"In the Cheka era we dealt with armed bandits, during the Great Patriotic War we dealt with all kinds of anti-Soviet elements, and the so-called gangsters of this era were nothing compared to the previous enemies. If we even deal with the so-called gangsters, we can only say that we are ashamed of the definition of anti-rebel workers by our predecessors! Serov's voice grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the cinema.

The whole cinema was silent, everyone was listening to the position next to the head of the KGB, Shelepin, on the rostrum, and they did not despise this boss because of his age, and all kinds of gossip about this young boss continued within the KGB.

The three-kilogram KGB security and internal affairs cadres who held their breath listened carefully to Serov's speech, unlike Shelepin, Serov, the first deputy chairman, is often not in Moscow, and prefers to come out to carry out tasks, although he usually goes abroad to carry out tasks, but if it happens to be at home, it will not be easy to deal with it if he catches the mistake in the future.

This is not to say that they are afraid of Serov, after all, the fact that the KGB can have such great authority and treatment today has a great deal to do with the first deputy chairman of the KGB who rose from the Caucasus. Since then, the entire KGB has entered a golden age of development, involving more and more industries, receiving better and better treatment, and finally this year the Ministry of Internal Affairs was re-merged.

In the eyes of many KGB security cadres, Sherepin was just a person who parachuted here on orders from the central authorities, and they obeyed Sherepin's orders because Sherepin was the chairman of the KGB. Serov, on the other hand, worked from the KGB very early, and for them, Sherepin was an outsider, and Serov was his own.

No one would dislike the power of their department. What's more, they are cadres who have always been involved in national security, not to mention that the KGB's treatment has been improving, and no one will be dissatisfied with Serov after all these considerations.

"With regard to this work, I consulted with our Chairman Sherepin and decided to carry out a one-month decision to crack down on crime from December 7 to January 7 every year, before the traditional New Year. Once this decree is adopted, it will be extended throughout the country as an executive clause to crack down on the activities of criminals in accordance with the law, and it will be implemented throughout the Union from this year, not this year, but every year......" Serov especially accentuated his tone in the latter paragraph, "Our society does not need scum who endanger the people, comrades understand their duties, and we must safeguard the interests of the Soviet as a whole, in the process. It's normal that there will inevitably be some misunderstandings. Others misunderstand us, and we don't care. But you yourself can't lose faith, when you scrub the dirt for the motherland, it will inevitably splash on yourself, it doesn't matter, who made us do this kind of work? It doesn't matter if our Motherland can move forward, all the security and internal affairs cadres you remember. We are in the darkness so that the whole Union will never be in the dark again. ”

"Not bad. Comrade Serov's words are what I want to say: the people need a safe living environment, and this environment is guaranteed by the National Directorate of Internal Affairs, as well as the NKVD Committee. In this regard, the NKVD as a whole has a great responsibility, and a good social environment needs to be maintained by our All-Union internal affairs cadres! "Shelepin spoke in support of his subordinates." As Comrade Serov said, we are in the dark so that the whole Union will never be in darkness again, and our work may not be understood by everyone, but we must not lose confidence. If there is a problem with our law enforcement, it will affect the social ...... of the whole Union"

Later, another KGB first deputy chairman, Itvasov, endorsed the views of Sherepin and Serov and supplemented some of the issues, and the first day of the congress was devoted to the discussion of the original powers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, mainly on the issue of public order.

In conclusion, Sherepin concluded, "We must crack down all kinds of serious criminal offenses at present, and we must be severe and fast in sentencing and enforcement; Striking hard is to strengthen the party's **** strength, and this is ****. ”

"It is inevitable that certain scumbags will be crushed by us if they have to adopt an attitude of confrontation with the Soviets." Serov knocked on the table twice, and his voice was transmitted through the microphone to the entire cinema, "For criminals who have repeatedly refused to change their ways, the General Administration of Internal Affairs of all localities must take countermeasures in strict accordance with the sentencing of the law, and there should be no situation in which the crackdown is too widespread." We are dealing with criminals, not the people! Throughout this process, the KGB security cadres will monitor your work to prevent politicization from affecting people's lives......"

After the speeches of Shelepin, Serov and Itvasov, the presidium of the KGB unanimously adopted a decision to take action to crack down on criminal offenses one month before the New Year each year......

"Distinguished comrades of the Presidium, I would like to know what to do if there is a foreign-related case? You must know that Moscow universities accept students from allied countries all over the world, and you must know that some of the local scenarios are more complicated! "The speaker is the head of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs in Moscow, Moscow, as the capital of the Soviet Union, which accepts the largest number of foreign students, of course, does not usually have accidents, but there are mixed situations in some countries.

Serov looked at the face of the Moscow General Directorate of Internal Affairs, and emphasized coldly, "If you commit a crime in the Soviet Union, you will solve it in accordance with the laws of the country, what are you afraid of?" We are supporting the construction of the third world, not inviting a group of masters to raise them. If there is pressure on the complexity of the case, tell me directly, and if the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs cannot solve it, then the KGB will solve it......"

Then a more acute question appeared, hearing this question, Serov could only comment coldly, "The law on the protection of minors, the standard for adults and minors should be determined according to the level of education, of course, before that, we still have to judge according to the provisions of the law, but some cases of great crimes and extremely bad impacts, I personally think that we should take into account the aspects of social evaluation before deciding, if a law creates a loophole to avoid some people's crimes, it is better not to have it!" ”

Serov's statement was quite controversial, so after that, Shelepin immediately added that a comprehensive judgment should be made taking into account a variety of factors, and the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs can of course arrest all criminals, but how to punish is a matter for the court. To be fair, this is a bit of a shift to the courts, but it's a good outcome for the Directorate of Internal Affairs.

In the Soviet Union, the question of how to define adulthood and minors was not only a legal issue, but also a political one. In Stalin's era, people over the age of 12 were treated as adults, and the so-called protection of minors refers to the protection of children, and children are not counted after the age of 12.

Finally, on the first day of the National Congress of Security and Internal Affairs Cadres, a decision was adopted to severely crack down on criminal offenses in Soviet society, and Serov, who was stopped by Sherepin, was a little unsatisfied, and finally set the age of 14 for minors in the Soviet Union 20 years later, and crimes committed over the age of 14 were treated as adults, and there was no longer a lenient punishment. According to this standard, even his past life cannot escape the cleaning up of the law.

The next day, the main issues were concentrated in the field of national security, involving the rules and regulations for espionage and counter-espionage, the protection of national defense and scientific research units, how to curb the activities of counter-revolutionaries, and how to restrict the investigation of religious forces, and other privileges within the scope of KGB work.

The work of the General Directorate of Foreign Intelligence, the General Directorate of Internal Espionage, the General Administration of Military Administration, the General Administration of Communications, the General Directorate of Secret Police, the General Directorate of National Defense, the General Administration of Surveillance and Investigation, and the General Administration of Communications Equipment were discussed, and the responsibilities of the KGB in national security work were clarified. The directors of the major bureaus also took turns to speak, talking about some problems in their work, and then held a plenary discussion to discuss how to solve the problems.

"We must make clear the severity of our work, especially the work of foreign intelligence and domestic anti-espionage, which is a key link in our national security work, and I hope that comrades will be more vigilant!" Shelepin gave instructions to the representatives of all state security cadres.

Serov slowly and rhythmically tapped the table, the muffled sound was transmitted through the microphone to the audience, and then he spoke, "Our work is dangerous and opportunity, all the cadres and even all the members are like Comrade Sorge to learn, at some point we alone will have to resist an army, we have to collect everything that is beneficial to the Soviet Union, even if it is a screw, as long as it is more durable than our Soviet Union, we must understand why this is so, as anti-anti-operative workers our mission has never changed... …”

"As anti-rebel workers," all 3,000 national security and internal affairs cadres stood up and shouted, "only sniff out and eradicate traitors!" ”

"That's right, sniff out and eradicate the traitors, the enemies of the Soviets are our enemies, we have to remove the stumbling blocks of communism with our own hands, the earth is hot and cold unevenly, and the rich and poor in the world are not equal. Take the initiative and defeat all opponents, Ula ......" While speaking, Serov stood up and saluted all three thousand cadres. (To be continued.) )
