Chapter 891: Samaranch

"Any country participating in the Los Angeles Olympics is an enemy of peace, and the orphans and widows of Grenada have not yet received an apology from the United States, especially from Reagan. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info "After the May Day parade in Moscow, Gromyko, who was running around the allies of the Soviet Union, officially said that either the venue would be in Moscow or he would not participate in the Los Angeles Olympics.

"It is very shameless for the Soviets to associate sports with politics." When Reagan learned of this, he openly said that "the hostility of the Soviet Union was unjustified, and the personal reasons of General Secretary Serov occupied the main factor." ”

"Reagan does not apologize in the name of the country, the Soviet Union will never participate in this Olympic Games, now I want to see which country is willing to participate in this Olympic Games, as a friend of the Grenada, the Soviet Union can provide civil aviation to help Grenada participate in this Olympic Games, after all, the Soviet Union is a big country in charge." This kind of air cannon can make Serov, who is thick-skinned over the city walls, succumb? This kind of thinking is simply an insult to the profession of the head of the secret service.

The Olympic Movement has experienced ups and downs since its revival. Los Angeles is facing the most serious crisis, threatening the development of the Olympic Movement. While Los Angeles was in full swing to prepare for the Olympics, the U.S. military invaded Grenada, a move that was immediately condemned by world public opinion and caused a crisis in the Los Angeles Olympics, and Serov began to seek ways to sanction the United States. Serov, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, issued a statement: If the United States does not apologize and compensate in the dual name of the state and the president, the Soviet Union will boycott the Los Angeles Olympics.

This time, the battlefield between the Soviet Union and the United States was based on the Olympic Games, and Serov, who was lucky enough to avoid the last boycott, soon made a move at the Los Angeles Olympics, and Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko and First Deputy Minister Dobrynin went abroad one after another to visit pro-Soviet countries and neutral countries non-stop.

"India and China have the highest prestige among the neutral countries, so these two countries are the most important, as long as the support of these two countries is obtained, this Olympic Games will inevitably become the American Games, no matter what method is used, whether it is a cultural attack or a military force, interests or class feelings, China and India must join the boycott." Even if you participate, you can't participate in the name of the country. Let's talk about the former first, then the latter, and it's better to leave neither India nor China involved. "This was Serov's task to the USSR Foreign Ministry.

Serov knew that this boycott must hold the neutral powers, otherwise it would not be able to win completely, and the biggest reason why the Soviet boycott failed in history was that China participated in the Los Angeles Olympics, as the second largest country in the socialist camp, China's participation in the Soviet Union was a huge embarrassment, and at the same time exposed the real situation that the Soviet camp was not monolithic. Romania, Yugoslavia and other socialist countries participated in the Los Angeles Olympics, marking the failure of the Soviet boycott.

The Soviet Union was unable to win over even the countries of its own camp, let alone the neutral countries of the Third World, and in the end only nineteen countries participated in the Soviet boycott. For the Americans, the promise of the Chinese team to participate in the competition was inspiring and brought surprises to the United States. The good news continued that only 19 countries and regions boycotted or did not participate for some reason, and finally athletes from 140 countries and regions participated in this Olympic Games, which is far more than in previous editions. Among the Eastern European countries, Romania and Yugoslavia also participated in the Games, and the audience at the opening ceremony greeted the brave men who broke through the political barrier with applause.

For the Soviet Union, it was a complete failure, especially compared to the Moscow Olympics four years ago. The two boycotts initiated by the United States and the Soviet Union made it clear at once that the real balance of power was apparent. It is easy to see who has more supporters, and the current favorable conditions are that the Moscow Olympics have not been boycotted, and naturally there is no comparison. This is the unilateral disgust of the big spy boss Reagan.

The boycott and counter-boycott surrounding the Los Angeles Olympics have become a hot topic recently, and in the past few days, more than 40 countries have announced their participation in the boycott in response to the Soviet Union's call.

"In what name do you persuade me? Is it the IOC president who is pressuring me, or is it the name of his subordinates who is making recommendations to me? You tell me? Comrade Samaranch? You won't forget how you became president of the IOC, right? It's not the USSR nodding, you have the qualifications to shuttle back and forth between the countries of the world? Serov stared indifferently at the IOC president in front of him, and said slowly, "What position do you stand to talk to me?" Forgot how the KGB helped you? ”

"General Secretary, I am the president of the International Olympic Committee, and of course I have to find a way to save this Olympics." Samaranch, who knows Russian, was Spain's ambassador to the Soviet Union, but he joined the KGB much longer than that.

"At the same time, it is also to save the gambling industry that is linked to your interests?" Serov snorted coldly and said unconcernedly, "What? Is it delaying some people to make money, don't be in a hurry to deny it, I know a lot about the gambling industry, and even you know better. ”

Of course, the head of the big spy knows this very well, he has a good relationship with UEFA and FIFA, it is simply a relationship of sharing the spoils, but this is a national confrontation, he is the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and this little money would rather not be earned.

"Isn't that great? Moscow is about to host the World Democratic Games, and you can understand that this Olympics is a joint event between Moscow and Los Angeles, but it is divided into two venues. "Samaranch's current status, Serov is not easy to blame as a real subordinate, and it is not easy to support an IOC president.

Samaranch is a person who can be used for at least a few decades, and it is a good deal for the KGB department.

"Can it be advertised like that?" Samaranch's voice was a bit submissive, and he didn't dare to assert himself, even when he faced Reagan and Carter. And since he was absorbed by the KGB, his whole world has changed, and now everyone feels untrustworthy, and there is even a thought in his heart that as long as he chooses to betray, he will be killed immediately.

Since becoming the president of the International Olympic Committee, this feeling has not disappeared, and even in Samaranch's eyes, many well-known figures in the world may be members of the KGB. This feeling is quite right, even GΓΌnther, the second-in-command of the Socialist Party of the Federal Republic of Germany? Guillaume was a member of the Stasi, and there were several world-renowned bigwigs in the KGB.

"You can advertise that, but the USSR will not respond." Serov, who had his back to Samaranch, said unhurriedly, "But the Soviet Union will not object to this kind of propaganda, and this is also for the sake of your work." The boycott will continue, and it won't stop just because you're here. ”

When Samaranch heard this, he knew that this persuasion had been futile, and because of the attitude of the Soviet Union. The Eastern European countries will certainly not lift the boycott, but the work will continue, and he will have to prove to the Americans that he is indeed saving the Olympics hosted by the United States, even if it is superficial.

Under the will of countries like the United States and the Soviet Union, there is also very little that an IOC president can do. Samaranch's rush was doomed to be futile, because the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan did not take place, without contrasting circumstances. This time, the Soviet Union's boycott of the Los Angeles Olympics was not a counterattack, but a unilateral embarrassment of the United States. Personally, it was Reagan walking down the street, and Serov in the corner suddenly appeared and gave him a brick, turned and ran.

On 8 May, Serov, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, officially announced in Moscow that Moscow would host the International Democratic Games, which would be held at the time of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, which would open on the afternoon of 28 July. All the major Olympic stadiums in Moscow will be reopened, and all peace-loving countries in the world are welcome to participate.

After this news was released by the Soviet news agency TASS, another earthquake was set off around the world, and all countries understood that this time the Soviet Union was playing seriously, not only to boycott the Los Angeles Olympics, but also to host its own World Games at the same time.

"The actions of the Soviet Union are dividing the world, which is tantamount to world peace. We all understand that this is not a problem of Grenada, but of the country of the USSR. The White House spokesman with a heavy face accused the Soviet Union of unilateral provocations, "A divided world is not conducive to the development of the cause of peace, and the United States believes that the Soviet Union has become a threat to world peace." ”

"This is not what a country that is supporting the Nicaraguan rebels should say!" Dobrynin, the first deputy minister of the Soviet Foreign Ministry, who was on a visit, sternly criticized, "The United States will inevitably start a war in less than 10 years, and this is the destruction of the cause of world peace, and the Soviet Union's resistance is very reasonable, as evidenced by the support of so many countries." ”

At this time, there was all kinds of news about the boycott of the Olympics, and there were rumors that the Soviet Union had won the support of nearly 100 countries, plus nearly 50 countries had already expressed their positions. Such rumors put a lot of pressure on the Los Angeles Olympic Committee.

"The first batch of invitations to the International Democratic Games must have China and India." Serov, who signed the budget with a pen, said while signing, "Ask them what they want, if they want an aircraft carrier, and make one for them at cost price." ”

An even heavier blow came, and President Samaranch, who had nothing to gain, made a suggestion, which can be understood as the Olympics to be held by two cities, and the Soviet Union and the United States jointly hosted this Olympics.

"For the sake of world unity and peace, it can only be so, otherwise the people of the world will see a divided world." President Samaranch, who silently sniffed out and eliminated the traitors, painstakingly persuaded the National Olympic Committees to focus on the overall situation.
