It's a contest between two people of the same kind, and this year marks Hoover's thirty-eighth year as FBI director. He witnessed the United States rise from the weight of the old imperialism of Britain and France to become the world's strongest superpower today. It also witnessed the rise of the Soviet Union, which became a major problem for the United States today.

Compared with Hoover, Serov is just a fledgling little spy, Hoover was the director of the FBI, even older than Serov's age, and it can even be said that Hoover should be the same generation as Dzerzhinsky.

The two men stared at each other tightly, and at the same time let go of their hands, and both politely took out a handkerchief from their pockets and wiped their hands, as if they had just touched a patient infected with the plague instead of a friendly handshake.

The hostility was palpable, and Serov got his message at the same time as Hoover shook hands. The reason why the eternal FBI director is here is entirely because Kennedy knew that he was a Soviet security cadre and decided to send an equally clever FBI director on the American side to try Serov's level.

Glancing at the figure in the window of the White House, Serov was also not in a hurry, he hoped that the negotiations would take as long as possible, Kennedy's consideration was in the right place, in his heart, Serov was also very interested in Hoover, who had been a half-century until his death, and he also seemed to try the level of the director of the FBI.

"I'm not a bugging device, but an anti-eavesdropping device, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, how dare I play tricks in front of Director Hoover in a dangerous situation? The director is really careful! Serov took the pen out of his jacket pocket and fiddled with it and put it back again, not ready to be handed over to Hoover.

"Who knows if you crazy Soviets will pose a threat to the president's safety?" Hoover glanced up at the sun above his head, it was a good day for an outing with the sun shining today. However, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union this time will not be settled, and I believe that no one will dare to go out from this time.

A safety stake for Kennedy? Serov smiled inexplicably and didn't answer, he really wanted Kennedy dead. It doesn't have to be Soviet. In history, Hoover, as the director of the FBI, was responsible for the assassination of Kennedy, and Hoover later investigated the JFK assassination and came up with that kind of bullshit investigation report. Perhaps the Kennedy brothers' deaths, even if Hoover did not personally order it, would have been an insider.

But what is the matter with Serov? It is nothing more than a farce of contention among different interest groups in the United States. The Kennedy family's foundation itself was not clean. Not to mention that Nixon made Nixon dumb when he ran for president, and appointed his younger brother as attorney general to manage the FBI and the CIA during his administration, and with the Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy took a big nuclear war posture before the congressional election because of the crisis. With this it was enough for Kennedy to die, and those who jumped too high usually did no good, and Khrushchev, who was also the first secretary and chairman of the Council of Ministers, was far more stable than Kennedy, all of whom were affected by the Cuban Missile Crisis, not to mention that Kennedy was far from Khrushchev's position of a man of his word.

"It's so well guarded. Didn't Director Hoover believe in his own arrangement? Serov stretched out his hands and gestured, "As the head of the intelligence service, one is an officer promoted by an agent like Dulles, and the other is an official like Director Hoover, except for the incompetent, the average intelligence officer is also in this style." ”

The incompetent person is the kind of intelligence chief who has no style, and Semychasny and even Sherepin are within Serov's assessment, Hoover, such a brilliant administrative cadre. and Dulles, a good intelligence worker, has his own philosophy and his own style. Shelepin and Semychasny historically dismantled the organizational structure of the KGB. The appointment of a large number of Komsomol cadres and the average conduct of foreign intelligence work actually left the KGB, which had merged with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in a state of disarray, on the contrary, Andropov was much smarter, and although he took over a broken department, he built the skeleton of the KGB. Completed self-preservation in pretending to be dead.

Hoover was the preeminent executive who spent decades building up the FBI's network, and he may not have as much of a way to foreign intelligence as Dulles, but he could never be said to be inferior to Dulles. If the skeleton built by Hoover had been working, it would have played a greater role in the long run than Dulles.

Both are outstanding spy chiefs in their respective countries. On the lawn outside the White House, there was a confrontation between the spy chiefs, although the exchange between the spy chiefs only used their mouths, but because both sides controlled a lot of information that ordinary people did not know, they would be more careful in the war of words. It can also be quite embarrassing to overwhelm the opponent in momentum, but to be recognized by the opponent. Because both Serov and Hoover have full experience in counter-espionage and lying.

In fact, this is one of the battles between the United States and the Soviet Union on the secret front, but this time the people who personally fought each other were among the best intelligence directors in their respective countries.

"General intelligence chief, it seems that General Serov also thinks I am a general intelligence director?" A smile came out of Hoover's stiff face, and the effect was very good! It's better for him to keep a straight face.

"Why not?" The English spoken today is not in vain in the efforts of the original owner of this body, more than he has said in his life, "With your ability, you can also achieve your current position in the State Security Committee of the Soviet Union, and if I find a talent similar to Director Hoover, I will definitely give up the position of director of the General Bureau!" Serov stared directly into Hoover's eyes and said, Another meaning is that you Hoover is just the director of the FBI, and it has taken me a few years to surpass you in status.

"The real intelligence director is not a fool like Dulles who comes up with some whimsical plan, everyone understands the reason, he is as stupid as you are, and always thinks he is very smart. In fact, in the face of absolute strength advantage, being smart is being smart, and it can never change the overall situation! With the structure I built, it is enough to protect the United States very well......" A sneer flashed on Hoover's granite-like face, and it was not easy to catch a trace of expression from Hoover's face, but Serov saw it.

"If Minister Beria were still alive, he would certainly not have agreed, and your so-called protection is to tell us the detailed data of the Manhattan Project to the USSR. If you work under Minister Beria, you will probably be hanged for your incompetence! Serov and Hoover were walking and chatting on the lawn outside the White House, and as soon as these words came out, Hoover, who had been unmoved, suddenly stopped his steps and stood in place.

After Beria learned of the Manhattan Project, he began to infiltrate the Manhattan Project of the United States, and the Soviet Union obtained more than 300 pieces of technical information about American nuclear weapons. The USSR abandoned the original design and copied the United States from the principles, design drawings, mathematical calculations, component dimensions, fuze structure, initiating device, etc. The general designer of the USSR, Kurchatov, believed that thanks to the achievements of Soviet intelligence officers, the USSR succeeded at least two years ahead of schedule. And Beria, in his report to Stalin, estimated that the USSR saved at least 300 million rubles for this.

The successful replication of the Manhattan Project in the United States is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Beria's era at the helm of the Ministry of the Interior. With this battle, Beria became the highest-ranking leader of the Soviet security cadres. It has become a benchmark for cadres in the security system.

Beria's success, on the other hand, is the incompetence of the American defense system. As the director of the FBI, Hoover is absolutely to blame, if it were the Soviet Union, Hoover's position as director would not only be unable to be kept, but his head would have to be moved. The criteria for implication can be seen in the former chairman of the KGB, General Serov.

"So what? Beria is dead, he didn't die at my hands, you killed him yourself. Hoover waited for a while to slow down, snorted and sneered, "Since Dzerzhinsky, the head of the Soviet security service has never ended well, you have sacrificed everything for the Soviet Union today, and there may be no place for the corpse in the future." Yagoda, Yezhov and Beria, aren't they enough for you to be wary of? ”

"I don't need to care about you, but I'd like to remind Director Hoover that you've done so much as FBI director that shouldn't have been done by you, and now you can stand here and talk to me, what about when you're dead? You must have ended up better than my predecessors? Not to be outdone, Serov threatened, "Many people dare not speak out about your actions, it does not mean that after you die, they will not dare to deal with a corpse......"

Not to be outdone, the two generations of spy leaders stared at each other tightly, and saw something called persistence in each other's eyes, "Marilyn Monroe is in my hands, your American political circle is quite interesting!" Serov said suddenly.

"I told Robert a long time ago that I should kill him as soon as possible, since she disappeared, I suspect that she has fallen into your hands, I have searched all over the United States, and the only one who can suddenly take people away is you Soviet KGB. But what's the matter, the power of the United States is far superior to that of your Soviet Union, you know something, and you still can't change anything. Hoover's face remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this.

"So what you call a complete architecture, that's just it." Serov commented indifferently, and Hoover snorted coldly, another guy like Dulles who does things with cleverness. Then Serov waited for Dobrynin, who cooperated with him, and when he saw Hoover's performance, he knew that the confrontation between the two was over. (To be continued.) )
