MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 922 dad is back

   "Then, the vote is passed!" Serov announced the approval of the resolution without changing his face, and then let Ligachev draw up the document to publish, and left the conference room, "Reagan, now we can have a good time."

   There has never been a Soviet leadership in which police-turned-cadres occupy so many seats. Serov pulled in four police cadres, Bobkov, Chebrikov, Fedorchuk and Tsvigon, to become the official members of the Central Presidium. It is also a shock to local cadres. At least in the short term, the Soviet Union needs these ruthless police cadres to use tough means to withstand the increasing pressure from Reagan.

If the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union is expanded in the future, Serov will consider Nazarbayev, who seems to be much more reliable than Ryzhkov, but at this stage, none of the cadres he is optimistic about are qualified to enter the Presidium of the Soviet Central Committee. . Many of the more famous Russian giants in later generations are now ordinary people, and they are not expected to be counted on.

"As for the Propaganda Department, we still need to promote the rejuvenation of cadres. Comrade Zyuganov, I think there is no problem with being the Minister of the Propaganda Department. This appointment is still given by Comrade Ligachev." I gave everyone a back, and for a while I forgot another less important appointment. Little Valya could only tell Ligachev, the second secretary, secretly.

  Little Valya showed her true appearance, suppressed her smile, and went to Ligachev to convey the meaning of the general secretary. Rumours about the general secretary's declining memory began to circulate in the Kremlin starting today.

  Many people really believed it, and many people also took out previous rumors to confirm the current rumors. When it reached the ears of the initiator, the general secretary himself, Serov had to say, "It doesn't matter what nationality you are watching!"

"Someone wants me to see Lenin sooner. It's impossible. I'm in better health than them." Shelov didn't think that these people would be able to deal with him by seeing him for a long time. .

   Good health is not believed by others, but little Valya, who caters to old men, absolutely believes it. It comes from personal experience now...

  In the end, little Valiya raised her neck and sang like she was hit by a bullet, and fell asleep in the arms of the old man, cleaning things up, you can talk about it tomorrow! The sticky feeling underneath is not unbearable.

   "Comrade Hoxha is immortal!" Serov wanted to laugh, but he held it back, but in the end he didn't hold back. With bursts of suppressed laughter in his own office, the last leader qualified to challenge the Soviet Union in Europe finally said goodbye himself, just after Chernenko died.

   For a small country like Albania, it is definitely a dream to challenge the Soviet Union with its national strength. But at certain historical times, these small states could use their leader's influence to cause trouble for the Soviet Union. China is like this, Yugoslavia is like this, and even the weak Albania can cause trouble for the Soviet Union, and this trouble is not small.

  The European Communist Party thinks that the Soviet Union is too revolutionary, and Albania thinks that the Soviet Union is too unrevolutionary, just as China saw the Soviet Union 70 years ago, so what should we do? The Soviet Union is also very desperate. What can they do to satisfy all the Communist parties?

  There is a characteristic in the international communist movement. Generally speaking, countries with strong religious overtones before the Communist Party came to power were more prone to ideological cleanliness, and vice versa was more prone to pragmatism. Albania is almost a typical example of this.

  Albania, as the first socialist country firmly established in the world of peace, Hoxha has higher requirements for theoretical purity than China and the Soviet Union, and cannot tolerate the betrayal of the communist movement by the Soviet Union and China. Its core point is to oppose any form of nationalism and emphasize the class interests of the proletariat regardless of nationality, which Marx and Engels have repeatedly emphasized. Once the Hoxha doctrine was put forward, it immediately attracted many Catholic and pacifist world communist parties with the same strong religious color.

   is such a small country, even its own operation is a problem, and it has even set off a wave of Hoxhas in the world. In some places, the Hoxha faction is bigger than the Soviet Union and China. Among the revolutionary forces in Latin America, the influence of the Hoxha faction has already surpassed that of the Sino-Soviet Union.

  The Nicaraguan government supported by the Soviet Union includes many Hoxha followers. In the Middle East, because Iran and Iraq were originally peaceful regions, the influence of the Hoxha faction is not low at all, but Serov pinched his nose and pretended not to see it.

  Albania, after the 1970s, has replaced China as the biggest challenger to the Soviet Union in the ideological field. This is more powerful than the silent third line of the European Communist Party. The European Communist Party is quietly transforming itself, and far less swift and violent than the open challenge of the Hoxha faction.

"Comrade Chebrikov, let Comrade Baluku come over, we can talk!" Shelov picked up the phone and put on a smile that belonged to the anti-revolutionary workers. This time Shelov will tell some people that his father is back. With this trick, not only the United States can use it, he is also very skilled in using this trick.

  Baluku military group, this is the crime that Hoxha made for cleaning up the leadership of the Albanian People's Army in 1975. But this group of people was asked by Shelov to come over, but they have been kept for later use. Now, the time has finally come...

"Hoxha has passed away, Comrade Baluku, I think it's time for your motherland to get back on track." Serov looked at the white-haired Albanian People's Army general Baluku, who had been in the Soviet Union for nearly ten years. years. If Hoxha lived for ten or eight years, Baluku might die in front of him.

"General Secretary Serov, you've been waiting for this day, right?" General Baluku sighed. There are many leaders who can be said to be farsighted in the international situation, but like the other party, they often spend more than ten years. After 20 years of layout, Baluku has only seen Serov for so many years. How many decades does a person have in his life?

   "I can't say what you think is wrong!" Shelov smiled. He never thought that defeating the United States was very easy. It took ten years to bury landmines that could be used in the future. This is nothing.

   Compared with history, Albania also has favorable factors for the Soviet Union at present. For example, when the Soviet Union and Albania reconciled, Albania was guided by the Soviet Union to become a military power in exchange for assistance from the Soviet Union.

In Albania, which focuses on the military, the army has become the top priority of the entire country, not to mention that it can be used to exchange for assistance from the Soviet Union while consolidating the country's position. If a group of former Albanian senior officers are not in Serov's hands, there is actually no problem. Yes, but the problem is that these people are indeed in Serov's hands, and that's the problem.

  Since the largest group in Albania is the Albanian People's Army, can a group of former senior officers of the People's Army in Moscow's hands play a role? Serov asked General Chebrikov to bring a list of officers of the Albanian People's Army as a little sincerity to help General Baluku.

After receiving assistance from the Soviet Union, the number of Albanian Army infantry brigades increased from eight to 18, and was equipped with a batch of Soviet weapons. Before the expansion, these infantry brigades were less mechanized and mainly relied on reserve forces. After the reduction, the personnel were enriched. , the level of mechanization increased. Each infantry brigade consists of one battalion of infantry and one battalion of artillery plus a subordinate detachment. The armored force has three tank brigades, equipped with Chinese-aided Type 59 and Soviet T54 tanks. The artillery force was increased from one regiment to three regiments. Before going far away from China, Albania successively received 11,000 artillery pieces of various calibers. The number is very considerable, but they are basically small-caliber artillery pieces and mortars.

   "Choose a company of soldiers of the Internal Guard who understand the Albanian language and follow you to visit Albania!" Serov asked, crossing his arms on his stomach, "Comrade Chebrikov, what do you think the success rate is?"

   Shelov was to let Chebrikov try to seize the leadership of Albania when he visited. Send back a group of ex-military leaders in Baluku and settle the last disobedient socialist country in Europe.

   In fact, inviting the new leader of Albania to come to Moscow is a better idea, but during Hoxha's death. The other party would not necessarily agree, so General Chebrikov said silently, "General Secretary, in terms of success rate, you have the highest success rate of going out in person. Even if it fails, Albania will never dare to mess around? "

"That's right, we need a heavyweight, you can't do it yourself! It's not that I'm afraid of risks, it's just that I take the shot myself. Whether it's success or failure, it will damage the reputation of the Soviet Union." The general secretary is not afraid, just As General Chebrikov said, Albania dare not do anything to itself.

   Did Hoxha really make the Albanian Labour Party a monolith? For these countries in Eastern Europe, public opinion is important, but more important is whether the Soviet Union can completely tear its face. As long as they are willing to go out, these countries are not a problem.

In the end, it was decided that Ligachev, the second secretary of the Soviet Union, and General Chebrikov, a member of the Central Presidium, represented the funeral of Soviet President Hoxha. In order to provide sufficient cover, Serov asked other Eastern European countries to respect Albania and send more important cadres to participate. Hoxha's funeral, distracting Albania with a huge lineup.

   "What's the secret code name for this operation?" Serov gave Chebrikov a social-imperial laugh and said, "Dad is back..."
