MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 1000 The imaginary enemy is the US military
The world, including the United States and the Soviet Union, celebrates a great victory, but for different countries, this great victory has very different meanings. Serov can confirm one thing. The security environment of the Soviet Union was at the best time in history. For this reason, some of the rare literary and artistic fans of the big spy took out a Soviet junior high school mathematics textbook to review, which lasted for five minutes, and finally put it away, He thought that calculus and analytic geometry of Euclidean space could not be understood.
It seems that the Red Alert series is not without prototypes. There is no computer in the Soviet Union in this game. The V3 rocket launcher is manually launched by the driver after calculation, which proves the mathematical ability of the Soviets. Black to the depths of nature fans, Americans are also black out of feelings.
"The development of things is so funny. I can't find some colleagues to designate policies. Every time I encounter a problem, I need to find a group of retired people to discuss it. This is not the tragedy of our country." Shelov shook his head and sighed. Confused, he always came to Shelepin's house to discuss.
In terms of age, the leaders of the Soviet Union in the 1980s should have been Shelepin, Semichasny, Yegolychev, Goryunov, and Mashatsev. But Brezhnev wiped them out as a whole.
Now Serov is very embarrassed. The Central Presidium does not have his peers, either the group of Dnipro gang members who are very old and do not know when they will enter the coffin, or the promotion of Andropov who came up from the rocket. 's officers. The problem is that the cadres promoted by Andropov are actually a few years older than Serov, and their work experience is not as good as that of Brezhnev's gangster group, which is very embarrassing.
"This also allows us to play boring retirement time. In a sense, you take good care of us." Yegolychev laughed, but also said regretfully, "We were too young at the time, I believed it. Brezhnev, or Brezhnev's character, deceived us, probably on purpose."
"Don't talk about the past!" Tolstykov reminded his friend and looked back at Shelepin. The meaning is self-evident. Who is the most unfortunate? Of course, it was Xie Lepin, who was also Secretary of the Central Committee, First Vice-Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and Chairman of the Party and State Supervision Commission.
Sherepin's life can be described as smooth sailing until he met Brezhnev. If it is described as a novel, it is the life of the born protagonist. Even during the most difficult period of the Great Patriotic War, Shelepin worked in the central organs. Yegolychev and Tolstykov all joined the army and went to the front.
"The previous experience is over!" Yegolychev also said something to remedy the situation. Everyone is old, and the past should be looked at. Shelov's arrival made everyone very happy.
If you add Harazov, the first secretary of the Soviet city committee, everyone is in line. It is a pity that Harazov is busy at work, and he is not as shameless as Serov, who always takes time off for physical reasons. so what? He can't come.
After everyone had arrived, Serov mentioned his recent thoughts on political supervision. Of course, he did not forget to mention the issue of raising the status of the Central Council of the Soviet Workers.
"Central Council, huh!" Shelepin smiled vaguely. After Brezhnev dismissed Shelepin as chairman of the Supreme Soviet, he planned to make Shelepin the chairman of the Central Council. Sherepin categorically refused to retire directly, so after hearing about Yanayev, he let out an inexplicable laugh.
"How our supervisory department supervises cadres has always been a concern for me. I have been the chairman of the KGB for so many years, and the Central Supervisory Committee has also been in our hands for so many years. Once I retire, the cadres of the entire security system will Very strong, every time I think of this, I can't sleep." Shelov raised the question in his heart, "I am afraid that the conflict between the security department and the cadre will expand in the future, and I want to avoid this."
Shelepin nodded, this possibility is not impossible, on the contrary, it is quite large. From Sherepin himself, to Semichasny to Serov, the KGB has been in the hands of a group of people for nearly thirty years. It's impossible not to be branded to a certain degree.
"Are you afraid that the general secretary will be among the security cadres in the future?" Yegolychev shook his head and said, "This possibility does not exist. If it really turns out to be like this, the KGB will be purged. Just like the Ministry of Internal Affairs back then It's like being replaced by the KGB, but it won't happen while you're alive."
"It won't happen after I die. It's not easy to get to the point where the self-destruction will become a big joke in the world. The protagonist of this joke is the ideal we have been fighting for for decades." Shelov kept shaking his head, making a big joke. Vice said without thinking, "Once it happens, it is estimated that I will be dug out of the grave."
"Then how are you going to balance?" Sherepin said with a smile, "You can consider digging out Brezhnev and let him come up with ideas. I'm not the best choice."
As soon as Shelepin said these words, everyone burst into laughter, and Goryunov thought for a while and said, "Actually, is it too early to think about these issues, Yura is not very old, and it is still considered the golden age of cadres. ."
"It's getting late, the upgrading of cadres will be completed sooner or later, but it is more difficult to maintain the tradition and make the judicial and security systems more independent, so as to ensure that our country has the momentum to move forward." Shelov spread out on the sofa and said, "I think The judicial and security departments should be subordinated to the Comintern in the future and not be directly interfered by the general secretary, but this involves a problem.”
"The Comintern served the Soviet Union, or the Soviet Union served the Comintern?" Semichasny's speech was to the point.
"That's the problem. In fact, it's not a problem. Of course, the Comintern serves the Soviet Union, but in a sense, the Soviet Union also serves the Comintern. It's a question of how much. After the KGB is under the command of the Comintern, the scope will be wider. At the same time, I will make it clear that the general secretary cannot interfere with the operation of the KGB." Serov explained the thoughts in his heart, the supranational organization of the Comintern can give the KGB a justifiable supervision ability. Not to be interfered by the political structure of the Soviet Union itself, but to complete this step, it is imperative to recruit members from other countries in the future.
"The best security cadre is actually you, and we can't really help with this issue." Tolstoykov shrugged and said truthfully, "Let's talk about other issues, such as retirement age, and collective leadership. things."
Collective leadership has always been advocated by the Soviet Union, but in the end it was always an insurmountable problem because the power of the general secretary was too great.
"To be honest, the general secretary and the chairman of the Supreme Soviet can no longer continue to serve concurrently. Moreover, in the same government, the general secretary cannot remove the post of the members of the Central Presidium." Shelov sighed, "All the members of the Central Presidium have the same status. should be written into the party constitution.”
"This is very good. If there is a problem with the cadres in the previous session, it can be solved by the later ones, but will mutual checks and balances reduce efficiency? As for the restriction of the authority of the general secretary, I am not worried about this." Xie Lepin appreciates it very much. said.
In fact, the real power is still in the hands of the general secretary, but it prevents the general secretary from using his power to pull his cronies into the highest authority of the Soviet Union. Serov, who was affirmed by Shelepin, had confidence in his heart, and he could initially try the effect after five years.
The top priority now, or a more important thing, is how to defeat the United States. The Soviet Union's own reforms can be done before or after the victory over the United States. But Serov prefers to defeat the United States, so that he will be more likely to adjust the balance of power in the various departments of the Soviet Union with the victor's self-disturbance.
Every change in the Middle East is under the observation of the Soviet Union, including various indicators in Iraq and Iran, and is continuously sent to the Kremlin, including the will of the two governments and the public opinion of the people.
Now the Soviet Ministry of Defense has received an order from Serov to simulate the Soviet Union's response plan if the United States intervenes militarily after the outbreak of a war in the Middle East. In fact, it is a war plan. Regarding the Kremlin's order, the Ministry of National Defense is not surprised. The army of a country itself is carrying out various war plans in the face of different imaginary enemies.
is just the plan designated this time, the imaginary enemy is the US military. The situation in the Middle East in this era is completely different, and the Soviet Union occupies an absolute geographical advantage. The layout of military bases and the control of important traffic routes are all over the United States. Once the Middle East war breaks out, at least according to the current situation, the Soviet Union will have an advantage.
Defense Minister Marshal Ahromeyev also maintained an optimistic attitude, "If the Mediterranean Fleet snipes the US Sixth Fleet, we can focus on Egypt and prevent the US military from mobilizing troops from around the world."
"The United States wants to mobilize its forces, and it will not stop because the Suez Canal is no longer in its hands. This kind of deduction is wrong. I imagine the situation is that when the US military has already assembled in the Heva country to attack Iran and Iraq, our rescue. Plan.” Shelov pointed out the point of the problem and said, “We helped Iraq and Iran to fight back, not us to prevent the United States from going to war. In fact, we can’t stop it, and the United States will not stop military operations just because we say a few words.”
Ask Ahromeyev to revise the battle plan, Serov starts to write back to Iraq and Iran, better wait!
