Chapter 82 Please Rest Assured the General Secretary

After the U.S. Congress announced the establishment of an investigation team against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the FBI seized the Fraternity Africa Foundation. The Soviet embassy in the United States also quickly notified the incident back home. Seryozha also knew about this matter through Glencore.

Seryozha soon received a summons request from Gorbachev. Sergey Sha did not dare to neglect, he told the driver to set off quickly. So in the middle of the night, Seryozha's Jill special car drove into the Kremlin.

When Seryozha arrived at the Kremlin, Foreign Minister Shevardnadze had already arrived at the Kremlin one step ahead of Seryozha.

Seryozha and Shevardnadze did not have much overlap in work. Shevardnadze became a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo and Minister of Foreign Affairs from the position of General Secretary of Georgia. His roots in Moscow are not deep, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the site of the current Supreme Soviet Chairman Gromyko for many years. Shevardnadze is still far from eating the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Comrade Seryosha, why are you here? Seeing Seryozha, Shevardnadze asked curiously.

"Comrade Shevardnadze, I have just been called, and I don't know what's going on!" Seryozha couldn't tell Shevardnadze that he knew why he was called today. Because Seryozha's sources are not normal.

Seryozha and Shevardnadze stood outside the door, waiting for Gorbachev to appear. They were afraid that the sound of chatting would disturb the general secretary's rest. However, when the door was opened, Gorbachev's hair was disheveled, and it was obvious that he rushed over without cleaning up.

Seryozha and Shevardnadze waited respectfully for Secretary Gorbachev to speak first. Gorbachev wasted no time, first asking Seryozha if he knew what it was that had brought him so late. Then let Shevardnadze recount the ins and outs of this matter. Seryozha had thought this matter over carefully on the way here. Seryozha feels that many things have come together recently. The Gorky Brotherhood has been going smoothly for so long, and it should have experienced setbacks. However, whether it is the Guantanamo incident or the food smuggling incident these few times, they are all earth-shattering events. Seryozha also wanted to keep a low profile, but one of these two incidents was caused by Ivankov and the other by grain trade. Seryozha had no choice at all.

"You understand the situation, let's talk about it now! Let's see if there is any remedy for this matter." Seeing that neither of them spoke, Gorbachev said first.

Among the people present, Seryozha had the lowest rank, so he did his part. Shevardnadze was the first to speak. He faltered and reported to Gorbachev: "General Secretary, our official contacts with the United States The channel has not been fully restored, so our Ministry of Foreign Affairs...you and the President of the United States agreed to establish a hotline between the two heads of state during the Geneva talks in November last year, so..."

"Hey,

Comrade Shevardnadze, that hotline is a necessary means to avoid a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union due to misunderstandings. Do you think it is appropriate to use it for communication on such disgraceful issues? "Although Gorbachev's tone was mild, his meaning made Waldnadze hear his dissatisfaction.

"General Secretary, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is responsible for this matter. Over the past few years, as the relationship between us and Western European countries has gradually eased, our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has opened some branches abroad and began to learn from the methods familiar to Western countries. Do business with them. The comrades abroad know that the great cause of reform is going on in the country, and they all hold back their energy. I think this incident must be that our comrades abroad were deceived by the bad guys. General Secretary, please don’t blame Comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation who work abroad all the year round, they are all for the motherland!" Seryozha did not want to cover up, since this matter has been leaked, Seryozha first wants to dispel General Secretary Gorbachev's criticism The doubts of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

"I can understand the hardships of comrades, but this matter has become a big deal now, which is very detrimental to the image of the Soviet Union! The matter started because of your Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and you, the deputy minister, have to shoulder the burden! "Gorbachev pointed to Sergey's chest and said in an orderly tone.

"General Secretary, please rest assured that I will live up to your expectations. I have already made a plan. The female reporter abroad has no evidence to accuse us. The Italian branch of our Mediterranean Trading Company will not swallow it. We have to communicate with "The New York Times" to the Bo court." Seryozha assured Gorbachev with confidence.

"Okay, Seryozha! I'm relieved that you can say that. I thought it would be a sleepless night tonight. After listening to you, I can sleep well! But Seryozha, you really have Do you?" Gorbachev's words were full of encouragement, but he still didn't believe it.

"Don't worry, General Secretary, we won't swallow the slander of imperialism!" Sergey Shariya reassured loudly.

...

After leaving the Kremlin, Seryozha immediately called Yakov. As soon as Seryozha asked about it, Yakov said that he had heard about it from Mark Rich. Seryozha now has an immature plan. He said to Yakov: "Yakov, do you still have contact with those Poles?"

"Of course, we sell some of our grain to them. The Solidarity trade union now even imports arms from us. You must give me some face!" Yakov said confidently.

"Yakov, I will let you Yuri and Ivankov take a risky trip to Italy. He has other tasks. You go to Poland and convince the leaders of the Solidarity union to take this matter down! Tell them, as long as they If I can get over this matter, I will give them whatever they want in the future, and I will not take a cent of the funds remitted to Poland from abroad to support them!" Seryozha announced to Yakov.

After Seryozha finished explaining the task on the phone, he contacted Mark Rich in Switzerland. Seryozha said to Mark Rich: "Mark, find someone to investigate that female reporter and see what background she has!"

"Sergesha, the U.S. Congress has set up an investigation team and started investigating my friends in the Farmers Association. They asked us what to do?" Mark asked with a little confidence.

"Mark, if Glencore is found, I'll go to court first. I still have some things to arrange. Don't worry, wait for my news!" Seryozha replied nonchalantly.

"Okay, boss!"
