Chapter 46: Sherepin's Friends

At this time, in the field of Soviet diplomacy, Molotov still had the final say, and when it came to Molotov, people generally remembered **, and Molotov's bread basket appeared at the same time. To be sure, the Soviet-Finnish war was the result of the overall decisions of the Soviet Union, and from the Soviet point of view, the reasons for the war did not even need to be discussed, because Finland was already part of the Russian Empire, and the Soviet Union could have been under the slogan of unification since ancient times......

In the end, the annexation was not successful, which led to the emergence of ** this kind of ridicule, but in Serov's eyes, although Molotov was deceived once by the German Foreign Minister, Ribbentrop, he was still an outstanding diplomat. After all, Germany's all-or-nothing determination is not something that ordinary people can predict.

Molotov's talent is mainly reflected in the aftermath of World War II, which can be said to wash away the shame of being deceived by Ribbentrop, the Molotov plan, the general name of the economic agreements signed by the Soviet Union with Eastern European countries in order to prevent Eastern Europe from falling to the United States, strengthen economic ties with Eastern Europe, and assist the economic development of Eastern Europe. In July ~ August 1947, the Soviet Union signed trade agreements with Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and other Eastern European countries to resist and counter the Marshall Plan.

Churchill once commented on Molotov, whose short black beard, deep eyes, expressionless face, eloquent eloquence and calm expression all reflected his dignity and talent excellently.

At this time, Molotov was at the peak of his life, serving as the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Supervision, etc., and at the same time restored the special influence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in World War II. This may also be one of the reasons why Khrushchev decided to reshuffle the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the sequence of ambassadors to foreign countries, in terms of importance, Britain and the United States are of course in the first order, important allies and Western European countries are in the second order, and Eastern Europe and other socialist countries are in the third order.

Serov actually didn't think about this from going to Italy as an ambassador at first, because he didn't think that Shelepins had this ability in this era, but the development of things seemed to tell Serov that although Shelepin's status was not high, it seemed that there were a large number of people, and everyone had a high status, and the energy that burst out together was also very large.

At least during this time, Serov had met with Sherepin's friends regularly, most often five people, Egorechev of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Tikunov, Meshatsev of Radio and Television, Goryunov of TASS, Grishenvich of Pravda, and one more often heard them talk about, Tolskykov of the Leningrad Secretariat, and as for the names of Semychasny, only sometimes they appeared.

"Letting you be an ambassador to Italy is not essentially a demotion! This is also our greatest strength! Grischenvich said in a deep voice, "Your job is actually not easy to do, the Italian Catholic Democratic Party is actually not easy to mess with, otherwise Italy's performance in World War II will not always be unable to shake the status of the Italian Catholic Democratic Party!" ”

Mechatsev interjected, "According to what we know about Italy, we can get the support of about thirty-five percent of Italians, and the rest will be very difficult." After all, although the influence of the Holy See seems ridiculous to us, the Italians are convinced, so it will be very difficult to bring down the Catholic Democratic Party. ”

"Sometimes I really admire Asian comrades!" Tikunov laughed and said, "Direct violent revolution, war can best determine whose proposition is right or wrong, and the people will choose with practical actions!" ”

"But the current atmosphere in Europe, this kind of soil is not sufficient!" Egorechev retorted, "If it had been in the post-war period, the French Communist Party, the Italian Communist Party, and the Greek Communist Party would have had a good chance. But we can't support them, we're under too much pressure to tear our faces with the United States! ”

"So it's hard now!" Tikunov muttered, "Even if you give them support now, you may not be able to overthrow those governments!" ”

"Be quiet!" Xie Lepin frowned and reprimanded, "There are pros and cons to everything, and things are constantly developing!" Who knows what will happen next? Tikunov, simply let our little comrades get acquainted with the situation in Western Europe! ”

"Good!" Tikunov has always been obedient to Shelepin, and quickly said, "In fact, according to the calculations of several of us, the United States has invested quite a lot in Italy, so the mastery of Italy is likely to have a far-reaching impact on the situation in Western Europe." Because on the French side, the French have always had their own inner vigilance against the interference of the United States, according to the intelligence analysis of the Ministry of the Interior, it is difficult for the United States to influence France in policy in ten years, so the main breakthrough is on the Italian side, as long as Italy can get the support of the people on the fourth floor, it is enough for us to carry out an adventurous operation! ”

Serov sat in the corner and listened to the teachings of several giants for a long time before he said, "If Italy is unstable, our advantage on the European continent will be even greater, and in the case of France's diplomatic neutrality, we will completely outflank the Federal Republic of Germany under the occupation of the United States, and if I can intensify the hatred of the Italian Communist Party in Italy, I think it will be easier to achieve the goal with a certain amount of bloodshed!"

Several people exchanged opinions, and finally Sherepin said, "In short, according to your own ideas, Tikunov will try to assist you as much as possible!" ”

"I promise to do my best!" Serov solemnly assured, deep down Serov set a timetable for himself, he must achieve results in front of the Hungarian incident, sometimes whether Serov wants to or not, the world actually has to be worse, the ass determines the head, Serov is now a Soviet, even if the Soviet Union's behavior towards Hungary is wrong, he can only cover it up, and at worst, he has to pull the United States to cushion his back.

Subsequently, Serov went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report, but did not see Molotov, maybe he is not worthy of Molotov's special meeting now, and finally Serov stayed in Moscow for half a month, and began to go to Rome to take over the position of Soviet ambassador to Italy, after the transfer in Hungary, the whole journey began to calm down, all the way into Italy.

Italy, as the center of European civilization, although it has sunk for a long time since the fall of the Roman Empire, is still a sacred place in the hearts of Europeans culturally, whether it is the Holy Roman Empire in Germany, the Third Rome in Russia, or the New Roman Empire in the United States, the emergence of these remarks all regard the Roman Empire in Italian history as the goal of their own national struggle, and it is conceivable that Italy has a position in the hearts of ordinary Europeans.

I went out for a picnic today, and my head was foggy, so that's the end of the chapter. I'm sorry!
