Let the driver fully experience the fun of driving.

If it is a sports car, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. The only problem is that sports cars are usually driven by the driver, while luxury cars are usually left to the driver.

"A man like Brezhnev doesn't need to drive himself."

To many people, this was almost impossible. However, Li Yian knew very well that the guy was definitely a car fan!
People have seven emotions and six desires. In addition to the public side, people often have a private side. For example, Steel likes to sing and dance, Khrushchev likes to "show his subordinates the practical use of Russian swear words" and grow vegetables. As the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev naturally also has his hobby - cars.

Unlike many people, Brezhnev was a true car fan. Compared with his predecessors, he knew more about cars, even better than many car fans.

Brezhnev liked luxury cars from the Western world. For example, before he became the top leader of the Soviet Union, he took the opportunity of visiting West Germany to buy an Opel Kapitan for his family.

As a true car fan, Brezhnev often drove his own car on his way to and from get off work, and the main roads in Moscow also opened a special lane in the middle of the road for emergency situations to improve travel efficiency in emergency situations. From another perspective, the emergency lane also made it easier for Brezhnev to enjoy his driving pleasure.

Almost all foreigners who had contact with Brezhnev mentioned his love for cars. He even took the initiative to "ask" for cars from leaders of West Germany, the United States, Britain and even Italy many times, and even had several car accidents due to driving.

But even so, he still loves cars and driving.

Therefore, the best gift for the Medal Emperor is a car.

"This is also a good thing for them!"

Looking through the car description provided by BMW, Li Yian nodded and said:

“Well, this is also an opportunity!”

……

Soon, news spread that Li Yian was about to visit Moscow. After the news came out, the country that was most concerned about this news was none other than the United States.

"According to the information we received, the official residence took the initiative to contact the Russians about this visit, and then Moscow issued the invitation."

Cadell tried to soften his tone.

"So this visit is unusual."

The representative looked serious.

“Are they trying to mend their relationship?”

"Repair the relationship? They had a secret cooperation during the last Pueblo incident. Do they still need to repair it now?"

"That must have deepened!"

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

"I said,"

Kader couldn't help but speak. He said:
"It's no big deal. After all, it's well known that SEA is one of us, and they are naturally opposed to Moscow. The two sides have too many conflicting interests, from East Africa to the Middle East to Asia. The contradictions between them are irreconcilable."

Conan, the representative, did not respond. He was still thinking about something.

"Are they having some secret talks among themselves and hiding it from us?"

The reason why Conan had such an idea was very simple, because he believed that the more conflicts of interest there were, the easier it would be to conduct secret negotiations in order to avoid conflicts.

"We have no way to prove this yet. You know, our work here is just on the surface."

The work that Kader was referring to is naturally intelligence work. In fact, intelligence work has never only existed between opponents and friends, it is also extremely important.

After all, only by understanding the movements of your friends can you control them, or master them, and make targeted deployments.

Of course, this targeted deployment is not necessarily a coup. After all, even the United States would not dare to take risks with such a heavyweight ally.

Therefore, "friendly negotiation" is the basis for cooperation. Of course, the premise of such negotiation is to first understand the other party's movements.

Conan nodded grimly but still said nothing.

"However, I believe he will gain a lot from this visit. After all, their previous cooperation was very pleasant!"

The reason why Kader said this is that after they launched the missiles, Moscow immediately issued a "warning", and SEA chose to accept the warning.

This absolutely surprised the whole world and also made Moscow proud.

In fact, this is also giving the Kingdom of Light a way out - to let them understand that they should not participate in the game between the big powers.

Just like that, a crisis disappeared without a trace.

After looking at Carder calmly for a while, Conan took a puff of his cigarette silently.

"Kader,"

He sighed.

"Because they had cooperated happily before, it is more likely that they would reach a secret agreement that we are not aware of."

A look of alarm crossed his face.

"You have to figure it all out, figure out what they have agreed to in Moscow. Only in this way can we maximize our interests." He sipped his coffee slowly, and then continued:

"To some extent, our strength is being weakened. We are stuck in Saigon and have even fallen into a quagmire. The domestic anti-war movement and the black riots that have occurred one after another are all hindering our strength.

In this situation, we must pay close attention to both our enemies and our friends in order to safeguard our own interests."

After listening to the representative's instructions, Kader thought for a moment and then said:

"I will communicate with the people in the official residence to see if I can get some new information."

……

Finally, the day of the visit arrived. Like previous visits, Li Yian's "Air Force One" stopped at the Mount Fuji Air Force Base west of Chang'an.

This air force base was built to commemorate the bombing of Japan. The bombers that bombed Japan flew from here to Ryukyu.

Before boarding the plane, Li Yian not only said goodbye to everyone who saw him off, but also walked to his son's side. Looking at Li Yixuan, who was slightly taller than him, he smiled and said:

"How is it? Are you stressed?"

"A little."

The reason why Li Yixuan said this is because he will be responsible for the affairs of the official residence, or in other words, fulfill the responsibilities of "regent".

For a 22-year-old young man, this burden is a bit too heavy.

"Don't worry, just leave it to them!"

Pointing at the senior officials in the official residence, Li Yian said with a smile:
“Leave professional matters to professionals.”

As he spoke, he patted his son's shoulder again, gave him a hug, and whispered in his ear:

"Remember, when you encounter something, think for three seconds first, don't rush to make a decision!"

After saying that, Li Yian turned around and got on the plane with Margaret. When he was about to enter the plane, he turned around and waved to everyone.

The plane took off. In the cabin, Margaret looked at her husband who remained silent and said:

"Are you worried about Yixuan?"

"Do not."

Li Yian shook his head and said:

"Our mechanism is there. No matter what Yixuan does, it will not go beyond the overall framework and there will be no chaos."

Li Yian still has this confidence. In the past twenty years, although SEA seems to be "ruled by man", he has been constantly improving various systems. He is very clear about the temptations that power faces. For so many years, he has been doing his best to resist the temptation of harmless power. It is for this reason that he knows how tempting power is.

Traditionally speaking, the equality that many people talk about means: above the self, all beings are equal; below the self, there are clear hierarchies.

This kind of thinking is essentially a consciousness of power, which is people's pursuit of power. It is also the influence of the Qin system for two thousand years - everyone under the emperor is an extension of slaves - everyone under the self is a slave.

Such a strict hierarchy brings supreme power, but also makes power tempting to people.

It was really hard to resist him.

Therefore, in order to restrain his inner restlessness, Li Yian has been constantly improving various legal systems for twenty years.

What is more important is compliance. After all, since ancient times, the government has made laws for the people to abide by. So here, we make laws and abide by them together. This is the system.

On the other hand, the reason why children receive ordinary education in ordinary schools is to enable them to come into contact with ordinary people and have the most basic empathy for the plight of ordinary people, rather than living in an isolated environment in aristocratic schools and having no empathy for ordinary people.

With institutional guarantees and empathy for civilians, Li Yian believes that there will be no chaos in the future. Moreover, various systems are still being improved and new frameworks are being established.

As for the future, there is basically no need to worry. You just need to grasp the general direction.

“That’s because I’m worried about this visit.”

Margaret looked at him and said:
“Was Brezhnev difficult to deal with?”

"Do not."

It sounds like it's my wife's problem. Li Yian shook his head and said.

“They weren’t difficult to deal with, but it was very difficult to get what we needed from them.

As you Europeans often say, after shaking hands with a Russian, you should also count your fingers.

Dealing with them..."

After a long sigh, Li Yian just shook his head helplessly. At this time, he actually missed Khrushchev a little.

After all, to a certain extent, Khrushchev is a sincere person with ideals, and it is easiest to deal with such a person.

But what about Brezhnev?
