"Oh?" Sherepin seemed to suddenly realize, "Something like how you solved the Hungarian affair and then blew up the American Embassy?" If so, you've solved a lot of tough problems! ”

Listening to Shelepin start to mention the matter of the US Embassy again, Serov naturally observed the furnishings of the chairman's office, well, very tasteful! It embodies the lofty artistic feelings of the high-level cadres of the Soviet Union, as well as a simple spirit of socialism, which is very worth learning! If everyone had such feelings, socialism would not be a dream!

"Don't talk about it? But this time I really need you to have this kind of characteristic, otherwise such a tricky problem is really difficult to handle! Sherepin temporarily sat in the office of the former chairman, looked at Serov with his legs crossed, and said, "Yuri, you know the intention of transferring you to the Third Directorate, right?" The Third General Directorate confronted the Red Army, and now the General Secretary is desperate to solve the problems of the Red Army......"

"Can the problem of the Red Army be solved by the strength of our General Directorate? Hundreds of combat divisions in sixteen military districts! I have a headache just thinking about it! When it came to the point, Serov did not have time to look at the furnishings, and complained, "How do I know who the Stalinists are?" And who are the Bonapartists? There are so many marshals in the Ministry of Defense, I don't dare to move any of them......"

The nine generalissimos of the Ministry of Defense are usually the marshals who were awarded before Beria became a marshal and are still alive. In fact, there were more marshals of the Soviet Red Army than the usual name, and there were nearly twenty marshals of the Soviet Red Army, including Marshal Bagla Miyan. And that's not all, the people above are just marshals of the Soviet Union. It does not have a class prefix. Underneath these Marshals of the Red Army. There are also a large number of marshals of various branches of the armed forces, and the number of marshals is enough to scare Serov into peeing his pants, and this is not a matter of replacing a Minister of Defense, and without Zhukov, ordinary people would not dare to go against the Ministry of Defense.

"Aren't you bold? Why didn't you dare to do it this time? Sherepin, who had always kept a cigarette in his hand, left three cigarette butts in the ashtray next to him after a while, and was lighting the fourth one at this time. The power of the humanoid chimney is fully embodied.

"So many marshals of the Ministry of Defense. Who dares to rush forward! Old secretary, I dare to fight! But that doesn't mean I'm willing to bang my head against the wall! Serov still lacked confidence and said, "Which of those old marshals didn't come down from the battlefield?" ”

"Shall I let you get the results in a month?" Sherepin said without a hesitation, "The Ministry of Defense just looks scary. But the Red Army did not have the right to act in the country, but our border guards subordinate to the KGB and the Internal Affairs Police had this right, what are you afraid of? You start with the ideological work of the lower-level soldiers, and then work your way up the ranks, as long as all the front-line commanders are done, what else can the high-ranking old men of the Ministry of Defense do? This time, the general secretary meant that the military expenditure and size of the Red Army must be reduced! Both the space industry and the nuclear industry need money, and if the Red Army does not cooperate, we will force them to cooperate, there is nothing to say about it......"

What Sherepin said, Serov understood everything. He's not a fool, but he still doesn't have a clue how to do it. Now the general secretary has given an order for the Red Army to cut its funds, and the marshals of the Ministry of Defense are not satisfied with this situation. The general secretary obviously wanted the KGB, which was also a powerful department, to regulate the Ministry of Defense, and the KGB was the department that Khrushchev proposed to set up next, and this time he obviously wanted the KGB to knock down the Ministry of Defense, which was not very obedient under Zhukov's influence.

"What? Do you have a clue now? If I can figure it out, I'll take out what I've prepared, or you'll be waiting for months! Maybe the general secretary forgot about it, and I can detain it for a while! Xie Lepin touched his trademark forehead, which was not salty or light.

"Generally speaking, we can only start with corruption and unhealthy thinking!" Serov said while meditating, "At the same time, it is only me who will kill all the marshals of the Ministry of Defense, so first delineate a range!" I'm going to focus on the subordinates promoted by Marshal Zhukov! Turning a blind eye to the protégés of other marshals, carrying out operations in the name of anti-corruption will not cause panic among junior officers, and then turning the spearhead to ideology after starting, driving Marshal Zhukov's subordinates out of the army first, and then thinking about the next issue after everything is done......"

With Serov's words, Sherepin next to him was also constantly deducing in his mind, and after finding no obvious loopholes, Sherepin nodded and said, "That's it, first start an inventory of Marshal Zhukov's subordinates in World War II!" The Bonapartist must be cleared out of the ranks of the Red Army! ”

The Bonapartist is only an excuse, even Marshal Tukhachevsky, who was first declared Bonapartist, was rehabilitated at the 20th Congress, and the current Marshal Zhukov naturally has no reason to be dismissed for such reasons. But Marshal Zhukov, as a soldier, was too enthusiastic about politics, and changing a general secretary was still interested in finding a way to replace it.

"Even if you have some way, the general secretary attaches great importance to this matter! Yuri, get it done! Sherepin patted Serov on the shoulder, waved his hand and beckoned an ensign, took the military uniform in the second lieutenant's hand and said, "Yuri, the head of the Third General Directorate of the KGB? Yefimovich? Serov! In view of the work of Comrade Serov in the KGB, he achieved excellent work results! On the instructions of the Presidium of the Central Committee, awarded to Yuri? Yefimovich? Comrade Serov with the rank of lieutenant general, I hope you can continue to work hard......"

"Thanks to the central leadership, I will do my best to do every task assigned by the central government!" Serov, who was still sitting on the sofa, quickly stopped the intention of doing another one, and stood up in a panic and saluted Sherepin.

The military rank of the KGB is different from that of the Red Army, as long as it reaches the corresponding rank, it will follow, even if a person like Sherepin has not been in the KGB for a day, as long as he becomes the chairman of the KGB, he can change from a person with nothing to the chairman of the KGB at the level of a general within a day, but not all KGB chairmen wear military uniforms, and KGB people can choose not to accept the military rank awarded, such as Sherepin is not currently wearing a general's uniform.

For example, when Semychasny was in charge of the KGB later, he accepted the award of the chairman of the Central Committee and became General Semychasny, and after a year of sitting as chairman of the KGB, he has become a general of the same rank as the marshals of all arms!

Whether or not to wear a military uniform does not affect the authority of the chairman of the KGB, and the authority is not reflected through a military uniform, but the position of the chairman of the KGB, when Sherepin in a suit is in a meeting, he can still make a group of generals dare not breathe.

Serov did not become complacent about the rank of lieutenant general, because in the presence of the two chairmen of the KGB, Serepin and Semychasny, it was nothing at all. Whether it is Shelepin, who was in charge of the KGB at the age of 39, or Semychasny, who became the chairman of the KGB at the age of 37, as long as these two people are still around, Serov will never be a demon who has improved too quickly.

After Sheleping retired from the others, the rest of the time was completely private time for the two of them, and Serov hurriedly asked, "Old secretary, since you are already in charge of the KGB!" So who is in charge of the work on the Komsomol side now? ”

"It's Shemychasny, he's been in Azerbaijan for so long! It's time to go back to Moscow too! Shelepin said confidently, "The Communist Youth League is still under my influence, and everything is still ...... as before."

Serov nodded clearly, because of the personal relationship between Sherepin and Semychasny, the KGB of the Soviet Union began to enter a period of vigorous development in the late fifties, because of the absolute trust between the two, at the end of Khrushchev, the KGB had been restored to a similar status as the Ministry of Internal Affairs of that year, and after Khrushchev was dissatisfied with Sherepin's work, in order to calm Sherepin's emotions, he appointed Semychasny as the chairman of the KGB, In the end, the two did not hesitate to use the KGB to keep Khrushchev in check.

Among Sherepin's friends, Semychasny followed Serepin closely as a junior until Brezhnev came to power. With the cooperation of the two in the KGB, the relationship between the two will gradually surpass the relationship between Yegorechev and Meshatsev and Sherepin, and become the backbone of the Sherepin group.

"Old secretary, I'll come up with a plan when I go back! Prepare to begin eliminating the influence of Marshal Zhukov in the Red Army! Serov, who came back from his thoughts, felt that he had been at the headquarters long enough today, and that he should return to his General Directorate of Military Administration, and he still needed to sort out his own thinking, and he still had to be cautious in the face of the kind of department of the Ministry of Defense that bombs at the slightest touch.

"Okay, Yuri! Feel free to report to me if there is any difficulty! "Sherepin seemed to be a little more excited than usual, probably because the KGB was in charge just now, so he didn't stay with Serov.

One more thing to say here is that since the headquarters of the Third Main Directorate is not very close to Serov's apartment, after he became the head of the Third General Directorate, he got rid of the dilemma of riding a bicycle to work, and the KGB allocated Serov a special car, and the original special car was not taken back, and the two women in the family are still driving the car of the Foreign Intelligence Department to and from work.

It was snowy in Moscow in January, and after the car started, Serov, who was sitting in the car, could clearly feel the cold wind coming through the cracks in the closed doors, blowing a quiet symphony of cold winds. (To be continued.) (LＷXＳ５２０。 ＣＯＭ))>
