Chapter 185: Catch the Traitor
"Not all people can be called people. If religion is useful, the law can be completely abolished!" Selov looked at the pope, the world's largest religion, and felt that today's conversation was a waste of time. The most useful thing about religion is to paralyze the people's thoughts. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the revival of Orthodox religion proved this! "There is no doubt that religion has no need to say about the restraint of ideas. His Majesty the Pope should also have a deep understanding! The entire history of Europe has proved this. When you are forever authoritative, Europe was in the Middle Ages. The prosperity of Europe first started with Britain that despised the authority of the Holy See. The rise of Germany has a lot to do with the Thirty Years' War! History has proved the subordinate status of religion in development. The smaller your influence, the better people's development! The Soviet Union's policy has no problem, but it is a little faster..."
"We reason that even if some weak-willed people do need religion, they don't need the Holy See to guide them on what to do! The Orthodox Patriarchs are equal to each other, and there is no need for a pope to look at them on them!" In this St. Peter's Hall, Sellov looked at this magnificent palace carefully, looking for historical traces in it. This kind of palace has only historical significance. What role can it play in today's social development?
"But the Holy See has been passed down for so many years, and the believers of the world believe in us. Does General Serov seem to think that the Soviet Union has become so powerful that he ignores the will of one billion people?" John Twenty-third asked relentlessly.
At this time, John Twenty-third was no longer a twilight old man, but at this time he was a pope who ruled the Christians all over the world. His hunched back seemed to have become straight in an instant, and he shouted at Selov in front of him at the top of his lungs.
Selov's reaction was very dull and was not shocked by the momentum of John Twenty-III. He silently looked at the angry old pope in front of him and said slowly, "As long as I launch an anti-feudal movement against religious forces, I can easily erase the existing religious traces like wiping dust. What can you do to me? Our steel leader Stalin once said, Pope? How many divisions do you have? What should I use to stop us from moving forward?"
Unexpectedly, the meeting between John 23 and Selov evolved to this point. Thinking of this, John 23 felt a little regretful. He wanted to help Eastern European believers have some living space, but now it seems counterproductive! It aroused the disgust of the firm atheists in front of him, and he wanted to take a heavy step to rectify the believers in socialist countries! This was not John 23's original intention at all.
John XXIII's original intention was to ease relations with the Vatican government! Give believers some room to move, not to force the KGB to kill religions that have been closely controlled.
The conversation between the two sides reached this point, which was not his original intention. John XIII completely wanted to ease relations with the Soviet group state, but did not expect that the vice-chairman in charge of religious affairs was so disgusted with religion. This was indeed beyond John XIII's expectations.
"This kind of tyranny against religion. Catholics around the world will not allow it!" John XXIII eased his words, hoping that the conversation between the two sides could return to normal track.
"The Catholics are amazing, that is, one billion people. People from any country in the world may be the target of our export revolution. I am not worried about who the people will choose!" Serov still did not change his attitude and listed his own views. "It's very simple. The KGB and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs of various countries can relax the supervision of religion, at least not send them to prisons for transformation, and can even keep those priests above bishops and above to keep in touch with the Vatican. But the Vatican cannot elect a person with a nationality in Eastern European countries as the pope!"
"I can only guarantee that my next pope is not a cardinal of Eastern European countries. It is absolutely impossible to make the Vatican ban cardinals from running for the Pope as an order. It is absolutely impossible! If the Soviet Union is willing to accept the Vatican's goodwill, it should agree with me. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you, the KGB, to curb the influence of the Holy See. This is not just a simple way to forge a line of defense!" John XXIII said with his greatest sincerity.
After exploring John XIII's psychological activities, Selov knew that the other party would not give in! Indeed, it was impossible to let the Vatican issue an order to ban Eastern European bishops from running for election, and it was impossible for Selov to threaten to suppress religion. It is true that he is the vice chairman of the KGB, but the impact is limited to the Soviet Union. If other countries lip service to the orders that the KGB needs to cooperate, Selov has no good solution.
I can only use the stupidest method to find the Polish pope in history to see if I can't think of some solutions. The stupidest method is to kill it. It would be better if the pope could be used by him. It would be better, because Selov didn't know what the pope was named. Could it be that all the priests in Poland should be raised?
This negotiation can only be used as a secret talk between two people, with no contract or documents! After Selov turned around and walked out of St. Peter's Basilica and left the Vatican, Lukani, who had been following him, whispered, "Vice Chairman, really relax the supervision of religion?" With Lukani's understanding of Selov, this is simply impossible! There are two things that cannot be mentioned in front of this boss. One is the benefit of capitalism, and the other is religion! The former involves the goal that Selov has always pursued to defeat, while the latter is the key defensive target for Selov to prevent the resurgence of religion.
Otherwise, why did Selov appreciate Major General Kadpov? It was because Kadpov's attitude towards religion made him appreciate. Major General Kadpov was also the first general-level cadre not promoted by Selov, but received the greatest care.
"I am too young. When I was so angry, I thought that John Twenty-third could exchange Catholics in Eastern Europe with us. I forgot that as a pope, how could it be a deal with us? Even a relatively neutral pope is not good, but he is smarter than his predecessor!" After leaving the Vatican, Selov reached out and pinched Lukani's fair face and said with a smile, "But even if it takes a few years to not make trouble for us, it will be beneficial to us! John Twenty-third is nearly fifty years older than me. When he dies, all secret talks will naturally be invalid!"
From beginning to end, Selov was not prepared to really abide by anything. The reason why he was willing to talk to John 23 was nothing more than a relaxed attitude, so that John 23 could be impartial in the United States and the Soviet Union, even if it was only a few years! After gaining the past few years, Selov could slowly do a lot of things. He didn't have to be a firefighter like a gyro. As he said, John 23, who is already eighty, can't live long, and time is with him...
The delegation of the Soviet Ministry of Light Industry and Maritime Transportation was still negotiating with the Italians. This is Selov's main job. He knew very well when to come forward and not when to come forward. He came forward to play the KGB style of this kind of cooperation, which would only cause the negotiations to collapse. He hid in the Soviet embassy to watch the live broadcast of the game. He would also go and see the performance of Soviet athletes with tickets. This kind of life was peaceful and leisurely!
Or he was generous at this time. Sherov had never greedy for a penny from China, which does not mean he really had no money. In a sense, this was not greedy, and it was more appropriate to say that it was feedback and sales of stolen goods. The wool was made from the sheep, and the KGB money could only be used as funds to expand overseas industries. It was not easy to support such a super department. Therefore, he turned a blind eye to some part-time jobs in overseas intelligence networks, such as the filth between the American Division and the drug lord. Sherov didn't know that it was just not wanting to care. After all, it was his suggestion to let the KGB find a way to make money.
"This is the list of international students sent to the Soviet Union by Egypt this year, including a group of students from Syria. Should the vice president take a look?" Iseymotney said with a report from the Middle East Division.
"No need to watch it, just follow the previous years! However, the crime management of international students must be strictly controlled. For the sake of the country, we have cultivated a group of Egyptian pro-Soviet forces, but we don't invite them to be the masters and dare to play games like Egypt in the Soviet Union. Kazan welcomes you!" Selov directly took out a pack of underwear he bought and said with a normal expression, "This is for you, I think I should remember the size correctly..."
When I opened it, Isey Motney still blushed even as a professionally trained agent. The size was not wrong at all, but it was a bit too leaky, just like she was not wearing it! I was embarrassed to put away my underwear, and when I reported it again, I felt a lot tired of it. "There is another report, which was also reported by comrades from the Egyptian comrades in the Middle East. They were ordered to monitor the Polish military advisory group. They seemed to think something was wrong. Among them, the combat colonel of the Polish military advisory group who was in charge of military work was a bit abnormal?"
"Unormal? Traitor?" Selov quickly reached out to take the report. As a KGB, looking for a traitor was like his instinct. A colonel in charge of combat plans was definitely not a small matter. He read the report from beginning to end and focused his eyes on the name of the target person. Colonel Golinevsky, Minister of Operations of the Polish Military Advisory Corps. "Golinkevsky?" Selov did not have any impression, as if he was a general who defected in Poland. "Let our comrades in Poland investigate this person first. The Middle East Department continues to maintain surveillance and find a way to transfer him back to the country..."
Iseymotney quickly wrote down Selov's orders and asked, "It's really not possible. Let the operation execution be killed on the battlefield and you can also blame the French!"
