Serov was a little unsure of how he felt, it was certainly not good to be too tough as a defense minister, and Ustinov's death also vacated the place at the right time, after all, he was not Goto. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info left Ustinov at this time of completely different historical significance. However, Serov has attended too many funerals in recent years......

"Please don't be sad, people always have such a day, and Comrade Ustinov left without pain." Serov shook hands with Ustinov's family members one by one. Also including Ustinov's son, who is working on laser weapons.

He didn't lie, compared to Chernenko, who continued to stay here and was plagued by illness, Ustinov left without pain, and even Serov thought that Ustinov's fate had been changed.

Whenever there is speculation about fate, fate always comes and slaps the face at the right time. However, Serov, who was constantly slapped in the face, still did not have a sense of reverence for fate, it is very normal for a person to make a mistake in judgment, and besides, the general secretary is an atheist. I will not blame fate for the result of being slapped in the face.

In the evening Soviet evening news, the news of the death of Marshal of the Soviet Union, party activist, Ustinov, was reported. The Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union declared a three-day national holiday, and Ustinov's body was kept for three days for memorial purposes and was confirmed to be buried under the Kremlin wall.

Because Chernenko, chairman of the Supreme Soviet, was still in the hospital, Serov ordered Kuznetsov, first deputy chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and Ligachev, secretary of the Central Committee, to present the deceased Ustinov with the Order of Lenin in recognition of Marshal Ustinov's merits in military construction against the Soviet Union over the years. Together with this posthumous award, Ustinov received a total of twelve Lenin medals in his lifetime, setting a record.

During this period, there was a steady stream of admirers of Ustinov's coffin, mainly generals of the military who respected the Minister of Defense.

Three days later, members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR, with the exception of Chernenko, Serbitsky and Kunaev, were not present. All attended Ustinov's funeral, and the entire process was maintained by a continuous stream of servicemen to maintain order. At the same time as the coffin fell, it marked the end of an era for the Soviet Ministry of Defense.

Subsequently, Serov, in his capacity as chairman of the State Defense Committee, convened a military meeting, and at the same time, in his capacity as general secretary, issued an order to begin the restructuring of the Soviet Red Army. Including the appointment of a number of front-line commanders, the main ones are three.

"The appointment of First Deputy Minister Field Marshal Ogarkov as commander of the Western Cluster in Germany, and at the same time as First Deputy Minister of Defense, responsible for the confrontation at the front together with the People's Army of the GDR."

"The Chief of the General Staff of the Western Cluster, General Baghramyan, appointed commander of the Moscow Military District, concurrently serves as Deputy Minister of Defense."

"Marshal Akhromeyev, First Deputy Minister of Defense and Chief of the General Staff, has the most upright character and the most professional military style, and I believe that Marshal Akhromeyev is a real Communist Party member, so it was decided to appoint Marshal Akhromeyev as Minister of Defense and enter the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR."

After issuing three important orders in a row, Serov said to these very important generals of the Soviet military, "We need to think about not only the affairs of the Soviet armed forces, but also the unity of the Warsaw Pact and even all the people's armies." and coordinated operations in the future, in which the Warsaw Pact is still the foundation, and unity will give full play to the greatest combat effectiveness. ”

Not all issues could be solved by the Soviet Armed Forces, and since the seventies onwards this has been a consensus. The question of the coherence and unity of the Warsaw Pact as a whole has always been taken seriously by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR.

The official appointment was likewise quickly published by Komsomolskaya Pravda, and in the Kremlin, Serov introduced the new member to other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, "starting today, Marshal Akhromeyev represents the military in the highest decision-making of the country." ”

Some members of the committee were still a little surprised by the appearance of this new member, and it was not surprising that the new Minister of Defense had also entered the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, but they did not expect it to be him.

For Marshal Akhromeyev's appointment as Minister of Defense, Serov made a decision based on two historical considerations: First, Marshal Akhromeyev believed that after the occupation of Afghanistan, the Soviet army should have taken advantage of the victory and occupied the western part of Pakistan in one go, so that the Soviet Union could get access to the Indian Ocean, so that the logistics base of the later Afghan guerrillas could be eradicated.

The second thing is that in the late Soviet Union, Marshal Akhromeyev opposed Goto's position: "I openly state my position, I stand for the socialist way of life, and if anyone attempts to divide the country or change its social system by force or other unconstitutional acts, the president and the Soviets can decide to use force to ensure the unity of our Motherland and preserve its social system in accordance with the Constitution. "He closely linked the defense of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army with the defense of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. After the failure of the eight-member emergency committee, Marshal Akhromeyev committed suicide.

These two points are enough, and if there is anything unsatisfactory, it is that Marshal Akhromeyev did not use his prestige to call on the Soviet Red Army to resolutely support the State Emergency Committee.

For a country like the Soviet Union, loyalty was more important than anything else. The living conditions of the bigwigs in Europe and the United States are much better than those of the cadres in the Soviet Union, and the loyal Communist Party members who can do so should play a greater role.

The formal appointment will have to wait until the next national congress, but in fact, this does not delay anything, and the formal appointment is just a procedure at that time, but this kind of behavior of cutting in the middle of the queue is not justified after all. In the future, it will be put an end to it, and after the general secretary has achieved all his goals, relevant regulations will be introduced.

"My dear Celestial Princess, can't you be like a real prosecutor? Black stockings look good, but it's January, so if you don't want to get arthritis in your old age, you'd better listen to your dad. "Serov's family is going to Marshal Bagramyan's house for the Russian New Year, of course, not all, the general secretary's son's family has already looked for his father-in-law in Ukraine. Who stipulated that the general secretary could not take a vacation? Can't celebrate the New Year?

"But it's beautiful, isn't it Mom!" Yulia smiled and sought her mother's support.

"That's right!" Valya responded happily and directly blocked the general secretary's opinion, when did the man say it in this family? How can this be true, didn't you see that my son's family went to find his father-in-law?

Gaba, Gaba! From the back seat where the general secretary was riding, the sound of crackling finger bones clearly reached the ears of the two women.

"Brother, it's been a long time! Uncle's body is still very tough. Serov led his wife and daughter to greet each other very familiarly.

As for his group of sons, it is estimated that the spy school is having fun. What a good school, a group of female instructors and female trainees can do physiological counseling, and there are so many of them that all coming to Bagramyan's house will make it a little crowded here.

"Yura is here, it's been a long time." General Bagramian looks healthy, with the air of a soldier, and has not degenerated into that pot-bellied image. However, he is also old, and this time back in Moscow, General Bagramian estimated to himself that it should be the last stop of his military career.

Serov has always had no special feelings about the New Year, and in Azerbaijan's memory is to receive some benefits, and later he and Valya received benefits, followed by the birth of children. It's all my own family, and there's nothing to celebrate. There were several occasions when there was a New Year's significance, and it was at the house of Marshal Baghramyan.

"For a long time, I have always wanted to compete head-on with the American army, not a proxy war, but a real head-to-head battle!" Raising his head and drinking a glass of vodka, Serov looked at his family not far away with a hint of alcohol, tilted his head and said to General Bagramyan, who was already the commander of the Moscow Military District, "The opponent is the US army, and the opponent of the US army is the Soviet armed forces." ”

"It's a pity that we all have thousands of medium-range missiles pointed at each other in Europe, which is not easy to achieve." As a soldier, General Bagramian did not think about this kind of contest, and only the American army was the opponent of the Soviet army. The course of the war of all kinds almost smoked the head of the Soviet General Staff.

As soon as the Soviet army moved, thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at each other in Europe would be launched immediately. Of course, some people think that they may not fly directly to Forte in the Soviet Union, but even if these medium-range missiles explode on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR, they will turn the war into a nuclear war.

"So I'm ready to give Reagan some advantage from some of the battlefields at the right time, and destroy all of Europe's medium-range missiles on negotiating terms that are unfavorable to us. Finally......" Serov tilted his head and looked at General Baghramyan, the meaning of which was self-explanatory.

"After all the medium-range missiles are destroyed, only the tactical nuclear weapons that are not very powerful remain, and the strategic nuclear weapons of the United States and us, you want to attack Western Europe?" General Bagramian gasped and said, "Reagan just won us with his mouth, and you're ready to really start a war." Are you ready to let the Western cluster attack the Federal Republic of Germany with tactical nuclear weapons? ”

"Yes, if the strategic missiles of the US mainland want to be used, and it is not so easy to use medium-range missiles, it is not something that Reagan ordered, with our tank army, tactical nuclear weapons with a small yield can be completely resisted." Serov said silently, "Whether the other side dares to use nuclear weapons or not, the probability is 50 percent." Whether tactical nuclear weapons or strategic nuclear weapons are used is also a matter worth considering, and after the destruction of medium-range missiles, that is, when the war begins. ”
