Big Time 1958

"The general trend is on me, give me ten years, and the world will be very different in ten years!" Serov, who had been fed chicken soup for the soul all night by his wife, regained his self-confidence again, and put on his dark blue military coat in Valya. Looking at the woman in front of him, Sheloff couldn't help touching the soft blonde hair and bowed his head and kissed his wife's cheek, "I want you to live a good life, let our country and people have dignity, society must be stable, and people know how to be kind. Meaning but not unprincipled compromise, can I do it?"

"Of course you can. You are the first vice-chairman of the National Security Council and a member of the NKVD, and you are the commander of the Internal Guard. What are you afraid of? The police of the entire Soviet Union are in your hands, and you are a security cadre too. Internal affairs cadre, you have the right to make suggestions in any department of our country, my husband is only 34 years old this year, and I have no reason to believe that this is our ideal end!" Valiya also held Serov's head, in the words The look on his face was more trusting than Serov himself.

If Khrushchev’s and Brezhnev’s governance levels are really to be compared, Brezhnev’s report card may be even better than Khrushchev’s. The problem has shown that Khrushchev's level is really limited, at least Brezhnev did not have so many problems.

There is another reason. The split between China and the Soviet Union was buried in the Khrushchev era. If Brezhnev was in power, China and the Soviet Union would not have split at all. Very simple, Brezhnev's character and Khru Schoff is different. If Brezhnev was in power, he would not criticize Stalin at all. The reason for the dispute between China and the Soviet Union would not exist, and Brezhnev's character would not be keen on debate. , and directly play the national power crushing that Shelov said. Keep your mouth shut. The Parker GB competes for influence. Khrushchev may only be stronger than Brezhnev in terms of discipline, but the key discipline can't be eaten as a meal. With so many problems in Khrushchev's governance of the country, how long will people endure?

   This year he can use the KGB to suppress the problems of 1960, but if the problems continue to appear next year, how long can Serov be a firefighter? If it weren't for the fact that the Sherepin group I belonged to was really unsure about facing Brezhnev, and if Serov was also a member of the Dnipro gang, he would have responded to Brezhnev immediately without saying a word, and pushed Khrushchev down to repair and China. Relationship. But he is not, he is a member of the Sherepin clique that Brezhnev dislikes.

  If he was from Brezhnev's side, the problem of splitting China and the Soviet Union would be easy to solve. In turn, he maintained his loyalty to Khrushchev, and the problem of lifelong cadres in the Soviet Union was easily resolved. More embarrassing. These two **** problems cannot be solved at the same time. The tenure system of cadres who submit to Brezhnev will come, and the relationship between China and the Soviet Union will become worse and worse. These two issues are very important.

   Even if Serov had given Khrushchev a precaution in advance, with Khrushchev's temper, he might not have been able to bear it for too long and ordered the Soviet Union to refute. Had Brezhnev's character been much easier, he would probably have pretended not to see the criticism.

   Khrushchev can be said to have given Serov enough time to prepare. A full year. The 22nd National Congress will be held this time next year. In one year, Serov can do a lot of things. He wants to save Stalin’s body. In order to prepare for the future, Khrushchev’s anti-Stalin anti-Stalin is doomed to fail. And only the great prestige of Stalin's victory over the Third Reich was suitable as a link between the peoples. First and foremost, let the people from the General Administration of Technology make a crystal coffin. It is a replica of Stalin's crystal coffin. This has to be done slowly, especially so that Khrushchev cannot know.

   After a busy day, Serov brought home the benefits of this overseas purchase. After all, he can't let his wife wash clothes by hand all the time. He can't bear to see his wife live a hard life as a husband. He transports a bunch of electrical appliances to the villa in large and small bags, so that the new home finally doesn't look too empty. After moving things Valya made a few cups of coffee to give the warriors a break, then dragged Serov aside and asked, "Yuri, isn't it too flamboyant? It's only been a while since you were promoted to first vice-chairman..."

"What one person enjoys is called privilege, and what everyone can enjoy is called welfare. Don't worry, Italy will be infiltrated into a sieve sooner or later, and sooner or later we will be able to produce these products. Next year, the main direction of the KGB will turn to Asia-Pacific, and Japan will be our focus. The region and the coastal area are recruiting North Koreans, and I want all the skills!" Shelov comforted his wife and said, "Even if it's a roll of toilet paper, I have to figure out why they are so soft."

   "What kind of metaphor is this, it's dirty!" Valya pushed her husband in disgust and didn't continue to say anything. These household appliances are all for her. When she was from Ukraine, Serov would not come back once a month, and lived directly at the headquarters, where there were several secretaries to take care of him. In other words, Serov didn't need these things at all. If she hadn't returned to Moscow, maybe these appliances would have been given to others by Serov.

   "This year, a total of 60 million was spent on welfare for the KGB, involving 200,000 agents!" Serov said in a low voice.

   Seeing Valiya's little mouth grow up, considering that there are others at home, Serov resisted the desire to kiss Fangze.

Of course, with the continuous arrival of cadres from the National Security Committee in Moscow and the General Administration of Internal Affairs officially known as the NKVD, Serov's work has been temporarily drawn back from abroad. As a counter-revolutionary worker, the primary problem is to solve domestic problems. The hidden danger is not because Serov likes the name of anti-revolutionary workers, but the name has never changed. What security cadres and internal affairs cadres are called when facing other departments, and the communication within the KGB system has always been Self-proclaimed anti-rebel workers.

Since the death of Beria, the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been declining, and most of the original responsibilities have been replaced by the KGB, which has become the most powerful department in the Soviet Union. The same department affected by the KGB, the GRU is responsible for intelligence and special operations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs to maintain social order, and the KGB intervenes ubiquitously in the work of the entire Soviet Union. One day turned into the Internal Affairs Forces of the State Security Council of the USSR.

On November 4th, the National Security and Security Cadre Conference of the Soviet Union was held. This is the largest event in a single department of the Soviet Union. There is no doubt that this conference reflects the strong power of the KGB after the re- annexation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The chairman of the KGB, Shelepin, is in the middle. , The two first vice-chairmen and twelve vice-chairmen, including Serov, presided over the meeting on the rostrum. The subordinates closest to the rostrum were the heads of the major general bureaus of the KGB, other members of the NKVD, and the KGB of the joined republics. The chairman, the chiefs of the internal affairs bureaus of major cities, the commanders of the KGB frontier military districts, the commanders of the KGB internal guards in major cities, and then the chiefs of the major bureaus of the KGB, the chiefs of the internal affairs bureaus, the GRU auditors and garrison representatives , Representatives in enterprises, representatives in scientific research units.

Like last year's conference, not many cadres from the First General Administration attended the meeting. This was also for confidentiality, but Lieutenant General Sakhartowski sat alone at the position closest to the rostrum, representing the importance of the First General Administration to the conference. .

There is another heavyweight person attending the meeting today, and that is the number two person who is not allowed by the Soviet Union. Frol Romanovich Kozlov, Secretary of the Central Committee, and Kozlov attended the meeting on behalf of Khrushchev. The second national congress expressed Khrushchev's own emphasis on the KGB.

After the meeting, Shelepin first stood up and applauded Kozlov's arrival on behalf of the KGB. The three thousand security cadres and internal affairs cadres in the audience stood up and applauded to express their support and admiration for Kozlov. The wave of applause made Kozlov The husband was very happy, and the repeated gestures stopped the prolonged applause.

This is the first time Serov has seen Kozlov's true face. This second-ranking figure in the Soviet Union who was about to crush Brezhnev to death actually looks like a person, that is, he often follows Brezhnev Chernenko beside her husband, I wonder if it is for this reason that Kozlov was very rude to Brezhnev? Sheloff still thought unscrupulously.

Kozlov's approach to political enemies is not new at all, at least as a member of the KGB, Serov is not at all unfamiliar, because Kozlov's approach is a gentler purge. It can be said that the Soviet Union's second The number is regarded as his and Xie Lepin's direct superiors. After Kozlov finished his speech to all the KGB staff, Shelepin first thanked Comrade Kozlov for coming here during his busy schedule, expressed his support for the party and the country for security work, etc., and then started this time. At the National Conference on Security and Public Order, after Shelepin's presentation was completed, according to the reports of the major general bureaus, the members of the KGB presidium began to report on the handling of various problems, feedback to the major general bureaus that raised the problems, and began to solve the problems. .

"As Chairman Shelepin said, after the merger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, our tasks have become heavier, but this is also the trust of the party and the state in us. I have some opinions on the issue of public security. Everyone knows the stability of a society. It is the basic condition for the development of the country. We will never tolerate criminals. According to the report of the General Administration of Internal Affairs, the security situation this year has increased compared with previous years. It cannot be tolerated, a socialist country, there is no soil for the existence of gangs, if one finds one eliminates the other..." Serov said fiercely to the direction of the NKVD cadres, you must know that he is the direct superior of the internal affairs cadres, Serov's attitude shows that he is concerned about public security. attention to the problem.
