Big Time 1958

  Mikoyan is completely self-confessed. He doesn't know that in Serov's eyes, all people are equal, and whoever hinders the Soviet Union will be suppressed by him. Whether it's Russia or Ukraine or Azerbaijan.

   "Sherov? Let me think about it." Khrushchev stayed in place for a while and said seriously. After Khrushchev decided to retire, he had to think about the political structure of the Soviet Union after his retirement. He certainly did not want another Stalin to appear in the Soviet Union, or even a self in the Soviet Union.

   Stalin's memory of Khrushchev was too deep, and after the incident in Ryazan Prefecture, he realized that he had also encountered the problem Stalin encountered at that time, that is, his own status was a bit higher than that of other committee members.

The Soviet Union no longer needs a leader who can see everything, so this is one of the reasons why Khrushchev finally chose Brezhnev. Collective leadership is what Khrushchev has always advocated, but at the same time he has never done it. Pass. How to make Brezhnev perform the responsibility of collective leadership is Khrushchev's question.

At present, in terms of personality, Brezhnev has no problems. From the opinions inside and outside the party, he is very good, treats people kindly, and has the demeanor of an elder, but Khrushchev knows that everything now cannot be used as a judgment in the future. standard. He has been a leader for more than ten years and understands that, over time, collective leadership will eventually be diluted by the authority of the general secretary.

   Therefore, Khrushchev let Shelepin go, and at the same time handed over the economy to Kosygin, allowing them to form authority in their own field. On the contrary, he did not give too much special care to Brezhnev, the second secretary.

It didn't take long for Khrushchev to return to his office. Mikoyan's proposal just now has officially entered his consideration. Considering the relationship between Shelepin and Shelov, whether to put the KGB chairman in the Central Presidium as an official Commissioner, will this greatly increase Sherepin's power and risk a coup d'etat?

  Khrushchev brought himself into the roles of Brezhnev and Kosygin respectively to consider this issue. If they were in their position, what would they think of young cadres from the Communist Youth League like Shelepin?

"A huge threat!" This was Khrushchev's first thought. Perhaps Brezhnev and Kosygin would be wary of Sherepin's group, but considering the balance of power, this is not an unacceptable one. s Choice.

   Shelepin has never presided over the work of the local party committee, Kosygin is an outstanding planning economist, and Brezhnev is a local cadre and has a lot of practical work experience. First Secretary Brezhnev and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosygin, the first and second leaders can check and balance the people of Sherepin. Seems like this is a balanced triangle...

   Although Khrushchev did not have much knowledge, he still knew the basic common sense that triangles were the most stable. It is like the relationship between the party, the army and the special forces. The party commands the army, the army checks and balances the KGB, and the KGB monitors contingencies. After killing Beria, Khrushchev once wanted to demolish the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, he did demolish it in the end, but in the end, he still had to rebuild the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but with a different name.

   "A little younger, but there is no problem." After careful consideration, Khrushchev felt that he should add a layer of insurance to his collective leadership after retirement to prevent another self from appearing.

   In terms of seats on the Central Presidium, although Xie Lepin himself has a high position and has a group of supporters, basically the supporters are far away from the Central Presidium and are at the level of the Central Committee members. Compared with the combination of Brezhnev and Kirilenko, as well as the Kosygin trio, they seem relatively alone.

   Carefully recalling the occurrence of many hot events, Serov did act desperately enough, and planned a lot of actions, he had a good grasp of the evolution of the situation, and of course there were all kinds of tricks. It is completely possible to say that promotion is also possible. After careful consideration, Khrushchev felt that Mikoyan's opinion was not bad.

   The KGB's Special Service for the Military Administration of the Military Administration, which of course became independent from the General Directorate of Military Administration after Serov assumed the chairmanship. The Special Service was staffed throughout the Soviet Armed Forces. Its personnel were sent not only to various units of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, but also to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the GRU and even to the border guards belonging to the KGB. Therefore, the Special Branch plays a very important role in ensuring the absolute leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union over the armed forces.

The existence of this department will allow the Ministry of National Defense to be checked and balanced. Only when the Ministry of Defense is checked and balanced can the position of the KGB be guaranteed. Without the KGB department, the Soviet army will lose its checks and balances. It is estimated that Zhukov is a lesson from the past. Don’t look at Khrushchev’s release of him again. Today, Khrushchev still thinks that he did nothing wrong, and Zhukov’s influence on the Red Army is negative.

"You bastard, wait until August to see if I won't kill you. It's better to disband the prison, why didn't a mental patient jump out and kill your whole family..." The chief political commissar, who was concerned by Khrushchev, kept going home. Muttering in a low voice, the person Serov cursed was of course Solzhenitsyn, the conscience of Russia. Traitor of the Soviets, the only credit, probably, is that this guy is a big Slavist.

Serov saw some of the first drafts reviewed by the Ministry of Culture today, which read about arrests, "Night arrests, indeed, are the norm in our country because it has some major advantages. Everyone in the house hears the first The knock on the door was terrifying. The arrestee was dragged out of the hot bed, and he was completely in a state of inability to do anything, half asleep, unconscious. During the night arrest, the action The men had an advantage in strength: they were a few armed men who came to deal with a man with no trousers on; while packing and searching, there would be no gathering of possible supporters of the victim at the door."

   Is there anything wrong with arresting at night? Of course, when arresting a suspect, you must choose the safest method, so who can choose the night and choose the day? Do you want to use the loudspeaker to inform you that we are going to arrest people and make you resist?

The loud sound of the door opening shocked Valia, who was braiding her daughter's hair, and turned around to see her husband with a dead face, holding a black briefcase in his hand, standing as if he had stepped on a ****. here.

   "It's alright, I ran into a little trouble." Sheloff changed his face instantly, and he got angry at his wife when he encountered a problem outside.

Walking to his wife's side, Sheloff leaned forward and glanced at him, flattering non-stop, "Look at how skillful my wife is, how beautiful the braid is, and of course it depends on whose daughter, my daughter is simply beautiful. It's a shame, it's a perfect inheritance of the advantages of my parents!" After being given a blank look by Valia, she added, "It's mainly the advantages of my mother..."

  Daughter's hair color is obviously inherited from Valya's blond hair, and Valya's traditional Ukrainian braids look very beautiful. This kind of braid is not known to Serov, and it will take at least half an hour to get it right. It is not something that can be done by simply pulling three strands of hair.

   "It's so beautiful!" Valya kissed her daughter after she finished, and then let her daughter go upstairs before sitting down and asking, "Isn't the French thing over, why are you so angry today? Are you fired?"

  Woman, your imagination is so rich! Mikoyan had a conversation with himself a week ago, apparently saying that he might be promoted, although he didn't know where to go. Serov said with a look of liver pain, "When the first secretary retires next month, I will kill that son of a **** Solzhenitsyn. I'm really mad at me."

"Oh?" After listening to her husband explain the matter clearly from the side, Valya tilted her head and thought for a while, "Well, if you say that, this old man should be killed, is he locked up in Gula? What kind of mental illness does Greg have, and he has to fight against your KGB? He does nothing for the country at all!"

"How do I know, this guy can't enjoy the peaceful life now, and he has to trouble us. Those two pills are coming, my stomach hurts..." Sherov gritted his teeth and signaled, and after a while he looked at Vali The pills that Ya took, said in a very tired voice, "My queen, you don't need to cooperate with me in the exercise, bring the stomach medicine!"

   "Oh!" Seeing the woman in a hurry, Sheloff was very happy. Sometimes this hairy girl really made him not know what to do.

  As August is approaching, the plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union is about to be held. The significance of this meeting is very important, because this is the last meeting chaired by Khrushchev. After the meeting, Khrushchev will announce his retirement. From the end of July, the security level in the whole of Moscow has been raised by several steps.

   Hundreds of Communist, Socialist and Workers’ Parties from dozens of countries have all received invitations from Moscow to attend the plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. While attending the meeting, they will also witness Khrushchev’s retirement. The streets and alleys of Moscow have become a sea of ​​red. The Soviet Union has been preparing for this meeting for a long time. The main streets were festooned with lanterns, the entire capital was swept spotlessly clean, and a plenary meeting of the Central Committee was held in August, Moscow's most comfortable season. The meeting has not yet started, and journalists from various countries have gathered in Moscow. This plenary meeting has attracted worldwide attention before it even started, and it is no less than the wave of protests in France in May. (To be continued~^~)
