Serov himself was stunned, and Soviet reporters had already recorded this historic picture with their cameras, and if it weren't for the U2 incident, Eisenhower would have visited the Soviet Union first, and it would not have been Nixon's turn today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Brezhnev and Nixon shook hands amicably, the two took a special car to the Kremlin, this was not the first time Nixon came to the Soviet Union, he had been here in the Khrushchev era, but after more than ten years, the United States and the Soviet Union were no longer the original situation, the United States was mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, and the Soviet Union used the Vietnam War to quickly bring the two sides closer.

Over the past decade, the strength of the Soviet Union has increased rapidly, Indonesia, Sudan, Iraq, and South Yemen have changed color, Egypt and Syria have professed Arab socialism and moved closer to the Soviet Union, and other countries have either proclaimed themselves socialism or adopted part of the Soviet Union's policies, and there have been dozens of countries that have survived and relied on the support of the Soviet Union, which made Nixon feel a strong pressure, he wanted to withdraw his troops from Vietnam, but he did not dare to do so rashly, and the United States was afraid of an avalanche in Southeast Asia. The most important thing is that the Soviet Union may also have to cooperate with the United States to give the United States a step down.

"Welcome to the Soviet Union again, President Nixon. You want to end the Vietnam War, you wanted to do it three years ago? At the beginning, you pretended to be a war maniac, ordered bomber formations to take off, blackmailed the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, let us give the United States a step, let you retreat with dignity. After Serov arranged Nixon to the Ukraine Hotel, he talked and laughed with the other party, "Do you know why the general secretary didn't respond at the beginning?" ”

Three years ago, in October, in order to end the Vietnam War as soon as possible, US President Richard Nixon came up with a crazy strategy of feigning madness, forcing the Soviet Union to take action to abandon its support for North Vietnam, so that the US military could end the quagmire of the Vietnam War as soon as possible. Bombers took off from the western United States and sped along the coast of Canada at a speed of at least 500 miles per hour to the eastern border of the Soviet Union. Each bomber carried nuclear weapons hundreds of times more powerful than the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Although the U.S. bombers pretended to fly toward Moscow, their real purpose was to try to change the course of the Vietnam War, which bogged down the U.S. military. Blackmail the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, so that the Soviet Union can cooperate with the United States to withdraw from Vietnam to end the war, so that the American army can withdraw with dignity.

Nixon saw Serov again after a lapse of more than ten years, and unlike a simple secret police chief, the young man in front of him is already a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, one of the most powerful giants. In the assessment of the United States, the Soviet cadres, who are most hostile to the United States, will definitely not be able to run away if the American media want to criticize anyone.

"General Serov, I don't know what you're talking about, it was a wrong order from the Pentagon, and I let the bomber fly back after I knew it." Nixon pretended to be indifferent and cleared up his relationship with the matter.

Serov nodded clearly, and said slowly, "Operation Bigspear was cooperated by Kissinger and you, in order to blackmail the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, and let us cooperate to give the United States a chance to withdraw its troops with dignity, but unfortunately, the news of the arrival of American bombers on the borders of the Soviet Union was misinterpreted by me, and the arrival time in the Kremlin was also delayed by one day, so I'm sorry, this has not become a topic of discussion in the Central Presidium, and the comrades think that this matter is not important......"

This answer made Nixon's heart rise in turmoil, and he was surprised that Serov actually knew the official name of the operation, which made Nixon think of many bad things, such as the person in front of him said that he would lose to Kennedy, and a series of blackmail against the United States, many American secrets people in front of him knew.

"Hoover is dead, and he is no match for me alive, let alone now." Serov tried every opportunity to scare Nixon, which began more than a decade ago, and when Nixon met Serov today, he felt in his heart that he was talking to a man who knew everything about the United States.

If you scare Nixon once, the other party will certainly not feel anything, but after more than ten years, the top political leaders in the United States now believe that there must be a Soviet spy in the top level of the United States, and this spy is of a very high level and is almost familiar with many secrets of the United States. But after several investigations, they just couldn't find this person.

"I wish you a pleasant visit to the Soviet Union, rest assured, I will protect you, even if 10 million Soviets try to screw off your head, it will not succeed, this is recognized by our cadres." Serov waved his hand and said, "Now you can ask your security experts to look up the bugging, and remember to attend the Kremlin drinking party in the evening......"

Did anyone want to kill Nixon? Of course, there are not too many such people, the Soviet Union has attacked US imperialism for decades, and has created a lot of people who hate the United States, although 99 percent of the people hate the United States, but they know that the overall situation is taken into account and the call of the central government is corresponding, but there is no shortage of people in this world who want to make a big news, and if Nixon is unlucky, he may follow Kennedy's old path.

"Jura, what did you say to Nixon, how did your face seem to be a lot worse than when you first got off the plane." Brezhnev, who was holding a wine glass, looked at Nixon and Kosygin talking not far away.

From the beginning of the Kremlin's drinking party, he felt that Nixon did not seem to be very happy, and his serious face was obviously different from the daytime.

"I said that hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Soviet Union wanted to kill him, but let him rest assured that I had arranged for men to protect him." Serov, who took a sip of red wine, pretended to say, "Actually, it's just to scare and scare him, our security here is much stronger than in the United States." ”

"You can really intimidate people." Brezhnev was a typical Soviet man, who liked to drink, drank vodka, and drank very well, and now only Ustinov in the Central Presidium may be more drunk than him. The worst drinker was not Serov, but Shelepin, who basically did not drink.

"He wants to retreat with dignity and establish a balance of power to withstand our attack, which is impossible, Eastern Europe can talk about it, the threat to us over there is also more obvious, and he will not achieve his goal elsewhere." After Brezhnev put this sentence down, he also walked up to Kosygin and Sherepin and chatted with Nixon.

Serov stood there and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and walked to Ustinov and Andropov, he still has a common language with these two people, and he can always feel the caution and entanglement around Brezhnev, the general secretary is calculating all the time, both at home and abroad, and the other two hardliners are not so scheming.

"I said you should save some public money for the country." Serov walked up to the two and jokingly asked, "Two secretaries of the Central Committee, can you consider the feelings of the comrades who waited, you have drunk all the wine in the Soviet Union." ”

Ustinov's alcohol consumption is simply terrifying, on the contrary, Andropov is much more restrained, probably because his health is not very good, but he is very good at hiding, almost no one knows that Andropov's health is even worse than most.

"Serov over there in Kyiv, you have to say hello to Shreest, he is more dissatisfied with Nixon's trip to Kyiv and is having a conflict with the general secretary." Andropov said the news seemingly unintentionally.

"I see, I'll make a call later. He has a very bad impression of the United States, and I am also very bad, but we must obey the decision of the Central Committee......" Serov's heart moved closer to Andropov, and the other party did not say this unintentionally, but meant something. Andropov was mostly inclined to Brezhnev for the simple reason that Sherepin's age was a threat to everyone, as well as to Andropov. The most important thing is that Andropov knew that he was in poor health.

But the historical chairman of the KGB did not want Brezhnev to be too strong to upset the balance, because he was not a member of the Dnipro gang, and was a very prestigious cadre like Ustinov.

"These politicians are so complicated." Sensing the other party's thoughts, Serov shook his head secretly, if there was no Serepin, his age would have become the target of public criticism, and Serepin would not be so special in the Central Presidium.

After the meeting, the talks between the two sides officially began the next day, but neither Brezhnev nor Nixon participated, and the negotiators below were talking, and the two were communicating their feelings and preparing to go to Kiev. The First Secretary of Ukraine Serreste and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers Serbitsky are already waiting there.

A waving statue of Lenin on the Square of the October Revolution. Huge fountains, young people coming out of the bustling shops of choice on the side of the square, this is Kiev in the seventies, and the square has a statue of the "Mother of the Motherland" built in honor of the Great Patriotic War. On the right bank of the Dnieper, the 60-meter-high "Mother of the Fatherland" stands on a marble pedestal engraved with the names of more than 10,000 "Heroes of the Soviets", holding a long sword in her right hand and a shield with the coat of arms of the Soviet Union in her left hand.

Today a US president was welcomed here, accompanied by First Secretary Serrest and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Serbitzki, Nixon began his visit to Kyiv at a time when negotiators from Moscow, the Soviet Union and the United States were engaged in a war of words about the Vietnam War and the confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Mutual recrimination is necessary, and private negotiations have never had anything to do with friendship, and I don't want to be so harmonious between the leaders of the two countries.

"If Nixon dies in Kyiv, will the United States declare war on us, probably not, the president of the United States is not so important." In front of Ustinov and Andropov, Serov unscrupulously opened a group mockery. He was just joking, and Nixon couldn't hear it anyway.

Nixon really couldn't hear it, and when he came to Kyiv, he felt that when the Soviet Union couldn't see Serov, the country was obviously much more pleasing to the eye, at least no one would always threaten him in private. He always scares himself, who can bear this? The strong Soviet style of architecture has also become very pleasing to the eye. The view of Ukraine is really very nice. He did not know that Shrest, who accompanied him, was no less anti-American than Serov. (To be continued.) )
