Chapter 170: A Trip to Italy

"Kaganovich? Is it reluctant to have good medical privileges? Khrushchev snorted coldly, he did not let those who opposed him disappear forever like Stalin, this is Khrushchev's reluctance to let the Great Purge reappear! But that doesn't mean he's willing to hear these anti-others, especially Kaganovich, Malenkov, and Molotov.

Serov's report reminded Khrushchev of two issues that he hated, one was the bloc that opposed him back then, and the other was the problem of privilege that had existed since Stalin's time. Both of these problems were what Khrushchev always wanted to solve, but they have been dragging on until now! However, according to the priority of the matter, he still wanted to find a way to disarm, and these two issues had to be pushed back, and he said directly to Serov, "Since he is no longer the leader of the country, Comrade Kaganovich should not live in the hospital provided to the cadres, Yuri, why are you helping Kaganovich?" ”

"Maybe it's pitiful, his illness really needs better medical conditions!" Serov didn't know what the reason was, so he opened up to the former leader of the country. He didn't have time to perceive Khrushchev's thoughts, if he knew Khrushchev's thoughts, he would definitely laugh, corruption in any period of the Soviet Union is bullshit compared to the ********** era, even in the Brezhnev era, how can these so-called privileges ********** take the lead in embezzling state property?

"Pathetic? Yuri, do you just think of him as an ordinary old man? He's my opponent! Khrushchev suddenly said such a sentence, and he wanted to know what these young cadres said about him and these people. Although Serov may not be telling the truth, the first secretary of the Soviet Union just wanted to hear it.

"This?" Serov really wanted to wipe the sweat under the big-brimmed hat, how could such a question be printed on such a very simple thing! Perceiving the mental activity of the first secretary, Serov organized his own language and said. "We don't have a good impression of those cadres of the older generation, such as Malenkov, and this can represent our views by the statements of Comrade Shulik and Comrade Shelepin, I don't know the opinions of others, but I can say my own views on behalf of myself about your evaluation......"

Khrushchev was greatly interested. Since this year, Khrushchev has not been able to hear his assessment of himself when attending any meetings, and he is curious to know Serov's answer, "...... to keep talking"

"You are a communist who has been trying to figure out how to push the USSR to true communism!" Serov thought for a long time and said this, but the second half of the sentence is not suitable for saying, that is, your ability is far worse than Stalin's, and compared with Stalin, it is easy to let personal emotions affect the policy of governing the country, if you consider it completely from the perspective of the Soviet Union. Aiding China's industrial projects is a huge failure, let alone trying to do it again in India......

"Your evaluation is the happiest evaluation I've heard in seven years!" Khrushchev had a very happy appearance, and he did not hide his joy in front of the young cadres at all. The most humane leader of the Soviet Union usually scolded the other members of the Central Presidium for being worthless when he lost his temper, but on some occasions in private, he also behaved like a leader at all, and would be happy because of the words of others. The latter is seen by Serov today, but in the former state because he does not often see Khrushchev in meetings. So I haven't seen it yet......

"You young cadres, the fate of the future Soviets is in your hands, but some very old cadres are very hostile to you, and I think this problem lies in the old cadres, who do not have much energy to build socialism after the age of sixty, and most of them will focus on holding their grandchildren! Not everyone can always work like me......" Khrushchev first explained the views of some old cadres. At the same time, he said that he was different from them. Serov thought about it for a while, and the meaning of this should be that if you young cadres want to play a greater role, you must be consistent with the first secretary!

That's a true statement, in all fairness. Khrushchev was the best of all the leaders to young cadres, and he trusted young people more than Malenkov and Kaganovich, especially in the promotion of Sherepin and Semychasny, many of whom were taken care of by Khrushchev.

But when he thought of the enemy that Khrushchev faced, Serov also had a drum in his heart, even if he could persuade Sherepin to remain loyal to Khrushchev, but in the face of the most luxurious enemy in the history of the Soviets, he might not be able to bear it! The coup opponents he faced seemed to be powerful, but the huge bureaucratic class was not in league with these people, and Khrushchev faced the opposition of almost the entire cadre class of the Soviet Union, and the most fatal thing was that the Ukrainian faction that had always supported him defected.

The reason why Sherepin joined the camp of the coup d'état in the first place was not because he did not see the luxurious lineup of the enemy, and most of the members of the Central Committee of the country were opponents, which was exactly the same as the situation faced by **********, and the Soviet bureaucracy at that time was watching the excitement.

"The trip to Italy is very important, our policy of détente with the United States and economic and trade cooperation with friendly countries are not contradictory, and the Italian comrades have also achieved very good results!" Khrushchev was the leader of the world revolution in any case, and he was still very optimistic about the success of the changes that would be beneficial to the Soviet Union.

Serov, who left the Kremlin, was still thinking about this question, "There are still several years before the incident, and there is still time for me to think about which side to stand on!" "In fact, for Serov, if it weren't for Brezhnev's existence, there would be no doubt that he would be on the side of the coup, but Serov knew that his boss was finally cleaned up by Brezhnev, what Chairman of the Party and State Supervision Committee, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Secretary of the **********, Member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Serepin held four positions, spanning the public procuratorate, the law, the government, and party affairs, all let Brezhnev clean up, just because the first secretary was Brezhnev, No matter how many part-time jobs Xie Leping has, it's useless, someone else is the number one!

The result of the consideration is very simple, the KGB is his home, and without the KGB he is nothing! Serov has only one goal, to make the KGB a super-department independent of any system, and first of all, to solve economic problems! The merger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would increase the KGB's funding by 70 percent, and at the end of the year, Sherepin would have to compete with other departments for funding.

To bring the Soviet Union's more capable products, among them is the era of the look tall and quite capable of bluffing, in fact, in Serov's eyes is a chicken ribs, the current world unique Altai mobile phone system.

"When I retire, will I become the president of the Soviet-Italian Friendship Association and obtain the title of an old friend of the Italian people?" This is not easy, Serov has been communicating with the people of the KGB's State Communications Department these days, and the State Communications Ministry, like the KGB's Seventh and Eighth Main Headquarters, mainly classifies and identifies intelligence work at the scientific and technological level.

The communication with the Ministry of Communications of the People's Republic of China is mainly that of counterintelligence experts, and the point of communication is whether or not they can do something about the Altai system, and if Serov succeeds in popularizing this telephone system in Italy, the Ministry of Communications in Moscow can intercept the news from the Italian side.

Anyway, it is certain that it will be a fist product exported by the Soviet Union, but it is uncertain whether this technology can be used to serve the KGB. No matter how you say that the KGB is his profession, and he must do his job well at the same time to make money.

"New water dispenser, central air conditioning, new electric kettle, thermos cup, water heater, Tetris, refrigerator, electronic camera! , can the General Administration of Technology ensure that these products can be put into production? They all look pretty decent! Serov felt that he was not too good to Italy, these products are all in the photos, they have changed the scum-like appearance of Soviet products, this is a product of more than 200 scientific research institutions of the General Administration, and they have copied everything they can get into in the future, this gift to Italy is a little distressing......

"The gifts of the USSR are not so tasty, I will earn all this money back!" As the time gets closer and closer, Serov is still carrying out a not very important work, giving tickets to the Rome Olympics to advanced workers, model workers, and advanced pacesetters in various industries in the Soviet Union, and there are 350,000 tickets for various competitions, involving almost all the events of the Olympic Games, of course, Serov will not forget that his department, including all the General Directorates under the Second General Directorate, has received tickets purchased by Serov, and more than 4,000 people in the KGB alone have received tickets for the Rome Olympics from Serov, He's completely treating the Olympics ticket as a benefit......

Serov picked up Valya, who applied for leave, at the Moscow railway station, and got on the train with a delegation of more than 200 people a month in advance, "You can't do this, and it will delay the efficiency of taking the train with the delegation in the future!" It's been so long, and they're tired when they get to Rome! Valya grumbled with her coffee.

"I'll change it later, okay!" Serov's head sticks out from behind the spread out English magazine, causing Valya to roll her eyes! Even if you don't know English, you can read the magazine in the man's hand, and the bikini girl exposed on the cover is even more popular! Since the establishment of the Soviet Union, it has been much more conservative than during the Russian Empire, of course, for Valya, the two are married, which has nothing to do with conservatism, and what makes her more unconvinced is that she is obviously much better looking than the cover girl......
