Soviet-German cooperation, of course, with a third of Germany. This was Serov's first step in untying the ropes of the GDR, which could tolerate that the GDR's economic aggregate was inferior to that of the Federal Republic of Germany, but it had to be based on a small population and a small territory, and it was completely intolerable for the per capita to lag behind the other side, especially since this mistake was the result of the Soviet Union's restriction of the GDR. If you look at the rest of the world, people don't know that many parts of the GDR were based on the unequal treatment of the Soviet Union, and they only see that the GDR was poor and the Federal Republic of Germany was rich.

By extension, capitalism is rich and socialism is poor. As for the various indicators of the socialist camp, which is closing the gap with the capitalist camp every year, sorry, I don't believe it! Besides, few people are willing to work hard to catch up with the gap, and if they have a choice, they would prefer to emigrate to a wealthy place, but usually this channel is very small, after all, capitalism has no obligation to be a grandfather, and nothing is wasted, right?

The meeting of the intelligence agencies of the Warsaw Pact countries was only an episode of the real event, and then the leaders of these countries would also arrive one after another, and according to Khrushchev's instructions, it was not appropriate for Andropov to receive all the delegations alone. After all, there are too many people who come, involving more than half of the countries in the world, and the number of participants is enough to tens of thousands.

"......" Serov, who received this incomplete list, was rather speechless. In fact, this list is not his, but Andropov himself is responsible, but he has to admit that the workload is somewhat larger.

"Comrade Serov, the Communist comrades of Western Europe will be entrusted to you to take charge!" Andropov was very grateful and held Serov's hand and did not let go. This makes the person concerned feel like he has fallen into a pit.

"Is it all for the people? Order of the First Secretary. Of course I'm going to carry out the ......" Serov slapped his swollen face and became fat, forcibly pulled out a smile, contacted Andropov himself, and forced himself to eat this task.

Actually, what is he thinking about me? In the end, Khrushchev suddenly remembered that Serov, who was keen to contact the European Communist Party, could share this work, and in view of Andropov's workload, he separated the task of receiving the European Communist Party from it and handed it to Serov.

The so-called Congress of the Communist Party and the Workers' Party of the Eighty-One Nations did not have any idea until he saw the list. But now it's different, and I'm sure the momentum of this conference will be particularly spectacular. If the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union could go in and visit, the U.S. mainland would certainly be another Soviet threat.

In the following days, Serov was busy with only one thing, to meet this grand meeting of the socialist movement. Europe is relatively close to Moscow, so I came from all over Europe to attend the conference. From a partisan point of view, Andropov and Serov were in charge of the reception, while the leaders of the socialist countries were personally received by Khrushchev himself. From the day of November, Moscow's airports suddenly became lively, and after communicating with the airports, the KGB opened a special channel to welcome comrades from various countries to prevent the travel of ordinary people.

The whole of Moscow was ready, the Propaganda Department was working at full speed to publicize the congress, the local party committees of the Soviet Union at all levels were carrying out the ideas to the lower-level cadres, and Yegorechev was constantly stressing the importance of the congress of the Communist Party of 81 at the meetings of the Moscow city party committee, and various organizations, including the Soviet Communist Youth League and even the Young Pioneers at all levels, knew that such a congress was about to take place in Moscow.

On the KGB side, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs was merged this year, the security situation in the Soviet Union will be one of the priorities of the KGB's work, and Sherepin personally talked to the head of the Moscow Main Directorate of Internal Affairs and asked him to ensure Moscow's safety during the congress.

At the same time, Serov, who was in charge of receiving the Communist Party of Europe, received the time when the Communist Party comrades from various countries came to Moscow, and after arranging a hotel for these foreign comrades who came to Moscow to stay, he grew like a tree at the Moscow airport, he had never seen so many big people, received these Communist Party delegations from the airport, and then escorted them to the hotel to stay, during which he naturally had to talk and laugh about Moscow's achievements, and finally returned to the airport to wait for the next one. As a strict KGB security cadre, Serov is usually unsmiling, but at present, the whole world is under the momentum of my hands, even if the current momentum is not his, but as a member of it, he has reason to be happy.

The KGB agent who was following the first vice chairman suddenly noticed that his commander was smiling almost more than in the past year, was this the same person who announced that he would defeat the United States at the Rome Olympics and take first place? Was it the agitator who ordered the 65 Guards Tank Regiment to capture West Berlin in one day in the city of Berlin? Or are they the anti-rebel workers who have just been aggressively announcing a crackdown on the whole Union at the National Conference of Security Cadres?

A group of stupid ×, Serov didn't care what others thought of him, to put it mildly, Serov had met with no less than 20 general secretaries and chairmen of the Communist Party in the past few days, and even if he chatted with any of them through an interpreter, he could feel the other party's beautiful ideas for communism, and after summarizing more than ten different opinions, he found that the heaven defined by the Vatican was more suitable for the ideas of these communist leaders.

"We have never said that communism is the ultimate system of mankind, and do not make mistake about this, comrades, what we claim is that communism is the next system after capitalism, and socialism is an important stage in the transition of capitalism to communism, so don't deliberately misinterpret our meaning like the New York Times." Serov to the leader of the Finnish Communist Party, Aim? Altonin said with a smile, "We Communists never think that anything is eternal, and when we reach the communist society, we will look for the value of the next stage!" ”

Altonen recognized this sentence very much, Altonen was a faction within the Finnish Communist Party that advocated being close to the Soviet Union, and this time he came from Leningrad, and unlike some representatives of the Communist Party in Western Europe, he saw a lot of Soviet scenery along the way, especially the Leningrad region.

"Comrade Altonin can take a rest in the hotel first, and Comrade First Secretary will hold a reception in the evening to entertain you!" Serov sent Altonin to the hotel, turned around and immediately went to the Kremlin to report. News about the congress could be seen everywhere on the streets of Moscow, and as he passed by the venue, Serov saw that more than a dozen flags of the main state of society had been raised. There were two flags of the same size, the meaning of which was more important to him than anything else.

Raising his wrist and glancing at the time, it was four o'clock in the afternoon of November 7 Moscow time. (To be continued.) )
