When he appeared again, Serov was already in the Kremlin Khrushchev's office, and told all the details of his trip to Indonesia, "I met Aidi, and also made an inspection of Indonesia, including light industry and some rubber industry plantations, Indonesia's rubber industry and Malaysia, Thailand, these countries It is difficult to say who is the real rubber kingdom, but it is enough to supply the industries of the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, and there is no ......problem at all."

Of all the allies of the USSR, there was not a single truly tropical country, otherwise Stalin and Khrushchev would not have wanted China to grow rubber in the south. Most of the raw materials of rubber are controlled in the hands of Britain and the United States, and if the Soviet Union wants to buy it, it must go through the control of the origin of Britain and the United States, and the United States and the Soviet Union can be said to be inseparable from each other's economic system, and Britain and the United States can not worry about the neck of the Soviet Union, even if it is damaged a little, it is completely acceptable, but at present, it seems that the situation has changed a little, and the country of Indonesia is undergoing changes in favor of the Soviet Union, which Khrushchev seems to see.

"You set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Indonesia to deal with the Indonesian Army? Did you consider that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can actually deal with the Indonesian Communist Party? Khrushchev asked a key point, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite feared, otherwise Beria would not have been attacked by the masses.

"The capacity of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs is limited, and I have deduced it in detail from the sidelines, and it is difficult to act alone from Sukarno! From the very beginning, I used opposition to Bonapartism as a criterion for recruiting members, and the first enemy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the Indonesian Army! Serov did not dare to leave the slightest omission in his explanation of Khrushchev's question 1510.

Khrushchev was also satisfied with this answer, and the young cadre in front of him was the director of the General Military Administration, and he should be reassuring in judging this aspect! Speaking of Bonapartism. Khrushchev had a hidden worry in his heart, that is, disarmament was still in the making, and the Soviet space and nuclear industry had already made breakthroughs! From the first artificial satellite to the first spacecraft to reach lunar orbit, Luna-1, to the Venus probe launched this year, advances in space technology have made Khrushchev more and more convinced that the Soviet Union does not need to retain so many troops in its conventional military force. will be able to achieve a balance of power over the Americans. The rest of the money can be used for economic development.

But the problem is that the decision on disarmament is not so easy to make! It is necessary to keep the military generals from rebounding, and looking at the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration in front of him, Khrushchev asked with a test attitude, "What do you think is the attitude of the Ministry of Defense to the disarmament program?" ”

"On the surface, it should be a move in support of Comrade First Secretary! Even if there is a grievance, I will not say it! Serov thought for a moment and gave the most reasonable answer! It is wisest to choose to tell the truth on such matters.

"Even if you have a grievance, you won't say it?" Khrushchev nodded knowingly, showing a hint of sneer in a clear attitude of love and hate, "Yes, those veteran generals of the Red Army wish we would invest all our money in the development of military power." It seems to them that tanks can be eaten, and diesel can be drunk as water......"

I can't answer this sentence! With Serov's duties, if Khrushchev was ready to take action against the army, he would be willing to do the work of dogs and horses! Khrushchev was always dissatisfied with the huge size of the Red Army, and from the time of the development of the space industry and the nuclear industry, there was a sense of simultaneous disarmament, and the huge expenditure of the Soviet Red Army has always made the government's funds not optimistic, and the current Soviet Union has not been as good as it was after the discovery of the Tyumen oil fields in the 70s. While using oil profits in exchange for foreign exchange to improve the welfare system, all the money was used to develop heavy industry. Khrushchev's life was actually far less good than that of Brezhnev later.

Conditions for Brezhnev to come to power. It is already much better than Khrushchev, who took a lot of reforms with huge sequelae, but some of them did have results! Brezhnev, however, terminated all reforms because of the Czechoslovak problem, and the two leaders were diametrically opposed extremes, and Khrushchev had fired rockets. Brezhnev drove a classic car.

The biggest headache for Serov is that Brezhnev seems to be very reluctant to use young people, I don't know if it is because of the role played by Sherepin in overthrowing Khrushchev, and because of the early checks and balances by Shelepin's system, Brezhnev has no good impression of young cadres. The cadres appointed are all very old people, and he himself does not want to see unfamiliar faces on familiar occasions, and even if there are young cadres with good conditions in all aspects, Brezhnev prefers to let older cadres occupy important positions.

This is simply the way to cut off Serov, instead of Brezhnev coming up to play ********, it is better to let Khrushchev work for two more years, at least this first secretary who loves and hates is really good to young people, even if there are many mistakes, he is at least a communist, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of faith.

"Why, when we meet the generals of the Ministry of Defense, our Caspian tigers don't dare to answer? This is not good, you are the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration, and you should not be afraid! Khrushchev said to Serov in an educational tone.

"After all, they are all old marshals of the Great Patriotic War, how can I, a young man, do anything to them?" Serov didn't feel embarrassed at all, that's how it was. In front of Khrushchev, Serov tried his best to tell the truth, "The prestige of these people is too high, if I really have an opinion on disarmament, how can I, a lieutenant general, deal with it?" Of course, I will still do my best to do a good job of the instructions of the first secretary......"

Serov said this passage completely according to his original intention, those military bigwigs in the Red Army who had a good relationship with Brezhnev could not be shaken by himself and Sherepin, if you want to make these people honest, you can only let Khrushchev, as the first secretary, take the initiative to make trouble, Serov beat the side drum below, it is better to retire two!

"The idea of capitulation is unacceptable, we communists must adhere to principles, of course, you are relatively young, I can understand it!" Khrushchev made a look that he had experienced a hundred battles, from the point of view of the Soviet leaders, Khrushchev was the most like a person, and Serov had seen the human side, it is difficult to imagine that Stalin would make a frivolous expression, and Brezhnev would not have such a side.

Serov suddenly remembered, didn't he have a bunch of photos on him? He took out the photos taken from Bali and handed them to Khrushchev to take the conversation away from the topic of disarmament, "This time I visited Bali, Indonesia, and to be honest, the scenery there is really something I have never seen before!" Comrade First Secretary, come and see ......"

"Oh? Really? Khrushchev was very interested when he heard this, his time and itinerary in Indonesia were far less free than Serov, and naturally it was impossible to go to Bali to go around, but these photos immediately attracted Khrushchev, and he couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful scenery on the photos, and from time to time he exclaimed, "It's a pity, if I have the opportunity, I also want to see it, maybe I can travel there after retirement......"

Retire? Serov was suddenly stunned, just standing in front of Khrushchev, Khrushchev was also stunned! The atmosphere instantly became quite weird, "First Secretary, it's too early to talk about this issue, I hope you won't say such things in the future!" ”

"I'm just going to talk about it! There are still a lot of reforms that have not been completed! Khrushchev looked at the photo and said haha, this year's Khrushchev is 66 years old, and unlike ordinary Soviet leaders, he is really seriously considering the question of succession. Although at the moment the question of succession has only just appeared in Khrushchev's mind. But compared to other general secretaries who have always died in their positions, Khrushchev really did not prepare to die in the position of first secretary.

"Oh, glad it's just a casual talk!" Serov also breathed a sigh of relief, not because of how much he loved Comrade First Secretary, but because Shelepin did not have the strength to defeat other forces at all.

After reading all the photos that Serov had taken out, Khrushchev was very satisfied and asked, "What else do you have for this year?" ”

"Comrade First Secretary of the report, I am going to go to Italy in the second half of the year, take a specific look at the environment in Italy, and prepare to put some products into production in Italy last year! After the improvement is completed, return to China and devote yourself to society! Serov reported immediately.

"So?" Khrushchev pointed his finger on the table and pondered for a moment and said, "This year the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be abolished, and you have to cooperate with Comrade Sherepin to take over the specific work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which work should be handed over to the republic, and those jobs should be merged into the KGB, and this department, which has caused a lot of panic, should also come to the end of history......

Today this is the most important news that Serov has heard, I don't know if Khrushchev abolished the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year, but he understands that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has been split since the Beria era, will soon be reintegrated into the KGB! The KGB of the times of Sherepin and Semychasny was a huge institution that could be compared to the time of Beria. Far from the same sector that was shackled by Brezhnev.

Holding back the agitation in his heart, Serov maintained a respectful attitude and said, "Before going to Italy, I will definitely deal with domestic affairs first, and I will definitely not let the matter of abolishing the Ministry of Internal Affairs go wrong at all......"

Serov, who left the Kremlin, went directly back to Lubyanka Square 11 and exchanged the news he got today with KGB Chairman Serepin, "Retirement? Sherepin was also very surprised, and the news that Serov brought back was somewhat unacceptable. (To be continued.) )

PS: The new background won't work......
