Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 783: Khrushchev passed away
In his later generations, he also got angry because of his house, so he must not let the country he serves also encounter this problem. In fact, as long as he registers a company in Western Europe, and then opens a hole in the rupee sample card, he can transfer money from left to right, and use left and right to fight each other to scrape a layer of land in the Soviet Union. With his current status, even if there is dissatisfaction , the big deal is to push the responsibility out and say that he has been deceived by the evil capitalists, which is no big deal.
But this will definitely push up the price of houses in the Soviet Union, and Serov can't do it, so he would rather his own department bleed and let the factories controlled by the KGB produce raw materials for free, "terminate negotiations with Turkish prisoners of war, and let these prisoners enter the factory set up in Armenia. , produce steel and save labor costs.”
"General Kadpov, this year, all the prisons in the alliance must allocate a certain degree of production of cement, steel and other building materials, and let those criminals use unpaid labor to wash their crimes, according to the manpower to go to the Planning and Economic Commission to determine the labor The plan of transformation." Under the attack of reality and ideals, Serov finally remembered the method used by Beria in the special era, the gulag economic system.
"Chairman, will the United States find out and criticize our human rights issues? You must know that at the Helsinki meeting, we agreed to some terms from the United States." First Vice Chairman Bobkov said with some worry.
"That's just fooling the Americans. You take it seriously." Serov sneered, "Does the United States have the capital to trouble us now? Let's take a good rest. 300,000 Turkish prisoners of war are all assigned to factories for voluntary labor. As for the shortage of guards, ask Greece for help and let them help us guard, they should be very willing."
"Yes, we will finish the plan tomorrow." Everyone looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Serov, who had just returned to Lubyanka, directly restored the gulag economy and used Turkish prisoners of war as manpower to promote housing construction in the Soviet Union.
They were all taken aback when they heard it. The Gulag system has been disintegrated for more than ten years, but they are the boss, and they are not opposed to it. The question now is how to make the most of the manpower of Turkish prisoners of war. .
"Of course there is a small problem. Given that General Secretary Brezhnev is currently in the process of de-escalating with the West, Central Secretary Suslov approved a proposal by the Moscow Film Studio and decided to use the Constantinople's The fall is modeled on the joint production of a film with Italy, Greece and an indeterminate number of Balkan countries. Let’s first investigate on the spot, select the terrain and the soldiers to be mobilized. This is a political task of the propaganda system, and the cost and scene are not Restricted. Which part of the troop can be used, you should investigate first!" Shelov's arrangement for Suslov must be implemented without compromise. Because his thighs are still relatively thick at present, if he can hold his thighs, he will definitely not do it himself.
It's not in a hurry, every few years of hard work can't see the appearance of this movie at all, but if you copy the battle of Constantinople, the scale may exceed another movie in the Soviet Union a few years ago. War and Peace. War and Peace received the full support of the Soviet government. During the filming process, about 125,000 troops and 1,500 war horses were used, and a large number of scenes were arranged. The scale is unprecedented.
This kind of political task, it is said that the preparation for three years is short, not to mention the role of each other with Greece and Italy.
"Comrade Zweigon will follow up on this matter. You are the only one who is most suitable in the KGB. Just adjourn the meeting like this..." Serov directly assigned this task to Zweigon, vice-chairman of the KGB. The other party is a member of the Writers Association and is indeed the most suitable candidate.
Serov, who came back pretending to be sick, soon completed the first meeting, announced the end of the meeting and returned to his office.
"Chairman, the first secretary is seriously ill." Servanov, the director of the general affairs department, came in and whispered, Serov frowned and asked, "Really?"
Khrushchev has outlived history by five years, but it seems that this time it is really less fortunate. After driving to the hospital, I soon saw Khrushchev's son Sergey. After a few words of greetings, Serov asked directly, "Is the situation of the first secretary stable?"
Sergey shook his head a little heavy, looked at Serov and smiled wryly, "Too old, I have all kinds of diseases, I don't have much hope..."
patted the other person's shoulder, Shelov gently pushed open the door and walked in. The description of being too old can be replaced by lingering, although it is a bit rude to describe it. But no matter how prominent, how indomitable a person was, and how many people's fate he controlled, sooner or later, there will be such a day, the day will come when the fuel runs out. …
Khrushchev lying on the hospital bed was no different from ordinary people. He seemed to sense someone. Khrushchev opened his eyes with difficulty and smiled weakly, "Yura, you can still think of visiting me, it's a pity I didn't do you any favors."
"You have helped me a lot. I have today, and I can't do without your attention." Shelov moved a stool over and sat beside Khrushchev's bed. No matter how many ridiculous things this person did, everyone would It cannot be denied that he really wanted the Soviet Union to be stronger, and some of the policies he proposed were very good, and they were also good for himself. Without Khrushchev's emphasis on the Communist Youth League, there would not have been a strong group of young cadres in the Soviet Union, although the Communist Youth League has not been what it used to be.
"Shurik is not Ilyich's opponent in the end. Ilyich is a general secretary with enough patience. He will not take the risk of replacing you all, but this kind of slow persecution, you can't fight back." He said a few words. After the words, Khrushchev seemed to recover a little bit of energy. Maybe it was because he was the first secretary that he was more willing to talk politics with others, which made Khrushchev's mental state improve a little bit, "But you don't seem to be worried. Being able to find supporters and get things turned in the direction you advocate.”
"It's just good luck!" This is the first time Serov has such an equal conversation with Khrushchev. Neither of them has a higher status than the other, and he is not willing to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of a sick person who is about to end. .
"It's not luck, although I don't know what you can do." Khrushchev closed his eyes for a while as if he had come to rest, and looked at Serov and asked a question, "Do you think that after I die, what will happen to me? What's your evaluation?"
"Let's say five to five, it depends on how people look at the problem." Serov said slowly, "Just like the current relationship between China and the Soviet Union, both sides have great responsibility."
"Five to five? It seems that I still haven't erased Stalin from your hearts. Ilyich is a moderate Stalin. We can't always rely on one person to solve problems. Stalin's leadership is very difficult to appear. Once one person controls The supreme right of our country, if it really is Stalin, the problem may not be big, but if a waste becomes the general secretary, it will be a real disaster. Of course, I also repeated the path of Stalin In the end, he still did not escape his shadow." Khrushchev's expression at this time was very comfortable, as if he was saying to himself, "I am wrong myself, how can I educate others."
"However, given your age, as long as you sit firmly in your current position, you may be able to get rid of the Soviet Union's tradition of strong leadership and absolute everything. I just don't know if you can do it. Your own work style is too strong." Khrushchev After saying this, I lost my strength, and when Serov was about to leave, he suddenly smiled and said, "Yura, next time you come to see me, remember to bring an ear of corn."
"Okay!" Serov with a hat laughed and left the hospital. Khrushchev died a few days later.
"He damaged the reputation of General Secretary Stalin and caused a lot of problems in Eastern Europe, but we must also say that Comrade Khrushchev is only lacking in ability, and he has voluntarily retired. Now the country is on the right track, we I also want to make a statement, Yura, go to Khrushchev's funeral instead of me." Since Brezhnev came to power, he was revising Khrushchev's policy little by little, and the two The difference is very big. Brezhnev has restored many Stalin policies, and it is completely untenable to say that Khrushchev and Brezhnev are Soviet revisionists.
"Okay, but I think it's better to let Pravda officially announce it." Shelov nodded. "After all, he is our former first secretary. If he keeps silent, it's not enough. I will care about the order."
According to the tradition of the Soviet Union, when the general secretary died of illness, other members of the Central Presidium had to carry the coffin, which could only be done by the KGB.
Before the burial at the New Virgen Cemetery, Serov fulfilled his promise, took out an ear of corn from the pocket of the military coat, put it in Khrushchev's coffin, and then waved someone to be buried. Serov recalled the scene when he woke up twenty-four years ago, the year Khrushchev began to establish himself. Khrushchev had a strong enterprising spirit, always maintained a strong fighting spirit, and was politically sensitive and fearless, which made the Soviet party and country go through an important turning point during his time in power. The gesture of a brave statesman became a prominent world figure.
The KGB security personnel pulled out a blockade, and Serov was the only one left in front of the tomb. "Although you have messed up a lot of things, you can make up for it. I didn't expect to die this year. Think about it, this year. There are indeed many big people who have died, I hope you will stop arguing when you get there."
"The New Virgin Cemetery is open for a week, be careful not to cause confusion!" Serov instructed before leaving, glanced back at the New Virgin Cemetery and boarded the car. (To be continued~^~)
