"Negotiation is negotiation. I hope President Reagan is more sincere. He uses force to force his opponent to submit. It is okay to deal with ordinary countries, but it is still a little bit too hard to deal with the Soviet Union." Selov said indifferently, "Besides, it is not only the Soviet Union. North Africa is not a region of interest in the Soviet Union. I believe you understand."

Another player is naturally France. If the United States and the Soviet Union want to confront each other, they have to deal with it with all their strength. How can they have the energy to deal with the French? Unless Reagan can exchange major interests, Selov is not afraid. He also grasped France's weakness, a formal member of the Communist International, and the Algerian Workers' Party. The conflict between the interests of the state and the country cannot be explained simply. The French have the most say in how to weigh and choose.

"But I have to doubt the Soviet Union's position. I really think what you said, to save the hostages, I am still silently smearing the United States." Reagan actually wanted to ask whether he was smearing himself.

"Of course it's to save people!" It's mainly to smear yourself. Selov doesn't care. Whoever feels uncomfortable in this situation now knows. The reason why Reagan is not as anxious as Carter is mainly because Reagan has been re-elected successfully. But this does not mean that these hostages are not important. If Reagan wants to step down safely, he will not be scolded and have to properly handle the hostage crisis.

The Soviet Union was not anxious about this matter. It was something else to worry about, but it was necessary to release a certain amount of smoke bombs to ensure real benefits. The diplomatic field cannot solve everything. Many protracted negotiations actually did not matter. The final result was not important. The endless talk was actually to exchange for concessions in other places. Or waiting for another incident to happen to break the deadlock, which was no different from clocking in at work.

Serov didn't understand this principle before, but now he understands it, so he generally does not put his hope on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Instead, he relies on the KGB to solve the problem. When it is really irreversible, he will find a way from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In his eyes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just a communication channel, and only when it is truly critical, it is a channel for communication with the United States.

Now the two are the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the other is the president of the United States. They are no longer a big spy and third-rate actors, and the situation like the ones they met earlier will never happen again. The bit by bit of temptations at the beginning, accompanied by confusion about the other party, and they think inside whether there is a possibility of making a big fortune with small ones.

Reagan is more anxious about the issue of hostages in Libya. Selov is also anxious about other issues. It is also a confusion to put forward so many questions at once to discuss them.

Soon Reagan calmed down and began to test Selov on other issues. He did not believe that the Soviet Union had no place to seek the United States, and it was impossible to have no choice at all. If this were the case, there would be no meeting this time.

The reason is too simple. If the Soviet Union did not seek help from the United States and had an advantage in all areas, how could it be possible to let General Secretary Selov come out to meet him? There must be an issue that the Soviet Union is very concerned about. The question is which one is this proposal? So the second round of temptation initiated by Reagan began...

Regarding the strategic missile defense system, which is the Star Wars plan initiated by Reagan, and the Soviet Union decided to face it. Reagan first described the US position indifferently that the medium-range missile treaty must not be tied to the Star Wars plan.

"It is very dangerous to try to change the current situation, and the United States may not win." Selov replied coldly, "Once the United States loses, the Soviet Union's nuclear advantage will become an absolute advantage. I really don't know if the Americans will regret it for your choice."

"How can the United States' technological power lose?" Reagan was very confident in his country's technology. Of course, he did not forget to observe Serov's expression when speaking. This kind of dialogue is still a test.

Reagan believed that there must be something that the Soviet Union really cares about in the things he was talking about today, but he didn't know it yet. The two mentioned the Libyan hostage issue, the Star Wars plan and the Medium-range Missile Treaty respectively. They were very restrained in their words. Through the other party's expressions and actions, what was the other party's weakness?

It is very difficult to see through an actor's disguise, but Schellov can do it, and at the same time, he uses it to hear and witness it from the KGB to prevent Reagan from seeing the flaws in himself. Two hours later, the two came out of the small building and performed another wave in front of the waiting group of reporters. After leaving, they took the bus back to their residence separately.

"Shelov has been working as a spy for decades, and he has done a great job of disguising his work. I can see where his bottom line is. He is a difficult person to deal with." Reagan said to his wife Nancy after returning.

"Although Reagan is an actor, there is no one I can't see through. He thinks Star Wars is the most important thing, it's very good. I'm accompanying her for two days." Selov did not bring his wife here. Valia did not like the climate of Iceland. The Soviet Union's seasonal tourism is a tradition. She will never leave the sunny beach in summer and come to Iceland to see seaweed.

Women have always decided on such things at home, but the big ones are still small around them at home? Such small things can't be hidden from the old hooligan. After taking the little Valia's water, Selov began to think about the temptation afterwards.

I believe this is also Reagan's idea. In different places, this confrontation continues, just like the Cold War environment.

Most people think that the Soviet Union valued the Star Wars plan the most. If Reagan could be allowed to abandon the Star Wars plan, it would fundamentally ease the increasingly tense relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union since the 1980s. What do most cadres in other countries and the Soviet Union, and even important newspapers of the Soviet Union, think that signing the medium-range missile treaty is more important. Anyway, Serov also knows that Star Wars has basically no effect, and strategic defense and missile penetration are not difficult at all, so naturally they are not afraid of Reagan's mouth.

From today's contact, he also felt that Reagan's ideas were no different from ordinary people. The strategic missile defense system was his biggest move so far, and he would never give up because of the Soviet Union's proposal. On the contrary, he did not pay much attention to the medium-range missile treaty, which was just a comfort to the Western Europeans, an accompanying item of this talk.

"This is fine. Let's talk about Star Wars tomorrow." Selov said to himself, preparing to talk to Ligan and talk about the president's proud work, and the meeting on the second day of the Star Wars began.

The two pretended to be intimate photos and spread to all over the world through journalists in Iceland. This deception has caused a huge effect. Some European optimistic media predicted that the most dangerous time has passed, and both the Soviet Union and the United States must accept the reality that each other has lived in the same world with themselves for a long time.

Many countries can accept this reality, but Schellov and Reagan both feel that they cannot accept this humiliation. Even if there is only a very slim chance, both of them will choose to let the other party die.

The population of Iceland is just that. Although Icelanders know that two big names have come to their country, they still live as usual. Icelanders in the 1980s continued to do their own traditional projects, go to factories to work, and go to sea to fish. Of course, they will also receive some tourists from Europe, but they are still neglected compared to the former.

Unlike the Icelanders who stayed at sunrise and sunset, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union continued here. Selov was not afraid that most of the country would be unfriendly to the Soviet Union. Anyway, Kirov had nuclear bombs on his face, so he could do everything in order to ensure his safety.

"If we always talk like this, it will be meaningless. The United States still lacks sincerity." Selov returned what Reagan said yesterday. The Soviet Union has always advocated discussing the issue of medium-range missiles with the Star Wars plan. The United States has always refused. This is the decision of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself. As the General Secretary, he did not interfere.

Now that the Star Wars plan is raised, Selov also said that he pays great attention to this matter and shows his attitude.

The two of them continued to test each other, and the relief of playing mentality was very boring, but it was a necessary process. During most of the time we met, Selov talked about the Star Wars plan. Of course, he could not do the cowardly behavior of Go Map, but took the launch of the Soviet Mir space station, indicating that the Soviet Union's technology was stronger and the Americans could not win at all.

"Isn't the launch of the Mir space station still telling the problem? Especially after the US Challenger volley exploded at the beginning of the year, the technical reliability of the two countries can be ended."

As long as the goal can be achieved, the General Secretary will not care about hatred. So what if the scar is exposed? The United States rarely disgusted with the Soviet Union? Reagan was unmoved on this issue and calmly answered, "But the last space race was the first time the United States landed on the moon, and the General Secretary seemed to be more forgetful..."

"Winning a hundred battles and winning once, this can be a reason for boasting. It's the first time I've seen it." Schellov looked at Reagan teasingly, and said with a frivolous look on his face, "The shamelessness of the media in the United States is really worth learning."

The whole world is paying attention to the meeting of the two. As time goes on, Reagan also understands that the Soviet Union's real purpose is to hope that the United States will give up its Star Wars plan. After knowing this, Reagan feels relieved and is ready to make the Soviet Union make concessions.
