No one could solve the problems of the USSR, but the entire socialist camp was able to solve the problems of Portugal. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Today's Serov is a firefighter, and he no longer has to lead the KGB to solve problems by violent means. It is entirely possible to compensate for it by the Comintern by rallying the forces of the whole camp and individually against a particularly important ally.

Of course, this is the general secretary's boasting, and this time it is mainly China's strength that is needed. But this does not mean that the Soviet Union is not important, and China is not capable of calling on the entire camp. The wave of protests was quelled, and while the Comintern Congress had not yet dispersed, the general secretary showed his fox's tail and made a not too excessive demand. Portugal joins the Warsaw Pact ......

As soon as the news spread, not only Reagan jumped out to threaten, but even French President François Mitterrand came out to protest that once Portugal officially entered the Warsaw Pact system, NATO would not be mixed up at all. Once the war starts, it is a two-sided attack.

The opposition is unprecedentedly strong, and there have even been statements that it is necessary to first use military means to solve the Portuguese problem and avoid the worries behind NATO. Serov absolutely did not believe this, because he was not gone yet. NATO doesn't have the guts to kill him here, and the current problem doesn't have to be solved with a world war.

"How do you feel, General Secretary?" Serbitsky's happiness was undisguised, he himself opposed Portugal's accession to the Warsaw Pact, and he was able to see the backlash from Brezhnev's cunning. This is not something that some big spy leader can pass with a slap on the brain, this is Lisbon, not Moscow.

"Not good!" Serov replied without blushing and without a beating heart, how is it possible to expect Khrushchev's successors to recognize the mistake? If something is wrong, it is certainly not the general secretary's mistake, but a matter of execution. The root of the problem? Serov glanced at his in-laws, the first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee! The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that a certain important cadre is not closely united under the leadership of the Central Committee with Comrade Serov at the core.

"Even if Portugal can't enter the Warsaw Pact, I will get NATO to officially guarantee that it will not subvert Portugal." The original intention of pulling Portugal into the Warsaw Pact was that Serov felt that Portugal could be subverted. Although the wave of protests has subsided for the time being, no one can guarantee that there will be no next time, and if Portugal is internally unstable, it will not be invaded militarily.

Serov believed in the assurances and discipline of previous US presidents, and the only one he did not believe in was the current US president, Ronald Reagan. Reagan did too many things that an American president could not do, and as he said, Reagan's style should have been an important cadre of the Soviet Union, or even the chairman of the KGB, not the president of the United States.

"Reagan would never make such a guarantee, and if he did, he would not carry it out." Shcherbitsky said without being salty.

"So, I'm going to talk to France and let the United States get out of the way." Serov snorted coldly, "Reagan thought I would beg him, dreaming, I would rather go to Siberia to dig potatoes." "You can talk about anything, but you can't talk about taking the initiative to show weakness.

Reagan's reputation in the socialist camp has been buried by Serov darker than fungus, just like his own reputation in Europe and the United States.

The look of surprise on Shcherbitsky's face flickered, and then he nodded silently, this cannot be said to be a solution. France is in a peculiar state in NATO, there are no US troops stationed in the country, and it does not participate in NATO's joint operations and performances. But nominally a member of NATO, just as Romania was in the Warsaw Pact for a time. It belongs to the kind that listens to the tune and does not listen to the propaganda.

In fact, it is a little more excessive than Romania, but it doesn't matter, France is still a permanent member of the United Nations after all, a well-known African policeman, and to be honest, France is an important weight to balance the two major military blocs. So far, the Soviet Union has respected France's influence, and relations between the two countries have been okay.

The Soviet Union did not respond to the US State Department's warning, which fully reflected the rigidity of the Soviet Union. It's a pity that the United States was not fooled and recognized that this was the Soviet Union's disrespect for the United States. Serov is embarrassed, even if it's true, don't say it.

The General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who was still in Lisbon, used his last time to help Portugal stabilize the situation, and the Soviet Foreign Ministry had already communicated with the French President about the visit of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to France. As soon as France responds, it will be made to Paris as soon as possible.

At present, the aftermath of the Congress of the Communist International of the Soviet Union defused the wave of protests in Portugal, and many European countries were rumored that the Soviet Union was going to absorb Portugal into the Warsaw Pact, and in this case, France announced the news of the visit of the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to France. It immediately attracted the attention of the whole world, and the reception of the USSR by France in this situation also caused a lot of speculation in both camps.

Under this general environment and the speculation of many countries, the special plane of Serov, general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and Serbitsky, first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, slowly landed at the Paris International Airport in France. Start of an official visit to France.

At the moment of stepping off the plane, Serov and Shcherbitsky greeted French President François Mitterrand and the general secretary of the Communist Party of the great powers and president of the Grand National Assembly, Georges Fernandes. Marshall shook hands amicably. The two sides maintained a cautious amigo.

Serov said that during his visit, he would visit the site of the Paris Commune. At the same time, he praised the work of the French Socialist Party and the French Communist Party, "The USSR has never doubted the development and originality of French socialism!" In an interview with French reporters, Serov did not hesitate to affirm France's achievements, "France is indivisible, separating church and state, democratic, socialist republic, which is different from the Soviet Union, but there is no essential difference." ”

There is no doubt that France is a socialist country, Serov's words are clearly written in the French Constitution, and no one can say that what he said is wrong.

A Portuguese question, of course, is not worth coming to Paris for the two giants of the Soviet Union, and the main thing to talk about is the question between the Soviet Union and France, and the Portuguese question is just an appetizing concoction in it. There is still a common language between social-imperialism and usury imperialism, and there are historical reasons for this, as well as practical reasons.

The friendship between the Soviets and France needed to be maintained by the Federal Republic of Germany. Serov began by emphasizing the close relationship between Russia and France from history, the joint pit of Germany from the First World War to the Second World War, and the advantages of the two countries' common positions on certain issues, such as the containment of the Federal Republic of Germany.

France and Russia have always looked at each other differently because there is a Germany between them. Who made the Germans grow a mocking face in Europe? Every time something happens, you can often see that the natural enemies on both sides of your east and west are already side by side, holding hands and waiting for you.

Even if it is the Cold War, the confrontation between the two major military blocs, France shouts the Franco-German reconciliation to defend Europe together, and it is also guarding against the Federal Republic of Germany, and any organization needs to have a say. Even if the strength of the two countries is about the same, there must be a country that is more reasonable, and the French believe that this country should be France.

But the current trend of development in the Federal Republic of Germany seems to be a little bit stronger than in France. If the Soviet Union on the other side of the Iron Curtain comes out from time to time to knock the Federal Republic of Germany, as long as it is not excessive, France is very willing to see it happen, and recalling history has allowed both sides to make a good start.

"The Soviet Union saw very clearly the special position of France in NATO, so in the current situation we would like France to declare the protection of Portugal's neutral status and put an end to the threat of some intervening forces. Of course, by the intervening forces, a large part of them also includes you, France. "In private conversations, leaders speak no different from ordinary people, friendly exchanges, cordial condolences, just the narration of ordinary people on the TV. Who would talk like that to a normal person?

The difference is only that Khrushchev is too straightforward, and Brezhnev is more subtle, and there is no essential difference.

"After all, we are still nominally part of NATO, so what good is it for us?" Mitterrand replied noncommittally, "Portugal also has French interests, and you know, the Soviet Internet terminal is there." ”

"So the Soviet Union will not sit idly by and watch Portugal be subverted, Portugal's geographical location is particularly important to our Soviet Union, and many submarine cables are in Portugal, and we will never sit idly by and watch our information be controlled by the enemy." Shcherbitsky also did not back down, saying, "We will not ask the Americans, but if France can help, we will reap the friendship of the Soviets." ”

Mitterrand nodded, lost in thought. At present, under the leadership of Reagan, the United States is structuring the same network all over the world, but it is too late, the Soviet Union has already completed the construction ahead of schedule, and the vast majority of the countries of the entire Eurasian continent and the vast majority of African countries have been absorbed by the Soviet Union.

The U.S. has lagged behind in its international network since its inception, and since Eurasia and Africa are centers of human activity, the U.S. has built a local area network of the Americas more than the former. If France had to choose one, of course, it would be more convenient for the Soviet international network.

Of course, Mitterrand could not have estimated the world in a few decades, but he could feel the importance of this thing. France wants to get involved, "It's not good!" Serov said that Portugal was concerned with the national security of the Soviet Union. ”

This is pure nonsense, the Soviet Union wanted France to come in, so that the international network developed by the United States would be a local area network. France plays a pivotal role in the European Union.
