Different from the last time he returned to China, the General Administration of Military Administration is now under the care of the first deputy director Roman, which is no different from Serov before he went abroad, it can be said that Roman, an experienced veteran agent, has dealt with a lot of problems that Serov feels very thorny, "We have selected the disarmament troops, and most of the troops are in the inland military district!" Naturally, this process was not easy, and there was a lot of pressure on the Ministry of Defense, but after Chairman Sherepin communicated with the first secretary, the Ministry of Defense still agreed to the disarmament force we chose! ”

Roman is one of the very few cadres in the old group of internal affairs cadres who like to enjoy life very much, and he is not willing to be in the office when talking about work, but chooses to take a walk or eat time, and achieve his goals more gently.

"What soldier wants to see his army smaller? However, it is a pity that the high-quality commanders of some units let them be transferred to work in the localities, and we should select among them, and make a list of these commanders to serve in the border guards and internal affairs forces, wouldn't it be better, so that the armed forces of the KGB can be more professional, and the real ones that should be eliminated should be eliminated, and the commanders with strong professionalism should be retained! Serov proposed.

Serov is a man with military rank, and he can understand very well the dissatisfaction of the veteran commander of the Ministry of Defense with Khrushchev's dismantling of the army, but he must supervise and follow the orders of the first secretary, and although disarmament is an order, he can flexibly turn around in the process, which is actually a good thing for the KGB.

Counting the number of disarmaments in this batch, the Soviet Union has already disarmed 2.3 million people, the huge Red Army has become less and less unattainable, and the actions that have been fighting against the Bonapartist elements all the time, I believe that Khrushchev believes that the Red Army will not produce new Marshal Zhukov who always stretches out his hand to interfere in government affairs.

The weaker and weaker Red Army was actually beneficial to the KGB, think about it if the Red Army was still so large in number. Even the KGB could not balance the Red Army, and the smaller the number of the Red Army, the more the KGB's counterbalance could be demonstrated. Comparison is valuable, and Khrushchev, after dismantling the KGB, found more and more that he was unruly to the Red Army. It is still necessary to use an institution like the KGB to be more handy.

"The internal affairs forces and border guards really need a group of professional middle-level officers, and we can eliminate the officers who are not qualified enough for us, so that we can eliminate those who should be eliminated and retain the officers who are really needed!" Roman nodded and agreed with Serov's judgment, eating the Red Army's retrenched officers would make those armed forces of the KGB more professional, "By the way, the autumn conscription has been completed, and this year we conducted a large-scale conscription in Central Asia. There are about 57,000 of them, most of whom will go to the internal affairs forces, and according to your idea, a large number of them will replace the advisory group in the Middle East, and the rest will be trained in the Azerbaijani training camp as Iraqi instructors! The specific information is in my office, do you want to see it? ”

"Director Roman, this is not necessary. I still work under your guidance! I have always admired your ability, but in fact, I think Chairman Sherepin is a little anxious to fully use cadres with high academic qualifications. Some veteran cadres' work experience cannot be replaced by a high degree of education, but I can't stop it! Serov said apologetically, "But I've been trying to find a place where you veteran anti-rebel workers have room to play, and I think that the Iraqi Communist Party is in great need of guidance from you cadres who understand the brutal nature of struggle......

The coup d'état that overthrew the Kingdom of Iraq was actually the result of the combined efforts of the United States and the Soviet Union. Naturally, the United States has been in contact with Qassem for a long time, but it did not expect that Kassim, a nationalist, would abolish the Baghdad Treaty used to blockade the Soviet Union as soon as he came to power, and withdraw from the organization. Historically, after Qassem withdrew from the Baghdad Pact, the United States still did not give up contact with Qassem, and finally took advantage of Qassem's misgivings about communism to eradicate the Iraqi Communist Party, which has nearly 300,000 members.

But Serov, who knows history, how could this kind of thing happen again, and immediately after Qasem came to power, he carried out a second round of operations, and launched the Iraqi Shiites to fire at Qasem, the reason is very simple, Qasem's officer class is more Sunni, although the wind did not blow away the flames a few times, but under the ignition of Serov, the arsonist, the incident of suppressing Shiites finally broke out, igniting the fuse of the Iraqi civil war.

Serov looked at history and found no Communist Party that could not be fought, especially in the early days of the Cold War, when the combat strength of the socialist camp was on the table, the party members sent to Azerbaijan by Iraq had the help of the General Directorate of Border Guards in military training, and he was not worried! However, political penetration still needs to be strengthened. A large number of cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Roman's time had a lot of experience in this area.

"Do you want to train political cadres in the armed forces of Iraq at the same time?" Roman immediately understood Serov, hoping that Roman would find a group of such cadres and re-emerge to train a group of political commissars and cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Iraqi Communist Party.

"Yes, the Iraqi Communist Party is the smallest force in the current situation in Iraq! My opinion and that of Chairman Sherepin is that we should not try to provoke other forces and stimulate the nerves of those forces! Iraq is a country with a strong religious atmosphere, and if the Iraqi Communist Party is too high-profile, it is easy to form a situation in which the Iraqi Communist Party will attack it en masse, and it will be easy to get the support of religious forces. Political workers are necessary, to ensure the loyalty of party members in order to have greater development, otherwise they will be directly destroyed, and the good wishes will not be implemented! Serov said solemnly.

Almost all communist parties have appeared, brutal self-purge! This is because since the beginning of the emergence of the Communist Party, the ideas of atheism, class struggle, and capitalists have stirred the nerves of many people, and the number of enemies of the Communist Party who adhere to these ideas is too numerous to count, and any carelessness will lead to the annihilation of the entire army. Therefore, for the early Communist Party, the elimination of the enemy was as important as the elimination of the traitor, and all the Communist Parties that had gone through the process of armed struggle were no exception.

The current Iraqi Communist Party is also in an early hostile environment, but at present, the big Iraqi forces are fighting themselves and no one takes them seriously, but as long as the Iraqi Communist Party grows to a certain extent, it will definitely attract a joint attack, first of all, the first is atheism, which makes the Shiite and Sunni factions unbearable. Socialism is also unacceptable to the bourgeoisie, and a decisive battle is inevitable and must now unify the understanding within the party.

"It's not difficult to have experienced political workers, I have many friends who are waiting for retirement in the GRU, they are all political cadres who have retired from the KGB, and they can fully play a warm-up!" This problem is really a problem in the current KGB, but there is no shortage of cadres in this area among the GRU, who gathered in the Roman group.

The smooth settlement of this matter made Serov sigh again how correct it was to ask Roman to go out of the mountain to preside over the work of the General Directorate of Military Administration. The cadres who were cleared out of the KGB by Sherepin may not have much academic qualifications, but their experience in the struggle between us and the enemy is far from being comparable with that of the Komsomol cadres who have been parachuted in large numbers now.

This is also the reason why Serov has been persuading Sherepin not to clean up the old-fashioned cadres of the KGB so quickly. Only by allowing the cadres of the Communist Youth League to learn from the experience of the struggle of the old-school cadres can the strength of the KGB be preserved to the greatest extent. Two years ago, the London intelligence network was terminated by MI6, and there is also a reason for this. In the end, it was the person in charge of London, who had already returned to China, who went back to reorganize the intelligence network.

"I will go abroad in a few days, and I still need the help of Director Roman in this regard!" Serov said with a little apology that the purpose was naturally the upcoming Bucharest conference, which was a good time to communicate with other fraternal countries, and in his plan, such a congress should be held as usual to increase communication within the socialist camp.

"Okay, don't worry, there will be no problem here at the General Bureau! I'll contact an old friend from the GRU right away! Roman paused and stretched his waist and said, "Old, I've been walking for so long today!" I'll go back first......"

Serov bowed his head slightly, and went directly to the First General Directorate to discuss with Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky what would happen after the congress.

"The French have arrived in Vienna and have agreed to negotiate in the GDR near the Austrian border, and it seems that the people in the French MI7 also know that there are too many spies in that place in Vienna and it is easy to leak information!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky said, "I just don't know how much power the people who come to negotiate with us have, and whether they can make decisions for de Gaulle!" ”

"Actually, we don't have the ability to make a decision, this time we and the French are both tempting! Maybe there won't be any agreement, but I don't care! Algeria is not from the USSR, and whoever is distressed knows it in their own hearts! Serov had a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and the two directors of the General Administration looked at each other and laughed......

On October 25, at the request of Romanian Minister of Internal Affairs Elisscu, the chairman of the KGB of the Soviet Union, Sherepin, with the head of the First General Directorate, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, and the director of the Third General Administration, Lieutenant General Serov, arrived in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, by train.
