Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 886: enemy
"Difficulties and challenges certainly exist, but I believe that the Soviets, made of steel and fire, are not afraid of challenges. This is not voluntarism. General Secretary Stalin once said that people with ideals are always hot in their hearts. Shelov was silent for a moment, and spoke in a steady voice, "For some hostile acts of imperialism, no matter what the manifestation of this behavior, we have only one choice, to fight against..."
"Fight, fight, fight." The central committee members of a series of security systems from Chebrikov, Tsvigon, Bobkov, and Fedorchuk stood up one after another, expressing their condolences to the top Soviet leader standing on the rostrum. support.
"Fighting is natural, the Soviets are not afraid of any challenge. We have millions of determined soldiers, we have 40,000 nuclear bombs, we have the support of dozens of countries, we have the support of all the poor at the bottom of the world. , with this kind of support, there is nothing to be afraid of. If there are any shortcomings..." Serov thought for a while and said, "It may be our cadre class, and it seems that many of them have forgotten what qualities a Soviet cadre should have. "
The entire Kremlin auditorium fell silent, a warning that could not have been more obvious. Many cadres will not forget that the general secretary who just took office is best at eliminating counter-revolutionaries.
"Of course I will do my best to ensure the overall progress of the country, but if you fall behind, I will not wait for you." After knocking and beating to warn these Central Committee members, Serov cleared his throat and stopped frightening them for the time being. old man. Well, old man, Andropov has replaced a lot of Central Committee members, so that the group of Central Committee members that is approaching the age-death line finally doesn't look like it's dying.
But this is only a temporary rescue. The state party secretaries and leaders of the republics are still the majority of the elderly. Historically, Ge map played the role of a cadre crusher, but this kind of violence and demolition behavior. A group of traitors are directly replaced. If you have to choose one of the traitor group and the elderly group, Serovnin can choose the elderly, and people can slowly find out.
After giving his former general secretary, including Brezhnev, a consistent praise, he said that the environment of each era is different, so of course the policy cannot be completely consistent. I just wiped the **** of all my predecessors. The central idea is that all general secretaries are not wrong, but of course the cadres who are executed below are wrong.
"General Secretary Brezhnev put forward the concept of developed socialism, and General Secretary Andropov believes that the country is in the initial stage of a developed socialist country, which is not contradictory. Because the environment of the two time periods is completely different At the same time, we also underestimate the progress of science and technology. There were no problems in these two points at that time. However, in this era of great development of science and technology, it is a bit blindly optimistic to measure the development of a country by static standards. Therefore, according to After consulting with the comrades in the Presidium and the Secretariat, I believe that the current Soviet Union is in the primary stage of socialism."
"In the current world, only the Soviet Union and a few Eastern European socialist countries are at this stage. The socialist countries at this stage have not fully demonstrated the superiority of socialism. From the perspective of the external environment, the current socialist countries It is in a stalemate with the bourgeois state. It has not completed the transcendence of the capitalist state. Of course, this trend is obvious. We have to believe that that day is not far away..." Serov, who was holding the speech, frowned slightly. Who wrote the manuscript, why is it not far away, not far away?
Ignore this small dissatisfaction and go back to spank the little girl. He then elaborated on the domestic standards in the primary stage of socialism. He could not directly copy China's, but could only slightly change it based on the actual situation in the Soviet Union.
If there is no accident, this definition of the primary stage of socialism will gradually replace the definition of advanced socialism proposed by Brezhnev as Serov has been in power for longer and longer.
It must be said that the definition of socialism in the Soviet Union has always been that the goal is higher than the actual standard of living. Serov could understand that this was a noble goal for the Soviet populace. But the reverse is also possible. Setting the target below the actual living standard of the Soviet Union will not only be down-to-earth, but also disgusting the United States.
Although at the intermediate stage of socialism, Serov doesn't know about this stuff, nor does he think about it. It can be left to the imagination of the Soviet people. But at this stage, the Soviet Union is a superpower that is completely on par with the United States. Defining the Soviet Union as the primary stage of socialism is enough to give European and American countries that claim to be developed countries eye medicine.
"I'm going to use a country in the primary stage of socialism to see how capable the United States really is." Serov, who was standing in front of the rostrum, raised his head slightly and greeted everyone's thunderous applause.
"This is my Soviet Union, and I must make him develop better and better." Serov is of course not a great man, a revolutionary mentor, and a great leader, but he still understands a person's basic needs very well. lived at the bottom of society.
This is not a formal Central Plenary Session. In fact, this is just the death of Andropov. The Soviet Union needs a new general secretary, so it decided to hold an ad hoc meeting. After all, a new general secretary always has to meet with cadres. .
At the end of the meeting, as usual, the familiar melody of the Internationale sounded, and all the members participating in the meeting stood up and sang the Internationale in the familiar melody.
After the conference, when he bid farewell to the Central Committee members and left the Kremlin, Serov moved in his heart and silently tilted his head. Not far away, several American reporters were driving cameras to shoot at him.
"Look, this is the new general secretary of the Soviet Union." An excited young woman in her thirties holding a microphone asked the cameraman to focus on the figure in a gray military coat and a blue big-brimmed hat.
"What a hostile face!" In the camera, Serov, who tilted his head, restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the camera very oppressively. The general secretary who often holds meetings has a good sense of camera.
In the cameraman's mirror lake, a female reporter with a microphone walked over. Even Serov was a little surprised and reached out to stop the security personnel who were about to draw a gun. Surrounded by a group of security personnel, the female reporter with curly hair walked up to the new general secretary of the Soviet Union and stammered, "Mr. General Secretary, can you accept my interview."
Shelov looked at this woman several times, wearing a white coat, with her head crossed, a tall figure, a beautiful face, ahem...
The general secretary, who is male and female, took out a pocket watch from his pocket. There was a thermometer on it, and it was minus 19 degrees. This American reporter is still quite professional. The conference has been open for four hours.
"No problem, it depends on your professional ethics." Contrary to everyone's expectations, the general secretary who suffered a stroke and coughed up blood in the Brezhnev era accepted the invitation in high spirits. The location is in the Kremlin. This is the first time that the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has given a public interview. Andropov thought about it, but it did not take shape publicly.
The location of was set in the Andreyev Hall, where the tsar received foreign envoys. Sheloff just said casually, with his culture, how can he know so many allusions, even this reporter named Jenny knows more about it than this. The general secretary who is a novice on the road only knows that this is the place to meet foreign guests. How can this little reporter be considered a foreign guest?
"General Secretary Serov, you have become the top leader of this country. People know that you have been the chairman of the KGB for a long time, so people are very interested in your experience. Can you talk about this?" Jenny leaned forward , from this angle, a very obvious ravine can be seen.
Can you respect your profession? Serov pretended not to see it while groping from his body. However, if the experience of interviewing the general secretary can be paid for, I believe that there must be many beautiful reporters around the world who are willing to do it.
After fumbling for a long time, I finally put on the black frame without lenses. This is the official start of Serov. He replied in English, "There is nothing to say about this, as if your country does not have such a department, the Central Intelligence Agency has done it. I have done all the things that I have done, you can ask your colleagues in the United States after returning to China, it is far less mysterious than people think.”
"Then, General Secretary. You seem to be very hostile to the United States. Why does the Soviet Union have to rule the world?" Jenny asked the question in a very soft voice, as if putting the United States in the position of the victim.
"I didn't say that the United States was an evil empire, I didn't say that we would use nuclear weapons to blow up the United States. This is what Reagan said. Today you come and ask me why the Soviet Union must rule the world? This is a very interesting question. The Cold War was the Soviet Union's Initiated? NATO was established by the Soviet Union? If you don’t know the cause and effect, your comforting interview is meaningless.” Shelov touched his black-rimmed glasses and slowly replied, “It’s pointless for me to say these words to you, Americans don't realize they're wrong just because I said these words, so what? Today I'll give a response to President Reagan's evil imperial remarks."
"The United States is an unprecedented imperialist country in human history. Today, the United States has gathered all the characteristics of imperialism. The relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union is black and white, but the United States is the black side. Reagan, listen..." Serov He said to the camera, "Whether it's a military confrontation, an economic confrontation, or a high-tech confrontation, you can't win. The relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union is that the enemy..."
