"I don't agree with Comrade Najib!" General Secretary Gro interrupted Najib's words without being salty, and said with a blank face, "We will not give up chasing down criminals who disturb the country, it does not mean that we will repeat the previous mistakes, the facts have been very clear, this march and the later riots have caused irreparable damage to the country, and criminals must be let know the consequences of doing wrong things in order to play a role in preventing crime, otherwise a march from time to time may be faster than our construction speed, where to start the construction of the country?" ”

"Hungarian comrades, it's good to have differences, but we should solve them first!" Andropov duly reminded the Hungarian leadership of the occasion to pay attention to the occasion.

Serov cleared his throat and said, "Actually, it is very simple, the Hungarian party must make a deep reflection on this behavior, this is not only my opinion, but the opinion of Comrade Khrushchev Comrade Malenkov, the purity of the party must be guaranteed, the irresolute elements in the party in this incident, as well as the corpse vegetarians who turned a blind eye to the unrest in the country, must be dealt with, this is the opinion put forward by our Soviet Union!" ”

Serov accentuated the tone of the word Soviet Union, which is actually very simple, the reason why the march developed to the point of being out of control as it was later, in addition to the discord between Najib's forces and Rakosi's forces, the sympathy of some people in the party for this march was also an important factor, otherwise the matter would have been resolved long ago. It was not at all necessary for Serov to take the risk of bombing the US embassy to find a reason to suppress it without being scolded.

"Comrade Serov, Comrade Andropov, this is the opinion of the USSR? I wonder if this is a bit serious, most of the comrades still have a deep affection for the country. It's a bit cruel! Najib hesitated. A one-size-fits-all approach can be a bit impersonal. I suggest checking it out more! ”

Najib tried his best to put forward his opinion tactfully, because he had already understood what Serov and the two men meant, in fact, not only him, but also Gro and Kadar understood Serov's subtext, which was, Qing, Dang......

The word was so heavy that the leadership, which held the power of life and death, fell into a brief silence, and no one spoke first. Whether you agree or disagree, it has the potential to change the fate of tens of thousands of people.

Andropov glanced around the Hungarian leadership and said coldly, "There are more than 800,000 Hungarian party members, and according to the information we received from Minister Rassac, nearly 20,000 people submitted their resignation and party declarations during the march, a proportion of one-fortieth, and this does not include some wavering elements who did not have time to submit them. What is your explanation for this situation? Would you like Comrade Serov and I to sit down and listen to you? ”

Silence, death-like silence spread among the Hungarian leadership. Everyone wants to say something, but eventually finds themselves unable to speak. It's like there's an invisible person strangling their necks, making it impossible for them to breathe.

"General Secretary Rakosi's mistakes are his own, everyone has everyone's mistakes!" Serov stood straight in front of these people and said coldly, "General Secretary Rakosi's iron-fisted style is not good, but being too indecisive is not a good phenomenon either. What kind of decision to make to keep the fruits of the people, I think everyone knows very well! ”

"There's nothing wrong with me being pure!" General Secretary Gro was the first to express his position, as a close confidant of the former General Secretary Rakosi, Groh has heard unfavorable news in recent times, and there is a lot of news about Najib coming to power to liquidate them, and at this time, Gro's statement is undoubtedly for self-preservation. In fact, Groh thought too much, although the Soviet Union behind Serov hoped that Najib, who had a better image and was more down-to-earth, would be in power, but it had no intention of letting Gro step down. Otherwise, when Najib is both prime minister and general secretary, it will be difficult to be controlled.

"General Secretary Groh has made the right choice!" Andropov smiled reservedly and praised, "In terms of party affairs, General Secretary Groh is still very expert, and we can see at a glance the problems that Hungary is facing, and we feel very fortunate that Hungary has a general secretary like Groh presiding over the work!" ”

Andropov's words undoubtedly gave Groh a reassurance, at least he would not worry that the Soviet Union was ready to replace his position with Najib, in fact, according to the information that Serov received from Moscow, in the layout of Hungary, Moscow is ready to use the two-giant model, party affairs and government affairs to form a balance between each other, which can also balance the conservative and radical forces in Hungary, and most importantly, let the Soviet Union have the opportunity to intervene at any time.

"Well, I agree!" When Najib saw that Gro had already made a statement, he knew that things were inevitable, and all that remained was who would preside over the operation.

Serov looked at the minister, who had a sharp eye and a cold face, and said for a long time, "Minister Kadar, I heard that you used to be the Minister of Internal Affairs and have just gotten rid of grievances?" I think Minister Kadar is more than capable of presiding over this operation! ”

Serov's choice of Kadar was not without reason, firstly, Kadar had been persecuted by Rakosi and was well aware of the pain of unjust cases, so he would definitely do his best to give party members a fair evaluation if he presided over the operation. Second, Kadar was once the Minister of the Interior of Hungary, and while he sympathized with his comrades in the party, he did not lack a tough heart, and he could be the executor of the actions of the Qing and the party.

Historically, after Gro was forced to step down, Kadar was appointed as first secretary of the Central Committee of the Hungarian Working People's Party and chairman of the Central Presidium of the Central Committee of the Working People's Party in the same year. Kadar played a major role in quelling the events in October in Hungary. In view of the complete paralysis of the party organization in the riots, Kadar announced the dissolution of the Hungarian Working People's Party, the formation of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, and the establishment of a Provisional Central Executive Committee to replace the Presidium, with Kadar leading the newly reconstituted Provisional Central Committee of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party. With the support of the Soviet Union, Kadar broke with Nagy's government and led the establishment of a new Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Government, serving as Prime Minister of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Government of the Hungarian People's Republic.

If it weren't for Serov's presence, this man would be the ruler of Hungary for decades to come, and perhaps out of sympathy, Serov ultimately hoped that the historical Hungarian ruler would have a chance to clean up the situation.

"I have no opinion!" Nagy and Gro expressed their support almost simultaneously, and it can be said that in the coming year, Kadar will be the most feared figure in the Hungarian party, as he will embark on the work of purging the party!

"Now that the Hungarian comrades have already decided, I have nothing to add to Comrade Andropov!" Serov looked like he had nothing to do with me, as if all this was the decision of the Hungarian leadership itself. The posture before and after interprets a very classic sentence, which is ruthless.

Back to the streets of Budapest, the deserted streets are in stark contrast to the bustle of some time ago, the streets and alleys are full of Hungarian internal affairs personnel checking officers, and the non-stop gunfire of the day has successfully extinguished the enthusiasm of the Hungarian march, and now the most important thing these people want to see at this time is that the whole incident is over and the country returns to a stable life.

"Comrade Serov, just now there is news from the country that American investigators are coming to Hungary soon, you have to be ready!" Andropov looked at the desolate street and said slowly.

"So fast?" Serov touched his chin and said in a breathless voice, "Why don't I have any news at all!" ”

Andropov chuckled, shook his head and said, "This kind of news is naturally the first to be heard by our diplomatic department, although you used to be an ambassador, but the KGB will not give you the news in advance, because it is not within your purview!" ”

Not in my purview? Serov's eyebrows moved, and his eyes seemed to be much larger. It seems that since the wake of the Soviet Union, he himself seems to have done a lot of things that are not within the scope of his authority, and at present, he has not poked any big baskets.

"It's a pity that there is still no news on the border, and I don't know if the surrounding fraternal countries have helped us block the fleeing counter-revolutionaries!" Serov fully let Andropov see what it means to have a strong mentality, he is like this now, and he still has time to care about other things, Andropov asked himself that he is known for his calmness, but he does not have such a good mentality.

Forget it, don't do it if you don't understand it! Andropov sighed secretly and told Serov that tomorrow the US investigation team would be transferred from the airport in Yugoslavia to Budapest, hoping that Serov would make some preparations.

"The United States has communicated with us, and tomorrow Hungarian airspace will be open! Here's what you're looking forward to, and I'd love to see the KGB and the CIA go into battle! Andropov didn't know how to comfort Serov, and then it seemed that Serov was completely pretending not to be nervous.

At noon on 2 November, the Budapest airport welcomed the US investigation team, and Hungarian General Secretary Gro, Prime Minister Nagy, Minister of the Interior Lassac, and Political and Political Affairs Commissioner Kadar were all present to greet them; Andropov was not easy to come because he was the Soviet ambassador; Serov and Major General Yemenov, in the capacity of chief adviser and chief investigator of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs in Hungary, respectively came to the airport to greet them, "Ha, Dulles......" Major General Yemenov snorted coldly after hearing the names of the guests.

"Which Dulles? Director of the CIA? Serov didn't know such a big man either, so he simply had the characteristic of not being ashamed to ask, and said, "If it's the director of the CIA, can we plan an accident and keep him in Hungary?" ”

"It's the US Secretary of State, can you learn Hungarian, no wonder you take your Hungarian female secretary with you every day!" Major General Yemenov scolded with a smile, "You have a good eye, and the female secretary is capable and will sleep with you!" ”

"Don't frame my female secretary, life style problems are a big deal!" Serov, however, directly denied it. (To be continued......)
