Chapter 24: The Caspian Tiger
"You handed in this kind of report card after a month in office?" Before Serov came, Semychasny had imagined several expressions to reprimand, but in the end it was useless.
"The report card is beautiful!" Serov was quite satisfied with his work during this time, and did not pay any attention to whether Shemychasny was ironic!
"You've killed too many people, and you don't feel guilty at all!" Seeing Serov's indifferent thoughts, Semychasny was simply happy. During this time, Semychasny also had his own things to deal with, and he blamed Serov's actions too fast, so that Semychasny didn't even have a chance to stop it.
In fact, if it was only in Azerbaijan, it would be fine, but now the impact has reached the entire Transcaucasia, and it is no longer something that Semychasny can suppress.
"It's just a bunch of foreigners, or foreign spies!" Serov snorted, "I have the evidence, and I have the result of the trial!" Transcaucasia itself is too close to the Middle East, and the American forces in Iran are infiltrating us all the time! Kill a hundred people, I will save more people! Why should I feel guilty? ”
"That's why you're killing so many people at once!" Semychasny felt like he was speaking to aliens, and Serov, when he worked in the Komsomol, did not seem to be so ruthless. Is it like Sherepin said on the phone? Serov was born to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
"I don't understand that sending agents to infiltrate is not a light in itself, and even those countries will not recognize these spies as belonging to them!" Serov asked, "It seems that there are many people in our country who care more about foreigners than about their own people!" Those spies are useless against the enemy country, and if they don't kill them, they will still use us to raise them? Even if you let them eat potatoes every day, that's a lot of money! ”
"What if our agents are captured by the enemy? Do they do the same? "What if you do this and it reaches the enemy country, and they also attack our captured agents?" ”
"I can admit that these agents belonged to the USSR and exchanged!" Serov said in his heart that this is also a problem, "And whether it is Turkey, Iran or other American doglegs, they don't even have the courage to admit these spies, so don't blame me for killing people without blinking, they have long been abandoned by the motherland!" ”
In fact, in all fairness, Serov's ideas were actually very appealing to Semychasny, who, during his tenure in charge of the KGB, focused on reversing the image of the KGB and rescuing and exchanging captured Soviet agents. This is also the reason why Serov has a good evaluation of Semychasny, if the state requires the sacrifice of the agent, and something happens but does not rescue it, is there still anyone to do such a risky job?
"Alright, you go back first! The affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to wait for the above, this is not something I can solve! Shemychasny had a constipated expression on his face.
After Serov left, he made a phone call to Shelepin, and unless there were special circumstances, Sherepin would be at the headquarters of the Komsomol at this time.
"Alexander, what news is there from Moscow?" "I've talked to Serov, basically, nothing has come of it......"
After a burst of obviously suppressed laughter, Shelepin's loud voice came, "I knew it!" Tikunov is in a meeting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even if there is a result, at least there will be some time for us to make amends, is there any handle left? ”
"That's not true, all the files of Serov have been erased except for the trial book!" "Now if the Ministry of Internal Affairs sends someone to investigate, there will be no evidence of the existence of these people except for knowing that this incident has actually happened, unless they can find the original files from the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and the Turkish Tri-Services Investigation Bureau!" ”
"That's fine! Burn the Book of Judgment! Shereh commanded indifferently, "Semychasny, what kind of post do you think is more suitable if Serov is given a new position!" ”
"Judging from the experience of the Communist Youth League, decent positions are very suitable!" "But judging from the short experience of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it would be better to change to a place that can make him more able to toss!" It is definitely a good hand to let him go abroad to export the revolution, Alexei once talked to me before leaving, he said that Serov claimed to know the weaknesses of many countries, but it is really not good, we will first put him abroad for a few years, let him toss hard! ”
"That's what I thought, okay. If there is good news for Tikunov, this time it will be fine. If not, I can propose to Comrade Khrushchev that Serov go to Italy! Sherepin thought for a while and said, "Actually, Greece is not bad, and now Greece's problems are more tricky!" ”
"Alexander, I should have guessed what you meant! However, whether it is France, Italy or Greece, although the revolutionary forces of these countries are very strong, they are also the areas that the Americans focus on monitoring and guarding, and it is difficult for Serov to change the current situation, and according to the information of the external investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, American capital is slowly eliminating the local ** force! "Semychasny had some doubts about Shelepin's arrangement.
But the ensuing Cold War brought good fortune to Italy, opening the map of European political regions during the Cold War, you can see that Italy is located at the junction of Western Europe and the Mediterranean, and the "Iron Curtain" running through the European continent makes it the easternmost edge of European capitalism.
Under these circumstances, Italy on the rubble became one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Marshall Plan. In just four years, from 1947 to 1951, as much as $1.2 billion was exported from the United States to Italy, and at the same time, the total amount of loans provided by the Soviet Union to China was only $300 million.
On the French side, it was after the Second World War that the prestige of the French Communist Party among the people was high. After the war, the number of French ** reached more than 800,000, and Italy**, the French Communist Party is also the largest political party in France, and the same is true for Greece.
"It's so easy to solve, don't send him!" Serov held the phone, drank saliva and said, "It's too toss-up, you have to find some problems for him, otherwise he will solve it in three clicks and two clicks." Then whether we promote him or not, and promote him, then we can only change the file, and change his age to ten years older I am thinking about it! ”
At the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Minister of Internal Affairs Serov said simply, "Now that everyone knows, now the comrades present here will discuss the handling of the Minister of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan Serov." To put it simply, Serov executed all foreign spies in Transcaucasia, and this event had a great impact. Comrade Molotov also knew about it and expressed a certain concern! ”
"My opinion is very simple, as some comrades said, the executed group of people themselves are foreign spies, and there is no unjust case, it is just a matter of time!" Tikunov said categorically, "So there is no problem at all, and there is no need to deal with it!" ”
"This Caspian tiger has to be dealt with, at least to teach a lesson. In any case, such a young cadre is too cruel, and it is not a good thing after all," said Vyacheslav, the head of the personnel department, "Yes, it is true that today he is only a foreign spy killed, but I see a little bad sign, which must be extinguished at the beginning of germination!" ”
Caspian tiger? Tikunov pouted and smiled disdainfully, Vyacheslav had never spent his life in the real power department, he was just a nerd.
