MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 875 Visit Yugoslavia
"This is a good start for the international communist movement!" In response to Andropov's speech, there was thunderous applause from the 5,000 delegates from all over the world in the Kremlin Auditorium.
The Communist Party of Western Europe represented by France and Italy, and China became observers of the Comintern. Like the vast majority of parties that supported the Soviet Union, these communists also expressed support.
"This is the best result for us. If we really join in, it may constrain us. This is not a good thing!" Serov, who was smiling, clapped his hands and communicated with Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov beside him. "To make sure things don't get out of hand, it's best not to let these parties have the decision-making power," he said.
"A group of bourgeois parties still want the rights of working-class alliances. It's a joke." Marshal Ustinov agreed. "It's better that we don't join in, and we can't let them in." Nodding, expressing full recognition of the military's opinion, to the heart, this organization is serving the Soviet Union, but it cannot be stated clearly.
So the result of the discussions among the members of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union was that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would not enter the World Congress, the highest authority of the Comintern, and would also prevent Italy, France and China from entering it to gain decision-making power.
The Soviet Union will support the Communist Parties in small and medium-sized countries and establish the highest authority of the Comintern. At the same time, the parties in these countries are also very easy to be controlled by the Soviet Union. As long as the Soviet Union wants to do this, no one else can rob the Soviet Union.
In the subsequent elections, the Soviet Union followed this model and nominated Afghanistan, Vietnam, Kurdish, Iraq, Iran and the GDR to the World Congress to form the highest authority of the Comintern.
Because France, Italy and China have their own reasons, they are only observers of the Comintern, which is doomed to see the intentions of the Soviet Union and cannot prevent the Soviet Union's proposal from being passed. Soon the elections for the World Congress, including the Cuban Communist Party, were completed, and most of the members were **** pro-Soviet parties.
The Soviet Union is still there. Of course, this influence belongs to the Soviet Union, and other parties cannot take it away. Good at using this influence, at least in the midst of the socialist movement, Moscow is not afraid of any challenger. In the 1980s, the world communist movement no longer had such a recognized leader, and since there was none, no one could point fingers at the Soviet Union.
The news of the official establishment of the Comintern spread to the whole world at a very fast speed. In response to the International League for Democracy, the Comintern, which had been dissolved for forty years, was resurrected. The Soviet Union made Communist and Workers' Parties in more than 170 countries all over the world become members of the Comintern in one shot.
The news of the establishment of the Comintern was combined with the establishment of the International League of Democracy some time ago. It caused a huge earthquake in the world political arena, although many political parties understood that the Soviet Union had departments that did the original work of the Comintern. But nominally the Soviet Union is no longer so aggressive, and the difference between the existence and non-existence of the Comintern is very big.
When it appeared, it directly gave the Soviet Union a platform to lead the communist parties of other countries. Fierce opposition ensued, and the representatives of the French and Italian communists faced enormous pressure from their own countries when they returned. After all, compared with China, the Communist Party of France and Italy, which take parliamentary struggle as the main line, and other parties are pointing fingers.
"We must join, or Italy will be isolated by more than 170 fraternal parties!" Bellinger, president of the Italian Council of Ministers, said in response to such accusations, "We cannot be isolated, and the addition of Italy and France, It will make the Comintern more inclusive, so that it will not become a situation where the Soviet Union dominates.”
"Whether all countries admit it or not, the current state of the world is very stable. Italy needs to have good relations with the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time. We have our own values. I believe that both the United States and the Soviet Union should be clear about this. The Soviet Union All the leaders of the past should understand the role played by the Italian team in the development of the Soviet Union. From the time of Khrushchev and Comrades Brezhnev, it has continued to the present." Bellinger faced the accusation of the Catholic Democratic Party At the time, he retorted, "Members of the Catholic Democratic Party, please understand that no matter what, we are all Italians. After Reagan came to power in the Cold War, the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States has declined sharply. At this time, our two parties need to unite. "
"Prime Minister Bellinger, I personally agree with you." Piccoli, the leader of the Catholic Democratic Party, said after a moment of silence, "From the establishment of the International Democratic League to the establishment of the Comintern, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union is rapidly escalating. Europe seems to be driven by the United States and the The confrontation between the Soviet Union has intensified, and it has entered the awkward state of the 1950s. Twenty years after the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, we can feel the dark clouds of war in the sky.”
If there is any difference, it is that the strength of the Soviet Union is completely different from that of 20 years ago. The Soviet Union was at its weakest in the ten years after the war, but this weakness was to some extent overshadowed by the victory in the Chinese battlefield. Now that several decades have passed, the Soviet Union has barely survived the death of tens of millions of people and is at the peak of its hard power.
"So protecting Italy is the shared responsibility of the Italian Communist Party and the Catholic Democratic Party." Bellinger whispered in Congress, "I know that many Catholic Democrats have some doubts about the Communist Party, and now I ask you to look at the world today. , we can no longer have a clear preference for the United States and the Soviet Union as in the past. The balance of power has changed, and we can't see who will be the final winner."
"This is why I decided to become an observer of the Comintern. We cannot be isolated, nor can we join any party. Protecting Italy's own interests is the common goal of our two parties, and we do not stand on either side." Grid's words have passed the understanding of Catholic Democratic lawmakers including Piccoli.
The same scene also appeared in France. The communication between the French Communist Party and the French Socialist Party was even less tense.
"What a great momentum!" After hearing the representatives of the French Communist Party describe the situation at that time, French President Mitterrand had to admire that the current international communist movement is not as turbulent as it was ten or twenty years ago. But as soon as the banner of the Soviet Union was raised, more than 100 parties immediately supported it. At least in terms of momentum, it is much stronger than the International League for Democracy in the United States.
The Soviet camp is not short of people, and even many countries controlled by the Soviet Union are important sources of immigrants from Western Europe. There is a population and an area. Like the Italians, Mitterrand feels that the Soviet Union and the United States cannot decide the winner in a short period of time, but what about the future? It's really hard to say who is the final winner.
Any country is willing to stand with the ultimate victor. If the Soviet Union now surpasses the United States in all aspects, who will be friends with the Americans, a country bumpkin from a remote continent, how can it be compared with the Soviet Union, which controls the Eurasian continent.
It can be said that as long as the Soviet Union and the United States show a visible gap, don’t think that other countries will sink together with the thigh of the United States. The trigger condition for NATO’s traitors is just a little higher. It does not mean that the old imperialists have integrity.
"Why do both the French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party have the tone of the Socialist International? When the time comes, I think we should consider identifying the nature of these two parties." Serov tilted his head and put the newspaper on the table. When the French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party just returned to China, it was really a storm, and all kinds of accusations followed.
It is as if two parties participated in the Moscow Congress, which is tantamount to treason. Even the general political commissar felt that a blow against the Communist Party of Western Europe was about to strike? I have to say that he thought of many famous historical events, such as the Congressional arson case.
If there is a wave of persecution against the Communist Party in Western Europe, although it is a bit embarrassing to say that, Serov is happy to see it happen. These two parties are almost the same as the Socialist Party. Being persecuted can also make the communist movement feel sympathetic, and it can even be used to unite the hearts of the Communist International, a good thing, an absolute good thing.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing will never happen in Western Europe. This is where the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union is the most fierce. In addition to the millions of troops along the route, it also includes competitions in media, morality, etc. If there is such a persecution movement in Western Europe that ordinary people can't bear, the enemy will be happiest.
In places like South America, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union and the United States, the KGB and the CIA would have fought each other long ago, and catching the enemy’s followers would definitely kill them. But in Western Europe, the two countries had to pretend to be hypocrites.
When the General Political Commissar was complaining about himself, the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko flew to Belgrade by plane and began to visit Yugoslavia. As a visit to ease the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, Gromyko's visit attracted the attention of the Soviet Central Presidium. The current situation in Yugoslavia is relatively subtle.
It has been three years since Tito died, and the operating model of the republic he designed is still in effect. Serov knew it very well. You must know that the two of them met a few months before Tito's death. Then Tito made a series of emergency adjustments, mainly to prevent the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, he also met in a few months. Can't adjust anything.
The Soviet Union is still trying to communicate with this little brother who has never been obedient. This is the last little friend who is not obedient. If the Yugoslav problem can be solved within a few years, the Soviet Union will solve all the problems within the camp.
