Serov's expectation is that he wants his boss to come to a solid position, and there are not many positions in the Soviet Union that can use his position to protect himself, General Secretary, Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, but there is not a single position called Chairman of the Party and State Supervision Commission, this is the difficulty, and there are only a few positions.

But if Khrushchev had stayed a few more years, maybe things would have taken a turn for the better. Even Sherepin, including himself, may feel that the accumulation of strength is enough, and this is indeed the case at the level of a member of the Central Committee. But at the highest level, there is no fundamental change in the situation of these young cadres who are alone and lonely, and coupled with Xie Lepin's character of looking for nothing to do, the road ahead is even more bumpy. Age is sometimes really a big problem, whether you admit it or not, the problem is there.

After Khrushchev understood that Sherepin and Shemychasny had turned their guns, he didn't want to believe it was true at first, he was obviously so good to these people, and Sherepin had no reason to betray him at all.

"I think the old secretary and Semychasny are a little complacent now, in fact, it is not a good thing for us, it is not a good thing for us to make too many enemies at a young age, we must pay attention to Comrade Brezhnev, and we must respect it, and we may suffer if we don't take the second secretary seriously." Serov said this when he came out of Sherepin's house and sent Yegorechev home.

"Brezhnev is still very talkative, and we have no conflict, are you making a fuss?" Although Yegorechev noticed this problem slightly, he felt that things should not be so bad.

"You also know the character of the old secretary, although there are many people who think that he is noble and innocent, but the same old secretary's too strong personality makes people feel that they are not easy to get along with, maybe the dissatisfaction is real, but I am afraid that the first secretary will not dare to say it now, it does not mean that they will tolerate us forever." If he didn't feel that he was in danger, Serov wouldn't have to pretend to be a good gentleman, Brezhnev's style had something to do with his character, and he himself was completely pretending.

"Makes sense, but ......," said Egorechev after a few seconds, "but there is no way to ......"

Let a high-ranking cadre who is already in his forties change his personality, this difficulty Yegorychev did not want to think about. Unless Sherepin has amnesia, it is simply impossible. Who could have allowed Shelepin to control his temper, maybe Stalin could, but he was no longer there.

"If Khrushchev was still alive, Shelepin would have been a full member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, so that his ability to bear risks would have been much greater!" Sending Yegorechev home, Serov drove the car slowly, his driving ability was limited to this, or why should he have a driver, the tank was very skillful, it was because the tank was not afraid of collisions.

Serov does not use the bbyanka when he is fine, showing that he is not a particularly authoritarian person, at least on the surface, and that he has recently been on his own food trip, taking his mouth to other people's homes, including Ustinov, Andropov, Fortseva, and having just gone to Brezhnev's house.

Brezhnev welcomed Serov's arrival, and in order to bring the two sides closer, he talked about Valya. Brezhnev stayed in Ukraine for a long time and knew the situation in Ukraine well, and Valya, who also worked in Ukraine, would not escape Brezhnev's eyes.

"Serokov is my classmate, I am relieved of his ability, I talked to Comrade Sherepin on this issue, and Comrade Sherepin also agreed." Regarding the matter of Serokov, Brezhnev did not shy away from it at all.

This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, you know the actions of the other party but there is no way, not even a more obvious countermeasure, this is the difference between the second secretary and the chairman of the KGB, unless Serov is also a full member of the Central Presidium, he can only secretly use Kryuchkov to divert attention, and now it seems that this move is very successful.

Brezhnev wanted to have more contact with Serov, so that he could assess whether this Serepin general could be used in the case of too much talk and would be lost, and Serov also had this purpose, as a professional interrogator, he liked to find the flaws of the other party through chatting, at least from Brezhneva.

"The transfer of Comrade Kryuchkov, Comrade Andropov has already talked to me about this, I wonder what qualities in this person have made the KGB notice?" The two came to the dinner table to eat and chat, and the problem was not limited to these things in the parents, but the topic went to the KGB.

"Our department does not need too smart people, smart people often think too much, what we need is a position, and from this point of view, Comrade Kryuchkov fits our standards too well. At this stage, the young cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are too impetuous, and the cadres who have experienced the events in Hungary are more stable than those young cadres. Serov gave his reasons, which were simply impeccable, and made Brezhnev nod frequently.

There are some things that cannot be retreated, take the Eastern European allies of the Soviet Union, for example, once there is a problem, the Soviet Union must send troops, there is no reason, Khrushchev will choose this way, Brezhnev will also choose this way. The power of the USSR itself was weaker than the other side, and there was no magnanimous capital pretense.

This temptation is over, Brezhnev thinks that he has mastered Serov, and Serov also thinks so, he can tolerate that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not under his control, in fact, even if Brezhnev separates the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, he can tolerate it, anyway, the border guards and the internal guard army are both KGB, and the military power has long been transferred by Khrushchev to the KGB, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has little power except for the police force to maintain social order.

"With the approval of Comrade Shelepin, Chairman of the Supervisory Commission of the Party and the State, and the approval of the Secretariat, Comrade Serokov was first appointed Minister of the NKVD and Comrade Kryuchkov as Deputy Minister, and it is hoped that the two comrades will continue to exert their strength in their new posts!" After Serov finished announcing the news, he took the lead in applauding, and at the same time had two sets of general uniforms brought over and awarded the medals to Serokov and Kryuchkov, both of whom were lieutenant generals.

This little turmoil about the Ministry of Internal Affairs was passed by Serov's careful and muddy behavior. The two attended the meeting of the KGB chiefs, and at the same time, Serokov will attend the meeting of the KGB presidium in the future.

"Let's talk about domestic things first, the domestic situation is generally stable, and the meteorological department predicts that the weather may be good or bad this year, and I hope we will pay attention to the movements in various places and make preparations for monitoring." This was stated by Lieutenant General Serdyuko, director of the General Directorate of Domestic Espionage.

"Maybe it will be better? Maybe it will be broken? Isn't that nonsense? Do they still need to tell me about this result? It doesn't matter if it's broken, we've got the Sultan. Serov exclaimed in a gesture of hugging with his hands, "Aren't you comrades?" That's what our work is about, and no one understands that the arrival of the Sudan will solve our food problem once and for all. ”

"Yes, yes!" The directors of the General Administration present applauded one after another, which surprised Serokov and Kryuchkov, who attended the meeting of the directors of the General Administration for the first time, and a group of old men about 50 years old were still so excited, which is rare in other departments.

Serov waved his hand to calm everyone down, and said nonchalantly, "The arrival of the Sultan is certainly a great benefit to our agricultural and animal husbandry problems, but from our point of view, it is not very exciting, after all, with our ability, it is not worth boasting about dealing with a small Sultan, will the CIA be excited about suppressing a few guerrillas?" Perhaps, but our adversaries believe that they share us and want to defeat the enemy head-on more than to be complacent about bringing down a small country. ”

"Chairman, do you mean we're going to have a chance to go head-to-head with the CIA right away?" First Deputy Chairman Sakhatowski looked interested and said, "This is an interesting thing? ”

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, they had only one purpose, where was the direction of attack?

"The direction of attack is Southeast Asia, where we have a fierce confrontation with the capitalist camp, the level of support is about the same, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the final result is difficult for anyone to say." Serov's voice was a little cautious, carefully analyzing the situation and said, "The layout of Southeast Asia is related to the strategic pattern, and once it succeeds, the defense line of capitalism in the East will be shattered, so from now on, draw forces from all over the country to prepare to enter the local area, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Everyone stood up and spoke in unison, including Serokov and Kryuchkov, both of who, although they had attended a meeting of the head of the General Administration for the first time, were so absorbed by the atmosphere that they were completely engaged.

If the situation in Southeast Asia is a joint force between China and the Soviet Union, it will be a five-five situation, but if it is like a joint force between China and the Soviet Union in history, then the result will be more tragic. The Vietnamese side has given weapons and equipment support as it has historically, and there is nothing to be done about the five scum of the war supported by the Americans, but in Indonesia, it must be based on defense and counterattack, which requires an advantage in intelligence work.

"In general, as soon as the envisaged situation arises, the time will come for us to turn from defense to offensive in terms of national strategy and achieve results, and immediately evaluate the local area. Time is running out, so prepare. "Serov announced the adjournment of the meeting after talking about this issue, and the KGB should be moving. (To be continued.) )
