"The treatment plan is to adopt a precautionary warning mechanism. For some leaders, they have been sent to depression rehabilitation centers for treatment, and the remaining participants have been detained." First Vice Chairman Bobkov reported.
"This war has really tried something." Shelov quickly browsed the information, then slapped the information on the table, and said fiercely, "There will always be a result, and all the people who make trouble have to deal with it, you guys. Hurry up and do it…”
"Yes!" Everyone, including the two first vice-chairmen, the two vice-chairmen, and the heads of the major bureaus, was silent.
There are many Turkic-speaking peoples in the Soviet Union. According to Turkish standards, the five Soviet republics in Central Asia in the Soviet Union, except for the Tajiks, are all Turkic-speaking peoples. For this kind of confidant, the KGB, which prides itself on maintaining national security, has always been very vigilant. Because of the riots in the attack on Turkey, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, the appearance of this kind of thing is enough to make the KGB very alert.
After arriving at the Kremlin, just after being congratulated, Serov said directly, "We must take advantage of this time to completely eradicate Turkey's influence, otherwise it will always affect some ethnic groups in our country, and Turkey must be completely dismembered."
The most direct impact of the Soviet Union’s attack on Turkey was that, as the guardian of Turkey’s secularization, the Turkish military suffered a devastating blow. It can be said that the prestige of the Turkish military plummeted after the war, with heavy losses from strength to prestige. It will become a peaceful country sooner, which is foreseeable by Serov.
If you want to cut off Turkey's hand to other countries, a very important step is to make Turkey itself very weak, which the Soviet Union has done now, as long as Turkey is weak and impoverished in the future. It is believed that there is no ability to influence Turkic-speaking peoples in other countries.
"There are some problems, we all understand." Brezhnev nodded clearly. Except for Sherest, all the Central Presidiums were Great Russianists. They understood that if the Soviet Union wanted stability, it had to do this. "This matter can be done slowly. My main other thing is that it is not easy to decide in your absence. You have a unique understanding of national security. Now our military institutions must conform to the current large-scale Strategy, I believe you also understand."
means reform and military reform, which does not involve the Soviet Union's armament system, but the reform of the Soviet Union's command system, which is in line with the current Soviet strategy of global offensive.
But from Serov's point of view, Brezhnev is wrong about one thing, that is, he, the general political commissar of international security, doesn't know much about military affairs. Serov's favorite thing to do is that I can hit you, but you can't hit me. , he wished that his opponents were all natives with big knives and spears, and they simply used weapons to crush each other.
This new command structure plan was formulated by Defense Minister Marshal Grechko. In addition to maintaining the organization of the sixteen military regions and four major groups in the Soviet Union, the division of world theaters is also required. In addition to the four major clusters in Europe itself, several war zones must be divided. Serov is not unfamiliar with this model. This is how the United States is divided in later generations. The KGB has also divided regions around the world to train special agents to work.
Defense Minister Marshal Grechko's theater plan mainly divides four major theaters, mainly to establish four theater commands, including the most important Middle East theater except Europe, the African theater excluding North Africa, including East Asia. and Southeast Asia, the Eastern theater of Australia, and the American theater of operations including North and South America.
Compared with the more than a dozen intelligence divisions of the First General Administration of the KGB divided by language habits, the newly emerged four major war zones, except for the Middle East theater, cover a very large area, especially the American theater and the Eastern theater, involving many countries. .
In order to command the four major European clusters, sixteen domestic military regions and four major world war zones, and to re-establish the National Defense Committee, as the unified command organization of the Soviet Union's global offensive, the chairman is the supreme leader of the Soviet armed forces.
"Re-establishing the National Defense Committee?" Serov heard this sentence and glanced at Brezhnev secretly, thinking in his heart. If he guessed correctly, this is actually the most important thing. And it was also a plan proposed by Brezhnev at the behest of Brezhnev, so the chairman of the Soviet Defense Committee should be Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The chairman of the Soviet Defense Committee is actually the commander-in-chief of the entire Soviet armed forces.
"Yura, your friend does not have any opinion." Brezhnev waited until Marshal Grechko finished describing the plan, and asked, listening intently, as if seeking the opinions of others.
"No opinion, a very good suggestion." Shelov sighed in his heart, looking very happy on the surface.
Beside Brezhnev, Serov always had an uncomfortable feeling, and he wanted to resist this feeling, but he knew in his heart that it was almost impossible to resist. This is not at all the same as when he faced foreign problems. Brezhnev rose too early, he has been catching up, and he can only maintain that he is not pulled too far.
As a Soviet joke said, the Americans asked the Soviets if they dared to scold Brezhnev. He didn’t know if others dared. The formation of this situation, even Xie Lepin can't solve it, and he, as a latecomer, has no way to solve it.
"Then I agree to Marshal Grechko's plan out of respect for the military's opinion, which is also to better strive for the interests of the Soviet Union on a global scale." Unlike usual, Brezhnev did not ask other Opinions of the members of the Central Presidium.
Shelov clearly saw that Sherepin looked serious, but he did not object. It seemed that the confrontation of this matter had already come to an end long before he came back, and Sherepin was obviously the loser. Nor did Kosygin object.
"Brezhnev plays politics, and he is still the strongest in the Soviet Union." Serov sighed, not voting is a result. Once he is also the chairman of the Soviet Defense Committee, Brezhnev's position is higher than the other two. Half a notch higher. It can be said that the authority is completely established. According to a familiar sentence, under the leadership of Brezhnev at the core...
"One more thing, regarding this military operation against Turkey, I have to say that Yura's prior judgment and grasp of opportunities are worthy of the eyes of the alliance, and he has accurately found the entry point of the matter. Therefore, according to the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the approval of all the members of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union." Brezhnev stood up slowly and announced in a solemn voice, "Granted Comrade Yuri Yefimovich Serov as the Soviet Marshal. Germany Comrade Mitry Fedorovich Ustinov is the Marshal of the Soviet Union!"
"Comrade Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev is the Marshal of the Soviet Union!" Defense Minister Marshal Grechko read out the last name on behalf of Brezhnev himself.
In another hall, the award ceremony has been prepared. Brezhnev, Serov and Ustinov stood together and completed the training as recorded by the camera. Subsequently, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Shelepin, awarded the Gold Star Medal to Brezhnev, Serov and Ustinov respectively.
"Yura, how are you feeling?" Brezhnev asked, looking at Serov beside him.
"It's a little different from what I feel!" Serov recalled how he felt when he just took the Marshal Star. He didn't expect that because of the Turkish adventure, Brezhnev and Ustinov's marshal rank came a year earlier than in history. years.
"Maybe I'm too happy, I'm not used to it." Brezhnev smiled mildly. He communicated with the Ministry of Defense to establish a National Defense Committee. Although it was not a temporary initiative, he really wanted to firmly control the military power.
Arranging Serov to go to Armenia to be the commander of the southern theater actually meant that Serov would take the thunder. Once the Soviet Union failed, and the NATO countries responded quickly, Serov would really be dismissed as a scapegoat for the failure of the attack on Turkey. This does not involve personal grievances, which is normal in terms of politics.
But even if Serov is not a soldier, he will not be able to command the battle. In the case of constantly correcting the plan for more than ten years, everything should be taken into account. The execution of the destruction strategy identified in the process of attacking Turkey will eventually let the Soviet Union In this adventure, he won a big victory, so another question arose, whether General Serov was going to be promoted to marshal.
Many years ago, Brezhnev promised to do this in a joke, but in fact there was no witness, it was just a private occasion, and Brezhnev could not admit it at all. However, Brezhnev must acknowledge the commander of the southern theater. If the commander of the southern theater commanded the army to complete the Soviet Union's breakthrough in the strait, but could not even be promoted, Brezhnev would be questioned.
In this case, Brezhnev considered that the Soviet Union was in the midst of a global offensive, so he rebuilt the Soviet Union's original Defense Military Committee, and served as chairman himself, while promoting Ustinov's rank, by attacking Turkey opportunities to draw closer ties with the military.
"Next month we will have a military parade in Constantinople, and at the same time I will conduct a review with our two new marshals." Brezhnev announced in a marshal's uniform, "I will officially announce at that time. , Constantinople was annexed to the Soviet Union."
Brezhnev's statement immediately aroused applause from everyone present. Nothing could be compared with this statement. This statement was immediately sent to the southern cluster, and they wanted to clean up the traces of war in Constantinople as soon as possible. (To be continued~^~)
