"It's indeed a long time no see. I heard that the Soviet Union attacked Türkiye was your initiative. The adventure was successful. The Soviet Union now scared the whole world. Isn't it a sense of accomplishment?" Bellinger said in a pun.?

The two met very early, and it should be said that they had been in friendship for twenty years. At that time, Serov was just a little colonel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because he made a mistake in China, he was driven to Italy as ambassador. And Bellinger was not Italy's ** General Secretary. He had just stepped down from the position of President of the World Youth Federation and returned to China to work in the Milan region.

It was just because of the Italian pyramid scheme that the Italian people lost all their money, and later they came to power. The United States was embarrassed to send troops to intervene under the noses of Britain, France and Germany, so it was extremely thrilling that Italy would rule. If the United States could have predicted today, it might have made up its mind to make an armed intervention at that time, allowing the Italians to experience the true meaning of democracy.

"I haven't seen General Secretary Bellinger speak for a few years, and he has become more and more socialist tone." Selov's words meant something. Italy has always held high the banner of European countries and debated with the Soviet Union on some issues. What's the result now? Italy itself cannot get rid of the economic crisis, so it comes over to ask the Soviet Union for help.

"Yes, you can't solve all problems by war." Bellinger didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"Can all problems be solved by protest?" Serov asked in a row, "Socialists only know how to discuss and compromise. I guess another world war will happen, and the Western Europeans will become a part of the war machine, just like those predecessors during the First World War."

"You don't understand very well that the power of ** comes from socialist countries. Without the existence of the Soviet Union, you will easily be marginalized. This is completely different from suppression. You will be weak and not worth suppressing at all. President Allende understands much more about this than you..." Shelov smiled and did not bother him, "Get on the bus, isn't your purpose just to hope that the Soviet Union will help Italy overcome the difficulties?"

The Chilean Socialist Party’s support rate is getting higher and higher. It’s very simple. Every country is full of poor people. Although the opposition party protests more and more fiercely, the Chilean Socialist Party’s polls have reached 50%. Other opposition parties used the protests to gather their supporters and also gathered the socialist supporters. In this case, the socialist Party’s strength grew faster than other parties. At present, the Soviet Red Navy will never leave the Chilean port.

Bellinger visited the Soviet Union on behalf of Italy. He did not expect the Soviet Union to return to the high growth stage of ten years ago. Instead, he found a way to balance Italy's deficit, because the rise in oil prices was weaker than that of Britain, France and Germany. In addition, the country's own market was limited, so there were not many ways to think of.

So for Italy's own interests, the first to get rid of Batumi's obstruction and began to seek help from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. This was what Western European countries did in history, and all gave up export restrictions to flatten the deficit. But I don't know which country was the first to do this in history.

Batumi was an unofficial international institution gathered in the field of international trade after World War II. Its purpose was to restrict member states from exporting strategic materials and high-tech to socialist countries. The embargo list included tens of thousands of products in three categories, including military weapons and equipment, cutting-edge technology products and rare materials. This organization has a special adjustment committee for the Soviet Union. Of course, China will never be forgotten as a major country, and there is also a special Chinese committee for China.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Batumi's successor was the Wassenah Agreement. The Wassenah Agreement includes almost all industrial countries except China, which are completely organizations specially established for China. However, as long as the technology of its own country has been improving, it will sooner or later break the blockade.

Now the Soviet Union has done nothing, and Italy is the first to come to Moscow. This has nothing to do with Beringer being the Italian General Secretary. It is entirely because the Soviet Union has not been affected by the economic crisis, and Italy has no money now, so it is that simple.

Brezhnev was already waiting for Bellinger in the Kremlin. He naturally expressed his comradely friendship first, and then got to the point. Although the Soviet Union was a socialist country, he did not have the awareness of taking the initiative to be a sucker. Although the Soviet Union had done a lot of such things before, the first secretary was working hard for a second, and the same thing would not happen to Brezhnev.

The Soviet Union will definitely help Italy, which is based on mutual benefit. It is impossible to use the routine of dealing with Khrushchev to deal with Brezhnev. Although Brezhnev suffered a stroke, his mind was not broken yet.

"From a technological point of view, I believe that no country in the world would think that the Soviet Union was the backward side. Of course, the arrogant Americans may no longer be within this range." Brezhnev said in a unique and slow tone, "Capitalist production will definitely cause a cyclical economic crisis. I believe you know this. Now that the crisis has occurred, I will come to ask us for help, Comrade Bellinger, is that true?"

"It's nothing more than overcapacity, things cannot be sold, and the result is a backlog of products and factories go bankrupt. So the purpose of Western European countries is to hope that the Soviet Union will buy these products and at the same time unblocked items." Kirirenko, secretary of the central government in charge of heavy industry, said carefully, "Why should we help keep blocking our enemies? Is there any benefit to doing so?"

"We need technology to relax large machinery that has been embargoing against the Soviet Union. Please don't get me wrong. It's not that we can't make these machinery, but we just don't produce enough production. We will supplement our country." Mazurov, the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, said calmly, "Actually, we all understand that with the current trend, the Soviet Union will no longer need anything from the West. Sooner or later, the so-called embargo will be a big joke."

"Comrade Bellinger believes that he would not think that Soviet technology fell into Italy." Serov, who was sitting on the side, shrugged, not showing any mercy because of the two's previous friendship.

"Although we are comrades and the Soviet Union is willing to help Italy, it must be based on mutual benefit." Brezhnev said at last, "This relationship will be stronger, even stronger than talking about feelings."

For a country, deficits are secondary, and this can be solved in many ways. The unemployment rate is far from being balanced with income and expenditure. If Italy wants to overcome difficulties, it must get out of the huge unemployment rate as soon as possible. Otherwise, the revolution will be followed by the unemployment rate. You must know that the entire Warsaw Pact is still eyeing it, and the revolutionary holy land now is much stronger than fifty years ago.

"I think that professionals from both countries can come up with solutions that both sides accept, take care of the interests of both sides, and work together to enable both sides to achieve better development." Bellinger said with a friendly attitude. He is only responsible for communicating feelings with the Soviet leadership. In real negotiations, there will naturally be a dedicated person responsible, and any country is like this.

The Soviet Union did provide a good reception, and no matter what, there should be some comradely feelings. Brezhnev, Sherepin, and Kosigin all attended the cocktail party that welcomed Bellinger and the Italian delegation. As for the professionals who negotiated and signed the contract, they were also busy confronting their opponents.

"I thought you would object, but in fact we could watch Western Europe die." Ustinov chatted with Selov with a wine glass, "The West is in an economic crisis. Once we pull them, they will still cause trouble for us in the future."

"This economic crisis weakens the West, but it is still unlikely to say that we can kill them at one time." Selov thought for a moment, "According to the US algorithm, the overall strength of the Soviet Union has reached 71% of the United States. Of course, this number will be closer in a few years. Eastern Europe is still a little weaker than Western Europe. I hope our Eastern European partners can seize this opportunity and truly help us in the future, rather than letting the Soviet Union stand by everything."

But if the confrontation continues and the next economic crisis occurs, Western Europe and the United States may only be able to save one. There are only a few places that can shear the sheep, and the United States should take action against South America, which has the least influence in the Soviet Union. Secondly, Japan, and finally Western Europe, but Selov doubts whether South America is enough to get rid of this economic crisis.

There are still ten years left before the Square Agreement. If Japan is not enough to cut it, the Soviet Union will take Reagan's attack, and Western European countries will be the last choice.

Three days later, Italian Ministers' Council of Ministers Bellinger attended a commercial contract signed between Italy and the Soviet Union, ensuring that he would invest in the Soviet Union to help the Soviet Union open its own resources, improve the quality of industrial products, and export large machinery and important parts. The first one to break away from Batumi's restrictions and start saving the unemployment rate in the country, while trying to balance income and expenditure.
