Chapter 91: Hoover
It's not a big deal, it's just a daily pretence. There's nothing to lose by pretending, but it's very suspicious to think that Kennedy was able to defeat Nixon, who had just made a name for himself through the kitchen debate. If Serov remembers correctly, the Kennedy and Nixon races were the closest votes in American history. Of course, Kennedy quickly gained popularity after coming to power, and on the other hand, Kennedy was indeed suspected of cheating on the election alone.
"It seems that Director Serov thinks he knows everything and is omnipotent, but this is the United States! Mr. Director seems to be a little arrogant! Nixon was unmoved on the surface, but there was some uncontrollable nervousness in his heart, mainly because Serov had already said something earlier that no one knew, which gave Nixon a preconceived impression that the Soviet Union had a secret and very powerful intelligence network in the United States.
"It's the same everywhere, as long as you can't run out of the earth! The invisible thing of national borders is equivalent to non-existence for us! Serov lowered his head and looked at his leather shoes and said, "I won't make boring threats like some colleagues in China, but the United States had better sort out the security of the places where the first secretary passed by!" As some of my colleagues have said, even another unsuccessful assassination will lead to a nuclear war, which is naturally impossible! But it's really not a problem at all to get rid of a group of so-called senators! ”
"Listen to me! Also, since the last time I received Mr. Nixon, I have been promoted, and now I am the deputy chairman of the KGB......" Serov stopped Nixon's retort, "Security work like ours is not bottomless, and I myself will not break the unspoken rules to assassinate enemy politicians!" I am also a person who abides by the rules, but don't think that we are afraid, if we really use unconventional means to solve problems without a bottom line, you Americans will definitely be the first to be unbearable, because the KGB's power is much stronger than your CIA and FBI! ”
"Are you showing that you play by the rules, or are you bragging about your department?" Nixon had regained his self-confidence, and after returning from the Soviet Union, Nixon was indeed widely praised, and the initiative that Serov had lost when he said he would run for president in defeat had returned.
Serov knew that Nixon still didn't take JFK seriously in the end, and that was better! After losing, there may be another more force to assassinate Kennedy, and if Kennedy is dead, he can also make an article.
"Although the KGB is much weaker than it was ten years ago, it is undoubtedly the number one in the world! Plus there's the world's second GRU, and I'm telling the truth! Not boasting at all! Serov shook his head helplessly and said, "People are always like this, no one believes when they tell the truth!" Goodbye, future Mr. President......"
Just said that Nixon would lose, and called Nixon the future Mr. President, completely made Nixon regard Serov's words just now as a brag for no reason, and there was no need to respond to this kind of nonsense.
The conversation between the two was actually only a few minutes, and Serov, who had stimulated Nixon, once again caught up with the pace of the Khrushchevs, and stood behind Nixon and Eisenhower with a few guards, "I came to the United States today to thank President Eisenhower for his hospitality, so I specially brought a gift!" After Khrushchev finished speaking, Serov clapped his hands and the guard behind him took out the gift from Khrushchev's mouth.
It was a model of a lunar exploration satellite, just the day before Khrushchev arrived in Washington, this satellite had just successfully begun its journey to the moon, needless to say, this major achievement of the Soviet Union was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Americans, it was like the Soviets "planted" a flag on the moon, on which it was written, the Soviet Union, September 1959, the slogan was short, but it symbolized the indelible fact.
Serov clearly sensed Eisenhower's anger, but a politician is a politician, and on the surface, he didn't let anyone see the mood fluctuations, but he didn't include Serov, who had abnormal brain waves.
"Thank you, Mr. Khrushchev, for the gift, lo and behold, this is the crystallization of human technology! This represents the shackles of gravity that humanity has gotten out of the grip of gravity! Eisenhower naturally exclaimed.
Serov looked at the insincere performance and said secretly, "Politicians are really tired!" "Compared to Anna Stasiana's tireless translation, Serov is still very happy, and he only needs to play the role of the telephone pole there. As for the verbal quarrel between the two sides, it may be the relationship between the first day of meeting, and they are both more subtle.
After the meeting and the banquet, Serov escorted the Khrushchev couple and Foreign Minister Gromyko back to the hotel where they were staying, Serov walked in front of the hotel and asked the Khrushchev couple to go to the next room first, and then ordered the agents next to him, "Clean up the room of the first secretary and the foreign minister first to see if there are no eavesdropping equipment!" ”
The people in front of him were men and women, three were from the Eighth Directorate of Communications Administration, and two were agents of the Directorate General of Technology Administration. In the area of electronic surveillance, there is still overlap within the KGB, mainly the Seventh and Eighth Directorates, and the Technical Management Directorate, of which the Seventh Directorate is a technical surveillance investigation, which is useless in the United States, so this time it was followed by agents of the two Directorates, who were anti-technical surveillance.
"Yuri, it is unlikely that the Americans will be spying in this situation!" Gromyko said with a smile.
"For your safety, it's better to be careful!" Serov said in a low voice, and after a while several agents came back to say that there was no problem, Serov arranged the guards in several surrounding rooms, and then escorted the Khrushchev couple and Gromyko back to their rooms, and said, "Comrade First Secretary, Comrade Foreign Minister, I am responsible for your safety, I hope you can cooperate with my work!" ”
Khrushchev patted Serov on the shoulder and said, "Yuri, take it easy!" It may still be a matter of youth, and it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous when you come out for the first time, so go back to your room and sleep well! Otherwise, you may be exhausted when you return home in ten days! ”
"Got it, Comrade First Secretary, rest early!" Serov closed the door and exited without changing his face, and he could still hear Khrushchev say to his wife that young people are stressed. Snorting, Serov returned to his room, he had even seen the big cities fifty years later, what was there to be nervous about seeing these rags in the United States now?
Serov, who was lying on the bed, pinched the button-sized bugging device with two fingers and looked at it for a while, and then said to the agent who found it, "Put it away, go back to China and hand it over to the General Administration of Technology!" It is all the equipment of the same industry, study whether there is any reference meaning, and keep a person in each room in a state of wakefulness and take turns to rest! That's it, let's go rest......"
At this time, in the building of the U.S. Department of Justice, an old man with eyes and a stiff face was reading the investigation report, and the difference in his age was a pair of sharp eyes, "Dulles has lost to such a little guy twice?" What a shame! Edgar Hoover commented disdainfully on the director of the CIA.
[I immediately pushed ......]
