Big Time 1958

v1 Chapter 216: the real test

   It was not until late at night that Serov returned to his home, which was the new home he moved to when he was promoted to the first vice-chairman. Before that, he had just ordered the KGB's General Directorate of Technical Management to make a crystal coffin, and notified Major General Nikolai Zakharov, who was in charge of the Ninth General Directorate, to prepare, and the action time was set after the 22nd National Congress next year. On the other hand, the KGB made preliminary preparations. He opened the door with the key, and when he heard the sound of water, and when he saw a pair of black leather boots, he knew that his wife had returned.

   "Fortunately, I didn't bring Ise Motney back today!" How could Serov, who heard the sound of water, not know that his wife was taking a bath? Putting a pair of leather shoes on the shoe rack, he walked straight to the outside of the bathroom and asked, "Valia? Are you back?"

The shadow in the bathroom froze for a moment, and Valya opened the door suspiciously, only to be relieved when she saw her husband, complaining, "Scare me, didn't I say I'll be back in two days? Have you eaten yet? Wait for me. I'll cook for you after washing..."

   "Have eaten, I just got home today and rested first?" Serov was obviously not in a good mood because he took on a job that was quite disgusting. After saying a few words, he turned on the lights in the hall, holding a revolutionary novel in his hand and looking with relish. No matter what, you must believe in the existence of ideals, otherwise the cadres will no longer believe in communism, and do you still expect the people to support the country and confront the United States?

   After reading the novel for a while, I feel that my mind is getting more and more confused, and looking up at the chandelier above my head is quite dazzling. This was the first time he learned of Khrushchev's thoughts. Serov threw the novel on the sofa, closed his eyes and faced the chandelier, hoping to use the stimulation of the strong light to keep himself from thinking wildly.

  Khrushchev's opposition to Stalin would not succeed at all. No matter what, it was Stalin who led the Soviet Union to win the Great Patriotic War and established the socialist camp, not him. Khrushchev's anti-Stalin approach was too extreme. And it will have no effect at all, and the impact will only tear apart the spiritual sustenance of the Soviet Union. Since Stalin is not worthy of worship, who will worship Khrushchev? Don't look at the fact that the current cadres criticize Stalin more than anyone else, but in fact few people are sincere. It can be seen from history that in fact, Suslov, Brezhnev and Shelepin have no ill feelings for Stalin. . It's just because Khrushchev is the first secretary, so what if he is not the first secretary?

Serov can conclude that Suslov is the most staunch Stalinist, but Khrushchev may not have thought that most of the cadres he promoted actually felt that Stalin was a little better, especially since the internal problems of the Soviet Union in the past two years began. more and more. Either the food problem or the meat supply problem, Serov only temporarily curbed the worsening situation for a year or two.

"Yuri, what's the matter today!" There was a cold touch on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the woman's worried look, which warmed Serov's heart, and the corner of his mouth pulled out a smile and replied weakly, "Yes, then. I have a job that I have conflict with my heart. I don’t feel well…”

   It was only then that Serov saw that Valya was really boldly wearing her dark blue military coat, which should be naked. In view of this, Serov stood up and took his wife's hand upstairs.

  Valia unbuttoned her coat, lying on the big bed with her jade body splayed out, holding her head with her jade hand, and looked at her husband like that, just as Serov had estimated. After taking a shower, she wore nothing inside. Just walked out of the bathroom with a coat and bare feet.

"Ma'am, you want to make people commit crimes like this. What if you say that I have good eyesight?" Serov leaned over to Valya with a pleasing look on his face, kissed the goddess in his heart and said, "It's only because of you. Feels like home..."

With a faint smile, Valiya got up and knelt on the bed, patted her stomach and said, "The production workshop is good, the nutrition is good!" A pair of jade hands moved from her chest to her waist and provocatively said, "The most important thing is flexibility. Sex is good, any pose can be done..."

I don't know how long they have been entangled, and after tossing the bedroom into a mess, the two who both declared their victory hugged each other tightly, and the woman who was pressing on Shelov asked softly, "What should happen to me? Say, it's uncomfortable to hold in your heart? Didn't you say that there is nothing in this world that you can't solve?"

"When you said it casually, did you still take it seriously?" Sheloff said with a wry smile, holding the woman's cheek and kissing heavily, "I did think so before, but this time my country and I have encountered the biggest problem. If I can’t get over it, I don’t even dare to think about the outcome of the Cold War, and every time I think of us as the loser, I get a headache and can’t sleep!”

  Can the Soviet Union win the Cold War? To win, this premise must be based on the integrity of the entire socialist camp. Even if China and the Soviet Union cannot be as close as one family, China must remain neutral in the battle between the Soviet Union and the United States, because China is also a socialist country, even if it is neutral. It will not fall to the United States. He knew that the real test that he had been tossing for seven or eight years was about to come. If this test could not pass, there would be no hope of defeating the United States. Without China, the biggest victory for the Soviet Union was to tie the Cold War, but because the Soviet Union was the weaker party , the situation will eventually become more and more unfavorable.

   The result of the Cold War in history is not that socialism is inferior to capitalism, nor that the planned economy is inferior to the market economy. The reason is very simple, strength! Since the end of World War II, nearly 30 million people were killed in the Soviet Union. The strength of the two sides is not on the same level. One of the allies of the United States is a former imperialist power. Some countries such as Bulgaria and Romania on the Soviet side, many people think These countries are poor because of socialism, Serov is curious to know how good were these Eastern European countries before socialism? Can it be compared with the British Empire and the French Empire?

To attribute the backwardness of Eastern European countries to the Soviet Union is as ridiculous as to attribute the disintegration of the Soviet Union to Stalin. Some people think that the Soviet Union is a problem of Stalin's system, but since Stalin became the leader of the Soviet Union, he defeated Germany in economic development. In building the socialist camp, he has done everything he can, and perhaps the only thing he has not done is to destroy the United States. Later leaders destroyed everything, then pointed at Stalin and said, We lost because Stalin didn't destroy America?

   The reason why Serov blamed Stalin on the textbooks he had learned before was because of the reforms. But it can never be said that the Stalinist system is not suitable for the Soviet Union. The Stalinist system in the Soviet Union can be supplemented, not demolished. A great man like Ge Map, who is seen once in a thousand years, unfortunately fell in the Soviet Union, but he does not necessarily only fall in the Soviet Union. If the United States was like the Soviet Union, facing a collective of imperialist powers, it might kneel faster than the Soviet Union, and it wouldn't last until the 1990s.

   "You mean that the socialist camp is in danger of splitting?" Valya is very smart, she is not ignorant of the events of the past year, and considering her husband's work, it is easy to think of her husband's worries.

"If we want to win, we must hold on to China. The United States alone is not terrible. What is terrible is the countries around the United States. Now the United States has not realized the strength of its allies, but as long as our country and the United States are close in strength, sooner or later, they will be forced to Let the United States start borrowing these allies!" Shelov shook his head helplessly, shoved his head into Valya's chest and whispered, "If China is lost, Siberia needs at least one million troops to guard the border, after all, there The border is too long."

   "Didn't you plan a lot of actions? Can't think of a way?" Valya suggested through gritted silver teeth.

Serov took a deep breath, looked up at his wife in surprise, but immediately explained, "The most direct and effective way to deal with a socialist country is to assemble the army to push hard. Except for this method, all the Pressure does not work, because the political system built by our Soviet Union is unbelievably stable, and it is especially suitable for super-capable leaders, such as our General Secretary Stalin. It is easy to deal with Western European countries, and their system makes it easy for us Intervention, but in the face of a stable socialist country, there is absolutely no room for us to intervene, even Yugoslavia can't do anything about it, not to mention that the other party is a big country with tens of millions of square kilometers."

   "Isn't my husband always claiming to be omniscient and omnipotent?" Valya propped her head up, stretched a hand to the man's chest, and tugged at Serov's chest hair mischievously. In fact, she just casually said that the Soviet Union can't even deal with Albania, let alone other countries.

   In the end, Serov told Valya that he had accepted Khrushchev's order to move Stalin's tomb. Hearing this news, Valya was also sad, and now he understands why Serov is in such a low mood today. When Serov and Valya grew up, Stalin was a widely respected father of all ethnic groups. I didn’t expect that Khrushchev would be so unreasonable to Stalin in just a few years, and that such unsuitable people would appear in just a few years. Changes, even these people are like this, those people in the Soviet Union can imagine how much impact they have been hit.

"We will win, we will definitely win, this is what you said, and what you said will definitely come true!" Valiya turned over and pulled up the lamp, tempting in the dark, "Things are still to be done, just like you As I said, as long as it's not a fight, everything can make up for it, my husband, he will never give up his goal..."

Early the next morning, Varya took out a change of clothes for Serov to put on. Because the two worked in different positions for a long time, Varya was always attentive to help the man change his clothes every time he came back, and finally put the big-brimmed hat on. Buttoned it up on her husband, leaned on Serov and said to the mirror, "My husband, there is a kind of confidence that everything is under control..." Is everything under control? Serov doesn't like this metaphor. Isn't this a self-deceiving ghost island in later generations? (To be continued~^~)
