"If the general secretary of the Communist Party, Kanhar, had been wiser, he should have seized the opportunity to annex the Socialist Party at once, and if he had seen the rapid expansion of the Socialist Party in a month, he should have done so. The Socialist Party www.biquge.info has lost its leader, has no leader, has no time to precipitate, and is now very easy to defeat. Serov thought for a moment and dialed Andropov's phone.

For a whole day, the two men discussed how to merge the entire left-wing force under the banner of the Portuguese Communist Party, and finally Andropov said meaningfully, "Suarez's death ......, forget it, I shouldn't have asked this question." ”

"I only do what is good for the country!" Serov also did not answer the question directly, and there was tacit understanding between the two.

Then the CPP's leader, Álvaro? Kanhar and another CPP minister's Avalino? Gonsaves issued a statement condemning the assassination, which took place at a time when Suárez was giving a speech on Portugal's march towards socialism, and the timing of the assassination was reminiscent of that of the right-wing parties, even if everyone had no evidence, and the killer was not caught.

The people of the revolutionary period were unreasonable, and Portugal immediately gathered more than 100,000 people to march to demand that the government strictly investigate the murderers, and the left and right forces clashed fiercely, but because the Socialist leader Suarez had just died, the supporters of socialism became powerful and won the conflict.

Then things took a turn for the worse, and the Portuguese Communist Party announced a merger with the Portuguese Socialist Party, which of course was quite a matter of criticism within the Socialist Party, and it was more appropriate to annex than to merge. The difference in strength between the two parties was very obvious, but in this case the Socialists could not resist, and the only prestigious party leader, Suarez, had already been assassinated. They also need the Communist Party to help Suarez get justice.

The Socialist Party agreed to the merger for another reason, and that was the declaration by the Portuguese Communist Party that the Armed Forces Movement was the guarantor of democracy. The CPP, Carvajo, Vasco? General Gonzavis developed a close relationship with the other members of the Committee of Seven. The Armed Forces movement was now the most important decision-making body in Portugal. The leadership of the Armed Forces movement is in the hands of a twenty-member executive committee, the decisions of which are usually approved by a congress of two hundred and forty deputies.

The Committee of Twenty includes the Chairman and six other members of the National Salvation Committee, five military ministers (the Prime Minister, two non-care ministers, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Labour) and the commander of the "armed intervention" group, Odíro? Saleva? Morality? Calvajo. Throughout the revolutionary period, the leaders of the "armed intervention" group assured that they would eventually arm the working class.

Because the Portuguese Communist Party had already exerted a great influence on the military, and the Socialists knew the importance of establishing ties with the military, the Socialists finally relented and agreed to merge with the Communist Party and continue their activities under the name of the Portuguese Communist Party, after the party leader Suarez had been assassinated.

"We still overestimate the discipline of the Second International, whose knees are as weak as their predecessors, and who always compromise whether the Communist Party threatens them or the bourgeoisie threatens them. Therefore, we should keep a clear distance from the Second International, so as not to be influenced by them. Serov disdainfully commented on the ancestors of the white left in later generations, and originally he thought that the Socialist Party would have to resist it, whether it was against the Communist Party or the right-wing parties in Portugal, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly.

The CPP's choice to cooperate with the armed forces movement and the seizure of La Repubblica, the organ of the Socialist Party, was tantamount to the integration of all the pro-socialist forces, at least now it is clear that there is no Socialist Party to divert the supporters of the Communist Party, which is equivalent to a basic plate that can be more united against the other bourgeois People's Democratic Party.

If it had not been for the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union, even if it were a Portuguese civil war, the Communists would have been able to win with great certainty. However, since neither the United States nor the Soviet Union will be watching, it is better not to break out into a civil war, for the Iberian Peninsula, the bloody civil war in Spain forty years ago is not a good memory, and the United States and the Soviet Union do not want to oppose Portugal in a clear position.

The United States, which had just returned from a major defeat in Vietnam, could no longer forcibly send troops to support it in disregard of the will of the people, and if the Soviet Union wanted to support, it would first have to solve the millions of NATO soldiers in front of it.

simply solved a hidden danger in advance through an assassination. From the point of view of the Soviet Union, Serov hated the Socialists of the Second International, who had forgotten the most basic thing of a socialist movement, the spirit of resistance. It is always a compromise to solve the problem, and it is very easy to be bought. The result of the rampant white left in Europe in later generations had a lot to do with these traitors who endorsed the capitalists.

"Yes, Chairman, but the Trotskyites are not easy to solve, and they continue to incite the revolution." The head of the First General Directorate, Morikin, stood aside, waiting for the chairman's order.

"That's not something we can do, let Pravda deal with them." At the thought of the Trotskyists, Serov instantly felt a lot bigger, this group of believers in the world revolution, because of the intervention of the Soviet Union in the May storm, gained a lot of voice in France, and the momentum was much greater than in history, and now as soon as they saw the revolution in Portugal, they immediately flocked to it.

If the Second International always compromises, the Fourth International is too radical and demands world revolution at every turn, and in their eyes it is easier to make a world revolution than to drink water, and the Communist Parties of all countries are similar to the Second International in the eyes of Serov, who said that the Second International was a traitor, and the Fourth International considered the Soviet Union a traitor.

But now is the time of the revolution, and it is better to keep these people than to keep the Socialists, and there will be a chance to clean them up in the future.

Goryunov and Meshatsev are more skilled in doing this kind of thing than themselves, and he Serov is still a little self-aware, and he does not have much attainment in these theses on Marxism-Leninism, and in the eyes of others he is a security cadre, a very dangerous security cadre.

"Coming back?" Back at home, Yelena and Valya were chatting on the sofa, and when they saw their men coming back, they came over one after another, one took off his hat and the other helped to take off his coat, which made the general political commissar's heart suddenly alarmed, and his body stiffened. Receiving such a good treatment all of a sudden, he felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"Well, you guys? Forget it, I'm going to see if my daughter is doing her homework. In addition to the two women in the villa, there are only two daughters left, and his sons live in the school, and it is difficult for him to explain the question of Yelena's identity when there are too many people in the family. Only the eldest daughter is more sensible and can understand, while the younger daughter is not sensible and can't understand the relationship at all.

"What is Yulia doing?" Serov went upstairs to the door of his daughter's room and shouted first, and then slowly pushed the door open, the eldest daughter was his pride, and she was writing hard under the lamp, without disturbing her daughter, he sat aside and waited.

After a while, Yulia, who had grown into a big girl, put down her pen, tilted her head and asked, "Father, the political teacher always says that we are bound to win, but you also said that the capitalist camp is stronger than us as a whole, since this is developing at the same time, they have a large population, and the local development speed is larger, won't our country always lag behind?" ”

"You don't feel it obvious in school because our country has eliminated wage differences, but once you go out into society, you students will know that we are only exterminating superficial classes, and classes have always existed, but they need to be carefully observed to find out in the Soviet Union. At the same time as taking political classes, in fact, if the conditions are possible, your mother should find a way to send out a group of students every year to go to ordinary countries to experience it, but unfortunately the cost is too great, so you can only wait until later. Serov shrugged, the KGB had money, but it couldn't send millions of students abroad a year to experience the Third World.

"Father, you digress, I'm asking how we can defeat the capitalist camp." Yulia smiled very seriously, reminding her father that she wasn't asking the question.

"Oh, that's off-topic, isn't it?" Serov snorted, and said with a rare old face in front of his daughter, "That's it, Yulia, I'll tell you a story, the story of the reforms of the Gracchus brothers in the late Roman Republic." ”

In the expectation of his daughter, Serov told the story that two thousand years ago, when the Roman Republic entered the late period, a large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of a few manor owners, who used slaves to reduce production costs, and a large number of peasants lost their land and sold themselves into slavery because of the competition with the manor owners. The Roman army was threatened. The Gracchus brothers, who were of aristocratic origin, introduced a reform policy that required the limitation of the land area of the lord of the estate, a reform that touched the interests of the nobles of the Senate.

Eventually, the Gracchus brothers were killed by the Senate. The citizens of Rome lost the means to defend their interests through legal means, and the life of the Roman Republic began to countdown.

"The Gracchus brothers just want to limit the rights of some of the senates and give ordinary people some way to live. He was killed, and then Caesar, who was also of noble origin but had the same ideas, forgave the Senate, but he was also assassinated, and when the Senate thought that all threats had been eliminated, the people who buried them finally appeared, and the successive assassinations had made the ancient Romans lose hope, and at this time they rallied around Octavian and eliminated all the nobles of the Senate. Serov hugged his grown daughter and said, "The story of the Gracchus brothers has appeared in our time, do you think the death of the Kennedy brothers is very similar." ”

"The ruling class will not relent, it is impossible to expect them to restrain themselves, killing a few people is just postponing the problem, they will expand their territory indefinitely, and in the end it will make ordinary people unbearable, so we will win." (To be continued.) )
