MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 868 Control the Ministry of Internal Affairs

   "Take them in." Shelov was in a complicated mood. The petitioner and the KGB were not next to each other, but he admired the courage of the family. Who would dare to come to the headquarters of the anti-rebel workers? Not to mention the petition.

  I’m still a fellow from Azerbaijan. I came to Moscow all the way from the Caucasus, but I don’t know why I didn’t go to the relevant departments, but went to Lubyanka Square to solve my housing problem.

  With the chairman's order, the middle-aged and elderly women petitioning was not blocked this time. Receiving petitioners is really not next to the work of the KGB, but the KGB has indeed done a lot of things that are not related to it. All come to the door, then listen.

   "The 11-square-meter house for four people is indeed a little less. This matter is indeed the responsibility of our government." She brought a glass of lemonade to the other party, and Shelov admitted with a good attitude. He really wanted to shirk his responsibility, but unfortunately there was no big real estate developer in the Soviet Union to allow him to do so. There is a lot of wood in the east of the Ural Mountains. There is a local policy for individuals to apply for building materials, and they will generally be approved. Anyway, there are many local coniferous forests. Apparently the Caucasus does not have this condition.

"But you can't threaten self-immolation on Red Square. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will also cause harm to the country and yourself. It's a lose-lose outcome, right?" The woman was obviously not good at Russian, so she wanted to let the The other party understands Serov and can only talk to the other party in the stumbling Azerbaijani language while recalling.

"I've been here several times, and everyone ignores us. Our family needs a new house, but every time it's not our turn!" The woman with the red turban was also very excited. If she had a choice, she wouldn't willing to do so.

"Is the Kirovburg area right?" Serov still had some impressions of the second largest city in Azerbaijan. When he remembered it, that city was originally used for detaining imperialist spies. Nearly 30 years ago, he A group of people were killed there, and the women were made to wait. The general political commissar still needs to know about the local situation.

I called the Kirovburg National Security Agency, and the local housing is indeed relatively tight, "I remember that when the houses were built, the security departments in various places had a backlog of houses as spares, and set aside one set for the family. No need, let it all go to local workers who lack housing."

"All localities will do the same. We will not keep this batch of houses. We will start the second batch of projects and continue to build them. The distribution of this batch of houses will be determined by the effect of the anti-slow work movement." Serov said to Bobkov The general ordered.

  The population of the Soviet Union has reached 260 million, growing faster than in history. The group of people who came of age after the Great Patriotic War, their children have also begun to grow up. In this case, the housing problem in the Soviet Union is still tense. Shelov is going to replicate his actions in the past, linking housing with tasks, and this time the allocation of housing is not linked to having a few children, but to the performance of the anti-slack movement. This time, he will not learn from Beria's use of killing to spur Subordinates, but it's almost the same. Housing is also a big problem.

"Next time, I don't want the petitioners to come to Lubyanka. This is not the responsibility of our department. Whether it can be handled or not, you better have an attitude. Whether it is good or bad, don't take it as invisible." To the Soviet Union After the call of the Central Council, Serov was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Federation of Trade Unions treated the petitioners as invisible.

"Comrade Deskaya, I want to know if you were stopped by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when you came to Moscow." The petition was not violently treated. In his impression, it seemed to be something after the 21st century. . The reason is very simple. The monitoring system is not only monitoring ordinary people, but also monitoring the central government on local governments.

   Of course, this does not solve all problems, and the surveillance video can also be erased. But it is undeniable that because there are scruples, the powerful departments will not be reckless in law enforcement. But that's not enough. And the Internet can play the greatest power.

   It may be inevitable to create a batch of pill parties, but the benefits far outweigh the slight disadvantages.

   "Okay, I almost understand. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is now a bit outrageous." Serov has almost understood from the other party's reaction that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union is not much nobler than other countries. It’s just that the American police are not as casual as the American police who don’t say anything, but this is also an opportunity.

   Arranged to send the petitioning women back to their hometown, Serov stood up and called Servanov in, and ordered, "Hold a meeting of the KGB Presidium, and also, call General Serokoff, the Minister of Internal Affairs will attend."

"General Serokoff is seventy-two years old this year. He has been working hard for a long time, and it is time to spend his old age in peace." Serov's business attitude is in stark contrast to General Serokoff's pale face. .

"Retire, go home and look at the children, the country needs some new changes, and your energy may not be up to the task." After reading the order, Serov whispered to General Serokoff, "After the meeting is over, come here. Come to my office."

  There is certainly a retirement mechanism in the Soviet Union, but given the 50% pension in the Soviet Union, few people would choose to retire voluntarily. Therefore, this retirement system has become an assessment standard for Brezhnev. Shelepin, Semichasny, Yegolychev, and Kosygin, who have a bad relationship with the general secretary, will retire at the appropriate time.

   And people like Zinev, Serokoff, and Tsvigon have a good relationship with the general secretary, so the retirement age can be delayed. Both Zinev and Serokoff are in their seventies and still working in the front line.

"Also, in the future, members of the National Security Committee and the NKVD must wear military uniforms when they go to work. Under no circumstances can they wear civilian clothes to work. What are you afraid of? We are soldiers. Follow up with all efforts to curb the phenomenon of sabotage and waste, which are not in line with our socialist morality, and the second batch of housing construction plans are already being formulated, and the allocated housing is linked to the work indicators, understand?” Shelov shouted.

   "Yes!" The General Political Commissar was answered with a neat slogan. Within two months, Zinev and Serokov left one after another, which has already made everyone understand that the country has changed. According to the written report, under the new situation, the focus of work should be adjusted flexibly. It means that in the face of Shelov's attitude, they now have to understand the advance and retreat.

   revive the Soviet Union. The first thing he did was to put the order in the Soviet Union in order through harsh police tactics. At least for now, Serov still believes that his department understands the capitalist camp better than the average local cadres, and at the same time understands the Soviet Union's own problems. Since both problems are understood, it is not impossible for the police to run the country.

In his own office, Serov directly threw out Serokoff's corruption complaint letter and whispered, "I don't want to create an unjust case, but you must never doubt my ability. The work of eliminating counter-revolutionaries can be regarded as an expert in the work of eliminating counter-revolutionaries, so that person can only be me."

"This is a slander. If you use privilege to improve your life, I am no different from ordinary cadres. I have followed the party's orders all my life and have never made any mistakes." He was shivering. If he followed what was said in the whistleblower letter, it would not be a question of retirement. He would either go to jail or die. He would rather choose the latter.

"It's been almost 20 years, and you, the Minister of Internal Affairs, finally told the truth. I can use your life to shock others. Brezhnev is dead, and I can do it." Serov hummed and smiled. "But I have to take into account that although the general secretary has always been monitoring and suppressing us, the lives of Sherepin, Semichasny, and Yegolychev have not been harmed, and because of this, I am not going to make an unjust case. shoot you."

  The tree has fallen, and Brezhnev is dead. Serov doesn’t even care about Chernenko, and he still cares about the subordinates of the security system like Zinev and Tsvigon. What kind of joke?

"Enjoy your old age and submit your retirement report voluntarily tomorrow. You have to go through the necessary procedures. Your future life will be under the supervision of the KGB. You are the Minister of the Interior, so you should understand the reasoning. Don't worry, you will not let You feel it!" Shelov pointed to the reporting channel, "Take it and find a place to burn it yourself."

Because of their close relationship with Brezhnev, Serokoff and Tsvigon have historically ended in suicide after Andropov came to power. Serov felt that the cause of death of these two people was very suspicious. Andropov has been the chairman of the KGB for so many years, it is not particularly difficult for others to commit suicide.

   The next day, the Minister of Internal Affairs Sherokov submitted a report on the application for retirement. After Shelov wrote his personal opinion, he submitted it to the Soviet Central Presidium, which was approved without incident. General Serokoff, who served as minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for nearly two decades, retired.

   "Now he finally understands how we felt back then, but how young we were back then, he was dying." Shemichasne touched his hair and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, now I'm old too."

"Unexpectedly, the Central Presidium chose Fedorchuk from the three people I recommended. I thought he made up the number, but that's okay, he is the same as Chebrikov, and has a similar character to you. " Sheloff said calmly.

   "I'm more opinionated than they are!" Semichasny disagreed with Serov's point of view, although they were all fellow villagers.

  Yes, if you weren't so assertive, how could you be forced to retire by Brezhnev? You are fellow countrymen...
