Chapter 282: Cleopatra
Although he is not a professional agent, Serov is also quite familiar with some methods of hiding his identity, and it is not very difficult to pretend to be a harmless ordinary person, and now he has an awkward mood in it. That's my destination, Havana, Cuba, and the route there makes it difficult. Because Serov had already planned a large number of operations earlier, it was very necessary to hide his identity as much as possible, not to mention that there was no direct route between the Soviet Union and Cuba at present.
However, it took a long time to travel to Cuba by sea. This is also the reason why Serov couldn't wait to come out immediately after participating in the October Revolution military parade, completely giving others the illusion of running for the country. But actually......
Italy and Greece are the starting point of European civilization, after World War II, Churchill would rather sell Poland, which fought for Britain, but also save Italy and Greece to stay in the free world, but unfortunately Churchill saw the day when the Italian Communist Party came to power when he was alive, seven years ago the Italian Communist Party came to power, Churchill despite his old body and spoke out to prevent Italy from favoring the Soviet Union, for which he repeatedly came out to persuade the United States.
As a result, Serov saw that the United States still did not dare to play repression under the noses of other European countries, and Churchill's words were not taken seriously. On the contrary, more than a year later, he joined forces with the Soviet Union in the Suez Cloud and the war, which completely showed that the British Empire swept into the dustbin of history. Since then, Churchill has not been seen in public again, and it is believed that the old man has understood that burying the weak British Empire is far less risky for the United States and the Soviet Union than a collision between the two camps.
The Roman city of Italy, the undoubted center, may have been influenced by the Italian people under the communist government, and the Italians, who were once known for their warm romance, are now wearing a touch of seriousness on many, according to recent opinion polls. The majority of the people still cherish their traditional culture. But the understanding of religion is becoming more and more rational, and religion is important, but religion cannot be the first thing to be considered in Italy.
"The country has changed again, and according to the analysis of our KGB foreign stations, it can be seen that the Italians now have no obvious inclination towards the United States and the Soviet Union, and from this point we have won!" Serov on the streets of Rome is like an ordinary couple. Said with his arms around Isemotny.
This is the cover identity of the two in Europe, and Isemotene enjoys this identity, accompanying the man like a real wife. For this woman, there are really not many such occasions and they need to be cherished. She is not the only one who needs to be cherished, Lukani's little girl has also been a lot more cheerful after going abroad, but in terms of personality, Lukani does not have such superb acting skills as Isemotni.
"Is this our pilot project in Europe? But where no one cares in other directions, our main work is still based on armed struggle, and here in Europe can only be considered a special case! Serov pulled this woman down the street. Both of them speak good English, and the level is good enough to be true,
In fact, there are two people who understand this better. One is Serov of the KGB, and the other is Andropov, the current head of the Central Liaison Department, Serov just learned the news that Andropov has formed a youth league organization among the students in Sudan and Iraq, and the specific work is similar to that of the Lenin Communist Youth League in the Soviet Union, which makes Serov feel unusual.
For the USSR and some self-reliant socialist countries. The Komsomol membership is a powerful addition to the party, but for some countries it is a completely different situation. For example, the Communist Youth League in Mongolia was completely supported by the Soviet Union from among the radical youth. Its role is to monitor the situation in Mongolia and prevent the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party from breaking away from the control of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, so that there will be a situation where the Soviet Union is purging, Mongolia is purging, the Soviet Union is anti-Stalin, and Mongolia is anti-Choibalshan. Taking into account the character of Andropov. Having worked together in Hungary, Serov could almost conclude that the youth league that Andropov was seeking to establish must have wanted to build an organization like Mongolia's.
In a hotel, Serov met with his men in Italy. Of course, it is the hidden people, not the heads of the KGB's overseas enterprises, who are responsible for preventing the heads of the KGB's overseas enterprises from being plotted back, from the point of view of the intelligence services. There are no reliable people in the whole world, and even behind these monitors there are people secretly watching them, supervising each other layer after layer, trying to ensure that there are no traitors within the KGB as much as possible. Although there is a feeling that the grass and trees are all soldiers, it is a very necessary means......
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your work, you face capitalist money worship and all kinds of temptations every day, but you still complete your tasks beautifully, I only express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the KGB anti-anti-anti-counter workers!" Because he is not in the country, Serov's voice is not very loud, he only politely expresses his gratitude to these people, but his tone is not light at all, Serov in a suit is the same as Serov in a military uniform, and he will not change his status in the KGB because of the difference in clothes, which everyone knows.
"Sir has also worked hard, and he actually took the risk to come to Italy in person!" Mr. is Serov's title, the person who speaks has a big back and has the air of a successful person, Serov knows this person, he is not from the Soviet Union, but from Italy. Recruited by the Soviet Union in World War II and serving until now, there are many KGB agents overseas, after all, it is impossible for all agents to be trained by the Soviet Union, the most famous representative of which is the Cambridge Five, at present, Serov has ordered that he will not contact any of the Cambridge Five, and the focus of his work has changed to ensure the safety of the Cambridge Five.
While the Cambridge Five are still not exposed, the KGB must create the next generation of senior agents, and in this respect, the few members of the extraordinary position will become the examiners of the new recruits.
The KGB's overseas enterprises, from the design of new products by the General Directorate of Technology Administration, combined with Italy's own good light industry base, and as a member of NATO and the European Community, have made many Italian products unimpeded in Europe, which of course caused a lot of dissatisfaction, among which France and the Federal Republic of Germany were the most dissatisfied. At this time, I thought of the United States, and hoped that the United States could come forward to restrict the actions of the Italians, but unfortunately the Americans could not do anything in this situation.
Capital has no fatherland, just as the workers have no fatherland, and capital is usually more subtle in this respect, without the dissatisfaction of the Italian Communist Party. Many industry players have already expressed their dissatisfaction first. Now that the Italian Communist Party and profit are mixed together, the Americans are even more torn between a rock and a hard place.
If Italian products were to be restricted, there would be no doubt that these countries, which had cut off Italy's financial routes, would become the object of Italian resentment. This is not a good thing for the Americans, who have always wanted to pull Italy back into their camp. But the Americans, using a powerful intelligence network, also clearly knew that a large part of the profits of Italian products belonged to the Soviets, so they were caught in a dilemma.
The just-concluded 22nd National Congress of the Soviet Union made Americans aware of the current movements of the Soviet Union, that is, Albania and Yugoslavia are currently in a stage of discord with the Soviet Union, and Italy's position in this situation is particularly important. The best outcome was for Italy to return to the embrace of the free world without any guilt, so the United States finally decided to take a soft stance towards Italy and not stand behind France and the Federal Republic of Germany to sanction Italy.
This goodwill towards Italy, and the beneficiaries of one side were the Soviets, and now Serov will no longer consider himself a friend of Italy, the long hours of work have finally paid off, profits in billions per year are received into the bosom, and Zhejiang solves a significant part of the problems of the KGB. The most important thing is to look at the face of profit, and it is easy to get the Italian Communist Party because of a different understanding of Marxism. It is clear that ideals are the main thing, but the entanglement of interests is equally important, and if we only talk about ideals, Italy may have to pull the banner of European communism again and start fighting with the Soviet Union.
For this unconventional spy on overseas enterprises of the KGB. So that Serov is quite satisfied, when the profits are large enough, Serov does not care about playing with interests, and the difference with other Soviet cadres is that Serov is very willing to do win-win things. Far less ugly than other Soviet cadres. The most ugly era of the Soviet Union was the Brezhnev era, and the specific situation was that the development of the mutual economic association changed from mutual benefit to completely serving the Soviet Union, of course, from the perspective of the Soviet Union, there was nothing wrong with this, if there was only one superpower in the world, the Soviet Union, did this, just like the later Americans, but since there are opponents, it is necessary to show a gentleman's side, even if it is a pretend.
"You can take out a part of the funds for charity, the higher your status, the better your reputation, you are contributing to our cause, I will not care about you, five percent of the annual profit will be given to you as a fund for the development of yourself, you must be a philanthropist, you must be a celebrity, and the organization will not care!" Serov, who was deeply impressed by the success of this meeting, said that he had always wanted to support a group of red capitalists as an internal response.
This can be regarded as a welfare, intelligence work is already very expensive, as long as there are visible results, Serov does not want to make restrictions in this regard, so as not to discourage the enthusiasm of these people, he did not say much about specific things, the KGB does not need to repeat the grading mechanism of rewards for intelligence evaluation, these overseas agents know, the Soviet Union has always been very generous in this regard.
At this time, there was a person in Italy who Serov was familiar with, that is, Elizabeth Taylor who was filming Cleopatra in Rome, this woman was the only downline that Serov had developed, and in terms of intelligence, she could be regarded as Serov's only subordinate, not one of them. He has high hopes for this woman, but he doesn't raise a vase for nothing to warm the bed, even if it is to warm the bed, she is not needed, and other women are safer.
"Cleopatra? Who would have thought that the most elegant woman in Hollywood would be a spy in the service of our Soviet Union? Does anyone believe it? On the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Rome, Serov stood by the window and looked down on the city, muttering to himself in a cold voice.
This room is Elizabeth Taylor's boudoir, in order to shoot Hollywood's epic Cleopatra, Elizabeth Taylor has lived in this room for more than half a year, and the whole room has traces of this Hollywood's first beauty. Serov had come here late at night under the cover of someone else, which was somewhat of a risky move, and he believed that he would not be discovered by anyone else, even the CIA, the most powerful opponent of the KGB.
Looking back, Serov looked at Elizabeth Taylor, who stayed in the hotel in the name of illness, this woman has not changed much after not seeing her for a year, she looks quite good, her beautiful face and natural purple eyes make Elizabeth Taylor have a kind of seductive charm, but in Serov's eyes, this woman is just a subordinate, nothing more.
"Martha, the KGB's money is not easy to get, I don't care if you like a luxurious life, I can tolerate the pursuit of fame and fortune, but the results must be made, your relationship with Marilyn Monroe should be good in the past year, can you be sure now, where is Marilyn Monroe's private diary, this is very important to us in the Soviet Union!" At this time, Serov did not wear a dark gray military coat with oppressive force, but it did not affect the fear in Elizabeth Taylor's eyes.
"I know the existence of Monroe's diary, but I don't know exactly what is written in it!" Elizabeth Taylor does not have the momentum of a big-name actress at this time, and in front of such a formidable department, the identity of an actress will not allow him to live even one more day.
"It's good to be sure that it exists, and when the time comes, we'll go and get it ourselves, and if the things inside are what we need, I can set you free immediately, and no one will know that you have worked for us in the future!" As long as the things in Monroe's diary are really valuable, Serov didn't develop this spy in vain, otherwise he really doesn't know what Elizabeth Taylor has to do besides warming the bed? The cost of bed warmers is also too high.
He very much hopes that Monroe's diary can record more private events in the United States, which will have a great effect on the KGB to sort out the context of internal politics in the United States, and if it succeeds, it will play a huge role, in case there is a better place to deploy the American nuclear bomb, but this is more unrealistic, and Serov is not willing to think about it. (To be continued.) )
