"I only knew about Chile's problems temporarily, but I didn't expect that the problem was a bit serious. If the Chinese % novel was not held in Santiago, we might not know much about Chile's situation." Brezhnev first stated that he had just learned the news, and then changed the subject, "Comrade Allende, why don't you tell us about the difficulties? You also said that the Soviet Union's assistance to Chile was not needed. If it was for national self-esteem, I personally think it's not necessary. The Soviet Union's assistance to Chile and other brother countries was not a threat to Chile, nor would it use this assistance to change Chile's policies."

For Brezhnev and the Soviet Union, it was an unexpected surprise that Chile could have a president who was inclined to be more. In this case, the Soviet Union would not ask for more in a short period of time. It would be a great victory to prove that a country could use the Soviet system and become better.

"My words were a bit fierce just now. After the General Secretary's reminder, I think I can say a few more words now." Selov said with the previous microphone, "Chile is currently in a stage of excessive socialism. In this stage, Chile's own market economy still exists. A country cannot be separated from the whole world. Take the problems that Chile is facing now as an example. The problems of land production efficiency and the decline in copper prices prove that at this stage, Chile is easily affected by the outside world. In this case, Comrade Allende, you only rely on your own country to solve the problem, which is very difficult."

"Comrade Sellov's words are very reasonable. Chile needs hundreds of millions of dollars to import food. This loophole will be very difficult to solve with your own country. If you want to overcome it at this stage, it will cause negative impacts in other aspects, and some waves of parades will arise." Andropov pondered for a moment and said sincerely, "In this case, are you still asking the Chilean people to endure inflation and help the government overcome difficulties?"

"The Soviet Union can guarantee that all aid does not come with political conditions." Brezhnev suddenly spoke, and this statement spread throughout the world through television, saying in a firm but unquestionable tone, "We hope to see a country prove that socialism can be slow and excessive and can completely improve people's lives."

"We can actually solve temporary difficulties." President Allende's expression was hesitant, but Ceausescu immediately spoke, "Comrade Allende, we believe that the power of the people and the collective strength are definitely greater than the efforts of individuals. When the country encounters difficulties, the help of others is not shameful. Which country will not encounter difficulties? I think a true socialist should not refuse to help us with kindness."

"Comrade Ceausescu is right. We are willing to help Chile overcome difficulties." Zhivkov's statement was already angry with Brezhnev. The relationship between the Soviet Union and Bulgaria was the closest of the Warsaw Pact. Subsequently, Democratic Germany, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Sudan, Hungary and other countries made statements, and these statements were spread throughout Chile through TV.

The next day, people who did not see the live broadcast of TV saw the statements of various countries at the conference in the newspaper. People whispered to each other and discussed these issues, believing that the Soviet Union had bad intentions, but more people expressed their willingness to accept the help of the Soviet group. After all, people with strong national confidence are a minority, and ordinary people still think that there are multiple friends and multiple roads, and Chileans are no exception.

It just so happened that the real situation in Chile was known to everyone by this conference. Even those who were dissatisfied with Allende and neutrals calmed down and talked calmly about this issue with the supporters of President Allende. Instead of going to the streets to protest at all times, ordinary people's concern for society reached an unprecedented level.

** and Workers' Party Congress ended in a few days, and more than a dozen countries, including the Soviet Union, issued a statement that they would provide economic and daily necessities to Chile to help Chile through the current difficult period, while also indicating that these aids are not attached to any conditions and are not charged any interest, and that Chile can repay after the economy improves, but they will never urge.

The conference just ended. Andropov and Serov, who were the first to accuse Chile at the conference, were interviewed by Chilean newspapers and each talked about their views on Chile.

"From the perspective of national security, if social instability in Chile continues, there will be a very easy result, that is, the military government. The supporter is the United States. If you have not forgotten Cuba, you should know that after the success of the revolution, Cuba had an operation called the Bay of Pigs Landing. The environment in Chile is different. If I were the CIA, it would be easier to launch a coup in Chile. There is no need to hire mercenaries, just use money to buy Chile's generals." Selov used an alarmist emphasis to release this kind of news to the Chilean newspaper, "I am talking about either someone else or the United States. Maybe the plan has been formulated, but I am just waiting for the time to be implemented."

"As a peer, I can clearly see my intentions of traveling. Eastern European countries encountered this threat twenty years ago, but eventually they successfully overcome the difficulties with the help of the Soviet Union." Selov finally ended with this sentence.

"However, as long as capitalism develops, the proletariat will inevitably rise. Many of us know that Chile's main export material internationally is copper, and copper miners working in Chile's economic lifeline have become the main force of the Chilean workers' movement. A strong worker community has been established, thus providing strong support for the sustainable development of the workers' movement. The in-depth development of the workers' movement has also promoted the establishment of socialist parties, namely the Chilean Socialist Party and the Chilean Socialist Party, which in turn have provided a lot of support for the further development of the Chilean workers' movement. There is no doubt that Chilean capitalists will not welcome the workers' movement. I would like to remind the Chileans to pay attention to your class, depending on whether you want to support President Allende."

Andropov's remarks were also very direct, pointing out that the people of Chile should give support to countries in difficulty. But then both of their remarks were refuted by Brezhnev, who said that the two criticisms of Chile were too fierce and things were not so bad.

After the conference, the Soviet Union and Chile also signed a fishery cooperation and resupply agreement, according to which the Soviet Union could use Chile's ports as a supply in the South Pacific region. The United States responded very fiercely, saying that Chile should not learn from Cuba and should know what kind of country it should be friends with. At the same time, it refuted Serov's accusations, saying that the United States never wanted to overthrow the elected president of Chile.

"What Americans say is not trustworthy at all. I have done it so many times. The closer ones are Indonesia, Cuba, Iran, and Europe, that is, Europe is closer to the Soviet Union. Otherwise, Italy would have been very dangerous at the beginning." Selov's two things took up a lot of time in his life, and he scolded the United States. When he was verbal war, he was absolutely unambiguous.

After the conference, Brezhnev returned first, while Andropov dealt with the Soviet Union and allies' aid plans to Chile here, communicated with the ministers of the Presidential Government of Allende, while Selov protected him. At this time, he found that the Chilean party was very interesting. Take Allende's supporters for example. Usually, the Socialist Party in Western Europe belongs to the Second International, advocates reform and enters socialism, while ** is more radical.

Chile actually gave up the socialist revolution, but was content to make improvements, playing the role of various social democratic parties in Western Europe. Interestingly, the Chilean Socialist Party is much more radical than their European peers, and their theories and lines are more inclined toward the socialist revolution most of the time than Chile, which is so interesting.

"Stable the situation in Chile is believed to make it easier for us to interfere in Latin America, but the Americans will not do anything to watch. There should be no other way. Let's take a look." Andropov is not a child, so of course he would not think of how to deal with it. He asked Serov next to him this question.

"To find a way to cut off the power of the lower class and politics requires reforming the political system. But I can't think of what to do." Selov had heard of such rumors in his previous life, but he didn't know what was going on.

By strictly restricting collective bargaining, giving employers the power to hire substitutes when workers strike, establishing so-called negotiating groups other than trade unions, etc., differentiating, weakening Chilean trade unions and working class, and through the insecurity of work caused by market-oriented reforms, the working class in Chile is deorganized and declassified, thus losing the ability to influence politics through collective actions and improve their own situation; cutting off the ties between major Chilean political parties and grassroots social levels, and by concentrating financial power in the central government, forcing the isolation of the poor, setting up multiple "competitive" representative institutions in a region, and carrying out market-oriented reforms to Chile's original social welfare system, fragmenting the lower-level masses as much as possible, making them lose the ability to take strong collective actions.

After President Allende was overthrown, military governments in Latin American countries generally adopted this approach, dismantling the soil for the emergence of the second Allende. However, if the Soviet Union saved Allende and preserved this base in Latin America, this malicious political reform could be resolved. After Brezhnev returned to the Soviet Union, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosykin immediately formulated a plan to aid Chile, and the first batch of ships had set off from the Soviet port. At the same time, the Red Navy had also dispatched to Chile to establish a supply location. (To be continued.)
