Chapter 263: Marshal Yeremenko

Marshal Bagramyan's study is not big, the most eye-catching may be a painting of himself, Marshal Bagramyan wearing the uniform of the marshal looks straight ahead, the workmanship of the oil painting is very delicate, just like Marshal Bagramyan himself on the battlefield, as one of the few minority generals among the marshals of the Soviet Union, he has a completely different mind from other marshals, and his promotion trajectory began with the famous defeat of the Battle of Kiev, probably for this reason, Therefore, Marshal Bagramian never talked about war every day, like other Soviet marshals.

"Yuri is here!" Baghramyan glanced at Serov with some complications, and introduced softly, "Sit down, this marshal is my old friend, my classmate Marshal Yeremenko, the director of the Ministry of Defense!" ”

"Hello, Marshal Yeremenko!" Serov took off the brimmed hat on his head and bowed his head to say hello, Marshal Yeremenko's appearance seemed to Serov a bit of a fighting face, no matter what time it was, it was so serious. In the eyes of other generals, this marshal is the embodiment of never say die, no matter how strong the enemy's strength is, as long as he needs to go to the battlefield, Marshal Yeremenko dares to apply at any time, if it is described as the spirit of the bright sword, it should be correct.

After greeting Serov, he sat silently on the side, the relationship between Bagramian and Marshal Yeremenko's classmates, Serov had seen from the archives of the headquarters of the General Directorate of Military Administration, and it was not a secret in itself. The two of them were classmates in the advanced training course for command personnel at the Leningrad Higher Cavalry School, and of course it was not only the two of them, as the later star generals, they were not the only two of them who later became marshals of the Soviet Union, the other two marshals were Marshal Rokossovsky, who is now in Poland, and Marshal Zhukov, who had just retired, that is, four of the dozen marshals of the Soviet Union were classmates.

"Yuri! I asked you to come here today to ask you about the General Administration of Military Administration! Marshal Bagramian said with some difficulty, "Do you know that the actions of the General Directorate of Military Administration have caused great dissatisfaction? ”

The concern in Marshal Bagramian's demeanor was palpable. Serov could clearly feel this, "Uncle Bagla Miyan, I understand this! But I can't help it! Serov stood up helplessly, his gaze wandering between Marshal Bagramian and Marshal Yeremenko. The Ministry of Defense, under the leadership of Marshal Zhukov, disobeyed the orders and recommendations of the General Secretary, and even ignored them! The self-will of the Red Army was too serious, and I understood that these generals were a valuable asset to the Red Army, but they made the wrong choice. No matter how good these generals are, this one disadvantage alone is enough for them to retire......"

"I have no objection to your KGB cleaning up Marshal Zhukov's subordinates!" Marshal Yeremenko, who had not spoken, spoke, "But you have checked so many people at once, and these people are all Bonapartists? ”

It's better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go! Serov almost uttered Lao Chiang's famous words, but fortunately he quickly changed the sentence, "The route is different, the more knowledge, the more reactionary!" The Red Army does not need generals who are too egotistical, I am purging these people on order, Marshal Yeremenko, please remember that it is not a good thing for the soldiers to be too self-conscious. When do you remember that the party commands the gun......"

"Yuri, Yeremenko is also distressed about the combat effectiveness of the Red Army, and he is not on Zhukov's side!" Marshal Bagramian felt that the conversation between the two sides was a bit gunpowdery, and began to play a round and said, "I have no problem with Yeremenko about the work of your KGB, but I still hope that you will not expand this matter!" ”

"I know, Uncle Bagrami Young! It's just that this matter is not up to me, and I am also carrying out it according to the order of the Presidium of the National Security Council! Serov said as if he couldn't help himself. I followed the process to hand over suspicious people to No. 11 Lubyanka Square, and what kind of treatment these generals received is actually not in my hands......"

"That's fine...... Marshal Bagramian said with a smile, "Actually, Yeremenko and I don't mean anything else today. It's just a matter of asking about the process, Yuri, if there are too many people in one wave, not only will it cause damage to the combat effectiveness of the Red Army, but your personal life and premise may also be affected, and your father was still very young when he died in battle. You don't have a brother, so you should pay more attention to your own safety......"

What's wrong with my security? Serov was shocked in his heart, is he not afraid of death ready to do it to himself! During the Soviet period, the death of KGB officers with the Red Army system was unknown, but I have never heard of the death of high-ranking KGB cadres at the hands of the Red Army, and even such rumors have never appeared, so they will not be so unlucky to appear in themselves, right?

Seeing Serov bowing his head and contemplating, Marshal Bagramian knew that he wanted to be crooked, in fact, he meant not to turn into Yezhov and Beria's group of people who would be attacked by a group in the future, not that someone wanted to assassinate Serov.

"Yeremenko, you can stay here for a meal too!" Marshal Bagramian patted his stomach and said, "We don't have much time to get together now, let's have time to eat today and then leave......"

Marshal Bagramian himself had no opinion on the actions of the Central Committee, and it was quite normal to empathize with Khrushchev's actions. It was only because of the large number of generals under investigation that he could not withstand the request of his classmate Marshal Yeremenko and called Serov to his home to talk.

Serov had the privilege of having dinner with the two marshals today, and after Valya brought the borscht, the last dish was a very famous dish in the Soviet Union, potato goulash! Potato beef stew became a well-known dish because of Khrushchev's joke, and later appeared frequently in the Sino-Soviet polemics, but without delaying the taste of potato beef stew, Serov, who was not interested in beef and mutton, has gradually been assimilated in recent years, and now feels that this dish is still quite good.

Wiped Valya's hands, Serov turned sideways and let his wife serve the table, if it were a normal situation, the current Serov should be eating without raising his head and not opening his eyes, but today's situation is slightly different, Serov's family itself is a guest, and there are two marshals present, and the most important point is that Marshal Baglamiyan's house has no chopsticks......

"Little Yuri, is it usually Valya who feeds you?" Mrs. Bagramian laughed, "How do you look at you, what is inflexible with a fork?" ”

"Auntie, Yuri eats with a spoon at home!" Valya hurriedly said, "He said it saves time to eat with a spoon!" It's too hard to take a bite with a fork......"

"That's a peculiar habit, giggle!" Mrs. Bagrami Young covered her mouth and smiled kindly.

Valya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention peculiar, Serov usually eats with chopsticks when he is at home, at least Valya has changed a few units, and has never seen anyone else eat with chopsticks in the Soviet Union. Under the influence of Serov, Valya's family uses chopsticks very slippery, and no one believes it.

After the meal, Yeremenko refused Marshal Bagramyyan's offer and went home early. Valya helps Mrs. Baglamiyan clean up the table, causing a burst of compliments that Yuri's wife is perfect, beautiful, and hardworking......

My ears are a little hot! Obviously praising his wife, Serov was even more embarrassed than Valya, as if praising himself, "I heard from the comrades of the MiG Design Bureau that you just visited their test flight base two days ago, how is it?" Tell us how you feel! "Although Marshal Bagramian was the commander of the army, as the deputy minister of defense, he commanded all the arms of the Soviet Union, and he adopted an equal attitude towards all armaments, and he also had a great say in the fighters of the Territorial Defense Force and the Air Force.

"I mainly went to inspect the KGB's defense work in the MiG Design Bureau, but I did see a new fighter!" It just so happened that Serov had been thinking about this incident all along, and when he heard Marshal Bagramian being interested, he hurriedly said, "MiG-21 fighters, I just took a cursory glance!" But by feeling it, I know that in the face of the American ghost fighter plane, it will definitely not fall behind, and the most important thing is that this new fighter is simple to operate and not difficult to maintain, and can perfectly meet the needs of our Soviet Union! ”

"At present, our Ministry of Defense is studying how many such fighters will be produced!" Marshal Bagramian said lightly, "The generals of the Air Force also have their own opinions, but the Territorial Defense Force doesn't seem to be very interested in the new fighter you are talking about!" ”

The dispute between the Territorial Defense Forces and the Air Force in the mouth of Marshal Bagramian was slightly understood by Serov. The fact that the Soviet Union's air power was completely divided into two parts was also created during World War II. The strategic bombing of Germany and Japan by the United States strategic bomber group in the latter part of World War II caused a great deterrent to the Soviet Union, the other participating party at that time, and was driven straight into the Luftwaffe at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, which had a great impact on the air power of the Soviet Union.

Because of the threat of the United States' strategic bomber group after the war, the Soviet Union divided its air power into two and mobilized a lot of resources to form the Soviet Territorial Defense Force to deal with the United States' strategic bomber group. (To be continued.) )
