Chapter 624: The Lair was almost killed
In fact, since the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Red Navy has been on a par with the British Royal Navy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info If it was not the US Navy back then, the Soviet Union would have gained more in the end when it met the navy of any country. Today, seven years later, even if the European navies are brought together, they are no longer the opponent of the Soviet Red Navy. The Soviet Red Navy had only one enemy left, and in order to cooperate with the offensive strategy of the Soviet Union, the shipbuilding speed of the major Soviet shipyards would only get faster and faster.
"When we can get Nimitz, Guantanamo will be able to use it. Now? The task of the Central Presidium is to establish in Cuba the second largest airborne force in addition to our own. Serov looked at Marshal Gorshkov's office full of models of ships, the world's second-largest navy, which had already had seventy or eighty percent of the strength of the United States in the eighties, and finally fell into the hands of the genius general secretary.
Marshal Gorshkov nodded cautiously when he heard this, the first ship of Nimitz had already started construction last year. From all kinds of information, this is a battleship unprecedented in history, and this is not good news for the rival of the US Navy, the Soviet Red Navy. It was precisely because the Soviet Union's aircraft carrier reserves were insufficient that it could only think of ways from other directions, and the reason why the Kirov-class strategic cruisers finally became missile cruisers with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons had a lot to do with the appearance of Nimitz.
Even if we can take advantage of the gap between the Red Navy and our opponents now, it is still unrealistic to catch up with the US Navy within ten years. Of course, if you consider nuclear warfare, then it is another thing to say, the Soviet Union's anti-ship missiles can be equipped with nuclear warheads, and the most powerful era of the Soviet Red Navy should actually be the nineties, in fact, the year before the disintegration, which was the era when the strength of the Red Navy and the US Navy was the closest.
"Don't say I didn't remind you, Tsvigon seems to be asking people to investigate Azerbaijan, and I heard that there seems to be some problems with the cadres over there, but Tsvigon is doing this, but it is possible that Tsvigon is doing this against your Komsomol." The voice on the phone was a little joking, full of ridicule, "Are our outstanding security cadres still feeling good about themselves?" Your nest is going to be raided, Azerbaijan has walked out of you and Shemychasne, once something happens, will you be implicated. ”
"What does it have to do with me, I don't know anyone but Aliyev. But thank you, my friend. "Serov put down the phone, Tsvigon investigates the cadres of Azerbaijan? With Brezhnev's cautious appearance, there must have been a problem with the cadres over there, and after thinking for a while, Serov dialed the phone again and told the first secretary of Azerbaijan Kochemasov the news.
"Since Zvigon is investigating, it means that there must be a problem in the area. I was watched by three vice-chairmen, one of the ministers of the interior, who could not assist you, and besides, if there was a real problem, I could not help you. Shurik's character will not either, so Comrade Kochemasov, whether you don't know anything about this matter or not, you must deal with it quickly, so that others can't attack us with this matter, the situation in Moscow is more complicated, don't let the first secretary find an excuse to replace you. Serov said in a very solemn tone that Azerbaijan is the place where he started, just like Alexey said, it is his own lair. Brezhnev must not be allowed to give the end.
But if there is a real problem, he can't do anything, isn't there a saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs? If you are broken, don't blame the other party for hacking, once this problem is manipulated by Brezhnev, Sherepin's character will definitely not stop it, and he has no ability to stop it if he wants to. He himself has a military position, but no political office, and cannot interfere in party affairs or the government. Serov also doesn't want to vote for it every day, but that's his role.
It's really interesting to think about it, the first secretary, who claims to respect cadres the most, investigated corruption when his own group was not clean, it can be seen that Brezhnev respected obedient cadres, and as for the cadres of the Komsomol who only listened to Shelepin, it was no longer within the scope of respect.
Kochemasov put down the phone, thought about it for a long time, and finally picked up the phone and said, "Let Comrade Aliyev come to see me......"
Kochemasov, who got the news of the Lubyanka, felt that the problem was serious, and he had to pay attention to this matter, just like Serov said, the whole Soviet Union was in a relatively complicated atmosphere, the first secretary was relatively weak, and the second secretary was relatively strong, on the one hand, everyone was singing about unity, and on the other hand, because of the different supporters, there would be friction among the cadres below.
This situation has not yet been felt much by Serov in Moscow, because the relationship between Brezhnev and Sherepin is still relatively harmonious, and Brezhnev also respects Serepin as the second secretary. Serov felt that there should be no conflict in two or three years, but not necessarily at the next plenary meeting of the Central Committee. In recent years, Brezhnev would have spent a lot of time making achievements and at the same time courting members of the Central Committee.
"We must ensure the purity of the cadres and stratum, which is also what Chairman Sherepin meant, of course, I may exaggerate a little about the seriousness of the problem, but in fact, the problems that should be investigated still have to be investigated, and I believe that the same is true for the first secretary, and we must systematically solve the problems in the country, which is our explanation to the entire people and 11 million party members." Serov convened the entire commissar of the Presidium of the KGB, at which the counteroffensive began.
Tsvigon only inspected one part of Azerbaijan, and Serov wanted to investigate the entire Soviet Union, not only to do so, but also to do so in the name of Brezhnev, and to set up an investigation team headed by himself, and Zinev, Zvigon, and Serokov were all deputy leaders of the investigation team, and were ready to conduct a thorough investigation of the Soviet cadres and strat.
The next day, in the Komsomolskaya Pravda, Serov's instructions were published, expressing concern for the integrity of the cadre class, and the relevant investigation teams had been formed, all of whom were Brezhnev people, except for Serov himself.
"What is Serov doing? Is it not upset that I let Tsvigon go to check Azerbaijan? After hearing this, Kirilenko said very incomprehensibly, "Is he going to shoot the entire cadre class?" After Khrushchev, the cadre class had just calmed down, and he dared to do this? ”
"He's always behaved, but who told you to go to Azerbaijan without my permission?" Brezhnev said sternly in the face of his comrades-in-arms, "You also know that the cadre class needs to be calm, and the weakening of Sherepin can wait for two years, and now we need to unite and understand?" Besides, I still need to adjust slowly to the members of the Central Committee, and now that this situation is in conflict, can you guarantee that I will win? ”
"Let Tsvigon and them take back some problems, not only to show our determination to investigate the problem, but also not to make the cadres too afraid, aren't the members of the investigation team all our people? Yura won't find out on her own, what can she find out is not what Tsvigon said? Brezhnev thought for a moment and gave orders, but he still had to support Serov's investigation, which was necessary, and he, as a first secretary, could not say that he could not do so.
Brezhnev then went to Lubyanka, praised the rigorous attitude of the KGB, and asked the security cadres to reassure them to investigate, so that the Soviet Union could maintain a good environment, and then in a separate conversation with Serov, he said in a gentle tone, "Yura, I have to say that it is very necessary to find out some problems when I and Shurik have just come to power." But I would like to see the treatment a little softer and not too impactful. If there is a problem with the cadres, we should not let the cadres of the whole country know about it, and we must not use the means of the thirties to solve the problem. ”
"Naturally, it won't be, since the first secretary said so, we will not deal with it openly, remove some incompetent cadres, and transfer the cadres who have made mistakes, and if it involves the issue of monetary interests, they will be handed over to the court for trial." Serov replied with a sense of conspiracism.
With this investigation, Serov took the investigative power back from Zvigon's hands and turned the secret investigation into an open one. Through the KGB of the union republics, a number of problems began to be systematically investigated. Investigation teams that traveled to various places set out from Moscow one after another to learn about the situation.
Such an anti-corruption storm began to sound from the Rubyanka, Serov first slashed to the oil city of Baku, which is his old nest, he did not want a problem, within a few days, three first secretaries of the municipal party committee and five first district party secretaries were dismissed, and then Aliyev began to interrogate these people, Azerbaijan, as a major oil town of the Soviet Union, is very financially abundant, so the problem is more serious, even more serious than other places.
"You think I'm too hard? Then do you know that Zvigon has already started a secret investigation, and I can maintain a good reputation by investigating it myself, and if Zvigon investigates, maybe the first secretary of Azerbaijan will be replaced now. In the face of Semychasny's accusation, Serov said unhurriedly, "Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise our lair would not have been known, but I didn't expect those guys to get together and get something done." ”
Egorechev nodded and said, "The local cadres are indeed a bit out of character, they are much stronger than us in terms of freedom. ”
"I just think that the first secretary of the municipal party committee is really worthless, 200,000 rubles? I really don't know what to say. Serov shook his head slightly, not knowing what to say, a leader in the city, this amount of corruption is really cheap. It may be that the cadres of the Soviet Union have not seen the market, and if they are allowed to go out a few times, the market may rise when they come back. Otherwise, it is better for cadres to stay in the country, and it is really amazing to see too much in the market.
The most explosive thing at the moment is not this investigation, but Raul Castro's personal letter, which says something that does not seem to be very important, that all the prisoners in Cuba from the countries of the Soviet bloc have all acquired Cuban citizenship. (To be continued.) )
