Big Time 1958 Chapter 168

  The maintenance of law and order by the Internal Affairs Police obviously cannot be reduced, and the rest of the Civil Defence Force, Internal Guards and Border Guards are not known which parts of the Civil Defence Force, the Internal Guards and the Border Guards got stabbed. Even if the Internal Affairs Police are not counted, the KGB's military strength is already close to one million! This force is too large under the command of an intelligence department.

"The KGB's disarmament is looking for an opportunity to be carried out together with the Ministry of Defense! It will become part of the future disarmament plan!" Khrushchev thought for a while and asked, "I have no opinion on the establishment of the Internal Guard, but your materials are not clear. Where is the command of the Internal Guard? Alexander, can you explain…”

"No problem, it involves the command of the 300,000 Internal Guards. Our KGB Presidium cannot solve it on its own. It also needs to be assigned by Comrade First Secretary. We, the KGB, will definitely obey the opinions of the Central Committee!" Shelepin in front of Khrushchev , It is completely different from when it is in front of others, restraining his arrogance! Like a loyal and capable cadre.

   "Just follow the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Khrushchev scratched his head. He had no objection to this internal guard force. The Ministry of National Defense left too many old marshals because of the Great Patriotic War. The Red Army should be reduced, but Khrushchev must also have enough strength to check and balance the Red Army, so that the Red Army will accept the disarmament obediently! At present, the KGB is the best carrier of this power.

"I understand, First Secretary! Then, the First Vice-Chairman will also serve as the Commander of the Internal Guard!" Since Khrushchev said that it was customary, then Shelepin, according to the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let the First Vice-Chairman of the KGB concurrently serve as the Internal Guard. Commander of the Guard.

"Okay, that's it! You work hard..." Khrushchev encouraged. The two cadres in front of them, who were both young and terrifyingly senior, believed so much in these young cadres represented by Shelepin because Khrushchev knew that They rely on themselves. Other leaders were critical of the Communist Youth League cadres because they were too young. Young people are reluctant to believe, "What difficulties can you tell me..."

   Immediately saw Serov raise his hand in front of him. He didn't expect to have new requirements so soon. Khrushchev asked curiously, "Yuri, what difficulties do you have in your work!"

"I have no difficulty in my work, but I want to take a few days off and ask for leave for my wife. Next month, I want to use the working time of the Rome Olympics to take him on a tour. She has not taken vacations for three years!" Shelov said. Yawning. He looked like he was already very tired. In order to squeeze out time, he traveled more than half of the Soviet Union in just 20 days. If it weren't for the support of the new electrified railway, the time might have been extended.

   Looking at the fine stubble on the young man's face, he can imagine what kind of life he has been living recently. Khrushchev suddenly felt a sense of physical superiority. Have not found the joy of work in the heavy work. In comparison, Shelepin is much stronger than this Serov, who is a few years younger.

  In Khrushchev's mind, the next generation of Soviet leaders must be young and energetic people, and even if not, a group of young people must enter the leadership to ensure the upgrading of the Soviet cadre system! It was Khrushchev's original intention to promote young cadres to prevent the Soviet cadre class from falling into the politics of old age.

  Although he has always been in the world with extraordinary energy. But he himself is almost seventy years old after all, and others can't feel it. But he can feel that he should use a few years to investigate a few successors! At present, there are more than one candidate in his eyes. Before that, he has to do what he should do, and do the reform of the Soviet Union!

The jurisdiction and responsibilities of the Border Guard and the Internal Guard have also been written into the report by Serov. There are ten border military regions divided, including the Red Flag Pacific, the Red Flag Far East, the Red Flag Lake Baikal, the Red Flag East, and the Central Asia, South Caucasus and other military regions. The area under the jurisdiction of the Internal Guard is based on the large and medium-sized cities of the Soviet Union. The commander of the army, the commander of the inner guard in Baku, Stalingrad, and some other cities, a total of fifteen commanders of the inner guard.

In the end, the jurisdictions of the two are still not separated, because some important Soviet cities themselves are not far from the border, and the jurisdiction of the internal guards and border guards in this report can be seen at a glance, completely in accordance with national defense. It is obvious that Khrushchev once served in the Red Army as well.

   This report is actually very much to Khrushchev's appetite, and it can be said that it is right in his heart. It can be said that the idea of ​​disarmament has been getting bigger and bigger in Khrushchev's heart, but now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just been merged, and next year or the end of the year, I will make a decision with the generals of the Ministry of Defense first.

The specific documents were handed over to Khrushchev, and Shelepin returned to No. 11 on Lubyanka Square. Shelepin and Shelov began to decide the commander of the two armed forces of the KGB, as the General Directorate of Military Administration in itself. Sirov of the Director, this question is not difficult! The entire Soviet Union, including the commanders of the Red Army system, what hobbies, specialties and even weaknesses they have are all in the archives of the General Administration of Military Administration, and a copy is in the archives of the KGB. Now the two of them can single out these commanders as the commanders of the million army in theory.

Serov transferred six colonels and a major general from the Dzerzhinsky division closest to Moscow in one breath. These people are friends of Kudryash, the commander of the Central Asian Frontier Military District. Serov first enriched these commanders to Central Asia and the Caucasus. Region, as the second-level Republic Frontier Guard Commander, while appointing Igor as the commander of the Kyiv Internal Guard!

That afternoon, the officers of the Internal Affairs Forces who were recalled from the army went to No. 11 on Lubyanka Square and stood in front of the KGB Chairman Shelepin. Shelepin read out the new appointments to all these people, and let the officers recommended by Shelov work well. Serov was not in the office, but dictated telegrams to Igor and Kudryash in the communications office.

"Old secretary, I feel that the whole world is changing in our favor!" Serov, who returned to Sherepin's office, groped for a while, and made sure that the cigarette on his body had gone somewhere, so he naturally removed the smoke from Sherepin's desk. Take one out of the cigarette case, joking, how can the chairman of the KGB with the quality of the chimney lack something that can smoke?

   "Why do you say that? Just relying on the Internal Guard? It's not enough, it's not enough!" Shelepin's goal is not to be a KGB chairman, his goal is very lofty, and the leader of the country is the stage he likes.

"But everything is changing in our favor, isn't it? Old secretary, it is clear that the first secretary has extraordinary trust in us. In just five or six years, the entire Soviet Union will be our world! Except The other cadres other than the first secretary are much older than us!" Serov was not worried that his words would be heard, and that no one would be able to wiretap in the office of the chairman of the KGB.

With 300,000 Internal Guards, 300,000 Frontier Guards, and 180,000 Civil Defence Forces in their hands, plus the internal affairs police, the Soviet Red Army would definitely not be able to beat the Soviet Red Army, but it still has the ability to make the opponent throw a rat. What's more, because of the relationship of power and power, the KGB still takes the lead, and the power to balance the Red Army is completely expected. If Shelepin and the others are in the worst possible situation, they must be with Brezhnev and the others. I don't know what Shelepin thinks. Anyway, Serov would rather lead the KGB and Brezhnev to fight, and definitely can't watch him ascend to the throne. .

Shelepin seems to be seriously thinking about his friend's suggestion. Shelov's words are not difficult to understand. As long as Khrushchev retires, everything in the Soviet Union will fall into their hands logically, but the question is who knows that Khrushchev can How old do you live. At present, Khrushchev's body is very healthy...

In any case, Serov has already said what he should say. Shelepin has no idea of ​​rebelling at this time. After realizing the current Soviet power structure, Serov made a clear question, no matter who launched the coup d'etat is Suslov, Brezhnev and others are absolutely inescapable of the KGB's scope of work. In other words, as long as the KGB maintains its loyalty to Khrushchev, anyone who launches a coup will be killed...

   But what if, as in history, Sherepin and Shemichasny were among the people who carried out the coup? Let Brezhnev take the top position logically? Brezhnev has always been in the image of a good man. No one will think that he is a big threat except himself. It is estimated that no one will believe that Brezhnev can kill you all? These leaders, including Shelepin himself, are most not lacking in self-confidence. Shelepin is the one with the most self-confidence. Shelov said that he could not do Brezhnev. Shelepin may think that this is Shelov's treatment of him. insult.

"What about him? The Internal Guards are in the hands of the KGB. As long as they are not suddenly arrested, no one can forcibly demolish the KGB!" The Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Beria era had similar energy, and Serov had reason to believe that as long as the leaders of the KGB were not suddenly killed, no one could do anything to them. After the KGB was finally split in the Beria era, it was merged again. With a super department, no one can take him apart anymore.

   Now we still need to strengthen the power of the KGB, that is, within the scope of the entire world, to ensure that the economic lifeline of the KGB will not be cut off. After the merger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Serov's work has become a lot heavier! With hundreds of thousands more to eat, the KGB's funding problem has become more serious, and the issue of how to make money is more urgent. We must plan well for the upcoming trip to Italy.
