Chapter 938: Eurasianism
Even if you need to fight fires abroad, you don't have to worry about it at home. Pen ~ Fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info This is not such a thing as a mass incident among the Soviet people, this kind of thing can be quelled by any of the several members of the general secretary's anti-rebellion cadres who stayed in Moscow.
Instead, there is a contradiction at the top, a contradiction between two cities and two regions. Actually, there are three, about the relationship between the three cities of Moscow, Leningrad and Sovietgrad, which also involves regional contradictions. Who said that there would be no regional contradictions in the leadership? From the change of the world pattern on the earth to the increase in the price of vegetables, there are reasons to spray. Getting along with people is not a green website, and everyone can't like it.
"It is the contradiction between Romanov and Grishin, among which is the position of Kharazov." Serov, who was sitting on the plane, pinched his somewhat stiff neck with his hand, looked at Shcherbitsky and said, "If you are added to this, it will be lively." β
"I am the first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, not the first secretary of the Kyiv municipal party committee." Serbitsky yawned and said, "Old, I won't get involved in your Moscow affairs, the Soviet Union needs me to do my best, but I won't get involved in the conflict of interests." β
What do you call Moscow? Serov was not very satisfied with this attitude, but now is not the time to tear up, the contradictions between Moscow and Leningrad have been coming from a long time, from Imperial Russia to the Soviet Union, all the way to the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Leningrad, originally known as St. Petersburg, was the capital of Imperial Russia until World War I. Moscow is not as equal as the imperial capital and the magic capital in front of Leningrad. The magic capital is just a rising star in front of the imperial capital, but Moscow, the current political center of the Soviet Union, in addition to being the current capital, is at a disadvantage in all economic, cultural, and historical aspects, which is very embarrassing.
The importance of Leningrad led to the creation of the Leningrad Group. So far, it has appeared three times. Stalin's close comrade-in-arms, Kirov, the Leningrad group led by Zhdanov after World War II, now Romanov.
If the Ukrainian bloc always succeeded in storming the Soviet leadership, then the Leningrad bloc always played the loser closest to success. All three shocks to the top leadership failed, more than the security cadres of the KGB. From Beria to Sherepin, the Soviet security cadres failed only twice.
The Leningrad leadership has repeatedly failed, and Moscow's role has been indispensable. Successive leaders of Moscow have made it their first task to snipe the Leningrad leader and become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. For many years, when Serov saw the most harmonious between the two cities, it was during the years when Sherepin was dominant, because the first secretaries of the municipal party committees of the two cities were both secretaries of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League when Sherepin was the first secretary of the Communist Youth League.
In just a few years, after the two were replaced, the relationship between the two cities returned to normal. Muscovites are full of superiority and are always a little condescending to all outsiders, including Petersburgers. The Petersburgers, on the other hand, called Moscow the "Great Villageγ...... They consider themselves to be the owners of a rich cultural and historical heritage, more learned and educated.
"Let Comrade Harazov come here." Serov got off the plane and went directly back to the Kremlin, Kharazov was the original second secretary of the Communist Party of Lithuania, and at present, if there are any friends of Sherepin who have not been killed by Brezhnev, except for Serov, Kharazov is the only one.
Under normal circumstances, Moscow is able to suppress Leningrad's discontent, after all, there are favorable conditions in the political center. However, the change came from another city, Constantinople, which Russia had never controlled in history, and is now called Sovietgrad.
Another role was played by Sovietgrad, a city less than twenty years after its incorporation into the Soviet Union, with a similar environment to Leningrad. It's just that one in the south and one in the north will jointly attack Moscow this time. This made it somewhat difficult for Grishin to parry, and the development of Soviet Grad was supported by the whole Soviet Union, and now it was on a par with Leningrad. In the face of some rules and regulations in Moscow, they are also very dissatisfied.
"The regional contradictions are still so scratching heads, and it is even more complicated for you Soviets to get involved." Serov asked little Valya to get a cup of black tea, he drank his own water, and said lazily, "I believe that Grischen must be in a bad mood now." β
"General Secretary, you also know that with the geographical location of Leningrad and Sovietgrad, it is normal for the latter to come to the top." Kharazov and Serov have known each other for a long time, so they communicate bluntly.
"I understand, but politically, I have to be on the side of Grischen." Serov shrugged and said, "We are not a completely European country, it was Siberia that gave us the resources for confrontation with the United States." Eurasianism and the culture of the Eastern Roman Empire are compatible, and I believe that you, as the first secretary of the Sovietgrad, can understand the meaning of the double-headed eagle. β
"Europeans have always believed that we are not part of Europe, and only in recent years have they recognized that this has something to do with our national strength. Only when the old imperialists in Western Europe ask us can they think of European unity. Serov snorted coldly, "We don't need to beg them, the Soviet Union is a European country and an Asian country, and we have to take care of the affairs of the entire Eurasian continent." β
No city can take the place of Moscow, the capital of the USSR, Leningrad the capital of Imperial Russia, and the birthplace of the pro-Westerners, not to mention the Soviets, which have always been averse to religion.
Not long after, the first secretary of the Moscow city party committee, Grishin, and the leader of Leningrad, Romanov, came to the Kremlin. The general secretary first angrily rebuked the Romanovs and Kharazov, and did not hesitate to take the side of Glishin. He was the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and had to defend the program that was most beneficial to the Soviet Union.
After the angry rebuke, it is necessary to return to the official question, that is, the restrictions on Moscow in the two cities, "If you want to emigrate, Russia does not, you can go to the union republics in Central Asia and find a way." β
If the policy restrictions are not lifted, we can only postpone this discontent, and when Leningrad and Soviet are full-fledged, they will attack Moscow in the future. This is unavoidable, Los Angeles and New York in the United States, and the magic capital and imperial capital of China all have this kind of management, and the Soviet Union can suppress this discontent forever through administrative power? It's simply impossible.
"The USSR is the USSR, we stand on the planet and do not need to think about the boring question of whether we are European or Asian. Europe and Asia were under the consideration of the Soviet Union. The headline of the Komsomolskaya Pravda the next day can be regarded as pouring cold water on the tearing of several big cities.
The Soviet delegation had just left France, and Reagan's trip to France was about to begin. Reagan will visit Britain, France and Germany, and while Serov was in France, Reagan was in London to support Margaret Thatcher. After Serov returned home to fight the fires, Reagan began his visit to France.
"The strategy for the Cold War is, we win, they lose." Before leaving London, Reagan said to Margaret Thatcher.
However, when Reagan arrived in France, he was greeted by a wave of protests, because Reagan wanted to deploy neutron bombs in Europe to deal with the Soviet tank army, which France firmly opposed. For many years, France has been pulling NATO back, prohibiting any deployment that will increase tensions in Europe, and the USSR warns the United States if it does not listen.
As soon as the United States revealed its intention to deploy a neutron bomb, France immediately expressed its resolute opposition and instigated countries with which France had good relations to oppose it, and an overwhelming wave of protests spread throughout Western Europe.
The Federal Republic of Germany and France were on the same page on this matter, and before Reagan could reach Germany, the protesters in the Federal Republic of Germany had already taken to the streets, and the Germans had a simple idea, they would rather be threatened by Soviet tanks than by Soviet nuclear missiles.
The Soviet Union has stated on several occasions that the deployment of neutron bombs by the United States is nothing more than an attempt to break through the restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons, and that no matter how nice the United States says, the Soviet Union will respond with nuclear bombs and will not pay attention to the US quibbling about the scope of application of nuclear and conventional weapons.
"In this matter, we must pull France, we would rather be threatened by France's nuclear weapons, and let the American neutron bomb stay away from us." Serov said to Foreign Minister Gromyko, "Wherever Reagan goes, we will protest." β
The facts are so clear, the Soviet Union would rather endure the threat of France than let the United States threaten itself, and the attitude of the Soviet Union was clearly accepted by French President Francois Mitterrand, and this time France became the biggest stumbling block for the United States.
During the days of Reagan's visit to France, he was protested wherever he went, as the Soviets thought. The so-called personal charm and speech ability can't be brought into play. First of all, the French do not understand English, and secondly, the French press did not package Reagan. Without packaging, Reagan's charisma could not be brought into play.
Without the packaging of the media, what a great leader, Reagan was not as charismatic as the big spy boss who had just left France. At least during Serov's visit, the French media unanimously believed that the friendship between France and the Soviet Union would be the cornerstone of world peace.
In the midst of a wave of protests, Reagan arrived in the Federal Republic of Germany, where he could still see a sea of protesters protesting Reagan's attempt to deploy a neutron bomb in the Federal Republic of Germany.
"Put a tweeter on me and surround West Berlin, Reagan dared to come to West Berlin, and I couldn't let him go in for a speech." Through a certain senior Stasi agent, the Soviets immediately made targeted deployments. When the president of the United States encounters a problem, he often goes to West Berlin to make his presence felt and show his bravery. Reagan was an actor, so it was no surprise that he thought of this trick.
