Chapter 92: Americans with Low IQ
Unlike the enemy that Schellov thought, in the early Cold War, the FBI's work was even more arduous in order to resist the spread of various Soviet ideas in the local area. As the director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover, was the real controller of the US intelligence system in this era. By this year, Edgar Hoover had served as the director of the FBI for 35 years. The Soviet Union and his contemporary Yerov had already died, and he still sat firmly in this position.
The reason why Selov always thought Dulles was his opponent was because the CIA was fighting on the front line on the global battlefield and ignored the FBI director who had always been in charge of the local area.
"It's very young, haha! Dulles thinks that young people will be easy to deal with? The older they get, the more confused they are..." Edgar Hoover, who had read the information of Selov, grinned and said, "There are young and successful people in this world, and there are people who come from behind. Edgar Hoover is the former and has blocked the latter's path. He is already in his sixties and it is hard to remind people of the success of young people, but in fact he controls the US intelligence and law enforcement system earlier than Yagoda of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs at the same time.
Edgar Hoover was less than thirty years old and was already the director of the FBI, younger than Schellov now. If you had to find a person, you could only look for it from the history of the KGB, and Beria was barely qualified to compare with him.
After reading the information of his fellow travelers, Edgar Hoover picked up the phone and began to arrange preparations for tomorrow. After more than ten years of publicity after World War II, Edgar Hoover finally saw the hostile attitude of the American people towards socialism, but it also increased the difficulty for Khrushchev's trip to the United States. Edgar Hoover sent almost all the agents of the FBI to participate in Khrushchev's defense work. This was the first time that the United States used so much manpower to protect a foreign head of state. Ironically, the target of defending was the leader of the Soviet Union, the largest enemy of the United States.
Edgar Hoover picked up the phone and gave in detail to the heads of various departments for half an hour to do their best to protect Khrushchev. As we all know, American guns are legal, and countless people want to make big news! Before Khrushchev came to the United States, Sherepin, who was far away in Moscow, had already spoken out. As long as someone assassinated Khrushchev, even if it was not successful, a nuclear war would inevitably be inevitable. Edgar Hoover certainly did not believe Sherepin's intimidation. But today, the opponent of Yu Nixon, the youngest vice chairman of the KGB, also reached Edgar Hoover.
First, the FBI estimates that at least 25,000 Americans wanted to kill Khrushchev during his visit to the United States. The security agency of the Second Soviet Union, the terrifying KGB, has informed their American partners very bluntly that even the unsuccessful assassination of Khrushchev could trigger a nuclear attack on the United States by the Soviet Union.
Compared with Sherepin's threat of nuclear war, Sherepin seemed much more honest. Once Khrushchev was assassinated, the entire US Senate's funeral speech sounded more sincere. Under various threats, Edgar Hoover couldn't help but be careless.
Edgar Hoover knew that there were many people in secret who were dissatisfied with him, but one thing he had a clear conscience. He was the defender of the United States of America and preventing the country from falling into danger was naturally part of his duty.
The next day, Selov got up early in the morning and was still doing the same work yesterday. Given that he was heading to New York today, Selov took more rigorous preparations. In addition to being more cheerful, two guards were carrying capsules, one containing an instrument for checking bombs, and the other even more exaggerated! It is an instrument used to detect radioactive substances to prevent anyone from using radioactive substances to assassinate Khrushchev.
"Look at these Americans, they all come to see if the Soviet leaders are demons!" Khrushchev said to the entourage behind him. In addition to the Khrushchev and his wife, there was also Khrushchev's official US tour guide Henry Locke. Before coming to New York, Khrushchev had just talked with the poor tour guide about the prospects of the nuclear war through an interpreter.
"At least there are many FBI people mingled among them, the ratio is about fifty to one!" Selov calmly stared at the movements in the crowd, looking for figures like agents. Here we can see the difference between the United States and the Soviet Union. When Nixon visited the Soviet Union, the Soviet security personnel were soldiers wearing KGB uniforms, and this time the Americans arranged for them were plainclothes spies.
"Yuri, in fact, it is best for us to pretend that we don't know anything about this kind of scene. Never immoral guy Nixon!" Khrushchev was still waving his hand, with a natural smile on his face. But his words were obviously dissatisfaction with Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union.
"I know the First Secretary!" Selov nodded. Whoever said that the United States would not play the trick of welcoming the streets, but the United States could not play through the government. Just guide it through the newspaper, it was completely the same as the Soviet Union welcomed foreign leaders.
Khrushchev's convoy did not stay in the crowd for too long, which made Selov breathe a sigh of relief. After looking at today's itinerary, he immediately arranged for personnel to enter the dinner place with testing equipment on his back, and then followed Khrushchev and his wife into the US city government.
"Yuri, don't be so nervous. Americans won't assassinate me so stupidly! They know what the consequences are!" Looking at Selov who used instruments to detect toxic substances, Khrushchev was also helpless. Finally, Selov confirmed that there was no problem and let Khrushchev sit down.
Shelof did not estimate the feelings of the New York City government and some of the elites present at all. He grinned and said with an unprecedented serious attitude, "Comrade First Secretary, I have never doubted the IQ of the US government and the elite! The elites in the United States are a very amazing enemy and a rival we respect! But personally, the people who cannot believe are the masses of the United States, and the American people are completely representative products of low IQ. These people are ignorant and terrible, and have no idea about things outside the United States. They do not know some very simple common sense at all!"
Selov's words were said to Khrushchev, but they changed the color of some elites present. Someone said angrily on the spot, "This is a free land, and the people have the right to express their attitude!"
"But if the assassination means are used, it may lead to the arrival of a nuclear bomb!" Selov turned around without any concession, squinted his eyes and looked at the well-dressed guys and said, "If it were the Soviet Union, I could reason with the people. Even if the people do not welcome the Americans, the Americans will maintain a peaceful attitude, because the people know what attitude is most beneficial to the country! To be honest, from the perspective of the broad masses of the people, the ordinary people in the United States are more like a group of fearless potential mobs. This is related to your American adopting an elite education model of different education, otherwise the Americans would not be so bad..."
"I know how to protest but I don't know why I protest, and express my opinions by shouting slogans! The American people are so pitiful, they don't know what quality is!" Shelov beat around the bush for a long time, but in fact he wanted to tell these elites that Americans have poor quality and low IQ!
