Chapter 635: Talking and Laughing
BBC is the signature of British television and has a huge influence. Pen & Fun & Cabinet www.biquge.info in the office of the fourth channel of the British Radio and Television, where today's well-known British presenters and reporters gathered, for them, a Soviet hard-line leader to be interviewed is rare, although many people think that Serov's visit represents the hard-line groups in the Soviet Union temporarily bow their heads, and they want to take this opportunity to let the British people know that the hard-line leaders of the Soviet Union must also respond to Brezhnev's détente rhetoric.
The whole studio was filled with cameras from various angles, not missing a single detail, so that the whole British people could get a full picture of the chairman of the Soviet State Security Council, and the people of these radio stations were nervous and busy, and many people from other channels also came to Channel 4 to experience this very ordinary interview up close.
There was a commotion, people looked at the elevator, a man with a blue big-brimmed hat and an expressionless Soviet military coat came out of it, Serov was obviously stunned for a moment for so many people waiting, but then the smile was not affected by these people, the Soviet Union did not lack any big scenes, and the atmosphere at the security conference was far warmer than here.
Under the guidance of the staff, Serov naturally walked to the studio, the military boots under his feet clicked, and when he arrived at the position he was arranged, he stood still and unbuttoned the five-pointed star button on his chest one by one, and instinctively held a cigarette in his mouth and waited for the interview to begin. This kind of empty-eyed attitude made all the British people a little uncomfortable, but when they saw the pistol on the other party's waist, they felt that it was better to pretend not to care.
"It's no different from the Voice of the Soviet Union, Meshatsev and who copied whom here?" Serov, who was very bored, polluted the air very shamelessly, and at the same time complained in his heart, so that Meshatsev in Moscow was shot countless times.
After a while, two very formally dressed hosts came to the studio, and Serov raised his head slightly and said, "Edward Wallace, Walter?" Cronkite, Walter? Mr. Cronkite, it's been hard work to get here from the United States. ”
"General Serov, as an important leader of the Soviet Union, we are flattered that you know our names, but it is worth my request to British Radio and Television to have an interview with you. But I was just on vacation in the UK and happened to come across you visiting "Walter? Cronkite smiled slightly, "I almost forgot, you are the omnipotent and omniscient chairman of the KGB of the Soviet Union, and no one has secrets in front of you, I don't know if that's the case." ”
"You people, always exaggerating the capabilities of our department, and this prejudice doesn't know when it will end." Serov was not surprised, nor was he caught off guard by a sudden attack, one more is one more, what is this?
At the beginning, Serov met two famous hosts in Britain and the United States, and he saw the assistant gesturing to see if it was stopped, and Serov seemed to inadvertently touch the second five-pointed star button on his coat twice, signaling to continue, don't worry. This kind of communication, which belongs to the department, is not seen by anyone.
At this time, most people across the UK are staying at home and watching today's interview show. It was the first time that the Soviet leadership had given a live television interview, and there was such a rare opportunity for some British men to reprimand their own children in a rare way, telling them to be honest.
"General Serov, how did you feel when you first came to England?" Edward Wallace first asked a more routine question as an appetizer for this encounter.
"There was a lot of scolding everywhere I passed, and what disappointed me was why no one really dared to act. With so much dissatisfaction with me, you can take me out and kill me, and I can also try the security work around me. "As for the impression of Britain, it is no different from going to Syria and Cuba, an ordinary country, such a big place, so many people, average food, average industry, average charm, no ......."
The other party obviously had bad intentions, and Serov was naturally not very polite and said his intuitive feelings. Compared with the Soviet Union, Britain in this era was an ordinary country, and after mentioning Britain's perception, he turned the words on France. Plainly and secretly, France is stronger than Britain, and he is playing sowing discord in front of tens of millions of viewers, and he really wants to ask who else? As for what the other party thinks, he doesn't care.
"As a politician, General Serov has unconcealed hostility and seems to have some misunderstandings about us." Edward Wallace retorted unhurriedly, "The people's protest against General Serov is their freedom, is our government going to suppress such actions?" The USSR may be able to do it, but we can't. Unlike the Soviet Union, which was a country that disregarded public opinion, the British government had to take into account public opinion.
Edward Wallace answered the first question while countering it, but turned a deaf ear to the latter. Having lost all its colonies, Britain had lost its eligibility to compare with the Soviet Union. But Walter of CBT? Cronkite took up the latter question, Britain and the Soviet Union could not be compared, but the United States could. The cooperation of the two of them is like a cannon, so that ordinary people can't resist it at all.
"At present, the free world and the Soviet Union are in a trend of détente, and this hostility of General Serov will not help us to improve relations." Walter? Cronkitt had a playful tone, with a characteristic American humor. But his humor was played in the wrong place, the British did not buy it, and Serov did not understand it.
"I have been emphasizing at home that we can catch up with the gap between the two sides with our own strength, the whole world is our friend, and we are not like a hegemonic country like the United States, which invades other countries across the Pacific Ocean, and you have done this kind of thing twice." Serov lit a cigarette again, and emphasized with the smoke, "The Soviet Union never wanted to confront, if my memory is correct, the beginning of the Cold War began with Prime Minister Churchill's Iron Curtain speech, if this responsibility must be divided, may I ask whether this responsibility is borne by Britain and the United States?" ”
"You are hostile to us, you blockade us, look at the countries of your camp, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, all the imperialism in modern times are all alive, what about our side? A group of agrarian countries, what was the largest group in our countries before this? If you are a farmer, how can you have any international status? Serov finally turned the subject back to the slow but forceful saying, "If the Cold War was a competition, the Soviet Union had no choice but to respond passively, and had to fight with a large number of people while recovering its economy and increasing its military strength." From the intervention of the Entente during the founding of the country, we have learned a truth: the Soviet Union must not be weak, and must have a strong military force to protect itself, otherwise it will be the beginning of the war. Fifty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, today I am in London, England, going back 50 years ago, the capital of the empire on which the sun never set, and sitting here responsibly saying that we will definitely win this race, and the final winner will be us. ”
"The winner in the end will be us, and we will win." This sentence was transmitted to the television sets of thousands of households in Britain through the cameras in the studio, and this kind of remark that made the British people very uncomfortable made many people very annoyed, but they still had to endure and had to continue watching, they wanted to see the host on their side fight back.
"The infiltration with the main purpose of armed revolution will inevitably begin with a large number of human casualties, which is also the original intention of the United States to intervene in Vietnam, and we in the United States do not deny that it has caused a large number of casualties, so we are gradually withdrawing from Vietnam." Walter? Cronkite organized his own language, emphasizing the original purpose of the United States' involvement in the war.
Serov smiled, as if he had read through the other party's remarks, and said unhurriedly, "This strategy is called war Vietnamization, and simply put, the United States provides weapons and equipment for the South Vietnamese army, hoping to resist North Vietnam's efforts to unify the country." Walter? Mr. Cronkite, according to you, I am the leader of an intelligence organization that is unprecedented in history, and in the rendering of your national media, we KGB are omniscient and omnipotent, our sources of information are not equal, my information support is much stronger than yours, and the strategy developed by the United States is not very difficult for me to analyze. ”
"But your strategy is doomed to failure, since the end of World War II, in order to contain the socialist movement, you often choose to support the military junta, or incompetent dictators, according to my observation of the South Vietnamese government, as long as the withdrawal of US troops is completed, South Vietnam will definitely not be able to support it, and all the so-called efforts made by the United States will be in vain." Lighting the first cigarette that had already turned the studio into a miasma, Serov pursed his dry lips and said, "Anyone with a little common sense can see that the armed bandits of South Vietnam are just a group of labble-minded rabble, as long as the North Vietnamese army continues to advance, can this gang of ineffective wastes be able to stop it?" That's why the United States can exercise maximum restraint at the moment, if you can win? Will there still be negotiations? ”
"That's why we are proposing peace talks." Walter? Cronkite is still defending his country.
But Serov looked at the other party very easily, and reminded him seemingly unintentionally, "Two months ago, the CIA orchestrated a coup d'état in Cambodia, and I appreciate the way the US government is working hard, and it is really not something that ordinary countries can understand." ”
Who is that pig-like brain? Countless Britons shouted in their hearts, this American made the show a one-sided fancy beating, and many Britons thought that if it was our Wallace who asked questions, it would definitely not be like this. Maybe you can talk and laugh with each other (to be continued.) )
