A night of verbal bickering left Alan Wilson physically and mentally exhausted. After all, this is Moscow, not London. Furtseva is one of the most important figures in the Soviet Union, but he is not. It is inevitable to be nervous. During this period, the cultural tsar was not very happy. Satisfied, the consequence of this dissatisfaction is that he is listless today.
"I heard Joseph talking about you." Nixon greeted Alan Wilson. "He doesn't have many friends, and you are one of the ones he mentions more frequently. It seems that you are the same kind of people. I heard that you had a conversation with the Soviets yesterday. There’s a quarrel.”
Nixon was referring to a row over the tour, which he had learned about through diplomats.
But the respected Vice President of the United States did not know that yesterday's fierce quarrel was not limited to daytime.
"We should show a tough attitude towards the Soviets at the appropriate time." Alan Wilson looked like a defender of the free world, and coupled with his not-so-good mental state, it really seemed like this.
As for Foreign Secretary Macmillan, he took the time to show off 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 all walked and talked together in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, discussing how to promote the reputation of the free world.
Naturally, Alan Wilson began to belittle the achievements of the Soviet Union again. He knew that what he said was not entirely true, but given his position here, he had to say so.
Many of the Soviet Union's achievements are real, and it is a fact that the infrastructure mania does not have a noble name. This proves nothing except that the Soviet Union has a low level of development. For example, in the United Kingdom, as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, many constructions have been completed. It has been a long time since Labor's transformation of London after the war was just enough.
Should we renovate all the cities in the UK? Isn’t this duplication of construction? Moreover, aging cannot be avoided after renovation. The Soviet Union is building quite magnificent high-rise buildings now, but in 20 or 30 years they will be old and shabby? Then what? After they are demolished, they will be in ruins. Build it again?
It's not like Alan Wilson didn't know how to stack houses. He did this in the colonies. This development model can be summarized as extensive development. What's commendable about it? He didn't find it anyway.
The buildings currently displayed in the Soviet Union are not worthy of much attention. Although they look majestic, the buildings that are not displayed are worthy of attention.
Now is the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan. In the period of the 1960s, the Soviet machinery manufacturing industry is experiencing serious overcapacity. The Soviet Union's solution is to upgrade its industry. One hundred and seventy-four fully automatic assembly lines have begun to be put into production. During the Fifth Five-Year Plan, the Soviet machinery industry invented more than 2,700 instruments and automation tools.
At this time, the Soviet Union can already produce 500 types of precision machine tools. The number of special machine tools has increased by 21 times, the number of precision machine tools has increased by 10 times, the number of broaching machines has increased by 8 times, the number of gear processing machine tools has increased by 5 times, and the number of grinding machines has increased by 3.5 times. times, on the basis of maintaining the original Tianliang 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 and production line automation, outdated machine tools were eliminated, gasoline engines were replaced with gas turbines, and low-probability power generation equipment was replaced with high-power power generation equipment. The level of mechanization in the fields of light industry, food, and construction was improved, so that the overall number of Soviet machinery manufacturing exceeded
This is the first time in world history that the United States has
The Soviet Union's machinery manufacturing has not lagged behind now, and later it imported machine tools from European countries to supplement it. So the Soviet Union needs Toshiba's machine tools to build submarines? Can Japanese machine tools surpass Europe? How is this possible?
The Toshiba incident was the result of the United States singling out Japan, the unlucky one, to establish its power when almost all countries in the free world were doing business with the Soviet Union. There was no such thing as Japan that was so advanced that even the Soviet Union relied on nuclear submarines.
Alan Wilson is very suspicious that after Japan was humiliated by the United States, this was an advertisement for Japan to establish its image in front of other Asian countries that were even more backward.
However, in front of the Foreign Secretary and the Vice President of the United States, he must turn a blind eye to these areas where the Soviet Union is truly powerful. Any development of the Soviet Union must be extensive development. This is also true to a certain extent. The Soviet Union's machinery manufacturing is advanced and advanced.
However, in Europe and the United States, it is just applied innovation.
As long as he makes partial generalizations, there is nothing that cannot be proved. He can also prove that the pyramids were built by Napoleon. What is so difficult about this?
This disparagement left a deep impression on Nixon, and the persona of a free world fighter was firmly grasped by Alan Wilson. "It is time for the Soviets to see the gap between them and the free world."
"If the Soviets find out about Sir Wilson's words, they will definitely be unhappy." Nixon joked with a sarcastic face, completely unaware that the person who was praising him had already succumbed to the culture czar.
In the half of the world controlled by the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson really didn't dare to do anything, so he could only be obedient to Fortseva. Just like when he controlled Fortseva in London more than ten years ago, things took turns.
Fortseva's return home was not loud, but her son still heard it. Alexeyev walked out of the room and looked at his mother with a strange look, "Mom, are you very busy at work these two days?"
"Yes." Fortseva was startled and then smiled, "The presidium has a lot of work, so I had to work overtime for two days."
"Mom, it's so hard." Alexeyev looked like a good baby, and his strange eyes disappeared.
But when he turned around, he was suspicious, why did his mother lie? Fortseva's performance just now was in line with the characteristics of all liars. Although the journey of anti-revolutionary workers had just begun, he was sure that he was not wrong.
For no reason, he remembered the scene in the movie, Dzerzhinsky's line, "Look into my eyes..."
Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Alexeyev said to himself, "Mother has mother's considerations, don't think too much about it."
The opening of the American Exposition was carefully prepared by Washington. Nixon personally 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 American free market, but to say that ordinary Americans have seen them now is a lie, as many products have not yet entered thousands of households.
This exhibition focuses on consumer goods and leisure products. Exhibits include high-fidelity audio equipment, movie theaters, home appliances and 22 cars. The products have been carefully selected to display not so much freedom as freedom.
Consumption.
Under the auspices of Nixon, the American Exposition grandly opened, and the attendance of British Foreign Secretary Macmillan demonstrated the unbreakable special relationship between Britain and the United States. The friendly interaction with Nixon left the host somewhat alone.
The Soviet Union also attached great importance to this expo. The number one figure, Khrushchev, attended the expo in person. Behind him, in the background, there was a tall figure. Brezhnev, who later controlled the Soviet Union for a long time, was the leader of the Soviet Union.
There was also a woman in the team who was chatting and laughing with Brezhnev, and she seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
While visiting the kitchen of a model house that had been sold, Nixon and Khrushchev had their first confrontation. The conversation started around the housing issue. “The housing issue is a top priority. For many people in capitalist countries, housing is
Problems cost them a lot of the fruits of their labor.”
Khrushchev was the first to speak, because before Nixon arrived in Moscow, Alan Wilson had belittled the development of housing in front of Fortseva. Knowing this, Khrushchev used this as a breakthrough to attack.
Alan Wilson took two steps back unconsciously, pretending to be an ordinary presence in the crowd, but the looks of some British diplomats forced him to issue an order and lowered his voice, "Pay attention to important things."
"The housing problem is not a burden to the United States." Nixon knew the source as soon as he heard it and said calmly, "Mr. Khrushchev, for the wealth of the American people, houses are not a burden.
Luxury goods are completely different from your imagination. The wealth that the United States has today is itself a classless society to a certain extent. And the housing model you see is only what an ordinary American can own in the urban-suburban area.
Housing, I’m definitely not exaggerating.”
"The Soviet Union will also have it, and what the Soviets have is just because they were born in the Soviet Union. There is no need for other additional factors." Khrushchev said tit for tat, "Although Mr. Nixon keeps saying that this is something that ordinary Americans can have.
Yes, but it doesn’t have 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 means consumption, and the two have the same meaning. Although the title of his speech at the opening ceremony just now was what freedom is, the conversation with Khrushchev now focuses on what Americans can consume.
.
In the Dream Kitchen exhibition area, a sweeping robot was running, which represented the advanced side of American society. He told Khrushchev, "It can replace the so-called labor force."
"You would think that the Soviets would be stunned by this exhibition. But the fact is that all new Soviet houses will have such equipment. In the United States, to get such a house, you have to be rich, but here you only need to be born to
Just citizens of the Soviet Union. If American citizens don't have money, they have the right to sleep on the sidewalk. And you call us slaves!"
Khrushchev shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Nixon, your admiration for consumption is really surprising."
"Actually, I have a question." Fortseva asked with a smile at this time, "Vice President Nixon, are your so-called sweeping robots very common in the United States? Or are they only limited to some toys of the upper class?"
Some American products are not universal. Fortseva has already investigated clearly, and the source of the information is absolutely reliable.
