He was not surprised at all when he visited these things. What surprised him was the appearance of Fultseva, the most powerful woman in the entire Soviet Union. Well, as a member of Khrushchev's reorganized Central Presidium, simply put, if you rank the power of the Soviet Union, you can't count it with one hand, but you can definitely count it with two hands.

Today's Fultseva rarely has elaborate makeup, well-dressed clothes, and is carefully prepared at first glance.Of course, only the secretary who often follows Fultseva knows about this careful preparation.

Allen Wilson didn't even listen to what the person who understood the introduction said, and secretly looked at Fultseva several times.

"The great achievements of the Five-Year Plan..." The Soviets at the reception chatted endlessly to express their love for the great motherland.

"Humph, hehe..." Alan Wilson laughed out of place, with a look of disdain on his face, as if it was written on his face that you continue to blow, I believe that even if I lose, it will be a hateful expression.

"What are you laughing at?" Fultseva couldn't help but said, with a posture of calm and prestige, and the Soviet cadres around her also seemed filled with righteous indignation, glaring at the imperialists in front of them.

"It's nothing, it's just amused." Alan Wilson was calm. As the permanent undersecretary of the British Foreign Office, he had diplomatic immunity anyway, so he wasn't worried about any security issues in Moscow.

"What's so ridiculous? Are you amused by the Soviet Union's nation-building?" Fultseva persisted. She was really angry now. As one of the masters of the Soviet Union, she couldn't bear a person treating her The mockery of the motherland.

"You want to hear?" Alan Wilson put his hands on his chest and said to himself, "Although we foreigners don't know much about the Soviet Union's information, the receptionist's words are a bit exaggerated. I am personally skeptical about the results of the so-called five-year plan of the Soviet Union."

Seeing a group of Soviet people looking uneasy, Alan Wilson continued without panic, "From the perspective of the Soviet Union, there are limitations to the development of many industries and agriculture. A children's palace can be completed in three months? Maybe it is really possible to rush the time." , but it will inevitably bring quality problems. Your country compares Vladivostok to San Francisco in publicity, and does not consider the impact of climate on the city? So why should I believe the so-called construction achievements of the Soviet Union? Huh? I am more Leaning towards the fact that the Soviet Union succeeded in planting maize in Siberia in the winter, and it might still be successful.”

The suitable time for construction in the Soviet Union is only three months per year. If you bite the bullet, the construction time per year is only six or seven months. This has brought many problems to the implementation of the Soviet Union's five-year plan.For example, when there is material, there is no time, and when there is time, there is no material.

Alan Wilson has lived in high latitude areas, and sleeping on the street may be uncomfortable in some places, but sleeping on the street in high latitude areas is not uncomfortable, that is a terrible thing.And the climate in the Soviet Union was even more severe than the environment in his previous life.

So that's the case, Fultseva said lazily, "This British gentleman may not know that the difficulties are temporary, and there are no ways to solve them. To produce concrete prefabricated parts, when there are materials but no time, I will Just produce and maintain the cement prefab, and when the time comes, I will install this prefab.”

"You know, it takes a long time to install this kind of cement prefabricated parts. The Soviet Union's method is simple and crude mechanization. The cost of cement prefabricated parts is much higher. Of course, you are a planned economy, and you can control the cost by reducing labor costs. It’s not that high, who made the Soviets happy to contribute.”

Alan Wilson was still a little gloating, and unceremoniously punctured the so-called prefabricated component method. This is the only way to do it, but he still didn’t forget to slap a sweet date, “I recognize some of the achievements made by the Soviet Union, but maybe It’s not as great as what you said, if what I just said offends, then I’m sorry, I can also praise the Soviet Union, for the current Soviet Union, I would like to call it an infrastructure madman, how about it?”

Such praise is not too much, the proportion of the Soviet Union's engineering volume in the construction field has reached 30.00%, which is not much worse than the sum of the rest of the world.The construction field has always been a headache for the Soviet Union. Why the Soviet Union cannot implement the two-year plan, but must implement the five-year plan, a very important point is the construction period of this factory.

"Obviously, those of you imperialists are just relying on your original accumulation and pointing fingers at those who build their own country." Fultseva smiled coldly, "Let's see who will do it in ten or fifty years. shed tears."

Of course the Soviet Union!Alan Wilson made a calculation, felt that this victory must belong to the free world, and said indifferently, "If you have this time to criticize imperialism, it is better to find a way to raise wages for construction workers. Don't treat them like cattle and horses. This is worse than anything else. Qiang, oh, I almost forgot, currency is worthless if it can’t buy something. In a sense, insisting on dedicating to a great cause is also a kind of propaganda that has to be adopted.”

Considering the relationship with the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson still put it mildly, so as not to stimulate the self-esteem of the Soviets.This is all for the consideration of national relations and is completely selfless.

Once some things started, they had to continue. During the one-day trip to Moscow arranged by the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson had to play the role of an enemy. He was fine, just as a warm-up before Nixon's arrival.

"The Soviet Union will definitely have a large overcapacity problem in many fields, but unfortunately we don't know the specific figures." Back at the Grand Hotel Ukraine, Alan Wilson told Foreign Secretary Macmillan about his great achievements today, which severely set back the Soviet Union. aspects of self-promotion.

"Fortunately, you are a diplomat, otherwise you might not be able to leave Moscow." McMillan said in his heart that the executive deputy secretary was really courageous, and pondered for a while, "We don't have the data of the Soviet Union, and the economic system operates differently. It's offensive, it's not London."

If it was London, Macmillan would not mind taking a strict stand and criticizing the Soviet Union, even if it was an obvious lie, but here is Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, so you have to think twice.

The foreign minister, who is tall and bowed his head decisively, has no tough style in London, showing a flexible moral bottom line, "We have to show our good side, instead of grasping the pain points of our opponents and constantly attacking them."

"Minister, what you said is too reasonable." Alan Wilson praised me for my submissive attitude in Moscow and my hard-hitting attitude in London. This is the foreign minister that Britain needs.

Tomorrow was the day when Nixon arrived in Moscow. Alan Wilson knew that the minister was going to rest, so he walked out of the room and went to the place arranged for him, "Who arranged this, why is it so far away."

Alan Wilson was arranged to live in a far away room, which was one of the reasons why he was angry today.

Pushing open the door and closing it behind his back, Alan Wilson thought about how to make a presence in the kitchen debate. Once he performed well, it might be an important capital for being promoted to the cabinet secretary. Then he almost peed in fear when he looked up. ,"Why are you here?"

"This is the Soviet Union. I can be wherever I want. Who dares to control me." Fultseva shook the key chain, her tone was the same as that of Alan Wilson in London more than ten years ago.

"It's different, Ekaterina. The style of life is completely different in the Soviet Union and in the UK." Alan Wilson swallowed and said in a low voice, "Lubyanka is not kidding."

"The National Security Council can still scare the British? They should be honored. The boss of the KGB is not even a member of the Central Bureau, so he is a threat to the Central Committee." Fultseva bent down and approached, "Mr. Wilson, Oh, sir, you are not so timid in London. What is the matter today?"

Fultseva is now one level above the head of the KGB, and the threat to her from the KGB is almost non-existent.It would have been a real problem if the KGB chairman had been at her level, but not now.

Fitness can delay aging. Alan Wilson swears that he never lied to Fultseva. This is his conclusion after observing the actresses. The sequelae are not without. Greta Garbo and the others are obviously much tougher now. , no longer the softness of the past, but how can there be a perfect way to delay aging?

"Have a good relationship with Brezhnev." Alan Wilson, who died before he was born, succumbed to the coercion of the cultural queen, temporarily forgetting what kind of shit free world.

Culture czar?Fultseva slightly raised her forehead and asked, "Where did you hear that name from?"

"I have studied Orientalism." Alan Wilson took back the initiative calmly, "I heard that you and your comrades have a little bit of unhappiness? You used to be the Minister of Education. Think about it, why did China Does history include the history of the Mongolian plateau? Mongolia is now an independent country.”

Fultseva's face was gloomy, she remained silent, and then she laughed, "Even a pure comrade will inevitably stumble, and the truth becomes clearer and clearer, which is normal."

"If there is wine, I really want to drink to this noble camaraderie." Alan Wilson nodded in approval.

After the battle with the cultural tsar, the outstanding representative of the old imperialism lost all spirit, followed the foreign minister to see Nixon who had just arrived in Moscow, and he was a little listless.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The verbal battle all night made Alan Wilson physically and mentally exhausted. After all, this is Moscow, not London. Fortseva is one of the most important figures in the Soviet Union. He is not. It is inevitable to be nervous. Satisfaction, the consequence of this kind of dissatisfaction, is his listlessness today.

"I heard Joseph talk about you." Nixon greeted Alan Wilson, "His friends don't have many friends, and you are the one who mentioned it more frequently. It seems that you are the same kind of people. I heard that you met with the Soviets yesterday. It's noisy."

Nixon was referring to the row over the tour, which he had been told by diplomats.

But the honorable Vice President of the United States, did not know that yesterday's fierce quarrel was not limited to the daytime.

"We should show a tough attitude towards the Soviets at an appropriate time." Alan Wilson looked like a defender of the free world, and with a bad mental state, it really seemed to be the case.

As for Foreign Secretary Macmillan, he seized the time to show the special relationship between Britain and the United States, because Nixon was also a famous anti-Soviet fighter, and the personal relationship between Alan Wilson and McCarthy also became a living sign to show the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

We walked and chatted together, in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, discussing how to promote the reputation of the free world.

Alan Wilson naturally began to belittle the Soviet Union's achievements again. He knew that not all of what he said was true, but he had to say that because of his position.

Many of the achievements of the Soviet Union are real, and it is a fact that infrastructure madness is not a noble name.This proves nothing but the degree of development of the Soviet Union.For example, as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in the UK, many constructions have been completed for a long time. The post-war Labor Party's transformation of London is also adequate, and it is completely sufficient.

Is it necessary to renovate all the cities in the UK?Isn't this duplication?Moreover, aging cannot be avoided after renovation. The Soviet Union now builds quite magnificent high-rise buildings, but in 30 or [-] years, they will be old and small?Then what?Rebuild it after dismantling it?

It’s not that Alan Wilson can’t build houses. He did it in the colonies. This kind of development model can be summarized as extensive development. What’s commendable?Anyway, he didn't find out.

The buildings displayed in the Soviet Union are not worthy of much attention. Although they look majestic, it is worth noting what is not displayed.

Now is the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan. In the approaching period of the 60s, the Soviet Union’s machinery manufacturing has serious overcapacity at this time. The Soviet Union’s solution is to upgrade the industry. 170 Four fully automatic assembly lines began to be put into production, the Five-Year Plan, the Soviet machinery industry invented more than 700 instruments and automation tools.

At this time, the Soviet Union was able to produce 21 kinds of precision machine tools. The special-type machine tools increased by [-] times, the precision machine tools increased by ten times, the broaching machines increased by eight times, the gear processing machine tools increased by five times, and the grinding machines increased by [-] times. On the basis of the original existing machinery.

Five hundred types of fully automatic and semi-automatic machine tools can be produced, and a large number of low-end machine tools have been eliminated.

Through mechanical automation, assembly line automation, elimination of outdated machine tools, replacement of gasoline engines with gas turbines, and replacement of low-probability power generation equipment with high-power power generation equipment, the level of mechanization in the fields of light industry, food, and construction has been improved, and the total number of Soviet machinery manufacturing has surpassed that of the Soviet Union. This is also the first time in world history.

The Soviet Union's machinery manufacturing has not lagged behind since then, and later imported machine tools from European countries as supplements, so the Soviet Union needs Toshiba's machine tools to make submarines?Can Japan's machine tools surpass those of Europe?how can that be possible.

The Toshiba incident was the result of the United States singled out Japan, the unlucky guy, when almost all countries in the free world were doing business with the Soviet Union. There was no such thing as Japan being so advanced that Soviet nuclear submarines could rely on it.

Alan Wilson is very suspicious that this is an advertisement set up for Japan to play in front of other Asian countries that are more backward after Japan was humiliated by the United States.

However, in front of the foreign minister and the vice president of the United States, he must turn a blind eye to these truly powerful places in the Soviet Union. Any development of the Soviet Union must be extensive development. To a certain extent, this is also true. However, Europe and the United States are nothing more than applied innovation.

As long as he looks down and generalizes, there is nothing he can't prove. He can also prove that the pyramid was built by Napoleon, so what's so difficult about it.

This derogation left a deep impression on Nixon, and Alan Wilson firmly grasped the character of a free world fighter. "It's time for the Soviets to see the gap with the free world."

"If the Soviets know what Sir Wilson said, they will definitely be unhappy." Nixon joked with a teasing face, completely unaware that the person who praised him had already fallen under the pomegranate skirt of the cultural tsar.

In the half of the world controlled by the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson really didn't dare to do anything, but could only be submissive to Fultseva.Just like how he handled Fultseva in London more than ten years ago, Feng Shui took turns.

Fultseva came home quietly, but was still heard by her son. Alekseev walked out of the room and looked at his mother with a strange look, "Mom, are you busy with work these two days?"

"That's right." Fultseva was stunned and then smiled, "The presidium has a lot of work, so I have to work overtime for two days."

"Mother has worked so hard." Alekseev looked like a good baby, and his strange eyes disappeared.

It's just that when he turned around, he was suspicious, why did his mother lie?The performance of Fultseva just now fits the characteristics of all liars. Although the journey of counter-revolutionary workers has just begun, he is sure that he is not mistaken.

For no reason, he remembered the passage in the movie, Dzerzhinsky's lines, "Look into my eyes..."

Throwing away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Alekseev said to himself, "Mother has mother's considerations, don't think too much."

The opening of the American Expo was carefully prepared by Washington, and Nixon himself came to Moscow to preside over the opening, which is an obvious proof.

The items displayed at the expo naturally represent the advancement of the free market in the United States, but it would be a lie to say that ordinary people in the United States have seen them now, as many products have not yet entered thousands of households.

The exhibition, which focuses on consumer goods and leisure goods, includes high-fidelity audio equipment, cinemas, home appliances and 22 cars, all carefully selected to show consumption rather than freedom.

Under the auspices of Nixon, the American Expo opened grandly, and the presence of British Foreign Secretary Macmillan demonstrated the unbreakable special relationship between Britain and the United States. The friendly interaction with Nixon made the host a little alone.

The Soviet Union also attached great importance to this exposition. The No. [-] figure Khrushchev attended the expo in person, and in the background behind him, there was a tall figure, who later controlled the Soviet Union for a long time. There is also a woman in the team, who is talking and laughing with Brezhnev, and seems to have a pretty good relationship.

Nixon and Khrushchev had their first confrontation while visiting the model kitchen of the sold house.A dialogue was launched around the housing issue. "Housing is the top priority. For many people in capitalist countries, housing will consume a lot of their labor fruits."

Khrushchev spoke first, because before Nixon arrived in Moscow, Alan Wilson had belittled the development of building houses in front of Fultseva. Knowing this, Khrushchev used this as a breakthrough to attack.

Alan Wilson took two steps back unconsciously, pretending to be an ordinary existence in the crowd, but the eyes of some British diplomats forced him to issue an order, and said in a low voice, "Pay attention to important things."

"The housing problem is not a burden to the United States." Nixon knew where the source was when he heard it, and said calmly, "Mr. Khrushchev, the house is not a burden to the wealth of the American people Luxury, this is completely different from your imagination. The wealth that the United States possesses today is, to some extent, itself a classless society. And the housing model you see is just what an ordinary American can have in the suburban fringe Housing, I'm definitely not exaggerating."

"The Soviet Union will also have them, and the Soviets have them only because they were born in the Soviet Union, and do not need other additional factors." Khrushchev said tit-for-tat, "Although Mr. Nixon kept saying that this is something that ordinary Americans can have. Yes, but not for much practical purpose."

"Mr. Khrushchev, let's continue watching." Nixon smiled slightly. He needed another exhibition area to prove this so-called practicality.Not long after, the two came to an exhibition area called Dream Kitchen,

In Nixon's eyes, freedom is consumption, and the two mean the same thing.Although at the opening ceremony just now, the topic of his speech was what is freedom, but now the conversation with Khrushchev is all about what Americans can consume.

In the dream kitchen exhibition area, a sweeping robot is running, which represents the advanced side of American society. He said to Khrushchev, "It can replace the so-called labor force."

"You'd think the Soviets would be dumbfounded by this exhibit. But the truth is that all new Soviet homes will have this equipment. In America you have to have money to get this house, but here you just have to be born Citizens of the Soviet Union are fine. If American citizens have no money, they have the right to sleep on the sidewalk. And you say we are slaves!"

Khrushchev shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Nixon, your admiration for consumption is really surprising."

"Actually, I have a question." At this time, Fultseva asked with a smile, "Vice President Nixon, are your so-called sweeping robots very common in the United States? Or are they limited to some high-society toys?"

Some American products are not universal, Fultseva has investigated it clearly, and the sources are absolutely reliable.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This expo hall is really good. It can be seen that the Soviet Union also attaches great importance to it, which has given the Americans enough face.

A certain gentleman with a guilty conscience who exposed the bottom line of the free world to the cultural tsar looked up and down as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"So what is the use of this sweeping robot? It doesn't exist in public life."

Although Fultseva was smiling, she asked aggressively, "As the vice president said, this kind of machine can replace the labor of housewives? It can even replace the wife. In the original harmonious relationship between husband and wife, the wife can be replaced by the machine. Replacement?"

Nixon used the terms housewife and woman interchangeably in conversations with Khrushchev.

This was also the common understanding of Americans in the 50s, and Nixon, as a politician, was not exempt from it.We must know that the feminist movement is currently considered by American conservatives as a traditional threat to American liberal values.

It was during the break in the conversation that Fultseva stepped forward to join the discussion, starting from Nixon's words.

Fortseva was a woman, and she was the highest and most powerful woman in the entire Soviet Union. As soon as she opened her mouth, she brought the topic to the issue of women's rights, and attacked Nixon's discourse loopholes.

"The motherland of women's rights is so terrifying." Alan Wilson muttered in his heart, but there were fully automatic electronic cameras recording it around, and it will soon spread all over the world.

Fully automatic electronic cameras are also not exhibited at the American Expo for the public, and not many people know about them.The only person in the Soviet Union who knows about it may be Fultseva. Don't ask, even Alan Wilson doesn't know how to leak it.

Apparently, Fultseva had been prepared for a long time, knowing that there might be heated debates, and when she learned of the existence of fully automatic electronic cameras, she thought of joining in to consider for her career.

Members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union punched in person, with terrifying power. A veteran politician, Nixon, obviously did not expect such a scene, and was not prepared at all, "Well, we respect women, and the free world certainly values ​​protecting family values. Ms Ertseva, you seem to have misunderstood something, I mean..."

"The meaning has been clearly revealed in Mr. Vice President's words." Fultseva rolled her eyes and said with a gentle smile, "It seems that the issue of equality between men and women is still in a very acute field in the United States."

"This kind of very abstract problem is different from person to person. For many families, this is their own problem. As a government, we cannot use administrative power to guide and order what to do. The US government cannot compete with the Soviet government. same, telling citizens what to do and what not to do."

Being suddenly attacked by Fultseva, Nixon was extremely passive for a while, but after a period of blank mind, Nixon, as a veteran politician, quickly found a way to deal with the female boxer, and mocked the big government of the Soviet Union .

At the heart of this current view of freedom in the United States is economic affluence and consumer choice within the context of traditional family life—a life of freedom that offers men far more opportunities to “pursue happiness” than women do.

When encountering a country like the Soviet Union, which is particularly dedicated to exporting women's rights, and Fultseva, a member of the Soviet Central Presidium, came down to fight in person, Nixon, who was stuck in his own thinking, didn't notice it for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Although the embarrassing moment just now was not long, it did let everyone see Nixon's embarrassing side.

"Ms. Fultseva, every country is different, with different cultures and different social systems. You cannot force the other party to accept your point of view just because of these differences." Seeing this situation, British Foreign Secretary Macmillan said directly To speak out in solidarity with Nixon is to practice the significance of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

This is also an important purpose of Britain's coming to Moscow this time, for fear that the United States will be alone in the Soviet Union's home court.

At this time, Macmillan didn't know the seriousness of the matter. He was also an old-fashioned politician, much older than Nixon, and he immediately stated his position when he saw the Americans suffer.

Alan Wilson stared at McMillan's back with a look that things were not simple, "From the looks of it, it is basically certain that your career as prime minister will be ruined."

The value of each vote of voters is equal, and male votes will not be used as two.

If the full version of the speech is leaked?At this time, Alan Wilson has even simulated in his mind whether the combination of Macmillan's illegitimate daughter issue and today's remarks will have unexpected consequences.

"That's right." Nixon, who was supported by McMillan, stabilized his mind and started another topic, "What Mr. Khrushchev said just now seems to make sense, but it is not true equality."

"It's not really equal." Alan Wilson winked, and a bunch of diplomats beside him began to flatter.

Taking advantage of this time, Fultseva returned to the back of the Soviet cadres and whispered behind Brezhnev, "The problem is not the Soviet Union and the United States, but from the perspective of the whole world, the Americans are even more speechless. "

The high standard of living in the United States can only represent the United States, not the whole world. There are many vast capitalist countries.Brezhnev nodded, quietly walked behind Khrushchev and whispered a reminder.

Nixon is still working hard to move back the disadvantages, "A free society emphasizes equality. As long as everyone is born with hands and feet, they can fight. Why should the government tax high taxes on strugglers to help lazy people? So Americans As long as you struggle, you can enter the ranks of the middle class. Although you are not rich and powerful, your life is also very easy. In contrast, no matter how hard you struggle, the people of the Soviet Union still have to be forced to distribute the products of life by the state. This kind of one-sided egalitarianism , is not real equality, but the fairness of forced distribution.”

"A one-sided evaluation of the Soviet Union or the United States is not the answer to this question. You must know that it is unfair to compare the living standards of the United States and Europe with other regions. The economy of Eastern Europe for hundreds of years cannot be compared with that of Western Europe. Bi, I believe that neither the United States nor the United Kingdom will deny that this is a fact. Let us choose a country with similar conditions and built from the ruins. How about North Korea and South Korea? I don’t know which of these two countries Mr. Nixon thinks Is life better?"
