Big Time 1958

"The relationship between our KGB and your Central Liaison Department is as close as fish and water! When we join forces, the whole world is a battlefield for our two departments!" Serov expressed his cautious friendliness, holding a goblet in his right hand. Lightly bumped against Andropov's wine glass.

   "I hope so. I appreciate General Serov's performance in Hungary and Indonesia. Although some of my work has been done, I am optimistic!" Andropov himself is also very happy!

This is not the first time the two have met. Four years ago, Serov represented the KGB to deal with the Hungarian riots. , It was Andropov who was in contact with the center of the country. Without Andropov as a backing, Serov would not have received a lot of assistance in such a simple way. Time has changed, Serov and Andropov were ambassadors from their respective countries, He became his own head of the Central Liaison Department and vice-chairman of the KGB, and it is also a bit touching to meet again today.

The department they are in is a department with a lot of autonomous activities. Many of the Soviet's global strategies are directly reflected from the work of their two departments. Once there is trouble, the two of them tend to respond faster than the Soviet Red Army and assess risks. to decide whether it can be resolved independently. Not everything needs to be bothered by the Soviet Red Army's position, and the usual secondary threats are the mainstream in daily life, which requires both of them to solve.

Andropov was also full of gratitude to meet Serov again. Serov was under pressure in Hungary to let go of the crackdown. At that time, he seemed to have taken a great risk, but Andropov recalled the progress of the whole thing afterwards, and finally Put the turning point on a very important event of the year. That is, the US embassy was raided by militants, and the incident shocked the world. Serov quickly seized the opportunity to suppress and at the same time promoted the purge of the Hungarian party. Now, looking at it this way, the attack on the US embassy itself is very suspicious, much like the masterpiece of a young man who is harmless to humans and animals.

   Of course, this is just a suspicion, because the only two survivors at the time were still serving prison sentences in Hungary! Under the strict guard of the Hungarian Ministry of Internal Affairs, or protection! The direct evidence has been removed, and no one knows the truth at that time! Of course no one knew that Serov was on the second day of the vice chairman of the KGB. All the specific tails of the year were removed.

"Comrade Andropov, apart from Shelepin and Semichasny, my husband rarely mentions the specific work of other comrades at home, but he always speaks highly of you!" Valya Seizing the opportunity to help her husband and have a good relationship at the same time, Andropov, now forty-six years old, is not handsome in any way. He is exactly one round older than Serov, but she once heard her husband say . Andropov was also a member of the Communist Youth League, and Sherepin was a cadre of the same period.

"Yeah, that's really an honor!" Andropov always looked elegant and polite, with a scholarly demeanor. The cultivation of the intellectuals, as well as the taste and humor of the intellectuals. He is a man who likes to read and think. But the fifth head office of the historical KGB in charge of ideas was himself established by him. Because he knew the characteristics of intellectuals very well, Andropov knew the horror of intellectuals. Immediately after taking over from Semichasne, he started the establishment of the Fifth General Administration.

   In this era, although the two experienced the Hungarian incident at the same time, Serov knew that something would happen, so he just looked for an opportunity to suppress it, and he did not suffer much ideological impact! But Andropov, who has been in Budapest, has seen the whole process from beginning to end, like history. Stalin statue was pushed up, Communist Party members were killed and hanged from telephone poles, which made him deeply aware of ideological precautions. the importance of the enemy.

Serov's ability to find topics that penetrate deep into the heart of the other party thinks that he is okay, and it is not difficult to find topics that interest the other party. This kind of man, this method of bribing and suppressing will not work at all, because Andropov has been very clean in history, but at the same time he firmly occupies the position of chairman of the KGB, and he has a positive relationship with Semichasny. Unlike hard-top Brezhnev, Andropov relied on superb skills to disintegrate Brezhnev's efforts to control the KGB.

   When you meet such a person, the means to win over must be very advanced, that is, start with ideas or ideals! Leaving the noisy hall and coming to the lawn outside the Prime Minister's Office, the Serovs and Andropov found a rocking chair and sat down. Andropov liked this feeling very much. So far, his ideal is to be in charge of management* ******'s job, that is, Suslov's position, so Suslov has always been a little bit unfamiliar with him.

   Andropov suffered from kidney disease because of the cruel conditions during World War II. For Serov, who served as the vice chairman of the KGB, this is no secret at all! Let him sit down, and at the same time put the coat hanging on his hand on another chair, which serves as a cushion for Valya, and Serov, who is wearing a KGB summer uniform, shields his wife from the sun.

   "Comrade Serov, you love your wife very much!" Andropov said with approval, seeing everything in his eyes.

   "Of course, the pennant issued by the Moscow government to testify!" Serov did not hide his love for Mao Mei at all. At the same time, this is also an obligation as a husband, and a couple themselves should trust so much.

"As a man, he can basically meet all my needs. I'm very lucky to meet such a person! I heard that Comrade Andropov lives a very simple life, and Serov can't keep up with this. He spends his money! "Valia said very gently.

   "Usually I don't have money!" Serov corrected me without haste, while focusing on Andropov. If this person hadn't died early, the Soviet Union would never have died so quickly! Andropov's only problem is that he has poor eyesight to see the successor. Leaders of all generations of the Soviet Union have made mistakes, but leaders like Ge Tutu have always made mistakes and have never been in touch with the correctness, not to mention the Soviet Union, and even the whole world cannot find them! Serov, who is Ge Tutu, is reluctant to think about it even if he doesn't want it. He has no confidence in saving the Soviet Union after a while.

The foundation of the Soviet Union is far from unsustainable. Even if it chooses a zombie to come to power, it will not be a problem to maintain it for ten years. At least the zombie will not dismantle the economic exchange, and will not point the gun at the map that did not accept Ge at that time. New-thinking allies and Eastern European countries are not all guys like Poland who can't support the wall. Romania and the GDR have no problem maintaining the stability of their own countries. Go map stabbed in the back! Among the various ways to save the Soviet Union, the simplest is that Ge Map died the next day after he came to power, and the Soviet Union would definitely live another ten years!

   There is no problem with Andropov, but the problem of choosing a successor is absolutely stupid! After Ge Tuo came to power, especially after eliminating conservatives, everything he did perfectly met the definition of a traitor. Now it seems that the first two years of Ge Tutu are relatively normal, that is because the conservatives have not been cleaned up.

   The Dnipro gang has always been the enemy of Serov, with only one exception, don't show up in Getu!

"Comrade Andropov, do you think that the final result of the Cold War will be our victory?" Serov turned his back to the sun, looking like a shadow from Andropov's point of view, this question surprised him very much , Not only him, but even Valya was surprised, a confused expression appeared on her face, what happened to her husband?

"Why do you say that? Could it be that General Serov has doubts about his work?" Andropov smiled politely, a little bit of vigilance towards Serov. From the past experience, Serov is simply a firm man. Communists, but people change, Andropov needs to consider the deep meaning of Serov's words.

"The enemy is more powerful than imagined. It is not normal for Italy to be happy and happy. It is not that Italy is everywhere. After Italy, the First General Administration also inspected the neighboring France and Greece! The result is quite pessimistic. Our foreign comrades cannot It is not powerful, but the enemy is even more powerful than usual, and this is the dilemma we face!" Serov looked at the Italian Prime Minister's Office with a weak look, and turned to Andropov, "How can we win , how can we build the society we need? I am the vice chairman of the KGB, the ace chief, people call me the reserve chairman, the little chairman, the Caspian tiger! But this is not the reason for my joy, I feel the saddest The thing is, I am afraid that what I see before I die is that I have worked my whole life without anyone's approval, and that is the most terrifying!"

  Andropov didn't say anything, and he savoured Serov's words carefully. This is not the kind of domestic cadre who knows nothing about foreign countries. The department that has the most contact with the Soviet Union and foreign countries, except the KGB, is their Central Liaison Department! Not only are they connected with the allies of socialist countries, the Italian Communist Party, the French Communist Party and even the American Communist Party are all projects of Andropov's work. He naturally understood Serov's concerns, and it took a long time to say, "But this is our ideal, Now we are practicing this great ideal, we are not sure that we will succeed, but we must put it into action..."
