Chapter 241: My Work
Ivan? Ivanov? Hristoforovich? Major General Baghramyan, the Taman Division, officially known as the Twentieth Guards Army, the XXIII Guards Tamanskaya Motorized Rifle Division.
Major General Baghramyan is thirty-eight years old, and he has no special impression of this eldest brother Serov, it is just a normal process of joining the army, he is the second son of Marshal Baghramyan, as for why Serov calls him eldest brother, it is because Marshal Baghramyan's wife, Aunt Tamara, had such a past before marrying the marshal.
At that time, Baghramyan was inclined to revolution, and the religious atmosphere in the Caucasus was very strong at that time, Tamara made it easy for a soldier to marry, but unfortunately the soldier died on the front line in the later war, after the establishment of the Soviets, Baghramyan heard about it, and rushed back to the village to find his beloved girl, although Tamara was pregnant at this time, but Baghramyan still married him. Soon after the marriage, Tamara gave birth to a son, whom he named Movshes, whom Baghramyan regarded as his own.
So when Serov was a child, the eldest brother in his impression was actually two people, the first was Aunt Tamara's original child Movshes, and the other was the current chief of staff of the Taman Division, Ivan? Ivanov? Hristoforovich? Major General Bagramian, Serov had to admire the original owner of this body, so good at things, no wonder Baghramyan was so good to him after his parents died in the Battle of Kiev.
The General Directorate of Military Administration screens the officers of the Red Army to ensure that all officers are as loyal and reliable as possible, this eldest brother has just been promoted to major general this year, which is also very related to the comments given by the General Directorate of Military Administration, as for the director of the General Directorate of Military Administration, whether he uses his power, Serov dares to guarantee that absolutely not, because he is the director. Can testify for yourself.
With one hand holding the file of the eldest brother and the other hand tapping rhythmically on his thigh, if the eldest brother has been serving around Moscow, it is easy to be targeted by people with a heart, which will not only affect the reputation of Marshal Bagramyan, but also someone may attack Serov under the pretext of attacking.
After a while, Serov, who had finished reading the file, let out a long breath. After pondering for a moment, he muttered to himself, "The capital target is too big, and he should be sent to the Western cluster of the GDR to be the commander of a tank division, and his ability is enough!" Moreover, even if it is disarmament, the USSR will not cut the Western cluster! ”
As for other conveniences, such as Serov's relationship with Stasi, he has been working on rebuilding the Intelligence Agency of the Nine Nations, and he doesn't want the secret service organizations to keep warm from each other and avoid being attacked by his own government? He raised Brezhnev's daughter, not also for the future, in case he never played with others. Hoping that Brezhnev would let himself go? As for Brezhnev's son, Serov had already picked someone from the Secret Service City and was ready to lurk around Brezhnev's son.
The powers of the KGB's Third Directorate are limited to the inspection of mid-level officers, and officers above the rank of major general are senior officers, and the Ministry of Defense will not let the General Directorate of Military Administration be in charge, but Serov can give advice on a suitable direction for the officer. Beckoning in, Isemotney sealed the file, and he continued to look through the others' files.
After all, the Ministry of Defense is also a powerful agency, and the Ministry of Defense is also a powerful agency. Serov had to perform to the maximum extent of the General Directorate of Military Administration, and it was necessary to establish a broad presence among the mid-ranking officers of the Red Army. It would be better if the officers could serve the KGB at the same time. Alexei once said that the dreaded thing about the KGB was that it could create a sense of separation between the Central Presidium and the local cadres, and that the KGB in the middle could cut off the Soviet leadership from the local cadres.
If the communication between the local cadres and the central government is blocked by the KGB, it means that the KGB has really developed to a frightening moment. He hoped that Serov would not think about it, and that even if he could, he would not show it. Once it was discovered that the KGB could hinder the contact between the central and grassroots cadres, Beria's fate was in sight, because only Beria could do this after Stalin's death, and Beria could not do it while Stalin was alive.
Maintain contact between the central and local cadres. It was necessary for the Presidium of the Central Committee to establish contact with the local cadres at any time, so that the KGB could see the truth of what they thought they were seeing, and Alexey's words were very reasonable. The KGB during the Semychasny period had such an ability, which was obviously related to Khrushchev's indulgent attitude, and it was precisely because of the KGB's counterattack that Brezhnev began to restrict the KGB again after coming to power.
As the first deputy chairman of the department that the first secretary personally set up to protect his own department, Serov did not seem to think about these things very well at this time. But as Khrushchev's reforms deepened more and more, he had to leave a way back for himself, and it was of course best to keep Khrushchev, but what if he couldn't?
"How did Shemichasny act like a traitor in the later stages? It's all stupid? "If Serov remembers correctly, he also planned the escape of the border people in northwestern China, like a traitor hidden in the Sherepin group.
In the afternoon, Serov went to the headquarters of the Second Main Directorate to revise the report, and on the issue of the status of the KGB's representative in the enterprises stationed there, he was mainly confronted with Kosygin, who was usually in charge of government work. In the afternoon, Serov accompanied his boss to the building of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, which was in the Kremlin in the broad sense, and it was very convenient for Khrushchev to come over.
This matter had already been passed on Khrushchev's side, so the KGB side mainly discussed the details with Kosygin, that is, who was in charge of the second secretary in charge of security and supervision.
"The second secretary of the enterprise, naturally, is directly responsible to Comrade Khrushchev, Comrade Kosygin. After all, they are the security cadres of the KGB, and it is always strange if they are managed by other departments! Our department, as well as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have always been responsible to the General Secretary, and this has been the case since the time of Comrade Stalin. Of course, this is not disrespectful to the work of the government. After all, the deception and concealment that began two years ago was already very serious, and Comrade First Secretary was very concerned about this matter...... "Considering Serepin's domineering, the negotiation with Kosygin was the first to be opened by Serov, and Serepin is the kind of person who is very comfortable with his subordinates, and after having a better goal, he usually does not care about this kind of boring question of who comes first and who comes later."
If it weren't for the fact that the Ryazan Oblast incident appeared in the USSR, Khrushchev would not have known when he would have remembered to create a supervisory body, and the KGB organs were directly responsible to the first secretary, which was traditional. Kosygin also did not insist on this matter, because this was something that Khrushchev was sure of. For example, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the KGB were first-level departments, while the Soviet Council of Ministers was similar to the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, which was a second-level ministry, and the KGB's merged Ministry of Internal Affairs was also a second-level ministry before the merger because of the repression during the Khrushchev era. After the merger, the KGB already had the style of the Belia era Super Ministry, but before the KGB showed its fangs, it was nominally no different from the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Of course, there are also first-level ministries under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, for example, Kosygin is now concurrently serving as the chairman of the huge State Planned Economy Committee, as Khrushchev's assistant, Kosygin has always worked in the economic department, and the Soviet government itself is relatively weak, so he did not argue with Shelepin on this issue. There was no contradiction between the opinions of the two sides during the whole process, which made Serov secretly relieved.
"Old secretary, what do you think of Kosygin?" After leaving the Kremlin, Serov, who left with Shelepin, asked if he wanted to know what Sherepin thought of these people.
"Technocrats, from an economic point of view, there is no one more suitable to manage the economy than Comrade Kosygin." Sherepin thought for a moment and said, "Kosygin looks very talkative, a little similar to Comrade Brezhnev......"
"......" is historically correct in his evaluation of Kosygin, but where did Brezhnev get his confidence in such an evaluation? What kind of boss can teach what kind of subordinates, no wonder Semychasny dared to send the first deputy chairman sent by Brezhnev to take charge of the security of Armenia, and in the end Brezhnev could not tolerate it.
This year's New Year, the Serov family did not stay at home, but went to Bagramyan's house for the New Year, and the family's visit made the Baghramyan couple very happy, and it happened that the two eldest brothers and one sister were also there, and Baglamyan's villa has not been so lively for a long time, "Yuri, Ekaterina, you guys haven't been here for a long time!" "Tamara Baglamiyan was very happy to see two people as guests.
"Yuri works in the KGB and always has friction with people in the Ministry of Defense, so he can't always come over, and he is also afraid that Uncle Bagramian will be affected!" Valya explained to her husband with a gentle smile.
"You have indeed gone too far with Georgi's work, he has retired, so don't send people to continue harassing him!" Georgy in Bagramian's mouth naturally refers to Zhukov, and after Zhukov went into the wilderness, only a few marshals still dared to associate with him regardless of pressure, and often went to Zhukov's house as guests, and only a few people such as Baghramyan, Vasilevsky and Rokossovsky took the risk to maintain a deep friendship with Zhukov.
"I know it's not fair to Marshal Zhukov, Uncle Baglamyan, but that's my job! I must obey the orders of the Central Committee," Serov sighed and looked at the family in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I can promise not to interfere with the marshal's private life, and I can only do this with my ability......"
Marshal Bagramyan sighed heavily, he and Zhukov were classmates, and the deep friendship between them is difficult for anyone to understand, but as Serov said, no one can help in this matter. (To be continued.) )
