Serov chose not to go somewhere else, that is, the first time he met Alexey's Palace of Culture, this is not a thing to see things, what to commemorate friendship, purely Serov is used to it, and there is usually no place to go, except for the last few days with Valya's family, usually the screen in the apartment, the black and white TV set full of snowflakes, is really not watching**.

"Prime Minister Daoud still has his own confusion? If you think that the Soviet Union has solved the problem you are facing, you can say it and see if I can make a suggestion! After sitting down, Serov said without any nonsense.

Normally, in terms of status, Serov is not qualified to talk to Daoud, the prime minister of a country, on an equal footing, even if the international status of the Soviet Union far exceeds that of Afghanistan, and there is still a gap between the status of the minister of the interior of a union republic and the prime minister of a country. Prime Minister Daoud is sitting here because he already has a vague sense that there is a latent force in the Soviet Union, and he has generally felt the composition of this force.

After arriving in Azerbaijan, it became even more evident that both Semychasny and Serov seemed to have something to do with the strong young leadership of Moscow, who, as far as he knew, was now moving closer to Khrushchev.

Daoud said casually, as if he was with his friends, "Afghanistan has a lot of tribal power, and as far as I know, many parts of the Soviet Union originally had a very heavy tribal power and church power!" How do you deal with these stubborn forces? ”

When Serov heard this, not only did he not feel harsh, but he could also feel that Daoud had already restrained his speech. The power of the Church? Maybe there are still Islamic forces, right? It's just that Afghanistan itself is also an Islamic country, so Daoud omitted the past and only mentioned the power of the Orthodox Church.

"Very short!" Serov said succinctly, "Religion holds the realm of the minds of ordinary people, and in order for the people to truly awaken, it is necessary to limit the rights of the clergy and free the people from the shackles of the clergy!" The most extreme way is to eradicate them in one fell swoop, and at the same time publicize the crimes of the clergy and distribute the wealth accumulated by the church to the people! Serov only said it casually, because he was almost certain that Daoud would not be able to do it, even if only to limit the influence of religion among the people, he was very capable.

Sure enough, Daoud was silent for a long time and did not continue on this issue, even if he liked the order and security of the Soviet Union very much, he did not dare to rashly turn against religious forces in Afghanistan, so he changed the question, "How to unite the different ethnic groups of a country?" ”

This is a big problem, and as far as Serov knows, no country in the twenty-first century can do it. The current Soviet Union has also not solved this problem, but Daoud can't see it. However, this does not delay Serov to have his own opinion on this kind of thing, and if it is really useful, he can also export and turn domestic sales to solve the problems of the Soviet Union, pretending to think about it for a while, and said, "If you want to solve the contradiction of tribal discord, you must have a strong force to suppress them and ensure that they themselves do not fight." Prime Minister Daoud, the main ethnic group in Afghanistan is Pashtuns, right? Seeing that Daud nodded, Serov continued, "There are many tribes of Afghans, Pashtuns make up about half of the population, and even the royal family is Pashtun. So this kind of power can only appear among the Pashtuns, and the current Afghan army cannot take on such a role! ”

"Oh? The most powerful force is, of course, the army, why can't the army play such a role? Daoud asked.

Serov replied, "Since it is the army of the country, it is natural that when recruiting soldiers, you can't only recruit Pashtuns, if you do this, the eyes of the tribes of the whole country are fixed on the army, and once they find out that there are only Pashtuns in the army, they will definitely develop their own armed forces to protect themselves." We're going to solve problems, not them exploding early! ”

Prime Minister Daoud thought for a moment and motioned to Serov to continue, "So there must be a department to play this role!" Prime Minister Daoud, you should have met with the members of the Internal Affairs Forces these days, please tell us what you think! ”

"Afghanistan needs a Ministry of Internal Affairs? Serov? Is this your suggestion? Prime Minister Daoud asked.

"To be precise, it is necessary to have a paramilitary force that is simply not controlled by other forces, and its duties are specifically responsible for dealing with domestic problems, he may not be the model of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it must have the organizational strength of the Internal Affairs Force!" Serov finished speaking in one breath, waiting for Daoud's own decision.

I'm really going further and further down the road of suppressing democracy! Hey! Serov sneered in his heart, if his suggestion was really adopted, maybe in the next few decades, there would definitely be no fewer people who died at the hands of this army. This must be counted on Serov's head. However, thinking of the tragic fate of the Afghans in later generations, he suddenly became arrogant again, and I saved more people.

"There is still too much opposition, and the Pashtuns in our country make up only half of the Afghans!" Prime Minister Daoud was still a little hesitant.

"Aren't there still your compatriots in Pakistan? If you can get some people back, you'll be more sure. In particular, the Pashtuns on the Pakistani side are actually easier to grasp in their hands, and they are free from the intricate hidden forces in their own country! "Serov now finally understands why there are so many mercenaries in history. There is a reason for existence, these people have no roots, and they are easier to control. But once it grows bigger, the harm is endless.

Prime Minister Daoud may need a foreigner to help him see the problem from the perspective of a bystander, and Serov appeared at this time to provide Prime Minister Daoud with the perspective of a bystander, so this conversation in the Palace of Culture went on for a long time.

Serov adheres to his consistent belief that foreigners are not considered human beings. Once the idea is implemented, I don't know how many people will disappear from this world. But so what? Will it be worse than Afghanistan in history?

If Serov could really climb to a higher position, he would definitely prevent the invasion of Afghanistan, not because Serov is peace-loving, but because Afghanistan is too poor. The USSR could not even earn money on military spending. If there was a mega-gold mine or something like that in Afghanistan, Serov would be the first to vote for an attack.

"As for your territorial dispute with Pakistan, now Pakistan has the Americans behind it! With Afghanistan's own forces it should be difficult to return the territory, Britain and the United States do not separate, and the Americans will not turn around to overturn the treaty of the British! Given that both you and Pakistan are Islamic countries, it is not easy for countries such as Egypt to meddle! But Pakistan has enemies, and you can fish in troubled waters when there is a crisis between India and Pakistan, of course, this is just advice! I've always been peace-loving! Serov knew that if Afghanistan attacked Pakistan together with India, it would probably be very offensive to those countries in the Middle East. That's why it's just a suggestion.
