Chapter 494: The Great Era

"A year has passed, comrades, I would like to say that the party and the state have given us everything we need, as evidenced by the presence of the First Secretary, the Second Secretary and Chairman Sherepin at our congress today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Serov pulled the microphone to his lips and began to speak, "In this case, we need achievements, to give an account to our first secretary, the country, the people, honor, Ulla......"

Ula, Ula, Ula! At the beginning of the conference, the atmosphere of the entire Grand Theater reached its peak in an instant, as if a powder keg was ignited, making more than 3,000 Soviet security cadres boil in an instant.

"Yura, I'm better at driving the atmosphere, and the conference in the field of security is always so passionate." Sherepin said to Khrushchev beside him, "Unlike ordinary people who read reports, he can maintain enthusiasm from beginning to end in a congress." ”

Brezhnev on the other side nodded, he had attended the security conference, and he was impressed by the enthusiasm of that security conference, the security conference in the USSR was really different from the meetings of other departments. Other departmental meetings, from beginning to end, can be described in one word, boring......

Serov below waited to finish cheering, and then said, "Our meeting was first divided into two parts, first to commend the achievements of this year's work, and then to summarize the problems. But I think that the recognition can be omitted, we should do everything that the state tells us to do, of course, the medals and awards that should be there will not be less than your ......"

Serov's words caused a burst of laughter, and at the same time, the first deputy chairman Itvasov next to him read out the list of awards, covering many cadres of the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the GRU, and he distributed pennants and medals, which took about half an hour, and briefly introduced the merits of these cadres and why they won awards on the screen of the rostrum.

In fact, it is the advanced worker selected in the field of security, and the Soviet security field is guided by the spirit of the series of important speeches of Comrade Khrushchev, the first secretary, to carry out in-depth normative activities in the field of security, integrate resources, build brands, highlight characteristics, govern schools according to law, strictly manage, improve taste, plan for the future, and make their own contributions to the reform and development of the field of security in different positions, and vigorously promote the work of all aspects of Soviet society. In order to sum up experience, commend the advanced, set up exemplary examples, and promote the work of teaching, scientific research, management, logistics, and so on......

The report written by Servanov was so unassailable that Serov gave up the illusion that I am a good person, and this illusion was rather terrible.

"As a security cadre, it is our job to maintain the stability of the country, and this reward is also very correct, but this is not the only criterion for our security cadres, and there are still many deficiencies in our work." Serov knocked on the table and said loudly, "At present, our work is facing the problem of uneven distribution of manpower, let me briefly talk about this problem first, our external intelligence personnel are insufficient, but the anti-counterterrorism workers are abundant. Comrades, if our eyes are limited to the country, we are far from being an excellent security cadre. ”

Intelligence personnel and anti-counterterrorism workers are two different things, and there are actually quite a few people who can really go abroad to serve as intelligence officers, but compared with the KGB's domestic institutions, there are very few, and the KGB's focus must be carried out abroad.

"Comrades, think about where we can help the country, and you must understand that the country does not pin its hopes on us in vain, that our fathers have left us powerful weapons, and that what we can do is to strengthen our confidence and crush all the enemies of the Soviets until victory in this struggle." At this time, Serov put the speech upside down on the table in front of 3,000 security cadres, stood up and took the microphone and shouted, "Who represents the working class in this world?" It is the Soviet Union and the United States that can start a war when it wants to start a war in the whole world lawlessly, who can protect the lives of those third world countries, it is our Soviet Union, which country is the motherland of the workers, it is our Soviet Union! ”

"We have already started a war with the United States, in the economic, political and diplomatic spheres, so what can we do?" Speaking of this, Serov paused for a moment, and then suddenly shouted, "Look at our flag, look at our national emblem, you should understand, and realize the meaning of the national flag and the national emblem." ”

"We endure loneliness, even hiding incognito in a foreign land, never daring to dream of our homeland. Isn't it for the sake of winning this struggle? Today I want to tell you that our victory is inevitable! Serov shouted.

"Ula, Ula, Ula!" All the 3,000 cadres of the Grand Theater stood up and shouted, "Sniff out and eradicate the traitor......

"This struggle has reached a turning point, the large-scale invasion of Vietnam by the United States for three months has caused great damage to the Vietnamese people, but the Vietnamese people have not yielded to this self-proclaimed most powerful country in the world. The Vietnam War will be a landmark event in our struggle with the United States, so the light has come. Serov's voice echoed in the Bolshoi Theater, which was very quiet at this time, and all the security cadres were listening to the speech of the most authoritative security expert in the Soviet Union, and these security cadres were as quiet as schoolchildren absorbing knowledge from their teachers.

"I can't talk much about the specific situation and the role of the state in it, but you have to trust my judgment." Serov, who is the chief political commissar of national security, said in a rare and categorical tone, "After this war, the United States will encounter great troubles, and they will definitely pay the price for their arrogance." ”

Americans always think that their national strength is unlimited, the international situation of the Vietnam War and the Korean War has been different, during the Korean War, the Soviet Union still left a huge wound in the **** Great Patriotic War, when the Korean War just began, the Soviet Union just spent five years to heal the wound, the capitalist countries of Western Europe have just recovered, and the United States is basically in a stage where there is no opponent.

But now it is different, almost twenty years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, children born in the USSR after the war have begun to reach adulthood, and although Khrushchev's reforms have failed a lot over the years, they have indeed increased the strength of the USSR a lot. The industrial power of the countries of Western Europe had long since recovered and emerged from the dumping ground of American products in the early post-war period.

The Breston Woods system in the United States is also starting to work in trouble, and the last dollar crisis will continue to come as the war continues. In the final analysis, it is Americans who have unrealistic expectations of their own national power. Not to mention the Vietnam War, the later wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States had almost the same advantage in front of the United States as it did after World War II, when the Soviet Union had collapsed and after the fall of its competitors, the United States was in an unprecedented state of prosperity.

In the absence of an adversary, the United States has risen to the idea of transforming the world into its ideal state. As a result, after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States, which began to have kidney deficiency again, found that it seemed to have let go of an enemy left over from the Cold War.

At this time, the United States, which had just intervened in the Vietnam War, had the idea that Lao Tzu could handle everything, and marched violently towards hell without hesitation. It can be said that no one can stop themselves from looking for death, and in the decade-long Vietnam War, the Soviet Union had time to manipulate one problem after another.

"Comrades, I hope that I can get more good news at next year's National Security Conference." After a full day, Serov, as the chairman of the KGB, made a final speech, "In the great victory of communism, the great Soviet Union will always advance, and we, as a member of it, are glad that we can grow up with the country, who would have thought that today's Soviet Union would stand on top of the world in the era of imperial Russia?" After our victory over the United States, we reminisce about the hardships we have had along the way, and we are glad that we live in a great era. When we are old enough to lie on the hospital bed, looking back on the course of our lives, we can write our epitaph in advance before we die, before death comes, we are worthy of the sacrifice of our fathers, worthy of the children who grew up, at the end of our lives, we can pat our chest that is no longer strong and say to ourselves, we are worthy of living in this great era and completing our mission. ”

The Grand Theater was completely occupied by applause, and Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Sherepin respectively came down from the second floor of the auditorium and walked to the front of the rostrum while applauding. ”

Before the arrival of the New Year of 1965, after a long period of deliberation, Khrushchev, as the first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, finally proposed his own replacement for the vacated position in Podgorny: "I nominate Comrade Sherepin, Chairman of the Party and State Supervision Commission, as a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Absolutely competent to be a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee......"

On Khrushchev's nomination, Sherepin rose to the post of member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and at the same time Andropov became an alternate member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union.

"Shurik took the place of Podgorny? It's getting more and more interesting! Serov muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
