Chapter 38 A Moment that Touched the World

"You rascal, let me out quickly!"

"asshole!"

...

Seryozha let the Minister of Commerce curse incessantly in the toilet cubicle, but never said a word. He sat on the sink, looked at the time on his watch, and listened quietly to the voices from the venue not far away. He could tell how far the meeting was going by just by hearing. Sergey doesn’t need to persuade the Minister of Commerce to cooperate with him. It’s the general election period. If the voters know that the current Minister of Commerce is imprisoned in the toilet by the Assistant Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Soviet Union and can’t do anything, then he will give people a weak image. At that time, President Reagan will definitely expel him from his campaign team. After a while, Seryozha only needs to make up a little nonsense and walk into the venue with the Minister of Commerce.

Now Seryozha is waiting for this time. According to the arrangement of the conference, the Minister of Commerce will speak behind the Minister of Finance. Now that the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury has begun to talk on the podium, Sergei is waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to finish his speech before releasing the Minister of Commerce.

...

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the staff of the conference affairs group came to the VIP seat five minutes early to invite the Minister of Commerce to speak, but was told that the Minister of Commerce had gone to the bathroom. The staff thought it wouldn't take long, but as the Minister of Finance's speech drew to a close, the Minister of Commerce hadn't returned yet, which made the staff anxious.

Seryozha saw that the time was almost gone, he pulled off the mop, grabbed the Minister of Commerce who rushed out to beat him, and shouted in a stern voice: "Make trouble! You don't have to be afraid of embarrassment, just make trouble! You You can say to your heart's content that I locked you in the toilet, and I won't deny it!"

"What on earth do you want to do, you scoundrel? I know you. You are the guy from the Soviet Union!" The Minister of Commerce said angrily. You know, this guy actually trapped him with the tricks.

"Is it useful to say this now? I'm not like you. If you were poked out about being locked in the toilet today, I think your boss will kick you out of the White House. After all, he wants to stay tough on the Soviet Union. Stand! Who would want a subordinate who was bullied by the Soviets? I won’t be punished when I return to the Soviet Union. If you don’t believe me, just give it a try! But if you cooperate with me, I will put this matter to rest. It rotted in my stomach, and I won't tell the third person!" Seryosha said indifferently.

The Minister of Commerce was about to jump up in anger, he had never seen such a shameless guy. It would be fine if he was in normal times, but now is the most critical time for the general election, and voting will be held in a few months. At this time, there must be no news that is not conducive to the election. The Minister of Commerce was furious, but he had nothing to do with Sergey Sha, he couldn't fight him here! So the Minister of Commerce turned around and was about to leave.

But Sergey grabbed the neck by the collar, and then said to him viciously: "I will help you out of here in a while, and you said that you fell in the toilet, and I helped you out! Just say that Do you understand?"

"I won't cooperate with you?" The Minister of Commerce refused straight away, trying hard to break free from Sergey Sha.

"Then I'll beat you up hard and bring you into the venue with your face covered in blood! Look at my medal. I'm a Hero of the Soviet Union. I went to the battlefield in Afghanistan. Do you think you've beaten me well? Me?" After speaking, Seryozha punched the door next to the Minister of Commerce's head, and the Minister of Commerce thought that Seryozha was about to make a move, so he quickly reached out to block it. When he reacted, he found a hole had been smashed into the copper-wrapped door panel.

The Minister of Commerce nodded helplessly, agreeing to cooperate. Seryozha hurriedly took one of his arms and led him out. The two left the bathroom, and Serio Shat said in the ear of the Minister of Commerce: "Your legs are better limp, so that it is more convincing!"

The Minister of Commerce snorted, and then walked with a limp. In this way, the two came to the gate of the venue. At this moment on the podium, the host is enlivening the atmosphere, buying time for the staff of the conference affairs group, because the Minister of Commerce has disappeared, completely disrupting the arrangement of the conference. At this moment, the guests sitting in the back row suddenly turned their heads to look at the entrance of the gate, and then there was a commotion. A reporter saw Seryozha limping in with the Minister of Commerce, and hurriedly took the camera Aimed at two people.

Under the spotlight, the Minister of Commerce covered his head and limped as if injured, while Seryozha supported him. The senior officials of the United States and the Soviet Union seem to be so in love with each other at this moment. Many people were so surprised that their jaws dropped.

"Oh, my God! What happened?" A staff member from the conference affairs team hurried over and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Minister rolled down the stairs just now. It took me a lot of effort to help him back?" Sergey said first. The Minister of Commerce gave Sergey an angry look, but he had no choice but to cooperate.

"Thanks to the care of this gentleman from the Soviet Union!" The Minister of Commerce said against his will, and then the staff took over from Sergey to support the Minister of Commerce. The two held hands pretending to be friendly. Seryozha took this opportunity and deliberately said loudly: "Mr. Minister, the conversation with you is very enlightening. There are indeed many things worth communicating between our two countries?"

Seryozha finally achieved his goal all of a sudden, and his words were heard by some guests around him. The Minister of Commerce was too late and unable to refute. Suddenly there was applause in the venue. Some guests from Europe took the initiative to applaud, and then more people responded. Now that the whole world is on the brink of a nuclear war, the countries in Western Europe are most afraid of this. Even if the Soviet Union and the United States have a little chance of being friendly, both sides will cheer. What's more, some Western and French guests even stood up and applauded the friendly behavior of both sides. Even Yoshiaki Tsutsumi left his seat and applauded excitedly. You must know that Japan is a neighbor of the Soviet Union across the sea. Once a nuclear war breaks out, Japan's sky will become a channel for intercontinental missiles. The handshake between the two was the most moving moment in the world over the years.

The Minister of Commerce reluctantly forced a smile on Sergei Sha, and Sergei Shah was cheating it all at once. He didn't even know how to explain it to the president.
