Others didn't mention it, and Shelepin naturally didn't dare to mention it. This is the problem now, Khrushchev's power is so great that others dare not raise objections, and the only person in the Presidium of the Central Committee who dares to argue with Khrushchev face to face is Kozlov, and Kozlov happens to not pay attention to this issue, and others naturally have nothing to say. Sherepin has always been under Khrushchev's protection, and he will not argue with Khrushchev because of this issue, not to mention that this also involves the issue of anti-Stalin, and at the 22nd National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Sherepin also took the lead in sharply criticizing Stalin according to Khrushchev's ideas, although he did not necessarily want to do so in his heart.

The resolutions of the 22nd National Congress of the Communist Party of China were all made in the name of the General Assembly, and once someone objected to it, they would face a question, that is, why did the people at that time not oppose it? None of them can escape the involvement, and naturally they will not raise objections to the draft of the same resolution at the General Assembly, even if the majority of people are against it in their hearts.

Sherepin's worries made Serov understand one thing, that is, Khrushchev was really powerful, so powerful that others only dared to keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and now Sherepin actually has complaints in his heart, but he is far from opposing Khrushchev, which can be determined by Serov, who is around Sherepin's side to probe his psychological activities.

"The first secretary asked me to monitor the movements of the whole country, which may be related to the cadre rotation system." After thinking about it for a while, Serov told Sherepin all the words that Khrushchev had originally said on the train.

"It seems that the restrictions of the KGB are about to be opened again, and the first secretary has chosen to let the KGB protect the implementation of the cadre rotation system?" Sherepin chuckled, noncommittal to Khrushchev's arrangement, and had nothing to say about this conventional approach.

"I don't know!" How could I not know, Serov naturally knew that one department of the KGB would not be more powerful than the Ministry of Internal Affairs of that year, and Khrushchev's action to protect the rotation of cadres did not only involve one department of the KGB. According to history, more than a year later, Khrushchev would have appointed Shelepin chairman of the Party and State Supervision Commission. Integrate all law enforcement departments of the KGB, the prosecutor's office and the courts of the USSR,

Later, Serov left Shelepin's house, and after returning to Moscow, he still could not forget about the imminent Cuban missile crisis, and he had to control the situation there remotely, and the KGB did not lack talents in this area. Not to mention that the KGB also had an old friend of Castro in its hands, Nikolai? Sergeyevich? Leonov, who spoke Spanish, worked for the KGB's General Espionage Directorate in Mexico. Castro spent two years in prison for organizing an assault on the barracks, and after his release he spent a year in exile in Mexico. There Castro approached the Soviet embassy and asked for weapons to be supplied to the partisans fighting Batista. The request for weapons was refused, but Leonov, marveled at his superhuman leadership qualities in leading the guerrilla war, began to meet him and offer him enthusiastic moral support.

Leonov considered Castro's political ideas to be neither mature nor clear-cut, but noted his decisiveness in controlling the "26 July Movement" that he had initiated. and the audacity to be willing to put a layer of socialism on his future rule. Leonov also discovered that Castro's brother Raul and his right-hand man Che? Guevara considered himself a communist.

After Castro returned to Cuba, but Leonov's assessment of the prospects for organizing a guerrilla war did not cause a reaction from Moscow.

Even after Castro came to power, Moscow doubted his ability to resist American pressure. The Cuban People's Socialist Party also saw its alliance with the Soviet Union only as a tactical step, with Castro carrying out a purge in the party's old leadership to dismantle it, and then using the party to quickly take control of the situation throughout the country. Castro later asked Moscow for weapons in support, which he believed would help him achieve his dream of becoming the Bolivarian of Cuba. Castro's intelligence chief, Major Ramillo ******, had previously lived in Mexico and held secret talks with the Soviet ambassador and the KGB's spy bureau. After that, the KGB sent hundreds of Soviets to Cuba. It aims to rebuild Cuba's security intelligence system. Many of these men were descendants of Spanish Communists who fled Spain after the Civil War and settled in the Soviet Union.

Now Serov felt that it was time to correct this mistake. Because the Cuban Missile Crisis was imminent, Serov needed to sit alone in Latin America, and Leonov, who had a good personal relationship with Castro, was the most suitable candidate, and after consulting with Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, the head of the First General Directorate, Serov decided to make Leonov the deputy director of the Foreign Intelligence Department, mainly responsible for the work of the KGB intelligence network in Latin America.

This suggestion was endorsed by Semychasny. For the first socialist state in the Western Hemisphere, even the first secretary attached great importance to it, and as the chairman of the KGB, Semychasny was naturally more active, so with the support of the three KGB leaders, Leonov was promoted to deputy director of the Department of Foreign Intelligence. Immediately go to Havana to take up his post.

"We have reason to believe that our opponent's clumsiness and slowness in intelligence will not be our opponent in the end!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky gave such a comment when appointing Leonov.

"I can't take the situation in Cuba too seriously, and I'm going to run a counterintelligence campaign within us throughout this year." Serov took the situation in Cuba very seriously, even though Pinkovsky had already been killed by himself. But who knows if a second Pinkowski will appear? He was not so confident that only the KGB could develop spies, and the CIA was an idiot, and there was no one in the Soviet Union who could rebel. But to say that some individuals will be rebelled, that is a normal thing.

"There shouldn't be any loopholes in our work, right?" Semychasny was a little surprised by Serov's reaction.

"We can't pin our hopes on what we should have, the last thing we should believe in our work is personal feelings, I would rather hope that my subordinates are robots, so that it is easier to manage." For Semychasny's statement, Serov directly took it as a deaf ear, Peter Popov and Pinkovsky are not promising officers, the two became colonel-level officers at a young age, one is the general's son-in-law, and the other is the secretary of the KGB chairman, such people can be planned, what else can't happen?

In Serov's view, there is no one in the entire Soviet Union except himself who cannot defect, and even the general secretary of the Soviet Union in later generations is a traitor, and he still expects that a person can really resist temptation for the sake of the country? "Hope nothing happens, right? If there is, then those traitors should not regret it, the Americans can give them money, and I can kill them......"

"Okay, feel free to do so, by the way, we've already made an exchange deal with the Americans, and it's going to be done in Berlin on the 10th of next month, are you interested in making a trip? Yuri? "If it doesn't work, Comrade Itvasov or Sakhatowsky can do it for you." ”

"No, I'm going to take a trip. Express the importance we place on Colonel Abel. Serov took over the task directly, and he had the impression that this should be the first exchange of spies between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was also from this time that the Soviet Union began to rescue the arrested KGB personnel in the open, and who said that no country in the world recognized its spies as heroes? Those who say this simply do not take the USSR seriously.

Recently, Semychasny has been publishing articles anonymously from Pravda to wash the floor of the work of the USSR International Security Committee, and from this point of view, Semychasny is also completely worthy of his position and has done his best to whitewash the impression of the KGB. As for those articles, Serov has also read them, the writing, I don't comment on them......

First of all, a little routine investigation, Serov summoned the cadres of the organs of the Second Main Directorate, including Lieutenant General Serdyuko. The cadres who have been by his side for a long time will definitely not be traitors, and Serov can guarantee that he has buried two such people in a year. In the process of handling, the people of the General Administration of Domestic Espionage Prevention and Espionage were involved, and all of them were still deeply impressed.

"Comrades, sit!" Serov simply summoned these cadres to sit down, and said slowly, "As a member of the General Directorate of Domestic Espionage, I am very lucky to be able to work with my comrades to sniff out and eradicate traitors for the sake of the motherland!" ”

"We, too, sniff out and root out traitors." Everyone replied loudly.

Serov waved his hand coldly, he had heard the same slogan more than a thousand times in the past few years, but the Special Investigation Department was still tracking down the problem at any time, and the Operations Enforcement Department was still hunting down defectors all over the world. It can be seen that even if you put slogans on your lips every day, it is useless, it is better to carry out an inventory at any time.

The KGB's General Directorate of Internal Espionage has a right, that is, the Soviet government, and officers must apply to the General Directorate for Espionage Prevention and Espionage when they are not tasked with private travel abroad, and this scope is within the scope of all people below the rank of general, below the rank of member of the Central Committee, below the rank of deputy of the local state committee, including state-owned enterprises, and the departments of science and technology for national defense. Normally, no one will violate this provision, which is also a regular right of the KGB, and Serov started from this aspect, and asked the General Directorate of Internal Espionage Prevention to start an inventory of those who belonged to the KGB and the GRU who violated this provision, and if not, to start an inventory of military officers, and finally to investigate cadres.

"Do you understand what your responsibilities are? In this investigation, there were no exceptions, and the list of officers and cadres who had left the country without informing us of the situation was handed over to me within a week! Got it? Serov shouted.

"Understand, sniff out and root out the traitor!" The top leaders of more than a dozen departments of the entire domestic anti-espionage bureau all assured. (To be continued.) )
