Big Time 1958

Today Serov can’t think about things as a thug, and his solution to the problem can’t break free from the national interests of the Soviet Union, because the weakest point of the Soviet Union’s breaking point is in the Middle East, so when suppressing religious issues, the official documents of the KGB even Neither can explicitly target a certain religion, even if he himself does not want to do so.

  Because the Soviet Union is going to attack, and now is not after the 1980s, the Soviet Union has no hope of winning the Cold War. If Serov was in that era, he could naturally play high pressure without any scruples and do whatever he wanted. Since it wants to go south, the Soviet Union must take into account the national feelings of the Arabs. This aspect can only be done and cannot be said. The suppression is going on all the time, but it must not appear in written materials.

  The 22nd Congress Khrushchev put forward the concept of the unity of the Soviet nation, and the KGB's work started with the concept of unity. Since everyone is Soviet, regardless of each other, local nationalism will be attacked. Serov has always treated religions equally, rather than making specific distinctions. No matter what kind of Orthodox religion, peace religion or Lamaism you are, they are all targeted, and they will not play double standards at all.

   is precisely because of this, so for these restless allies, we must also have an attitude of negotiating to solve problems. If the Soviet Union was to win the Cold War, the strength of the European Communist Party would be of great use. On the Eastern European side, every time the Soviet Union sends troops to interfere in the internal affairs of these small partners, it is essentially an overdraft of the credit of the socialist movement. When the credit of socialism is exhausted, the Soviet Union will not have any capital to compete with the United States unless it sends troops. Fight to the death with the Americans in a nuclear war.

Regarding the issue of the Soviet Union's credit, Serov can know from history that the international image of the Soviet Union was completely lost in three intervening actions. The first was the Polish-Hungarian incident, the second was the Czechoslovak reform, and the third was the It was the war in Afghanistan that, for the first time, caused the weakening of the European communist parties, which went from decisive to political power. The second time was a fatal blow to the European Communist forces. At that time, the Soviet Union could no longer find enough friends from across the Iron Curtain. The third war in Afghanistan directly caused the world to abandon the last trace of warmth towards the Soviet Union. Even the military heart of the Soviet Union was impressed.

Especially the third Afghan war, no matter how propaganda it is, Afghanistan was nominally a socialist country at that time, and the Soviet Union, as the leader of the socialist camp, made a big attack on a socialist country, which would cause confusion among the domestic people. For a country like the Soviet Union, once there is confusion in the mind, it is a big thing. What's more terrible is that the first few times can be said to be interference, and the last time is war.

  The Kremlin, the power center of the Soviet Union, is no stranger to Serov. He has often appeared in the kitchen debate since the beginning of the debate. This time he came to the Soviet Supreme Presidium to accept the award. The person who awarded the honor is also an old face. Brezhnev, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, is willing to investigate the case of Colonel Benikovsky.

"Yura, are there any traitors you can't dig out?" There were four people awarded this time. Section and another first deputy director of a total of four people. As for the final result of the Central Presidium on Colonel Benikovsky's treason case, it has not yet been discussed, but judging from the rumors that have emerged, the handling this time may be quite serious.

"This is the credit of all our anti-rebel workers in the KGB!" Shelov replied in a low voice. Of course, this investigation not only unearthed the treason case of Colonel Benikovsky, but also more than a dozen other crimes related to foreign intelligence and foreign intelligence. The people who have been in contact with the forces have also been dug up and are now detained in the Lubyanka internal prison, but other people's crimes may still have a chance to survive. The most serious one is that they may be imprisoned for life, but Beni. Colonel Kowski must be dead, the only difference is how.

"From Peter Popov and Pinkovsky to now Colonel Benikovsky, our comrades in the Presidium of the Central Committee see the results of your work, and the first secretary also praised the work of the KGB! Brezhnev said, hanging the Lenin Medal on the chests of several people in the row, "There are KGB anti-rebel workers who work selflessly, and the Central Committee will not have the slightest worry about national security. Congratulations to comrades for their work in the future. Make persistent efforts to dig out the traitors lurking in our organization!"

   "As a counter-revolutionary worker, for the sake of the motherland, sniff out and eradicate traitors!" Serov promised loudly.

After a while, Serov, who was about to leave the Kremlin, met Andropov, the head of the Central Liaison Department. Andropov took Serov's hand and said in a low voice, "We will meet at night, and Comrade Ilyich will also Come back to my house as a guest..."

   "Okay!" Although Serov was surprised, he glanced at Andropov suspiciously, but he still agreed calmly. In the evening, Serov took the bus to Andropov's house. In fact, he originally wanted to have Isemotny drive him here, but considering the impact, he finally decided to crowd the bus.

Andropov lived in an apartment. In fact, according to his level, he could live in a better place, but he did not do so. There are several reasons for this. The first one involves the treatment of KGB personnel. In addition to being restricted by Khrushchev, the KGB enjoys very good treatment in other areas. Housing and automobiles are much more relaxed than other departments. For example, after Sherepin left the KGB, he left the KGB villa. After moving out, if it was Serov, he would definitely not do this, and he would definitely find a way to stay in the villa area and not leave.

Andropov's home is also very simple, with everything that should be there. He politely greeted Andropov's wife, and Serov went to Andropov's study, from Sherepin's house. Serov can know from the experience in the book that the real master should be waiting for him in the study, maybe Brezhnev is also there.

   "Yuri, are you here so early?" Pushing open the door of the study, Brezhnev immediately said happily.

   Is it early? It seemed that it was already dark, and Serov secretly said that he did not bother with this kind of courtesy. Squint and surprised, Marshal Malinovsky, Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, he is actually here. Really wanting to see Serov's surprise, Marshal Malinovsky laughed and said, "Yuri, don't be surprised, today we just come over and sit..."

   Did Marshal Malinovsky already wear a pair of pants with Brezhnev? Thinking about it carefully, Serov thinks it is unlikely that he is a security cadre of the KGB, whether it is Brezhnev or Marshal Malinovsky, once their intimate contacts are made known to him, it is very important. It may be passed to Khrushchev's ears that both of them are big people who have gone through the wind and rain, so they shouldn't be so stupid, then... there is something wrong.

Serov, who was in a hurry, sat down silently and said in a low voice, "Chairman Brezhnev, Marshal Malinovsky, you must have something to do with me, because Benikovsky betrayed the country. case?"

Brezhnev and Marshal Malinovsky looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. I didn't expect Serov to guess the purpose of the two of them so quickly. The mental activity of the two will do. That's how Benikovsky got it, not a lie detector.

"Yuri, it is like this, I have a good relationship with Marshal Valentsov, you should know that Marshal Valentsov and Benikovsky have a good relationship, but you KGB should also find out, don't Colonel Nikovsky's case has nothing to do with Marshal Valentsov!" Marshal Malinovsky said, "There is no doubt about this, I believe that with the ability of your KGB, it is not difficult to investigate... "

"I have no doubts about Marshal Valentsov's personal conduct, but this matter is subject to the opinion of the Central Presidium. We just report the case truthfully!" Shelov already understood what Marshal Malinovsky said. Meaning, he hoped that Marshal Valentsov would not be involved in this matter, but it was impossible.

According to the current situation under the control of the KGB, nearly 1,000 photos of Benikovsky's home have been searched. If Benikovsky had even a little thought for others, he would not commit treason. The crime of treason is unforgivable, even for big reasons.

"As for Marshal Valentsov, I can only say sorry, Marshal Malinovsky, the only thing you can do now is to persuade Valents after the trial of the case and before the Central Presidium makes a ruling. Marshal Lianzov took the initiative to retire, so it seems that Marshal Valentsov's achievements in the Great Patriotic War may not be too harsh on Marshal Valentsov by the Central Presidium, otherwise things will be troublesome." Serov is not at all. Without alarmism, he said directly, "Once the Central Presidium takes the initiative to make a ruling, the matter will be irreversible. Take the last Pinkovsky case as an example, Chairman Brezhnev should know this very well!"

"Pinkovsky's father-in-law was demoted from the rank of artillery admiral to the rank of major general after discussion by the Central Presidium, and he retired immediately, and all his merits were taken back." Brezhnev nodded, indicating that he also knew about this matter. .

"Yes, how can I help? Retiring immediately is the best result, otherwise the rank of marshal will not be preserved!" Shelov said without concealment, "Many of Benikovsky's friends will be investigated, this time The case will affect many people, and the KGB can only wait for the Central Presidium to announce the results!"
