Chapter 892: Fighting for a Neutral State

The confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States put the IOC in an extremely embarrassing situation, but there was no way, the arms could not be twisted into the thighs, and once the confrontation between the two countries began, it was not something that could be solved by an international organization at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Not to mention the IOC, even the UN, as long as the USSR and the United States wanted to, it would immediately cease to exist. When will the United Nations be able to solve the problem? Except when China, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union take a common attitude, such as on such occasions, "Who is below?" Why do you want to sue this officer? "Under normal circumstances, the five major powers do not have a common language, so the United Nations basically can't solve anything, and the United States advocates three-nautical-mile territorial waters, because it has the best navy in the world. The Soviet Union recognized, so the Japanese and South Korean fishing boats went out for three nautical miles, and whether they were safe or not depended on the mood of the Soviet Navy.

Now that the opposition between the IOC is so serious, it is impossible to solve the problem by expelling half of the members at once. Since it is no longer possible to choose a side between the Soviet Union and the United States, it can only be saved by mud. Hot face to cold ass, closed eyes and said that the international games in Moscow are also part of the Olympic Games, leaving a little face for the IOC.

"We don't agree, it's an insult to the Olympics, Los Angeles has been preparing for this Olympics for a long time, and it will never share it with Moscow, and the IOC's acquiescence to Moscow's actions is an ostrich mentality. The problem was not solved at all, it only allowed the whole world to see the hegemony of the USSR. The representative of the US Olympic Committee protested loudly.

"I understand the mood of the U.S. Olympic Committee, but I believe that the United States does not want to see the IOC divided into two parts, right?" As the president of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch is of course reluctant to confront the United States under normal circumstances, but the Soviet Union is also something he cannot confront him, especially the general secretary who holds all his secrets.

Choosing the Soviet Union may be put in small shoes, and choosing the United States may be ruined, this deal is not difficult to weigh the pros and cons, Samaranch has worked with Franco, and he will definitely not be a person who is desperate for ideals.

Samaranch's words made all the members kick in their hearts, once the IOC is disintegrated and divided into two pro-Soviet and pro-American organizations, the importance of these people will naturally drop significantly, and the most direct consequence is that some countries may not pay attention to their officials, and this will be followed by a reduction in funding, which will harm the interests of everyone.

Don't look at Samaranch as the president of the IOC, who said that those who work in sports are not politicians? Samaranch is not only a politician, but also a veteran. If nothing else, the loss of interests in the wake of the IOC's split is enough to make the officials of these member states make a choice.

Human beings are made up of one circle after another, and for them, the IOC is their common circle, that is, the collection of interests, without which they have no interests. Both political and economic status will decline, as will the ability to raise funds.

Faced with such consequences, why did the IOC confront the Soviet Union? On the contrary, many countries only blame the United States and the Soviet Union for creating this problem, but even more dissatisfied is, why don't Americans bow to the Soviets? The United States is rich in its business, but not all countries are as rich as the United States? Americans should sacrifice when the common good is at stake.

"What kind of bullshit logic is this? The matter was obviously provoked by the Soviets, and if the Los Angeles Olympics were not boycotted, how could there be so many things? Why are they blaming the United States now? "The officials of the U.S. Olympic Committee scolded in their hearts, these Olympic Committee officials who were covered with the smell of copper, this is disgusting.

The process of the IOC meeting in Lausanne was quickly sent to Moscow. The president of the IOC is the KGB, how can the Americans turn the tables? What's more, isn't this about the distribution of benefits?

"These officials who are covered in the smell of copper are so cute!" Serov squinted his glasses and commented that the general secretary of a socialist country now admires these officials, while the representative of a country, the last bastion of capitalism, accuses the IOC of being full of copper stench, how interesting is the world?

At this time, Moscow is restarting the major venues of the Moscow Olympic Games, and souvenirs and related industry items are also being produced, to make money with the Olympic Games, in this historical time and space, Serov, who was still the chairman of the KGB at that time, can be regarded as a teacher of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, at least he earned back the money that the Soviet Union built major stadiums.

During the Moscow Olympics, Serov also invited the president of Pepsi to designate Pepsi as the official drink for the Olympic Games, which helped Pepsi to gain popularity. If you want to say that the company in the world is the most hostile to the Soviet Union, it is Pepsi's rival Coca-Cola Company, not only did the Soviet Union not let Coca-Cola in, but the allies of the Soviet Union only sold Pepsi.

Relying on the socialist camp, Pepsi is approaching Coca-Cola's leading position in the industry more rapidly than history, and every year Pepsi Cola's celebration in the Soviet Union, Coca-Cola has to take out Coca-Cola and frame it......

"A grand event of peace is about to be held in Moscow, and Pepsi and the great Soviet people together are running towards a better tomorrow!" Pepsi Coke looked like it was born to hate itself as an American, and as soon as the Soviet Union announced the holding of the International Democratic Games, Pepsi began to adjust the focus of its work, and began to operate the propaganda of the Moscow International Democratic Games under the scolding of Coca-Cola. This is a market in dozens of countries, how can Pepsi think about whether it is such a trivial thing as an American company?

It's a pity that this is a treatment unique to Pepsi, and Toyota wants to follow up, but Japan, under pressure from the United States, has to give up its traditional market, the Soviet Union. The fact that the United States is unable to clean up its multinational enterprises does not mean that it is also merciful to Japan, which has trade frictions with the United States.

"How to choose? This makes us very embarrassed, because the attitude of the Soviet Union is clear, and it talks about class feelings, camp issues, and inducements and threats. If we don't participate, what do dozens of countries think of us? A voice sighed, this is a multiple-choice question, but it is indeed a very difficult multiple-choice question.

The biggest problem is security, including the Soviet Union, which is surrounded by pro-Soviet countries, and if the Soviet Union is not satisfied, it will be enough to put a small part of the 100,000 tanks in Europe in the north. Should military spending be raised? How much higher?

"We can participate in the International Democratic Games and the Olympics at the same time, divided into two delegations, impartially, and I believe that Serov will also be satisfied, this is not an excuse for the USSR to make trouble. It was good for the USSR. Another voice suggested.

"Participating in the International Democratic Games and the Olympic Games, is this China's attitude?" Serov, who was in the Kremlin, leaned back in his chair and thought as if he was overworked, and suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, in fact, this kind of statement is good for our Soviet Union, and those old revolutionaries are really not to be underestimated." ”

This matter is actually very understandable, if the Soviet Union and the United States are fighting to the death because of the Olympics, the boycott and counter-boycott will continue. Then the end result is that each with its allies will play in the mud behind closed doors. The Los Angeles Olympics in the United States will certainly become the Americas Games, the Soviet Union's International Democratic Games, and the same as the Socialist Games with obvious colors, or the Eurasian Games, but even so, because the Soviet Union boycotted first, it still took advantage. To reduce the number of participants in the Los Angeles Olympics is to win.

But once many countries are divided into two delegations, it will be different, the participating countries of the two games will increase, and many countries will be relieved to learn from China, and they will not offend the United States or the Soviet Union. But because the socialist countries led by the Soviet Union will certainly not participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, perhaps more countries will participate in the International Democratic Games in Moscow than in the Los Angeles Olympics, so the Soviet Union will be more advantageous.

In this case, of course, the Soviet Union had no excuse to attack, and had to go down the steps, so it was amazing......

"Maybe Italy and France will soon follow." Serov said to Gromyko, "Don't think that I haven't noticed that in recent years, the relationship between China and the Communist Party of Western Europe has become closer and closer. ”

Soon, the president of the Italian Council of Ministers, Behringer, announced that because of the close economic ties between Italy and the Soviet Union, Italy would participate in the International Democratic Games, but at the same time it would also participate in the Los Angeles Olympics. The next day, the French Communist Party also announced that an impartial and independent France would send two delegations to Los Angeles and Moscow in the hope that the Soviet Union and the United States would return to peaceful relations.

The French Communist Party is also the largest party in France, but the French president is Francois Mitterrand of the Socialist Party, because the French electoral system has two rounds to prevent a radical party from becoming the president of France. In the first round of the election, French voters will see the strength of the major political parties clearly, and finally reject the parties that are too radical in the second round of voting.

As a result, the French Communist Party often wins in the first round of elections, only to be pulled out by coalitions in the second round. The general secretary of the French Communist Party has been the speaker of the French parliament for several years, but he has never been the general secretary. But no one underestimated the influence of the French Communist Party.

Although the three powers all stated that they would not offend either the Soviet Union and the United States, the Soviet Union and the United States sent diplomats to travel between countries to continue to woo third world countries and prevent them from participating in each other's games.

Until the last moment, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union knew whose games would have more countries participating, and the diplomatic war for neutral countries continued until the opening of the two games.
