Chapter 259 Application for Retirement

This time, Serov's mood when he left for the Moscow Military District was obviously completely different from the last time, he was dressed in a straight lieutenant general's uniform, and he brought all the 12 directors of the General Administration of Military Administration and hundreds of investigators, and the atmosphere of a nouveau riche rushed to his face. Serov also has his own considerations, this will be the first time that the General Directorate of Military Administration has shown its fangs, how can it not create a big scene?

The motorcade of the General Directorate of Military Administration entered the front of the building of the Moscow Military District, and Serov, who pushed the door of the car, took off his thick leather gloves, pointed to the building and said with great ambition, "General Shiniev, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Moscow Military District, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, Deputy Minister of Operations, and Lieutenant General Tonya, Minister of Logistics, first called these generals over, here is the latest order of the Ministry of Defense, Colonel Pavlov and other directors of various departments, go to other places to find the people on the list, do you know?" ”

"Understood, Director!" With Serov's order, the neat convoy restarted and dispersed. They rushed to various parts of the military district to find the Bonapartist elements who were under heavy surveillance.

Serov strode to the headquarters building, looked at the domineering Soviet emblem in front of the building, and did not stop under the national emblem of the earth, walked down the steps into the headquarters building, and said, "Proletarians of the world, unite and ......

The building of the headquarters of the Moscow Military District welcomed an uninvited guest of the KGB, Serov's forehead was slightly raised, and no one in his eyes looked like a Soviet honor guard during the military parade, and he had to say that he definitely had that arrogance in his bones. Especially the Red Army officers who saw Serov and his group coming in the building, and felt even more so.

Following the memory to Marshal Moskalenko's office, Serov finally let go of his arrogant mentality, did not pose in front of the marshal regardless of the occasion, and said softly, "Marshal Moskalenko, hello! I have come here to announce the opinion of the Ministry of Defense on the handling of the Bonapartist elements in the Red Army, and I beg your pardon for any disturbances......

Marshal Moskalenko sighed secretly when he looked at Serov's business, he knew Serov's purpose and what kind of treatment the three old generals would face. Regarding the communication between Khrushchev and the Ministry of Defense, Marshal Moskalenko, as the commander of the Moscow Military District, naturally did not have a word at all, and picked up the phone without hesitation and said. "Lieutenant Colonel Vasily, take the comrades of the National Security Council to complete the task......"

Marshal Moskalenko put down the phone without saying a word, Serov silently saluted a military salute, Marshal Moskalenko's attitude has already made everything, and he has taken a tacit attitude towards Serov's visit this time.

Serov brought KGB agents from the Main Directorate of Military Administration. At this time, it occupied the conference room where the commanders of the Moscow Military District usually meet, and the door of the conference room was already occupied by the internal affairs police, and on the chair facing the door, Serov was spitting clouds and fog at the military map of the imaginary enemy on the wall, "Will the three-way army break through the West German defense line and finally converge in France?" It's a pity that I can't understand whether it's a big depth assault! Or is the use of tactical nuclear weapons taken into account? ”

The arrows on the map Serov can still be understood, but he doesn't quite understand what those small marks mean, the military map is very large, but it is densely marked with countless numbers. The forces of the two sides are fighting a silent war along an invisible line.

The person Serov was looking for was in this headquarters building, so it didn't take long for the door to be opened, that is, the door was opened before a cigarette was smoked, and the deputy chief of the General Staff, Colonel Shiniev, the deputy chief of operations, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, and the head of the logistics department, Lieutenant General Tonya, came to the conference room, Serov looked at the three old generals in front of him, who had not seen him for a long time, and said with a smug smile, "Hello three generals!" I didn't expect us to meet again in a matter of time......"

"Tell me something! We're still busy! Admiral Shinyev replied coldly.

"Busy? You'll be out of business right away! In the future, you can raise flowers, send your grandchildren to school or something, you can pass the time in the future! "Before the other party understood what it meant. The smile on Serov's face suddenly disappeared, he opened the briefcase made of brown paper with both hands, pulled out the documents inside, and said, "Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Moscow Military District, Colonel-General Shinyev, Deputy Minister of Operations, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, and Lieutenant General Tonya, Minister of Logistics!" According to the National Security Council, the General Directorate of Military Administration. In order to prevent the spread of such unhealthy ideas among the great Red Army, in accordance with the resolution of the Central Committee of the Ministry of National Defense, three comrades, Colonel-General Shiniev, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Moscow Military District, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, Deputy Minister of Operations, and Lieutenant General Tonya, Director of the Logistics Department, are no longer fit for their current posts. Taking into account the age and energy of the three comrades, the resolution of the Central Committee and the Central Committee of the Ministry of Defense decided that Colonel-General Shinyev, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev and Lieutenant General Tonya must leave their current posts! ”

Serov finished reading the lengthy resolution, then looked at the three old generals whose faces had changed drastically and said, "To put it simply, from now on, the three of you are no longer part of the great Soviet Red Army, and after the resolution is issued, General Shiniev, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev and Lieutenant General Tonya, the three of you must withdraw from the Red Army!" I've got the retirement paperwork ready, just sign it! ”

After speaking, Serov waved his hand, and Isenmodny, who was behind him, took out three retirement applications from his briefcase and placed them in front of the table of the three veteran generals, Serov said from the side, "According to the current regulations on the salaries of officers at all levels of the Red Army, Admiral Shinyev will receive a pension of 2,700 rubles per month, and Lieutenant General Tekhamiev and Lieutenant General Tonya will receive a pension of 2,500 rubles per month!" ”

Serov's eyes did not look at the faces of the three old generals when he spoke, but at his leather military boots, the price of this pair of military leather boots on Serov's feet is 700 rubles, and Admiral Shiniev's monthly pension can sell four pairs of Serov's military boots, it seems that the pension is very tight, right? This is due to the fact that the pension of officers of the Soviet Red Army was paid at half of the monthly salary of the service, which is why this effect occurred.

"Why is it up to you KGB people to announce the disposition of the Ministry of Defense?" Admiral Shinyev was a little stunned at first, but it took him a long time to find his thoughts and ask, "Can't our Ministry of Defense send someone to announce it?" ”

"This question is very understandable, that is, in the future, this kind of order will be announced by our General Military Administration!" Serov urged unceremoniously, "Admiral Shinyev, it's not too early!" I hope you will quickly bookmark your retirement application, I personally don't want to tear your face, it's better for everyone to retain a trace of basic warmth! If you don't sign it, I'll have to force you to retire! ”

Admiral Shinyev and the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw a touch of sadness and a trace of firmness in each other's eyes, and after a while, Admiral Shinyev took a deep look at Serov, and then took out the ability of a soldier, and signed his name with a few strokes of a cold snort, and Lieutenant General Tekhamiev and Lieutenant General Tonya followed suit.

Serov put away the three-point retirement application and instructed the internal affairs police in the back, "You guys follow the three old generals back to your office and escort them out of the military district!" ”

"Are you spying on us?" Lieutenant General Tekhamyev asked angrily like an old lion.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev! Preventing the leakage of secrets is our job in itself! Serov looked at Lieutenant General Tekhamiev unmoved, and said to the internal affairs police behind him, "Don't go quickly, we have something else to do......

"Yes, Director!" The internal affairs police of the General Administration of Military Administration meticulously carry out the orders of their own director, as for the three old generals in front of them, not to mention that they have been retired, even if they are still in office, they can't control the heads of these internal affairs police.

Serov and his entourage of the Moscow Military District, the forced retirement of 16 officers under the deputy chief of staff of the Moscow Military District, Colonel-General Shiniyev, spread throughout the entire Moscow Military District within a day, and the officers involved were all over the various departments of the command organ of the military district, which caused a great impact......

Half a month later, Khrushchev convened a meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and Marshal Bulganin and Marshal Voroshilov focused on discussing this issue, and finally made a resolution on Zhukov's treatment, and Serov did the same as Serov did with Admiral Shinyev, and made a resolution to retire Marshal Zhukov, and Marshal Zhukov's pension was 5,500 rubles per month.

In February 1958, Marshal Zhukov was forced to retire, and the next day Serov received a telephone call from Sherepin, and after a long phone call, Serov, who put down the phone, thought for a long time and called a meeting of the cadres of the Main Directorate of Military Administration, at which he said, "In view of the harmfulness of the Bonapartist elements, Chairman Sherepin means that an investigative operation will be carried out in all sixteen military districts of the country, and from now on, the only task of our Third General Directorate will be to find out the unhealthy Bonapartist elements. to clean these dangerous people out of the great Soviet Red Army ......"
