Serov's first feeling when he returned to Europe was convenience, compared to the inconvenient transportation situation in Latin America, the situation here is obviously much better, a recent news made Serov very strange, secretly lamenting that Italy is becoming more and more proficient in playing the wall between the United States and the Soviet Union, this is because Italy and the Soviet Union began to have close contacts, and they were very interested in the T54 main battle tank of the Soviet Red Army, and the voice of the military was to let the Soviet Union help the Italian Army develop a main battle tank suitable for Italy. As soon as this voice was released, it was immediately pressured by the United States and NATO, believing that Italy itself does not need to work its main battle tanks, and that the United States is willing to help Italy develop its own main battle tanks in a cooperative way.

"It's good to play on the wall, but this level of playing with the Americans, there are times when you are in pain!" After carefully understanding the situation, this case made the cooperation between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany during the Cold War period of Serov, and that cooperation could make the Federal Republic of Germany not light, if it were not for the rich experience of tank manufacturing in the Federal Republic of Germany itself, it would be difficult to say what the result would be. Italy's technical reserves in this area are far less than those of the Federal Republic of Germany, and it is likely that the United States will eventually nullify Italy's efforts in this area.

However, this has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, and no one can stop Italy from dying, not to mention that it may be a good thing for the Soviet Union, the more the M48 main battle tank produced by the United States, the better, and I believe that the Soviet Red Army is willing to face such an opponent.

The Italians may think that the violent repression of the Soviets was too terrible, but it was not as devastating as the castration of the Americans, the former as external wounds and the latter as internal wounds. Once it is put into the pit of the Americans, the country is finished. After reading the report, Serov asked the KGB not to read too much into this kind of intelligence, and at present this aspect of things is beyond the capabilities of the Soviet Union, so let it develop naturally.

It's not the first time I've been in Italy. Italy has lost its mystique in front of Serov, but that doesn't mean there are nowhere to go, and it's not bad to listen to opera. relieved the discomfort of drifting from the sea, and even went to see the film venue where Elizabeth Taylor was filmed, and the investment in Cleopatra's film in this era can be said to be sky-high. But as if he had almost bankrupted Twentieth Century Fox, Serov felt he could give Elizabeth Taylor a chance. If there is a chance, you can eat this company that is ashamed in front of Khrushchev.

"I went to your set today, your company has invested a lot of money in this movie, if the box office fails, maybe it will go bankrupt." At the Four Seasons Hotel in the evening, Serov leaned back against the window and looked at Elizabeth Taylor.

Elizabeth Taylor didn't know how Serov got in, just as she didn't know where the man had been lately, but one thing that wouldn't change, and that was the attitude of obedience in front of Serov. The elusive gesture only made Elizabeth Taylor more careful. "Sir, yes, the company has invested heavily in this film, which is a very risky move."

Before Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh had already made a film about this period of history in four or five years. So actors like Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn, in fact, are facing a problem, they have to overcome the classic image that is already in the minds of the audience, judging from the current feedback. The response was not good. It's like the Hong Kong version of Little Dragon Girl in Serov's mind is a classic, and the Hunan version of Little Dragon Girl is enough to look at at it. Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and other actors were recognized, or after the death of the actors before them, Elizabeth Taylor became the final victor under the cover of time.

"Including a million dollars paid to you?" Serov's answer convinced Elizabeth Taylor that her company's film had been investigated clearly, and that perhaps the man had suddenly disappeared because of it.

Women's associations are richer, how can he have time to pay attention to such trivial things. If you have to deal with a company that you have to meddle in yourself, then you will not be busy for a day, and of course if Twentieth Century Fox really has a bankruptcy crisis. That's really not too small a thing, it's equivalent to opening a gap in Hollywood, which is the cultural hegemony, well, very operational.

The conversation between the two was no different from Serov's conversation with his subordinates in the KGB. If anything, it's that the KGB's subordinates would argue at all, and Elizabeth Taylor wouldn't dare at all. This boring command-style dialogue will continue.

"This is a good thing for you, even if you are successful as an actor, is it possible to become a real influencer? No matter how big-name an actor is, he doesn't have the nourishment of the boss. Serov said like a hidden trader, "Vivien Leigh has already played the same role before you, so now the box office estimated by your company is actually a very risky adventure, I estimate that your company will definitely encounter difficulties, but your chance has come, Martha......"

Elizabeth Taylor suddenly looked up, as an actress at the level of an actress, her appearance is directly proportional to her intelligence, and now she understands what Serov meant, but she can't believe it when she is shocked by this huge joy. I want to ask it myself to confirm, "Will Sir let me take control of Twentieth Century Fox?" ”

"It's not me, it's our USSR State Security Council!" Serov corrected unhurriedly, "The current odds are only half-open, if this movie really drags down Twentieth Century Fox, then I will pay you to eat this company, I will let your boss speak out in front of the first secretary, and then I will design a scam to make him bankrupt......"

While speaking, Elizabeth Taylor was already standing in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Go take a bath, stay here tonight, and let's talk about how to occupy a place in Hollywood, I believe you Soviet Union is also very interested." "I'm so interested," Serov said secretly.

After omitting a chapter here, the woman in her arms squinted for a while, and then heard Elizabeth Taylor say, "Sir, I don't have the financial resources to buy our company, so I don't know what to do." ”

"I have a few subordinates in the United States, you don't have to worry about money." Serov said in a cerebral way, "Using Hollywood to serve our Soviet Union, manipulating something, and spending as much as it costs." The national interest cannot be measured in monetary terms......"

The KGB's funds are not much to maintain its size, and it is even a little stretched, but for an ordinary film company, the energy that the KGB can mobilize is simply not enough. Serov would not reveal even half a word to this woman, even if Elizabeth Taylor was soothing him with her body.

A few days later, Serov, who got off the bus in Moscow, felt the familiar cold, fortunately, he was prepared and put on his military coat after entering Eastern Europe, but he suddenly returned to the Russian winter from the tropical climate of Cuba, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

"This is the number of the unit and the list of officers above the colonel level issued by the disarmament!" Lieutenant General Roman, director of the General Military Administration, presented a document on the disarmament orders issued by the Presidium of the Central Committee to the Ministry of Defense this year and the Ministry of National Defense's feedback.

"Show me!" Serov took the list at a glance and ten lines, and suddenly found a familiar name in it, and looked back at Colonel Oleg, the commander of the 65th Guards Tank Regiment, the two had worked together for a short time in the GDR, Colonel Oleg left a very good impression on Serov, in terms of the importance of the Guards 65 Tank Regiment, it is impossible to cut disarmament to the Western cluster, and if you look closely, there are only three colonels in the Western Cluster in the adjustment, and they are not absorbed by other units, but directly retired, which is somewhat unusual.

"Investigate carefully, if you don't find a problem, it's a pity to get all three commanders to the KGB, and the commanders of the Western cluster will retire directly!" Serov took a pen and marked the names that needed attention, and returned the document to Lieutenant General Roman.

The only difference is that the vegetable supply in Moscow has been well received this year, and before the winter of this year, the vegetable supply in the vegetable market has become a bright spot this year, and the people of Moscow have found that their choice is much more abundant than in previous years, although the supply of vegetables is not particularly sufficient, but it also makes the people of Moscow have special expectations for the table.

It is foreseeable that the promotion of the vegetable greenhouse base will be smooth next year, and the Presidium of the Central Committee praised the work of the KGB, although this matter has nothing to do with Semychasny, but he is also praised as the new chairman of the KGB.

In the case that the immediate boss treats these subordinates equally, of course, you must value your ability to work, so Serov is not interested in the so-called incompetent siders. The current boss of the USSR is Khrushchev, and not Selepin's opponent Brezhnev, so it is certainly useful to speak with work results.

Serov has had a lot of opportunities to be with party and state leaders since this year, and this is very related to work performance, of course, this premise is that your immediate boss does not hate you. After leaving for more than two months, Serov returned to the same occasion, just in time for the New Year, just after the time of the leaders' collective vacation, but the location changed from Sochi, next to the Black Sea, to a place of hunting and pastime, Kuibyshev, who left from vacation and returned from vacation, completing a small cycle in more than two months.

"What about Cuba?" Khrushchev, who had gained a lot today, asked directly when he saw the head of his bodyguard.

"It is not surprising that in the first half of the year, an important person from Cuba will come to Moscow!" Serov replied confidently. (To be continued.) )
