Chapter 144: Be Prepared
"Yes, the Poles are considered an unstable factor in the socialist family!" Serov said with some empathy.
This is not Serov's inner thoughts, Serov's inner thoughts are that the Internet does not deceive me, and it is true that Sino-Japanese friendship depends on South Korea, and Soviet-German friendship depends on Poland, which can make the Soviet Union and Germany give up hostility, and only Poland between the two countries can do it if they have a common language. Even Marshal Rokossovsky, whose father was a Pole, did not expect anything from Poland.
The two chatted for a while, and Marshal Rokossovsky said, "Then you can investigate in Poland, and I will give you the greatest help!" โ
"Thank you, Marshal, this in itself is my job!" Serov rarely showed his low profile, not like the usual fool, the gap between the major general and the marshal was enough to return Serov to his normal IQ.
Polish Minister of Internal Affairs Kolginsky greeted Serov and Colonel Kudryas, the head of Dzerzhinsky's division, in the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Isemotny as the interpreter of both sides, Kolginsky was promoted by Marshal Rokossovsky, should be regarded as the executor of Stalin's line, and belonged to the hardcore pro-Soviet elements, for Marshal Rokossovsky's vision, Serov still maintained a certain degree of recognition, so he did not hide it and said directly, "Regarding the current wave of strikes in the Poznan region, What is the opinion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland? โ
"The strike in the Poznan region is just a trivial matter, the government side has already communicated with the workers' representatives!" The Minister of the Interior of Poland, Kolkinski, does not know whether he did not recognize the risks involved, or whether he really thinks that this is just a trivial matter that can be dealt with immediately. In short, this attitude made Serov very dissatisfied. Hearing Kolginsky's words, he frowned.
"Comrade Kolginsky, as a fraternal country of Poland, the USSR has the right to advise on everything in the socialist family, by the way, this comrade Colonel Kudryash, who came with me to Poland to investigate. Subordinate to the Dzerzhinsky Special Operations Division! Serov unhurriedly introduced Kudryash, who had come with him.
"Dzerzhinsky?" As soon as Kolginsky heard Serov's introduction, his face changed greatly, and when he saw Kudryash's indifferent expression, the tension in his heart suddenly increased. As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Poland, after all, there are not many things that can make Kolginski afraid, but the name Dzerzhinsky is definitely an exception. What frightened Kolginsky even more than the rank of Colonel Kudryash was the name Dzerzhinsky, which seemed to have boundless magic, so that Kolginsky had to consider the seriousness of Serov's mouth.
Serov didn't care what Kolginsky was thinking, but asked the questions he wanted to know. He said, "I don't care about the situation and strife in the Polish Party after the 20th National Congress, I only care about one thing, as the Minister of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan, I value one thing the most, the society must have a sense of security, and a society with good law and order can operate better, which is also the ...... our Ministry of Internal Affairs should do."
"General Serov. You didn't do what you said, this is indeed the duty of our Ministry of Internal Affairs! Kolginsky said and thought, this man from the KGB of the Soviet Union. What the hell are you here for? If it were in normal times, Kolginsky might not have thought about it so much, but an officer of Dzerzhinsky's division next to him followed, so Kolginsky couldn't help but think about it too much.
"Then Comrade Kolginsky will definitely agree with my words below!" Serov stood up and stared at Kolginsky and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs, as a state security organ, must always be aligned with national interests. Sometimes, it may be a last resort! But we have to think about the bigger picture. A little sacrifice is worth it......"
"I am ready to cooperate with the work of the Soviet comrades!" Kolginsky groaned for a long time, not knowing what kind of psychological struggle he had gone through. In the end, Serov gave the answer he wanted.
Dealing with the Minister of Internal Affairs Kolginsky is only the first step, a Poznan incident is actually not a big deal compared to the Hungarian incident, but the Poznan incident has caused a very bad consequence, that is, the Polish power that broke away from the Soviet Union came to power, adding infinite disgust to the Soviet Union in the coming decades. In fact, compared with the capitalist camp of the United States, the socialist camp is definitely not stable, and countries that do not obey the Soviet Union abound, on the one hand, there is a highly homogeneous social structure, and problems often affect more than one country, and on the other hand, the simplest and most direct aspect is that compared with the United States, the hard power of the Soviet Union is really insufficient.
To put it simply, there is no money! There is a shortage of people in this world, that is, there is no shortage of people who like to daydream, and generally improving life requires their own efforts, and even if they work hard, they may still not have the results they expect. Hard work takes time, and no country is destitute on the first day and palatial on the second. However, the hope of the people is to achieve explosive development, and it is best to surpass Britain in one day and catch up with the United States in two days, and it is best for others to work hard to achieve their goals, and it is best to sit back and enjoy the results themselves!
Economic problemsSerov thinks that he is not an expert, and a spy can change a fart economy, only he has that kind of status, but the Poznan incident can no longer wait, Poland is not Yugoslavia, Albania, once Poland has problems, it will cut the front line of the Cold War confrontation to pieces, which Serov cannot bear.
"Colonel Kudryash, if the soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky division are allowed to sneak into the Poznan region in batches, will they be discovered!" Serov, who left the building of the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs, looked at the calm streets of Warsaw and did not know how long this silence would last.
"It depends on the specific conditions, which is almost impossible if we go it alone. More than 2,000 soldiers, say too much, say no less! If it's in the country, it's pretty easy. I could divide the soldiers into small groups and sneak into the Poznan region in makeup, but this is Poland, and our soldiers are all Soviets and will be recognized! "Colonel Kudryash told the truth and did not put satellites indiscriminately in Serov.
"What if it's hidden in the Polish People's Army?" Serov asked, pulling the car door and looking back.
"If the number of people is not more than five hundred, you can give it a try!" Colonel Kudryash thought for a moment and said, "No more, Polish and Russian, though not completely incommunicable. But locals can still hear the difference! โ
Poznaล is the capital of Poznan Province, bordering the Varta River, in the center of the Greater Polish Plain, and is one of the largest industrial, transport, cultural, educational and scientific research centers in Poland. There are a variety of scientific research institutions. There are many industrial sectors, mainly in machinery manufacturing. And there are metallurgy, chemical, rubber, textile and other industries. For Poland, this heavy industrial city is second only to Warsaw.
However, for Serov, Poznan appeared in Serov's mind for the first time, only because Germany blitzed Poland and annihilated Poznan's army. Otherwise, Serov would not have known that there was such a place.
After visiting the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Serov went on his next leg of the trip, visiting Federsky, the head of the Ministry of Machine-Building Industry, and Kvosevich, the chairman of the trade union, while Colonel Kudryash returned to the barracks of the Soviet army in Poland and began to select soldiers of the Dzerzhinsky division. Get ready to dive into Poznan.
When Serov faced the two Polish ministers, he did not face Marshal Rokossovsky's restraint at all, because even if he angered the two Polish real power figures, it was a big deal that Serov would pat his ass and the Soviet Union if the matter was resolved, and there was no two people who had the opportunity to wear small shoes for themselves.
"Distinguished Comrade Federsky and Comrade Kลosievich, I heard that representatives of Poznan have come to Warsaw to negotiate with the two!" Serov said frivolously, "One of the strange things to me is that there are only 10,000 workers on strike. Even if all the conditions of the workers are agreed, as long as they buy time. Things will always be resolved, so why can't the Polish government come up with a workable solution until now? โ
"Comrade Serov. You don't understand our difficulties! In fact, communicating with workers is not what we say! This involves some problems in our party! Federsky and Kลosievic looked at each other and said straight to the point, "The Poznan International Exposition is about to open, and at this time the workers in Poznan are on strike, obviously taking this opportunity to provoke the government. Once the workers' demands are met, workers' strikes become commonplace. Do we want to go back step by step in the future? โ
In all fairness. This argument is bureaucratic enough, but if you think about it, it can't be said to be completely unreasonable. The government will not back down on such occasions. To tell the truth, the more attention is grabbed, the less the government will back down in order to maintain its authority. But the people don't see it that way, and if Serov were an ordinary person, he would naively think that if there was a fuss at such a time, the government would definitely accede to the demands of the workers, but in reality this was not the case at all.
The authority of the government and the ideas of the people are often contradictory at this time, and the more the government wants to maintain its authority, the more it cannot retreat. When popular anger is ignited, it often becomes a big incident.
"In any case, I hope that the Polish government will listen to the voice of the people!" Serov tried several times to solve the problem directly once and for all, but in the end he could not be ruthless and was able to solve it peacefully. Serov also did not want the soldiers of Dzerzhinsky's division to come forward, and once this group of guys struck, it could be even bigger than the Poznan incident in history.
Now Serov felt that he had to persuade Federsky and Kลosievich first, and after organizing the language, he said, "A temporary compromise does not mean unprincipled concessions, and it can buy us time." I am here this time, not only about the events in Poznan, but also because I am going to stay in Poland for a while, Comrade Khrushchev is very serious about the situation in the Polish party, and maybe I can help you solve the problems that this government is experiencing......"
Serov's meaning is obvious, aren't the reformers who broke away from the Soviet Union making trouble, Lao Tzu will help you kill them!
"We need to think about it, after all, there are people in the government who are pulling us back!" Kลosievic paused and said.
"I await the good news from the two ministers!" Serov bowed his head to show his understanding, then withdrew from Federsky's house and went out of the door; Perhaps the soldiers of Dzerzhinsky's division need to turn their guns, it seems that Poland, which has broken away from the Soviet Union, is getting stronger and stronger! (To be continued)
PS: To put it simply, I have been in a contradiction recently, and I am always afraid of stepping on thunder. Gentlemen gather in my Soviet Union
