Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters Samaranch

"Which country participates in the Los Angeles Olympics is the enemy of peace. The orphan and widow in Grenada has not received an apology from the United States, especially Reagan's apology." After the May Day parade in Moscow, Gromiko, who ran around the Soviet allies, officially stated that the venue would either be held in Moscow or would not participate in the Los Angeles Olympics.

"It was a shameless act for the Soviets to link sports with politics," Reagan said publicly when he learned the news, "The hostility of the Soviet Union is unreasonable, and General Secretary Serov's personal reasons occupy the main factor."

"Reagan does not apologize in the name of the country. The Soviet Union will never participate in this Olympics. Now I want to see which country is willing to participate in this Olympics. As a friend of the Grenada, the Soviet Union can provide civil aviation and help Grenada participate in this Olympics. After all, the Soviet Union is a major power in charge." Can this kind of air-brow verbal can make Selov, who is thick-skinned than the city wall, surrender? This idea is simply an insult to the profession of spy chief.

The Olympic movement has experienced ups and downs since its revival. This time, Los Angeles encountered the worst crisis, which threatened the development of the Olympic movement. While Los Angeles was fully preparing for the Olympic Games, the US military sent troops to invade Grenada. This move was immediately condemned by world public opinion and also caused a crisis in the Los Angeles Olympics. Shelov began to seek ways to sanction the United States. Shelov, general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party, issued a statement: If the United States does not apologize in the dual name of the country and the president and gives compensation, the Soviet Union will boycott the Los Angeles Olympics.

This time, the Soviet Union and the United States used the Olympics as the battlefield. They escaped the last boycott by chance. They soon made a move at the Los Angeles Olympics. Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko and First Deputy Minister Doberenin went abroad one after another, and visited pro-Soviet countries and neutral countries without stopping.

The same time as the boycott was carried out, "Among the neutral countries, India and China have the highest prestige, so these two countries are the most important. As long as the support of these two countries is obtained, this Olympic Games will inevitably become the American Games. No matter what method is used, whether it is literary attack or military, interests win over or class feelings, China and India must join the boycott ranks. Even if you participate, you cannot participate in the name of the country. Let the former first and then the latter, it is best to let India and China not participate." This is the task that Selov gave to the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Selov knew that this boycott must hold up the neutral power, otherwise it would not be completely victorious. The biggest reason why the Soviet Union's boycott failed in history was that China participated in the Los Angeles Olympics. As the second largest country in the socialist camp, China's participation gave the Soviet Union a huge embarrassment, and also exposed the true situation that the Soviet camp was not a solid piece of iron. Socialist countries such as Romania and Yugoslavia participated in the Los Angeles Olympics, marking the failure of the Soviet Union's boycott.

The Soviet Union could not even win the countries in its own camp, let alone the neutral countries in the third world. In the end, only nineteen countries participated in the Soviet Union's boycott. Fortunately, the Chinese team's commitment to participate in the competition inspired people and brought surprises to the United States. Then good news continued, with only nineteen countries and regions that boycotted and did not participate for reasons. Finally, athletes from 140 countries and regions participated in this Olympics, which was far more than previous sessions. Among Eastern European countries, Romania and Yugoslavia also participated in this Olympics. The audience at the opening ceremony welcomed these brave men who broke through the political barriers with applause.

For the Soviet Union, this was a complete failure, especially compared with the Moscow Olympics four years ago. The two boycotts initiated by the United States and the Soviet Union can see the real power comparison at once. Whoever has more supporters can easily see that the favorable condition now is that the Moscow Olympics has not been boycotted, so naturally there is no comparison. This is the big spy leader who unilaterally disgusted Reagan.

This boycott and anti-boycott around the Los Angeles Olympics has become a hot topic recently. In a few days, more than 40 countries have announced their response to the Soviet call to participate in the boycott.

"In what name do you persuade me? Is it the President of the International Olympic Committee that pressured me, or did you make suggestions to me in the name of my subordinates? What do you think? Comrade Samaranchi? You will not forget how you became the President of the International Olympic Committee, right? It was not the Soviet Union nodding. Are you qualified to travel back and forth between countries around the world?" Selov looked at the President of the International Olympic Committee in front of him indifferently and said slowly, "What position do you talk to me? Have you forgotten the help of the KGB?"

"General Secretary, I am the president of the International Olympic Committee. Of course, I have to find a way to save this Olympics." Samaranch knew Russian. He was once the Spanish ambassador to the Soviet Union, but he joined the KGB for a long time.

"It is also a way to save the gambling industry that is linked to your interests?" Selov snorted coldly and said indifferently, "What? Is it delayed some people making money? Don't rush to deny it. I know the gambling industry very well, and you even know it better than that."

Of course, the big spy leader is very familiar with this. He has a good relationship with UEFA and FIFA. He is simply a relationship of sharing spoils together. However, this is a confrontation between the state and he is the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He would rather not make any small money.

"Isn't this very good? Moscow will hold the World Democratic Games soon. You can understand that this Olympic Games is jointly organized by Moscow and Los Angeles, but they are divided into two venues." Serov's current status is not easy to blame as a real subordinate, and it is not easy to support an International Olympic Committee president.

Samaranchi can be used for at least a few decades, which is a very cost-effective deal for the KGB department.

"Can you promote this?" Samaranch's voice was a little timid. He dared not stick to his own opinions, even when facing Reagan and Carter, he didn't feel this way. Since being absorbed by the KGB, his entire world has changed. Now everyone feels it is unbelievable. He even has a thought in his heart that as long as he chooses to betray, he will be killed immediately.

Since serving as the President of the International Olympic Committee, this feeling has never disappeared. Even in Samaranch's eyes, many well-known figures in the world may be members of the KGB. This feeling is very correct. Even the second-ranked figure of the Federal German Socialist Party, Gint Guillaume, is a member of Stasi. What's so strange about the KGB having several world-renowned big names?

"You can promote this, but the Soviet Union will not respond." Serov, who turned his back to Samaranch, said calmly, "But the Soviet Union will not object to this kind of propaganda. This is also because your job is not easy. The boycott will continue, and it will not stop just because you come this time."

After hearing this, Samaranch knew that this persuasion had returned in vain, and because of the Soviet Union's attitude, Eastern European countries would definitely not cancel the boycott, but their work had to continue. He also wanted to prove to the Americans that he was indeed saving the Olympics held in the United States, even if it was superficial.

Under the will of countries like the United States and the Soviet Union, what an International Olympic Committee president can do is very limited. Samaranch's running around was destined to be futile, because the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan did not happen, and without comparison. The Soviet Union's boycott of the Los Angeles Olympics this time was not a counterattack, but a unilateral embarrassment to the United States. From a personal point of view, Reagan was walking on the street, and Selov in the corner suddenly appeared and gave him a brick, turned around and ran away.

On May 8, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Selov, officially announced in Moscow that Moscow will hold the International Democratic Games, which will be scheduled for the time of the Los Angeles Olympics and will open on the afternoon of July 28. All major Olympic stadiums in Moscow will be restarted, and all peace-loving countries in the world are welcome to participate.

After the news was released by the Soviet TASS, another earthquake occurred around the world. All countries understood that the Soviet Union was really playing this time. Not only did it boycott the Los Angeles Olympics, but it also held its own World Games at the same time.

"The Soviet Union's actions were to divide the world, which was tantamount to world peace. We all understand that this was not a problem of Grenada, but a problem of the Soviet Union." The White House spokesman accused the Soviet Union of unilateral provocations with a heavy expression. "A split world does not help the development of the cause of peace. The United States believes that the Soviet Union has become a threat to world peace."

"This is not what a country that is supporting the Nicaragua's anti-government armed forces should say!" Doberrenin, the first deputy minister of the Soviet Foreign Ministry, criticized righteously, "The United States will inevitably launch a war within ten years. This is the destruction of the cause of world peace. The Soviet Union's boycott is very reasonable, and so many countries support it is proof."

At this time, there are all kinds of news about boycotting the Olympics in the world. There are rumors that the Soviet Union has won the support of nearly 100 countries, and nearly 50 countries have already expressed their views. This rumor put huge pressure on the Los Angeles Olympic Committee.

"The first batch of invitations to the International Democratic Games must include China and India." Serov, who signed the budget with a pen, said while signing, "Ask them what they want, whether they want an aircraft carrier, and make one for them at a cost price."

A heavier blow came, and the gains of nothing came from President Samaranchi made a suggestion, which can be understood as the Olympics held by two cities, and the Soviet Union and the United States jointly hosted the Olympics.
