Although Gorbachev has visited Canada before, his visit to the United Kingdom is more meaningful than Canada.

This is determined by Britain's position in the Western countries camp. The United Kingdom has always been in the second place in this camp. If Gorbachev had any discussion with the British Prime Minister, then the United States would definitely be clear about it.

Since the outbreak of the war in Afghanistan, the friendly relations between the two major camps of the United States and the Soviet Union have suddenly deteriorated. The supreme leaders of the two superpowers broke off contact with each other. On several occasions, out of misjudgment of NATO operations, Soviet strategic bombers have taken off with nuclear warheads. In fact, the world has fallen into the most dangerous moment more than once.

Gorbachev hoped to use the words of the British to tell the American leaders that the Soviet Union was willing to ease the situation with the United States. Gorbachev's visit represents the future policy of the Soviet government, which is also one of the reasons why the Politburo has been fighting for the opportunity of this visit to the UK.

In fact, in this situation, the people who can serve as the messengers of the two camps of the East and the West are definitely VIPs in the eyes of the Soviet government and the US government. Because they can pass messages to each other through informal channels at critical moments. The most powerful of such people is Comrade Hamer, who is the most important news transmitter in the eyes of China, the United States and the Soviet Union. And Hamer also gained unparalleled international space by relying on this detached position. Even in the era when McCarthyism prevailed, Comrade Hamer still has not received any criticism from the government.

Sergei's status in Britain now resembles that of Comrade Hamer. Not only has he become one of the foreign members of the Bankers Association, he is also a guest of many British entrepreneurs and officials. He is also Gorbachev's most trusted trade representative. It is precisely because Sergei Shah has a background similar to that of Comrade Hamer that he can come and go freely in the British upper class.

Early the next morning, Dennis, the prime minister's husband who was staying in London, called and regretfully said to Seriosha: "The people from MI6 rejected my invitation to you. They are too stubborn!"

"It's okay, Dennis! I know you did your best!" Sergei reassured on the phone.

"I'm sorry Selesha, but I have a private house on the outskirts of London. If I can, I would like to invite Mr. Gorbachev as a guest here!" Dennis suggested on the phone.

"Thank you for your kindness, Dennis! I think I want to ask Secretary Gorbachev to give you an answer!" Sergei replied.

After hanging up the phone, Sergei immediately explained this to Gorbachev! Gorbachev didn't struggle too much with this matter, and he seemed to be more satisfied with Dennis's alternative. After all, if you can accept the private invitation of the prime minister's husband, the effect of publicity will be better for the outside world.

So after getting Gorbachev's consent, Sergei immediately told Dennis the news here.

After finishing all these things, Sergey Sha called Yakovlev aside and asked in a low voice: "What instructions does the general secretary have regarding the merger of the Foreign Trade Bank with the Mediterranean Trading Company?"

Yakovlev turned his head and glanced at Gorbachev in the room, pulled Selesha aside and whispered: "Selesha, Secretary Gorbachev has agreed to this matter! Sergey, that Zhuravlev is not a good person. I think that when Brezhnev’s son Yuri was the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Zhuravlev was not like the Ministry of Interior. Xiaolukov gave up power like that! Do you think he can get you into the Foreign Trade Bank so easily?"

"This... To be honest, the dean, since I arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, I have not had many opportunities to meet with the minister. He always did his job, and I did mine! I really didn't see that the minister was what you said. People!" Sergey Sha said truthfully to Yakovlev.

"That's because the greater the results you have done, the more benefits he will get! If you do well, it will be his leadership, but if you do not do it well, it will be your poor work! Do I still need to teach you this matter?" Yakovlev said politely.

"Then what do you say, if I are not allowed to participate in the work of the Foreign Trade Bank, I am afraid it will affect our resource-for-food business!" Xie Liaosha asked for advice.

"Don't worry, Gorbachev also hopes that you can hold the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but you are too young! Secretary Gorbachev meant that Zhuravlev was transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. We can Send him to the Republic of Moldavia to serve as deputy secretary! But you still cannot be a minister, you have to find someone who can be controlled by you to be your boss! Do you understand what I mean?" Yakovle The husband stared at Seresha, lowered his voice and said.

"You mean let me find a puppet to be my boss?" Sergey asked in surprise.

"Pop!" Yakovlev patted Selesha's forehead, pretending to be angry and said: "What are you talking about? Just know it!"

"Do you have a candidate?" Sergey asked.

"No! The secretary meant that you choose this person! We are only responsible for helping you with the organization process!" Yakovlev said.

Xie Liaosha thought about www.readwn.com and soon there was a suitable candidate. So he immediately said: "When I was in Gorky, Nikonov, the first deputy secretary of the Gorky region, was kind to me. Anyway, he is about to retire, and he has always been engaged in party affairs! For the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Said, there is no more layman and more suitable minister than him!"

The first thing Sergei remembered just now was Boris’ girlfriend, Lilia’s father who was the deputy secretary in Gorky State. The old man's career has come to an end, and there is almost no possibility of promotion. Anyway, the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is also a puppet, and it happens that Nikonov stands in this position for himself! By the way, he can also be raised by one level himself. This is the best of both worlds!

"Okay, since you have decided, let's make arrangements like this! But you have to wait for the National Congress in February at the earliest. There is one more thing, Sergei, the Communist Youth League system, you'd better go on, after all, foreign trade and economic cooperation. The assistant minister of the Ministry is not a full-time post! Many things can only involve you unless you make an exception. Secretary Gorbachev would like to ask if you are willing to serve as the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League at the same time! You have to know that the Communist Youth League trains cadres for the party The cradle is a very important position! As long as you come forward, no one can fight with you!" Yakovlev asked at last.

"Dean, I was trained by the Youth League Committee. I am willing to take on the responsibility of the Youth League Committee and be a good family!" Xie Liaosha replied solemnly.
