The neat military salute was accompanied by a solemn oath, and the whole auditorium set off a sea of blue, and the blue-brimmed hats on the heads of these people had never been so dazzling; Elderly party and government cadres may change color when they see this kind of scene.

Once upon a time, it was these blue hats that turned the entire Soviet Union upside down, and Semychasny duly tapped the table and ordered, "Pay attention to discipline, the car is already waiting outside the door, we can get out now." After the execution, the next question is being discussed. There is nothing more important to the KGB than the trial of traitors......"

"If there is, it's an even bigger traitor." Serov waved his hand, and there was a sound of benches returning to their places inside the auditorium, starting with the commanders of the major general directorates and the internal guard army in the first row, all the cadres present went out of the auditorium one by one, regardless of rank and position, and the trucks outside were already waiting, and on the street near Lubyanka Square, some people were stunned by the sight. Groups of KGB security cadres came out of it, boarded the cars one after another, and then disappeared.

After the execution was a public trial, Benikovsky would pay the price for his treason. Serov's original intention was to crush the traitor in a tank, but Semychasny had his own considerations, because all the anti-rebel cadres in the whole country were all gathered together, and this public trial must have had a great impact, so he stopped Serov's extreme suggestion. Shoot instead.

"However, this is not shocking, and we should use some drastic means to make everyone understand that treason will not end well." Serov said indifferently to Semychasny next to him.

"However, this did us little to change the image of the KGB. Jura, we must be responsible for the millions of members of the department! "After all, we are a country governed by the rule of law, and there are fewer public trials now. ”

It had to do with whether or not it was a state governed by the rule of law, and sometimes Serov wondered if he should keep some of the black prison style of the Gulag, which was also a good place for people like Benikovsky. Think about it or forget it. Although it is difficult to eradicate the black prison, he, as a law enforcer, should not use this means to deter traitors.

Finding a place to be shot was too small for the KGB to do. Normally, the KGB predecessors were reluctant to deal with the problem directly by shooting, because manpower was a rare asset. Therefore, unlike the institutions that specialize in killing, the KGB is more keen to establish a system of labor reform, so that these criminals can make up for their crimes in another way. But don't think that the KGB won't kill people, once the anti-anti-anti-corruption workers find that a prisoner's crime is no longer something that can be remedied by labor reform, and the backhand gun is also a very skillful thing.

The place of execution was not far away, and even Serov deliberately chose a position where people could see it. In a stadium in Moscow, the execution here can be seen by the national security cadres who came to Moscow this time, which can make the people feel immersed in the scene to the greatest extent and achieve the purpose of shock in their hearts.

After a while, a car escorted Bennikovsky over, and Bennikovsky at this time no longer had the calm and composure he used to have, nor did he have the spirit of directing the country in the GRU. He was almost dragged to the center of the field. It can be seen that no one can take death as an improper thing, and can only keep ignoring death with the ideals that they insist on in their hearts. And for people like Benikovsky, the ideal has long ceased to exist.

"Execution!" With a loud shout, the eight fighters who were in front of Benikovsky raised their guns at the same time, and a short burst of gunfire made a traitor disappear into the world, "Find a random place to throw the corpse out, by the way, ask the medical school first." There is no research on the need to first make use of waste in throwing ......," Serov waved his hand in disgust.

The impact of the Bennikovsky case on Serov was far from what it seemed. From Pyotr Popov to Pinkovsky to Benikovsky, it is not known if there are any guys who have not been found. Almost overnight, the Soviet intelligence system fell short of the prestige of World War II and the early years of the Cold War, and there was a succession of such defections among high-ranking intelligence cadres. Serov did not notice it at the beginning of Pyotr Popov, but by the time Pinkovsky had vaguely discovered this trend, that is, the decline of the intelligence system was related to ideological confusion. The most reactionary part of the interrogation record in the Benikovsky case has been burned by Serov, because the interrogation record is directed at the current public opinion environment in the Soviet Union.

In fact, it was the side effect of Khrushchev's anti-Stalin, which had always been in the hearts of the Soviet people that Stalin was overthrown, and the ideological confusion caused by it has spread to all aspects of society. Natural information systems are also included. After all, the KGB is also made up of people. Now Serov can understand why Brezhnev was able to successfully oust Khrushchev from power. It's a pity that he is not Brezhnev's henchman, but also a cadre among the biggest enemies, and Serov can't convince himself to accept the cadre tenure system, anything can be discussed, this matter is not good.

"How can we put an end to the intelligence services from apostated? Volodya? On the way back, Serov asked Semychasny with a confused expression, "There have been so many high-ranking intelligence cadres in recent years, and if we don't put an end to similar phenomena, maybe our work will be criticized!" ”

"At the moment, it seems that there is no way!" Semychasny said with a wry smile that he was not exactly a layman, as he was the second secretary in charge of security in Azerbaijan, but he had not been in the security services for so long like Serov. He has his own understanding of the intelligence security system, but he has not been able to find a way to put an end to this phenomenon.

Publicity? What are you kidding, the Soviet people almost have KGB posters in every house, and in terms of the work regulations in terms of security and the security awareness of the Soviet people, the Soviet Union is almost about to popularize security knowledge among the people. Now that this can be a problem, Shemychasny can't even think of in what direction to strengthen.

The security conference continued, and this time in addition to colleagues from Eastern Europe, the KGB welcomed a guest. Ceausescu, the No. 2 person in Romania, mentioned Ceausescu and Minister of the Interior Ilysscu this time, on the one hand, to visit Moss Pediatrics, and at the same time to participate in the Soviet Security Conference.

Ceausescu came to the USSR with his wife, so Serov met this woman, Elena? Ceausescu. "Where does she think she's been?" Regarding the appearance of this woman, Serov was more dissatisfied and said to Semychasny, "This woman is Ceausescu's weakness, and we can start from this woman in our work in Romania, and I can't think of anything else!" ”

Taking advantage of this intervening time, Serov and Semychasny exchanged views on the issue of Romania, and from the KGB investigation report, both of them were able to meet Elena on the report. Ceausescu's true side. There is a consensus that compared to Ceausescu himself, his wife Elena? Ceausescu was much easier to deal with.

After the two communicated, they welcomed Ceausescu and his wife on behalf of the KGB, and Serov invited them to attend, but the main issue was still with Romanian Minister of Internal Affairs Ilythescu, and the first and second leaders of the KGB decided to act separately on the issue of dealing with Romania.

"Moscow is very worried about the situation in Romania, and we want to make sure that there is some kind of gathering of anti-Soviet forces in Romania?" In front of Ilysescu, Serov asked straight to the point.

The relationship between the KGB and the intelligence agencies of Eastern European countries is not just based on the same position, and the ideal is great, but in order for these departments to follow the KGB together, Serov must mix some elements of interest in it. This will make the relationship stronger.

"General Serov, of course we are willing to obey the leadership of the USSR in the overall situation, but you also have to understand that we are Romanians after all, so there are some things that we still need to communicate." "As a sovereign nation, we want to be a little more autonomous, and that doesn't seem wrong!" ”

"But you should know that we are members of one camp, and all things cannot be solved by our own country alone, do you want to learn from de Gaulle?" Serov restrained his smile and said, "First of all, you can take back the hearts of the Romanian diaspora from the king, and then you can talk about independence." The enemy has not been completely destroyed, is it too early to talk about independence? ”

"We have no intention of learning from de Gaulle, General Serov, don't get me wrong!" Ilysescu hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's talk about cooperation, everyone is gay, and we can communicate if we have differences." "We have no intention of interfering in Romania's internal affairs, but we must talk openly and honestly, and that is, from the point of view of friends, we hope that Romania will not hold back the Soviet Union." It will not benefit you to make trouble for us in the name of independence, everyone will be fine if the USSR lives well! ”

Serov, who has the memory of later generations, doesn't he know what kind of virtue the future Romania will be? The population plummeted from nearly 24 million at the time of the dissolution to 21 million. Who believes how good a country with a country with a population of less than one-eighth of its population is talking about development? No wonder almost half of them regretted shooting Ceausescu.
