Chapter 296: A Pluralistic Society
The Benikovsky case is not the result of this investigation, but the beginning. The KGB's General Directorate of Internal Defense and Espionage, which won the first battle, has fulfilled its basic mission of sniffing out and eradicating traitors, and the progress of the Benikovsky case will not stop this clearance operation, but will only make this storm more and more violent. This case is an opportunity for the KGB to show its face, and whether it is Semychasny or Serov, or other KGB intelligence chiefs, it is clear that this case is a golden opportunity to prove the value of the KGB's existence.
As a comprehensive department of foreign intelligence and domestic espionage, the safety of the whole Union is in itself a great irony to the KGB, if everything is on a good track, and people are full of hope to build communism, then what else does the KGB do? Immediately, Semychasny issued an order from the chairman of the KGB in Lubyanka, adding an executive order to Serov's liquidation operation, making him even more famous.
"The KGB, the GRU, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the hardest-hit areas, and the departments that are in constant contact with foreigners must not let go of a single department, and all those who are under suspicion will be arrested first." Semychasny gave the order to die in the presence of the heads of the major directorates.
"Everyone understands what the chairman meant, but of course, we still have to remember not to get hurt by mistake." Serov reminded in a pun that the reminder in this regard was well-intentioned, and that the General Directorate of Internal Espionage had a group of collaborators with the CIA. To put it simply, there is a group of people who sell disinformation, and these people play the role of misleading the opponents of the KGB. At the same time, it also makes a little money for the General Administration of Domestic Espionage, you must know that the General Administration of Domestic Espionage is not the General Administration of Foreign Intelligence, and it does not have so many channels to make money. Even if there were, it could not be done, and there must be no breeding ground for crime in the Soviet Union.
Serov is also afraid of hurting them by mistake, and every year he provides the CIA with some innocuous disinformation and eye-catching cadre lace news. It can also defraud a lot of money from the deep-pocketed Americans.
This trick was taught to Serov by the Stasi of the GDR, it turns out that intelligence can still play like this? In line with the attitude of learning from Germany's advanced experience, Serov began to promote it in the General Administration of Espionage Prevention in China. Of course, this matter must be carefully guarded, in order to prevent these people from becoming real double agents, there are other agencies of the General Administration behind these people to watch.
At least the historical Stasi has never played off, since the Stasi can fool the Americans for decades. There is no reason why the KGB, which is so much stronger than the Stasi, will fail, and even if it fails, what can it do, can the CIA still rush to the USSR to settle accounts with the KGB?
"Colonel Abel's exploits are an example for all our intelligence officers to learn from, and in order to rescue him back, I don't know how many departments were involved, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense are looking forward to Colonel Abel's return. And today we have finally succeeded, and the country will not give up even one who has contributed to the Motherland. "After meeting Colonel Abel's wife and daughter. On behalf of all the KGB anti-anti-terrorist workers, Serov expressed his gratitude to Colonel Abel for his work.
"My husband knows that the country will not give up on him, and he has so much faith in our homeland." At the mention of her husband, Mrs. Abel's eyes suddenly turned red, and even the daughter beside her was a little silent.
While Benikovsky's case was still being tried, Serov personally led a detachment of Interior Guards from Moscow to the GDR with Colonel Abel's family. Prior to this, he had already made a trip to the Kremlin, where he received a complete set of certificates and medals from Brezhnev, which were presented to Colonel Abel in exchange for his loyalty to his homeland while being trapped in the enemy camp.
"I've always had a deep affection for Berlin!" Serov, who was walking along the Berlin Wall, said. Inside the Berlin Wall, loudspeakers erected in the quarantine area are singing the Internationale. I believe that the people of West Berlin have completely achieved the same treatment as the people of East Berlin, and they grow up under the Internationale every day, and as for the protest letters of the occupation forces of the three countries that can be received almost every day, who would really take that kind of protest letter seriously?
"After all, it is a country and a nation, and we still can't watch the Germans in it become refugees, so we sell water to provide some basic protection for the people of West Berlin!" Marcus Wolfe's words are a little standing and talking without backache. There was no shortage of groundwater around Berlin itself, and to do so after the occupation forces of the three countries were striving for self-sufficiency and had finally built a groundwater circulation system was to nullify the efforts of the occupation forces of the three countries.
"I almost believed it!" Serov's reaction was noncommittal, proceeding from the point of view of socialism. It would be completely immoral to do so, and it would not be unforgivable, given that the people within the walls are in the capitalist camp.
The foundation of the GDR was entirely based on the approval of the Soviet Union, not to mention that it was no longer the time for World War II, and to be honest, even if the two Germanys were reunited, the Soviet Union would not have the slightest fear. From a one-on-one point of view, there is no country in Europe that can compete with the Soviet Union.
From the cooperation between the KGB and the Stasi, Serov has always shown the greatest sincerity on behalf of the KGB, and he has done more than all his predecessors in supporting the intelligence agencies of the allies. Oh, forgot, not as good as Beria. Beria also dared to promote the merger of Germany and Germany to adopt the capitalist system, and this kind of active death-seeking behavior provided a negative teaching material for Serov, who came after him, and when the first secretary shouted for merger, as a subordinate, he did not mind shouting along with it, but if the first secretary did not shout, he could not shout indiscriminately.
After Ulbricht came to power, even the GDR itself stopped openly calling for reunification, but began to shout about economic construction, and in this case, of course, the Soviet Union could not completely ignore the feelings of the GDR leadership. Therefore, the chances of reunification between the two Germanys are getting smaller and smaller, and there is only one path to reunification, and that is the result of the Cold War. Either the Federal Republic of Germany followed the United States in annexing the GDR, or the GDR annexed the Federal Republic of Germany with the support of the Soviet Union, and from his own standpoint, Serov certainly hoped that it would be the latter, and that Marx was not also a German......
"By the way, Marcus, how is the file you wrote?" Serov suddenly remembered this question, that is, the Katyn file that Markus Wolf had forged, which was actually a matter of cooperation between the KGB and the Stasi at the same time. Without the assistance of the KGB, it would not have been possible for the Stasi to complete it independently, after all, this was done by the KGB, and many of the original sources are known only to people inside the KGB.
"The workload is relatively large, and the number of people used cannot be too much, we need to find a suitable troop number!" Marcus Wolf said with some embarrassment. It's not that he didn't want to do this, the legal justice of the GDR was the anti-Nazi German Communist Party before the war, and there was no psychological burden on these people who poured dirty water on the Third Reich.
"The Federal Republic of Germany signed a labour agreement with Turkey last year and is ready to start bringing in Turkish immigrants to reduce labour costs, these capitalist countries are really short-sighted, and I can already imagine what the Federal Republic of Germany will look like in 30 years' time. That's right, it's called a pluralistic society! Serov did not hesitate to criticize the policy of the Federal Republic of Germany, for European countries have started a pluralism policy, Serov is in favor of raising his hands, this is you yourself gave the KGB the opportunity to play, for which the KGB Foreign Intelligence Directorate specially recruited a group of Volga Germans, in Turkey Forte to publicize the labor agreement, and now the whole of Turkey knows that Germany is ready to open up immigrants to develop the economy.
"They are so short-sighted, how can they do that? So many people who fled from the GDR into their hands, already a considerable labor force, turned their minds to foreigners. Markus Wolf shook his head bitterly and asked, "With your KGB activities, I believe there must be a lot of Turks going to the Federal Republic of Germany!" ”
"Isn't it because we built the Berlin Wall that no one has fled from Berlin to the Federal Republic of Germany? The road was blocked, and it was impossible for the Federal Republic of Germany to draw blood from the GDR, so in order to make up for the shortage of their own labour, they chose this method, which had obvious consequences in the long run. As for how many people, you ask? "The number is probably around a million," Serov estimated, seemingly unintentionally, "and even more if the economic development of the Federal Republic continues......
Now Serov has just understood the meaning of the Berlin Wall, and when you look at it together with this labor agreement, you can understand what the role of the Berlin Wall is, and the construction of the Berlin Wall and the signing of the German-Turkish labor agreement in history took one year, which means that after the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Federal Republic of Germany was forced to stop its own shameless bloodsucking, and in order to reduce production costs, another group of people had to do that kind of low-level work, so the labor agreement was signed.
This is a good thing, in order to help Europeans build their own pluralistic society, as the conscience organ of the advanced countries, the KGB's responsibility in this regard is unshirkable, Serov not only has to guide his own department but also pull the Stasi to do it together, he is not afraid that the Germans will bring in foreign workers, but he is afraid that Germany will bring in fewer foreign workers.
"Time is on our side, the introduction of a million-level population, I don't know if there will be a follow-up, when the time comes, we will see what kind of pluralistic society on the other side can develop, fifty years later, maybe the whole of Europe will welcome the Soviet Red Army to liberate them! Haha......" Serov patted his colleague on the shoulder and laughed presumptuously.
As long as the Soviet Union does not disintegrate and the socialist camp does not collapse, the countries of Western Europe will not be able to suck blood from Eastern Europe, and the sorrow of the Soviet Union lies in the fact that it has exhausted its opponents to the last breath, but they have exhausted all their strength and cannot go up to make up for it.
