Chapter 48 Fairness and Equality
Now the population of the USSR should be said to be in the recovery stage, but this indicator of recovery is different, the population of Central Asia and the Caucasus is obviously growing faster than the population of the Slavic regions, and a unified multi-ethnic state should find a way to avoid this happening, which is good for all peoples.
Leaving the construction site of the Berlin Wall, Serov and Markus Wolf went to the headquarters of the Stasi. Serov, who survived the domestic pressure unharmed, has not been exposed to the media recently. Adhering to the thinking of sneaking in and shooting, Serov kept a low profile for a few days, anyway, West Berlin would be blocked after a while, and it was good that both sides were out of sight and out of mind.
The more I learned about the Stasi, the more the idea lingered that it seemed a little too condescending for such a high-quality organization to fight only in the civil war between the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany. As the only country in the socialist camp that does not lag the Soviet Union behind, the GDR should play a greater role in any field, and Serov is now out of control of other fields, but in the field of intelligence, he feels that the Stasi should build a global intelligence network like the KGB.
It was the only ally that could not lag behind in Europe, but it was still limiting the development of the GDR. I really wonder if the USSR was overconfident, or was it really afraid of the comeback of the Third Reich? Serov believes that the former speculation should be more reliable, after all, the overall development speed of the Soviet bloc can indeed give this kind of self-confidence as a basis, and the people of many countries really believe that the Soviet Union's development model can challenge the American model.
"Just like your Stasi, in fact, the intelligence agencies of all allied countries should join hands with our KGB to lay out the whole world, and our professional agencies are a waste of talent to focus their work on the country every day, and I want to talk to Comrade Elisescu about the opportunity to make a joint attempt to combine the forces of our countries in the joint combat agency!" This is not Serov's imagination, the mechanism of joint operations of intelligence within the Soviet bloc itself was proposed by him, and now the chairman of the joint operations body is the Minister of Internal Affairs of Romania, Elisscu.
"Compared to the KGB of the Soviet Union, the institutions of our countries are too weak, what can help the Soviet Union?" Everyone, no matter what kind of organization they are in, naturally hopes that this organization will become stronger and stronger, and Marcus Wolf is no exception.
"Not necessarily!" Serov lit a flue with a smile, "My biggest gain from coming to Berlin is not to prevent Stevenson from coming to the stage, nor to preside over the construction of the blockade of West Berlin. The biggest gain is here, in this building, in this Stasi headquarters, here let me put away the arrogance of being empty in the KGB, I used to think that no intelligence agency in this world is an opponent of the KGB, the CIA of the United States is not good, the British MI6 is not good, and the intelligence agencies of other countries are not worth mentioning, but the Stasi headquarters I changed this mind, I have carefully observed the operation of the Stasi for two months, to be honest, if our KGB is as big as the Stasi, Stasi did more than the KGB, and the takeaway from Stasi was the biggest takeaway from my trip to Berlin! ”
"Comrade Serov, you don't seem to be quite the same as the average Soviet!" Marcus Wolf stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything, he didn't want to talk about this kind of topic.
"I think that allies are all equal, and since we hold to one faith, there should be no distinction between big and small countries!" Serov seemed to see Markus Wolf's thoughts, and whether the other party believed it or not, he said to himself, "Since they are equal, there should be no idea of who is the boss and who listens to whom, and whoever is authoritative in their respective fields will listen to whom!" ”
Equal! This sentence hit the most vulnerable place in Markus Wolf's heart, and he stared at Serov to greet him with Serov's extremely calm expression, this man spoke sincerely.
I don't know why Markus Wolf could feel Serov's sincerity, and Markus Wolff, who claimed to be iron-willed, thought for the first time that there should be more people like Serov in the Soviet Union, so that there should be less friction between the GDR people and the Soviet garrison.
"If there is a soldier in the garrison who violates military discipline, the Stasi naturally has the right to arrest him, without considering the pressure from the Red Army! You can handle this matter yourself, and when the time comes, you will send a telegram to the General Directorate of Military Administration! The Soviet Red Army is a garrison, but not a colonial army, and the GDR naturally has the right to arrest the scum in the army, and I am in the General Administration of Military Administration, I think the ordinary Red Army generals dare not say anything, as long as the law is enforced fairly, you should not be afraid of the Red Army! Serov said in a very serious manner.
"And if now I give you the case of the garrison of the Soviet Red Army this year?" Marcus Wolfe thought tentatively.
"As long as it's true, I can now carry out an inventory of Western clusters......" Serov said directly without saying a word.
When he came to Germany to pay attention to the Berlin Wall, Serov almost forgot that he was the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration, and his job was to manage the problems of the Red Army, not to be a contract foreman.
"When the matter in Berlin is over, when I return to Moscow, I will propose to Chairman Sherepin that we unite the intelligence forces of fraternal countries to carry out our work, and that in September the intelligence agencies of all Warsaw Pact countries will meet in Bucharest, and that I will attend the meeting with some of the directors of the General Directorate, and I hope to meet Comrade Markus Wolff at that time!" Serov, who was standing outside the Stasi headquarters, had a hideous face, which was in stark contrast to the light wind just now.
The reason for Serov's anger is right under his nose, carried by two agents of the German Stasi, nearly 200 archival documents more than half a meter high, which contain records of the friction between the Western cluster and the people of the GDR in the past five months. Markus Wolf was really not polite at all, and directly handed over all the records and files to Serov to see what the head of the KGB's Main Directorate of Military Administration was going to do.
"I'll be there!" Markus Wolf's eyes kept looking at the thick file in the trunk.
"See you in a few days!" Serov said goodbye absentmindedly, and after getting into the car, he said gloomily, "What are you going to do when you call all the heads of the offices of the General Directorate of Military Administration of Western clusters to Berlin for a meeting?" Why didn't I receive a report when I was at home, even a ...... "Serov wants to give the GDR a fair, if it weren't for the long distance, he wanted to call the heads of the KGB of the four clusters."
