Big Time 1958

   "Chairman, will our actions give Americans an excuse to attack? You must know that tomorrow is the day Reagan takes office." Zinev knew that this was also a factor that the Polish Solidarity trade union had always tolerated by the Soviet Union.

"Polish immigrants are not worth mentioning compared to the Jews in the United States. I want to use this incident to educate the Poles and let them know that even the United States, which is very willing to trouble the Soviet Union, divides people into three, six and nine. Wait. Compared with the Jews, the ideas of the Poles will not be taken seriously at all." Serov hummed and laughed, and said with a cold face, "Do as I say, how to do it, we can wait for the result. "

  January 20 is the day when the President of the United States takes office. The current President of the United States is Ronald Reagan, a second-rate actor. In all fairness, almost everyone has little hope for the US president. Even Americans themselves think so.

   If there is one person who is an exception, it is Reagan himself. As for the supporters, one person has to be mentioned, Audrey Hepburn, the Oscar-winning actress, who played a huge role in helping Reagan canvass votes in Hollywood.

  People are in constant change, so was Reagan. Audrey Hepburn's support for Reagan is very precious in Hollywood. After World War II, Reagan was the most active internationalist in Hollywood. He called for the banning of the atomic bomb and opposed the American aid to Peanuts. There is no political topic that he is not involved in. However, since then, Reagan's political stance has also quietly changed. He initially did not believe that communism was a real threat to the United States, but with the breakup between the Soviet Union and the United States, Reagan's experience in the Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee made him With a new understanding of communist activities in the film industry, the anti-Soviet stance has since become firmer.

   Of course, the most important point, even Reagan himself would not deny, is that the theorem that the **** determines the head played a role in him. Reagan's agent helped him secure a million-dollar contract, which was considered a step into the wealthy class. At that time, the personal income tax rate was the highest in American history, so Reagan did not like the Democratic Party's high tax policy.

   Holding down the excitement of realizing his dream, Reagan began to give his inaugural speech, first thanking his campaign team, of course, including Audrey Hepburn, who has always supported him.

"Today is a very solemn and solemn moment for some of us. Of course, it is an ordinary event for the history of this country. The power of government is being handed over in an orderly manner as required by the Constitution, and we It's been such a routine formula for two centuries, and few people think it's anything special."

"So, as we begin, let's look at the actual situation. We are a nation with a government - not a government with a nation. This is what sets us apart in the United Nations, where our government is in addition to being granted by the people. power, and nothing else. Now that the expansion of government power is showing signs of exceeding the consent of the governed, the time has come to stop and reverse this.”

"The reason we have been able to achieve great things over the years and achieve prosperity like no other people in the world has ever achieved is because more than ever in this land we have maximized human potential and individual genius; here more than any other The freedom and dignity of the individual is more accessible and guaranteed anywhere. The price of obtaining that freedom is sometimes quite expensive, but we are never willing to pay that price.”

   "As we pass our time on this land, the world will see that we are more powerful, and we will once again be a model of freedom, a light of hope for those who are not yet free."

"Every headstone here is a memorial to the heroes I've mentioned. They're in places called Bellewood, Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno, in Guarda, half a world away Karnael, Tarawa, Dupai Mountain, Changjin Waterfront, and a place called Vietnam -- a place with lots of rice fields and jungles -- gave their lives."

   We were told that we found a diary on his body. On the title page was written the title: My oath. He wrote these words, "America must win this war. To do this, I will fight, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will and will fight valiantly to the best of my ability, as all All war issues will be shouldered by me alone."

   Press the remote and the live broadcast on the TV disappears. This is Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, the Great Kremlin, a symbol of power. No one would have thought that a group of Soviet powerholders were watching the inaugural speech of the President of the United States.

"He mentioned Changjin Lake and Vietnam. He wants to fight? Why does he? He dares to fight us?" Defense Minister Ustinov slapped the table and shouted, "Today is 19 In 1981, we have recovered from the death toll of more than 20 million in the Great Patriotic War. Our industrial production capacity is larger than that of the United States. In the entire Eurasian continent, we, the Soviet Union, said this was correct, and no one would object. This second-rate Why should the actor fight against us, just rely on him?"

Taking a sip of water slowly, Serov licked his astringent lips and said in a long voice, "Today, no matter what the Americans say, I'm not afraid of them. Once the Warsaw Pact army starts, it will take two weeks. will reach the Atlantic Ocean. The entire Eurasian continent, we have the advantage in every aspect. As time goes by, our advantage will get bigger and bigger, he wants to fight with us? Very well, this time I want the Americans life."

   "Comrade Tykhonov, there should be no problems with domestic economic work." Brezhnev, who was silent, suddenly raised another irrelevant question, which was asked of Tykhonov, Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Kosygin has retired for medical reasons and is currently recovering. Tikhonov, the first vice-chairman of the Council of Ministers, officially became the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, leading the work of the Soviet government.

"Yes, General Secretary!" Although Tykhonov didn't know why Brezhnev suddenly asked this question, it did not delay him from maintaining a submissive attitude. He was also promoted by Brezhnev. up cadres.

"Yeah!" Brezhnev agreed softly, and suddenly said, "Reagan's inaugural speech did not shy away from war, which proves some remarks that after Reagan took office, it is impossible to change his anti-Soviet attitude. The mainstream is confrontation. The Soviet is not afraid of confrontation. Who does he think he is? Well, let's wait for the result. In this case, there must be no problems in the domestic economy, and it must be able to support the confrontation between the motherland and the United States, Tihonno Husband, you have a great responsibility."

   "I will do everything possible to make the country have sufficient economic strength." Tikhonov earnestly assured.

"The National Congress will be held next month. Comrade Andropov, Comrade Chernenko, prepare the relevant report. This congress will determine the domestic and foreign policy of the motherland for the next five years. You two should take good care of yourself. preparations." Brezhnev looked at his two main assistants again, and said earnestly, "This meeting is very important, very important."

   "Yes!" Andropov and Chernenko nodded, both of them being very respectful, without any abnormality.

   For a long time, Brezhnev did not continue to speak, as if he was resting, and finally said, "Maybe I can't continue to meet the next opponent, but I will try my best to make the country go further and further."

"The victory of this confrontation will inevitably end with the complete defeat of the United States. I have never had any doubts about this." Serov said while grinding his teeth, "Our ideals, the people's hopes, all fall on us. No matter who, which country, dares to stand in our way, they will be crushed mercilessly."

"We can do it!" Brezhnev waved his hand a little tiredly, "I'm tired, I have something important to tell me with a report, the meeting is over!" After speaking, Brezhnev stood up slowly. Get up and slowly leave the conference room.

On January 23, Serov presented a report on behalf of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union, asking for an explanation of the Jewish immigration wave in Poland in 1968, and asking the Polish government to accept the investigation of other Warsaw Pact countries to deal with some of the Jewish gatherings in that year. illegal and violent behavior. Then the GDR, Bulgaria, Romania, and Czechoslovakia followed up and expressed their willingness to help Poland solve this problem. This is a very obvious pressure, especially the person leading the investigation is Serov.

  Some Polish groups overseas frequently protested, and even asked Margaret Thatcher and President Reagan to put pressure on the Soviet Union. The voice of such overseas Polish groups, Serov did not block, nor did the Polish government block it. It spread all over Poland in an instant. Some Poles, who knew that the Polish government was under pressure, waited with hope in their hearts.

"They can't wait for anything. In terms of the importance of Jews and Poles to Britain and the United States, fools know where Reagan and Thatcher are on each other." Serov tilted his head and said, "Continue to put pressure on the Polish government, Let the joint investigation teams of various countries be stationed."

  Reagan and Thatcher were very willing to make trouble with the Soviet Union, especially if they only expressed their position and let Poland become the Soviet Union. But they couldn't do it. Even the demonstrations and protests of Poles in Britain and the United States did not make the pages of important newspapers. On the contrary, the vast majority of newspapers believed that the Soviet Union's move was a just move. Both the UK Labour Party and the US Democratic Party said the Soviet Union's role in the matter was appalling.

   The fire of hope that some people in Poland had just ignited was quickly extinguished by the mainstream media in the United Kingdom and the United States.
