After Seryozha arranged the next move in Moscow, he handed over the initiative to Yakov. In order to ensure that things were safe, Seryozha also sent Hassan to Poland to assist Yakov in his work. Look at ΔΔshuge WwnW. "kan→shu→ge. la

After Yakov and Hassan felt Gdansk, they contacted the top leaders of the Solidarity Union through the local branch of the Mediterranean Trading Company. At Yakov's request, he and Hassan met the leader of the Solidarity union, the legendary electrician Reich Walesa.

Reich Walesa is one of the main leaders of the Solidarity trade union. His education level is not high and he has only received training in primary schools and vocational schools. Walesa was originally an electrician at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk. Dissatisfied with the government's price policy, the workers of Wałęsa Lenin Shipyard jointly launched a massive strike action in 1980 and became the actual leader of the Polish Solidarity trade union. Speaking of the Solidarity trade union, its main members are not only workers, but also some intellectuals and religious figures. People from all social classes who are dissatisfied with the Polish government use Catholicism as a bond, and many of their secret strongholds are arranged in churches.

However, although the Solidarity Union is famous, they cannot do without the help of the Gorky Brotherhood. You must know that a strike means that a large number of workers have no income. In addition, the economic situation in Poland has been deteriorating in recent years, and inflation and prices have soared. Without the financial support of foreign forces, Walesa and his Solidarity Union would have been unable to play. down.

Sergey knew who the benefactor behind Lech Walesa was. There may be a shadow of the United States in it, but the Pope who lived in the Vatican, the country of Italy, was born in Poland. Paul II was also one of the main patrons. The Pope visited Poland in 1979. He was extremely dissatisfied with the situation of religion and human rights in Poland under the administration of the Polish authorities. So after the Solidarity trade union launched a general strike in 1980, the Vatican secretly communicated with Walesa and others Song section.

The support of the Pope and Solidarity needs to be operated on behalf of the Gorky Brotherhood. The U.S. dollars aided by the Pope to Solidarity cannot be circulated in Poland and must be exchanged for the zloty, the currency of the People’s Republic of Poland. In addition, a small part of the cheap wheat Selozha smuggled from the United States was also sold to Poland. So it is not too much for Seryozha to let the Polish Solidarity Union take the blame.

Walesa is now the most wanted criminal in Poland, so it is extremely difficult to meet Walesa, but he still arranged a meeting with Yakov. The meeting place was in the underground wine cellar of a monastery in Gdansk.

"I have long admired your name, Chairman Walesa!" Yakov enthusiastically extended his hand to the other party. Walesa shook hands with Yakov and Hassan, then sat down and started talking about business.

"Chairman Lech Walesa, we need your assistance on a major matter! This matter has something to do with both of us. The fact that we smuggled food from the United States to Poland was exposed by the American media, and now there is a lot of trouble. I feel united The trade union had better stand up and communicate with the Pope..." Although Yakov said politely,

But he went to the world and asked Solidarity to do the work of the Pope. The meaning of this is Yakov needless to say that Lech Walesa will understand. If the food channel in the United States is cut off, then Lech Walesa's Solidarity trade union can only go to drink the northwest wind.

"What do you want me to do?" Walesa understood the seriousness of the matter after listening to Yakov's introduction, and he agreed to the matter without hesitation.

"It's very simple. I want you to write a personal letter to the Pope, introducing the relationship between the Solidarity trade union and the food smuggling incident. We will not let the comrades of the Solidarity trade union work in vain. If things go well this time If it is resolved, we will help you exchange zlotys in the future without charging intermediate fees, and besides, we can also provide you with more cheap goods!" After Yakov finished speaking, Walesa tensed The frown relaxed. A smile finally appeared on his always serious face.

"This is really great, we will not forget your support for Polish workers!" Walesa said excitedly.

Yakov sent this great gift, Walesa naturally had to do his best to handle Yakovtov's affairs. So Wawensa began to write this personal letter to Pope Paul II in front of Yakov. The relationship between Walesa and the Pope is extraordinary. Walesa once publicly went to the Vatican to meet Paul II. After this meeting, Paul II publicly praised the Solidarity trade union and asked the Polish government to meet the workers' demands. legitimate claim. This incident made Walesa famous among Polish workers. Not long after that, Walesa appeared on the cover of Time Magazine and won the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize.

Walesa's letter was written entirely in accordance with Yakov's request. In this letter, Walesa bluntly pointed out that Yakov's Mediterranean Trading Company is the strongest supporter of Solidarity. Is the most important friend of Solidarity. He hoped that the Pope could come forward and explain the relationship with the Americans to calm down the turmoil.

Yakov left Poland immediately after receiving the handwritten letter, while Hassan sat in Gdansk and continued to coordinate cooperation with the Solidarity union. After Yakov returned to Naples, Yuri and Ivankov had been waiting here for a long time.

"Have you got it?" Yuri asked as soon as they met.

"It went well, I have already got it. Lech Walesa is very easy to talk to!" Yakov said to the two.

"Then when are we going to the Vatican?" Ivankov then asked.

"Seryozha said to wait and see where the United States will start first!" Yakov replied.

One of the main reasons why Seryozha arranged for Ivankov and Yuri to go to the Vatican together was that he wanted Yuri and Ivankov to regain the asylum of the Vatican. They all got the status of Vatican diplomats. In addition, if the Pope came forward, the US arrest of Yuri would most likely be cancelled. As for Ivankov, his affairs are still a bit tricky, but if Paul II comes forward, it is not impossible to go ashore again.

Just after Yakov and the others came to an end, the Mediterranean Trading Company managed by Dongia filed a lawsuit in the New York District Court against the New York Times and the female reporter Zoe, accusing them of infringing on the right of reputation of Mediterranean Shipping. Then the American Farmers Association got involved.
