Chapter 824: The Twenty-Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

It was of course very important for the Commissar General to bring justice to the Jews, but it was not the biggest thing at the moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info but the 26th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which was immediately convened. It was a month after US President Ronald Reagan was sworn in.

In February, preparations had already begun in Moscow, and the main directorates of the KGB had received orders from Lubyanka to guarantee absolute security during the 26th National Congress. Towards the start of the congress, Moscow was already in a state of quasi-quitting. At the same time, representatives of the Communist Party, the Workers' Party and the pro-Soviet parties from one hundred and ninety-nine countries of the world began to be greeted, and people of all colors appeared on the streets of Moscow.

In the Kremlin Hall, 5,000 delegates were present, representing 18 million members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Brezhnev presided over the meeting in a silver-white military uniform, and Serov also wore a silver-white military dress. Sitting in the second row of the rostrum, after the presence of Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, all stood up to welcome the leader, who was already in his seventies, and the applause resounded in the Great Hall for a long time.

"In the past five years, our great party and great motherland have made achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, and looking at the international situation, we can say with certainty that we have more and more friends, but fewer and fewer enemies." Brezhnev took out the report "The Summary Report of the Central Committee and the Tasks of the Party at the Present in the Field of Domestic and Foreign Policy," which had already been prepared, and said in a slow but still powerful voice, "But we must also realize that the present stage is not a smooth sailing and a time when we can not see the crisis. The dark clouds rolling in the sky on the international horizon, which are complicated and full of storms, are an extremely challenging new test for our party and country, and what results can be achieved in the end depends entirely on the leadership ability of the cadres and stratum and how they can make use of the opportunities and tide over the difficulties under the guiding ideology of Marxism-Leninism. ”

Subsequently, Chairman of the Council of Ministers Tikhonov submitted a report on the "Basic Principles of Economic and Social Development of the Soviet Union for 1981-1985 and 1990", on which corresponding resolutions were adopted.

Andropov submitted the "Summary Report of the Central Supervisory Commission" and adopted the decision on drafting a new revised version of the program of the CPSU, a decision on the letters and complaints received from the working people at the 26th Congress of the CPSU, and a decision on the appeals of Communist Party members.

After Chernenko's "Summary Report on How to Maintain the Advanced Nature of Communist Party Members," Serov walked to the podium, took off his hat and put it on it, and said in a small voice: "I will briefly comment on some possible threats to the motherland at home and abroad, and I can be interrupted by different opinions, thank you!" ”

After the applause subsided, Serov cleared his throat, gestured to Brezhnev and said, "The general secretary said that the sky on the international horizon is full of dark clouds, complex and full of storms. This is very suitable for the current situation facing the party and the state, practical and full of wisdom, since two years ago, we can clearly feel that the European and American countries are collectively turning to the right, from Margaret Thatcher to Reagan, they are all hostile to the collective, fairness, and the politicians of the working class, and even the entire socialist countries, in this case, I expect that the next confrontation will be deeper and more complex. ”

"What worries me the most is that some cadres are letting down their vigilance because of their current achievements. Rather than all kinds of external threats, I have always emphasized that the internal enemy is the most important thing to guard against. Some naΓ―ve ideas are circulating among the cadres and strata that we can completely coexist peacefully with the United States and develop independently. This is a huge mistake, we may coexist peacefully, but development will never interfere with each other, more than 30 years of experience in the suppression of rebellion clearly tell me. Imperialism cannot be trusted, and imperialism will not die. The Soviet Union was a thorn in their side for a long time. Coughing softly, Serov continued, "Since the fiasco of the Vietnam War, which was launched by the United States with its aggressive nature, because of the awakening of the American people and the excessively greedy expansionist policy. The United States had to temporarily calm down for ten years, which is not something that the United States is willing to do, and they are accumulating energy to prepare for a larger-scale and more layered confrontation. ”

"Recently, some European and American politicians, from their remarks, we obviously think that this is to create public opinion for a new round of confrontation rehearsal, in this regard, I just want to say that the Soviet Union just wanted to slowly wait for themselves to enter the dustbin of history, if they are not willing to do this, want to maintain their existence by provoking trouble, we do not mind lifting their feet, helping them to complete this necessary step, kicking them in." Serov stopped his aggressive report, glanced at the delegates everywhere with his usual gaze, and said the last sentence with a conceited smile: "The enemy who provokes resistance will inevitably be completely buried by the fire and steel of the Soviets." ”

Bursting ......, warm applause rang out, Serov nodded slightly, and after answering a few questions. Returned to his position, "Comrade Serov, this person has always been well understood, and he has always spoken so bluntly, and our General Political Commissar for State Security has reacted fiercely to any threat. But it is precisely this attitude that has led to our present security situation, and the General Political Commissar is quite right in saying that if you dare to confront the great Soviets, you will surely be buried by the fire and steel of the Soviets, and for more than 60 years, our great motherland has withstood countless tests, and now where are our enemies? We are not afraid of any competition or war. ”

Brezhnev spoke again, "The general crisis of capitalism has been further exacerbated, this is a structural contradiction, which cannot be avoided by any capitalist system, of course, we have our problems, we ourselves still have a lot of our own problems to solve, but we cannot say that because we have problems, our opponents do not have problems." ”

The crisis of capitalism is inevitable and will get worse, but in fact it is not in line with the current economy of Britain and the United States, because Europe and the United States are slowly crawling out of the quagmire. But this rhetoric, which was uttered at every congress of the Soviet Union, is indeed a real truth, and the interval between the economic crises of capitalism is getting shorter and shorter.

Especially in the last world economic crisis caused by the oil crisis, the unemployment rate in the United States remained high, but in fact, it has never ended, which is why Reagan began to reform and wanted to solve the source of all problems, the Soviet Union.

Serov knows more about the later history of the United States, which first cut South America and then sucked blood from the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan with the Plaza Accord, in fact, the economy was not good in the era when Reagan led the United States. Before Reagan stepped down, signs of an economic crisis were already beginning to appear, and by the time Bush launched the Gulf War, nominal growth was 5 percent in '90 and 3 percent in '91, but excluding inflation, they were 1 percent and minus 0.1 percent, respectively.

It shows that the Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse, and the United States has lost too much blood and has begun to regress. Everyone knows what happened next, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States under the leadership of Zipton, it is difficult to defeat on the earth, and the real and nominal growth of the American economy is not as fast as it can be.

Brezhnev always believed that there was something wrong with his policy, and that the Soviet Union was going to confront the United States. Just as Khrushchev always thought that the Soviet Union could win the United States in the peace race. After the inauguration of US President Ronald Reagan, the national congress held in the Soviet Union was no less aggressive, the global offensive policy continued, the arms race continued, the hostility between the two sides continued, and it was business as usual.

"The meeting elected a new member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Chairman and General Secretary of the Supreme Soviet Leonid Brezhnev."

"Chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission, Secretary of the Central Committee, Comrade Andropov!"

"Comrade Suslov, Secretary of the Central Committee, Comrade Chernenko, Secretary of the Central Committee! Comrade Serov, Secretary of the Central Committee, General Political Commissar for State Security, Chairman of the National Security Committee, Comrade Ustinov, Minister of Defense, Secretary of the Central Committee. Foreign Minister Comrade Gromyko, First Secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, Comrade Grishin. Comrade Romanov, First Secretary of the Leningrad City Party Committee, Comrade Fortseva, First Secretary of the Soviet City Party Committee, Comrade Kunaev, First Secretary of the Kazakh Party Committee. Comrade Tikhonov, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and Comrade Serbitsky, First Secretary of the Party Committee of Ukraine, are members of the new Presidium of the Central Committee. ”

This meeting continued Brezhnev's established policy, starting with the 24th Congress of the CPSU that the general crisis of capitalism was "continuing to deepen". The 25th Congress of the CPSU reaffirmed the judgment of the 24th Congress and further argued that "the current myth that capitalism can avoid a crisis is bankrupt". The 26th Congress of the CPSU held that "the general crisis of capitalism has been further intensified."

The members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, including General Secretaries Brezhnev, Andropov, Serov, Ustinov, and Gromyko, criticized the United States very directly. It seems that he was very dissatisfied with Reagan's Soviet attitude, and took-for-tat measures. As the meeting continued, some countries exclaimed that the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was intensifying, that there had never been such a direct expression of hostility between the two countries in a decade, that the Cold War would enter a more intense phase, and so on.

Then a conversation between Serov and Ustinov was leaked, "The United States is a country on a marginal continent, and the United States can only maintain its influence by provoking contradictions among countries in Eurasia, but unfortunately, now the center of mankind has no country that can challenge the Soviet Union, and the Americans cannot win us."
