"Thank you!" Serov said in a respectful tone, without the person in front of him, he might still be in Azerbaijan, and he would not be able to reach the center of power in the Soviet Union at all, and the best result may be similar to Aliyev. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Anyway, Xie Lepin has solved so many difficulties for himself, and he respects this person both in public and private.

If there really is any socialist power in this world, at least in terms of Serov's two lifetimes, it is the Soviet Union. When the era of high economic growth in the Soviet economy was gone. But if you look at the U.S. economy at this time, you will find that the U.S. is struggling with one economic crisis after another. While people lament that the Soviet Union had to sell gold from its treasury to import grain, it is impossible not to admit that the Bretton Woods system has collapsed and the United States has become a permanent trade deficit country.

In this case, no one can say that the Soviet Union did not let the United States treat it with all its might. By the time we entered the eighties, the Soviet Union had become more or less on par with the United States in all respects. This is not just a time to consider some basic issues. One could even begin to think about whether it would be possible to defeat the American value system. Even in the mid-to-early eighties, the Soviet Union experienced unsatisfactory growth. But in contrast to the United States, which is mired in stagflation at this time, both the American people and the U.S. government have to watch themselves shrink in double-digit inflation without any improvement in economic conditions.

Even Reagan, who believed that the United States would inevitably defeat the Soviet Union, never dared to imagine that he would be able to see with his own eyes the day when the Soviet Union was defeated, and the real collapse of the Soviet Union began in 1986. In other words, a year after Gotu came to power.

On the second day of the funeral, Andropov was put in the position of general secretary, and after the funeral on the 15th, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and the chairman of the State Defense Committee were replaced.

"The Chinese side means to repair relations to a certain extent, and wants us to reduce the number of troops stationed on the border." General Secretary Andropov sat in the position of Brezhnev, and at the same time Pavlov, the head of the General Office of the Central Committee, was dismissed.

"No, there are very few troops on the eastern border!" The most hated thing for any defense minister is the issue of disarmament, and this has nothing to do with the fact that Ustinov is a military engineer, he is not a front-line commander, and he still hates disarmament.

"Comrade Ustinov is right, compared to the length of the border, 700,000 soldiers are already very small." Serov immediately agreed with Ustinov's opinion, disarmament? Whom to cut? No matter how much it is cut, the KGB border guards will be affected, and who wants to see fewer and fewer of their subordinates? He couldn't do it anyway.

Don't say that now, even in the period of the break between China and the Soviet Union in history, the million-strong army of the Soviet Union on the border is false propaganda. One and a half thousand troops may seem like a lot, but considering the more than 10,000-kilometer border between the two countries, that's not much at all. What's more, the million-strong army includes the troops of Turkestan and the Central Asian Military District, which are against Iran and Afghanistan, and the troops of these two military regions are detained, and the Soviet Union has fewer soldiers on the territory of Asia.

"Let's solve this problem slowly!" Andropov did not stand his own way, and this matter was not very important in all the things he faced. He has just taken over as general secretary and has to face many things. External things are never as important as internal things, that's a big truth.

After the meeting, Andropov called Serov to his office, sighed and said, "Now I feel that I can't finish what I am facing for decades, first of all, I think that we should not rectify discipline, there are absenteeism and tardiness in all major factories, which is really worrying." ”

"Leave it to me!" Serov thought for a moment and said, "How does the general secretary feel about the introduction of a management regulation on sabotage, so that the anti-anti-anti-anti-workers and the internal police across the country can rectify the discipline of the factories, and at the same time the monitoring system will be stationed in all factories to ensure that all enterprises are under the sight of the government?" ”

On the question of the lofty morality of the people of the socialist countries, he, a big spy, of course, believes it. But the premise is that when it was first founded, under a system that has been running for decades, as it is now, it does not believe in it at all. He still believes in the power of technology, such as a comprehensive surveillance system.

"Well, it's time to make some moves to reverse the current social climate." Andropov nodded.

"Well, after so many years of habit, it is not possible to be a little ruthless!" Serov very much agreed with Andropov's idea, is it difficult to find a policeman, isn't the secret police a policeman?

Serov was not the only one who remained in the shadow of Brezhnev, and the same was true of Andropov, who succeeded in coming to power, all because of the Hungarian events at the beginning. When Serov was sent on a mission to Hungary, Andropov was the Soviet ambassador to Hungary. So when Brezhnev cleaned up Shelepin, who opposed privilege, and Kosygin, who reformed the economy, Andropov was dissatisfied, but he did not say it.

Where Andropov approves of Brezhnev, it is Brezhnev's foreign policy, not domestic finger-pointing. It's just that he knows how to protect himself, so when Brezhnev dealt with Sherepin and Kosygin, he not only was not dissatisfied, but kept his distance from Sherepin and Kosygin.

Andropov nodded, Serov specialized in rectifying social order, and he himself was in charge of another aspect, making some adjustments to the cadre class in the Soviet Union, and this group of old men had almost not moved for almost 20 years. It's time to get out of the way.

A few days later, the KGB headquarters in Lubyanka Square ushered in an old man in an old military uniform, this old man was tall, although he was a little thin, but his sharp eyes made people dare not look directly. Tsvigon and Ferdorchuk were taken aback at the sight of this man, and both of them knew the man's style best.

The third chairman of the KGB, Semychasny! Serov ignored the shock of the others, and said to himself, "Regarding the rectification of social order and the issue of sabotage, I have drawn up anti-slacking work regulations. However, the comrades are very busy, so I invited an old comrade to take charge of this matter, and Comrade Semychasny is still energetic after his retirement, and it is a good thing to ask him to help preside over the anti-sabotage work. ”

"I am very happy that I have the opportunity to cooperate with my comrades!" With a meaningful smile, Semychasny looked at the familiar companions, who had been herded to work in remote mountainous areas when he was chairman of the KGB.

"Then the matter is settled! Senior General Semychasny will be the general adviser of this anti-sabotage ordinance and will supervise the work! "Who are these Dnipro gangsters afraid of? Serov is definitely among them, but he is not the one who is most afraid. Rather, his predecessor, General Semychasny.

One thing is interesting, Tsvigon, Zinev, Ferdorchuk and Chebrikov. In addition to Zvigon, the other three are fellow villagers of the former KGB Chairman Semychasny, from the Dnipropetrovsk region. And Semychasny is a fellow countryman with another comrade, and that is their general secretary, Leonid Brezhnev.

But Semychasny was not interested in Brezhnev and did not take enough care of these fellow villagers. On the contrary, relations with Sherepin have always been very good, and since Brezhnev forced him to retire, he has looked down on these fellow countrymen. So Serov called him back.

Five days after Brezhnev's death, Serov officially announced that the anti-sabotage regulations came into force, and that the KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could arrest workers who were idle during working hours, and at the same time, all factories were fully equipped with monitoring and supervision, and the second secretary of each enterprise supervised it.
