Chapter 733: Promotion to Marshal
"The treatment plan is to adopt a preventive warning mechanism, and some of the leaders have been detained in depression rehabilitation centers, and the rest of the participants have been detained. Pen & Fun & Cabinet www.biquge.info "First Deputy Chairman General Bobkov reported.
"This war really tried something." Serov quickly skimmed through the information, then slapped the information on the table, and said fiercely, "There must be a result, all the people who make trouble must be dealt with, you guys hurry up and do it......"
"Yes!" Everyone, including the two First Vice-Chairmen, the two Vice-Presidents, and the heads of the major directorates, was silent.
There were many Turkic-speaking peoples in the Soviet Union, and according to Turkish standards, the five Soviet republics of Central Asia in the Soviet Union, with the exception of Tajiks, were Turkic-speaking peoples. The KGB, which prides itself on safeguarding national security, has always been very vigilant against this kind of henchmanship, because the riots that occurred in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in Turkey were enough to make the KGB very vigilant.
After arriving in the Kremlin, just after being congratulated, Serov said directly, "We must take advantage of this time to completely eradicate Turkey's influence, otherwise it will always affect some ethnic groups in our country, and Turkey must be completely dismembered." ”
The most direct impact of the Soviet attack on Turkey was that as the guardian of Turkey's secularization, the Turkish military suffered a devastating blow, and it can be said that after this war, the prestige of the Turkish military plummeted, and Turkey suffered heavy losses in terms of strength and prestige, and Turkey would become a peaceful country sooner, which Serov could foresee.
A very important step in cutting off Turkey's hand to other countries is to make Turkey itself very weak, which the Soviet Union has now done, as long as Turkey is weak and impoverished in the future. It is believed that it is also not capable of influencing Turkic-speaking peoples in the territory of other countries.
"There are some problems, and we all understand them." Brezhnev nodded knowingly, the Presidium of the Central Committee, with the exception of Serest, was all Great Russians, who understood that if the USSR wanted stability, it had to do so. "This can be done slowly, my main other thing, in your absence, it is not easy to decide, compared to you have a unique understanding of national security, now our military institutions must be in line with the current grand strategy, I believe you also understand." ”
It means reform, military reform, which does not involve the Soviet armament system, but the Soviet command system, which is in line with the current grand strategy of the Soviet Union's global offensive.
However, in Serov's view, Brezhnev has a wrong understanding, that is, he, the general political commissar of international security, actually does not know much about military affairs, and Serov's favorite thing to do is that I can beat you but you can't beat me, and he wants his opponents to be natives with big swords and spears, and he purely crushes the other party with weapons.
This new command structure was drawn up by Defense Minister Marshal Grechko, and in addition to maintaining the structure of the 16 military districts and the four major clusters in the Soviet Union, it was also necessary to divide the world theater of operations. In addition to the four major clusters in Europe itself, it is necessary to divide several theaters of operations, this model Serov is no stranger, this is how the United States was divided in the future, and the current KGB is also divided into regions around the world to train agents to work.
Defense Minister Marshal Grechko's theater plan mainly aims to divide four theaters, mainly to establish four theater commands, including the most important theater of operations in the Middle East except for Europe, the African theater except North Africa, the Eastern theater including East and Southeast Asia, Australia, and the American theater including North and South America.
Compared with the more than a dozen intelligence divisions of the First General Directorate of the KGB according to language habits, the four new theaters of war, in addition to the Middle East theater, cover a very large area, especially the American theater and the Eastern theater, involving many countries.
In order to take charge of the four major clusters in Europe, the sixteen military districts in the country, and the four major theaters of the world, and to re-establish the National Defense Council as the unified command body of the Soviet Union's global offensive, the chairman as the supreme leader of the Soviet armed forces.
"Re-establishment of the National Defense Council?" When Serov heard this, he glanced at Brezhnev covertly, and his heart fell into thinking, if he was not mistaken, in fact, this is the most important thing. Moreover, it was also a plan put forward at the behest of Brezhnev, then the chairman of the USSR Defense Committee should be the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Brezhnev himself. The chairman of the USSR Defense Committee was, in fact, the commander-in-chief of the entire Soviet Armed Forces.
"Yura, your friend doesn't have any opinions." Brezhnev waited until Marshal Grechko had finished recounting the plan, and then asked, listening intently, as if seeking the opinions of others.
"No comments, a good suggestion." Serov sighed in his heart, looking very happy on the surface.
By Brezhnev's side, Serov always had a feeling of discomfort, and he wanted to resist this feeling, but he knew in his heart that it was almost impossible to succeed in resisting. This is not at all the same as when he faced foreign problems, Brezhnev rose too early, he has been catching up, and he can only maintain not being pulled too far.
It's like a Soviet joke that the Americans asked the Soviets if they dared to scold Brezhnev, and he didn't know if others dared or not, he didn't dare, and there was no difference between the Soviets in that joke. The formation of this situation could not be solved even by Shelepin, and he, as a latecomer, had no way to solve it.
"Then I agree with Marshal Grechko's plan in the spirit of respecting the opinion of the military, which is also in order to better fight for the interests of the Soviet Union on a global scale." Unlike usual, Brezhnev did not consult other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee.
Serov clearly saw that Shelepin was serious, but he did not object, it seemed that long before he returned, the confrontation had already come to an end, and Sherepin was obviously the losing side. Again, Kosygin did not object.
"Brezhnev played politics, and he was still the strongest one in the Soviet Union." Serov secretly sighed that voting or not voting was a result, and once he concurrently served as chairman of the Soviet Defense Committee, Brezhnev's position was half a notch higher than the other two. It can be said that the authority was fully established, according to a well-known phrase, under the leadership of Brezhnev at the core......
"One more thing, about this military operation against Turkey, I must say that Yura, in her prior judgment and grasp of the opportunity, was worthy of the eyes of the alliance and accurately found the entry point of the matter, so according to the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the approval of all members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR." Brezhnev slowly stood up and announced in a dignified voice, "Grant Comrade Yuri Yefimovich Serov the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union." Demetri? Fedorovich? Comrade Ustinov as Marshal of the Soviet Union! ”
"Leonid? Ilyich? Comrade Brezhnev as Marshal of the Soviet Union! "Defense Minister Marshal Grechko read out the last name in place of Brezhnev himself.
In the other hall, preparations have been made for the award ceremony. Brezhnev, Serov and Ustinov stood together and completed the training in the footage of the camera. Subsequently, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Sherepin, awarded the Order of the Golden Star to Brezhnev, Serov and Ustinov, respectively.
"Yura, how are you feeling?" Brezhnev asked, looking at Serov beside him.
"It's a little different from what I feel!" Serov recalled how he felt when he had just brought the marshal star, but he did not expect that because of the Turkish adventure, the rank of marshal of Brezhnev and Ustinov came more than a year earlier than in history.
"Maybe I'm too happy, maybe I'm a little uncomfortable." Brezhnev said with a gentle smile that he communicated with the Ministry of Defense to establish a National Defense Committee, although it was not a temporary idea, but he really wanted to firmly control the military power.
Arranging for Serov to go to Armenia to be the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations actually meant that Serov would be thundered. As soon as the Soviet Union is unfavorable and the NATO countries react quickly, then Serov will really be removed from his post as a scapegoat for the failure of the attack on Turkey. There is no personal vendetta involved, which is normal for politics.
But even if Serov is not a soldier and will not command the battle, and he has been constantly revising the plan for more than ten years, everything should be taken into account, and the execution of the destruction strategy identified in the process of attacking Turkey finally made the Soviet Union win a big victory in this adventure, so another question arises, whether General Serov is going to be promoted to marshal.
Many years ago, Brezhnev promised this on a joking occasion, but in fact there was no witness, and it was only a private occasion, and Brezhnev could completely deny it. However, Brezhnev had to admit to the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, and if the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations commanded the army to complete the Soviet Union's breakthrough through the straits, but could not even be promoted in rank, Brezhnev would be questioned.
In this case, Brezhnev considered that the Soviet Union was in the midst of a global offensive, so he re-established the former Soviet Defense Military Council and made it its chairman, and at the same time promoted Ustinov to the military rank, taking the opportunity of attacking Turkey to get closer to the military.
"Next month we are going to have a military parade in Constantinople, and at the same time I will have a parade with our two new marshals." Brezhnev, dressed in his marshal uniform, announced with great vigour, "When the time comes, I will officially announce the annexation of Constantinople to the Soviet Union." ”
Brezhnev's statement immediately aroused the applause of everyone present, and nothing could be compared with this statement, which was immediately sent to the Southern Cluster, who wanted to clean up the traces of the war in Constantinople as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
