Chapter 250: Candidates

Petrov's crime is much more serious than Pinkovsky, who died at the hands of Serov, and the severity is even saved by the secret court, and Serov, who got Petr's confession, can now kill Petrkov on the spot, and there is no need for the secret court to declare him guilty.

"In three days, all the cadres of the First Directorate at the rank of major and above and the cadres of the GRU must assemble!" Serov said in an unquestionable tone, "It's so decided, let someone make a pair of plate armor for Petro **v and make him a coffin ......"

The arrest of Peter **v does not mean that the matter is over, the internal investigation of the KGB will not end so simply, and the remaining twenty people will still face endless interrogations until these people can prove their innocence. Serov is not ready to let these people go, since the suspicions of these people have been discovered during the inventory, it is necessary to find out until they are clear. The intelligence agency applies the sentence of peanuts more than anywhere else, and it is better to kill 3,000 by mistake than to let go of one.

The results of the interrogation and the confession of Petr **v were soon sent to the KGB headquarters at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, where they were met by KGB Chairman Serov, "Petr **v? The chairman of the KGB was not forgetful, he still had an impression of his former secretary, and immediately began to read the confession of Peter **v, and after reading the confession from beginning to end, the face of the chairman of the KGB changed from surprise to anger to coldness.

He did not doubt the outcome of this interrogation, no one would lie to him on this matter, especially within the KGB, "This guy turned out to be a traitor, it is really unassuming!" The chairman of the KGB said through gritted teeth, leaning on the table.

Peter **v is already with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and it is not impossible to become a general of the KGB in the future, with the relationship of the chairman of the KGB, it will definitely develop smoothly, but who knows that he will be a traitor. Since becoming a traitor means being abandoned, subordinates who have no training value will not be in the heart of the KGB chairman.

The chairman of the KGB had only one difficult problem before him, and that was whether or not to report such a matter to the general secretary, who had already been criticized after the dismantling of the London intelligence network. This kind of thing happened in a short time, and even if he was as cold as him, he was a little afraid to face Khrushchev's anger.

Since the matter has already been discovered, it is not possible not to report it, and the evidence of Peter **fu's case is conclusive and cannot be concealed. The chairman of the KGB, who figured this out, was no longer willing and had to inform Khrushchev about this.

"Let Serov, the head of the Department of Foreign Intelligence, come and report to me on the process of the Peter's case!" After speaking, the chairman of the KGB put down the phone and had already decided to report the case to Khrushchev, hoping that it would not arouse the disgust of the general secretary.

The chairman of the KGB has been busy in the last six months. The Pinkovsky and Petr cases have already been produced in succession, plus the London intelligence network has been smashed, and he was criticized by the general secretary only once two months ago, and he now almost does not want to think about the general secretary of the Kremlin.

"Let's talk about it, tell me about Peter **fu from beginning to end, aren't you presiding over the inventory?" There was a rare trace of tiredness in the KGB chairman's voice, "Peter **v used to be my secretary in Ukraine, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of fate, tell me how you found out about him......"

"When I returned home, I set about repairing the London intelligence network that had been dismantled by MI6 because it was not possible to mobilize enough manpower in a short period of time. The agent who used to work in the UK can only be asked to return to London and contact the original relationship! Serov said eloquently, "Among them is Major General Rokin, the former commander of the London intelligence network who was transferred back to China, and this time it was also Major General Rokin who learned that there was a traitor bribed by imperialism within our intelligence system, so he launched an investigation operation......

In Alexey's absence this time, Serov had already prepared a set of rhetoric to tell the whole story from beginning to end, all in a coherent and logical way, so that even the chairman of the KGB would not feel that anything was wrong, as if this was how things were.

"Comrade Rogin found out? This is not surprising. Comrade Rogin used to work in England for three years, but I didn't expect you to send him back to London this time! The chairman of the KGB did not find anything suspicious, looked at Serov, who was standing in front of him, and asked, "What are you going to do with Peter?" I mean, when was it shot? ”

Whether it is considered from the point of view of the crime of Peter **. Or based on the KGB chairman's understanding of Serov, Petrov is dead, and he just wants to know when Petrov will be executed, and he still has some feelings for his secretary, the KGB chairman, although it is not as big as others think.

"I am ready to openly burn Peter **v, so that the cadres of the First Main Directorate of the KGB and the GRU above the rank of major. All the Rites! Serov said unabashedly, "Let all the cadres who often have access to confidential documents see that the consequences of treason are like this, and when the thought of treason flashes in their minds in the future, they will think of the fate of Petrov......"

"Well, you have your point!" Unlike Serov had imagined, the chairman of the KGB did not mean anything displeased, and then after a few words about work, Serov left his office.

The chairman of the KGB picked up the phone, asked the secretary to arrange a special car, and then walked out of his office to the Kremlin, for the chairman of the KGB, this kind of thing has to be reported even if it is late, I just hope that Khrushchev is in a good mood today, and he will not be reprimanded like last time!

"Something happened to the KGB again?" Khrushchev questioned, then took the document handed over by the chairman of the KGB, and after reading it at a glance and ten lines, he said, "I have been hearing bad news since half a year ago, and the news I heard today is especially bad, Peter **v alone actually betrayed hundreds of high-level agents of our Soviet Union who had worked hard to cultivate!" ”

Speaking of this, Khrushchev took off his glasses, pinched his eye sockets tiredly and asked, "Who found Peter**v?" And what are you going to do with this traitor? ”

"It was the clue discovered by Major General Rogin, the commander of the London Intelligence Network, and then Major General Serov, Director of the Department of Foreign Intelligence, launched an investigation operation to lock up a group of major suspects, and the head of the General Directorate of the Secret Police, Major General Alexey, arrested Peter **v!" The chairman of the KGB repeated Serov's rhetoric, "Now that Peter **v has pleaded guilty, but the remaining twenty people are still being held for interrogation, Yuri means that the investigation will continue, because these people are also very suspicious!" As for the treatment of Petrov, Comrade Serov meant a public execution, in which the entire cadres of the 1st General Directorate and the GRU were present! ”

"Oh, Rogin, Serov and Alexey!" It took Khrushchev a long time to say, "Public executions?" Let's do it, if the KGB cannot become an impregnable wall to defend the Soviet Union, what sense of security do we have? ”

"General Secretary, I know what you mean, I'll go back first!" The chairman of the KGB breathed a sigh of relief, today Khrushchev did not reprimand himself, this is already a surprise, it is too much to ask for anything else, just be safe and sound.

Are you all right? Khrushchev, who was already a little tired, now has no sleepiness and seems to be planning something, "Serov has been in the KGB for several years, and it seems that the current KGB should have a new chairman......"

This is also related to Khrushchev's considerations, the chairman of the KGB cannot stay in his position for too long, after passing through the Malenkov group, Khrushchev, who has the support of the KGB and the Ministry of Defense, can be regarded as safe and sound through his crisis, but it didn't take long to think of Zhukov, the time of dismissal of Zhukov happened to be during the time when Serov was in Egypt, Khrushchev decided to put the army under the leadership of the party, strengthen the leadership of the party and political work in the army, Let the power of the commissar be higher than that of the military commander. Zhukov, however, refused to implement the policy of the Central Committee, adhered to the system of military chiefs, and opposed the establishment of party leadership in the army. This is contrary to Khrushchev's ideas.

In addition, another of Zhukov's charges was that without the consent of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Zhukov set up a special school for raiding behind enemy lines, which was directly subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, and enrolled more than 2,000 cadets.

After the defeat of the Malenkov, Molotov anti-party clique, Zhukov gained too much power, which began to worry the rest of the leadership. They believe that Zhukov is trying to seize power, and the country is in danger of a military coup. He also said that Zhukov revealed this intention in a conversation with the commander of the military district. The country's leadership could not allow Zhukov to carry out such a military coup in the Soviet Union. Khrushchev's remark charged Zhukov with an even more serious crime, which is not only to remove the party's leadership from the army, but to usurp power and seize power.

Zhukov had just been dismissed for two months, but it was a little difficult to adjust the policy of the Ministry of Defense, and the only thing that could be compared with the Ministry of Defense in the Soviet Union was the KGB system established by Khrushchev himself, so that the KGB could conduct an inventory of the military and the idea of removing Zhukov's influence from the military was constantly lingering in Khrushchev's mind.

Khrushchev was very convinced of the loyalty of the current KGB chairman, but let him deal with those very old generals of the Ministry of Defense, with Khrushchev's understanding of the KGB chairman, Serov's ability may not be enough.

The removal of the head of the KGB was at first a flash of thought, and now Khrushchev is increasingly trying to put it into action. The new chairman of the KGB had to have a state of not taking the group of people in the Ministry of Defense seriously, because Khrushchev wanted to cut the number and military spending of some of the Red Army soldiers, and invest this money in the space and nuclear industries.
