Chapter 56: Not Alone
"Little girl, I know you're looking for trouble, but you're still too tender!" Although Serov sat in place, he had an invincible demeanor, "I have dealt with you Americans much more times than the Soviets you interviewed, and the people who know you the United States best are not only you Americans themselves, but also us!" I suggest that when you ask questions in future interviews, you should first consult the editor-in-chief of your media, otherwise even if I am willing to cooperate with you, you will not be able to publish a word......"
"Oh? We are a country of free speech, maybe Mr. Serov does not understand us America! As if enraged, the female reporter asked questions about the friction between the Soviet garrison and the population, the rights of the KGB, and the Soviet mistreatment of German prisoners of war.
Serov answered questions about the extraterritoriality of the US garrison, the analysis of the rights of the CIA and the FBI, and the Rhine battalion, and then raised his hand to stop the female reporter and said, "As a competitor, the Soviet Union knows your homeland better than you, a fledgling young journalist, and the people who know you best are actually your enemies!" The work being done in the USSR is the same as in the United States, there is no obvious difference between the two, and naturally it is impossible to mention who is more noble! Everyone knows the blood feud between the Soviet Union and Germany in the war more than ten years ago, Germany killed millions of prisoners of war in our Soviet Union, and we also did not politely return the salute, it was a revenge for losing our minds during the war! You Americanly are not qualified to criticize this, and if you have doubts about what I say, then you can dig up the ground of the Rhine camp with a shovel, and I myself am very curious about how many Germans are lying in it! ”
"I've been talking nonsense for so long, can this Miss American journalist sit down now? Anyway, you can't say a word about what I said, and the US government will definitely say that this matter is reasonable at that time, either to prove that there were not many deaths in the Rhine camp at all, or to admit that the beacon of the free world did the same thing as the Soviet Union! As for how many bones of German prisoners of war were buried inside, you will know if you dig them up! Serov snorted and began to answer other questions, and today's question and answer of Miss America Serov could have answered them all, but as he said, he answered that the newspaper would not publish it. Even all the journalists present will not publish.
It's good to listen to such a thing as freedom of speech, but don't take it for granted. It is simply too simple to let a young journalist never be hired by the newspaper, the Soviet Union can do it by order of the state, and the United States can do it through the operation of capital.
What Serov said touched on a lot of things that the US government could never change for at least a few decades, and since it could not be changed, it was naturally not allowed to be discussed, so how could objections appear in the newspapers?
The reverse is also true, if any of the eight lambs dares to exercise public ownership in the Soviet Union, as a KGB, he must immediately show his value, first ask the General Health Care Bureau to contact the local hospital to issue a psychiatric diagnosis, and depending on the severity of the situation, detain him on the spot or send him directly to Kazan for centralized management. Every country has something that cannot be compromised, and you must always ensure that you are in the same state as the vast majority of people.
"General Serov, what is the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the blockade of West Berlin by the Berlin Wall!" The female reporter in the back row got up and asked.
"You're a reporter for the Süddeutsche Zeitung? Well, after all, the German nation is involved, and I can answer you this question, in fact, this question has nothing to do with today's meeting! Serov crossed his fingers and thought for a moment, then said into the microphone, "The Soviet Union does not take a position on this matter, but will support any decision made by the GDR!" Since the Berlin Wall was built by the GDR and now that it has been built, the Soviet Union will support it, and this is an international obligation that the Soviet Union must fulfill, and we naturally have to stand on the side of fraternal countries! ”
"But so many people have been quarantined, and no one wants to think about their feelings?"
"I can give you an answer personally, remember that it is me personally, and my words do not represent the Soviet Union!" Serov put away all his arrogance, had a different attitude towards different countries, and made sure that he faced only one enemy at a time, leaving others in a wait-and-see state, which Serov learned from Germany in World War II, although in the end Germany got away with it.
"The economy of the Federal Republic of Germany is in an advantageous position, which originally depended on the industriousness of the people and the assistance of the United States, there is nothing to say about the fairness, but there is an immoral point that uses West Berlin as a springboard to suck blood from the GDR, the GDR has been experiencing negative population growth for more than ten years, there is no talk of economic development at all, how can people develop without people! If the population is not stopped, the population of the GDR will disappear in thirty years! Now the GDR is more than two million people less than it was fourteen years ago, and if we in the USSR are a little selfish, we should let this situation continue to develop, and when the time comes, it will become a no-man's land and can be considered terra nullius annexation to the USSR! "In fact, we did not, and our support for the construction of the Berlin Wall in the GDR just proves that the Soviet Union has no ambitions for the territory of the GDR and wants to develop the cause of socialism like many fraternal countries......
"Well said!" As soon as Serov's words fell, he was met with fierce applause, and most of them were Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and other countries, and these reporters applauded Serov's speech.
These reporters are in the socialist camp and very much agree with Serov's speech just now, which makes Serov, who is sitting on it, feel in a trance that part of the world's discourse in this era is not in the hands of the Western world, which is much better than a few lonely socialist countries in later generations.
Although the generation that grew up in China still received socialist education, every time they looked at the world map, there was a question, why are there only five countries in the world that are the same as themselves? In fact, there is only one, and the remaining four countries can make them the same as Rwanda if the United States uses the rules at the touch of a finger.
In fact, there used to be many countries like China, and compared with the later generations when China faced the world like an outlier, the current situation of the Soviet Union has been much better, at least someone listens when you speak, instead of telling you to shut up. When a few decades later, China has come to the same position as the Soviet Union, in the same position as the Soviet Union, looking around at a loss, except for itself and itself. I don't know if China thought about it at that time, the big brother of the Soviet Union a few decades ago was also in his place, but there were at least some countries behind him, and he didn't want it to want one country to face the whole world.
At least for now, Serov feels that this road to socialism, which is destined to be very difficult, is not alone.
