Chapter 1 The Red Flag is familiar

Next Chapter

"Great Russia, a permanent union. Independent republic, formed by free association. The will of all nations, the establishment of the Soviet Union, unified and strong, for thousands of years! "Who am I? Soviets? Chinese? Xie Jie? Yuri Efimovich Serov? It's 2015? No, it's 1953! Yes, I used to be Shejie, and now I am Yuri Efimovich Serov, the first secretary of the Communist Youth League of Azerbaijan.

When the unbreakable alliance came to an abrupt end, Serov walked to the window and pulled the orange-yellow curtain open, and at this moment, the blood-red banner instantly occupied Serov's eyeballs. This flag is so familiar, its meaning, shocking the world! In his previous life, he still lived in a socialist country, but by that time the Soviet Union had already collapsed, and his homeland had taken the place of the Soviet Union and became the object of painstaking defense by the country that claimed to be the beacon of democracy and the hope of mankind.

"Soviet, Socialist, Union!" Serov broke down the name of the Soviet Union into completely separate vocabularies word by word in weird Russian. The Soviet Union is Serov's current homeland, this is true, in the face of this fact, Serov's heart is very mixed, as a Chinese, mentioning the name of the Soviet Union, he does not know whether he should love or hate in his heart, perhaps the word love and hate is the most appropriate.

The country protected its nascent republic and tried to escape U.S. nuclear blackmail. This country, it has given assistance to the republic in 156 industrial systems. It has categorically refused to contain the republic, saying that the development of nuclear weapons by the republic is an internal matter of the socialist countries. But just a few years later, it became the greatest threat to the Republic, with millions of troops on the border, armored troops claiming to enter the capital of the Republic in a week, and the United States was in a different position to take a surgical attack on the Republic.

If the Soviet Union and the Republic had not parted ways, the Soviet Union could have transferred 1.2 million troops from the eastern border to the Western Front, and one can imagine how much pressure it would have put on NATO. The republic, on the other hand, could easily cut the 7 million People's Liberation Army in half and focus on economic development. Even if the army is not reduced, the extra four million troops will be thrown elsewhere, and the whole world will tremble. Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and the two countries have paid a heavy price, one is the party and the country, and the other is obscure.

The soft sunlight shines gently on Serov's face through the bright red flag, and Serov closes his eyes, as if receiving the baptism of the soul, as if asking himself, what do you want? For a long time, Serov opened his eyes, there was no trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he was swearing to his soul, "From Stettin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, from the Arctic Circle to the South China Sea!" The Iron Curtain, not just the USSR! The red flag will be planted all over the earth! ”

"What time is it?" Although Serov had this question, he did not go out and ask in a fool's errand, picking up the newspaper on the table, which could clearly understand the information he wanted. The huge title shook Serov's mind, US imperialism was no longer able to continue the Korean War! The question of the exchange of prisoners of war is nothing but a delay in the coming of peace! Date of registration is February 24, 1953. Serov frowned, his eyes fixed on the date, if memory serves, in a few days with the title of Iron Leader, Stalin, the undoubted ruler of the Soviets, will die suddenly. With the death of Stalin, the Korean War would soon end, and the republic would be forced to accept an unfavorable scenario as for the exchange of uniforms in the newspapers.

In the Korean War, the United States and the nascent republic faced each other, and both sides suffered huge losses, and in later generations, many people believed that the greatest winner of the Korean War was the Soviet Union, and in a sense, this is not wrong. But it was only one aspect, and in a way, the Soviet Union paid a much higher price, and it slowly manifested itself in the following decades. After the death of Stalin.

Subsequently, Molotov proposed at the top level of the CPSU that the Korean War must be ended as soon as possible, because it had already caused huge losses to the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea. Molotov found that whether the Americans themselves realized it or not, it dragged the entire Soviet Union with only the Eighth and Tenth Armies.

When the Soviet Union was drawn into the Korean War because of its full support for China and North Korea, the United States had quietly completed the deployment of world hegemony: Europe officially embraced it as its military leader; The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has turned into a military bloc; West Germany and Japan had become Western allies and had implemented plans to rearm Germany; The United States quickly deployed an encirclement of Soviet power by military treaty; Vast numbers of middle-ground countries have turned to the United States.

What's more, isolationism in the United States has largely failed, and the military strike force has more than tripled. In particular, the United States has perfected the construction of the strategic air force, creating thermonuclear weapons, which posed a direct threat to the USSR. All of these problems need to be slowly solved by the Soviet Union over a long period of time, or even never. Serov remained motionless for a long time holding the newspaper, as if he had become an eternal sculpture.

The Korean War was very important, but it was not Serov's concern, in other words, Serov was not qualified to care about the Korean War. But Stalin's death had something to do with Serov. It can even be said that if Serov is not careful, he will lose his current position because of this incident. Although it was February, the temperature in Baku was not as cold as in the rest of the Soviet Union, but it was still chilling for Serov. The lightning recall in his mind whether he had participated in the political struggle at the top made Serov breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that this young secretary does not have a factional label on him.

As for participating in the above battles after Stalin's death, Serov never thought that it was not uncommon for the gods to fight and harm the pond fish, and in the face of the bigwigs in Moscow, although Serov was the first secretary of the Azerbaijani Komsomol, he did not think that the title of secretary could make him live longer, in the eyes of the bigwigs, the secretary of an autonomous republic was not much heavier than a street sweeper.

Serov has already decided that he must be a good man in the near future, survive the turmoil after Stalin's death, and not worry about having no chance to get ahead in the future. Looking at the young face in the mirror, Serov was very confident that the twenty-six-year-old secretary of the Komsomol would only appear in the USSR in the fifties, a country where adult men died in large numbers.

The secretary of the Komsomol may not seem to be big, but he has great potential, because Serov knew that after Stalin's death, Khrushchev would definitely get rid of a group of people, and compared with the period when other leaders of the Soviet Union were in power, the leadership of Khrushchev changed extremely drastically, and a group of leading cadres who were loyal to Stalin's line were eliminated.

The secretaries above their heads may have to step aside at some point. Although he was unexpectedly young, Serov was not surprised, because the Soviet Union had its own national conditions, and it can be said that a large number of middle-level cadres in the entire Soviet Union are very young, which is completely different from a large number of old men who are about to disintegrate the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union lost 27 million killed in World War II alone, and in one place, as far as Serov knows, 500,000 adult men died in Stalin's hometown of Georgia, while in Azerbaijan, where Serov lived, the Komsomol data shows that 440,000 men were killed. In the years immediately after the end of the war, this was often seen on a graduation photo, with several normal men in the middle of the photo, next to a dozen disabled people, surrounded by dozens of girls.

For many years after the end of the war, the population of the Soviet Union remained a secret and would never be made public. Serov knew that it was absolutely abnormal even if he thought about it with his ass, which shows how serious the matter has become. "If a man in the Republic of the twenty-first century would be envious of this situation, wouldn't he?" Serov muttered to himself, followed by a chuckle, don't talk about anyone else. Even he is a little fluttery now, and he wants to find some high-quality hairy girls to raise his eyes first. "Actually, Azerbaijan is also a good place!" Serov muttered to himself.

Trapped by the information of later generations, Serov always believed that in the Soviet republics, except for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and the vast and sparsely populated Kazakhstan, they were all lagging behind, especially in places close to the Middle East and with many Muslims, which were even poorer in Serov's impression. It's no different from the European Middle Ages. It was only after the crossing that I found out that the situation in Azerbaijan was not bad, religion had been weakened by the Soviet Union to the greatest extent, and Azerbaijan and Russia were the only two republics that did not need central financial subsidies.

If he goes down step by step, Xie Jie, who has become Serov, should eat and wait for death, and if he is lucky, he will stand at a good height when he is fifty or sixty years old, and then retire as a group of people with vested interests. But this is not what Serov wants, and now he is so young that he may not be dead when the Soviet Union collapses. "It's not what I want! Definitely not! ”

Serovho stood up, walked around the desk twice, and suddenly stared at the red flag outside, in the future my motherland is the second economy in the world, and now my motherland is also the second economy in the world, and in the future my motherland will be surrounded by a group of countries on the other side of the ocean, and now my motherland is still like this. The most important thing is that they are all socialist countries, and they are incompatible with the strongest in the world. "It suddenly occurred to me that the existence of America was a mistake!" Facing the blood-red banner fluttering outside, Serov said as if he were talking to himself and taking an oath.
