Chapter 893: Preemptive Opening

During this time, Serov also had to do something more practical, and in the Grand Kremlin, he met with some people, the Soviet bigwigs of thirty years ago, Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich, Shepilov. These political enemies of Khrushchev were also not rehabilitated in the Brezhnev era, and now they are all old men.www.biquge.info

"Thirty years ago, you could kill me with a single thought. First Vice-Chairmen of the Council of Ministers. Serov didn't have any special thoughts about this group of old people, and he didn't have the idea of pretending to be forced.

A very embarrassing fact is that these political enemies of Khrushchev are in very good health, and if this group of people wins, maybe they are still in power today, so that under the cover of time, they will finally defeat Khrushchev. Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen, and being rid of it itself shows that the ability is not good.

"To cut a long story short, some historical scars need to be healed. I can restore your party membership and benefits, so that you can have a certain degree of freedom, and it is also a supervision of the party and the state. But it's not me, don't even think about it. Taking a sip of sugared black tea and motioning for little Valya to go out and pour a glass of water, Serov continued, "This is not a gesture of goodwill to you, the vote from twenty-seven years ago is enough in itself." Later, the first secretary went a little too far, and that's another problem. ”

The vote in Serov's mouth refers to the story of Malenkov leading the plenary meeting of the Central Presidium to remove Khrushchev, and Khrushchev turned defeat into victory through the plenary meeting of the Central Committee. That meeting caused a lot of far-reaching events, including the removal of Marshal Zhukov. But Serov had already dealt with that matter, and Marshal Zhukov was also very peaceful when he left.

"Does the general secretary want us to shut up and exchange our treatment for the support of some frustrated people?" Molotov asked with a flat face, "Is our opinion so important?" "Molotov was the number two man in the Soviet Union for a long time, the foreign minister, and if there were any supporters of the steel leader Stalin, people would often think of Molotov.

"Why not? Now the confrontation with the United States has reached a new stage, bridging something, gathering the greatest forces of the USSR as much as possible, Comrade Molotov, what do you think of the Great Purge? Among several Khrushchev's political enemies, Serov still paid more attention to Molotov's opinions, and for a long time, Molotov's position in the Soviet Union was one person under ten thousand people, and his position was far more solid than Malenkov's.

When Molotov heard Serov's words, he seemed to be caught in the memory of that decision, and he was in this state for a long time, and said in a very flat tone, "When Lenin was alive, there were so many incongruous and all kinds of opposition...... Someone has to be free to crack down. Thus, Stalin actually took on this problem and solved it. I thought that Stalin was basically right about this. We fully support him, and I am one of the main supporters, and I have no regrets about it. ”

Bang Bang Bang! Serov clapped his hands and commented appreciatively, "When there are enemies on all sides, a fragile emerging socialist country needs some strict means to ensure the interests of the vast majority of the people, as for a small number of people, maybe some of them are indeed wronged, but looking at today's Soviet Union, this movement is generally successful." With this basis, the USSR was able to withstand countless enemies, Comrade Motolov, what if you are also in the purge? ”

"So what? Oh, my God! I see all this from a revolutionary point of view," Molotov replied calmly, "and over the years, both before and after the revolution, I have escaped death more than once. ”

"We want to eliminate the kulaks, we want rapid collectivization, we want the peasants to obey the leadership of the state, we want to control the intellectuals, these are all necessary things, there is no mercy." Molotov's words even made Malenkov and Kaganovich a little sideways.

"It's the same as what the anti-rebels eavesdropped on your home, and it's a very real news." The eavesdropping of these political enemies of Khrushchev was arranged by Serov back then and continues to this day. But at this time, now that he is the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, he is considering the issue to escalate.

In the presence of these people, Serov issued a resolution on the restoration of Comrade Malenkov, Comrade Molotov, Comrade Kaganovich, and Comrade Shepilov to the party and all honors, and wrote his name, Serov said, "When the International Democratic Games open, I hope that several old comrades will be able to attend with me." ”

Restoring the reputation of these people is only the first step, and the person Serov really wants to restore is Beria. Quite simply, there is nothing wrong with the inevitable purge, and Beria is not guilty of at least this matter.

Serov certainly had a reason for this, many people knew that he worked in the Caucasus, very close to where Beria worked, and for a long time he was the chairman of the KGB, and in fact the work was no different from that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Beria period. Moreover, he had received help from many of the remnants of Belial.

In the eyes of many, today's general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is a successful Beria. Didn't you see that Serov is still the chairman of the National Security Council? It is impossible to erase this image Serov, so there is only one other thing to do, to repair the image of Beria and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to make his image a little better from the side.

As for the causes and consequences of the Great Purge, Serov never doubted this, it was correct from beginning to end, albeit cruel, but it ensured the basis on which the USSR came to this point. Otherwise, the Soviet Union faced the Third Reich, and it was simply another Imperial Russia facing the Second Reich, and the fate could be imagined.

"Minister Beria's family has already settled?" After saying goodbye to the political enemies of these old men, Serov turned to ask this question, this matter has to be slow, Beria and these people are different after all.

"Settled in, we're thankful." Little Valya looked up and replied, as the new general secretary, Serov has of course also formed his own Central General Office, but those people from the Central General Office? It was several deputy chairmen of the KGB plus the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who actually divided the rubyanka in half and put it in the Kremlin.

The restoration of the image of Stalin and Beria was caused by another thing, and this is something that the general secretary must have done regularly for a few years, the funeral! At the Moscow Central Hospital, the General Secretary, who came here on behalf of the Party and the state to give care to the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet and Secretary of the Central Committee Chernenko, was doing this necessary work.

Entering June, Chernenko's health deteriorated suddenly, and it is estimated that he will not be able to attend the opening ceremony of the International Democratic Games, and if Chernenko is willing to hold on, Serov will not object. Because this will only advance the day when Serov will be the chairman of the Supreme Soviet at the same time.

"The ultimate victor is you, General Secretary Serov." Chernenko, who was lying on the hospital bed, was a little weak, but he still smiled strongly, he knew that Andropov's fate had begun to befall him, and maybe he could still live for a year and a half under modern medical conditions, but it was no longer about the big picture.

"Chairman Chernenko, why can't you let it go so much?" Serov, who was flat-faced, was still sharpening the fruit with a Damascus steel knife, and he had seen it a lot on such occasions, and Khrushchev, Suslov, and many other leaders had eaten his apples. Maybe in another year and a half, Marshal Ustinov will also have this treatment.

Watching these big people die one after another, Serov also has such a little wave in his heart, everyone has such a day, but he doesn't know when he will come that day, and what it will be like when he really comes.

Of course, Chernenko was not convinced, but not now, with his current physical condition, he also understood that it was inappropriate for him to be the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but he still had some regrets in his heart, and Serov could understand it.

"Of course we will go to Red Square sooner or later, and of course it is impossible to enter it at the same time. You're just a little bit earlier than me. Serov's words were a guarantee from the side that once Chernenko died, he would follow Suslov's precedent and settle Chernenko on Red Square with the treatment of the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

It's not a big deal, but it's already a great honor for Chernenko, and he is grateful to Chernenko, who has maintained maximum restraint in the face of the Dnipro gangs that the Komsomol suffered that year.

If according to his thinking when he was the head of the secret service, these former enemies either entered the gulag or were shot directly, but Serov also grew up with the country and began to wipe the butts of successive general secretaries, and even began to give his political opponents of the same era the buttocks, maybe one day when the world revolutionary situation is very good, if he is still around, he still needs to give Trotsky a high evaluation, saying that Stalin and Trotsky only have different views, that Trotsky's death is an imperialist conspiracy, and so on......

"Let Bulgaria fly the black five-ring flag to the Los Angeles Olympics!" Bulgaria is the only country in Eastern Europe to be allowed to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, with a team of two people, a flag bearer and an athlete.

At 3 p.m. Moscow time on July 28, Serov departed from the Kremlin for the stadium by car, according to international time, Moscow time is eleven hours ahead of Los Angeles time, so the International Democratic Games will be the first to open before the Los Angeles Olympics.

"Time is such a good thing!" When Serov led the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and some of the old comrades, except for Chernenko, to the stadium, there were less than two hours before the official opening.
