Chapter 39: Order
Since it is a visit, the Soviet Union will definitely show its best side to others, face project! Although this kind of behavior is hypocritical, it is common to the whole world, and if the Soviet leader visits the United States, the United States will certainly not arrange for the Soviet leader to visit the slums.
"I'm strange, secretary! What is Prime Minister Daoud doing in Azerbaijan? Serov asked, "Afghanistan wants to build a petrochemical industry?" They don't seem to produce oil themselves! ”
"Maybe they're here to preach!" Semichas quipped without raising his head.
"It's time to arrange a traffic accident!" Serov immediately said, Semychasny shook the pen in his hand, raised his head and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm joking!" "Semychasny doesn't really understand why Serov hates religion so much, but this is Serov's own business, and Semychasny can't say anything.
"Since the guests are coming, let's not care about the purpose, just do our own thing!" Turning his pen skillfully, Semychasny instructed, "Prime Minister Daoud's line is more inclined to us, and this will play a great role in the security situation around our Soviet Union, and the current confrontation between the motherland and imperialism in Europe has increased significantly, and it is better to ensure stability in other directions!" ”
Shemychasny talked eloquently, as if he was for the sake of the overall situation. But in Serov's mind, with the memories of later generations, he really didn't know what to say, except for a little uncontrollable laughter. Stability in other directions? The confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was strongest in Europe, but there was no conflict. In other directions of stability, there is a conflict between the border with China in the east, a fight between Afghanistan in the direction of Central Asia, and the Arab brothers in the Middle East have defected one after another.
Although Afghanistan is a small country, Daoud is still respected when he comes to Azerbaijan, the first secretary of Azerbaijan, Shemychasny, and the second secretary Yakubov are all present, and when the train slowly enters the station, the band plays some out-of-tune Afghan songs, probably the national anthem, right?
Anyway, Serov doesn't know, even if he was idle in his previous life, he can't know what the melody of the national anthem of such a country is? In addition to the March of the Chinese Volunteers, he only knew the unbreakable alliance of the Soviet anthem, and the German Germany above all else, and even the world-famous Marseillaise, if Serov had not heard it with his own ears, he would not have remembered it alone.
Daoud is tall and bald, but it is a bit of Yuan Shikai, and what impresses Serov the most is that the hooked nose on his face, combined with sharp eyes, gives Serov a sense of heroism.
The first secretary Semychasny and the second secretary Yakupov shook hands with Daoud one after another, which was nothing more than welcoming and polite words, and Serov found for the first time that in fact, even if he was a big man in the eyes of ordinary people, he was not much clever in speaking.
I guess he's quite annoying! Watching Daoud and Semychasny shake hands separately, there are various secretaries and chairmen behind them, and even behind Serov, there are the heads of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Railway Bureau, and other institutions! Serov lamented that it is not easy for anyone in this world.
"I am the Minister of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan Serov, and during your time in Azerbaijan, your safety is our responsibility!" Serov first saluted and said publicly.
"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Serov!" Daoud's spoken language was a little awkward, but it also surprised Serov. Serov admires people for what you can't do. I guess if I want to go to Italy, I should be inseparable from an interpreter.
It was only when he arrived at Oud that Serov came back to his senses, wondering if the Ministry of Internal Affairs had a way to make a person who did not know a foreign language master a language in a short time. In fact, Semychasny knows that there is really a way, but Serov will definitely not try, and it is not without examples of mental breakdowns if he can't play well.
Daoud came to Azerbaijan and was protected by the internal affairs forces throughout the process, if you want to say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs lacks the most thing, that is, agents, at least Serov is not reminded by the entourage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he can't see at all that a welder with a hard hat and a layer of dust on his face is actually pretending to be an officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Daoud naturally can't see it, as for the several Afghan security personnel around him, it is not necessarily.
This is already the fourth day, and unlike some leaders of other departments, Serov appears by Daoud's side almost at any time, and if Daoud is killed by some political enemies in Afghanistan when he visits the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will be a big disgrace, and Serov, as Minister of Internal Affairs, will definitely be to blame, which is much more serious than Serov shooting thousands of people. Whether you admit it or not, the development of society to the present, people are only equal in words, but in reality they are still unequal.
Forty-four-year-old Daoud, who had just come out of a mine, looked at the Minister of the Interior, who was much younger than him, and asked, "The biggest thing I gained from coming to the Soviet Union this time was to see that the Soviets, regardless of nationality or status, could work together without any gaps, and maintained good order!" Comrade Serov, can you tell me why? Daoud's interpreter said. Obviously, the tribal forces in Afghanistan have put Daoud in trouble.
Through the past few days, Serov also understands that Daoud's Russian should not be very passable, and he is at the stage where he can understand it, but he can't speak it himself, and through understanding, Daoud seems to be quite good in French and German, this is because Daoud used to be the Afghan ambassador to Germany, and he himself went to school in France. The Russian language has only been introduced in recent years.
"Prime Minister Daoud, this question is too big to be explained in a few words!" Serov replied with a smile, "If Prime Minister Daoud has time, we can find a place to sit down and talk about some of our problems, and maybe we can find our answers from each other!" ”
"I'm very willing!" To be sure, Prime Minister Daoud has only been in the prime minister's position for only two months, having just defeated his uncle, Shah Mahmud Khan. This time I took a little risk in coming to the Soviet Union, but if the trip to the Soviet Union had received the goods, perhaps the risk could have been ignored.
What Serov actually wants to know most is how big an ideal a person really wants to make the decision to betray his own class and only for the development of the country. You must know that Daoud was born in the Afghan royal family, and even if he kills the current king, it is not impossible to inherit the throne himself. It seems that in this era, there are really many people like Daoud.
