"Negotiations are negotiations, and hopefully President Reagan will be more sincere. The pen and the fun and the cabinet www.biquge.info use force to force the opponent to submit, and it is okay to deal with ordinary countries, but it is still a little bit better to deal with the Soviet Union. Serov yawned and said indifferently, "Besides, it's not just the Soviet Union. North Africa was not an area of interest for the Soviet Union, as I am sure you understand. ”

The other player is naturally France, and the United States and the Soviet Union have to deal with it with all their might if they want to confront each other, so how can they have the spare strength to clean up the French? Unless Reagan could trade a major profit in exchange, Serov was not afraid, and he also seized on the weakness of France, the Algerian Workers' Party, a full member of the Comintern. The entanglement of interests between the country and the country is not simply clear, and the French themselves have the most say in how to weigh and choose.

"But I have to wonder whether the Soviet Union's position is really trying to save the hostages, as you say, or whether it is silently smearing the United States." What Reagan actually wanted to ask was whether he was discrediting him.

"To save people, of course!" The main thing is to discredit you personally, Serov doesn't care, and now this situation is uncomfortable who knows. The main reason why Reagan is not as anxious as Carter is that Reagan has been re-elected. But this does not mean that this group of hostages is not important, Reagan wants to step down safely, not to be scolded to step down, but to properly handle the hostage crisis.

The USSR was not in a hurry in this matter, it was something else to be in a hurry, but to release a certain amount of smoke bombs to ensure real benefits. Not everything can be resolved in the field of diplomacy, and many protracted negotiations do not matter what the final outcome is. The endless talk is actually in exchange for concessions elsewhere. Or waiting for another event to happen to break the deadlock, no different from clocking in and out.

Serov did not understand this truth before, but now he understands, so he generally does not put his hope on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Instead, it is up to the KGB to solve the problem, and when it really comes to the point of no return, it is trying to figure out a way from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In his eyes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just a communication channel, and it can only be used to communicate with the United States at a real critical moment.

Now there are two people, one is the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the other is the president of the United States. is no longer a big spy and a third-rate actor, and the situation of hating each other like just now will no longer appear. The temptation that began little by little now, accompanied by the confusion of the other party, is thinking about whether there is a possibility of being small and big.

On the issue of the Libyan hostages, it was Reagan who was more anxious. Serov is also anxious about other issues, and it is also a kind of confusion to put so many questions to talk about at once. to cover up the real purpose.

Soon Reagan also calmed down and began to test Serov on other topics, and he did not believe that the Soviet Union did not have the slightest place to ask the United States, and it was certainly impossible to do nothing. If that were the case, there would have been no such meeting.

The reason is too simple, if the Soviet Union did not have a place to turn to the United States for help, and had an advantage in all fields, how could it be possible for General Secretary Serov to come out and meet with him? There must have been a topic of great concern to the USSR, the question is which one exactly is this proposal? And so the second round of Reagan's temptations began......

Regarding the strategic missile defense system, that is, the defense system that Reagan launched the Star Wars program, and the Soviet Union decided to meet. First of all, Reagan indifferently stated the US position, that the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty must not be tied to the Star Wars program.

"Trying to change the status quo is very dangerous, and the United States will not necessarily win." Serov replied very coldly, "Once the United States loses, the Soviet Union's nuclear superiority will become an absolute superiority, and I really don't know if the Americans will regret choosing you." ”

"How can the U.S. technology be able to lose?" Reagan was very confident in his country's technology, and of course did not forget to observe Serov's expression when he spoke, and this dialogue was still tentative.

Reagan believed that among the things he was talking about today there must be issues that the Soviet Union really cared about, but he did not know it yet. The two mentioned the Libyan hostage issue, the Star Wars program and the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty, respectively. The words are very restrained, and through the other party's expressions and movements, figure out which aspect is the weakness of the other party.

It's not easy to see through an actor's disguise, but Serov can do it, and at the same time use what he heard and witnessed in the KGB to prevent Reagan from seeing the flaws in himself. Two hours later, the two came out of the small building, performed another wave in front of the waiting reporters, and went out directly to their residences by car.

"This Serov has been a spy for decades, and he has done a good job of disguise, I can see where his bottom line is, and he is a difficult person to deal with." After returning home, Reagan said to his wife, Nancy.

"Although Reagan is an actor, there is no one I can't see through, he thinks Star Wars is the most important, very good, I am playing with her for two days." Serov didn't bring his wife with him, Valya didn't like the Icelandic climate, and the Soviet Union's seasonal tourism was a tradition, and she would never leave the sun and sand in the summer to come to Iceland to see the seaweed.

This kind of thing has always been said by women at home, but the big ones are at home, aren't there still small ones around? Such a trifle could not be concealed from the old rascal, and after taking the water of little Valya, Serov began to think about the temptation that followed.

I believe that this is also Reagan's idea, and in different places, this confrontation continues, as in the context of the Cold War.

It is generally believed that the most important thing for the Soviet Union should be the Star Wars program, and if Reagan can be allowed to abandon the Star Wars program, it will fundamentally ease the increasingly tense relations between the United States and the Soviet Union since the 80s. What did most of the cadres of other countries and the USSR, and even the important newspapers of the USSR think. But Serov just thinks that it is more important to sign the intermediate-range missile treaty, anyway, Serov also knows that Star Wars basically has no effect, and strategic defense and missile penetration are not difficult things at all, so he is naturally not afraid of Reagan's mouth cannon.

From today's contacts, he also felt that Reagan was no different from ordinary people's thinking, and that the strategic missile defense system was the biggest move he had taken so far when he was in place, and he would definitely not give up because of the Soviet Union's proposal. On the contrary, little attention has been paid to the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty, which is only a consolation to Western Europeans, a by-product of this meeting.

"That's fine, let's talk about Star Wars tomorrow." Serov muttered to himself, ready to talk to Reagan himself about the president's proud work, which revolved around Star Wars to start the next day's meeting.

The deception of the two men, who pretended to be intimate and spread around the world through journalists in Iceland, had a huge effect, and even some of the more optimistic media in Europe predicted that the worst of the times was behind and that both the Soviet Union and the United States had to accept the reality that the other side would live in the same world for a long time.

This reality can be accepted by many countries, but both Serov and Reagan feel that this kind of humiliation cannot be accepted. Even if there is only a very slim chance, both will choose to let the other die.

Iceland's population is so small, although Icelanders know that there are two big people in their country, but they still live as usual, and in the 80s, Icelanders continued to do their traditional projects, working in factories and going to the sea to fish. Of course, there are also some tourists from Europe, but they are still negligible compared to the former.

Unlike these Icelanders, who go from sunrise to sunset, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union continues here. Serov was not afraid that most of the country would be unfriendly to the USSR, anyway, the Kirov battlecruiser had a nuclear bomb on its face, and he did anything to ensure his own safety.

"If we keep talking about it like this, it will be meaningless, and the United States still lacks sincerity." Serov returned what Reagan said yesterday, and the Soviet Union has always advocated discussing the issue of medium-range missiles together with the Star Wars program. The United States has always refused, this was the decision of the USSR Foreign Ministry itself, and he, as General Secretary, did not interfere.

Now that the issue of the Star Wars program is being taken out, Serov also said that he is very attentive to this matter and shows an attitude.

The mutual temptation of the two continues, and this kind of psychological relief is very boring, but it is a necessary process. For most of the meeting, Serov was talking about the Star Wars plan, and of course, he couldn't do the kind of coercion that Goto, but took the launch of the Soviet Mir space station, showing that the Soviet technology was stronger, and the Americans simply could not win.

"Isn't the launch of the Mir space station telling? Especially after the US Challenger volley exploded at the beginning of the year, the problem of the reliability of the technology of the two countries can be put to an end. ”

As long as the goal can be achieved, the general secretary will not care about the things that pull hatred, and what about revealing the scars. When the United States disgusted the USSR less? Reagan was unmoved on this issue and answered unhurriedly, "But the last space race was the first time that the United States landed on the moon, and the general secretary seemed to be more forgetful......

"Fighting a hundred battles and winning once, this can also be a reason to boast, it's the first time I've seen it." Serov looked at Reagan teasingly, and said with a frivolous expression, "The shamelessness of the United States in the media is really worth learning." ”

The whole world was watching the meeting between the two, and as time went on, Reagan also understood that the real purpose of the Soviet Union was to hope that the United States would abandon the Star Wars program, and knowing this, Reagan relieved himself and prepared to make concessions to the Soviet Union.

"As soon as the intermediate-range missile treaty is signed, I will try to dismantle all intermediate-range missiles within two years, and this process must be accelerated, when our biggest threat will disappear, and we can increase our efforts in other directions."
