Chapter 81 The U.S. Embassy

The tense kitchen debate was as if it did not exist, and the next day Serov escorted Khrushchev, Mikoyan, Brezhnev to the American embassy for a banquet, and of course the wives of these Soviet cadres. The atmosphere today was unexpected, as if there was a sense of developing friendship, and Serov knew that it was all an illusion......

Is it just a U.S. embassy? It's just a very ordinary place, looking at the basic structure and furnishings, and keeping the data in his mind, Serov didn't pay much attention to it, and it wasn't a very secret place, he had ordered one to be blown up three years ago.

Picked a few sweet tastes to taste, Serov gave up the move of continuing to rub the rice, this fucking thing is hard to swallow, how can this group of Western tastes as if they have never seen sugar, casually forked a few shrimp on the plate, Serov leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside, twenty meters away from the window there is a one-meter square brownstone, the surface of the stone is very smooth, it should have been fished out of the river, put here for ornamental stones, if you are tired of walking, you can also sit on it to rest. But in fact, this big rock has been hollowed out, and it contains the monitoring equipment of the General Administration of Technology and Management, and the entire US embassy is the monitoring range.

If you use the monitoring equipment at full power for a long time, you will experience symptoms of hair loss, dizziness, and nausea. If there are lesions in unhealthy places over the years, the probability of cancer outbreak is relatively high. But yesterday the scientists of this instrument assured Serov that there was absolutely no problem, just as the chances of a worker at a cement plant having a problem with his lungs, and no one would doubt this, and the diplomat was already under great pressure.

Eyelids, looking into the distance, you can see a state-owned construction company about 200 meters away, from time to time you can see people in dark blue overalls in and out, this is only a superficial phenomenon, the construction company that is very lively to pick up is actually the headquarters of the Seventh Department of the Second General Directorate, its department is responsible for all foreigners entering the Soviet Union, is the department of the Second General Directorate with the widest coverage area, all the places in the Soviet Union where foreigners travel are arranged by them.

Nixon, who frequently toasted to the scene, had already noticed that Serov, who was not in harmony with the scene, was out of place with the enthusiastic Soviet leader and his wife, and the young head of the secret police stood by the window and watched the scenery. The performance of everyone on this trip to the Soviet Union was expected by Nixon, who had done his homework, and the only one who made a slight impression was Brezhnev, but it was the young general with the lowest status who surprised him the most.

"General Serov doesn't seem to be interested in such a banquet?" Nixon, holding a wine glass, looked at this mysterious secret police chief, no one knew about his visit to Secretary of State Dulles before he came, but Serov knew, could it be that this most successful KGB cadre in the Soviet Union in the past ten years was so powerful?

Serov unhurriedly withdrew his gaze, looked directly at the future US president and said, "I'm thinking about what happened after Mr. Nixon left, since you came to the Soviet Union, you have delayed five painting classes and four music classes!" There are also documents accumulated in five days! ”

After speaking, Serov naturally picked up a prawn more than ten centimeters long and stuffed it into his mouth, just like a wild animal, chewing it together with the shrimp head, shrimp tail, and shrimp skin, making a crunchy sound! It's as savage as a Caspian tiger.

"It's a little special for General Serov to eat like this!" Nixon apparently thought that Serov had never eaten the prawns native to Canada, and that he had to be taught first.

"Mr. Nixon, that's how I usually eat, and eating this way saves time!" Serov smiled and said, "The Ministry of Shipping is forming an ocean-going fleet, and soon all kinds of seafood living anywhere on the planet will enter the tables of the Soviet people, and what everyone can enjoy will not become a rarity......"

Serov's attitude made the US vice president who came to the Soviet Union very uncomfortable, but Nixon could feel that Serov's attitude was not pretending, as if he usually faced others with this attitude. He guessed correctly, Serov has always faced strangers and enemies with this attitude!

"So the general is a person who has been learning, and he is very accomplished in painting and music?" Nixon launched his own counterattack, and he had already concluded in his heart that Serov, like some other Soviet cadres, should be slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, and a secret police chief would learn painting and music? It's simply not possible.

"Sketching and piano? Right now? Seeing Nixon's posture of please, Serov snorted coldly in his heart, but his face remained silent, he walked directly to the piano in the hall and sat down, tried the piano note, rejected the piano score of the pianist next to him, and tried the piano score of the pianist next to him.

Serov finished the audition, and began to play directly, the soothing piano sound flowed in the banquet, and the prelude began with everyone's hearts, Serov, who was sitting on the piano in a lieutenant general's uniform, raised his head and didn't know where to look, his hands moved like flowing water, and the rhythmic piano music came into everyone's ears. The expressionless Serov has a temperament that matches the piano music.

No one has ever heard this piano piece, although only the piano is slightly monotonous, but the unique melody still fascinates everyone, the Soviets are known for their simple and brutal appearance and melancholy delicacy in their hearts, that is, Khrushchev, who has not been exposed to this kind of music, is applauding, after the song Serov walked down, Khrushchev took the lead in applauding and said, "Look at our young people in the Soviet Union, what a moving musical ......"

"As for the painting you need, I can give you a painting before Mr. Nixon leaves!" Serov stood behind Khrushchev without changing his face, "What is the name of this piano piece?" ”

"What's the name of this piano piece?" Serov opened his mouth and closed it again, and thought for a moment, "Rhapsody......"

"It's called Serov's rhapsody......" Khrushchev waved his big hand and settled down very happily, making the corners of Serov's mouth twitch, this can be regarded as plagiarism, it is obviously called Croatian rhapsody!

After the dinner, Khrushchev invited the Nixons to their suburban villa, which before the October Revolution was the Tsar's summer residence and was almost as large as the White House. After the October Revolution, it became Stalin's dacha, and later it went into the hands of Khrushchev. The villa is surrounded by beautiful lawns and gardens, and on one side is a forest with a marble staircase leading to the banks of the Moscow River. Khrushchev had already sent people to welcome Nixon's arrival at the gate of the villa.
