Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 689: we must win
"If the general secretary of the Communist Party, Kanhal, is smarter, he should seize this opportunity to immediately annex the Socialist Party. If he sees the rapid expansion of the Socialist Party within a month, he should do so. The Socialist Party has lost its leader, has no leader, and has no time. Precipitation, it is very easy to beat now." Serov thought for a while and called Andropov.
For a whole day, the two were discussing how to merge the entire leftist force under the banner of the Portuguese Communist Party. Finally, Andropov said meaningfully, "Suarez's death... Forget it, I shouldn't ask this question."
"I only do things that are beneficial to the country!" Serov did not answer this question directly, and the two of them were tacit.
Subsequently, the leader of the CPLP, Alvaro Canhal, and another CPLP minister, Avalino Gonzávez, issued a statement strongly condemning the assassination, because at the time of the assassination Suarez was publishing Portugal's move to society. The timing of this assassination is easily reminiscent of right-wing parties, even if everyone has no evidence, the murderer has not been caught.
People in the revolutionary period were unreasonable. Portugal immediately gathered more than 100,000 people to march, demanding the government to investigate the murderers. There was a fierce conflict between the left and right forces. However, because the socialist leader Suarez had just died, the supporters of socialism were huge. , won the conflict.
Then the development of things took a turn. The Portuguese Communist Party announced the merger of the Portuguese Socialist Party. Of course, this is quite critical within the Socialist Party. It is more appropriate to say that it is an annexation rather than a merger. The strength gap between the two parties is very obvious, but in this case the socialists cannot resist, and the only prestigious party leader Suarez has been assassinated. They also need the Communist Party to help Suarez get justice.
Another reason why the Socialists agreed to the merger was that the Portuguese Communist Party declared the Armed Forces Movement the guarantor of democracy. The CPLP developed close relations with Carvajo, General Vasco Gonzavis and other members of the Committee of Seven. The Armed Forces Movement then became the most important decision-making body in Portugal. The leadership of the armed forces movement rests in the hands of a twenty-member executive committee whose decisions are usually approved by a congress of two hundred and forty delegates.
The Council of Twenty included the chairman of the National Salvation Committee and six other members, five military ministers (the prime minister, two ministers of nothing, the minister of the interior and the minister of labor) and the commander of the "Armed Intervention" team, Odillo Saleva De Calvajo. Throughout the revolution, the leaders of the "Armed Intervention" groups pledged that they would eventually arm the working class.
Because the Portuguese Communist Party has exerted a huge influence on the military, the socialists also know the importance of establishing links with the military. In the case that the leader of the party, Suarez, has been assassinated, the socialists finally compromised and agreed to merge with the Communist Party. Continue to operate in the name of the Communist Party.
"We still overestimate the integrity of the Second International. They are as weak in the knees as their predecessors. Whether the Communist Party threatens them or the bourgeoisie threatens them, they will always compromise. So we still have to be clear with the Second International. Don’t be influenced by them.” Serov dismissed his evaluation of the ancestors of the later generations of white leftists. He originally thought that the Socialist Party would have to resist, whether it was against the Communist Party or the right-wing party in Portugal, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly.
The Portuguese Communist Party chose to cooperate with the Armed Forces Movement and seized the Socialist Party's organ newspaper La La Republica, which is equivalent to integrating all the pro-socialist forces. At least one thing is now clear, there is no Socialist Party to divert the supporters of the Communist Party. This is equivalent to a basic plan, which can face the other bourgeois People's Democratic Party in a more united manner.
If there is no interference between the US and the Soviet Union, even if it is a civil war in Portugal, the Communist Party has a great chance of winning. However, since neither the United States nor the Soviet Union will watch, it is best not to break out a civil war. For the Iberian Peninsula, the **** Spanish civil war 40 years ago is not a good memory, and the United States and the Soviet Union do not want to stand against Portugal. .
The United States, which had just returned from its defeat in Vietnam, could not forcefully send troops to support it regardless of public opinion. If the Soviet Union would first need to deal with the millions of NATO soldiers in front of it, it would be impossible, if not impossible, to do so.
simply solved a hidden danger in advance through an assassination. From the perspective of the Soviet Union, Serov hated the socialists of the Second International. These Engels believers had forgotten the most basic thing about a socialist movement, the spirit of resistance. Always use compromise to solve problems, it is very easy to be bought. The result of the white-left rampage in Europe in later generations has a lot to do with these traitors who endorsed the capitalists.
"Yes, Chairman, but the Trotskyites will not be easy to solve. They continue to incite the revolution." Morrigin, head of the First General Directorate, stood aside, waiting for the Chairman's order.
"This is not something we can manage. Let Pravda deal with them." When he thought of the Trotskyites, Serov instantly felt a lot bigger. In order to intervene, it has gained a lot of voice in France, and its momentum is much greater than in history. Now, as soon as it sees a revolution in Portugal, it immediately swarms.
If the Second International always compromises, then the Fourth International is too radical, and it demands world revolution at every turn. In their eyes, world revolution is easier than drinking water. In the eyes of the Fourth International, the Communist Parties of various countries are the same as Serov. The Second International was similar. Serov said that the Second International was a traitor, and the Fourth International believed that the Soviet Union was a traitor.
But now is the revolutionary period, it is better to keep these people than to keep the socialists, and there will be opportunities to clean up these people in the future.
Goryunov and Meshatsev are more skilled in doing this kind of thing than they are. He Serov is a little self-aware. He has no great accomplishments in these papers on Marxism-Leninism. In the eyes of others, he is a security cadre, a very dangerous security cadre.
"You're back?" Yeliana and Valiya were chatting on the sofa when they returned home. When they saw their men coming back, they came over, one took off his hat and the other helped take off his coat, which made the general political commissar's heart feel alarmed, and his body was numb. stiffen up. He suddenly felt uncomfortable after receiving such a good treatment.
"Well, you? Forget it, I'm going to see if my daughter has done her homework." In addition to the two women, there are only two daughters left in the villa. His sons all live on campus, and he is also very worried about too many family members. It is difficult to explain the question about Yelena's identity. Only the eldest daughter is more sensible and understandable, while the younger daughter is ignorant and cannot understand the relationship at all.
"What is Yulia doing?" Shelov went upstairs to the door of his daughter's room and shouted first, and then slowly opened the door. The eldest daughter is his pride, and he is writing hard under the lamp without disturbing his daughter. , he sat and waited.
After a while, Yulia, who had grown into a big girl, put down the pen, tilted her head and asked, "Father, the political teacher always said that we are bound to win, but you also said that the capitalist camp They are stronger than us as a whole. Since they are developing at the same time, their population is larger, and the local development rate is faster. Isn’t our country always behind?”
"In your political class, because our country has eliminated wage differences, you don't feel it at school, but once you go to society, you students will know that what we have eliminated is only the superficial class, the class It has always existed, but it will only be discovered in the Soviet Union after careful observation. While taking the political class, in fact, if the conditions allow, your mother should find a way to send out a group of students every year to experience it in ordinary countries. It’s too expensive to wait until later.” Shelov shrugged, the KGB has money, but it can’t send millions of students abroad to experience life in the third world every year.
"Father, you're digressing, what I'm asking is how we can defeat the capitalist camp." Yulia held her smile very seriously, reminding her father that she wasn't asking this question.
"Oh, off topic, right!" Serov said with a haha, a rare blushing in front of his daughter, "Well, Yulia, I'll tell you a story, the story of the reform of the Gracchus brothers in the late Roman Republic. "
In the expectation of his daughter, Serov told this story. Two thousand years ago, when the Roman Republic entered its late stage, a large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of a few manor owners. The manor owners used slaves to reduce production costs, and a large number of farmers lost because of competition Land, sold into slavery. The source of the Roman army was threatened. The Gracchus brothers, who were aristocrats, introduced a reform policy to limit the land area of the manor owners. This reform touched the interests of the nobles of the Senate.
In the end the Gracchus were killed by the Senate. Roman citizens lost the way to safeguard their own interests through legal means, and the life of the Roman Republic entered a countdown.
"Brother Gracchus just wanted to limit the rights of some senates and give ordinary people some way to live. They were killed, and then Caesar, who was of the same noble background but held the same opinion, forgave the senate, but he was also assassinated, when When the Senate thought that all threats were eliminated, the people who finally buried them appeared. The continuous assassination had made the ancient Romans lose hope. At this time, they united with Octavian and wiped out all the nobles of the Senate. "Sherov hugged his grown daughter and said, "The story of the Grago brothers has appeared in our time. Do you think the death of the Kennedy brothers is very similar?"
"The ruling class will not be restrained, and it is impossible to expect them to restrain themselves. Killing a few people just delays the problem. They will expand their territory indefinitely, and will eventually make ordinary people unbearable, so we must win." ( To be continued~^~)
