Big Time 1958

Unlike the last time he returned to China, the General Administration of Military Administration now has the first deputy director Roman to take care of it. It is no different from before Shelov went abroad. It can be said that Roman, an experienced and veteran agent, has dealt with many problems that made Shelov feel very difficult. , "We have already selected the troops for disarmament, and most of the troops are in the inland military region! This process is naturally not easy, and there is a lot of pressure on the Ministry of Defense, but after Chairman Shelepin communicated with the first secretary, the Ministry of Defense They still agreed with the disarmament force we chose!"

  Roman is one of the very few cadres who likes to enjoy life very much among the old batch of cadres in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When talking about work, he is not willing to be in the office. Instead, he chooses time for walks or meals to achieve his goals more gently.

"Which soldier would like to see his army get smaller? But it's a pity that some high-quality commanders in some units let them go to work. We should choose among them and make a list for these commanders to enter. Would it be better to serve in the border guards and the internal affairs force, so that our KGB armed forces can be more professional, and those that should be eliminated should be eliminated, while the professional commanders should be retained!" Shelov proposed road.

Serov can be regarded as a person with a military rank, and he can fully understand the dissatisfaction of the veteran generals of the Ministry of National Defense with Khrushchev's abolition of the army, but he must supervise and follow the order of the first secretary. Although the disarmament is an order, in the process Being able to turn around flexibly is actually a good thing for the KGB.

Counting the number of disarmament in this batch, the Soviet Union has cut 2.3 million troops in total. The huge Red Army is becoming less and less unattainable. In addition, it has been fighting against Bonapartists. I believe Khrushchew Fu thinks that the Red Army will not be producing new soldiers like Marshal Zhukov who always reach out and interfere in government affairs.

  The fact that the Red Army is getting weaker and weaker is actually beneficial to the KGB. Think about it, if the number of the Red Army is still so large, even the KGB will not be able to check and balance the Red Army. The smaller the Red Army, the more checks and balances the KGB has. A comparison is valuable. After the KGB was dismantled, Khrushchev discovered more and more that for the rebellious soldiers of the Red Army, it was necessary to use the KGB to be more handy.

"The internal affairs troops and the border guards do need a group of professional intermediate officers. We can eliminate our officers who are not of sufficient quality. In this way, we can eliminate the ones that should be eliminated and keep the officers who are really needed!" Roman nodded in approval of Serov's judgment, eating Abandoned officers of the Red Army. It can make the armed forces of the KGB more professional, "By the way, the work of conscription in the autumn has been completed. This year, we have conducted a large-scale conscription in Central Asia. There are about 57,000 people, and most of them will enter the internal affairs force. According to your idea. A large number of people will replace the consultant team in the Middle East, and the remaining people will be trained as Iraqi instructors in the Azerbaijan training camp! The specific information is in my office. Do you want to read it? Look?"

"Director Roman, there's no need for this, I was still working under your guidance! I have always admired your abilities. In fact, I think Chairman Xie Lepin is a little anxious to fully use highly educated cadres. Some veteran cadres have work experience that is not academic qualifications. Gao can replace it. But I have no way to stop it!" Shelov said with an apologetic tone, "But I have been trying to find a way to let you veteran anti-revolutionaries have room to play. I think that at present Iraq The Communist Party really needs the guidance of you cadres who understand the cruelty and struggle..."

The coup that overthrew the kingdom of Iraq was actually the result of the joint efforts of the United States and the Soviet Union. Naturally, the United States had been in contact with Qassem for a long time, but it was unexpected that the nationalist Qassem would abolish the Baghdad Treaty used to block the Soviet Union as soon as he came to power. And withdrew from the organization, the United States has always adopted a pragmatic phalanx. As long as there are valuable objects of use, the United States has never cared whether it is slapped in the face by the other party. Historically, after Qassem withdrew from the Baghdad Treaty Organization , the United States still did not give up its contact with Qasim, and finally took advantage of Qasim's misgivings about communism to eradicate the Iraqi Communist Party with nearly 300,000 members. Although it lost Iraq, it did not allow the pro-Soviet forces to stand. Cheap.

But how could Shelov, who knows history, let this kind of thing repeat itself. Immediately after Qassem came to power, he carried out the second round of operations and launched the Iraqi Shiites to open fire on Qassem. The reason is very simple, Qassem's The officer class is mostly Sunni. Although there were no strong winds that blew off the flames several times, under the repeated ignition of the arsonist, Serov, the arsonist finally broke out the suppression of Shiites, which ignited the fuse of the Iraqi civil war. .

  Sherov looked all over the history and found no Communist Party that could not be defeated, especially in the era when the socialist camp in the early Cold War was extremely powerful, the party members sent by Iraq to Azerbaijan had the help of the General Administration of Frontier Defense in military training, he was not worried! However, the political penetration still needs to be strengthened. A large number of cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Roman's era had a lot of experience in this area.

"You want to train political cadres in the Iraqi armed forces at the same time?" Roman understood Serov immediately. This is to hope that Roman can find a group of such cadres and come out again to train a group of political commissars and cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Iraqi Communist Party. .

"Yes, the Iraqi Communist Party is the smallest force in the current situation in Iraq! My opinion with Chairman Sherepin is not to try to provoke other forces and stimulate the nerves of those forces! Iraq is a country with a strong religious atmosphere. If the Iraqi Communist Party It is too high-profile, it is easy to form a situation of group attack, and it is easy to get the support of religious forces. When you are in a weak position, you must concentrate your strength to prevent infiltration by the enemy! Political workers are a must, and only by ensuring the loyalty of party members can there be Greater development, otherwise it will be destroyed directly, and even good wishes cannot be implemented!" Shelov said in awe.

   Almost every Communist Party has appeared, brutal self-purge! This is because from the very beginning of the Communist Party, the ideas of atheism, class struggle, and capitalists have stirred the nerves of many people. There are too many enemies of the Communist Party who insist on these ideas. So for the early Communist Party, it was equally important to eliminate the enemy and the traitor, and all the Communist Parties that went through the process of armed struggle were no exception.

The current Iraqi Communist Party is also in a hostile environment in the early days. It is just that the big forces in Iraq are currently in a group and no one takes them seriously. But as long as the Iraqi Communist Party grows to a certain level, it will definitely lead to a joint attack. First of all, the first one is atheism, which makes Shiites and Sunnis unbearable. Socialism is also unacceptable to the bourgeoisie, and a decisive battle will come sooner or later, and now it is necessary to unify the understanding within the party.

"It's not difficult to have experienced political workers. I have many friends who are waiting to retire in the GRU. They are all political workers who have retired from the KGB. They can play a role in warming up!" The KGB is really a problem, but there is no shortage of cadres in this area in the GRU that gathers Roman's group.

   The smooth resolution of this matter made Serov sigh again, how correct it was to ask Roman to preside over the work of the General Administration of Military Administration. The group of cadres who were cleared out of the KGB by Shelepin may not have a high degree of education, but their experience in the struggle between the enemy and ourselves is far from comparable to the large numbers of cadres of the Communist Youth League that are now airborne.

   This is also the reason why Serov has been persuading Shelepin not to clean up the old-school cadres of the KGB so quickly. Let the cadres of the Communist Youth League learn from the struggle experience of the old-fashioned cadres, in order to preserve the strength of the KGB to the greatest extent. Two years ago, the London Intelligence Network was taken over by MI6, and there are also reasons for this. In the end, the head of London, who had returned to China, went back and re-established the intelligence network.

"I will go abroad in a few days, and I still need the help of Director Roman!" Shelov said apologetically, the purpose is naturally the upcoming Bucharest conference, which is a good time to communicate with other brotherly countries. In his plan, such a conference should be held as usual to increase communication within the socialist camp.

"Okay, don't worry, there will be no problem with the General Administration! I'll contact my old friends at GRU immediately!" Roman stopped and stretched his waist, "Old, I have walked for so long today. !I'm going back…"

   Shelov bowed his head slightly, went directly to the First General Bureau, and discussed with Lieutenant General Sakhartowski about the events after the conference.

"The French have already arrived in Vienna and have agreed to negotiate with us in the GDR near the Austrian border. It seems that people from the French MI7 also know that there are too many spies in Vienna and it is easy to leak information!" Sakhartowski The lieutenant general said, "I just don't know how powerful the person who came to negotiate with us is, and whether he can make a decision for de Gaulle!"

"Actually, we don't have the ability to make decisions. This time we and the French are testing! Maybe we won't reach any agreement, but I don't care! Algeria is not from the Soviet Union. Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, the two directors of the General Administration looked at each other and laughed...

On October 25th, at the request of Romanian Minister of Internal Affairs Ilisescu, Chairman of the Soviet KGB, Shelepin, arrived by train with Lieutenant General Sakhartowski, Director of the First General Directorate, and Lieutenant General Serov, Director of the Third General Directorate. Bucharest, the capital of Romania, will not describe the scenery. The old town is still a bit special, but the new projects including the railway station are full of reinforced concrete. Seeing these new projects is the same as in Moscow and Kyiv, even the new ones. The residential buildings are similar to the Khrushchev Building. (To be continued~^~)
