Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 912: socialist family
As long as Yugoslavia is dealt with, the hidden dangers of Eastern Europe have been basically healed. For the Soviet Union, the significance is no less than that of the United States to reverse the trade deficit. It just doesn't seem to work so quickly, but that's just what it looks like...
The 300,000 Yugoslav People's Army is not an enemy, but for the Soviet Union, it is an immediate effect. With this, let alone this kind of welcome ceremony, Rankovic can want more. At the Kremlin banquet in the evening, all the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union who were still able to drink were present to express their welcome to the Yugoslav comrades.
"It's been thirteen years since our first contact, and time has passed really fast." Rankovic raised his glass. Originally, Rankovic was the number three figure of the Yugoslav Communist Party, but he was different from the general senior cadres in Yugoslavia. . Rankovic had a clear tendency to establish a central government, which was the reason why Tito finally dealt with him.
"Yeah, we started contact in 1971!" Serov thought he had a pretty good memory. At that time, Rankovic had already been beaten to the end, and the totalitarian faction of the Serbian Communist Party was hit by Tito.
Rankovic, who fell to the extreme, entered the KGB's sight. Of course, at the beginning, Serov did not dare to contact Rankovic too much, because Tito was just beginning to feel uneasy about Rankovic, so at that time Just sent a spy around Rankovic to observe the man's state of mind.
It was not until a few years after lurking around Rankovich that the spies sent by the KGB determined the security and contacted the Soviet KGB and Rankovich. Rankovich led the security system for many years, and it was impossible for all his subordinates to be purged. Moreover, the Serbian Communist Party generally sympathized with Rankovic and opened up, and the Soviet Union's work in Yugoslavia was much smoother.
Serov was very careful at first, but Tito was getting older and older, especially when he began to visit Moscow, and he met with Brezhnev and began to improve the relationship between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. At that time, Serov was sure that this Yugoslav leader who dared to fight against Stalin was the leader of Yugoslavia. People are really old.
"Tito, it's more idealistic. He has given Yugoslavia too big goals. With Yugoslavia's national strength, this goal is really difficult to achieve." Serov smiled and said to Rankovic, "Being a man. Be realistic."
The first-generation leaders of Yugoslavia, including Tito, are not nationalists. Even if Tito is a Croat, his policies are not biased towards Croatia. During Tito's tenure, he attacked numerous nationalists, both Serbs and Croatians, and the title of fair coexistence and national integration is too big. It seems that Tito still chose the former. In fact, no matter which one he chooses, Tito should not offend the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is also a unified multi-ethnic country. Once an accident occurs in Yugoslavia, only the Soviet Union will come to the rescue because of socialism and the actual situation of the country.
Tito still believes too much in the ability of a small country to resist risks in the modern world. Medieval Serbia can fight fiercely with the Ottoman Empire for decades. In modern society, as long as the Soviet Union and the United States are shameless, it is clearly defined that only destroying and not occupying is to fight whoever wants to fight. Who, other countries don't want to touch the two countries.
The first generation of Yugoslav leaders, only Rankovic is inclined to centralization and opposes loose national autonomy. At the same time, Rankovic has a clear Serbian position, which is also the reason why he was replaced by Tito.
The deep-seated reason is that Tito tried to establish the concept of the Yugoslav nation. Naturally, nationalists like Rankovic could not be tolerated. The same concept is called the Chinese nation in East Asia...
Yugoslavia's ability to resist risks is not as good as that of the Soviet Union. After all, the Soviet Union still has a Russian who occupies a little more than half of the population. In addition, Ukraine can control the situation. Therefore, on the issue of national division, only the Soviet Union can protect Yugoslavia. Tito's anti-Soviet The position is really not a good thing.
"Well, Yugoslavia's powers are already too scattered, and they must be concentrated a little bit, and the Soviet Union's help is indispensable for this." Rankovic nodded, not concealing his desire to change Yugoslavia's foreign policy attitude.
Shelov shook the glass and drank it, holding up the empty glass, wishing all the cadres who participated in this banquet. Thirteen years of hard work will finally come to an end. He once again completed a long-term plan, which is something to celebrate.
"I wish you success!" Shelov said with full of wishes again, the chief spy is now definitely congratulating sincerely.
Because Rankovich had only KGB spies beside him when he was in trouble, Serov knew very well the thoughts of this Tito comrade-in-arms, and at the same time told Rankovich about the Soviet Union's claims through the spy.
The family accompanies you for ten years when you are in distress. Of course, it is a matter of course to gain trust. With his family as Rankovic's neighbors until after Tito's death, Rankovic, who came out of the mountain again, has a different ideology than before.
Tito's national equality, equality of rights, and the promotion of Yugoslavia's policy of unity were changed by Rankovic in three years. The Serbian Communist Party won the support of the communist parties of the three autonomous republics of Montenegro, Macedonia and Slovenia, and has already controlled the political situation in Yugoslavia. Of course, Ranko Vic did not publicly Serbiaize.
Many ethnic minorities don't exist if you don't see them. After Rankovic takes control of Yugoslavia, he can only continue the integration of Yugoslavia. If there is one more thing, it is Serbia and Croatia. cornerstone. Rankovic can only do this, even if he doesn't want to.
The proximity of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia immediately aroused the vigilance of Europe and the United States. Rankovic has never found Yugoslavia so popular. The World Bank is ready to approve loans to Yugoslavia. Reagan said that Yugoslavia has an outstanding influence in the world political landscape. Thatcher Mrs. Irving believes that Yugoslavia has achieved fruitful development over the years and is more economically dynamic than the average Eastern European country...
Yugoslavia is already the only country in Eastern Europe that can cause a little trouble to the Soviet Union. If the relationship between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia is completely improved, the environment for NATO will be even worse. These words can no longer deceive Rankovic, who has been in communication with KGB spies for more than ten years. In the 1970s, the world oil price rose sharply, and Yugoslavia was also greatly affected. At that time, there were not so many European and American friends to lend a helping hand.
Now that the Soviet Union is so powerful, Rankovic is not going to lead Yugoslavia to play dangerous games again. The only benefit of Tito playing him to the bottom is to make Rankovic more practical. Consider things from the national strength of Yugoslavia itself.
Rankovic, who has led the Yugoslav Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Security Agency for a long time, is very interested in the social surveillance system of the Soviet Union. The communication on this matter does not require fake hands, and the general secretary is the most professional. The two spy chiefs have their own ways of communicating in this matter, and the laughter they make from time to time makes other cadres somewhat incomprehensible...
Generals Chebrikov and General Zweigon looked indifferent, of course they could understand the communication between the agents.
"The Internet is a good thing, and it's time for an anti-sabotage and anti-privilege campaign!" Rankovich soon discovered a strong police force from the current Soviet policy. Of course, Serov was Professional, Ta Rankovic is not an amateur, and he also led the security work in Yugoslavia for many years.
The next day, the two entered the Comintern building, which was about to be put into use. Rankovic maintained an optimistic attitude towards the socialist line of Yugoslavia and relations with the Soviet Union. This statement was featured on the evening news broadcast of the Soviet Union at night.
This is not good news for some countries. Kind reminders to Yugoslavia flooded European and American newspapers again, and many enthusiasts in France, Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany reminded Yugoslavia of how dignified an independent country is and how important Yugoslavia's international influence is.
"We have not thought that Yugoslavia is the same as other Eastern European countries for a long time. Yugoslavia is a very important country in the world. It belongs to the international community. If there are some problems, the international community will help." World Bank President Alden ? Winship? Clausen came forward to ensure that it will help Yugoslavia through the economic crisis.
"Yugoslavia is of course a part of the big socialist family, we just had a bad time with the Soviet Union for a while." Rankovic's public statement almost gave Reagan the heart to learn from Serov.
In this upsurge of public opinion, Serov was constantly shot in fancy ways. Many newspapers reminded Yugoslavia not to forget to mention the Soviet Union's wheel of power and sovereignty, and the theory of international dictatorship. Guarantee claim. Obviously, international public opinion is not so forgetful, warning Yugoslavia with the theory of limited sovereignty to avoid becoming a puppet of the Soviet Union.
However, it was useless. In the following days, Rankovic agreed to several things on behalf of Yugoslavia one after another, signed a memorandum of understanding on the upgrading of the planned economy with Tikhonov, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, and reached an agreement with General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Serov. Unanimously, open the Internet to Yugoslavia, and no longer impose restrictions on Soviet information.
Rankovic believes that Yugoslavia should be a mixed economy, in which the public economy should have a larger proportion. This statement marks Yugoslavia's complete farewell to the Tito era. Yugoslavia will no longer be a source of internal friction within the socialist camp.
"Socialist family?" Serov stood up and Rankovic took the lead in applauding after signing numerous agreements.
