Chapter Ninety-Nine: Martha
Although the days of the head of the bodyguard are not long, Serov is already bored, and the goodwill of Khrushchev personally coming to the United States has allowed the two countries to maintain a period of relaxation, and the impression is so short! Brezhnev, who has not yet provoked an all-out arms race, has not been provoking a full-scale arms race for a long time, this is very simple, the Soviet Union in the Brezhnev era was already so strong that the United States had to ease up, and the Soviet Union in the Khrushchev era seems to be a little bit weaker.
The endless dinner party had already irritated Khrushchev, and so was Serov, and now he has not continued to witness history, and he has no intention of going into the scene of the dinner, flying kites from afar. Later, he went directly outside to fiddle with his TT33 pistol, and the security inside was handed over to the other adjutants.
"What's going on!" Serov, who was sitting on the lawn outside the hall, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.
"The first secretary and the mayor of Los Angeles are debating!" Accompanied by the rustling sound, the walkie-talkie reported the latest movement of the dinner. Again? Serov got up from the lawn with difficulty, and staggered back indoors without doing anything to the mosquitoes of capitalism.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Khrushchev's distinctive voice coming down the microphone, and directly grabbed an adjutant and asked, "What is the cause?" After listening to it, he shook his head, it was still Khrushchev's sentence that we will bury you in the end, but this debate was provoked by the Los Angeles market, saying that we are very happy and willing to live like this, and whoever wants to bury us will fight to the end.
"No problem, the first secretary will take care of it!" These words are not nutritious at all, and they are not worth paying attention to at all. But don't you say the land of the free? Why did the mayor of Los Angeles fight to the end on behalf of the entire American people and the Soviet Union in the tone of the secretary of the Moscow municipal party committee? Who said that the people of a free country would not be represented?
We will bury you. What he means is that socialism will prevail over capitalism in economic and political competition. But the American public opinion machine took this sentence out of context. Translated as he wanted, it turned into a communist terror tactic, and Khrushchev wanted to kill you. Over the next three years, Khrushchev explained more than once what he meant by this phrase, and this time he did not want to explain it anymore.
Khrushchev was very angry and said, "You know. I'm here with good intentions, but some of you always want to end up with something serious like a joke. Some may see him and his delegation as poor relatives who have come to beg for peace. Perhaps they invited him to come just to give him a chance to "see the world," to show him the strength and strength of the United States, so that his knees would weaken, and if that was the case, then he would be ready to return home anytime and anywhere. Our plane is parked at Washington Airport, and I can call it here at any time and fly from here back to the Soviet Union."
Serov reluctantly picked up the walkie-talkie and carried out his regular work. That is, to exaggerate the atmosphere, and to say in a demagogic voice, "If the war starts at this time, we are willing to die for communism......
All the Soviets present responded fiercely to Khrushchev, and under the leadership of Serov, belligerent slogans appeared one after another in everyone's mouths, one-sidedly supporting Khrushchev not to back down, even if the war began tomorrow.
The whole place of the dinner was in addition to the clamor of the Soviet Union. All the Americans were silent, looking uneasily at the Soviet agents around them. Even a few Soviet writers, who had just had a good conversation with a Hollywood producer, looked serious and ready to sacrifice. Many people's eyes looked at Serov, who was closest to the door, and Serov did not disappoint these veteran actors, untied the pistol in the holster with a calm look, and pushed the bullets one after another in the eyes of everyone. The gaze that is all concentrated in one's own line of sight does not exist.
Then he said a word over the walkie-talkie, and all the Soviets with weapons present showed off their guys. It seems that a world war is about to break out in the next second.
"Dear Mayor Paulson, if you think what our First Secretary Comrade said is not right! Consider what you Americans yourself are doing! As an intelligence worker, I respect and know my opponents! The Commission of Inquiry into Non-American Activities has always investigated writers who are ideologically close to socialism, otherwise Miss Marilyn Monroe's husband Arthur? Miller won't be unqualified to meet us! Serov walked up to Los Angeles Mayor Paulson with a pistol and pushed the bullet into the chamber.
Everyone thought Serov was going to give the veteran Republican a shot on the spot. There were even women who covered their eyes and didn't dare to continue looking, but Serov handed the loaded pistol into the hands of Mayor Paulsen and said, "If Mr. Paulson likes to solve problems like this, I personally like to admire you, and if you don't mind, I can absorb you into the organization right away on behalf of the KGB!" ”
Mayor Paulsen, who was holding Serov's pistol, was a little at a loss, and Khrushchev reprimanded Serov in a timely manner, which made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, no one would have thought that in this kind of banquet, there would be a scene of pulling guns and facing each other, and many people were ready to use today's scene as a talking point to go back and brag to their friends.
Serov smiled apologetically, took out the magazine in his pocket, and then took his gun back from Mayor Paulsen's hand, when everyone saw that Serov handed over only an empty gun, and then apologized for doing something wrong, "I'm just joking with Mayor Paulson, Mayor Paulson will not join the KGB, unless the members who are too old make significant contributions to the Soviet Union, otherwise we will not set a precedent!" ”
"Please note that Mayor Paulson is definitely not a spy of our KGB!" Serov pulled Paulsen to his side as he spoke, easily crushing the old man's resistance, gesturing at the Soviet agents, and the images of the two were frozen in the camera after the flash, is this negative? No one could take it from Serov's hands. Serov was obviously disgusted by the actions of the mayor of Los Angeles, and he couldn't hide it from all the elites present, and some people couldn't help but laugh and forget the episode just now.
No matter how good the scar is, forget the pain, there is no difference between the Soviets and the Americans.
The difference is that there are still some Hollywood stars who stay here during the day, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, which is nothing more than the difference between power and money. In the Soviet Union, no matter how rich there is, no matter how much power there is, nothing is nothing, and the power of the United States has always been in the hands of the capitalists, and the government is just an empty shell.
Seeing Elizabeth Taylor going in the direction of the bathroom, Serov's eyes moved and he walked directly to an FBI agent and asked, "This gentleman, where is the bathroom?" ”
"Thank you!" Serov thanked him politely, swaggered directly to the bathroom with Elizabeth Taylor, unscrewed the pen on his body to make sure there was no bugging. Then it was turned off immediately, technology is not omnipotent, and anti-detection methods are not necessarily good, washing his hands in the bathroom, Serov played a voyeur very unkindly, came to the corridor with one foot on the windowsill to make a shoelace appearance, waiting for Elizabeth Taylor to appear.
Listening to the sound of obvious lady's footsteps, and suddenly the footsteps were chaotic, Serov tied his shoelaces, turned around and saw Elizabeth Taylor's flustered purple eyes, and whispered to himself, "Martha! If you don't obey, you're going to be killed, and the Hessians will tell you when it's time to go! ”
After a simple sentence, Serov raised his other leg, changed one foot to the window and tied his shoelaces, listening to Elizabeth Taylor's footsteps slowly moving away, the whole process was very short, Serov behaved very naturally, and the sound was controlled to the size that two people could hear. Even if someone sees it from a distance, they won't suspect anything, because it's more like a chance encounter, and the conversation is just polite.
Martha is the name on Elizabeth Taylor's certificate, it was given by Serov, and he didn't want people to know that Elizabeth Taylor was the informant of his development, and in Serov's eyes, Elizabeth Taylor had only one role, to get close to Marilyn Monroe, and get Marilyn Monroe's diary to record conversations with Kennedy, as long as this task is completed! It's worth it no matter how much money it costs.
Serov, who had fastened his shoes, returned to the dinner as if nothing had happened. The eyes did not glance at Elizabeth Taylor's side, combined with the historical records and the intuitive feeling of meeting today, Marilyn Monroe instantly fell into the category of women in Serov's eyes. Would a normal woman dare to threaten a president? What's more, Kennedy is still one of the few presidents with a deep background, so it is not surprising that he ended up in that kind of situation.
The next day, Serov escorted Mr. and Mrs. Khrushchev to visit the 20th Century Fox Company, which was also crowded with plainclothes policemen, both American and Soviet. They inspected the bushes outside, the flowers on each table, and the men's and women's changing rooms. In the kitchen, Rey, a chemist from the Agricultural Soil Science Laboratory? Pinker performed a radioactive examination of the food, and he also inspected the box where Khrushchev would sit to watch the "Cancan" filming.
Serov still used this time to buy a hamburger, took a bite and threw it directly into the trash, which was really a bit unpalatable. By the way, he bought a newspaper covering Khrushchev's visit to the United States, and he enjoyed the process very much, and what was even more surprising was that the American people who came into contact with Khrushchev liked him very much. Although Khrushchev was still a dictator for them, he has also become a legendary celebrity by now. Sometimes laughing, sometimes witty, sometimes complaining, and elusive. This is also because of the non-stop media coverage of him, which made him a star. For Americans, Khrushchev gradually turned into a familiar character in a sitcom, like an uncle with a changeable personality who growls at every turn, but he does have a temperament.
The newspaper also reported on the secret battle between Serov and the mayor of Los Angeles, but omitted the clip of the gun teasing the other party, although Serov knew that the story would definitely be spread by those present. It's the same whether it's reported or not.
Serov then accompanied Khrushchev to his next stop, San Francisco, where he spent a day and returned to the point where the tour began, where Khrushchev and Eisenhower were to hold talks at Camp David. (To be continued.) )
