Chapter 946: Ethnic Equality

Aliyev is an Azerbaijani, but it doesn't matter, he is the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and the nation is far from being able to determine its own position, and he can maintain basic sympathy for his own people, but it would be naïve to expect a cadre who has been the chairman of the KGB of Azerbaijan for a long time, because a nation will show mercy.

Baku is of course important for Azerbaijan, but for Aliyev, the position of a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee and the reputation of the Soviet Union later are even more important. If some people don't know each other, the Gulag in Siberia still lacks unpaid labor for building socialism, and Aliyev doesn't mind adding a few names to the list of purge crimes, there are ready-made crimes, and there is more than one, against the Soviets, against the Central Committee!

Aliyev came to Baku itself very low-key, where he for many years served as chairman of the KGB, first secretary. I am very familiar with every plant and tree in Azerbaijan. Of course, there are feelings, and there are responsibilities.

Aliyev, who got off the train from the Baku railway station, did not hesitate and went directly to the central authorities of Azerbaijan. The current first secretary of Azerbaijan is Vigirov. Vigirov was ambassador to Pakistan, which of course no longer exists. Compared to Aliyev, who has been here for a long time, Virgirov is softer, at least on the surface.

Virgirov was still very surprised when he saw the appearance of his predecessor, and unlike Aliyev, the Soviet Union began to send cadres from the central government to govern the localities after the situation of the state party committee secretaries appeared. To prevent the emergence of giants like Kunaev, Aliyev, Virgirov is an Azerbaijani cadre who has lived in Moscow for a long time.

"Comrade Aliyev, how did you come to Baku." Vigirov greeted Aliyev to his home and asked.

"The chairman knew something was going on in Baku and sent me over to take a look." Aliyev's first sentence was a standard police perfunctory, first saying that the matter was not serious, and that it could be solved only by talking about education, and then solving the problem in a coup.

Vigirov nodded, knowing that the chairman Aliyev was talking about was the general secretary, who was also the chairman of the National Security Council. He did not ask the Central Committee how he got the information, the KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been completely separated from the local governments during the Serov era, the local state committees and the union republics had no ability to interfere with the security agencies, and all security cadres and personnel organizations were appointed and dismissed by Lubyanka himself, and even if the chairman of the KGB of a union republic accused the first secretary, Virgirov, as the first secretary, could not remove the chairman of the KGB, but had to feed back this kind of information to Lubyanka and wait for the investigation team to come down to investigate.

The Soviet security services had their own system, recruited their own members, evaluated themselves, appointed and dismissed cadres, prevented local cadres from interfering in the security services, and curbed the expansion of local forces, and no one had the right to interfere except the rubyanka. Virgirov, of course, was dissatisfied, but the general secretary himself was also the chairman of the National Security Council, and no one could say anything.

"It is true that some cadres are not very in favor of Baku directly under the Central Committee, and I think this can still be communicated." Virgirov opened his mouth more unspeakably, and chose to tell the truth, Aliyev came directly, and there was no point in concealing it.

"I think it's very disapproves! Especially some grassroots cadres. Aliyev unhurriedly corrected the current first secretary of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan. From the beginning of his work as chairman of the KGB to the first secretary, Aliyev knew the cadres of Azerbaijan very well, he was also promoted from the grassroots level, and of course knew the thoughts of the grassroots level.

The importance of Baku for Azerbaijan goes without saying, the population alone accounts for a quarter of the entire Azerbaijan. The local cadres and the masses, with the exception of Baku, certainly do not want the most important cities to be directly under the central government.

"I just came here to publicize the policies of the Central Committee, and the general secretary is also very concerned about this matter." Aliyev nodded, and he didn't say much, but downplayed his intentions. The two quickly communicated, and Aliyev left for the KGB guest house, not wanting to return to the house where he had lived.

In fact, the easiest way is to use interests to buy the local area to create a fait accompli, but Serov, who is far away in Moscow, after preliminary calculations, feels that in this period of all-out confrontation, it is slightly uneconomical to take out funds to support Baku and Tashkent, and in the Caucasus and Central Asia, the two cities are already very good.

Catching up with such a slamming general secretary, Aliyev has no choice, obviously the general secretary is still holding back his big move and stumbling with Reagan, I heard that this year's military spending must be on par with the United States, showing the determination of the Soviets to fight to the end. The Baikonur launch site is constantly updating the network of spy satellites. Ground-effect aircraft in the Caspian Sea have been approved for mass production by the central government, and heavyweight ocean-going warships such as heavy aircraft carriers and battle cruisers of the Red Navy are still in full swing.

Before leaving Moscow, Aliyev also heard the general secretary mutter, it is also a good thing to destroy the local party organization, Tashkent's proposal to the central government is very calm, of course, it is very calm, the Uzbek Communist Party has been purged of tens of thousands of cadres because of two major cases, and they are replaced by the KGB drawn from all over the country, saying that Uzbekistan is now under military control. Even if it wasn't, it was taken care of by the KGB police.

If the general secretary had personally intervened, he would have believed that the stick of local nationalism would have fallen on the Azerbaijanis. Rather than this, Aliyev might as well go into battle on his own, how to say that he also has some feelings for his own nation, but this feeling does not exceed his feelings for the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee.

"That's all for the list of cadres with too much nationalism?" Aliyev took the list of investigations handed over by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan, and there were not many really high-level cadres. There is only one first secretary of the city party committee, who is generally the secretary of the district party committee, the chairman of the collective farm, the chairman of the people's council.

After all, for cadres like the first secretary of the municipal party committee, Baku's departure from Azerbaijan and its return to the central government meant that their competition became smaller, but not for the chairman of the collective farm and the chairman of the people's council. They place greater importance on the financial allocation and support of the Republic. Azerbaijan, having lost Baku, is a matter of course with a loss of strength.

While looking through Aliyev, looking for information from the pieces of paper that could lead to judgments, he said to the Minister of Internal Affairs and the chairman of the KGB, "The one who opposes is the youngest first secretary of the municipal party committee, and most of them are cadres of the new generation." They generally reach a very high level at a young age and consider themselves to be very competitive. On the contrary, many very old cadres will not object, interesting! ”

"To solve the problem with intra-party debate, first, to see how many cadres are really opposed, let them all come out, and on the other hand, once the debate fails, if they still want to make trouble, we will arrest people. Things are best settled before the New Year! Aliyev said to the two ministers. Now he is the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and he actually has little right to interfere in the union republics, but he has not lost the rank of KGB general, and he can do things through two powerful departments.

"We can just arrest people, we don't have to." The chairman of the KGB felt that it could be more direct.

"We, the security cadres, every generation must learn the lessons of Minister Beria, and even if we can do so, we will have to wait until after the resolution is made!" Aliyev looked up at the two security cadres and said, "This is the consensus of the cadres of our security system. ”

A few days later, a plenum of the Central Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan was convened to discuss the work of the Central Committee of Baku after the direct administration of Baku, which was announced to the outside world.

The confrontation between supporters and opponents is very fierce, after all, the supporters are a group of old men, even if there are many people, and the first secretary of Virgirov and Aliyev are in a strong position, it is very difficult to deal with a group of energetic young cadres.

"Nearly forty first secretaries of district committees against eight first secretaries of district committees, can they make a match?" Aliyev is also enough, but he is no longer the first secretary of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan and cannot ostensibly interfere in meetings here.

Among the members of the Azerbaijani Central Committee who belong to the Central Committee, it seems that the secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Prefecture Party Committee is the most prepared and confident supporter of the Central Committee, and the secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Prefecture Party Committee is full of gunpowder accusations, and some Azerbaijani cadres have a rather obvious tendency to oppose the Soviets, and only know themselves Azerbaijanis, and resist the concept of the Soviet nation advocated by the Central Committee.

If it weren't for the fact that the secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Prefecture Party Committee was Armenian, Aliyev would definitely think that he had found a cadre with a good outlook, and the entire Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region was a gathering area of Armenia. Any move to weaken Azerbaijan, the Armenians are quite in favor of it.

The Armenians also do not care about solidarity with the Azerbaijani cadres, and the entire Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region agrees that Baku is directly under the Central Committee, and the secretary of the regional party committee only conveys the opinion of the people of the region.

"After the discussion of the plenary meeting of the Central Committee of Azerbaijan, it was recognized that the Greater Baku region is under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Committee, and I believe that with the support of the whole Union, the development of Baku will definitely get better and better." The first secretary of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan, Vigirov, was relieved when he announced that he was very complicated about this resolution.

Serov immediately replied that the recognition of the economic and political status of Baku and Tashkent would be real national equality.
