Chapter 610: Brezhnev's Scheme
"From our point of view, we can only support you, and we can only support you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is also the reason why for a long time, we ask you not to get too close to any other forces, but to win the trust of the people in the areas of your influence, and I hope that the Iraqi comrades will understand that no one can be trusted except your own comrades, and I believe that I don't need to say more about this, you can come to this conclusion by any country, including the Soviet Union and China. On a separate occasion, Serov and Abdullah Rahman had an in-depth conversation, "pinning your hopes on others will only lead to betrayal, the most recent example of which is Indonesia, where Indonesia successfully thwarted a coup d'état, otherwise the Indonesian Communist Party would have become a ...... of history"
Looking through the history of the Iraqi Communist Party, as is the general situation in the world, that is, the history of continuous repression from the beginning of its establishment, continuous attacks until it finally disappeared, the Iraqi Communist Party first supported Qasim's free officers to organize a coup d'état to form the First Republic, only to be dissolved by several peripheral organizations in turn. After Qasem was killed in battle, he got along with Arif, an associate of the Baath Party. As a result, the second coup d'état, and Arif hit the streets again. Then in the seventies, he collaborated with the Baath Party, and finally in '79 it was completely purged.
Because until this result, Serov had been helping members of the Iraqi Communist Party to train agents many years ago, so that the most powerful Communist Party organization in the Middle East could be turned into an underground party, hoping to preserve its strength and use it one day.
If it weren't for the fact that the military junta is dealing with all kinds of rebel forces now, the fate of the Communist Party of Iraq would definitely be the same as history, the heads of the people who were killed are rolling down, "I hope you still remember how Comrade Fahd, the general secretary, died, if Comrade Rahman thinks that only the Communist Party can save Iraq, then I hope you can listen to me, that is, you must achieve an iron-blooded policy, either you are ready to be a force that is constantly attacked, or you must use all your strength at the beginning to kill all opponents, including anyone, Whether it's an army officer, a Baath Party, or a religious organization, as long as you can do it, the Soviet Union will give you full support. ”
"Finally, on my behalf to the first secretary Hussein? Greetings to Comrade Arradi and hope that the Iraqi Communist Party and himself will be able to achieve a final victory! I hope that you will start preparing to hide from now on, and at any time we must beware of the reactionary dogs jumping over the wall! Serov finally shook hands with Abdullah Rahman, and seriously reminded the other party to be careful of the appearance of traitors, and finally prepared a hidden location early.
This was Serov's second meeting with the Central Committee of the Iraqi Communist Party, and like the first, the two spent a few days in Baku before going to some other cities in Azerbaijan to see what the rest of Azerbaijan was like.
Abdullah Rahman then left Baku, and he also needed to secretly return to Iraq. Explain in detail his situation in the Soviet Union and Serov's attitude, once the decision is made to seize power by force, then it is necessary to make relevant preparations.
"At the National Security Conference next month, the Albanian Ministry of Internal Affairs is invited to participate." After returning to Moscow, Serov got the plan report of Zinev and Tsvigon, and without looking at it much, he directly approached Andropov, and the two of them together sent the plan to the Central Presidium for approval.
With economic inducements, supplemented by military support, we must resolutely stand firm in key countries, even in war.
"How many of them went to the Kremlin?" Serov, who was holding a red-encrypted phone, was referring to several security cadres of the Dnipro gang, Zinev, Tsvigon and Serokov.
"Yes, I should be looking for the first secretary. I think you should send the document to make them feel inappropriate! "But it doesn't seem to be in line with the conciliatory rhetoric that Brezhnev and Kosygin have said recently!" You know, the Federal Republic of Germany has already responded. ”
The Federal Republic of Germany was the first to respond after the Soviet Union's détente rhetoric, and Serov remembered that this was the later Eastern policy, the tendency of the Federal Republic of Germany to seek independent diplomacy and improve its international standing on the basis of independent development, freeing itself from the control of the United States. The easing of relations between East and West played an important role, but it was essentially based on the position and interests of the Federal Republic of Germany and aimed at the reunification of Germany, and it was a concrete manifestation of the Federal Republic of Germany's strategy towards Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union by virtue of its economic power. Although the New Eastern Policy was based on the West, it independently developed relations with the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe, which was the beginning and sign of the Federal Republic of Germany's re-playing an important role in the international political arena.
"It won't work, Brezhnev knows about it. But it's better that these people are still in our sight, and nothing will happen under our noses, and there is also an investigation to see if these people are forming a surveillance team against us, with the careful personality of our first secretary, this is very likely. Serov hung up the phone.
The strategy of détente should be based on strength, but during the Khrushchev period, the balance of power between the Soviet Union and the United States did not change, nor did the distribution of forces in the world change, and the pattern of international relations remained the same. Khrushchev's détente was constrained by the times, and the Soviet Union was deliberately falling into the flowers, while the West was ruthless and could not talk about any strategic significance. The West had an absolute superiority and, naturally, would not be deceived by the USSR. But now it is different, the United States' own strength and control are declining, but the independence of Western Europe is rising, and Western European countries are certainly not very willing to be cannon fodder on the front line, especially the Federal Republic of Germany, which is on the front line of cannon fodder.
Détente succeeded in deception, fueled Western Europe's appeasement of the Soviet Union, and fostered divisions between Western Europe and the United States. The obvious difference between Western Europe and the United States in their approach to the Soviet Union partly reflects the unique personality of Western Europe as a world power.
"You say that Chairman Serov's document is obviously not in line with the central government's détente rhetoric?" Brezhnev looked at his old friend and said unhurriedly, "What does he want to do, you just need to cooperate, a few of you are in the KGB, I believe there will be no problems, we in the Soviet Union also need a more tough person to speak out, you don't understand this." ”
"However, before getting a response from the Federal Republic of Germany, these documents do have an aggressive flavor." The Minister of Internal Affairs, Serokov, was shocked and said, "Will it make people feel that we have hegemonic overtones?" ”
"With Serov's status, of course, he will, but he is only a member of the presidium of the Central Committee, and he can make his voice heard, but he cannot represent the attitude of the whole country, and at the same time, I also want to see what the cadres are thinking." Brezhnev looked at his friends with the same attitude and said, "Cooperate with him, he is your chairman after all." ”
When a few people left, Brezhnev exhaled lightly and said, "Andrey, after the National Security Congress, I decided to elect Sherepin as chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and at the same time clarify the policy of stabilizing the cadre class, what do you think?" ”
"Of course, I welcome the stability of the cadre class, and this will also help you consolidate your position, but the election of the chairman of the Supreme Soviet turned out to be Shelepin, will this make Sherepin even more difficult to deal with?" Kirilenko immediately objected, and if it weren't for Brezhnev's thoughtfulness all along, he wondered if his boss was a little confused.
"Being the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, that is, the nominal head of our country, do you think that the authority of Sherepin is so heavy that everyone else will be satisfied? At least Kosygin was not satisfied, I knew him well. Brezhnev unhurriedly stated his purpose, "The chairman of the Supreme Soviet is also the second secretary, and even if I agree, Kosygin will not agree." Besides, the second secretary is theoretically my successor, and I don't feel that there is anything wrong with my body, so I need a successor now......"
"When the time comes, you will create a rumor and get someone else to propose to remove the second secretary's organizational rights? In this way, it seems that the gains and losses are not known, although the threat of being the successor has been lifted, but Shelepin has become the nominal head of state, and there is no way to judge whether he has earned or lost. Kirilenko thought about it for a long time, but still felt confused.
"Let's take one step at a time, after all, the other party has been operating for so many years." Brezhnev comforted his old friend. It was impossible for him to immediately remove Sherepin from the post of second secretary after putting him in the position of chairman of the Supreme Soviet. When Sherepin's concurrent position as chairman of the Supreme Soviet, second secretary, chairman of the Party and State Supervision Commission, member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers aroused the vigilance of some cadres and strata, with public opinion Brezhnev could comply with the call and remove him from the post of second secretary.
In the past few days, Serov has been preparing for the National Security Conference, which was held in November a month earlier than in previous years, and after the issuance of the circular document, Serov and Ustinov will discuss the issue of military assistance.
With the situation in Iraq at this time, a few hundred T54 tanks should be enough to settle everything, as for the route from Syria to Iraq, but now it is necessary to start preparations, first handed over to the Syrian army, others will also think that this is the support of the Soviet Union to Syria, which will not arouse suspicion.
