Chapter 71 General Directorate of Border Defense
In the office of the chairman of the KGB headquarters at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, KGB Chairman Sheleping solemnly examined the report of the General Directorate of Military Administration.
"Yuri, this is not in line with our national policy!" Although the document did not explicitly state it, how could he not understand Serov's thoughts from the position of Sherepin?
Not! Serov hiccuped and shook his head, "Am I a little out of line with the national policy?" It's also in line with the lifestyle that our government has been advocating, right? Atheism, national equality! My adjustment is very much in line with the spirit of the central authorities, and the motherland has told me to give care to some fraternal nationalities and support them in education. Take care of the habits of ethnic minorities, too! But we're not raising uncles, are we? The care is mutual, shouldn't we also be taken care of on some issues? Soldiers can only obey the Soviets, not a certain religion! ”
"That being said, you also know that the first secretary and the former general secretary have different attitudes on this matter! Of course, if it is limited to the issue of the Arab garrison of the Red Army, I can agree with you to adjust the report! Xie Lepin stood up and said earnestly. The people in his mouth were naturally Khrushchev and Stalin, Khrushchev was born in Ukraine and had a very deep affection for Ukraine, which also affected the national policy of the Soviet Union. Stalin, on the other hand, was a Georgian, a Great Russian through and through, determined to turn all peoples into Soviets.
"Thank you, Chairman, isn't this just fine, a trivial matter!" Serov stood up and patted himself wildly, cheering for his adjustment plan, "Chairman, I don't mean to always have problems for you to solve, I'm worried that the future director will not dare to give such an order!" Therefore, if there are problems, it is better to solve them during my tenure, and do not leave problems for the successors. If you drag it off, a small problem may ferment into a big problem......"
If the Soviet Union had to draw a comparison of a multi-ethnic country with a vast land and resources, it would only be China. After all, the main ethnic group of the Soviet Union is only slightly more than half, and its ability to resist pressure is far less than that of the Han nationality, which is 90% of the people in the country.
In the investigation in this area before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians were the most dissatisfied group with the national policy, far more than other peoples in the Soviet Union, just think about it to know what the problem is, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Turkmens, a few million people of each ethnic group, more than 10 million peoples, who takes care of you every day?
Of course, the Soviet Union was not without advantages, for example, the Soviet Union had an organization like the KGB to eliminate the problem.
"I know you mean well, but your methods are too direct, I don't know how to cover it up! It's easy to target! "Xie Lepin is also very strange sometimes, his director is so young, why is he like a fugitive when he does things, there is a feeling of racing against fate, is there any danger behind him?
"Those wine bags and rice bags in the National Academy? I'm not afraid of them, I'm not afraid of anyone......" Serov looked disdainful, his hands were not idle, he took out two cigarettes from his pocket, one was stuffed directly into Shelepin's mouth, and said vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's just a group of ornaments, I don't believe that there is no culture except for religion!" Wearing a black robe looks cultured? It's okay to pull out an ordinary student from a national university, I'm going to see who has more knowledge! ”
"You little tiger came here to bite the pillow?" Shelepin directly shut up his director, no one can interfere in the work of the KGB, but he can't stand that someone is always looking for trouble, "Don't you have something, hurry up and do it!" I'm going to the Kremlin! I remember thinking about the general secretary's safety work these days......"
Serov laughed twice with a tacit look, and was directly kicked out of the office by Shelepin. Sherepin usually appears in only two places during the day, the first being the KGB headquarters, where he can be found from the Kremlin if there is no one.
Serov really had one more thing to do today, he had to meet with the head of the First General Directorate and the head of the Main Directorate of Border Guards, and to see that the time should be almost up, so he left the KGB headquarters according to Sherepin's words, "Is it Sunday today?" The Palace of Culture is so lively? Passing by the Palace of Culture directly from the KGB headquarters and the headquarters of the First Main Directorate, Serov saw through the car window that children with red scarves were all over the square, presumably an event organized by an elementary school.
"These kids are so cute, I want to have a kid too!" Even though Isemimoteni was driving, there was a longing in her voice, and the sight of these children playing stirred a string in her heart that had never been touched.
Serov was silent for a moment, he naturally understood the woman's extraneous voice, but not now, he didn't dare! It took a long time before he said, "Wait a few years, there will be a chance!" ”
Passing through the safest children's paradise in the world, you will reach the headquarters of the First General Directorate, the distance between the two headquarters can be walked to the distance, and today Serov came here mainly to meet with the other two directors of the General Directorate.
"Is Comrade Zeyanov here?" As soon as Serov arrived at the First Main Directorate, he asked directly, Lieutenant General Zeyanov, head of the Main Directorate of Border Guards of the KGB, commander of the Border Guards. He was the head of the 300,000 border guards under the KGB, and if the KGB had not had such a department, it would not have acquiesced to Serov's frequent trips abroad to rob money. More than half of the more than $2 billion the KGB receives from the government each year is eaten up by the border guards and the internal affairs forces, putting heavy economic pressure on other departments. The command of the internal affairs forces is vested in the presidium of the KGB, and the expenses are shared among the major directorates, so it seems that the general bureau of border defense has attracted more attention on the issue of funding.
"The headquarters of the General Directorate of Border Guards is too far away, but it should be about the same, you can rest first! Let's talk about the civil war in Iraq! Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky poured a glass of water and was taken directly by Serov, who had just finished eating and was a little thirsty in his mouth.
"You have not been in the country for half a year, I want to tell you about the situation, according to the report of the Middle East Division, the Qasim government in Iraq shot and suppressed the Shiite people who demanded democratic elections when you went to work in Berlin, that is, around March, the specific data has not been released, but our agents estimate the death toll at about 300! Then the Shiites were the first to quit, then the Sunnis who were threatened, and of course, the strongest at the moment was the military junta side of Qassem! Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky took a glass of water and introduced the current situation little by little.
"Director, Comrade Zeyanov has arrived!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky nodded to the secretary and said, "Let Comrade Zeyanov come over, this time we need to cooperate in the three bureaus!" ”
