Big Time 1958

It’s okay to have material needs, but it must not be incompetent, because incompetence still occupies a position, which means that people who need you to provide material needs will lose hope. Serov does not want such a group of people in the KGB. He can agree that the most efficient department in the Soviet Union is them. It's embarrassing to be slapped in the face otherwise.

   The headquarters of FIFA was initially established at No. 229, Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. In the 1930s, it was moved to the Main Street of Zurich, Switzerland. After the Berne Miracle of the World Cup in 1954, it moved to the Villa Dewald on the Hirtsch Road in Zurich. The current FIFA headquarters is here, and it is also the center of the world's No. 1 sport.

In the visit of the Soviet Ministry of Sports, Villa Dewald is also an important stop. In fact, the goal of the visit of the Ministry of Sports of the Soviet Union is similar to that of Serov, that is, to hope that the Soviet football team will get justice. The only difference is the means of the two. The comrades in the sports department can only talk about national feelings and sportsmanship. Given their scope of work, it is basically impossible to talk about anything else.

   And Serov can talk about other topics, such as asking those hypocrites at FIFA, do you really want money? Or die? If you need money to be hostile to the Soviet football team, then leave your life behind.

"Tell the comrades of the sports department that I will participate in the exchange with those from FIFA tomorrow. I also have some personal gifts for the President of FIFA. I must personally come forward to express my friendship." Shelov let the person who sent the telegram said. .

  Tomorrow he will first meet his comrades from the Soviet Ministry of Sports, and then go to Villa Dewald, the holy place of international football, or the gambling base that relies on football.

   "Do the security cadres of the KGB have any comments on our exchanges with FIFA?" On the way to the Dewald Villa, Serov listened to the questions of the comrades of the Soviet Ministry of Sports.

"No opinion, I have some personal matters to do, just in time for your visit to Zurich, I also really want to take this opportunity to improve my experience, I will not interfere with your communication, you can rest assured!" Shelov's face Wearing a harmless smile, he comforted the comrades of the Soviet Ministry of Sports with hypocrisy. Naturally, he didn't believe these words. Every time KGB personnel go abroad, except for vacations, they have a strong purpose. Serov himself has not been idle enough to travel.

   The purpose of Serov this time is not the entire FIFA, but an important body of FIFA, the FIFA Referee Committee. The Referee Committee consists of a chairman and eight members selected by the executive committee. Its main tasks are to determine the official interpretation of the rules of the game and its amendments; to decide on the implementation of the rules of the game; to suggest that the Executive Committee revise the rules of the game; to establish a list of qualified referees for international competitions based on the recommendations of the National Football Association; Judicial law and rules implementation method. The working committee shall organize international referee workshops and training courses for those who are responsible for educating and training referees in their respective countries. At the same time, it should be responsible for appointing international referees for matches organized by FIFA, organizing study classes to unify referee standards, and reporting the game situation day by day.

   The organization of any institution is actually similar. The name of the referee committee is changed to the Soviet Union National Security Committee, and a few words are changed. From the written description, no one can tell what institution this is. The structural introduction on the surface does not explain the problem, but can only give a feeling that it looks very powerful. But such written articles are of no use to Soviet cadres, and the most notable experience of Soviet cadres is to hold various meetings.

  The current FIFA President is Stanley Rolls, this man is an Englishman, I believe he should be able to understand what Shelov wants to say, because this man turned out to be the referee of British football matches. Stanley Rouse's tenure as FIFA president saw England hold the World Cup on home soil and eventually win the title. If Serov remembers correctly, there seems to be some problems with the World Cup. I don't know if it has anything to do with Stanley Rolls, the president of FIFA.

"The First Vice-President of the Soviet State Security Committee, Yuri Yefimovich Serov, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stanley Rolls!" In the handshake of the Soviet Ministry of Sports, Serov, who was carrying a suitcase, stretched out He held his hand with Stanley Rolls, leaned forward and whispered in English, "I have my own purpose this time, and we can talk about it when we have a chance."

Stanley Rouse's face changed but returned to normal immediately. In the eyes of many people with high enough status, Serov's not too handsome face is still recognizable, and the addition of his name and position makes it even more memorable. Impressed.

The atmosphere of the whole exchange, although not friendly, but both sides were very polite, and there was a lot of talk in the scene, which was boring. The comrades in the Soviet sports department seemed to be a little young, at least that’s what Serov thought. What is the director doing? Think you are reporting to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers?

   After a while, a man in his thirties in a suit walked in, walked over to Seroff and said in a low voice, "Sir, Mr. Stanley Rouse invites you to taste fresh caviar!"

   Standing up seemingly unintentionally, Serov, who was carrying the box, left the place of communication indifferently, and tasted caviar? Stanley Rolls is also quite humorous. The output of caviar in the Soviet Union is outrageous.

"Hello, Mr. Stanley Rolls! Greetings from the KGB anti-rebel workers!" After entering Stanley Rolls's office, Serov expressed his friendliness with a cautious smile, but his expression seemed a little strange. Like what? It's like seeing a prisoner awaiting trial.

"General Sheloff, this belongs to sports and football. I don't know what a political figure comes to us for?" Stanley Rouse carefully probed Serov's intentions. After all, a leader of the law enforcement department came here, no matter what. No matter what the purpose is, it can't be considered a good thing.

"I came here to seek justice for Soviet football. Has it become the norm for your referee committee to use black whistle to deal with us?" Serov directly stated his purpose and said unabashedly, "The last few days In this game, the referee factor became the biggest enemy of the Soviet football team. If I still don't see it, is the first vice chairman of the National Security Council still doing it? Or that my presence today made Mr. Stanley Rouse Are you unhappy? Are you guilty of being a thief?"

"General Serov, anything can happen on the football field. You can't measure sports with political eyes. Football is round, and there is nothing to predict!" Stanley Rolls said very firmly, "Don't try to use politics. It is impossible to interfere with sports by means of

"Football is round, but people play football, and referees are also made up of people!" Shelov snorted coldly, "Voronin, who was entangled in opponents at this year's World Cup, was sentenced to a foul and his opponent got a direct free kick. While Yashin was still setting up the human wall, Sanchez broke the net. The referee Ryan Horn, who had not yet blew the whistle to signal a direct free kick, declared the goal valid. He was almost kicked out, and later killed the Soviets with a penalty kick at 1:1. In the end, Guizhou, the European champion Soviet team, could only be eliminated with a score of 1:2. How do you explain this? Actually I don't need your explanation, Mr. Stanley Rouse, because I've solved the problem!"

While speaking, Serov opened the box with a morbid expression, took out a white skull without any scruples, put it in his hand, and exclaimed in a weird tone, "What a white skull, it's like art The product is the same. By the way, the owner of this skull is a referee. His name is Ryan Horn. In the World Cup, he was the referee of the match between the Soviet Union and Chile. I heard that Mr. Ryan Horn went on a trip. when he was missing, right? Now you see him..."

   Following Serov's narration, Stanley Rouse's eyes firmly pressed against the skull on Serov's hand. What does this mean? So the referee of the World Cup, Ryan Horn, has been killed by the rumored KGB, the powerful department of the Soviet Union? "General Sheloff, you are committing a crime. Even if Mr. Ryan Horne misjudged, you can't let him pay the price of his life!"

"No, we have this reason, even small crimes are crimes, the KGB as law enforcement has the right and duty to give justice to our football team, today I came to Zurich, your so-called FIFA headquarters, to see your so-called Fifa headquarters. FIFA President, there is only one purpose, and that is to keep your dirty paws away from the Soviet Union, there is no department in the world that wants to be targeted by the KGB, if you think that the organization structure of FIFA is stronger than the CIA, then You can try it, no one can protect the people we want to kill!" Shelov took out the skull and hand bones and put them on the table, "This belongs to you, if there is a next time, I won't give it in person. coming!"

   "General Serov, if I don't agree to your threat, what are you going to do?" Stanley Rolls was also a little irritated. It was unreasonable for a Soviet law enforcement agency to come here to show off his power.

"Then see if you can afford the consequences, do you want money or death? As an intelligence agency, it's not that difficult to collect data, because your organization doesn't actually have much influence, and I don't want to mobilize us. Check your bills with your own power, but don't force me to do so." Shelov threatened indifferently, "Actually, there is a simpler solution, that is to let you die young and change to someone who is not so hostile to us. FIFA President, if your successor is like you, the big deal is that we are acting once, and I don't believe that everyone is not afraid of death..." (To be continued~^~)
