Chapter 74: All Big Shots
In this way, the National Expo of the United States is a kitchen debate in history. You don’t worry about being embarrassed when you speak it out. Shelov has not carefully studied the information on this aspect. I always thought that the kitchen debate happened when Khrushchev visited the United States. I didn’t expect it to be a preconceived misunderstanding!
"So it's this old turtle!" Selov touched his chin. If Nixon came to the Soviet Union, then there was still no need for too much preparation. Some people in later generations used the end of the collapse of the Soviet Union to prove that the Soviet Union lost the kitchen debate. Selov was disdainful of this. Can an event with great influence be evaluated within decades? That kind of expert is really confident. Although the Soviet Union collapsed, China still exists! When will the United States uprooted the socialist country? Besides, it is not too late to say that it has won.
"Director, don't you make some preparations in advance for surveillance?" asked the commander of the Secret Police Corps.
"What are you preparing for? The US president cannot guarantee whether he is the representative of the United States, let alone a vice president!" Shelov moved his neck and smiled, "I thought for a long time but couldn't remember what a vice president has the final say in what matters. A mascot was sent by the United States, just send two people from the Domestic Spy Administration to watch. Don't die here and I'm covered in blood..."
Selov remembered that Nixon was president in the 1970s. After waiting for more than ten years, he finally took up the throne of president. It was comparable to Japan's Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was not that he was so awesome, but that Kennedy, the most awesome person on the Democratic Party, was killed. Kennedy's successor was so dirty that he had the idea of changing his political party.
However, Nixon's general performance in other aspects was covered by a huge success, that is, the United States successfully resolved China's relations and forced the Soviet Union, which had already entered a strategic offensive in the 1970s, to withdraw a considerable amount of force and deploy heavy troops in the Far East. Since then, the Soviet Red Army's two hands were pressed against NATO in Europe and the other in Asia, and the number of Red Army personnel increased greatly to five million. Since the Sino-Soviet hostilities, the Soviet Union was destined to be unable to persevere in the Cold War. It was too late to wait until China and the Soviet Union came to their senses to repair the relationship.
"Nixon? People who have come into contact with the Internet in later generations pay a little attention to the negative news in the United States and will know where your painful feet are!" Shelov muttered in his heart and ended today's security inspection.
In the evening, Selov followed KGB chairman Serepin into the Kremlin and reported to Khrushchev, the current first secretary of the Soviet Union. Although he did not meet frequently, it was obvious that Khrushchev could still remember Selov. When he took down Marshal Zhukov last time, Selov accompanied Khrushchev into the Ministry of National Defense in the name of the Director of the General Administration of Military Administration.
"The little guy works well in Berlin. This time Alexander recommends you to be responsible for the work of the National Expo in the United States. Do you have anything to say?" Khrushchev has always been outspoken, and he lacks a high-ranking attitude than other Soviet general secretary. But this is only in private occasions. Once in public, Khrushchev will become another attitude, and his arrogant attitude can surpass everyone.
"There is no problem with the security monitoring work. One thousand and six hundred secret police officers will be scattered at various intersections and venues. I will follow the First Secretary to ensure that there are no mistakes in terms of safety!" After reporting, Selov said, "About this National Expo, First Secretary, Nixon is just a symbolic vice president. I don't think it's worth making a fuss at all, but because the Berlin crisis has just passed, the cunning Americans may have sent him to test us!"
"Our little tiger is always so vigilant! Haha!" Khrushchev smiled unconcealedly, touching his sparse head and said, "It's okay, I like this kind of occasion! Mr. Nixon is the first American leader to come to the Soviet Union in more than a decade, and it is beneficial to understand each other! Mr. Nixon must do a good job in defending the Soviet Union. Is there no problem with Yuri?"
Selov, who fully abides by the defending leader, smiled and said cautiously, "No matter what, he is a guest. I will definitely show the truest side of the Soviet Union. However, I cannot guarantee that the vice president cannot control his curiosity and always wants to make big news!"
According to Selov's idea, just ask two people to deal with it, but he couldn't say it out. Khrushchev has been eased up the relationship between the West after he came to power. He was too neglecting the Americans. Isn't this slapping the first secretary in the face? He can only call the class enemies against his will.
In his opinion, the current first secretary is still a little more idealistic and believes in the moral integrity of the Americans too much. From the first artificial satellite of the Soviet Union to the just-concluded Berlin crisis, the conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States has become increasingly involved. It is not just that he thinks that "peaceful coexistence", "peaceful competition" and "peaceful transition" can solve this problem. At least, Serepin, whom Shelov knows very well and later Brezhnev must not be snatched.
But then again, Selov's actions in the Italian Catholic Democratic Party have also become a common example of Khrushchev, which is a joke. He is so confused that he was kicked to Italy because of the prison clearance operation, so he was useless and earnest and made contributions to his country. As a result, the Italian action became an example of Khrushchev's ease of his proposal.
Three days later, Selov, wearing a lieutenant general uniform, was waiting at the airport. Nixon took a plane to land at Moscow Airport at around 4 pm. Selov did not focus on Nixon because the few people in front of him were more worthy of attention. Khrushchev arranged the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union, Marshal Kriment Voroshilov, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Presidium, to pick him up. The Russian Federation Vice Chairman Brezhnev appeared together, and the people next to Selov also cooperated in Hungary, and the Soviet Central Liaison Department Minister Andropov.
Selov spent most of his attention on Brezhnev, and this was the first time he had seen this big-browed comrade.
If the Central Liaison Department compares the work of the KGB, it should be the advisory department of the First General Administration. The KGB Advisory Department guides the intelligence work of other countries, and the Central Liaison Department is responsible for contacting other socialist countries. Therefore, once the General Secretary visits a foreign country, Andropov will always follow him.
The powerful lineup next to him had already allowed Selov to move away from Nixon. Nixon was just a vice president. Next to Selov, there were two Soviet general secretarys, and a Soviet head of state with the title of marshal.
"Mr. Nixon, welcome to the Soviet Union. It is of great significance to your coming here and it is an important step for both of us to understand each other!" Marshal Voroshilov expressed his welcome to the visitor of the United States. The two sides shook hands and then inspected the guard of honor.
Selov performed his duties from beginning to end until he sent Nixon to the hotel he stayed at.
"General, are you responsible for our reception? What's your name?" Nixon asked through the translator.
