Chapter 628: Stay in America

"How many years have you been doing this?" Brezhnev pondered and asked, "This is a long-term project, and changes will happen imperceptibly, but if it succeeds, it is indeed a great threat." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Why did Brezhnev say that? It's not that he trusts the judgment of the KGB, he is a very practical person, and to draw up such a thing as a blueprint is to listen, and the reason why he believes Serov's statement is because this is what the Soviet Union is facing. The birth rate of the ethnic minorities of the Soviet Union, especially in Central Asia and the Caucasus, was always high, and the population there was only a very small part of the Russian Empire during the period of Imperial Russia, and this situation might not have been so imminent if it were not for the fact that the population of the USSR in Europe was hit hard during the Great Patriotic War, but now when he thinks about the problem of population proportions, Brezhnev is confused.

The trick of mixing sand has already been used, it has been used in Central Asia, mainly to stabilize Kazakhstan. The redivision of ethnic groups has also been used, Tajikistan was separated from the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the merged administrative regions have also been used in Ukraine. However, the fertility rate of the European region of the Soviet Union itself was not comparable to that of Central Asia and the Caucasus. The Soviet Union talked more about national integration than China in later generations, and Brezhnev felt as if he should talk to the General Political Commissar about the demographic issue, and maybe Serov had a solution.

"It should have been a few years since the Algerian War of Independence." Serov replied.

Brezhnev nodded clearly, then this year really can't be considered short. It seems that the KGB has always been very fruitful in terms of policy continuity, and of course if these policies were formulated by Serov, this is a thing of the past.

In a short period of time, Brezhnev's brain teaser was running rapidly, and when faced with such problems, he did not need to be taught by anyone, and he had his own standards for how valuable a cadre was and how to use it.

There were minorities in the Soviet Union itself, and apart from some mistakes in the division of ethnic Ukrainians, there were basically no problems, and those ethnic groups have existed for a long time, whether Moscow recognizes them or not, and they have always lived there. At this time, it was impossible for Brezhnev to learn from the tsars of the past and first clean up with the armed pioneer regiment, whose descendants are currently in the United States, and the Soviets, who profess that everyone is equal, cannot do such a thing, so they have to think of other ways.

After the meeting, Brezhnev left Serov behind to discuss the issue. Many methods have been used by the Soviet Union, and the effect cannot be said to be none, but it did not meet Moscow's expectations, and as the supreme leader of this country, Brezhnev was ready to talk to the Eye of the Union, hoping that Serov would come up with a good idea.

"All sorts of data from the USSR are in your head, and I don't believe you don't see the problem of our demographic imbalance." Brezhnev lit a cigarette and asked his own question very cryptically. The so-called demographic imbalance is far less serious than the other problem, that is, the uneven population growth in the Soviet Union, and the rapid growth of ethnic minorities.

"If we are based on the experience of our department, it is to link the house to the number of children, the more children, the bigger the house, the better, but this will put a lot of pressure on the government. Building a house requires the work of many departments of steel, cement, wood, and it is by no means as simple as talking about it, if you count it in terms of departments, in addition to the KGB, the Ministry of Defense should be able to do it, and Minister Tikunov's Ministry of Petroleum Industry can also do it, and it is difficult to say about other departments. Serov has been thinking about this problem for more than ten years, and the most obvious way at present is to link the house to the children, but if the Soviet Union does this, government spending will increase dramatically, and if you want to dilute this sharp increase in costs, you can only re-establish the Gulag and have more than one million unpaid labor in your hands to dilute the cost in this regard.

"In the past, the method was to mix sand into the local area, but this is still not as good as the growth of the local population, which is mainly due to environmental factors, so the effect of blindly moving the population to the frontier will be lower and lower. We have to find a way to move the local people out and provide more opportunities for them to leave their places and come to the European side. These people who came to Europe lost their local presence, and once we succeeded in attracting the population to Europe, we could have another advantage, so that the Slavs, who themselves made up nearly 80 percent of the country, could assimilate the minorities who came to Europe, but if the Slavs went to Central Asia, they could not do this. Serov finally finished his thinking.

In 1969, the Soviet minority made up 44 percent of the population, but if you add Belarusians and Ukrainians, it's nowhere near as bad. As long as it is guaranteed that Ukraine, the largest ethnic minority, does not have problems, in fact, the national question will not become a big problem in the Soviet Union.

Brezhnev finally discovered this, and only a few years later replaced Sherest, who was always open to the Ukrainian cultural network, and made Serbitsky, who was more tough on national issues, the number one in Ukraine, and the first thing Serbitsky did after coming to power was to conduct a liquidation of Sherest's supporters, expel five percent of the Ukrainian Communist Party members, and then implement Russification. By the time Gotu came to power, this kind of work was actually almost complete, and in the Andropov era, no one would have imagined that Ukraine would one day become a foreign country.

More importantly, no one in the world at that time could have predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union, and even the Chinese government in the early eighties believed that the United States would not be an opponent of the Soviet Union at all if it did not stand on the side of the United States. Based on its own experience, China believes that the government structure of the Soviet Union is very suitable for long-term planning, and that the United States always changes presidents, and each president has different policies, which will cause problems such as delayed timing, duplication of construction, and so on. The USSR did not have this problem, even if the USSR would fall behind temporarily, as long as the development of time, the United States would sooner or later not be an opponent of the USSR.

This assertion was true until 1985, when the United States had switched from defense to offense again, but the Soviet Union did not have any obvious disadvantage and could not see the danger of disintegration. The sudden collapse of the Soviet Union stunned the whole world, not only shocked the Western political circles, but also caused a huge impact on the Western academic circles, and was even considered the greatest shame by the Western social science circles. They asked themselves: Why did Western countries invest so much money and research efforts over the years, set up a number of research institutes and a large number of research positions in top universities, and set up so many special topics to study the Soviet Union, but not a single Western scholar made any predictions about the collapse of the Soviet Union in advance, so what went wrong with Soviet studies in the West?

There is no problem with everyone, but a certain idiot is stupid more than everyone thinks, so after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the idiot No. 1 in the sky kept explaining that he wanted to give freedom to the people, and he said to himself that he did not make a mistake at that time. But no one in all countries paid attention to him, and devoted money specifically to studying why the USSR collapsed.

How to lure the local peoples out to Europe, this is not what Serov can do, he can't let the internal affairs troops arrest people and send them to Europe, even if he wants to, there is no new Stalin to support him.

The first secretary of the Medal in front of him wanted to, but Serov did not think that he and Brezhnev had the same relationship as Beria and Stalin. I don't have Beria's deterrent power that the whole Soviet Union didn't dare to say a word, and Brezhnev was not a steel leader like Stalin, so don't compare the two weakened versions with the original.

Brezhnev will carefully deliberate the steps and then decide whether it will be carried out or not, Serov has no time to wait here, he rushes to take the blame, it's time to show the courage of the anti-workers.

At this time, the whole world had already blown up its nest, and the smuggling planned by Castro pushed the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union back to the forefront, involving people throughout Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union, and some people even said that it was planned by the Soviet Union.

"I planned it!" Serov made the explosive announcement as soon as he appeared, and the news made all the journalists very excited, and it was no surprise that the latest headline was the General Political Commissar of the Soviet State Security.

"Senior General Serov, may I ask what crimes these people are committing in Cuba?" A Western reporter stood up and suppressed his excitement and asked, he is not an American, and he only cares about whether the news is explosive. The other issues are the affairs of the United States and the Soviet Union, and it is better to fight a war of words, and the more intense the better.

"You can think of people in the group, but it doesn't matter." Serov's tone was soft, as if he were chatting with his neighbors, "You only need to remember one crime, and that is anti-Soviet, they like the free world." ā€

"The US Secretary of State called on the Soviet Union to repatriate these people, and it is not known what the attitude of the Soviet Union was." Another question was asked, and all the reporters held their breath, apparently a very important question, and they had a vague sense that the answer was unusual.

"I personally disagree, they like capitalist countries. And as far as their crimes are concerned, they will face continued trial if they return to China, so for the sake of their lives, it is best to stay in the United States. I have already spoken to the security services of the Warsaw Pact countries before I came here, and I would like you to say a word for the group of prisoners who have arrived in the United States. Serov coughed twice, looked expressionless in front of hundreds of reporters, slowly took two pills, and almost exhausted everyone's patience before saying, "Live well in the United States, dare to come back, I will shoot you......"

In an instant, the reporters of the entire venue were boiling, the latest headlines were there, and Serov, who had done all this, slowly stood up, patted the dust on the military coat, and left the place under the escort of a group of security personnel. (To be continued.) )
