Chapter 102: I Have Ideals, Too
"Goodbye, everybody!" Serov waved his hand politely, said goodbye to these reporters, and the ambassadors of other countries, presented their certificates at the gate, and disappeared into the eyes of the group of newspaper reporters.
"Don't block the news, it's not domestic, play by the rules of Italy. It's better if we take the initiative to get some information out to the media, transparency is a must! As he walked, Serov instructed Mendelev, "It is an important step to keep the media enthusiastic about this conference and to be more beneficial to our work......
Serov suddenly stopped, and said word by word, "Since we dare to make such a big battle, we are not afraid of what people say." This time, you have to come openly, don't make small moves! ”
"Okay!" I don't know if Menderev listened to Serov's words, anyway, there is no problem at the moment.
On the side of the rostrum, there is the position where Serov and other ambassadors of the nine countries are observing, and on Serov's side, it is easy to have a full view of the dynamics of the whole audience. However, when he saw that on his table, the place where the water was usually placed was replaced by wine, Serov was stunned, but immediately smiled, "Without me, can you drink such a cheap and expensive wine?" ”
Nowadays, the price of Italian wine is in a state of plummeting, and it is almost no more expensive than fruit juice. Maybe it continues, and there will be the Great Depression in the United States, when farmers poured milk into the river.
"At today's conference, we welcomed the comrades of the World Youth League, as well as the ambassadors of the nine countries as observers, which made today's meeting extraordinary!" Bellinger briefly welcomed the guests and said, "This time is rampant in Italy because of illegal pyramid schemes, and I hope that friends from other countries can help us solve the problem......
"Today, I and my comrades from Eastern Europe are mainly here to listen to the Italian ** introduce some of their experiences." Serov got up and said, "As for what the Italian ** itself is discussing, we do not interfere. I hope you can give us a chance to learn. Participating in a political party has the advantage of participating in a political party, and the comrades in Italy may be able to see some of the disadvantages of our country that cannot be seen! ”
After Serov's speech, the ambassadors of other Eastern European countries spoke in line with each other, putting their posture very low. The modest attitude won the favor of the Italians.
This time, Serov brought in the ambassadors of the nine countries, and in order to build momentum for Italy, Andropov arranged a visit to the World Youth League, and made such a big battle, just to show that it was time to vigorously produce a miracle. Not to mention that the current cost is acceptable, even if Serov spends all the money for pyramid schemes, he will not feel distressed at all. It's worth it to buy a medium-sized country with money.
"Next, we welcome Comrade Parmiro Torriati to speak!" After a lengthy opening remarks, Behringer asked the Italian general secretary to start speaking.
At this time, Serov discovered the problem that had been bothering him all along, that is, his relevant knowledge was indeed not up to standard. It is indeed time to make up for the theory, watching the people in the entire auditorium speak freely, he very much wants to join in and improve his qualifications, but after working hard for a long time, he still can't listen.
"The theories cited in this meeting are so unfathomable that I thought that only my motherland was like this, but it turned out to be a common problem of socialism!" Serov took a sip of red wine and watched coldly from the other ambassadors of the eight countries.
In all fairness, the theory of Italy ** is different from the theory of the Soviet bloc, it should be like a discussion of the left-wing parties in later generations, if it is usual, there may be a debate, but at this time even Serov himself did not say anything, and the ambassadors of other countries naturally did not talk much.
"Excuse me, I actually have my own opinion on welfare!" Serov interrupted softly, "Thank you to the Italian comrades for giving me the opportunity to speak!" Everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences, but I am just saying my views, and I do not necessarily want all comrades to listen to my opinions! At least Serov knew that the Soviet Union should have been the first attempt to start a welfare society, around the sixties, at the height of the Cold War, and the Soviet Union took into account both the arms race and the welfare of the whole people, and was never able to destroy the hegemonic system of the dollar, and finally collapsed.
It's a pity that Serov doesn't actually know about the Soviet system, and he should know about the Nordic system, saying, "Let's talk about my opinion, about the welfare system, I think the focus is on children and the elderly, and for adult men and women, you can let it go first!" ”
Mendelev, who was standing behind Serov, looked surprised, he had hardly seen Serov like this.
What's so strange about this, Serov stood up and looked at the black pressed, and said secretly; I'm also a man with ideals!
The welfare of the Nordics is for all citizens, and people enjoy a variety of social benefits at every stage of their lives, from cradle to grave. The Nordic countries encourage childbearing, and if you have a child, you can get government rewards, and you can give more rewards; Maternity in Finland is entitled to one year of paid maternity leave, and jobs are retained; If the maternity leave is too long and she wants to go to work, the husband can take care of the child at home for her, and the same paid maternity leave is also available. Toddlers are free of charge in the kindergarten.
Elementary schools, middle schools, and universities are free of charge or highly subsidized from tuition fees to food and housing. Sweden encourages students to study abroad, accounting for the total number of students, and three tiers of international students are funded by the government. Medicare for all. There is pension insurance for the elderly, and the government provides special apartments for the elderly and disabled with quality care. There is unemployment benefit for the unemployed.
In fact, Serov was completely painting a big pie, knowing that he had no real talent and real learning, so he put his posture very low, so that those who really knew how were embarrassed to refute themselves. He himself knew that with the conditions of Italy, it would not be possible even when the economy was healthy, let alone now. If this is forced, Serov can guess that in a few years, Italy will go bankrupt and the economy will be Latin American......
There is no kingly spirit trembling all over, and there is no spectacular scene of bowing his head, after Serov finished speaking, the most intuitive feeling is that people can do whatever they should do, and many people are thinking about it, looking for the feasibility of Serov's words.
"Comrade Serov, this benefit is very attractive, but it does not seem to suit our situation in Italy!" An old man with black-rimmed glasses who looked like a scholar said.
Serov does not know this person, does not know whether his status is high or low, but in Serov's eyes it is all the same, later generations lived in a socialist country, nothing else was learned, at least the state has educated itself and let itself know that everyone is equal. Even if the society is educated by this or that fact, at least in the general environment, there is no distinction between high and low.
And in his previous life, he was not the protagonist with a mocking face, and he did not meet the second generation who had nothing to do but come up and step on himself, sometimes Serov himself doubted, he was not the kind of protagonist who met every day in his life, and ordinary people could not encounter tragic facts in their lives, why did he wake up and come to the Soviet Union?
"This old comrade, I just had a fantasy, but I believe that science and technology are advancing, maybe we will do it in the future, let me imagine it for a while! Although human beings are not perfect, it does not delay us from imagining a perfect world! Serov looked at the old comrade with respect, and then did not refute it, and continued to listen to the speeches of the people below one by one.
"Comrade Serov's words, although simple, are very sincere. Although we are not perfect, we do not delay us in building a perfect world, and in the process, even if we take detours, it is still wonderful for us! Italy's ** General Secretary Parimiro Torriati agreed.
[Thank you for the rewards of the Glorious Priest, 1599, Acacia Mileage, and Liangzi!] I'll be on the shelves tomorrow, is it a testimonial or something? 】
