet Union will not take them back, but they can apply at the Soviet embassy, just like many foreigners who immigrated to the Soviet Union, prove their worth, join our construction wave, and we will naturally approve him to enter the Soviet Union." In the end, Serov still did not completely cut off the hope of these petitioners, but it was basically the same, and only one percent of these people would probably return to their home country, and the rest would be goodbye.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, its socialist economic construction reached a very high level, perhaps with the help of high oil prices as it is now, or perhaps by relying on a relatively relaxed economic environment, it created a prosperous economy for more than 20 years, high national welfare, almost non-existent unemployment, a strong ruble, a happy life for the people, and material shortages, but far less serious than ordinary countries.
As for now, the Soviet Union is stronger than it was historically, has more countries to help, and has solved a lot of problems that can only be solved with tropical countries as allies, at least after the discoloration of Indonesia, the Soviet Union has never lacked rubber, and there is no shortage of steel itself, so there has been a huge development in the automobile industry.
In the end, Serov did not disappoint the Eastern European countries that were waving his flag, and rejected the request of these people to return to their country. If you want to join the Soviet Union, you can, but you must go through the embassy of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and there is no other way to go back, and if you want to smuggle in, you can ask the border guards of the KGB of the Soviet Union if you agree.
"The Americans are simply too easy to deceive, there is absolutely a problem with education in this country, do you really think that we are eating grass naked and fighting against them? No common sense at all! After the meeting, Serov looked down on the intelligence of the United States and said something like this to Dobrynin, "Also, don't show me American newspapers, especially those that write about me, I don't want to see Americans scold me ......"
He didn't know that although the scolding was still the same, but from now on the Soviet embassy really ushered in a wave of applications for immigration, originally within a year the vast majority of people were Soviets who wanted to return home, but after the outbreak of the oil crisis, there was an instant wave of Americans immigrating to the Soviet Union, as if the Great Depression era was repeated.
Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko signed nine agreements and protocols with the United States, including the "Basic Principles for Negotiations on the Further Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms," the "US-Soviet Agreement on the Prevention of Nuclear War," the "Soviet-American General Agreement on Contact, Exchange, and Cooperation," the "Soviet-American Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy," the "Soviet-American Agreement on Agriculture," the "US-Soviet Agreement on World Ocean Research," the "US-Soviet Transport Agreement," the "Soviet-American Income Tax Treaty," and the "Soviet-American Protocol on Trade Consultations."
On the 24th, the last day of Brezhnev's visit to the United States, the United States and the Soviet Union issued a joint communiqué in which they said some nonsense without nourishment, and there was only one thing of real value in it, that relations between the two countries were based on peaceful coexistence and equal security. This sentence shows that for the first time since the post-war period, the United States recognized the Soviet Union as a country completely equal to itself.
The Stalinist era was closed in the face of US encirclement, the Khrushchev era of raising the stick of nuclear blackmail to threaten the United States to respect the Soviet Union, and during the Brezhnev administration, the United States openly recognized the Soviet Union as a superpower like itself.
"Are we going to be on an equal footing with them? Why should Americans be on an equal footing with us, give me ten years, and I can let the world know who is the country that really walks with justice. On the special plane back home, Serov returned to his big mouth, and at this time he did not need to disguise himself as a harmless animal.
"Don't worry, if you have this opportunity." Brezhnev said happily that he was very satisfied with the visit. Although there was some unpleasantness because of the affairs of the Soviet embassy, the ability of the General Political Commissar to deal with the aftermath was not bad, and the effects of the incident were calmed down.
But after returning home, Brezhnev couldn't laugh anymore, and when he heard Kirilenko's report, he said for a long time, "Shurik's trick is very difficult, and if I don't agree, it may be considered that I am suppressing the other two departments." (To be continued.) )
