Big Time 1958

v1 Chapter 612: hardline spokesperson

This kind of remarks, fueled by some reports, was seen as a force within the Soviet Union that was dissatisfied with Brezhnev's de-escalation policy. It is considered by many analysts in Western Europe to be the face of this force.

According to the United States, Serov is the spokesperson of the hawks, while Brezhnev and Kosygin are the leaders of the Communist Party. From the meeting of the Central Presidium, it was clear that the policy was aimed at Western Europe, which was used to disintegrate the relationship between Western Europe and the Americans, and the strategic offensive in other directions was carried out at the same time.

  What many observers mean is that since the plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union will be held soon, let’s see how Brezhnev responds to this kind of noise. The Federal Republic of Germany is the most active country to ease the Soviet Union. From the standpoint of the Federal Republic of Germany, the existence of the Soviet Union has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that its own country may become cannon fodder at any time. The advantage is that even if the Soviet Union is the final victor, considering Germany’s population base and technology, Germany will still important.

   Furthermore, if the victory of the Soviet Union means that the other party is stronger, then as the loser of the two world wars, the Germans have been able to accept the outcome of willingness to accept the bet, and that's fine. At this stage, Germany, of course, hopes that the two groups will not engage in military competition. It should be too dangerous. If the Soviet Union wants to get some technical and technological support to carry out economic competition, the Federal Republic of Germany is very welcome, as are Western European countries. , except the UK…

   Then the plenary meeting of the Central Committee was held. This meeting attracted the attention of many countries because of the National Security Conference a week ago. Many countries wanted to know how Brezhnev faced this kind of argument.

"I nominated Comrade Xie Lepin to be the chairman of the Supreme Soviet. Everyone knows that Comrade Xie Lepin is an excellent cadre of our party and the country. He has demonstrated a strong working ability in various positions. We must focus on the real officers. Leading cadres should correct their work attitude, change their work style, improve work efficiency, consolidate work achievements, work hard to improve implementation, execution, implementation and creativity, concentrate their minds on their careers, and focus on promoting development On the top, put strength into the implementation, dare to manage, dare to act, be loyal to your duties, perform your duties with due diligence, and ensure the efficient and orderly progress of all work. Comrade Xie Lepin has these necessary qualities, and I believe Comrade Xie Lepin In the position of the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, he is the comrade who is most suitable to represent the image of our country." Brezhnev said word by word, holding the speech, "so I and many comrades believe that this is a correct Decide."

"The Communist Party takes Marxism-Leninism as its theoretical basis and guiding ideology, and takes the realization of communism as its lofty ideal and ultimate goal. This is the true meaning that every Communist Party member must deeply imprint in our hearts. We must not lose our ideals at any time. Don't forget the moment you join the party, the solemn commitment to fight for communism for life in front of the party flag, and don't mix yourself with ordinary people, this is the most basic political requirement of a Communist." Serov watched from the second row. Brezhnev's back, I have to admit that this is a brilliant move. Sherepin has more and more positions, and in a sense, it is more and more annoying. This decision is whether to take a fancy to Sherepin or put Sherepin on the fire. , we must look at the future situation before we can draw a conclusion.

"But how can I be the head of state, many comrades have more experience than me." Shelepin objected, "Comrade Brezhnev seems to think too highly of my ability, I have no experience in dealing with other countries. "

"How is that possible? Our country needs a young man with a good image to reflect. Shurik, you are the most suitable comrade." Brezhnev said with his usual gentle attitude, and then asked the following members of the Central Committee. Opinion. Unsurprisingly, it was approved.

Since Mikoyan stepped down from the position of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, the position of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet has been vacant. For several months, Serov remembered that Brezhnev squeezed out Podgorny. Means, reminding Shelepin of the possible election, but in fact Shelepin and Shelov still have no way to do this, because there is no reason for refusal. After all, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet is the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union, and his status is very high. Besides, Xie Lepin himself has several important positions, and he is definitely not the kind of rubber stamp that did not even get into the presidium. How to refuse in this case?

After this resolution was passed, Brezhnev began to talk about the second thing, saying, "I personally think that some remarks made by some comrades are normal, and it is permissible for comrades to have different opinions, such as Some comrades believe that in the motherland already strong to the current level, we can completely end capitalism early through competition. I do not want to criticize such remarks, but comrades must also know that peace is the mainstream of the world, and we should cooperate with Western European countries coexist peacefully, of course, this kind of remark is actually a good thing, and it shows that our party is not a single voice."

  Brezhnev responded to Serov's theory of limited sovereignty by raising it aloft and lowering it gently. This kind of reaction makes Serov find it very interesting. The theory of limited sovereignty was clearly proposed by you. Now Brezhnev has become the leader of the peace-loving Soviet Union, and the aggressive and aggravated Cold War has become himself. It is very interesting.

   At this plenary meeting of the Central Committee, Brezhnev responded lightly to Serov's speech at the Security Conference, and immediately asked Western observers who wanted to smell and analyze the farts of the Soviets to start the analysis. The end result is that the Soviet Union is not very willing to live peacefully with the West. As the new first secretary of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev should be regarded as a relatively moderate leader, but he is currently under pressure from the hardliners. Without a warning to Serov, it can be seen that the strength of the hardliners within the Soviet Union is still considerable.

   "This easing policy should get a quicker response." In Brezhnev's home, Serov did not consider himself an outsider at all. In fact, it would be beneficial to come here more often. At least I often see myself Brezhnev more at ease. Brezhnev lived in the Kremlin most of the time, but this house has not been taken back. You must know that Brezhnev's children are all grown ups and cannot always live in the Kremlin.

Before coming, Serov had met with Shelepin and Yegolychev, reminding them to pay attention to the rights of the Supreme Soviet. You must know that many cadres are part-timers, and the Supreme Soviet is not a useless institution. Departments are completely up to the leadership. Who is who, for example, Stalin was the chairman of the Council of Ministers after the 1940s, which is the role of Kosygin. Still the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.

   Stalin mainly served as the chairman of the Council of Ministers in the later period, which also caused a very serious consequence. After his death, Malenkov and Beria both scrambled for government positions, and finally Khrushchev, who was the secretary, turned his defeat into victory.

"The Federal Republic of Germany has already responded to us and will hold talks with us in January next year. I heard from Zinev and Zweigun that the relevant preparations have been completed, and when will they be ready to start." Brezhnev Serov's visit was very welcome, and he wished that the chairman of the KGB was often in his sights. Coincidentally, Serov also thinks so, and he hopes to have more contact with Brezhnev.

"Then I don't know whether there is a spokesperson for the part that opposes the relaxation policy. Of course, it is a good opportunity to show a sense of existence. According to the preparation time, just before Nixon officially announced his inauguration." Sheloff smiled lightly, "I'm going to give the anti-Soviet president a big gift package and start the offensive plan." In fact, it has been more than a month since Nixon was sworn in.
