Chapter 176 African Year of Independence

"Thank Comrade Lov for his attention to the friendship between Italy and the Soviet Union, which is what I want to say! Our Italian Communist Party also wants to find a communist path that conforms to the national conditions of Italy. On this path, we are very lucky to travel with many brother countries. I myself and the Italian Communist Party cherish the friendship with the Soviet Union and other brother countries very much!" Italian Communist Party General Secretary Parimirotoriati also responded positively to Serov's show of affection, which made the atmosphere of the auditorium arrive again.

"It doesn't matter. The Soviet Union has never had even a little doubt on the Italian comrade's line. The national conditions of each country are different. Just like the Chinese peasants, the Soviet Union is the working class and the revolutionary leader. We have never said that world revolution is a template. We don't want some countries to copy the Soviet model to the whole world as claimed by some countries!" Serov knew what Parimirotoriati meant. The Italian Communist Party currently has a great influence in Western Europe and has good friendships with the French Communist Party and the Greek Communist Party.

If it was during the Brezhnev period, if Selov sang praises for Italy's way of expanding its influence, he would definitely be criticized when he went back. Considering that he was a follower of Selepin, he might have been given an excuse to be beaten to the end. Fortunately, Khrushchev period relaxed control in this regard, but even so, Selov was playing the edge. If these words were fine, there would be no problem, and there would be problems.

Sure enough, Selov's speech had just fallen, and Bellinger, who was sitting on the left, applauded first and expressed his approval of Selov's reasonableness. The Italian Communist Party has been looking for a route belonging to Europe. Although they are in power now, considering the living conditions of Italy in the United States and the Soviet Union, they can only support the Soviet Union in terms of party-party relations, otherwise they will be criticized by Catholic Democrats.

Even so, the Italian Communist Party cadres and the delegation led by Serov were cheerful and still made many reporters present uncomfortable. Especially the Italian journalists who tended to NATO, they were very upset to see Italians and Soviets looking brothers and comrades, and they looked like they were wearing pairs of pants.

"There is another question. I wonder if the Italian comrades have discovered it!" Serov smiled and started the welcome meeting in a way of talking to friends, singing about the friendship between proletarians and the friendship between the Communist Party of the world. In fact, Andropov himself should be responsible. He is the minister of the Central Liaison Department, but Andropov is not here. He is responsible, and it is not considered overstepping power. Exporting the work of revolution in this regard. The relationship between the Central Liaison Department and the KGB itself is the maker and the actors, and they serve a goal.

"What did you find?" Parimirotoriati was actually more adapted to this relaxed welcome party. Compared to Selov, who was reading reports there seriously in China, they didn't have so many rules here.

Serov asked Iseymotney to bring a telegram, wait for everyone to be quiet, and then recited, "This year, a series of thoughts have appeared on the land in southern Italy! Starting from January 1 this year, seven countries, including Cameroon, Senegal, Togo, Madagascar, Zaire, Somalia and Benin, have been independent! We are delighted to see today. The entire African trend of independence has been launched, and the national consciousness of the African people has awakened, which shows that the evil colonial system on the African continent has begun to collapse. This is the year of the most independent African countries, and this year is the year of independence. The Soviet Union and all socialist countries, including all socialist countries, who want to establish democracy and equality, are willing to help independent African countries become equal members of the people of the world as soon as possible. Long live Africa's independence, and long live Africa's independence year..." Finally, Serov shouted twice in Italian and Russian.

At the right time and right place, Selov, who was not too late to awaken, said very politically correct words, which were so correct that no one dared to refute even a little bit of his words, because destroying the colonial system was the common goal of the United States and the Soviet Union, after Italy lost all colonies after the war. This was also Italy's goal.

No one dared to say that Selov's words were wrong, so when his words just fell, they once again won the cheers of all the Italian Communists present. Even all the Italians, including journalists, stood up and applauded warmly at Selov, through such a correct statement. He successfully dispelled the dirty thoughts in their hearts of journalists who came in to catch up with the wind and speculate on the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Italian Communist Party.

"Long live the Year of Independence in Africa, long live the world equality!" After waves of cheers sounded in the auditorium, and many journalists also joined the cheering Communists. Selov also looked excited, but he was different from these people. Through the momentum of Italian journalists today, the concept proposed in a few years in Africa, which was proposed in a few years, will begin to ferment this year, because the concept was first proposed, and this huge public opinion advantage belongs to the Soviet Union, and the Communists of the whole world. As the proposer, the honor belongs to him...

"The complete liberation of mankind will come. No matter what difficulties and obstacles are in front of us, they will eventually be overcome by the invincible Communists!" Selov raised his right hand and clenched his fist, shouting in the world-wide Communist oath gesture.

Parimirotoriati first raised his hand to respond. Immediately, all the Italian Communist Party, including the Soviet delegation, raised their right hands into fists. Although the slogans they shouted were not consistent and a little messy, the huge aura shocked the reporters who appeared on such occasions for the first time. Various flashes kept appearing. These reporters did not forget their work and received this historical scene into film. Tomorrow this will be a big news...

The turbulent atmosphere here took a long time to calm down. Then Selov and Bellinger discussed that more than 100,000 people in the Soviet Union would come to Rome to watch the Olympics, hoping that Italy could help in this area.

"Many of our Soviet people went abroad for the first time. They turned out to be poor proletarians. They may have many habits that are not very good. I hope the Italian comrades will help!" Selov lowered his attitude and said all the difficulties in this regard. This was an action he planned himself, and among these people there were more than 4,000 KGB agents.

"It's all comrades who can't help or not. Our Italy is a people and a hospitality nation. It will definitely allow the comrades of the Soviet Union to have a pleasant physical and mental journey!" Parimirotoriati said generously.

This group of people with a flow of 140,000 people all came from all over the Soviet Union. To be honest, the letter of introduction is required for traveling to Italy. It is definitely a good thing that can make people lose their heads. Of course, there are hidden dangers in this. If the Soviets escape in Italy, Selov, as the planner of the action, may be criticized, but I believe that he will escape the disaster because of the publicity of the Year of Independence in Africa!

The reason why the Soviet Union strictly controlled population mobility was because many Soviet cities were not suitable for human habitation, such as villages in Siberia. If the Soviet KGB had not been watching the population mobility in China, they would have given up halfway through the work of moving the population to Asia. No one was willing to live there in that place in the snow and ice, and they would have gone back to Europe in a few years.

Not to mention the icy and snowy places like the Soviet Union, even if China, opposite the national borders, without administrative orders, the population of the entire Northeast will become smaller and smaller. In the small town where he lived in later generations, the entire Forestry Bureau has changed from a population of 100,000 to 60,000 to 70,000. Many students at school were no longer local. People like to live in a warm and comfortable place like spring. There are also people like Selov who are not adapted to high humidity, but not many.

If there really is someone who does not return to China, Selov will definitely be criticized after returning to China. His response is also very simple. Tightening policies in this regard and expanding the rights belonging to the KGB again is a dangerous move. However, for the development of the KGB, this risk is worth taking.

In private occasions, Selov would discuss with Beringer and even Parimirotoriati to let Italy pay attention to this work. At this welcome meeting, Selov instantly threw two bombs. The first was the publicity of the African independence year, and the second was the first large-scale tourism wave in the Soviet Union. Although a lot of money was borne by the KGB, it finally created an opportunity for communication. After thinking about it, Selov didn't know how many times he discovered that he was really a friend of Italy. He was responsible for the risks himself, and the Italians kept taking the ride on him...

The next day, the entire Italian newspapers were covering the propaganda of the Year of Independence in Africa. Each newspaper was doing its best to reflect its political correctness. Even some newspapers that were hostile to the Soviet Union were helping the propaganda. No one was willing to fall behind in such a thing that everyone expected.
