It's okay to have material needs, but you can't be incompetent, because incompetence still occupies a position means that the hopes of those who need you to provide material needs are disappointed, Serov doesn't want such a group of people to appear in the KGB, he can agree that the most efficient department in the Soviet Union is themselves, otherwise it will be a slap in the face, how embarrassing it will be.

In the early days of its establishment, FIFA headquarters was located at 229 rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, and in the thirties it was moved to Zurich, Switzerland, and after the Bern miracle of the World Cup, it was moved to Villa de Wald in Hitzshelu, Zurich. It is now the headquarters of FIFA and the center of the world's number one sport.

In fact, the goal of the visit of the Soviet Ministry of Sports is actually similar to the goal of Serov, that is, to hope that the Soviet football team will be treated fairly, but the means of the two are different, and the comrades of the Ministry of Sports can only talk about national feelings, sportsmanship and the like, and with the scope of their work, it is basically impossible to talk about anything else.

And Serov can talk about other topics, such as asking the hypocrites at FIFA, what do you really want money? Or do you want to die? If you have to take a hostile attitude towards the Soviet football team if you want money, then leave your life behind.

"Tell the comrades of the sports department that tomorrow I will participate in the exchange with those people in FIFA, and I have some personal gifts for the FIFA president, and I must personally come forward to express my friendship." Serov asked the telegrapher to speak.

Tomorrow he will first meet up with the comrades of the Soviet Ministry of Sports, and then go to Villa de Wald, the mecca of international football, or rather the stronghold of gambling that relies on football.

"Do you have any opinions on our exchanges with FIFA?" On the way to Villa Dewald, Serov listened to questions from comrades of the USSR Ministry of Sports.

"No opinion, I have some personal matters to do, just in time for your visit to Zurich, I also want to take this opportunity to improve my experience, I will not interfere with your communication, you can rest assured!" With a harmless smile on his face, Serov humbly comforted the comrades of the Soviet Ministry of Sports. Naturally, he didn't believe these words. Every time KGB personnel go abroad, they have a strong sense of purpose, except for vacation. Serov himself was not idle enough to travel.

The purpose of Serov this time is not to FIFA as a whole, but to be an important body of FIFA, the FIFA Referees Committee, which consists of a chairman and eight selected members of the Executive Committee. Its main task is to determine the official interpretation of the rules of the competition and its amendments; determine the implementation of the rules of the competition; Recommend that the Executive Committee amend the rules of the competition; Establish a list of qualified referees for international competitions based on the recommendation of the National Football Association; Establish as far as possible the adjudication law and the method of implementing the rules that are uniformly used around the world. The working committee shall organize international referee courses and training courses for those responsible for the education and training of referees in their respective countries. At the same time, it should be responsible for appointing international referees for matches organized by FIFA, organizing study classes to unify referee standards, and reporting the game situation day by day.

The organization of any institution is actually more or less the same, and if the name of the referee committee is changed to the State Security Committee of the USSR, no one can tell what kind of institution it is from the written description. The superficial structure introduction does not explain the problem, but can only play a feeling that looks powerful. But such written articles were useless to Soviet cadres, whose least lacking experience was to hold meetings of all kinds.

The current FIFA president is Stanley? Laws, this man is an Englishman, I believe he should be able to understand what Serov is trying to say, because this man turned out to be a referee in English football. Stanley? During his tenure as FIFA president, Rouse saw England win the World Cup on home soil. If Serov is not mistaken, there seems to be some problems with that World Cup, I don't know with Stanley? It doesn't matter if Rouse, the president of FIFA, has anything to do with it.

"First Deputy Chairman of the National Security Council of the USSR, Yuri Yefimovich Serov, it was a pleasure to meet you, Stanley? Mr. Laws! "In the midst of the Soviet Ministry of Sports, Serov, who was carrying the box, stretched out his hand and Stanley? Rouse shook each other, leaned forward and whispered in English, "This time I have my own purpose, and we can talk about it when we have the chance." ”

Stanley? Laws's face changed but immediately returned to normal, in the eyes of many people with high enough status, Serov's not too handsome face was still recognizable, and with the addition of name and position, it was even more impressive.

The atmosphere of the whole exchange, although it was not friendly, but both sides were very polite, and there was a lot to talk about, which was more boring, the comrades of the Soviet Ministry of Sports still seemed to be a little young, at least Serov thought so, what was the director of the football department doing? Do you think you're reporting to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers?

After a while, a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, walked up to Serov and whispered, "Sir, Stanley?" Mr. Rouse invites you to try fresh caviar! ”

Serov, who stood up seemingly unintentionally and carried the box, left the place of exchange with an indifferent expression, tasting caviar? Stanley? Rouse is also quite humorous, caviar is such a thing, the Soviet Union produces a lot of it.

"Stanley? Hello, Mr. Rouse! Greetings from the KGB anti-anti-counter workers! "Serov into Stanley? After Rouse's office, he expressed his friendliness with a cautious smile, but his expression seemed strange, like what? It's like seeing a prisoner awaiting trial.

"General Serov, this belongs to sports, it belongs to football, I don't know what a politician is doing here with us?" Stanley? Rouse cautiously tested Serov's intentions, after all, the arrival of a leader of a law enforcement department, no matter what the purpose, could not be regarded as a good thing.

"I'm here to get justice for Soviet football. Has it become the norm for the people on your referee committee to use black whistles against us? Serov directly stated his purpose and said unabashedly, "In the last few games, the referee factor has become the biggest enemy of the Soviet football team. Or is my arrival here today to make Stanley? Mr. Rouse is a little upset? Isn't there a bit of a thief? ”

"General Serov, anything can happen on the football field, you can't measure sports with a political eye, football is round, nothing can be predicted!" Stanley? Rouse said very firmly, "Don't try to interfere with sports by political means, it's impossible!" ”

"Football is round, but it is people who play football, and referees are also made up of people!" Serov snorted coldly and said, "In this year's World Cup, Voronin, who was entangled by the opponent, was judged to have committed a foul, and the opponent got a direct free kick opportunity, and when Yashin was still arranging the human wall, Sanchez broke the net with his feet, and the referee Ryan who had not yet blown the whistle to signal the direct free kick was taken? Horn declared the goal valid, and two Soviet players stepped forward to almost get off the pitch and later snuff out a penalty from the Soviets at 1-1. In the end, Guizhou was the European champion, and the Soviet team could only be eliminated with a score of 1:2. How do you explain this? Actually, I don't need your explanation, Stanley? Mr. Law, because I've solved this problem! ”

While speaking, Serov opened the box with a somewhat morbid expression, took out a white skull and put it in his hand without any scruples, and exclaimed in a strange tone, "What a white skull, like a work of art, by the way, the owner of this skull is a referee, his name is Lane?" Horn, who was the referee of the match between the Soviet Union and Chile at the World Cup, heard that Ryan? Mr. Horn's whereabouts are unknown when he travels, right? Now you see him......"

With Serov's narration, Stanley? What does it mean that Laws's eyes were pressed against the skull in Serov's hand? So what about the World Cup referee Ryan? Horn, who has been rumored to have been killed by the KGB, the powerful division of the Soviet Union? "General Serov, you are committing a crime, Lane? Even if Mr. Horn miscalculates, you can't make him pay with his life! ”

"No, we have this reason, in a petty crime is also a crime, the KGB, as a law enforcement agency, has the right and obligation to give our football team fairness, today I came to Zurich, your so-called FIFA headquarters, to see you, the so-called president of FIFA, with only one purpose, and that is to keep your dirty paws away from the Soviet Union, no department in the world wants to be targeted by the KGB, if you think that the organizational structure of FIFA is stronger than that of the CIA, then you can try, No one can protect the people we want to kill! Serov took out the skull and hand bones and put them on the table and said, "This belongs to you, if there is a next time, I will not send it myself!" ”

"General Serov, what are you going to do if I don't agree to your threats?" Stanley? Rouse was also a little enraged, and it was unreasonable that a Soviet law enforcement agency should come here to show off his might.

"Then we have to see if you can afford the consequences, do you want money or death? As an intelligence agency, it's not that hard to collect data, because you don't really have a lot of influence as an organization, and I don't want to mobilize our own forces to check your bills, but don't force me to do that. Serov indifferently threatened, "Actually, there is a simpler plan, which is to let you die young, and change to a FIFA president who is not so hostile to us, if your successor is like you, it is a big deal that we act once, I don't believe that everyone is not afraid of death......"
