Chapter 636: The Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe
The rhythm of the entire studio is on Selov's side. From the perspective of insight, he, as long as he is not as taciturn as Brezhnev, and has ordinary eloquence, he can completely control the situation from the perspective of contact between the two sides. Moreover, the current situation in the Cold War is obviously that the Soviet Union has a better environment and the international situation is beneficial to the Soviet Union. Therefore, the word "tolerate humiliation" has nothing to do with him. He says whatever he wants, and does not need to consider the situation better than others.
Selov admitted that the United States' national strength was better, but he did not forget to add that this is temporary. From the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, from the Arctic Circle to the Persian Gulf, the Soviet Union's allies were all over the world, with military strength not inferior to the United States, and its advantages on land were far greater than those on the other side. There were socialist parties in hundreds of countries, and most of these parties were followed by the Soviet Union. With this condition, he would dare to speak unscrupulously under any circumstances.
With this national strength, military strength and environment, Selov does not need to be forced to chat and laugh with the other party in an unprecedentedly dangerous environment after the collapse of the socialist camp. Not to mention that he dared to do this even in London, even in the United Nations, it is not that he had never done it.
Edward Wallace was just polite, but he didn't expect that his American counterparts would be speechless so quickly. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the current international environment is in a position of everyone's fighting. He is condemned by the whole world because of the Vietnam War. How could he be the opponent of the Soviet Union in this situation?
The Soviet Union is very dark, but now the whole world seems that the United States is even darker. Edward Wallace has been calculating and is ready to confront the other party seriously after his friends are in a mess. "General Serov, the KGB is described as the real controller of the Soviet Union. In the eyes of many people, you are everywhere, have great magical powers and are omniscient. Doesn't people have this influence just prove the shortcomings of the Soviet Union in some aspects? A normal country does not need your department to exist."
Good question! This is the voice of countless British people in front of the TV. Our Wallace is stronger than Americans. Don’t look at the Americans’ military strength now, but in terms of diplomacy, we still need to learn from the British, learn what interviews are, and chat and laugh.
Gao Wow! Shelov's eyelids are very good at making trouble, and the other party has a tradition of making trouble in the world. It seems a little harder to deal with than Yang Jiba. However, he is not targeting anyone. With the KGB as a backing of information, he just wants to say that you are still too young, childish, and immature in thought. He is very anxious about the quality of British journalists.
"Our KGB existence is naturally in line with the national conditions of the Soviet Union. Your news is still too one-sided. I don't understand why our department is recognized by everyone. As a unified multi-ethnic country, it has a vast territory and vast land. There are countless ethnic groups living on it. Their living habits and other things are different. In this case, we need to let the people know the importance of unity through education, and on the other hand, we need a deterrent force, which is the responsibility of the KGB!" Serov said in a leisurely manner, "The entire Soviet Union knew that the KGB was a power department. They knew that we were watching them in the dark. Sometimes they seriously we interfered too much, but many people did not think of another point. What was the first idea when ordinary people encounter danger? Then I still hope that our appearance..."
"Sometimes things are like this. You will be disgusted when you can see us. But one day we really don't work anymore, and maybe we miss us. Our public security is much better than that of the United States, and many people may have forgotten one thing, that is, the United States, which claims to be a free world, has 100,000 more police officers than our Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs." Shelov looked at Walter Cronkate and asked, "Mr. Walter Cronkate, I'm right."
"General Selov, your Soviet police force is obviously different from that of ordinary countries. You have too many military responsibilities, and your responsibilities are too broad. We have received a lot of news that you have interfered in the development of religion." Edward Wallace quickly asked the next question to prevent the other party from bringing the topic to the United States again. For the first time, he discovered that the United States is such a big shortcoming in the Western world. If he had known it, he would not agree with Walter Cronkate.
The Soviet Union implemented the integration of military and police. The National Security Commission itself had combat responsibilities, and the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs was the same. Therefore, Selov also had the rank of general, Selov, Zwigun, and Zinev were all generals. The difference between the army and the police was not obvious. The police also had to receive military training. The KGB's ace troops were also very powerful. This was the rapid adaptation of the system of war after the war began. Unexpectedly, Wallace's words of power became too great.
"There are two major religions in our territory. Historically, the relationship between the two major religions is not harmonious, and it is not that the number of people between the two is too far apart. In this case, it is very easy to cause religious conflicts. Therefore, part of our department's responsibility is to suppress religious conflicts and make the people think that religion is not important. This is what the Soviet Union must do. We must maintain a united alliance. All this attack is what our department must bear. Whether you, foreign media, understand or not, I have no objection." Selov asked his assistant to bring water over, took two pills calmly, and continued, "All dissatisfactions can come to me, and the KGB's responsibilities will not change."
"This is a standard politician rhetoric, General Serov, I don't think you are honest enough. This kind of thing can be chosen by the people rather than the government. If some places want to develop themselves, why should the Soviet Union curb it?" Edward Wallace looked at the other party taking medicine and waited for a while, "As far as I know, your age is very young. Is it because there are too many things that cause some physical problems?"
"This is not something you should care about. As for development?" Selov heard some voiceovers. Was the other party saying that he had done too much and was in poor health? Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was pretending, and he had already pretended to be accustomed to it.
After pondering for a moment, Schellov felt that he could come over and sprinkle some salt and said, "As a politician, I cannot speak nonsense, but I want to ask Mr. Wallace a question."
"Please say..." Edward Wallace seemed to be in a state of confusion, and said in a look of knowing everything.
"Northern Ireland explodes from time to time. Why didn't the British return Northern Ireland to Ireland and let them? As far as I know, Scotland is not completely calm. I think if you think the Soviet Union should allow some areas to develop freely, should we set an example first?" This question turned against us. Of course, he never mentioned that this trend was supported by the KGB.
"This, as you said, the situations in different countries are different." Edward Wallace shook his head. He could not answer the question. The two main parts of the active IRA, one professes Marxism-Leninism and the other is more radical. Can Britain watch its neighbors become socialist countries? It is impossible.
"So you also know that the national conditions are different?" Serov smiled when he saw the other party's appearance. Is this double standard a little too obvious? Then the smell of gunpowder between the two parties gradually subsided, and the conversation became a little more normal. This conversation set a record of British radio and television ratings in recent years. Nearly tens of millions of British people heard the radio or saw live TV broadcasts. It became a hot topic on the streets and alleys. In addition to the dialogue between the two parties, the focus of the hot discussion was to complain that American hosts messed up the atmosphere, otherwise the program would be more successful.
Selov acted like a hardliner, but he had to take into account the overall situation and ease the situation. At the same time, he also preserved the majesty of the Soviet Union in an atmosphere of confrontation, making people feel that the Soviet Union was actually completely confident and not eased. It was entirely because the first secretary Brezhnev was so interested in peace that he came up with such a policy.
The Royal Opera House in the West End of London, there is a performance of the Soviet Alexander Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. This time, with the Soviet Ministry of Culture visiting London, it will conduct a week tour in London, performing different music for Londoners here.
It has a strong Soviet-style military music. It sang again from London after fourteen years. Five thousand Londoners in the audience held their breath and listened to the chorus of the stage with a thunderous sound. The sound was as loud as thunder and as heavy as the earth. In the military music, the Soviet Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe has reached the highest peak of the world.
Grassland, grassland, vast grassland is boundless! The heroes rode horses across the grassland, hey, the Red Army soldiers ran forward. Girl, please watch, the road ahead is flat, look, how far this road is, hey, there is constant singing along the way. On the way we walked, the fields around us are wide, and these are our collective farms, hey, there is a new scene everywhere.
"In the high sky, the pilots are dispersing dark clouds. Look, the submarine is sailing under the sea. Hey, Voroshilov leads us." Shelov is like an ordinary audience, clapping his hands with the rhythm of the band and following the chorus above, as if he wants to integrate into this atmosphere.
"Dad, this chorus is so imposing." A little boy listened to the chorus in his father's arms. He had never seen such a powerful chorus. Where did the group of soldiers on it come from?
"Yes, it's like seeing an Iron Legion walking past us!" The man hugged his son and laughed. He had heard the singing of this song and dance troupe fourteen years ago, so he came over immediately after hearing the news of the performance. These Soviets are still so imposing, no, it seems to be stronger than the momentum at the time.
