"You can promise that remembering what you said today is more important than anything else! I'm not here to help you, I'm for the whole people, science and technology must enter thousands of households, otherwise no matter how strong our military strength is, we can't say that we are strong! Serov twisted his neck and patted Kupriyanovich on the shoulder.

If it were only militarily strong, the Soviet Union would really not be able to bear the democratic definition of the people being the masters of the country. But Serov was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he really didn't have the ability to change too many things. Simply in the KGB, escorting creative people, hoping to make what was originally in the history of the Soviet Union can be smoothly promoted.

In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that Serov is a waste, he does not understand agriculture or industry, and even if he has been looking for teachers to make up for his lessons, he still cannot keep up with the speed of social development. In his understanding, the Altai system is more suitable as a fixed telephone, just like the kind of campaign to promote the telephone in China in the nineties, but the wired telephone, as he said in Pravda, is destined to be eliminated by mobile phones, and this cost-saving promotion method of the Soviet Union is tantamount to castrating the Soviet mobile phone that has just appeared. As a national security cadre, Serov must stand up at this time and protect the mobile phone that has just appeared.

"Regardless of the indicators of industrial agriculture, the USSR alone will not be much worse than the United States alone! But the point is that the allies of the United States are too buggy, the old imperialism of Yishui! Fifty years ago, these countries would have been called the Eight-Nation Alliance! "Every time I think of the dream team lineup of the capitalist camp opposite, Serov is a mush. Spreading out the map of the world, one of the most basic conclusions can be drawn that the capitalist camp is stronger, and unless the Soviet Union can turn the coniferous forests of Siberia into population, it will be fundamentally antagonized.

Therefore, the export revolution is necessary, otherwise it will not change the overall difference at all. As soon as the Soviet Union exhausted its potential, the collapse of the entire socialist camp was inevitable.

The reason why Khrushchev's peaceful coexistence caused huge dissatisfaction was that many Soviet cadres believed that with the current population of the entire social camp, if they did not interfere with each other, the development would only be pulled apart more and more. The situation of the Soviet Union towards the United States is very similar to the situation of Shu and Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. The population on my side is small and the place is small, and if I don't take the initiative to attack, I can only see the gap between the two sides getting bigger and bigger.

Of course, the difference in strength between the Soviet Union and the United States was much smaller than that of Shu and Wei, and even very close, and then it returned to the earlier question, the comparison between Poland, Romania and other countries on the Soviet side and the imperialist powers on the American side.

"Civilian technology must be promoted, and the export revolution must continue, sleep!" Serov made up his mind that it was necessary to strengthen the forces of the socialist camp and maintain the good momentum. Peaceful coexistence and death!

On the first day of December, Serov attended a plenary meeting of the Presidium of the KGB, at which Serov proposed to invite the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs to visit the Soviet Union and promote exchanges between the Soviet Union and Indonesia in terms of state order. In front of the other 14 deputy chairmen of the entire KGB Presidium plus Sherepin, Serov made an impassioned statement, "We all know the situation in Southeast Asia, because there are many Chinese in Indonesia, and the local Chinese have joined the Indonesian Communist Party!" Given the centrifugal forces of the current Chinese comrades. We have to take some precautions in the direction of Asia, and the Indonesian Communist Party and China are basically of the same mind. Therefore, in Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, it is necessary for us to develop another power ......"

"So Yuri, you chose the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs? But as far as I know, the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs only bears the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it has little power or influence! The chairman of the KGB of Leningrad, who is also the deputy chairman, said, "Such a department, whether it is facing the huge Indonesian Communist Party or the Indonesian army, seems a little too weak!" ”

"Itinerary for the first half of next year. I am going to set aside three months to visit Indonesia as a return visit to the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we must achieve our goal! Serov directly took out the materials of the recent investigation of the Indonesian side and showed them to the main KGB controllers present.

It is about a large country with a population of hundreds of millions of land and millions of people, in order for the KGB Presidium to support itself. Serov did not hesitate to pull out China and lie down, taking China as an example and saying, "Although the proportion of Chinese in Indonesia's population is not large, the Chinese have joined the Indonesian Communist Party, and the number of Indonesian Communist Party has approached 2.3 million, which is close to the Italian Communist Party, and is now the fourth largest Communist Party in the world!" It can be regarded as the greatest foreign aid to our comrades in the East, and it is closer than the Communist Party of any country! Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia, and it is necessary to support one of our forces as a friend, whether it is to the United States or to China! ”

Serov's subtext is to put China and the United States together as potential enemies, but this consideration is very much in line with the KGB thinking, including Sherepin who does not believe in any country, Alexander II's famous words are still vivid, Russia has only two allies - the army and the navy, and the idea of two fists hitting people is more acceptable to these KGB presidium controllers.

"Yuri, what do you want?" Xie Lepin exchanged views with the vice chairman present and said, "Are you ready to support the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Why not find a ready-made ally? ”

At first glance, Sherepin's question is that he does not understand Indonesia, there are three main powerful forces in Indonesia, except for President Sukarno, who has great prestige as a balancer, among the three powerful forces, Indonesia and China have the closest relationship, and the army is the object of US support.

Introducing the specific situation of Indonesia to Sherepin, Serov said solemnly, "Because we are too far away from Southeast Asia, and now among the three powerful forces, there are indigenous religious forces that have no supporters, so I thought of supporting the Ministry of Internal Affairs to balance the United States and China!" ”

After another round of head-to-head exchanges, Shelepin stopped the argument and proceeded to a show of hands to vote! One vote, including Serov himself, in favor of Serov's proposal passed by 9 to 4, and the remaining two were abstentions. The four votes against were not against Serov's plan, but rather against Serov's great power chauvinism, after all, according to the division of labor and cooperation, the revolution in Asia was China's responsibility. The Soviet Union should not have interfered.

"China's power cannot radiate to Indonesia, and the Indonesian Communist Party alone is no match for the army!" The collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party has proven that China is no match for the United States, even on its doorstep. Five years later, the Indonesian Communist Party has 3.5 million members, the largest Communist Party outside of China and the Soviet Union. In any case, even if Serov did not do anything worse, it would not be worse than in history, and he would not dare to mix with the development that was beneficial to the socialist camp. This unfavorable development Serov was eager to go up and mix it up a little more.

"Yuri, how are you going to impress the Indonesians?" After the meeting ended, Sherepin left Serov alone and asked.

"Sukarno is a balancer, whether it is the Communist Party, religion or the army, the three forces are extremely powerful, so what Sukarno lacks now is a department that obeys orders, only obeys him! It's okay if he doesn't realize it, I can remind him! "Serov's self-confidence is not just because of Sukarno, if he sets foot on Indonesian soil, he will soon use Greater Indonesianism as the key to open the hearts and minds of Indonesians. Few people in the Soviet Union knew about the situation in Southeast Asia, but Serov knew about the Great Indonesian Doctrine that had arisen at the time of the founding of Indonesia, and after the British established Malaysia, Sukarno was very dissatisfied with it, and Great Indonesian Doctrine re-prevailed.

Serov is ready to start from this aspect, knocking on the hearts of Indonesians, since the British support Malaysia, surely the United States is also acquiescing. Since the United States acquiesces, then the United States is the enemy of Indonesia! Since the United States is the enemy of Indonesia. Sukarno had to guard against the Americans. Pretty logical, right? It's okay if it's not logical, you don't need logic to be an enemy.

The Presidium of the KGB adopted Serov's decision to invite the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs to visit and prepared to report it to the Presidium of the Central Committee.

The next day, Khrushchev approved the KGB's proposal, and Khrushchev knew that Indonesian President Sukarno was close to the socialist camp, and Khrushchev was happy to see the visit of friendly countries.

During this time, Serov picked up a train wagon of red wine from the train station. 1,400 boxes of cigars, after they arrived, were distributed to KGB stations in more than 100 cities across the country directly according to the list at the level of deputy chairman, directorate, and directorate, and from the agents of the Seventh General Directorate.

"Old secretary. It's better for me to do that than for them to do it themselves! Not everyone is like you! Serov sighed and said seriously to Sherepin, who had been promoting himself, "Who knows that you are very strict with yourself, but not everyone has such lofty ideals, of course you can order a ban on me from purchasing things from foreign countries, but I don't do it, they do it themselves, and no one knows how much money those people will embezzle!" ”

"Sooner or later, I'm going to remove all privileges! There will be such a day! "In the end, Sherepin did not punish Serov, not because of his mercy, but because Sherepin thought that it was not yet time, and he needed to wait until he had the ability to change everything.

If Serov is not mistaken, it seems that it was the issue of privilege that led to his isolation, and the rest of the cadres went to Brezhnev's side, so that the Sherepin clique had the upper hand.

"Old secretary, if I am in charge of this piece, I can still guarantee that I can control the situation! But if you let them do it themselves, it's very dangerous! Serov didn't care whether Shelepin could understand the meaning or not, and said slowly, "The danger now is inside, not outside. External opponents, some are enemies, some are simply comrades who cannot see the direction clearly. But internally, among us, there are comrades who have a tendency to become enemies. They are dissatisfied with the restrictions of the organization, they will eventually lose the rights granted by the organization, they may not be able to keep the benefits obtained by using their positions, and they are even dissatisfied with the fact that they cannot turn state-owned assets into personal industries! They wanted to become the rulers of capital in the USSR, the plutocratic leaders of the USSR, the Rockefellers of the USSR. They believe that the organization is in the way, and that real power can only be gained through the terms of freedom and democracy. In a word, their eyes are red! Today I control the channel, in fact, I control their greed! I didn't embezzle a penny from the state! ”

If Serov is not mistaken, this should be the first time that he has been criticized so harshly by Shelepin. It is the first time that the two have clashed, but Serov will not retreat, and if even the KGB can't win it over, the Shelepin clique will really be finished. (To be continued.) )
