Chapter 53 Preliminary Testing
The significance of this operation was to establish discipline in the Soviet garrison and to restrain the loose style. Serov, the scandal of the American garrison in later generations, did not want to happen to the Soviet Red Army, at least not in Eastern Europe. It is necessary to bring into play the potential of the other members of the Warsaw Pact, instead of the Soviet Union singled out the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, as in history, and treated the other Warsaw Pact member states as little brothers. Great power chauvinism is not unusable, but it must not be used within socialism.
"Director, this time I have won the applause of many allies, I have a Hungarian newspaper here!" Isenmodny walked over and raised the newspaper in her hand, and sat down on Serov's lap without hesitation, putting her arms around the man's neck.
Isemotny was originally adopted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Hungary that year, and there is no jerkiness in reading Magyar newspapers, "It's not a good thing that a profession like ours is always in the newspapers!" Serov, who was hugging the woman's waist, shook his head.
"That's someone else, the other directors of the General Bureau are all old men, how can my man be so handsome!" With a long sound, Isenmodny sat on Serov's body and writhed.
patted the woman's buttocks lightly, Serov pursed his lips and said with a strange look, "Was your instructor going to marry you to a high-ranking Hungarian official as an undercover agent?" Why is he so clingy when he is not very old? โ
"Didn't I want you to be happy, always with a cold face......" Isemotny shook Serov's neck constantly.
"What is this? Dealing with some pre-existing problems and correcting mistakes can also be in the newspaper? The big scene is later! Now it's just a matter of practice......" Serov took the newspaper from Isemotny's hand and smiled meaningfully as he looked at the photo on it.
To put it simply, the world is changing, and by this year Stalin has been dead for six years, and the Soviet cadre class, which once trembled under the gaze of Comrade Steel, has gradually forgotten the fear of being dominated by Stalin. Without Stalin, who suppressed them with power, the Soviet cadres were in a stable state.
Now Serov has seen the beginning of a not very pleasant change in the cadre class in a stable state.
The situation is not so bad now, as well as during the period of Khrushchev's rule. On the one hand, the current Soviet Union has not yet reached the point of gerontocracy in later generations, and the entire cadre class is still quite young. Moreover, Khrushchev has always been preparing to establish a system of retirement of cadres, that is, to abolish the system of cadres for life! From this point Khrushchev and Stalin were identical, except that Stalin had openly eliminated the opponents, and Comrade Khrushchev's methods were more gentle, using the means of retirement years and the time for the transfer of cadres to keep the Soviet cadre class from degenerating into a bureaucratic class.
The tragedy of the Soviet Union lies in the fact that Stalin, the most authoritative one, could not use iron-blooded means to stop the transformation of the cadre class, and the cadre transfer policy formulated by his successor Khrushchev was very problematic, and some posts were only given a two-year term, and a cadre was faced with the situation when the time for transfer was reached as soon as he took office, and finally the Ukrainian central representatives, the most important supporting force of Khrushchev, turned against each other, and if Khrushchev was not so eager for quick success, he would have offended all Soviet cadres in just a few years, and the term of office of the cadres would have been appropriately extendedPerhaps the Soviet Union would have succeeded in abolishing the system of cadres for life in the sixties, and Brezhnev and Serepin would not have won the support of the majority of the Central Committee deputies in a short time and abolished the post of General Secretary Khrushchev.
In Serov's view, Khrushchev was naturally too far behind Stalin in terms of ability, but in this point of abolishing the cadre life system, he was definitely a qualified communist fighter and a legitimate heir to Stalin. There were many problems in the Soviet Union, but when it comes to the most serious problems that led to disintegration, the cadre tenure system is definitely the most serious one.
After 18 years of the Brezhnev period, the cadre class, which was quite young in the 50s, slowly degenerated from a normal cadre class into a bureaucratic class composed of old men in the 80s. The communist ideas in the hearts of these cadres who have been in their respective posts for 20 years have finally disappeared without a trace with the passage of time, and when they are not far from leaving the world, they have finally begun the final step of transformation, turning the state-owned property they have occupied in their work for decades into their own legal property.
At that time, a huge bureaucratic stratum had been formed throughout the Soviet Union, and the cadres with ideals in their hearts wanted to stop all this and defend the country's property, but they found that they did not know when they became a minority, and the bureaucracy, which was ready to smash public ownership and swallow up the wealth of the Soviet people, became the real majority. They easily defeated the counterattack of the cadres defending socialism, ignored the polls of the Soviet people who wanted to preserve the socialist system, cleanly dismembered their own motherland, and began to practice their own capitalism on the corpse of the motherland.
There is no doubt that according to the normal historical development, after Brezhnev came to power, according to his moderation style, he would definitely re-establish the cadre tenure system to consolidate his position, especially under the pressure of the powerful forces of the Sherepin faction in the early stage, it was definitely Brezhnev's choice to unite with other forces.
In fact, subconsciously, even if it is Sherepin, Serov does not recognize it very much in his heart, he has no doubts about Sherepin's style and ability, but to say that Sherepin is a communist? Serov still has reservations.
This time, letting the First General Bureau and the Third General Bureau cooperate to clean up the problems of the Red Army can only be regarded as a little monster training. The first is to test the power of the KGB directorates to work together, and the second is to accumulate experience for himself to launch a campaign in the future.
"If I am faced with a large number of bureaucrats who want to embezzle people's property, why is the first word in my mind always ะะพะปััะฐััะธััะบะฐ?" Looking at the gradually gray sky, Serov shook his head vigorously, it was too unlucky.
On May 23, Serov took the reports of all the representatives of the garrison to the headquarters of the Stasi and handed them all over to his GDR counterpart, "I have done what I promised, criticized and warned about the minor frictions, some of the soldiers have apologized to the local population, and the soldiers involved in criminal offences have been handed over to the local GDR Internal Affairs Bureau!" โ
Markus Wolf looked at the reports one by one, suddenly stood up and said solemnly as never before, "Comrade Serov, I personally thank you!" โ
"It is I who should apologize to the German people, things should not have happened in the first place, and an inventory may not be able to solve the problem, I am ready to let the garrison representative of the Third General Directorate be directly responsible to the GDR, and in the future, German residents can directly complain to the garrison representative of the Third General Directorate when they encounter disputes with the Red Army, hoping that this will make the Third General Directorate and the Red Army units no longer have entanglement of interests, but there may be a little problem!" Serov frowned and said, "Maybe you Germany will have to pay another fee to open an extra salary for the agents of the Third Directorate of the Western Cluster......"
