The Moscow Military District is a large military district with a total of 150,000 people, and this number naturally cannot be compared with China, which is also a socialist country, but the number of military districts in the Soviet Union is second to none. The total number of troops in the 16 military districts of the Soviet Union was only more than 1 million, and in fact, for the vast territory of the Soviet Union, the number of troops was not large at all, but too small. The reason for this is that nearly half of the strength of the Soviet Red Army is actually stationed at the forefront of the confrontation between Eastern Europe and NATO, so there will be a situation where there are not many combat units under the large military districts, and the situation in the Moscow Military District is quite good.

"The strength of the Soviet Red Army on its own territory is not necessarily greater than that of the various combat agencies under the KGB!" Serov counted the KGB's Border Service, the Internal Affairs Troops, the Internal Affairs Police, and came up with an optimistic result. In the absence of the intervention of the troops stationed in Eastern Europe, the gap between the KGB and the Ministry of Defense is not so big. But do you want to count heavy weapons? Serov still felt that it was better not to make a move to hit a stone with an egg.

"Lieutenant General Serov, the commander of our Moscow subordinates served as commanders of combat units under Marshal Zhukov during the war, a total of sixteen people from the colonel level! Among them, there are seven major generals and four lieutenant generals! Admiral alone! Vasily quickly called up the information that Serov needed, "Among them, there are three generals who have a good personal relationship with Zhukov!" Among them were the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Moscow Military District, Colonel-General Shinyev, the Deputy Minister of Operations, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, and the Minister of Logistics, Lieutenant General Tonya......"

"Okay, thank you for the cooperation of the Moscow Military District!" Serov flipped through the resumes of these people twice and said, "Thank you also Marshal Moskalenko for your understanding, for the emergence of dangerous Bonaparte currents in the Red Army!" I hope that Marshal Moskalenko will pay more attention to supervision, in fact, under normal circumstances, our General Directorate of Military Administration is not willing to visit the Red Army......"

Lieutenant Colonel Vasily saw that Serov was about to leave and hurriedly said, "Lieutenant General Serov, Marshal Moskalenko asked me to tell you that I hope the General Directorate of Military Administration will not use too drastic measures, he himself feels that the Bonapartist in the Red Army, although existing, is only in the bud!" Of course. For the work of the Third Main Directorate, Marshal Moskalenko will not interfere too much! ”

"Please tell Marshal Moskalenko that we will not carry out operations to undermine the combat effectiveness of the Red Army!" Serov nodded and said very seriously. The Ministry of Defense and the KGB are both powerful departments, and it would be a mistake to think that the Ministry of Defense will allow the KGB to be flattened and rounded out because it has not mobilized its forces in the country. Although conflicts between the KGB and the Ministry of Defense were few during the Cold War, they were not uncommon, and there were also cases in which representatives of the KGB garrison died unexplained.

Just because a tiger is locked in a cage doesn't mean there is no danger, if people think there is no danger, they don't know how to reach out. Be prepared to lose that hand. There is no doubt that the Ministry of Defense is the tiger, and Serov, when facing the military, always reminds himself not to be deceived by these harmless people.

Colonel-General Shinyev, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, Lieutenant General Tonya? And the files of the remaining Zhukov's subordinates of the Moscow Military District were all in Serov's hands at this time, and Serov, who got the files, immediately returned to the Third General Directorate, and the general secretary meant to eliminate the influence of Marshal Zhukov in the whole army, but not just a Moscow Military District. Serov meant that by the end of the year, all Marshal Zhukov's sworn friends would be cleared out of the Red Army, which had sixteen military districts throughout the country and four clusters in Eastern Europe. The task is still very large, so he has to hurry.

Serov, who returned to the headquarters, summoned all the section chiefs to the meeting and said, "I have just returned from the Moscow Military District, and to be honest, our Third General Directorate has not been established for a long time, and now we urgently need a chance to show our face and raise the status of our General Directorate!" You can't occupy the third place for nothing! You must also understand that the competition within the KGB is fierce, and there is actually some overlap in the work of all the Main Bureaus, and it is not impossible to have one less General Directorate! We, the Main Directorate, are in charge of the Red Army system, and it is not impossible to share! ”

Serov first said a few words in a row. Then he took out the files obtained in the Moscow Military District and instructed, "This is our first major task, you will take a look at the files of the sixteen commanders below General Shinyev!" ”

"Director, what is our focus?" Colonel Pavlov, head of the first section, asked. Colonel Pavlov is bald and has big eyes! He has a thick beard. That's not the point, the point is his name! The reason why Serov remembered the head of the first division so quickly was because this buddy and the commander of the Front who was shot by his steel classmates had the same name, which really made Serov unforgettable.

"These are sixteen commanders, and the scope of our focus is mainly on two points!" Serov propped his chin and pointed to the table with his other hand. "The first is that those people during the Second World War were the subordinate commanders of Marshal Zhukov, and one thing to remember is that especially the commanders of the direct units are the focus! The second is that the commanders who have had a close personal relationship with Marshal Zhukov in the past three years, and the generals who often go in and out of Marshal Zhukov's villa must be singled out, understand? By the way, our work will stop at the Moscow Military District for the time being! The other military regions will wait for you to deal with this matter first......"

"Understood, Director!" All the directors present replied together, Serov's eyebrows raised unnaturally, I hope this sentence is not just perfunctory to him, Serov is still waiting to see the results, the authority of the Third General Bureau is so great, don't end up in a tiger's tail, a mission failure is not a big deal, delaying the above opinion of him is a big deal.

If you can't do things as a firefighter, it is estimated that Serov will be no different from ordinary cadres. It should be said that they are not as good as ordinary cadres, and those cadres can still observe words and feelings, and Serov has not studied in the organs.

"If only you could remember your duties! The order of the central government is here, and we will carry it out! Serov waved his hand and dismissed the meeting, and the director of the Third Directorate immediately left the conference room in twos and threes, and for a time only Serov and Isenmotny were left in the huge conference room.

"Sometimes I think that these directors who don't know what department they were transferred from may not be as bold as you!" Serov looked at Isemotny's beautiful face and smiled, "You are also a person who has been on the battlefield!" ”

Serov was referring to the Hungarian bombing of the U.S. Embassy, which happened to be the commander of the Sixmotney. Hearing the boss mention that incident, the beautiful secretary who was standing on the side of the beautiful secretary had a fair face that instantly became a little rosy.

This operation to clean up the Bonapartist in the Red Army system was particularly important for the Third Directorate, which started from the Moscow Military District, and it should not be a problem to let the forces of one General Directorate deal with Zhukov's subordinates of the Moscow Military District. At least Serov himself thinks so.

The number of targets was only 16 people, and for the KGB, which was responsible for intelligence work, it was not at all difficult to find out the information of 16 ordinary people. But there are three senior generals above the rank of lieutenant general, so it's not so simple. Generals at this level have to be investigated, and they can't bypass the Ministry of National Defense.

However, Serov has other methods, and the resume of the Ministry of Defense can indeed make the investigation work go smoothly, but the KGB investigation has never believed anything in writing, and only believes that its findings are correct. So in fact, the resume of the Ministry of Defense is dispensable, and it is still possible to investigate what Serov wants without going through the Ministry of Defense.

If there is no department in the Soviet Union that will not be affected by the plan and will not be so brainless, there is no doubt that only the KGB has the most flexible attitude, and the other departments deal with information, funds and funds! The KGB deals with human beings, and in the face of criminals of all kinds of means, the KGB will always have the most powerful and flexible wrist.

From the place of birth on the file, the operational team of the 3rd Directorate General began to call the hometowns of the commanders on the list, or directly telegraph the local KGB or the Ministry of Internal Affairs in remote areas. The investigation of the Third Directorate was carried out in secret, and most of the investigators could be concealed, but among these people were three high-ranking generals with the rank of lieutenant general and above, so the rumors soon leaked out.

In the Moscow Military District, news of the KGB's investigation of the senior generals of the Red Army began to spread throughout the military district, causing a wave of discussion for a while, and finally the commander of the Moscow Military District, Marshal Moskalenko, came forward to quell these controversies.

"Marshal, now some high-ranking generals are talking about it, and some of them affect the battle of the troops!" Lieutenant Colonel Vasily, as an assistant to Marshal Moskalenko, has been closely observing the movements in the military district and said with some concern.

"People are not fools, of course they know that this investigation has something to do with Marshal Zhukov's dismissal!" Marshal Moskalenko's sunken eyes showed a little helplessness, and he said helplessly, "I can't do anything about this matter!" The investigation of the Bonapartians is an order of the Central Committee, and the Third Directorate is only the executor! They can't make a ...... out of the picture."

The investigation of the Third Directorate is definitely a huge covert deterrent for ordinary officers, but for such people as Lieutenant General Shiniev, Lieutenant General Tekhamiev, and Lieutenant General Tonya, it is neither concealed nor deterrent. These high-ranking generals have their own connections, not only are they friendly with Marshal Zhukov, but their network of connections has become very large, no one knows how many potential forces these generals have in the secret, and Serov actually doesn't know.

The investigation process rose step by step, and the next step of these friends and ministries came down to the investigation, and half a month after the investigation began, Serov's Third Directorate finally welcomed a group of guests. (To be continued.) )
