Big Time 1958

"You are the leader of the hard-line faction, you can't let Shurik go. He was also the chairman of the KGB, and now he is the head of our country. If you go, it may not look good because of this factor." Brezhnev held his hands Yi Tan said, "This is a security and cultural visit, and there should be Comrade Furtseva in the delegation."

"I see!" Shelov nodded. This reason is really irrefutable. Shelepin also served as the chairman of the KGB. Going to the UK will definitely not have a good impact. It is foreseeable that if he goes, the protests and scolding in the UK will just be changed. people. The negative news still won't change. And Shelepin, as the head of state, obviously should not have negative news in this regard.

  Then this matter should be done by yourself. Another reason is that Brezhnev is also preparing to visit abroad. Do you think it is safer for one of the two Shelepins to go abroad when he goes abroad?

   "It's an endless temptation." Serov felt a little tired after leaving the Kremlin. Is it always interesting to live like this for the first secretary of the Soviet Union? No wonder Brezhnev said before his death that the happiest time in his life was when he was the secretary of the state party committee.

   But visiting with Fortseva? It was not a pleasant experience. The KGB was investigating the issue of Furtseva's use of materials from the Bolshoi Theater for the renovation of the villa, but the other party's attitude was very strong and he did not think there was anything wrong with him. The villa is not his own. Once he resigns from the position of Minister of Culture, the villa will naturally be taken back.

   The communication between the two sides is not very pleasant. For this Minister of Culture, Serov has nothing good. Who let himself go up and hug his thighs in his early years? For this kind of vague cross-border, whether to investigate or not to investigate and not be sure to pay attention.

"Fortseva and I are visiting together, it is estimated that the atmosphere of this delegation will be very embarrassing." Shelov said helplessly, holding his wife's face, "I really have nothing to do with this woman, and I can't make people feel that we are ungrateful. "

Fortseva helped Serov a lot at the time, and the relationship between the two was relatively good. Valya's work also contributed a lot to the member of the Central Presidium, who was born in Ukraine. It can't be because the other party has no power now, Serov just Investigate and punish her, this is not justified.

"Let's just let her go, she's having a hard time right now, and neither is the diplomat husband. Alexeyevna is getting old now, and the last time I saw her, I almost couldn't help it. It's over." Valya was silent for a moment and pleaded with her husband. Fortseva helped both of them a lot, and seeing the other party like this is really a bit overwhelming.

"The slander of the Soviets by the **** of the Writers' Association in recent years has a lot to do with the indulgence of the Ministry of Culture. If she hadn't helped us before, I would have proposed to Suslov to replace her as the Minister of Culture." Sheloff said something fiercely, tacitly acquiescing to his wife's suggestion. Many examples have proved that no matter how powerful cadres are, they should not talk nonsense. Especially on domestic issues, it is best for security cadres not to express their opinions. Seeing danger eliminated on the spot without making a sound is what the KGB should do.

   In this visit, Serov brought in the vice-chairman of the KGB, Zweigon. As a member of the Writers Association, the vice-chairman of the KGB was just right, and he had already decided in his heart that he would take this vice-chairman with him wherever he went. Tsvigon's wife and Brezhnev's wife are sisters. He is the uncle of Brezhnev's children. This person is still safer to wear around. At present, it seems that he is still quite happy, and likes to visit abroad very much.

The Tu-154 passenger plane smashed into the London airport with the unique landing method of the Soviet Union, which indicated that the spy chief’s visit to London had officially begun. Serov, who had just been tested his heart, turned a deaf ear to the scattered protests, shook hands with the other party cautiously, and headed to the Soviet Union. Hotels that have been inspected.

   The security of the entire Soviet delegation, in addition to the bodyguards brought by Serov himself, was taken care of by MI6. The name of the director of MI6 is Harold King Philby. Since he took office as the chairman of the KGB, Serov has planned to transfer all the intelligence personnel who know the information about this person, and cover up the relationship between Philby and the KGB. And mobilized funds, and even took the initiative to exchange information for Philby's promotion. In 1970, Philby finally became the director of British MI6.

   No one would have imagined that one of the most outstanding intelligence agencies in the world, the top leader of MI6, would be a spy who had served the Soviet Union for nearly 30 years.

   From the moment Serov got off the plane, there was definitely no welcome ceremony. On the contrary, he received constant protests along the way. There may be many people who want to make a big news among the protesting crowd.

"Are the British afraid that I can't understand English, where did they find such a group of Belarusians?" After arriving at the hotel, Serov said to himself while looking at the protesters outside, "Are these people going to fight back to Moscow to rebuild imperial Russia? It's been fifty years, and these people still haven't given up."

"I don't know, but this situation is very annoying. If I was in China, I would have arrested them for ideological education." Was told it was the freedom of the people. If freedom was defined as casual insults to the Soviet delegation, Zweigon felt he should organize a protest if he had the chance to bring back the humiliation of today.

"Forget it, pay attention to what these people do, given the current political atmosphere in the UK, they don't vote in elections themselves, so why would they have the leisure to protest against us? The British are just trying to embarrass us. Maybe it's aimed at I'm here!" Sheloff closed the curtains to look out of sight and out of mind. According to Khrushchev's words, the United Kingdom is nothing but a country that can be solved by three big Ivans, a deserted island on the edge of the world, what does he do?

   The Soviet delegation entered Buckingham Palace the next day. In terms of specifications, the British side has shown the greatest sincerity. Serov does not believe this at all. This must have something to do with another person among the Cambridge Five. For Buckingham Palace, Serov, who was born with no artistic talent, couldn't find an adjective after thinking for a long time, and could only use money instead.

  Fortseva had an intimate conversation with the British Minister of Culture, as did some Soviet writers and British representatives around the two. What kind of cultural person are you pretending to be, Zweigon? You are obviously the vice chairman of the KGB, what are you pushing forward?

With whisky in hand, Serov stopped here and could speak for a word from the inside out, superfluous... He is not a representative of the cultural world, although he is also a member of the Writers Association, but his works It's all about how to build a safe book. In terms of literary value, it's worthless. There is no writing, no plot, and nothing.

"Mr. Shelov, are you satisfied with our welcome?" British Prime Minister Harold Wilson came over and chatted with Shelov with a very happy look. Of course he knew that the Soviets protested wherever he went. Exactly what the UK needs, in terms of disgusting people, he is not targeting one country, but wants to say that all countries on earth, you are all happy.

"Very good, it's just some protests." Sheloff raised his hand slightly and touched Harold Wilson with a glass of wine. "These are British after all, and they have received some unrealistic information and misunderstood the Soviet Union. Normally, people are affected by the surrounding environment, they can't see the real Soviet Union, this kind of reaction is normal."

Serov did not reveal the disgusting behavior of the other party, but this reaction had another meaning in the eyes of Harold Wilson. The person in front of him was a hard-line representative of the Soviet Union, but this time he was sent to the United Kingdom to promote relaxation. Obviously the Soviet Union The first secretary of Brezhnev has temporarily suppressed forces hostile to the West.

   Even if Harold Wilson is the Prime Minister of the Labour Party, he has a bottom line when facing the Soviet Union. Although the Labour Party’s foreign policy is not as hostile to the Soviet Union as the Conservative Party, it still hopes to keep a distance from the Soviet Union. They just advocated that the Soviet Union should be dealt with by the Americans, and that the United Kingdom should watch the show. But even so, it is enough to make the Soviet Union happy, and it is best that no one is involved in the struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States.

While the representatives of the cultural circles of the two sides were enjoying themselves, the formal visit continued. Serov held talks with the British Prime Minister as a member of the Soviet Central Presidium. Increased communication and signed some innocuous agreements.

During the two-day trip at Buckingham Palace, Serov spent time after wave of protests, and finally Harold Wilson proposed whether a TV interview should be made for British journalists to conduct an interview with the members of the Soviet Central Presidium, adding Let's take a look at what the British people know about the Soviet Union.

   "Okay, this is an opportunity to fully communicate." Sheloff agreed simply. He could expect that there was a pit waiting to lead him. Was the other party a little too optimistic and really thought he could settle himself.

As a representative of the Soviet hardliners, the news of Serov's decision to be interviewed on British television quickly spread throughout the country through The Times, and attracted the attention of the British people. , This is of great significance. With the help of the media, it has become the talk of the British after dinner.

   BBC Headquarters, Serov, dressed in the uniform of a Soviet general, got off the bus. After an interview here today, the Soviet Alexander Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe will hold a performance in the UK, and he can return to China at that time.

   "I've been through a lot of battles, and I've seen a lot..." Serov looked at the icon on the building and took a deep breath and walked in. (To be continued~^~)
