During the Khrushchev period, the Trotskyists were tolerated, at least not suppressed, and it was the Stalinists who were suppressed. Everything is two-sided, but in the case of the May storm in France, it was actually a good thing. If Brezhnev was the general secretary of the Soviet Union, he would certainly not use the influence of the Soviet Union to support the French May storm even a little, even in the diplomatic field.

Khrushchev's tolerance for Trotskyism and his attitude in some other respects gave him the nickname of Soviet revision from the Chinese side, and it was not completely undesirable in some other respects. If Khrushchev had been in power and the French May storm had broken out, he would not have been factional and indifferent to Trotsky's Fourth International, and would probably have supported the movement in France, and Brezhnev might not have done so, and Trotsky would have been Brezhnev's greatest enemy.

But this is not a bad thing, a person cannot be omniscient, there are advantages must have disadvantages, Serov hopes to expand the influence of advantages, and suppress shortcomings to the point that they do not affect the overall situation. From the May storms in France and the events in Czechoslovakia a few years later, perhaps that kind of resolution would not have been made if Khrushchev had been in power.

It is impossible for even a leader not to make any mistakes, and both Khrushchev and Brezhnev were within this limit, and they made the wrong choice, although the latter was bigger, but far less idiotic than the last general secretary of the Soviet Union.

As the chairman of the National Security Council, Serov adheres to the idea that he will never let go if he can intervene, and he definitely has a certain initiative as an attacker anyway, so why not intervene more. The gap between the Soviet Union and the United States is not as great as that between Shu and Wei, and the Soviet Union can afford to constantly cause trouble to each other.

Why was it that the Soviet Union, in the 70s of the Cold War, was able to launch a global offensive with 70% of the strength of the United States? It is because the attacker has the initiative, and the United States, which is on the defensive, needs to assess what is valuable and where it must retreat. Neither the Soviet Union nor the United States had national strength to the extent that one country could solve the world's problems, so it was necessary to make trade-offs at critical times.

"Chairman, what is the value of the French side, you specifically found the head of the French side, Hu Laijia?" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky, who has now been promoted to First Deputy Chairman and is also the head of the First General Directorate, asked.

"Actually, I think that France has not caught our spies at present, not because the French counter-espionage system is not strong, but because of the gap in understanding, the French actually do not have the obvious understanding of the British on the issue of the United States and the Soviet Union, and this must take into account the factors of the French Communist Party, as well as the revolutionary ideals of the French people all along. These factors, combined with the balance beam tactics adopted by the French government against the United States and the Soviet Union, have never caused fatal damage to our spy network in France! Serov said a few words of his thoughts, glanced back at Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky and said, "I don't know if my judgment is correct, but if the French really think so, we can wait for the moment to give them a surprise blow......"

Isn't that Trotsky's Fourth International? Trotsky's theory of world revolution, with its emphasis on revolution and construction, was so small that it was eventually purged by Stalin in the Soviet Union. But if Trotsky were to resurrect in France, Serov would definitely welcome it, and he would rather see a France that was constantly exporting revolutions and nothing to scold the Soviet Union, than a partner country standing next to the United States. What are you afraid of scolding the USSR? Are there few countries in the world that scold the Soviet Union? Not to mention Albania and Yugoslavia in Europe, and even China in the East, don't they all have a head of Soviet revision.

The Soviet Union, which spends its days in scolding, should also get used to being scolded, anyway, the result is the same, and it is nothing to be scolded by Trotsky's followers, and besides, who will be able to guarantee that in case of success, it will be the Fourth International that will be in power?

"Forget it, I don't really understand your thoughts, but from experience, you must have a point, I'm old!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky touched his gray hair and said, "I will retire in a few years, and you are old enough to work in the KGB for thirty years, and no one knows what the world will become by then!" ”

Thirty years is too long, but when did my work experience rise to the point of experience? Serov shook his head inexplicably, wondering why the veteran anti-rebel worker in front of him had such feelings.

"A anti-anti-anti-corruption worker needs to find a suitable entry point, you are the best one I have seen in this point, it shouldn't be the best, it's simply terrible, you can find a lot of entry points that are not very suitable!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky looked at Serov very seriously, "There are almost no such people among the cadres of your age. ”

"Thank you, teacher, I still think your praise is a bit too high, it's just the basics." Serov does not think highly of himself because of the role of memory, compared with the people of this age, he only has a little more memory to corroborate his judgment, and he is nothing but these memories.

There are many truly capable people in this era, such as Brezhnev who moisturized things silently, Kosygin who single-handedly operated the Soviet economy, Suslov who was high-spirited and did not eat fireworks in the world, and Sherepin who attracted like-minded people with his personality charm. Not to mention Khrushchev, who suppressed these people and scared these giants until after he stepped down. Compared to these Soviets, who were capable of themselves, he was really nothing.

Can Serov be better than Brezhnev in the eyes of a person? Serov knew that Soviet cadres who could leave a name in history would be co-opted, but Brezhnev did not have this memory, and he looked for his allies through contact and judgment, and Serov, who was with a plug-in, was only a half-hearted fight with Brezhnev. With his ideas and personal ethics alone, he attracted a large number of supporters, Sherepin, Kosygin, who was at the helm of the economic lifeline of the Soviet Union, and Andropov, who was obscure and scheming. But with the means he can't compare to any of them, memory can only help Serov to get here, and what he needs to learn in the coming days is not exactly what memory can solve, memory can help him see the actions of the United States, but it cannot help him deal with these historical giants of the Soviet Union.

"In this era, I learned that Brezhnev occupied the right time and place, and even if there was no coup d'état, it would be very difficult to do it!" Brezhnev has already occupied the best position, unless he is like Kozlov suddenly unwell, no one can pull him down, can the KGB kill Brezhnev by some off-the-screen means? The answer is no, unless Khrushchev asked the KGB to do so, with him a member of the Central Committee ordered it, and no one would carry it out.

Brezhnev pursued the principle of stability in the ranks of cadres, which in essence ensured a stable life for the functionaries of party and government organs. The period of stability in the sixties became the period of eldership. Can the KGB independently go to war with the cadres of the whole Soviet Union? No, isn't this a death for the KGB?

"Chairman, Mr. Fujita, the head of the Far East office of Prince Paper, has been waiting for you for two days since he flew from Primorsky Krai to Moscow, and it seems that the Primorsky Party Committee asked him to come and talk to you himself!" Servanov took the telegram and said, "It seems that the chairman of the prince's paper making has taken off from Tokyo and is ready to come to Moscow to discuss this matter, and he will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!" ”

"Confess? I don't need to explain, and the prince doesn't owe me money, what do I need to explain? Serov smiled and said, "What can he give me?" Removal of directors and responsible persons who made price reduction agreements? I don't need this kind of explanation, now the whole country knows that the housing plan of all units under the KGB has already been implemented, and the water that has been spilled cannot be recovered, but I am willing to listen to what the Japanese want to say, let's see first......"

"The headquarters is very dissatisfied with your work, if you had killed yourself twenty years ago!" After Nakatomi Michitaka came to Moscow, he gave Fujita two slaps when he saw him, in exchange for Fujita's two hi voices.

After slapping him twice, Zhongfu Daolong was still angry, and shouted, "Do you know that it is too late for us to transfer the importing country at this time, and it is not suitable for logging at any time of the year, how do you make up for the loss of the head office this time?" Go with me to the chairman of the State Security Council of the USSR, if this negotiation does not end well, neither you nor your family will have a good result! ”

Fujita trembled in his heart, with the social atmosphere of Japan, if a man does not have a job, it means that a family will be in trouble, Nakatomi Michitaka's words are almost equivalent to pronouncing him to death, it is very rare to change jobs in Japan, if the negotiation fails, his best result is to become a small clerk for the rest of his life.

Serov greeted Nakatomi Michitaka, the chairman of the prince's paper-making board at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, there was no way, there was no other place, Serov, who was in his office, was quite interested in fiddling with the gifts brought by Nakatomi Michitaka, and said while fiddling, "Mr. Nakatomi, do you have any opinion on the rumored horror of the Soviet KGB headquarters?" You have to know that not every foreigner has the opportunity to come in! It's not an experience that everyone has ever had......"

"Yes, Chairman Serov, it's been a good experience!" Nakatomi Michitaka nodded with Fujita behind him and said, "Chairman Serov's name has been heard even in Japan, and he was in charge of the Soviet State Security Council at the age of thirty, and this outstanding ability is our example!"
