Chapter 631: In-Person Interrogation
"Why don't we stop Semychasny from becoming Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers? What is the difference between this and their iron-fisted Shurick himself. "After the meeting on the discussion of the Semychasny question, Kirilenko asked Brezhnev very helplessly, and the other party was the first secretary.www.biquge.info
"You're too anxious, we've had enough." Brezhnev took a puff of cigarette, and his words already meant that he would accept it when he saw it, "They are also deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers, and Sherepin himself has more power to speak than Polyansky and Mazurov, because Sherepin himself is a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee." But Semychasny is only a member of the Central Committee, and the scope of his activities depends on the strength of Shelepin's support, and we ourselves have already received great benefits. So although it seems that Shelepin's power has increased, this is not the case. ”
Semychasny is a fellow countryman of Brezhnev, once upon a time he Brezhnev also wanted to win him over, but this guy's attitude is even more unacceptable than Serov, if it weren't for his suppression, Tsvigon and Zinev would have entered the command of the KGB earlier, and from that time on, Brezhnev no longer had hope for this fellow from Shelepin's side. Also a fellow countryman, Semychasny firmly followed Shelepin.
In fact, this meeting not only made adjustments to the work of Semychasny, but also appointed Aliyev, chairman of the KGB of Azerbaijan, as the second secretary of the Central Committee of Azerbaijan. The proposal was made by Serov, but the proposer did not attend the meeting and was working in the Lubyanka.
"Don't go to Yura recently, the smell of blood on his body should be the heaviest, the KGB is conducting an internal inventory, listen to Zvigon, our general political commissar is working tirelessly to summon every spy who has returned home, and at the same time start the investigation again, if something really goes wrong, according to his previous methods, this time there will definitely be no fewer deaths." Brezhnev reminded his comrades-in-arms that of course he was happy as the first secretary of Lubyanka's movements, and it was no wonder that Khrushchev could sit back and relax with such a fierce person as chairman of the KGB.
The atmosphere in Lubyanka is very depressed now, and after Zinev's investigation, it has been shown that there is nothing wrong with the KGB itself. But then the general investigation began, and Serov, who had more than 1,000 people on all the lists, took turns summoning them in his office every day, and at the same time began to conduct polygraph tests on suspicious people in various bureaus, and finally Serov, who did not believe in polygraph machines, began to summon people from above one by one, and even the cadres of branches and KGB party schools in various places were found and sieveed.
"I don't want to talk about the previous loopholes, after all, when people are negligent, let's arrest them according to the list. Find an opportunity to leak the Red Navy's exercises to the target, and when the time comes, everyone will be stolen, reporter, give me the American to catch it. If you don't make the enemy pay a little price, it is not good to always use the death penalty against the Soviets, after all, everyone is equal, and you can't go around his life just because it is the Americans who connect. First arrest more than a dozen people who have returned from abroad and have been rebelled, find out the reasons, and make them into teaching materials for major agents to learn, so that students can be educated in various places......" Serov, who was holding his head with one hand, was a little tired, but his tone still had an unquestionable attitude.
This attitude made Zinev a little flustered, and after his own investigation, the chairman of the KGB personally found the problem, which is not a disguised demonstration of his incompetence? But the other party was his immediate boss, so he didn't dare to say that, so he could only ask, "What is the solution?" ”
"Shoot them all, traitors have no value. Do you think I need these ordinary spies to be double spies? Serov slapped the table and said, "Once the traitor appears, the damage caused is irreparable." You have five days, and all the people on the list must be caught, and the three worst traitors must be caught. ”
The KGB has always believed that everyone has the potential to become a spy, so whoever enters the secret service school will be trained, but everyone also has the potential to be a traitor forever.
In the evening, I had dinner with Sherepin's friends, and naturally discussed some of the current political structures. At present, it is quite stable, and the first secretaries of Leningrad and Moscow, the two largest cities in the Soviet Union, are friends of Sherepin. Azerbaijan, the earliest oil town, was also under their influence, and Brezhnev's supporters were mainly in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, where he had previously held leadership.
"Brezhnev can't be allowed to have full support from Ukraine, so if Shreist's life is difficult, we should help him, since Podgorny was dismissed, in fact, his life has not been easy. If we help him twice when we make a decision, I believe we will reap his gratitude. Yegorechev said very solemnly.
Ukraine is the largest union republic of the USSR outside of Russia, and Russia itself has no party organization. At the same time as Semychasny became deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, the Russian government departments were also abolished. The leaders of the Soviet Union, while vigilant about making places bigger, generally did not forget to keep an eye on Russia.
Because of Khrushchev's connections, a huge political group was formed, of which Podgorny and Brezhnev were both important members, and after Podgorny's dismissal, Sereste was somewhat alone, and this was the time when he needed help.
Brezhnev believed that most of Sherepin's group were cadres with low levels of skill and were not to be worried. What a coincidence, Sherepin's friends also thought so, and Yegorechev thought that most of the people who followed Brezhnev were vegetative people who ate and waited for death, and both sides evaluated each other very averagely.
But no matter who evaluates it, there is one person who has always been highly evaluated, that is, the spokesman of the Dnipro gang in Ukraine, the chairman of the Council of Ministers of Ukraine Serbitsky, no one has ever said that this person is very incompetent.
Hearing Yegorechev's words, everyone nodded, Yegorechev actually came back for a long time to be Serepin's spokesman, and when Brezhnev acted against Sherepin in history, he first started with the dismissal of Yegorechev.
"If we can withstand the pressure of the other side, we can change everything, after all, time is in our hands." After staying here for a while, Serov took his leave, and did not forget to remind, "Under Zvigon and Zinev, there is an operational group dedicated to monitoring our movements, in fact, this is a violation of the KGB's code of conduct, I would like to remind us not to be fooled by superficial phenomena, not to think that the other side is not doing anything." ”
The waiting period for arrest lasted until a month, and after the renegades who had earlier recalled agents abroad were eliminated, it was finally a blessing or a curse to wait for the people who really mattered, and those who wanted to be agents because of their self-awareness. Calm the agent well, he will be responsive, proactive, and attentive. But once the appeasement begins, you can't stop: he'll want this and that, moody, and strong. Self-awareness is the most powerful driver of human beings.
The Lubyanka Inner Prison, since Serov took over, this prison has once again resumed its original role, used to hold all kinds of anti-Soviet elements, and there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and Serov sat on a chair in the interrogation room with a bloody wrench, and the bloody wrench was placed next to it, and opposite Serov was Dmitry, who was shackled and tied to the heater? Fedorovich? Polyakov, with the rank of Major General. Director of the Academy of Military and Diplomatic Sciences, a person who should not be a traitor.
"Comrade Polyakov, you sit in the front row at the annual security conference, and it is my dereliction of duty not to find you early." Behind Serov, the first deputy chairmen of the KGB, Bobkov, Zvigon, and Zinev all stood silently, and ten minutes ago they saw Serov shove a razor blade into the mouth of the American responder, and then fanned him to death with a live wrench, and now someone is cleaning the interrogation room. They had never seen such a terrible face, and after letting the tape seal their mouths, their chairman used a wrench to fan out the blades inside his mouths, and it was conceivable how the other party's faces would rot in such a situation.
"You use the counter-espionage methods we have taught you to use on your own comrades, you are humiliating your own department, you are actually trading on the public telephone closest to the KGB headquarters, let me think about it, do you think that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Nice reverse thinking. Serov asked lightly, "Why?" Do you know how we deal with traitors, Pinkowski they don't make you wary enough? ”
"My son was originally only treated by the United States, so why can't you let him be sent to the United States?" Major General Polyakov was clean, and the KGB interrogators did not torture him, so he was still in good spirits to question his immediate superiors.
Dmitry at the beginning? Polyakov's request to send his terminally ill son to the United States for a doctor's treatment was mercilessly rejected by Moscow. Losing his ideological base, he became hard-hearted and began to work for the CIA.
"What do you do, you should know very well, your family is not allowed to go abroad, and besides, your son was already terminally ill, and from the perspective of the country, there will be no special exception for you." Serov sighed and said, "People like you are the most unguardable, because you have become a traitor because of your likes and dislikes, and you don't want to think about your other children, how will your future wife live?" Are you going to let your wife kill herself to die with you? ”
"Chairman, Madame is waiting for you to come home from your office after work." The head of the General Affairs Department, Servanov, came in and whispered.
"Let Valya go back first, find two lesbians to see her off, and I'll wait before leaving." Serov commanded with his head tilted slightly. (To be continued.) )
