Chapter 970: Busy Serov
Foreign ministers are very important to any country, and the saying that diplomacy is no small matter does not belong to any one country alone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe British Empire is like this now, isn't it still relying on diplomacy to join forces all over the world? And for the diplomats themselves, their greatest pursuit, of course, is to enjoy the thrill of making history.
When every diplomat is working, the names of Metternich and Bismarck flash in their minds. And Gromyko has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR for so many years, and his work in the general sense is not very effective, he is already a famous diplomat in the world, so the pursuit in his heart will be higher. If the Libyan hostage crisis and the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty can be resolved at the same time, Gromyko's name will be in both major events, and the sensational significance will be extraordinary.
Hubert in France? Védrina, too, had this pursuit, of course, he and Mitterrand were both Socialists, and did not have any special feelings for the Soviet Union, but as a tripartite between the United States, the Soviet Union, and France, they studied the influence of France in the two major events. Taking the initiative to balance the United States and the Soviet Union, and uniting other secondary powers, has been the national policy of France since Charles de Gaulle. France will not take sides either, but will consider the role played by France according to different things.
Maverick to defend his own interests, but also French Foreign Minister Hubert? Vedrina's considerations, Gromyko's advice, he listened to them, which was not bad for France, but all good for him personally.
The current situation is actually not difficult to analyze, the United States and the Soviet Union have the sincerity to solve the problem, which requires France to act as an intermediary to facilitate a compromise between the two countries. According to Verdrina, this is how good it is to show French influence.
"Yes, in fact, we have no reason to reject the decision of the Soviet Union, especially to avoid hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union, which is a matter of concern to all countries in the world, including us in France." Hubel? Verdrina replied noncommittally.
The stalemate of the Cold War-era bipolar alliance system also provided an excellent opportunity for France to exploit the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union for its own benefit. This is mainly because France, although a member of NATO, has withdrawn from NATO's overall military chain of command, so it can set its foreign policy according to its own needs.
"To put it simply, is it bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?" Serov, who received good news from Gromyko, was not surprised, this phrase is not a mockery of France, there are no national exceptions, all countries in the world are made up of human beings, and human beings are like that.
That's the rules in my favor and should be followed. What is not good for me is the bondage, and I have to find a way to break free. Take the matter of amending the constitution that Serov and Ligachev are now discussing, since the union republics do not have the right to independence, should the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics change its name? That's certainly ...... Don't change
Is the Soviet Union's one country, three votes to be retained? Keep it, of course! You know, once the constitution is amended, the votes of Ukraine and Belarus will be somewhat conspicuous. The name of the Union in question must be retained, if not for any reason.
The appearance of the big spies has always been so ugly, and the union republics cannot be independent, and it must be reflected in the constitution. The votes of Ukraine and Belarus are also to be retained? If there are good rules, they will be obeyed, and if they are not good, they will be abolished, who will not accept them? Come and fight the Soviet Union right away, any country has the right to declare war on the Soviet Union.
"Okay, the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be handed over to Comrade Gromyko, and we will continue!" Serov looked at Generals Chebrikov and Fedorchuk with his fingers crossed, and said, "The KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are currently continuing to advance the fight against inferior products, and I believe that it will not be difficult. General Chebrikov, the second phase of the Baia-Abyan railway has been completed, and the safety assessment will be completed immediately, which will greatly improve the transportation capacity of Siberia, and the national security of the Siberian region, which we have always needed to focus on, can finally be upgraded to another level. ”
Generals Chebrikov and Fedorchuk nodded, the quality of the products of the USSR itself, so to speak, was very extreme. If the same model of product is produced in different manufacturers, it may not be broken after 30 years of continuous use, and it will explode at the same time as it is used. This is also the original intention of the campaign against inferior products.
Serov's meaning is very simple, when there are large quantities of inferior products, they are digested locally. If local workers don't care about their New Year's benefits and become inferior products produced by themselves, it is best to find a way to correct them.
You make a good cake, you eat it. If you have to make a piece of, Serov will have to force you to eat it, and as for the second phase of the Baizer-Argentine railway, which has just been opened to traffic, it will cooperate with the regional road network to ease the problem of connecting Siberia with the European part of the Soviet Union, and the national highway project is still vetoed.
Recently, Serov also halted the Soviet Union's experiment with a maglev railway, which has no value for promotion and will only be put into operation in a few major cities, and approved the production of a new generation of laptops. Thanks to the KGB's decades of being a thief day after day, as well as the work of digging the bottom during the economic crisis, the local industry of the Soviet Union, supplemented by Western technology, is definitely much stronger than in history, and this does not mean how much steel, how much oil, how much coal, that kind of indicator the Soviet Union itself is above the United States.
"The comrades of the Planning Economy Committee said that the cost of the recent CD-ROM player is relatively high, and it is not suitable for immediate local promotion?" If Serov remembers correctly, the thing is called a VCD, "Since it cannot be put into production, it is better to contact the Italian side immediately, apply for a patent and then put it into production, and if it is very popular in Europe, it will be exported to domestic sales immediately." ”
Tikhonov, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, nodded that the relationship between Italy and the Soviet Union was very solid, mainly because of the emergence of many new technologies in the Soviet Union, often with Italy as the first place to promote them.
What Serov is doing now, to be honest, is to cut down some products that have invested a lot of money, but have not been seen in later generations. However, this definitely does not include military supplies, his workload is definitely greater than Reagan's, who gives him more power than Reagan, Reagan is not so busy as he is.
"As for the military aspect, the most recent model of the T80 will go into production immediately, this is the argument of the National Defense Committee." Serov sent a report to the authorities, and in accordance with Ministerial Decree No. 328 issued by the Ministry of Defense Industry of the USSR, the Molozov Design Bureau merged the 61st Design Bureau of the former Marishev plant, which developed heavy full-tracked heavy tractors and engineering vehicles based on them. At this point, the Morozov Design Bureau completed a major expansion of the scope of its research, and it did not only develop main battle tanks, but also extended its tentacles to all areas of military tracked vehicles.
The major design bureaus of the USSR seem to be a little more, but in order to avoid the loss of technical personnel. He really didn't dare to close it casually, what if there were some unknown secrets in that design bureau?
There will be no such order in the future, because next year Serov is ready to merge the Ministry of Defense Industry and put the National Defense Committee directly responsible, which is completely different from when he was the chairman of the KGB, the KGB's departments have always been in a state of expansion, and he is afraid that the KGB will not manage enough things, but the departments under the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, of course, the less the better. Maybe after he, the general secretary, leaves office, the Soviet security cadres will already be able to steal the beams and change the pillars.
Reagan was not wrong when he said that the Soviet Union was a police empire, and Serov, the head of the secret police and a big secret agent, was really ready to find a group for the Soviet cadres who could kill them at any time.
As for the restraint of the KGB's security cadre group, he was ready to let an international organization restrain it, and after his own death, the security cadre group of the province was lawless, and for the first time he felt that the Comintern should have some power to restrain the KGB in the future.
This will be said later, but the good news is that the highway connecting Iran and Iraq, starting from Baku, is progressing well and will be open to traffic before 1987. When the time comes, the Soviet troops withdrawn from the Northern Cluster will return to the Caucasus and can support the Iranian People's Party and the Iraqi Communist Government as long as necessary.
Leave the plan of the march and the speed of movement to the Ministry of Defense, and I believe that the Ministry of Defense of the USSR will come up with a very practical plan. Just like facing Western Europe, it can be said that the Soviet garrison in Eastern Europe can attack Western Europe according to the plan with their eyes closed. Germany's attack on France had only been in preparation for a few years, and the Soviet Union's plans to attack Western Europe had been in the works for decades. Where to advance the fastest, and where the rivers will cause obstacles, the USSR knew better than the Europeans themselves.
The chemical weapons of the Federal Republic of Germany have been secretly transferred several times, but they have not escaped the eyes of the KGB. From this point of view, the Germans are still very strict, and if they were to change to an Arab country, it is estimated that they will not change places for ten or eight years, waiting for the enemy to come and bomb.
After talking about all the problems, Serov took a long breath and poured himself a little poisonous chicken soup before calming down. Sometimes he feels that he has been charging for too long, and his heart will be anxious from time to time.
"I've been waiting for decades, and it's okay in two or three years." After imagining the scene of pushing the country of hope to mankind, the big spy who drank poisonous chicken soup returned to a good state.
"By the way, I forgot one thing." Serov picked up the phone and called Smolensk Square and said, "Tell Gaddafi that the Soviet Union will not sell him the atomic bomb and will not provide drawings, and relay my words to Gromyko." ”
Zurich was already preparing for a second meeting between Serov and Reagan, and he would not take the initiative to trouble Reagan at this time. A treaty on intermediate-range missiles is much more important than Libya, and he still can't look at that little money, and sooner or later the dollar will become waste paper.
