Chapter 660: Iron Fist Shurik

A few hours later, the plane Brekonev landed at the Andrews Air Force Base in the United States and began his eight-day visit to the United States. This was Brezhnev's first trip to the United States, and he accompanied the minister of foreign affairs and culture. He welcomed the airport to the airport with US Secretary of State Rogers. Before that, the Soviet Union had supported a European security conference without the participation of the United States, because the Soviet Union believed that such a conference could cause disagreement within Western society and at the same time contribute to the disintegration of NATO, which was a long-term goal of the Soviet Union.

"The Americans have taken great pains to get people from Florida to make us uncomfortable. Sorry, comrades, these people are coming for me, maybe I shouldn't have participated in the visiting itinerary." Turning his ear to the protests on the road, Selov apologized to Brezhnev, "But before coming, I had imagined this idea, and then see me!"

"I am looking forward to your plan. The small actions of the United States are indeed annoying, but this does not delay our overall situation." Brezhnev turned his head and looked at the sparse protests. In fact, most Americans are still calm. Now the United States itself has a lot of problems, including protests in the Vietnam War, domestic economic decline, black people's problems, etc. Most of the American intelligence sent by the KGB is negative.

In addition to talking about the issues between the United States and the Soviet Union, Brezhnev also wanted to talk about China, as well as the relations between Arab countries and Israel. After the last war, Israel and Arab countries were still full of hostility and both sides were in a state of dissatisfaction. In theory, Israel also occupied Egypt, Syria and Jordan territory, and there were not much in total, one fifth of the Golan Heights, the entire West Bank, and the Sinai Peninsula of 2,000 square kilometers. To be fair, this is much better than in history, but this made several Arab countries unacceptable, and the preparations for both sides were stronger than before.

If it is a little different, it is that Israel will not be attacked because the two sides are in an arms race, which is extremely unfavorable to Israel, because the history of the Middle East is already different from that. After Iraq's successful seizure of power, it is urgently necessary to resolve the complaints of other Arab countries and the war preparations are more active than anyone else. Brezhnev hopes that Nixon can make Israel concessions and expose these occupied areas in exchange for peace in the Middle East.

This is completely different from the positioning of the Soviet Union and the United States in history. At that time, Nixon ignored Brezhnev's proposal. Although Brezhnev took the initiative to propose this time, the Soviet Union had a clear advantage in strategy.

"It's this again. I still remember the last time I was here. It's been so many years. Eisenhower has been dead for many years." On the lawn of Camp David, Selov, who had always had a big mouth, spoke without caring about it. Fortunately, there were no Americans around. It was night, and the Soviet delegation was arranged to rest in Camp David again, and the formal talks began the next day.

The Kremlin of Moscow, Suslov, the Central Secretary, the Supreme Soviet Chairman, Sherepin, the Council of Ministers Kosigin, and the First Secretary of Ukraine who does not attend the meeting very often, all attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Suslov, the Secretary of the Central Committee. As soon as the Supreme Soviet Chairman, Sherepin, made a proposal to catch everyone off guard.

Many people have found that Xie Lieping has changed her past silence and seems to have a different temperament. Although Suslov was hosting the meeting, the first one proposed was Xie Lieping. "In the future period that can be met, we can be sure that the motherland will compete fiercely with the United States, so the importance of some important departments in our highest authority should be faced, otherwise it will be irresponsible to the motherland."

At this time, Xie Lieping felt like everything was under control. This attitude and tone made others familiar and unfamiliar. In the past two years, many people have forgotten that this person is the boss of the Communist Youth League and the person with the title of the Communist Youth League Eagle.

This proposal made others unprepared and caught off guard. Suslov remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it. He just asked for other people's opinions and helped his glasses and said, "Tell me what you think. We are collective leaders, and everyone can speak freely!"

"Alexey, what do Sherepin wants to do while Brezhnev is away?" Polyyansky whispered in a low voice. Kosigin was unintentionally the backbone of the government, and both he and Mazulov trusted their heads' judgment.

"Shurik should take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of collective leadership, and at the same time increase the voice of the Ministry of Defense and Foreign Affairs, and strive for support. We will know it when we look." Kosigin said a few simple words, following Xie Lieping's thoughts without changing his face. "In principle, I don't object, but I still have to wait for Comrade Brezhnev to come back and make a decision on this matter."

"Wait, Comrade Irichi is not here. Do we consider the issue of increasing the number of members of the Central Presidium? This does not conform to the principles of the organization." Kirillenko, the secretary of the Central Committee in charge of heavy industry, hurriedly stood up and opposed, "We should wait for him to come back to discuss."

"What? I am not here, do I have no qualifications to discuss?" Xie Lieping also stood up and said, "Do I have no right to speak," said Mr. Xie. "

Xie Lieping's tough attitude made many people unable to adapt at once. People suddenly remembered that this young member of the Central Presidium was also a fearful eagle of the Communist Youth League, with the title of Iron Fist Shurik. Not only was the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, but also the Chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission.

"I don't mean that!" After Kirilenko and Sherepin looked at each other for a while, their eyes turned away and did not have a head-on conflict with each other. Brezhnev was not in the country, so he still didn't dare to confront Sherepin head-on.

"That's good. Of course, we are just discussing how various departments can serve the country more highly." Xie Lieping did not take advantage of the victory and said slowly, "Whether to pass in the end, it is naturally still waiting for the General Secretary to come back to make a decision."

"Okay, comrades should pay attention to unity, so let's talk about this." Suslov stopped the conflict from expanding in time and began to discuss Serepin's proposal. Serepin, who had been prepared from beginning to end, controlled the rhythm of the meeting, and Ukrainian First Secretary Sherest gave a helping speech, making Kirilenko not know what to do.
