"You are the leader of a hardliner. You can't let Shurik go. He used to be the chairman of the KGB and is now the head of state. If you go, it might not look good because of this factor." Brezhnev spread his hands, "This is a security and cultural visit. Comrade Forteva should be in the delegation."
"I understand!" Selov nodded. This reason is really irrefutable. Xie Lieping has also served as the chairman of the KGB. It will definitely have a bad impact when he goes to the UK. It can be foreseeable that if he goes, the protests and scolding in the UK will be just a different person. The negative news will not change. As the head of state, Xie Lieping obviously should not have negative news in this regard.
Then this matter should be done by himself. Another reason is that Brezhnev is also preparing to visit abroad. Do you think it is safer to let one of Xie Lieping and others go abroad when he goes abroad?
"It's really endless temptation." Shelov felt tired after leaving the Kremlin. Is it interesting to be 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. He only needed to complete his work and not to intrigue.
But visiting with Forteva? This is not a pleasant experience. The KGB is investigating the issue of Forteva using the materials from the Grand Theater to decorate the villa, but the other party is very tough and does not think that he has made any mistakes. The villa is not his own. Once he steps off from the position of Minister of Culture, the villa will naturally be taken back.
The communication between the two sides was not very pleasant. Selov had no good idea for this Minister of Culture. Who made me hug myself in my early years? Is this relatively vague cross-border, and I can't pay attention to whether to investigate or not?
"Folteva and I went out on a visit. I guess the atmosphere of the delegation will be very awkward." Shelov hugged his wife and said helplessly, "I really have no good idea for this woman. I can't make people feel that we are ungrateful."
Forteva helped Selov a lot at that time, and the relationship between the two families was quite good. Valia's work also made this member of the Central Presidium, who was born in Ukraine, work a lot. It is not reasonable to investigate and punish Selov because the other party has no power now.
"Let her go once. Her life is not easy now, and that diplomat's husband is not very good. Alexeyevna is old now very fast. Last time I saw her, I almost couldn't help but come." Valia was silent for a moment and pleaded with her husband. Forteva helped both of them very much. Seeing that the other party is like this now, she is really unable to do anything.
"The slander of the Soviets by those bastards from 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." Serov said fiercely, accusing his wife of his suggestion. Many examples have proved that even the powerful cadres should not speak casually. Especially for domestic issues, it is best for security cadres to not express their opinions. Eliminate the dangers on the spot but not speak out. This is what the KGB should do.
This time, Serovra met with KGB Vice Chairman Tsvigon. As a member of the Writers Association and the KGB Vice Chairman, he just had the right status as the KGB Vice Chairman, and he had decided in his heart that he would take the vice chairman with him wherever he went in the future. Tsvigon's wife and Brezhnev's wife are sisters, and he is the uncle of Brezhnev's children. It is safer to wear this person around. At present, it seems that he is still enjoying it and likes to visit abroad.
The plane of the 154 hit the London airport with a unique Soviet landing method, which indicated that the spy chief's visit to London had officially begun. Serov, who had just been tested, turned a deaf ear to the scattered protests, carefully shook hands with the other party and went to the hotel that had been inspected by the Soviet Union.
In addition to the bodyguards brought by Selov himself, the security of the entire Soviet delegation was in charge of MI6. The director of MI6 was named Harold Kinferbi. Since he took office as the chairman of the KGB, Selov had planned to transfer all intelligence personnel who knew the news to cover up the relationship between Philby and the KGB. He also mobilized funds and even took the initiative to exchange intelligence for Philby's promotion. In 1970, Philby finally became the director of Philby's Department of British Intelligence as he wished.
No one would have thought that one of the best intelligence agencies in the world, the supreme leader of the British Intelligence Department 6, would have been a spy who had served the Soviet Union for almost thirty years.
Since Selov got off the plane, there was definitely no welcome ceremony. On the contrary, he received constant protests along the way. Perhaps there were many people among the protesters who wanted to make big news.
"Are the British afraid that I can't understand English? Where did they find such a group of Belarus?" After arriving at the hotel, Selov looked at the protesters outside and said to himself, "Are these people still going to fight back to Moscow and rebuild the Imperial Russia? It's been fifty years since these people have not given up."
"I don't know, but this situation is very upset. If I were in the country, I would have arrested them for ideological education." Zwigun became very bad all the way. He hoped that Britain could control this protest, but was told that it was the freedom of the people. If the definition of freedom is to insult the Soviet delegation at will, Zwigun felt that he had the opportunity and should organize a protest to recover today's humiliation.
"Forget it, let's take care of what these people do. Judging from the current political atmosphere in the UK, they don't vote during the election, so how could they have the idleness to protest against us? The British just wanted to embarrass us. Maybe they came for me!" Selov pulled the curtains and came out of sight. According to Khrushchev, Britain was just a country where three big Ivans could solve it. There was a barren island on the edge of the world. What did he do?
The next day, the Soviet delegation entered Buckingham Palace. In terms of specifications, the British side had expressed their greatest sincerity. Shelov did not believe this at all. This must have something to do with another of the Five Cambridge Masters. For Buckingham Palace, Shelov, who was born with no artistic corporations, thought for a long time but couldn't find an adjective, so he could only use money to replace it.
Fortseva had an intimate conversation with the British Minister of Culture, and the same was true for some Soviet writers and British representatives around them. But what kind of cultural people are you pretending to be? You are obviously the vice chairman of the KGB, so why are you rushing forward?
With whiskey on this occasion, Selov, who stood here, could endorse a word from the inside out. He was not a representative of the cultural circle. Although he was also a member of the Writers Association, his works were all about how to build safe books. In terms of value, there was no writing style, no plot, nothing.
"Mr. Selov, are you satisfied with our welcome?" British Prime Minister Harold Wilson came over and came over to chat with Selov with joy. Of course, he knew that the Soviet man had protested everywhere he went, which was exactly what Britain needed. In terms of disgusting people, he was not targeting a certain country, but wanted to say that all the countries on the earth were all happy.
"It's just some protests." Selov raised his hand slightly and touched Harold Wilson with a glass of wine. "After all, these are British people. It is normal for them to receive some unrealistic information and have misunderstandings about the Soviet Union. People will be affected by the surrounding environment. They cannot see the real Soviet Union. This reaction is normal."
Selov did not reveal the other party's disgusting behavior, but this reaction had another meaning in Harold Wilson's eyes. The person in front of him was a representative of the hardliner of the Soviet Union, but this time he was sent to Britain to promote easing. It was obvious that the Soviet Union's first secretary Brezhnev had temporarily suppressed the forces that were hostile to the West.
Even though Harold Wilson is the Prime Minister of the Labor Party, he has a bottom line when facing the Soviet Union. Although the Labor Party’s foreign policy is not as hostile as the Conservatives, he still hopes to keep a distance from the Soviet Union. They just advocate that the Soviet Union be dealt with by the Americans and that Britain can watch the show well. But even so, it is enough to make the Soviet Union happy. It is best if no one participates in the struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States.
While both sides were happy with the cultural representatives, the formal visit continued. Selov held talks with the British Prime Minister as a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. The two sides had frank exchanges, fully exchanged opinions, enhanced their understanding, decided to increase communication, and signed some irrelevant agreements.
During the two days of the itinerary at Buckingham Palace, Selov spent waves of protests. Finally, Harold Wilson proposed whether to make a TV interview to allow British journalists to interview members of the Central Soviet Presidium to increase the British people's understanding of the Soviet Union.
"Okay, this is an opportunity for full communication." Shelov simply agreed. He could have expected that there was a pit in front of him waiting to take him. Was the other party a little too optimistic and really thought he could take it.
As a representative of the Soviet hardliners, the news that Selov decided to accept British television interviews soon spread throughout the UK through the Times, attracting the attention of the British people. This was the first time that a member of the Soviet Union's highest leadership accepted a British television interview. This was of great significance. With the help of the media, it became the topic of conversation for the British after dinner.
At the headquarters of the British Radio and Television Station, Selov, dressed in Soviet general uniform, got off the car. After being interviewed here today, the Soviet Alexander Red Flag Song and Dance Group held a performance in the UK, and he could return to his country.
"I have experienced many battles and have seen a lot." Selov looked at the icons on the building and took a deep breath and walked in.^
