Big Time 1958 - Chapter 974
In the context of this de-escalation of the hostage, the Soviet Union and the United States also have to make a gesture. In the end, Reagan did not make any concessions on the Star Wars program. After returning home, the American media boiled over, thinking that this was a huge victory for the United States over the Soviet Union. In the absence of any concessions, the Soviet Union made concessions to accept the conditions of the United States.
Reagan, who received praise, said that he had communicated with the Soviet Union that the Soviet Airlines flight would return the hostages in Libya, and the Soviet Union immediately responded and confirmed the news. At this point, Reagan finally broke free from the quagmire of the Libyan hostage crisis.
When the first Soviet airline flight, which was recognized by the United States, landed, the family members waiting anxiously at the airport, the expressions of these family members touched the hearts of the entire United States through the camera’s perspective. It seems that through this hostage crisis, the entire United States has begun to unite again, and people will also support Reagan’s policy of developing armaments.
“In this world, the general public is in a position to receive information. There is nothing that cannot be brainwashed. As long as the brainwashed person can pass the level in his heart, the brainwashed person can’t resist.” Shelov left a little late. , he also needs to visit Eastern European countries, accompanied by the Minister of the Central Liaison Department Zweigong.
When the two anti-revolutionary workers talked about this matter, they were more about analyzing the operation techniques to see if they could learn something.
“That’s right, maybe we really need to learn more in some places.” General Zweigon was very modest, and the person next to him was his dual leader, that is, the general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the chairman of the Soviet National Security Committee.
“It’s good to learn how to deceive Americans, but don’t learn to deceive your own people.” Shelov closed his eyes and snorted, swaying with the rhythm of the train, “Adjust our own state, this time is really the decisive time. ,almost…”
This train is speeding across the vast plains of Eastern Europe, just like the current Soviet Union, the future is bright…
Although he has left the blame to the Eastern European countries, he still needs to stabilize public opinion. Only by stabilizing himself can he defeat the enemy. It is necessary to stabilize the current public opinion, that is because Serov has to continue to make concessions, so that Reagan can rest assured and boldly confirm the judgment in his heart that the Soviet Union will fail…
The main reason for the Northern Cluster to withdraw to the country and reduce the pressure on Western Europe is that the Soviet Union has insufficient troops in the Caucasus. After the victory over Turkey, the Soviet troops in the Caucasus have been transferred to Eastern Europe. Not capable of attacking. The situation was similar to that of the Soviet Army in the Far East.
No one dared to attack the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, but now the strength of the Caucasus region is not enough to attack the outside world. The Soviet Union looks very scary, but in fact does not have the ability to send troops to intervene. Serov does not intend to disarm, but it does not mean that he wants to expand the army. He can only tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and bring back the troops that were placed in Eastern Europe more than ten years ago.
In terms of the number of soldiers, in recent years, the Soviet Union, which has taken all the Eastern European socialist countries in a row, even if most of the troops of the northern group are taken back into the country, the military strength of the Warsaw Pact still far exceeds that of NATO. After securing the Warsaw Pact between Albania and Yugoslavia, the force has increased by nearly 500,000, and the force drawn back from the plan is only about 200,000.
“It’s also time for us to put on a high stance and paralyze the Western European countries. Concentrate our strength and kill the United States.” Serov fiddled with the pen in front of him and said flatly, “I have a plan, but I still need to wait. Time, but the gesture is only made to Western Europe alone, and the United States is still attacking our ally, no matter how small or unimportant this ally is, we must resist.”
The entire Central Presidium members silently listened to the General Secretary’s speech, and it is not yet time for them to speak.
“I’ve decided, the opportunity is fleeting, and it must be seized.” The general secretary who was lying on the table slowly straightened his back, moving very slowly, like an old man with a heavy load, but full of strength , with a conceited expression, “I have decided, no matter how big the odds are, I will try to kill the United States. The problem cannot be delayed indefinitely, the result of the Cold War will come out sooner or later, I hope in our generation of leaders Finish.”
“Future leaders have only one task, and that is to move forward with communism on the basis of socialism. And our task is to defeat this destined enemy.” Serov stared at all the members of the Central Presidium, no Letting go of anyone’s expression, he said coldly, “I am willing to walk with anyone, but I will not stop because someone can’t keep up!”
“All the relaxation policy towards Europe is to be handed over to Comrade Foreign Minister Gromyko!” As soon as he finished speaking, Foreign Minister Gromyko nodded solemnly, his expression more serious than ever.
“The support and partisanship of our allies, General Zweigun, Minister of the Central Liaison Department, I hope you will take more care.”
General Zweigong, the head of the Central Liaison Department, stood up, solemnly bowed to the general secretary with a military force, and then sat down again.
“For foreign armed support and intelligence work, and General Chebrikov’s work, I am relatively at ease. As for domestically stabilizing the national order and maintaining the integrity of the cadre class. General Fedorchuk, General Bobkov! Shelov said by name again, “These departments are the departments I am most familiar with, I hope you don’t let me down.”
The KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Central Supervisory Committee are the departments that Serov controls most thoroughly. The credit is not only his own, but also Semichasny, Shelepin, and the original group of the Communist Youth League bosses.
“The operation of the national economic system, I hope Comrade Tykhonov and Romanov care. I don’t worry about the military, so I won’t say more!” Serov stood up and looked at these old people of different ages, and said solemnly, “We must not lose, we cannot afford to lose, there is no second chance for the proletarians to stand up. If the poor people of this world, if they want to live more dignifiedly and more like a human being, the Soviet Union must keep going well.”
There will be no more opportunities like the First World War. Under normal circumstances, the state apparatus is extremely powerful, and the underlying voice can be diluted layer by layer, and in the end, these people will not be allowed to make a sound at all. In the years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party was unable to counterattack. It is conceivable how difficult it is for such a party to rise.
Without the Soviet Union, the entire socialist camp would not exist. In today’s socialist countries, the Soviet Union has made great efforts.
If there really is any socialist power in the world, the whole country has this temperament, then only the Soviet Union meets this definition. This country was established from hostility and has come to today step by step.
“Don’t go home yet, just follow the road I pointed out.” The time of the general secretary after get off work is entirely his own. He has to do something according to his own heart. The time is not long. The special car from the Kremlin stopped at Shere. The door of the flat house.
The gradually aging Komsomol Eagle opened the door, stunned for a moment, then laughed lightly, and let Serov in. During this process, the two did not talk, and it seemed that everything was silent.
For the arrival of Serov, the former Soviet giant was very happy, and quickly picked up the phone. Not long after, Yegolychev, Semichasny, Goryunov, and Mychatsev came to Shelepin’s home one after another. .
They are all old, and even Serov will soon be sixty years old, completely saying goodbye to the word young and powerful.
Just like before, everyone sat together and talked about the current situation and work. At the center is still Shelepin, even though they have all been out of the political center for a long time, as in the past, never change.
“How does it feel to be the general secretary? Yura!” Shelepin had a flat smile on his face, just watching Serov shouting his nickname, he seemed to have completely let go of everything in the past, “I lost to Brezhne. Husband, but in the end I still won, and everyone knows that you are our friend.”
“In a rare opportunity, I met a lot of young and ideal cadres. Sometimes I think, if you are still here today, maybe there are many things, I don’t need to worry so much.” Sheloff laughed, He took a glass of vodka and drank it without any scruples, as if aftertaste, “The past is really worth remembering…”
“It’s all over, aren’t we doing well now?” Yegolychev replied indifferently, “Politics is just an experience in life, we still have our own lives. Just as we were called by the state earlier, Participate in the Great Patriotic War.”
“This is an experience that I lack. Sometimes I think, I should have been born a few years earlier and participated in the Great Patriotic War like you!” Shelov shook his head, he couldn’t understand the kind of inspiration from the motherland of the Soviet Union, who led the way. Many people who entered the battlefield with the determination to die, then said, “I am now planning an operation to prepare to withdraw the northern group to the country.”
“According to what I know about you, there should be a big move, but I don’t want to ask.” Yegolychev said as if I couldn’t stand it, “Now that you are our general secretary, something happens again. It’s not something we can deal with.”
Others nodded. The reason why this little brother was not sent to **** at that time was entirely because Shelepin was Khrushchev’s secretary. Khrushchev trusted Shelepin very much, and with anyone else, Shelov would be finished.
Shelov nodded in agreement, and until the end of the night, the general secretary, who was already drunk, lived directly here.
The next day, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported for the first time that the Soviet Union was preparing to partially withdraw its troops from Eastern Europe.
