After a few drinks with his new colleagues, Serov raised his glass and said to the crowd, "I will give this glass to all my comrades in Italy!" Inadvertently, he nodded to the brown-haired man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the two of them tacitly drank it all.

After a while, Serov, who was obviously a little confused, was helped down, "Colonel Serov, I am the head of the First Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Europe and Italy, and I graduated from the city of Gatzna!" Major Mendelev! A month ago, I received news from Moscow that a comrade from both internal and external countries was coming to Italy to take over as ambassador! ”

Serov wiped his eyes unhurriedly, sobered up a lot, and asked, "Major Mendelev, you are a foreign officer of the First General Directorate, and you must have some understanding of the situation in Europe, the situation of Italian industry, culture, economy, and pillar industries, I need a channel to understand Italy, and most importantly, I need Italy's weaknesses!" ”

"It's not a problem, Comrade Serov!" Mendelev nodded and asked, "As is customary, since you have arrived in Italy, you should pay a visit to the President of the Italian Council of Ministers!" ”

Chairman of the Council of Ministers? Serov was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, I should indeed meet with the Italian Prime Minister first!" "If the prime minister is not called the prime minister, what is the chairman of the Council of Ministers? Who did you learn this from!

"Wait a minute!" Serov suddenly remembered something, the Italian prime minister changed to the speed of the Japanese prime minister, I don't know if Italy is like this at this time, so he asked more, "Who is the current Italian prime minister?" ”

"The third prime minister of this year is Mario Scierba of the Italian Catholic Democratic Party!" Mendelev replied.

The third term? Serov was silent, it seems that it is not yet March, that is to say, from New Year's Day to now, the top administrative official in Italy has changed three people? "You can show me Mario Sherba's information first! I think I can wait two days to see the matter of meeting with the Italian Prime Minister......"

Mario Sherba's information was read several times by Serov, and even his own photo was turned over, mainly for Serov's recollection, to see if he could find this person in his memory, but in the end he failed. Serov, in the end, still failed to think of this man from among the many Italian prime ministers.

However, even according to the published information, Serov can still deduce that this person's impression of the Soviet Union should be negative, and he openly guarded against Italy. It should be a hawk in the Catholic Democratic Party, but Buselov finally believes that Mario Shcherba is still not a big problem, and the situation in Italy is similar to that of Japan and France before the Fifth Republic, and it is difficult for people to stay in the prime minister's position for a long time.

Although this person is just a passer-by in Serov's eyes, Serov has always been a little uncomfortable with the Catholic Democratic Party, and the situation in Italy and Japan is similar, that is, the prime minister always changes, and the political party does not change. If Serov's memory is not wrong, Italy ** has been suppressed from beginning to end, from the post-war period to the eighties, Italy has changed thirty prime ministers, and it is always the Catholic Democratic Party that governs.

After meeting Mario Shcherba once, Serov was even more convinced of his judgment that the Italian Catholic Democratic Party was not a good friend, and even if the Soviet Union sold Italy, these people would still not turn around.

Against the background of the Cold War, Serov had an intuitive feeling that the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in-for-tat confrontation in various fields around the world, and the Soviet Union would not be able to reverse the unfavorable situation immediately because of Serov.

On the whole, Serov was prepared for the expected difficulties, and a little good news made Serov happy, and this joy came from another party in Italy, called the Italian Socialist Party. After learning about the political situation in Italy in the past few days, Serov learned that the Catholic Democrats now have only a narrow majority of seats in this government, which does not match Serov's original impression.

In the final analysis, Serov's understanding of Italy is still on paper, and he has the impression that Italy is only competing with the Catholic Democratic Party after the war, and subconsciously ignores the existence of some small parties under the European system, rather than a two-party country like the United States.

But why didn't anyone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remind me before I came to Italy? This is a question that Serov has not been thinking through! Serov relied too much on his own memory, which caused the imagination to be inconsistent with the actual situation, but Serov did not believe that the people in the Soviet Foreign Ministry were also like this, and after so many years of diplomatic work, there were only ** comrades and enemies of the Catholic Democratic Party in their eyes?

If this is the case, Serov really has nothing to say, and admires the simple view of the Soviet Union that is either friend or foe.

"Yes, it's good to have loopholes! If it is really a two-party system like in the United States, where there is no room for small parties, it will be really troublesome! For the first time, Serov raised a little hope in his heart. The left-handed right-hand politics in the United States has caused some small parties to die in the bud, and Europe is slightly different.

Trojan Horse In ancient Greek legend, the Greek coalition besieged Troy for a long time and could not take it, so they pretended to retreat, leaving behind a huge hollow Trojan horse, and the Trojan defenders did not know what to do, and transported the Trojan horse into the city as a trophy. In the dead of night, Greek soldiers hiding in the belly of the Trojan opened the gates of the city, and Troy fell.

This case is often described as a classic case of a fortress being breached from within, and now Serov needs to find a political party in Italy to serve as a vehicle for the Trojan horse. It is absolutely impossible for this carrier to rely on Italy, since it is a Trojan horse, it must not come openly.

From the point of view of the Catholic Democratic Party, it is eager to use a searchlight to observe Italy**. You all know that you are a Soviet power in Italy, and you can't hide it at all.

"A small party should be looked for and the upper echelons should be controlled! Well? Serov hid in the embassy and kept calculating, "After the general election, quickly join forces with the Italian ** and the Italian Socialist Party to squeeze the Italian Catholic Democratic Party out of the government!" Just by defeating the Italian Catholic Democratic Party once and proving the ability of **, you can have good reason to break the fear of **, I think again......"
