Chapter 764: Ruthless Shelbitsky
The fourth-generation fighter of the Soviet standard, which was in service before the third-generation fighter of the American standard, was overtaken in a corner, and the reason for the overtaking in the corner was completely because a lot of time was saved on the airframe. The wind tunnel test www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was completed quickly, which should have been a time-consuming task. Serov knew that once this stage was passed, the two classic Soviet fighters would at least be able to protect the skies of the USSR until thirty years later, especially the Su-27 heavy fighters, which had amazing potential, were absolutely capable of maintaining the balance between the two groups for thirty years, and even because of the early service time, they could in turn oppress NATO in a short time.
Of course, this is only from the perspective of the Soviet Union, NATO countries will not feel this kind of oppression in a short time, the Soviet Union will not take the initiative to expose their hole cards, only let NATO countries slowly discover through clues, in order to play the greatest deterrent effect, they themselves found that it is more real than the Soviet Union took the initiative to expose.
"If Project 70 can be successfully completed, I believe that we will not be troubled by the US Air Force in a short time." Air Force Commander Kutakhov has been inspecting the projects of major design bureaus with Ustinov and Serov in the past few days. At present, most of the projects are progressing relatively smoothly, and the only shortcoming is the strategic bomber.
"That's what we do, we can only give them time and at the same time make sure the money is invested." Serov shrugged and said noncommittally. Project 70 is the Soviet Union's White Swan and Tu-160 strategic bombers. His knowledge of this strategic bomber was limited to paper, and he simply did not have the ability to help design with sketches.
"Theoretically, of course, we want to do it as soon as possible, but in practice, of course, it takes time to design, and the factory produces parts, which is not the hen laying eggs. In terms of time, we can afford to wait. Ustinov looked back, his gaze under the lenses was as flat as ever, he was a military engineer himself, and he would not force the design bureau to speed up the process with an executive order, and if the threat was imminent, he would do the same, and there was no such condition yet......
In the Kremlin, Brezhnev announced the arrangements for the adjustment of the work, the first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, Serest, was transferred to the post of first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR to assist Comrade Kosygin in presiding over the work of the government, and Serbitsky, chairman of the chairman of the Ukrainian Council of Ministers, was appointed first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee.
"Comrade Celest, the handling of some national issues is somewhat unsatisfactory. However, the party and the state still give full trust to an old comrade with all-round abilities like him. I personally think it is very appropriate to give full play to the role of Comrade Celeste within the scope of economic construction. Brezhnev made a very moderate proposal, "Of course, the ability and character of Comrade Shcherbitsky are also within my consideration. ”
A certain national mood that has always existed in Ukraine is known to all members of the Presidium of the Central Committee. Of course, there are quite a few complaints about this, and even Shelepin, who supported Serestist after Podgorny, is not very satisfied with Shereste's policy towards the Ukrainian nation.
Brezhnev's proposal is based on this attitude as a starting point, and I believe that it will easily win the support of the majority of the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and this is a completely reasonable proposal, and who dares to say that it is wrong to maintain domestic stability. Even if Shelepin's biggest supporter did not go out with Ustinov to inspect, I believe that he would not object, because the other side could not find an excuse to oppose it at all.
"Comrade Celeste, who has presided over the work of Ukraine for many years, will the rash transfer out of Ukraine cause a shock in Ukraine?" Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Selepin objected, "We cannot fail to think about this issue." ”
"This is the question of Comrade Shcherbitsky." Brezhnev said unhurriedly, "I believe he can handle it." ”
Since the great victory in Turkey, Brezhnev, as the general secretary, has become more and more aura, and after concurrently serving as chairman of the National Defense Committee, he has completely won the support of the military. If the previous collective leadership was a fact, the current collective leadership has become less and less binding on him, and Brezhnev can get more than half of the support with a little thought, as in this proposal.
Since he fell ill, although no one knew that he had been sick twice in a row, Brezhnev himself could feel that his body had indeed been greatly affected, and his energy was already a little insufficient. After feeling this situation, some work is accelerated, such as establishing the superiority of himself and his supporters.
"Ilyich, this is long overdue, to establish our advantage low." Kirilenko, apparently without the slightest doubt about Brezhnev's choice this time, said, "First squeeze Sereste to Kosygin and gather them together, so that the shock will be controllable." ”
"The National Congress in February next year will be the heavyweight meeting that will decide whether or not we can confirm our dominant position. Prepare well! Brezhnev said a little tiredly, "Whose line is more in line with the interests of the Soviet Union, this also needs support." ”
"What's wrong with you? Seems a little tired lately? Is it to take a period of vacation and take a break. Kirilenko said from the perspective of his comrades-in-arms, "But this time Shcherbitsky is in control of Ukraine, and I believe it is good news for us." ”
"I also believe in him, otherwise I would not have handed over Ukraine to him." Brezhnev answered the latter question of Kirilenko, and treated the former as if he did not see it. Since your second stroke is a secret, let it be a secret. His body is no longer recoverable in a vacation, and he is already very satisfied with the current situation if he can stabilize the current situation, and it is empty talk to say more.
Dnepropetrovsk has long been closed to the outside world as a secret military city, and foreign tourists are forbidden to enter the city. So, Dnepropetrovsk, with its military and industrial reserves, was in every way different from other Soviet cities. Serbitsky used to be the secretary of the Dnepropetrovsk regional party committee, although he was suppressed by Sherester for a short time, but now the struggle between the two in Ukraine seems to have come to fruition.
A little later, Kirilenko, the secretary of the Central Committee of the Secretariat, who has always been very fond of this successor, told Serbitsky through the telephone line, "A formal decision still requires a certain procedure, but basically, the general secretary and I hope that Ukraine will have greater development under your leadership." ”
"For the trust of the general secretary and the secretary of the Central Committee, I can only answer with the results of my work." Serbitsky thanked him very solemnly, and when he put down the phone, Serbitsky's face showed a little excitement, saying that it was a little, because if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't tell whether he was laughing all year round.
Moscow's discussion of Ukraine is, in the final analysis, a national policy, and Sheryst is a first secretary with a national consciousness, and he is the chairman of the Council of Ministers with a sense of Great Russoism. Both of them, although they are Ukrainians, are not a kind of people in themselves. What Moscow needs is a first secretary who will lead Ukraine to become part of the Soviet Union, not a first secretary who always wants to start anew.
This is the difference between him and Serest, and he himself understands this, and turned around and took out a long list of Sherest's supporters, in all fields, in all classes. This is the first work of Serbitsky, thoroughly clear about the soil of Ukrainian nationalists, and such a clean-up will be imperative as long as Shjereste leaves.
The Soviet Union was established and the Ukrainian Soviet Republic joined the Soviet Union as the first republics, so that the Ukrainian nation was divided into two regions: Eastern and Central Ukraine, which was ruled by the Soviet Union, and Western Ukraine, which was ruled by Poland. Polish-ruled Western Ukraine remained a backward agricultural region before the Soviet Union seized it and declared its annexation to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. The Soviet Union then carried out a socialist transformation in western Ukraine, and arrested a large number of anti-communists, which increased the tension in local society.
Ukraine's first secretary Serest, who has always taken a pacificative approach to western Ukraine, has always failed to work in this model, which finally makes Moscow feel that it should try to change the first secretary. Shcherbitsky understood that this was his chance.
Serbitsky also decided to take another approach, which was to carry out a thorough cleansing of the Communist Party of Ukraine, "Comrade Shirekov? I'm Shcherbitsky, and if we have time, we can talk. ”
He knew that Shirekov was a subordinate promoted by Serov, and that he had been in Ukraine to help Valya carry out educational reforms, and then after the education system was set, Valya returned to Moscow. And Shirekov continued to work in Kyiv. Now he is ready to test the tone of the chairman of the KGB through this person.
"That's it, Chairman, I don't see anything in Serbitsky that we can help with." Shirekov reported the meeting with Shcherbitsky on 1510.
"Got it." Shirekov's words are consistent with the report of the spies he arranged with the two of them, which proves that Shirekov is still his own person, Serbitsky's purpose, Serov understands very well that as long as Sereste leaves Ukraine, he will carry out a purge in Ukraine and send the native faction of Ukraine to prison. This ruthless man has been ruthless in history, and in a sense, what Serbitsky did was to be softer than Beria and not shot. The scope is a little smaller, limited to Ukraine, and the rest is basically the same as the original Ministry of Internal Affairs. (To be continued.) )
