The group that visited the United States included members of the two presidiums of the Central Committee, including the general secretary, the leaders of the three departments, and a large group of accompanying groups. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Nixon was deeply involved in Watergate, and in order to turn things around, he definitely needs to do something urgently, and I think the initiative is on our side." Foreign Minister Gromyko on the plane said that the Democratic-majority Congress decided to set up a special investigative committee to conduct a thorough investigation into the presidential campaign. In March, McCord exposed White House counsel Dean in court. Nixon decided to abandon the car and make Dean a scapegoat.

"It's not a problem that can be reversed, Nixon will definitely be out of office because of Watergate, the United States is a two-party system, and there is another strong Democratic Party, the difference is just how long it can last. Let's see if we can force the United States to make more concessions. Serov said lazily, "He will definitely not be able to finish this term, let's see if I can help in any way." ”

"Daddy, drink water." A young man who looked to be about twenty years old in the uniform of an anti-anti-anti-activist came over and brought a glass of water for each of the senior Soviet cadres here.

"Oh, thanks, you guys take a break too." Serov nodded slightly and replied gently. Where did he go?

"Yura, why do these security guards call you Dad? I thought you were doing something behind Valya's back! Culture Minister Vortseva asked a question that had been buried in her mind for a long time, and she found it strange from the moment she boarded the plane, Chernenko and Foreign Minister Gromyko also nodded at the same time, Brezhnev did not say, but was more curious.

What happened? Naturally, it was done, but it will definitely not let you know, Serov drank the water dry, pursed his lips and said, "These children, they were all brought back from various countries by the KGB, and their fathers were all US troops stationed in various countries, after these American GIs returned home, these children and their mothers were in trouble, you know, basically all countries have a certain degree of discrimination against this kind of children, especially in East Asia and the Middle East, and there are also some in Europe, if I let it go, They're going to have a terrible upbringing, and we need some of those people as well. ”

The atmosphere seemed to be sentimental all of a sudden, and Brezhnev nodded silently and said, "After returning to Moscow, I think we should allocate funds to educate these poor children well." ”

"These children are so pitiful, and those American soldiers are really irresponsible." Fortseva reprimanded with a bit of a low voice.

Well? Just listen to this statement, the USSR was no stronger than the United States in this regard, and even more excessive. It's just that someone in the Soviet Union watched and shot the soldiers involved if they made a big deal, and the United States usually did not punish the soldiers.

The number of American illegitimate children taken in by the KGB ranged from a few years old to their twenties, and the number was as high as 40,000. Under the teaching of Isemotney, these American illegitimate children called him father, and he, the chairman of the KGB, received more than 40,000 dishes in an instant.

"Take a break, you still need to take it seriously when you get to the United States." As soon as Brezhnev said a word, he began to close his eyes and recuperate.

A few hours later, Brekounev's plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base in the United States and began his eight-day visit to the United States. This was Brezhnev's first visit to the United States, and he was accompanied by the foreign minister and the minister of culture. Arriving at the airport was greeted by U.S. Secretary of State Rogers. Prior to this, the Soviet Union had supported the convening of a Europe-wide security conference without the participation of the United States, believing that such a conference would create divisions within the Western community and at the same time facilitate the disintegration of NATO, a long-term goal of the Soviet Union.

"The Americans really took great pains to bring people from Florida to make us uncomfortable, I'm sorry, comrades, these people are coming for me, maybe I shouldn't have taken part in the visit." Deaf to the protests on the road, Serov apologized to Brezhnev, "But before I came, I had conceived of such an idea, and it will be up to me when the time comes!" ”

"I'm looking forward to your plan, the small actions of the United States are really annoying, but this does not delay our overall situation." Brezhnev looked sideways at the sparse protests, in fact, most Americans are still calm, and now the United States itself has a bunch of problems, the protests of the Vietnam War, the domestic economic downturn, the problems of blacks, and so on. The vast majority of the American intelligence sent by the KGB was negative.

In addition to the problems between the United States and the Soviet Union, Brezhnev also wanted to talk about the relations between China and the Arab countries and Israel, which after the last war were still full of hostility and the two sides were in a state of mutual dissatisfaction. Theoretically, Israel still occupies Egypt, Syria and Jordan, which are not many combined, one fifth of the Golan Heights, the entire West Bank, and 2,000 square kilometers of the Sinai Peninsula. To be sure, this is much better than it was in history, but it is still unacceptable to several Arab countries, and the two sides are more prepared than before.

If there is a difference, it is that Israel will not be attacked by a sneak attack, because the two sides themselves are in an arms race, which is extremely unfavorable to Israel, because the history of the Middle East is not the same as before, after the success of the Iraqi Communist Party in seizing power, it is urgent to resolve the complaints of other Arab countries, and the war preparations are more active than anyone else. Brezhnev hoped that Nixon would make Israel back down and spit out these occupied areas in exchange for peace in the Middle East.

This is completely different from the position of the Soviet Union and the United States in history, when Nixon ignored Brezhnev's proposal, and although Brezhnev also took the initiative this time, the Soviet Union was in a clear strategic advantage.

"Again, I remember the last time I was here, it's been so many years. Eisenhower had been dead for years. On the lawn of Camp David, Serov, who had always had a big mouth, spoke without any care, but fortunately there were no Americans around. It was evening, and the Soviet delegation was again scheduled to rest at Camp David, and the official talks began the next day.

The Moscow Kremlin, with the participation of the Secretary of the Central Committee Suslov, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Sherepin, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosygin, and the First Secretary of Ukraine Serest, who did not often attend the meeting, was presided over by the Secretary of the Central Committee Suslov, and at the beginning the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Serepin put forward a proposal that caught everyone off guard.

Many people found that Sherepin changed his previous silence, and seemed to have a different temperament, although the meeting was chaired by Suslov, but the first proposal was Shelepin, "In the future that can be seen, we can be sure that the motherland will have a fierce competition with the United States, so for our highest power structure, the importance of some important departments should be faced, otherwise it is irresponsible to the motherland." ”

At this time, Sherepin seemed to have everything under control, and this attitude and tone made others a little familiar and unfamiliar, and many people have forgotten in the past two years that this person is the boss of the Communist Youth League and a person with the title of Eagle of the Communist Youth League.

This proposal was both unprepared and somewhat unprepared. Suslov's face did not change, as if he hadn't heard, he just asked for the opinions of others, lifted his glasses and said, "Let's talk about our opinions, we are collective leaders, everyone can speak freely!" ”

"Alexey, what does Sherepin want to do while Brezhnev is away?" Polyansky whispered that Kosygin had no intention of being the backbone of the government, and that both he and Mazulov trusted the judgment of their heads.

"Shurik wants to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of collective leadership, and at the same time raise the voice of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to win support, and we will see." Kosygin said a few words, and followed Sherepin's train of thought without changing his face, "In principle, I have no objection, but I still have to wait for Comrade Brezhnev to come back and make a decision." ”

"Wait, Comrade Ilyich is not here, on the issue of increasing the number of members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, should we think about it, this is not in accordance with the principles of the organization." Kirilenko, the secretary of the Central Committee in charge of heavy industry, hurriedly stood up and objected, "The general secretary is not here, we should wait for him to come back and discuss it." ”

"What? The general secretary is not here, and I am not even qualified to discuss it? Sherepin also stood up abruptly and said, "I, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, don't you even have the right to speak?" ”

Xie Lepin's hard-line attitude made many people uncomfortable all of a sudden, and people suddenly remembered that this very young member of the Presidium of the Central Committee was also the feared eagle of the Communist Youth League at the beginning, with the title of iron-fisted Shurik. Not only Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, but also Chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission.

"That's not what I meant!" After Kirilenko and Sherepin looked at each other for a moment, they turned their eyes away and did not have a head-on confrontation with each other, Brezhnev was not in the country, and he still did not dare to confront Sherepin head-on.

"That's fine, of course, we're just talking about how departments can better serve the country." Xie Lepin did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and said with a soothing attitude, "In the end, whether it is necessary to pass or not, it is natural to wait for the general secretary to come back and make a decision." ”

"Okay, comrades, we still have to pay attention to unity, then we will talk about this matter." Suslov, duly preventing the expansion of the conflict, began to discuss Sherepin's proposal. Sherepin, who had been prepared from beginning to end, controlled the rhythm of the meeting, and the first secretary of Ukraine, Serest, helped him, so that Kirilenko did not know what to do.

"Wait for the general secretary to come back, I didn't expect that Sheryst went to Moscow, what a surprise." Shcherbitsky said into the phone, "It's not appropriate to start a conflict with the other side now, and Sherepin is definitely dissatisfied with the affairs of Moscow and Leningrad."
