Big Time 1958 Chapter 215

   "As for the security and defense plan during the conference, this is the plan of the KGB." Serov told Khrushchev of the decision of the KGB Central Presidium as written, and then waited for orders. Normally, Khrushchev would have put forward some opinions of his own in this case, not because of how clever these opinions were, but to show that Khrushchev was very concerned about the work of the KGB.

   But today is an exception. Obviously, Khrushchev has no leisure time. This congress of the Communist and Workers' Parties of the 81 countries is an opportunity and a challenge. The challenge comes from the same socialist country, the country to the east of the Soviet Union. In the past year, Khrushchev has increasingly felt that the eastern powers and the Soviet Union are in a dangerous stage. This is not the first time he has seen this stage. That is the stage before the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia did not split. Although the reasons are slightly different, But there is no difference in trends.

"Yuri, sit down! You are the most successful cadre of the KGB in ten years. People say you are a comrade who can see the international context. How do you think our relationship with China will develop? Actually, what I don't understand is, do I Isn't it friendly enough to the Chinese?” Khrushchev asked with some distress. On many private occasions, Khrushchev had talked with many comrades about the East, but he had never had a clear answer.

The problem is that you are too good for China, a mature politician would not do that, and you have to do it again from India, since the first secretary has shown some fragility at this time, Shelov doesn't mind He was a guest in the power center of the Soviet Union, but he would never take the initiative to speak on China's issues. The first secretary would answer if he asked him, and shut up if he didn't.

"We are friendly enough, but our two countries seem to have different attitudes towards the whole world revolution. For now, this is the biggest problem, according to the analysis of the first general bureau's remarks on the eastern countries. It can be summed up in a few points, from Since the 20th National Congress, the analysis of our two countries on the issue of Stalin has become more and more serious. If my estimation is correct, the matter will focus on the issue of attacking the Soviet Union's Laozi Party, and the problem will oblige us to control Eastern Europe.” Serov was thinking He said, "There is also the issue of moderation and revisionism in attacking the Soviet Union and the United States. Because of the U2 reconnaissance plane incident, this matter will become our sore feet..."

   Shelov was not visibly biased to any one angle. In particular, the issue of revisionism at the back, in his opinion, is a nonsense issue. Is it true that the later generations of the Chinese revisionists are just talking about it? Now that the Soviet Union has eased and there are still some reforms, the later generations of China have done it. no one is far.

   Normally Khrushchev would not hear anything worthwhile, usually he was talking. Other leaders of the Soviet Union are implementing it. This situation has become more and more serious since this year, and valuable discussions have become less and less. Occasionally I hear Serov, who is not even a member of the Central Committee, analyze the problem seriously, and Khrushchev has listened to it. An interest in listening.

   "They can't understand why I want to relax, the Chinese are very aggressive!" Khrushchev muttered in dissatisfaction.

"First Secretary, there is an obvious answer to this question. China has been established for eleven years now. Think about what we were doing when we were established eleven years ago? We were supporting the revolutionary forces in southern China on the Northern Expedition, weren't we? At that time our The idea is to let the proletarians all over the world have their own government. Overthrow the decadent and backward authoritarian government." Serov said seriously, "We also participated in supporting the Spanish Civil War, which is also our effort to help the proletarian brothers? These things It has all happened really, so it is easy to understand, the current Soviet Union is a mature country, China is a revolutionary country, our party is a ruling party, and Chinese comrades are a revolutionary party. The mentality is simple and easy to understand. They believe that they can change the world, just like when the Soviet Union was first established. They think that as a working-class country, as long as we go around Europe, the oppressed workers in Europe will be like We welcome us as if we welcome liberation, but in fact we were hindered in Warsaw, a situation that the Chinese comrades have not encountered yet…”

"Comrade First Secretary, most of our export revolutions have failed, but the greatest success is the success in the East, which is our greatest achievement." Serov quickly finished his analysis, then sat aside and waited. Khrushchev's own considerations.

"Yes, this is the first time I've heard such an analysis. So China is also in the state we were in before the Great Patriotic War?" Khrushchev first heard this kind of analysis about the ruling party and the revolutionary party, mainly himself The intelligence chief of the two countries compared the history of the two countries, which made it easy for Khrushchev to understand the problem. A comparison of the two examples made Serov's analysis point clear, "But the Chinese have been caught in a very risky situation. state, the most intolerable is the attack on us…”

The Soviet Union, at least on the surface, no longer calls for exporting revolutions. At present, China's investment in exporting revolutions is similar to that of the Soviet Union. But if you compare China's economy with that of the Soviet Union, you can see that China's investment in this area is How huge. Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaya in Central and South Asia would not have persisted for so long without the support of China. Now the socialist movement is booming and has a lot to do with China. On the contrary, the Soviet Union has Not so enthusiastic.

"On the issue of exporting the revolution, as the first deputy chairman of the intelligence and security department, I must admit from a personal point of view that I greatly appreciate the actions of the Chinese comrades, especially the success of Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia. But in the second On the issue, the debate between us and China is very unwise, because the situation of each country is very different, the main force of the revolution in our country is workers, and there are not many workers in Asia, but there are peasants everywhere.” Serov replied again, “ So every time we have a debate with the Chinese, each of us will gain a group of supporters, which is actually not good for us. If this matter is handed over to me..."

   "What will you do?" Khrushchev was not begging Serov, but was looking for a way to repel the attack. As an intelligence chief who has cleaned up many threats from the Soviet Union, some of Serov's ideas are of great reference significance.

Serov also did not pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of the first secretary. According to Khrushchev's order, Serov put forward a proposal to defuse the offensive, "From the results of these debates, the Chinese comrades say that we are conservative, and we are conservative. Thinking that China is radical, next week's National Security and Public Order Conference, the Warsaw Pact allies will participate, and I will hold a meeting with the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Warsaw Pact countries. News and arguments are reported with a discriminating attitude. With the cooperation of the Warsaw Pact countries, it is not difficult to achieve this. The situation of the Warsaw Pact countries is similar to our Soviet Union. It's not hard to control!"

   "Very good, I believe the KGB has this ability." Khrushchev nodded with satisfaction and continued to wait for the other issues to be resolved.

"On the other issue of our party's excessive authority, we can seize the weakness of the excessive idealism of the comrades in the east, and portray the comrades in the east as a country that has just succeeded in the revolution and has not yet formed the impression of a mature country. Any attack on the Chinese side, We all have to raise our stance and shape the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to tolerate an immature revolutionary party." Serov paused when he said here, "Actually, my solution is very simple. Comrades counterattack, we will also win. Because the current situation is very simple, the comparison between the two sides, the Soviet Union is strong, what we say is reasonable, and conversely, because their national strength is not strong, what we say is reasonable but not supported. live their arguments..."

"I didn't expect that you still look at this issue so thoroughly, but then again, when I visited the United States last time, before I went to China, you made some predictions about some problems, and the predictions proved to be correct." Khrushchev Recalling the last trip to the United States, Serov said before he went to China to deal with some problems, and then asked, "Then how long do you think China's idealism is too heavy?"

"It will not change for at least ten years. During this period, exporting the revolution and liberating the world will be the mainstream idea of ​​comrades in the East!" Serov said for a long time and then turned to his own work, talking about the work of the KGB, "This It is not a threat to us. Sometimes the things we cannot do, the Chinese comrades do well. Anyway, a new socialist country will still come to us on its own initiative, because our national strength is strong, and the technology and resources provided are better than China's. many."

Of course, Khrushchev will not change his mind because of Serov's words, but this is the most sincere analysis he has heard recently, and he has taken measures to deal with the criticisms of the Laozi Party and revisionism. Now Khrush Xiaofu just took Serov's views and countermeasures as a reference. After all, he has not met Comrade Dongfang. After half a month, Khrushchev really heard these criticisms, and if it was consistent with Serov's analysis, he could respond quickly.

"Yuri, your analysis is of great reference value. By the way, I have something for you to do." Khrushchev whispered to Serov, and Serov accepted the order stiffly. He now needs to find a time. After removing Stalin's body and leaving the Kremlin far away, Serov sighed and said, "It's better for me to do it than to be done, at least I still respect him..." (To be continued~^~)
