MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 970 busy sheloff
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is very important to any country. The saying that diplomacy is no small matter does not belong to a certain country alone. The British Empire has become like this now, isn't it still relying on diplomatic means to cooperate vertically and horizontally all over the world? For the diplomats themselves, their greatest pursuit, of course, is to enjoy the thrill of making history.
When every diplomat is working, the names of Metternich and Bismarck flash in his mind. While Gromyko has been the foreign minister of the Soviet Union for so many years, his work in general has little effect. He is already a famous diplomat in the world, so his pursuit will be higher. If the Libyan hostage crisis and the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty can be resolved at the same time, Gromyko's name will be included in both major events, and the sensational significance of them is extraordinary.
Hubert Vedriner of France also has this kind of pursuit. Of course, he and Mitterrand are both socialists. Influence. Actively balancing the United States and the Soviet Union, and uniting with other secondary forces, has been France's national policy since Charles de Gaulle. France will not be on either side either, but will consider France's role on a case by case basis.
Protecting his own interests by acting independently is also the consideration of French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedriner. He listened to Gromyco's suggestion. This is not bad for France, and it is all good for him personally.
The current situation is actually not difficult to analyze. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have the sincerity to solve the problem. This requires France to act as an intermediary to facilitate a compromise between the two countries. Hubert Vedriner believes that this is a good time to reflect the influence of France.
"Yes, in fact, we have no reason to reject the Soviet Union's decision, especially to avoid hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union, which is a matter of concern to all countries in the world, including our French of course." Hubert Vedriner answered noncommittally road.
The deadlocked bipolar alliance system during the Cold War also provided France with an excellent opportunity to use the contradiction between the United States and the Soviet Union for its own benefit. This is mainly because although France is a member of NATO, it has withdrawn from NATO's overall military chain of command, so it can independently shape foreign policy according to its needs.
"Is it simply bullying the soft and fearing the hard?" Serov, who received the good news from Gromyko, was not surprised. This sentence is not a mockery of France. There are no exceptions for countries. All countries in the world are composed of human beings. Human beings are like this. .
That which is in my favor is the rule and should be followed. The thing that is not good for me is the bondage, and I have to find a way to break free. Take, for example, the revision of the constitution that Serov and Ligachev are discussing now. Since each republic has no independent right, should the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics change its name? That is of course... no change
Should the one country, three votes of the Soviet Union be retained? Of course keep it! You should know that once the constitution is amended, the votes of Ukraine and Belarus are somewhat conspicuous. The name of the proposed alliance must be retained, if not, it must be retained.
The appearance of the big spy has always been so ugly. The republics in various places cannot be independent and must be reflected in the constitution. Will the votes of Ukraine and Belarus also be preserved? Follow the rules that are beneficial, and abolish the rules that are not beneficial. Who doesn't agree? Come and fight the Soviet Union immediately, any country has the right to declare war on the Soviet Union.
"Okay, leave the matter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Comrade Gromyko, let's continue!" Serov crossed his fingers and looked at General Chebrikov and General Fedorchuk and said, "The KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are currently continuing to advance the attack. I believe it is not difficult to fight against inferior products. General Chebrikov, the second phase of the Bea Railway has been completed, and the safety assessment will be completed soon, which will greatly increase the capacity of Siberia, which we have always needed. In Siberia, which is a key prevention area, national security can finally be raised to another level."
General Chebrikov and General Fedorchuk nodded, the quality of the Soviet Union's own products can be said to be extremely extreme. The same type of product, produced by different manufacturers, may not be damaged after 30 years of continuous use, and may explode as soon as it is used. This is also the original intention of the campaign against inferior products.
The meaning of shelov is very simple. When there are large quantities of inferior products, they will be digested locally. If the local workers don't care that their New Year's benefits become inferior products produced by themselves, it is best to find a way to correct them.
You make a good cake, you eat the cake. If you have to make a piece of shit, Serov can only force you to eat it hard. As for the second-phase project of the Beah Railway, which has just opened to traffic, it will cooperate with the regional road network to ease the connection between Siberia and the European part of the Soviet Union. The highway project is still being rejected.
Recently, Serov also stopped the experiment of the Soviet Union's maglev railway. This thing has no value for promotion. It will only be put into operation in a few major cities and approved the production of a new generation of notebook computers. Relying on the KGB's day-to-day thieves for decades, as well as the work of buying dips in the economic crisis, the Soviet Union's local industry, supplemented by Western technology, is definitely much stronger than in history. This does not mean how much steel and how much oil. , coal, that kind of indicator the Soviet Union itself is above the United States.
"Comrades from the Planning and Economic Commission said that the cost of the recent CD-ROM players is relatively high, and they are not suitable for immediate local promotion?" If Serov remembered correctly, it was called a VCD. Contact the Italian side, apply for a patent and start production, and if it is very popular in Europe, it will be exported and sold domestically."
The chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, Tikhonov, nodded. The relationship between Italy and the Soviet Union is very stable, mainly because of the emergence of many new technologies in the Soviet Union, and Italy is often the first place to promote it.
What Serov is doing now, to be honest, is to cut off some products that have invested a lot of money but have not been seen in future generations. However, it definitely does not include military supplies. His workload is definitely larger than that of Reagan, and whoever gives him rights is much larger than Reagan. Reagan is not as busy as him.
"As for the military, the latest version of the T80 will be put into production immediately. This is the argument of the National Defense Committee." Serov put down a report. According to Ministerial Decree No. 328 issued by the Ministry of Defense Industry of the Soviet Union, the Morozov Design Bureau merged with the original The 61st Design Bureau of the Marishev Plant, which mainly develops heavy-duty full-track heavy-duty tractors and engineering vehicles based on this chassis. So far, the Morozov Design Bureau has completed a large expansion of its research scope. It not only develops main battle tanks, but also extends its tentacles to all fields of military tracked vehicles.
The major design bureaus of the Soviet Union seem to have a little more, but in order to avoid the loss of technical personnel. He really didn't dare to close it casually. What if there were some unknown secrets in the design bureau?
There will be no such order in the future, because next year Serov plans to merge the Ministry of Defense Industry, and the National Defense Committee will be directly responsible. This is completely different from when he was chairman of the KGB. The department of the KGB has always been in a state of expansion. He was afraid that the KGB didn't manage enough things, but for the departments under the chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, of course, the less the better. Maybe after he leaves office as general secretary, the group of Soviet security cadres will be able to change their positions.
Reagan said that the Soviet Union was a police empire, and he was right. The head of the secret police and the great spy, Serov, really planned to find a group for the Soviet cadres who could kill them at any time.
As for the restraint of the KGB security cadre group, he planned to let an international organization restrain it. After his own death, the security cadre group in the province was lawless. For the first time, he wondered whether some powers of the Comintern should restrain the future KGB.
This matter can be discussed later. The good news is that the highway connecting Iran and Iraq, with Baku as its example, is progressing smoothly and will be open to traffic before the arrival of 1987. When the Soviet troops withdrawn from the northern cluster return to the Caucasus, they can support the Iranian People's Party and the Iraqi Communist government when necessary.
Submit the advance plan and movement speed to the Ministry of Defense, I believe the Soviet Ministry of Defense will come up with a very practical plan. Just like facing Western Europe, it can be said that the Soviet troops stationed in Eastern Europe can attack Western Europe as planned with their eyes closed. Germany's attack on France was only a few years in preparation, and the Soviet Union's plan to attack Western Europe had been in preparation for decades. The Soviet Union knew better than the Europeans themselves where the advance was the fastest and where the rivers would hinder.
The chemical weapons of the Federal Republic of Germany have been secretly transferred several times, but they have never escaped the eyes of the KGB. From this point of view, the Germans are still very strict. If they are replaced by Arab countries, it is estimated that they will not change places every ten or eight years, waiting for the enemy to come and bomb.
After talking about all the questions, Serov took a long breath and poured himself a little poisonous chicken soup to calm down. Sometimes he feels that he has been accumulating energy for too long, and his heart will be in a state of impatient from time to time.
"I have waited for decades, and it will take two or three years." I imagined the scene of the human hope country, and the big spy who drank poisonous chicken soup returned to a good state.
"By the way, I forgot one thing." Serov picked up the phone and called Smolensk Square, "Tell Gaddafi that the Soviet Union will not sell him the atomic bomb, nor will it provide the blueprints, and pass on my words to Ge. Romeo."
Zurich is already preparing for the second meeting between Serov and Reagan, and at this time he will not take the initiative to trouble Reagan. An intermediate-range missile treaty is much more important than Libya, and he doesn't like that little money, and the dollar will become waste paper sooner or later.
