Big Time 1958

   "To be honest, after working hard for so long, I still can't estimate the final result." Serov is not in Lubyanka, this is the office of Andropov, the head of the Central Liaison Department and Secretary of the Central Committee.

  Contact the French Communist Party, the KGB has no right in this regard, of course some things can actually be done. But generally it is Andropov who does it. Contact with the French Communist Party was done by Andropov.

   "From the point of view of public opinion, the left wing is bound to win. What doubts do you have?" Andropov was a little puzzled. The General Political Commissar of National Security in front of him rarely showed such an expression.

"It's a matter of probability. Simply put, it's about the unity of the capitalist class. You also know about the march of de Gaulle supporters in France more than a week ago!" Seeing the other party's silent nod, Serov continued, "Then This parade is a typical example of bourgeois solidarity, on the contrary the protesters are very large, but there are still places that are not in place.”

"Huh?" Andropov's brows were slightly wrinkled, and he said somewhat puzzled, "You must know that most of the people are protesters, how could the situation you mentioned happen? Did de Gaulle dare to operate in a black box? But this is not Reality?"

"We're back to the question we just started. Probability, if de Gaulle's supporters are mobilized to the greatest extent possible, and many protesters do not vote because of the revolutionary ideals, can the left-wing forces win for sure?" Serov Although it was a question, it was said in a positive tone.

After reading the documents at that time in his later generations, the supporters of de Gaulle were only a little over 40% in France, not to mention the existence of Algerians who were obviously influenced by the Soviet Union in this time and space. In theory, de Gaulle was even under pressure. Without resignation, most of the seats in Congress must be occupied by the Communist Party, the Socialist Party and other left-wing parties. But in fact, in that election, Charles de Gaulle used a little over 40 percent of his supporters and won over 70 percent of the seats in Congress. He played a superhuman performance and successfully suppressed the wave of protests.

  Andropov originally only thought that Serov's worries were unfounded, but in the end, the indifferent smile disappeared, replaced by a serious look. From a mathematical probability point of view, this possibility exists. As for the solidarity of the bourgeoisie, the march of de Gaulle supporters a little over a week ago had confirmed it.

"Yes, this possibility exists, but since we have seen this possibility in advance, there is a chance to remedy it. Don't look at the voting has started today, we still have time." Andropov first Thank you to Sheloff and start thinking about it.

   Shelov nodded and said goodbye. In this regard, he had nowhere to wipe his mouth. Andropov could even bite a piece of South Yemen. France, which is much less difficult, should have a solution.

   What will happen in the final election depends on Andropov's communication. If the protesters don't turn out enough and still cling to the street movement, there will always be a chance of capsize in the gutter.

   "I hope Andropov has been in charge of the international communist movement for so many years and has sufficient capacity." Shelov believes that as long as the voter turnout is sufficient, this wave of protests will inevitably end with the victory of the French left.

In the ensuing time, the French Communist Party, the Socialist Party and other parties began to send working groups to protest the crowd, using the right to vote to achieve their goals, civil war is impossible to be considered, France is surrounded by NATO military bases, if a civil war begins, In the end, it is the country of France and the nation of France that suffers.

"It's only going to make things worse if we're just going to protest and not come up with a solution. How can we change our country? You're still here and the other side votes for the current government, then protest is It's pointless, use the voting rights in your hands to make choices, that's what we should do." A member of the French Communist Party shouted loudly to the crowd gathered around with a loudspeaker.

   This situation occurs in all parts of mainland France, including Algeria. All parties are trying their best to mobilize their supporters. In order to win the general election, let their supporters go to the polling place to make a choice.

  The United States, the Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany, and many countries in the world are all watching the results of this election. First, the French Communist Party General Secretary Waldeck Rocher announced that he would join the Socialist Party, the Socialist Radical Party, and the Algerian Socialist Workers Party for a joint election. Against de Gaulle's League for the Defense of the Republic.

The predecessor of the League for the Defense of the Republic was the French People's League founded by de Gaulle. Internally, it advocated the maintenance of the Fifth Republic system, opposed excessive state intervention in the economy, and externally advocated maintaining the national independence of the law and its status as a major power in international affairs. , France should play a leading role in advancing the construction of the European Union, and it is also the current French ruling party.

Newspapers in various countries have adopted estimates for this French election. The newspapers in the Federal Republic of Germany believe that de Gaulle can still remain in power and successfully defuse this crisis, because once people participate in voting, it proves that the most dangerous time has come. Finish. British newspapers took the same view, arguing that de Gaulle, though annoying, was still able to control the situation.

"They are encouraging de Gaulle. Have you believed what they said? It's not more than ten years ago, and the British Labour Party has come to power!" Serov and Andropov, who have also been following the French election, said, you know When the Italian Communist Party was elected, it was less than a decade after the end of World War II, and the Italian Communist Party was an independent election. After the election was successful, the U.S. base in Italy was almost torn apart for military intervention.

   Now, more than ten years have passed, and even the British Labour Party has come to power. It is a matter of time before these countries turn left. And this alliance is not an independent election of the French Communist Party, but an alliance with parties such as the Socialist Party. Once the United States intervenes, he will not only fight against the French Communist Party, which is similar to the Soviet Union, but interfere with the political forces in the entire Western Europe. You must know that the French Socialist Party is a member of the Second International. Many members of the Second International are major parties in European countries. Once the US military intervenes, it is not only the Communists who will be disappointed.

   "It was originally an optimistic estimate, why are you not happy?" Ustinov was a little puzzled by Serov's performance.

"Because I know that those people in the Second International are not good birds. It's okay for these traitors to talk nicely, but they only have so much ability!" Serov knew that the reason why Europe in later generations would not even have a brain for political correctness, and these The Socialist Party of the Second International has a lot to do with it. On the contrary, Eastern European countries that used to be in the socialist camp may not have been infected because of the short period of time, so they will not be as brainless as Western Europe.

   Having said that, Andropov, Ustinov, and Serov all understood that there was no better way for the time being. They admired the actions of wearing Gaulle to defend France, but after all, this person was an ally of the United States, and independence was also an enemy of the Soviet Union, but no other country was as close to the United States.

   Unless the French announce it themselves, with the KGB's First General Directorate, nothing can be investigated. After all, the people at the polling station were not KGB informants. Every day until the end of the election was very tormenting for Serov and the others. The French left-wing party came to power in the 1980s, and the Socialist Party came to power. And now the largest left-wing party in France is the Communist Party, and the left-wing alliance led by the Communist Party is fully qualified to make the Soviet Union look forward to it.

   But it is not without news. Regarding the election in Algeria, Serov thinks that there is no suspense. The Socialist Workers Party of Algeria can get at least 70% to 80% of the votes.

   This result is not only waiting for the Soviet Union and the United States, but in fact all the French people who participated in the protest are looking forward to it. After all, for them, the final result of the protest is completely reflected in the election.

Khrushchev made his first comment on the situation in France a day before the election, "General de Gaulle made an outstanding contribution to the independence of France and the policy of detente, regardless of the outcome of this election. The Soviet Union cherished de Gaulle. The general is a friend and is willing to continue to cooperate with the de Gaulle government in the future."

Khrushchev's speech was made after seeing the KGB's assessment. Serov said a possibility. According to the politics of the Fifth Republic constructed by De Gaulle himself, even if he lost the election, he could not step down at all. Continue to be president and use the rest of your term to play against the National Assembly. France is a rare strong government in Western European countries, and de Gaulle himself is qualified to do so.

In mid-June, the French parliamentary general election announced that the coalition including the French Communist Party, the French Socialist Party, and the Algerian Socialist Workers Party had won 62 percent of the people's support and occupied 6 percent of the parliamentary seats. Fifty-eight, the reason why there are fewer parliamentary seats is because France, except for the overseas provinces of Algeria, supports the Alliance for the Defense of the Republic. Congress has fallen behind. De Gaulle then conceded the victory of the Left Alliance,

  The French Communist Party General Secretary Waldeck Rocher subsequently announced that he would implement the earlier labor-management agreement and start to organize the resumption of production. In the days to come, a fairer and more equal France will be established.

"This is an incomplete victory. The system established by de Gaulle protected him." Serov said with a sigh, and Andropov shook his head. "An incomplete victory is better than no victory. The French The political structure has changed, and besides, de Gaulle is almost eighty years old, how many years will he live?"

   "That makes sense!" Sheloff took a deep breath, almost forgetting that De Gaulle couldn't last long according to history. (To be continued~^~)
