MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 887 against

   This interview caused a great uproar in the Western world. It was the first time that a general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union publicly declared that the United States was the enemy of the Soviet Union. In the past, when the United States and the Soviet Union confronted the Soviet Union, the two sides still maintained basic etiquette. This time, starting from US President Ronald Reagan's rhetoric of an evil empire, to Soviet General Secretary Serov's confirmation that the two countries are enemies.

   The world shook for a while, and everyone knew that a more intense confrontation was coming. Some pacifists are full of worries about the future of the world. Even politicians in the United States came out to criticize Reagan. The confrontational policy led by the Reagan administration was very dangerous, and it was the same for the whole world.

"Soviet people's thinking is so direct, so we must protect ourselves and let the Soviet Union not dare to take risks." For Reagan, Serov's statement was a godsend. , suppressed to the point where the overall situation cannot be determined. A fierce Soviet response was exactly what he wanted.

"Among the various confrontations, I haven't said so far. Reagan thinks he has a big advantage? Is it a geographic advantage? Or a demographic advantage? Both of these advantages are on our side, and Eurasia is in our hands. , come on, let's get rid of them this time!" Sheloff said dismissively, "I like Reagan, who thinks he has an advantage."

   Sherov certainly didn't just fight back with a cannonball, but he's been busy these days and has just had some time. Lately he has been busy with his personal affairs, worrying about his son's marriage to Shcherbitsky's daughter. The marriage of Sherbitsky and Sherbitsky made everyone else understand why Sherbitsky finally chose to side with Sherbitsky.

  The wedding process is very simple, according to the general etiquette of the Soviet Union, and then everyone can have a meal together. Serov had to use his salary to entertain the members of the Central Presidium.

"General Chebrikov, let's build momentum and let some media nominate this year's Nobel Peace Prize and present it to Reagan and me?" Serov said indifferently, "It seems that the prize money is not too small. Woolen cloth."

   "General Secretary, you are still so fond of joking." General Chebrikov knew this was not reliable as soon as he heard it, which seemed to have no other benefits other than disgusting the Nobel Peace Prize.

   Isn't this benefit enough? Is it disgusting the Soviet Union's own International Lenin Peace Prize? Reagan didn't necessarily come to pick it up.

Serov had just become General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union for the first week, and nominated several alternate members of the Central Presidium, namely, the First Vice-Chairman of the KGB, General Chebrikov, the First Vice-Chairman of the KGB, General Bobkov, and the First KGB. Vice-President General Tsweigun, and Minister of Internal Affairs General Fedorchuk. Entrusting four police generals at one time directly turned the Kremlin into Lubyanka.

   The purpose of promoting these four security cadres is to carry forward the campaign against sabotage and anti-privilege, especially against sabotage. The former has a greater negative impact because the number of the former is larger. Serov isn't going to let go of the whip for at least two years.

   "Is Comrade Brezhnev here? I don't like people who are late!" Serov rolled his eyes, he would have a meeting in a while, and only now had a little time. He was talking about the first deputy minister of foreign trade, the son of the former general secretary, Yuri Brezhnev.

"General Secretary, he has come and has been waiting outside." General Chebrikov is also preparing to leave. Serov did not resign as chairman of the National Security Committee, but he returned to Lubyanka less often. Now Lupus Yanka is usually the first vice-chairman in turn.

"Isn't it because I went to Chernenko to test my words?" Serov said with a smile, feeling that Yuri Brezhnev was making a big fuss. just deal with him? Besides, the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade is not worth dealing with personally.

   However, it is indeed a countermeasure. Brezhnev's son is the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and his son-in-law is the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Someone has to get out.

  Brezhnev has only one son and one daughter in total. Both the son and the son-in-law are the first deputy ministers. What do you think?

"Don't get me wrong, although you definitely know about your father's restrictions on me, but that's all in the past. I also have to pay attention to the image of the former general secretary, but that's precisely why you and your brother-in-law are both Is the first deputy minister of an important department, which has a negative impact on the image of General Secretary Brezhnev, you should understand?" Serov pondered for a moment and said, "I am a direct person, you also know very well, Let's put it this way, who left you and Churbanov?"

   He didn't want to make an overly obvious reckoning move. The reason Serov couldn't do it was not because of how great he was. He forgot the slight threat that Brezhnev had made to him at the beginning, but another reason. He was also afraid of the reckoning after the autumn. Shelov didn't have no descendants. If someone killed him, wouldn't he fall into the pit.

   "We understand, I have to go back and discuss it with my sister." Yuri Brezhnev breathed a sigh of relief, compared to the worst outcome, this is not bad. The general secretary is very frank. When his father was the general secretary, he really never felt relieved about the KGB, and restrictions have always been in place.

   Shelov now chooses to reconcile with the Dnipro gang, which is no longer a grudge. As the general secretary, if Shelov really wants to fight infighting, it will definitely take a few years to achieve his goal. I believe that no one will doubt this. Many general secretaries who were very small at the beginning have turned defeat into victory and trampled their opponents under their feet.

   "I still think about the overall situation, and I feel great when I think about it." When it is time to praise himself, Serov will never be polite, such as now. What magnanimous, broad-minded words come though...

  When Reagan thought he had a great advantage, if he bit the Dnipro gang at this time, he would have lost a watermelon and picked up sesame seeds. To be light, he would not have a big picture, and to be serious, he would not be much better than Ge Tutu.

   As far as Reagan's current policy is concerned, the external environment faced by the Soviet Union is simply not suitable for reform. At least there is no chance for the general secretary to be a cadre crusher. If Ge Tutu takes ten years to adjust slowly...

Shelov has always been strict with others, and his requirements on himself are relatively loose, but there is one point, he must be stronger than the map of Ge in history, this goal is not difficult to achieve, as long as the three views are positive, don't have blind confidence in yourself. That's it.

   Now is the time to fight back. It is not about scolding Alzheimer's with your mouth in front of the camera. The real counterattack cannot be done with your mouth, but with the strength of the country.

   "Today's meeting is to discuss the Star Wars plan for the United States." Serov held a meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium, which was also the first time he formally held a meeting as general secretary. To this end, he also specifically solicited the views of the Supreme Soviet Chairman and Second Secretary Chernenko.

According to history, within half a year, Chernenko will be like Andropov, first working on a hospital bed, and then directly asking the Soviet Union to hold a state funeral. Serov will never rob this state funeral. He is very magnanimous. As long as Chernenko proposes, there is definitely a cemetery for him on Red Square.

"With the anti-slack movement, the country's growth will reach more than 10 percent this year, which is a good answer!" Tikhonov, chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, first reported on the economic level, and no one can wear Look at the crotch pants, go to the opposite side to wrestle with a hungry meal, without enough economic support, how can you fight against the United States?

  Before the anti-sabotage movement started, the economy of the Soviet Union did not reach a state of stagnation. Of course, the Soviet Union has controlled and influenced so many more countries than in history, and the external environment is much safer. In addition to the extra property and population, the Soviet Union will of course encounter bottlenecks later. Before Andropov's anti-sabotage campaign began, the Soviet Union was still growing faster than most countries...

"It seems that there is no problem at the economic level! Now let me talk about the Star Wars program of the United States, the Star Wars program launched by Reagan, which has already begun to be invested. Marshal Ustinov believes that we must increase investment in space, Prevent the United States from gaining an advantage in space and at the same time posing a threat to our country." Shelov gave a brief introduction, and saw Marshal Ustinov nodded, the military's attitude was of course to meet.

   "What the general secretary said is what I want to say!" Marshal Ustinov said excitedly. He initially preferred Chernenko, but who knew about this? In the end, he still saw so many people support Shelov, and when he was on his own, the overall situation was settled, and he gave Shelov a friendship ticket.

"From the current technology, it is almost impossible for the US Star Wars to succeed, or there is no hope of success at all! Reagan just thought that the US economy has a great advantage and wanted to have an impact on the economy through the arms race with us. Towards." Shelov smiled naturally, "But once the plan starts, if we challenge, the United States will not withdraw, because this competition is mutual, the United States is afraid of our success, on the contrary, we are also afraid of the United States' success."

"Once we decide to follow up, the United States will increase its investment after learning. In fact, this game is not difficult to understand. Whoever can't stand it first and has an impact on the country's economy will lose." Shelov lowered his head and thought. After a while, he said, "So my decision, fight!" The Soviet Union's economy has reached 90% of that of the United States. Although the allies of the United States are rich countries, but the allies of the Soviet Union have a large population, there is no reason to be afraid of the United States.
