For the first time in Latin America held the World Congress of Communist Parties, Chile also attaches great importance to Allende's support in the government is not bad at present, in fact, it is different from the general belief, when he first became president, Allende's own party, the Socialist Party, only had a support rate of more than 30 percent, and in the year of Allende's military coup, the Socialist Party had already occupied more than 40 percent of the seats in the parliamentary elections.

Allende's growing support in the midst of the economic crisis, and the fact that the turmoil did not weaken the Socialist Party was the reason why the United States finally supported the Chilean military in carrying out a coup d'état. Following the arrival of delegations from the Soviet Union and Cuba, the GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Albania, Indonesia, Iraq, Sudan, and Vietnam at war sent high-profile delegations to the World Congress of Communist Parties in Santiago.

In addition to these ruling parties, more than 90 communist and workers' parties from all continents came to Santiago, and as time went on, everyone in Chile was waiting for this congress, which was a good propaganda opportunity for the supporters of President Allende, who also took advantage of this congress and publicly expressed his willingness to accept the proposals of any other fraternal party to make Chile better and better.

With the encouragement of the government, the World Communist Party Congress held in Chile has attracted the attention of the whole Chilean people. Everyone's political enthusiasm was fully mobilized and they waited patiently for the convening of the conference. In front of the venue where the congress was held, more than a dozen flagpoles had been hung with the flags of socialist countries, including the Chilean flag, and in this way Allende showed his determination to take the socialist road.

This action made the Christian Democratic Party quite complaining, but under the holding of this international event, it was only mentioned and did not continue to say anything, the Christian Democratic Party exists in most Western European countries and Latin American countries, but there is a difference between the two regions, most of the Christian Democratic Party in Western Europe and the second international social party in Western Europe are in the center-right and left-left positions respectively, the Christian Democratic Party belongs to the party that is biased towards the conservative party, while the Christian Democratic Party in Latin American countries is usually more left-leaning, The Socialist Party and the Communist Party had good relations, otherwise the Christian Democrats would not have formed an alliance with President Allende, even though the alliance was now about to break down.

On 8 October, in anticipation of the great anticipation, the World Congress of Communist Parties and Workers' Parties was held. President Allende and General Secretary of the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev, Cuba's Fidel Castro, GDR Erich? Honeck, Romania's Ceausescu, Bulgaria's Zhivkov, and many other leaders first held a group photo at the venue, which would make headlines in Chile's national newspapers the next day.

"It smells of passion." Serov stood aside and muttered to himself, he really couldn't accept the gesture of a group of old men holding hands, standing side by side and waving, this gesture would be acceptable if it appeared in a group of elementary school students.

After a group photo of the leaders of many countries and representatives of the communist parties of various countries, President Allende announced the official opening of the congress, and President Allende stood on the rostrum and delivered a speech, "Comrades and friends, today we are solemnly gathered here to celebrate the convening of the World Congress of Communist Parties and Workers' Parties, to review the glorious course of the unremitting struggle of communists all over the world since 1918, and to look forward to the bright future of the development of the socialist cause, which is the socialist revolution, The establishment of the basic socialist system, the elimination of all exploitation systems, and the promotion of socialist construction. The significance of this great historical contribution lies in the fact that it has completed the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of the world, laid the fundamental political premise and institutional foundation for all development and progress in the contemporary world, and laid a solid foundation for the development and prosperity of backward countries. To hold a grand gathering of communists from all over the world, once again I welcome Comrade Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Soviet Union, and Erich, General Secretary of the GDR. Comrade Honecker, Comrade Ceausescu of Romania ......"

With the words of President Allende, Brezhnev, Erich? Honeck, Ceausescu, Castro and others stood up and waved, causing bursts of applause from the venue.

Subsequently, President Allende, as the host, first introduced the achievements of Chile's socialist reforms, nationalizing the copper, saltpeter, and iron mines formerly controlled by US capital and coal mines operated by private capital, and nationalizing five copper mines controlled by US capital, including Chuquikamata, Teniente, Salvador, Andina, and Exotica, and at the same time announcing the establishment of a copper mining tribunal to hear various cases arising from the nationalization of copper mines.

Land reform. The Allende government hastened up land reform, expropriating more than 8 million hectares of land from more than 4,000 large landowners, establishing state farms, collective cooperatives, or directly distributing land to peasant households. There are also related issues such as improving industrial efficiency and eradicating illiteracy, which illustrate Chile's achievements in this reform.

Then Brezhnev also talked about the five-year plan of the Soviet Union, the implementation of the new economic system, the improvement of efficiency and the profit of factories, and Brezhnev spoke very slowly, leaving plenty of time for the translator. Just like himself, he gave an unhurried but unobtrusive introduction to the situation of the Soviet Union, which explained the optimistic attitude of the Soviet Union's prospects, and also did not mention the high growth rate that is still continuing; after Brezhnev finished speaking, Ceausescu and Zhivkov both introduced the construction of their own countries in the economic field, and Indonesia, Iraq, and Sudan, the three start-up countries, introduced the situation of their own countries.

These people took a few hours to speak, and this kind of conference is usually relatively boring, but the time of such a world-class conference is indefinite, and many of the people present are the top leaders of the country and the general secretaries of various parties. All the participants in the meeting listened in a clear state, and of course many people exchanged ears, far from the atmosphere of seriousness in the Soviet Union.

The first day of the conference was like a commendation meeting, where all countries presented their best looks. The experiences of various countries occupy a large part of the pages of Chilean newspapers, but they also attract some skepticism, after all, there are other parties in Chile, and it is not objective to think that everyone has the best in themselves.

But the next day's congress immediately changed the situation, after discussing the situation of the world socialist movement, the secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union Andropov, with a sincere attitude, after seeking the consent of President Allende, began to criticize the reform in Chile, and the words were relatively unpolite, "Criminal behavior has not been curbed, there are many addicts in Chile, and a normal person should not be controlled by drugs, this is my first impression of Chile." ”

"It's kind of a slap in the face." Andropov and Allende didn't react yet, and Serov thought it was coming at him, although Andropov probably didn't know it. During their visit to Santiago, the two found that Chile has a very serious drug and product problem, and it is not uncommon for some people to be seriously poisoned. Returning to the hotel, Serov specifically asked the cadres of the Latin American Office of the First General Administration how many markets were controlled by drug lords who had a cooperative relationship with the Latin American Division. The conclusion was a surprise to sixty-five percent of the Chilean market.

Andropov only mentioned this aspect, because other problems were much more serious. Including inflation, due to excessive demand, there is a shortage of commodities in Chile, and prices continue to rise, with an inflation rate as high as 14 percent, and the government's methods of limiting supply and freezing prices have caused the prices of basic necessities such as rice, soybeans, sugar, and flour on the black market to skyrocket.

After Andropov's speech, the atmosphere of the whole venue changed instantly, and everyone did not understand, did the Soviet Union want to criticize President Allende? Romania's Ceausescu immediately stood up to defend Chile, and Bulgarian General Secretary Zhivkov wanted to say not to attack Chile in such harsh terms.

At this time, Serov walked to the podium, which made the atmosphere even more solidified, and he himself forgot that the theory of limited sovereignty in this time and space was put forward by him himself, and in the eyes of some countries, he was much more odious than Brezhnev.

Serov had just criticized Chile's policy, and soon Brezhnev let him go down and said to President Allende, "Comrade Andropov and Comrade Serov have recently visited some places in Chile and discovered a lot of problems. As for some existing problems, I believe that President Allende will not deny it, because the personalities of the two comrades are quite fierce, one of them has been on the battlefield, and the other is an important general of the military himself, so his rhetoric is a bit fierce, and I hope President Allende can understand this. ”

"General Secretary Brezhnev, I am not a person who cannot accept criticism. Personally, I believe that the two comrades have no ill will. "President Allende is not outraged by the criticism he has just made, because these are all problems in Chile.

Brezhnev nodded, Andropov and Serov's criticism was to replace what he wanted to say, as the general secretary of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev also needed to avoid these impressions of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, the topic had come out, his goal had been achieved, and the original intention of this conference was to solve the Chilean problem.
