Chapter 608 keep promises
Before Nixon’s two-pillar strategy took shape, Serov had to use the triangular strategy to trap Saudi Arabia. As for the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran, Serov didn’t care whether he was overthrown as in history. The Cossack White Russian generals in Iran had a great influence on Pahlavi since childhood. It has to be said that Pahlavi was a monarch who had a better impression of ancient Persia. As for the religion of peace, he obviously lacked interest.
Another change brought by the Cossack Legion to Pahlavi made Shelov even more dumbfounded, that is, Sawak in Iran, Sawak means the Iranian National Security Agency, with the help of Savak, the King of Pahlavi was exercise domination. Secret agents ran rampant, arresting political opponents and religious elites, and prisons were overcrowded. All freedoms of speech, assembly and organizing political parties are abolished.
Sometimes Serov sees this king who was educated by the Cossacks. It is not so much that this person is the Shah of Iran, it is more like a group of Belarusian defeated by the Soviet Union who successfully educated such a maverick king in Iran. Of course, this king grew up under this kind of education and must be a staunch anti-Soviet king. But it’s not a big deal, and he can’t do anything to the Soviet Union.
Shelov also knows one thing, that is, there is a territorial dispute between Iran and Iraq. As for how to operate it, we will talk about it later. The top priority now is to make Iraq successful first.
“So, the operation in Iraq must be carried out. When are you going to do it?” Andropov finally asked. In principle, he had agreed with Serov’s plan. As for the contact with the Iraqi Communist Party, the two still Some talk.
The apparent strength of the Iraqi Communist Party has diminished in this brutal environment because of the ongoing unrest in Iraq. But in fact, the strength has increased a lot. Coupled with the underground partyization of the Iraqi Communist Party, many forces are in unknown places. Of course, I hope that the Iraqi Communist Party will not only be on the body of the Iraqi Communist Party. Let the Iraqi Communist Party face all the forces, or Seems a little lonely.
“Soon, before the next president of the United States comes up!” The answer is to start at any time, as long as Zinev and Zweigon are ready in the other two directions, then simultaneously.
Nixon’s two-pillar strategy, in the Persian Gulf, this responsibility is mainly shared between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Specifically, the United States will provide its partners in the region, mainly Iran and Saudi Arabia, with an unprecedented amount of weapons, and hope that they will provide regional security. Iran will be the mainstay of the military and act as a police force. Saudi Arabia has mainly become the economic pillar, acting as a stabilizer by using its huge economic inducement power.
It can be seen that the United States was not willing to rely on Saudi Arabia at the beginning, but after the overthrow of the Pahlavi Dynasty in Iran, it had to choose Saudi Arabia, resulting in the result that Saudi Arabia became bigger in later generations. Before the 1980s, there was nothing special about Saudi Arabia other than two stinky money, and it was not trustworthy in the eyes of Americans.
“In this way, we are about to see the strength of the United States. In fact, I have been waiting for this day for more than 20 years!” Andropov sighed sincerely, not only himself, I don’t know there is How many Soviet cadres are waiting for this day.
“No matter how many people die and how much energy is spent, the breakthrough in the middle of Iraq must be completed.” Serov seemed to be talking to Andropov, but on the one hand, he was also encouraging himself.
But at present, Serov has to fulfill a promise first, which he promised many years ago, and it can be fulfilled while his foreign guests have not come.
As one of several important prisons for serious criminals in the Soviet Union, Kazan Prison is very well equipped, and there are also internal affairs troops stationed nearby. It can be said that even if a division comes to armed attack, Kazan Prison can last for a period of time. Compared with before, this important prison in the Soviet Union is a bit empty. After all, many prisoners have been sent to Cuba.
This is not the first time Serov has come here, but it is indeed the first time to release people. The person released is Stalin’s second son, Vasilis Dalin, who has been imprisoned here for more than ten years. He should have long ago out. But considering that the death of this person is unclear in history, after consulting with the Soviet Prosecutor General Ludenko, Vasily Dalin has been under supervision here. Of course, he is still free, and his family can come here at any time, except that they cannot Outside of going out, all of Vasily’s needs here are taken care of.
“Comrade Vasily, long time no see!” When the guards brought Vasily Dalin over, Serov saw Stalin’s son again after a few years. At the same time as seeing Vasily, he suddenly remembered that Stalin’s daughter had ordered the assassination himself, so a strange emotion surged in his heart.
Vasily was wearing an old-fashioned gray military uniform with no rank on it. Although he was a little old-fashioned, he seemed to be in good spirits, and he could still vaguely see the air force hero who flew in the blue sky.
“Oh, it’s you, General Serov, congratulations on becoming a member of the Central Presidium. In my impression, only when I was a child, I could see such a young national leader as you.” Vasilis Dalin’s eyes raised a look called hope, but He still held back and didn’t ask when he would let him go out, the long imprisonment had worn out all his arrogance.
“Why don’t you ask me if I will let you out?” Serov stood up and looked directly at Vasiris Dalin.
“Maybe I’m a little timid now. Politics is really unpredictable. I have recalled a lot of things in the past few years. In fact, if I think about it carefully, there are many things that cannot be judged on the surface.” Vasilis Dalin refers to What happened to him during Stalin’s time, in fact, at that time Khrushchev could not be regarded as the real leader of the Soviet Union. There were also people like Beria, Malenkov, and Molotov. If there are other people who object, Khru Xiaov can’t do anything to Vasilis Dalin, at least he can’t send him to prison so soon.
Selov also felt that Khrushchev should not have decided the matter himself. It may also be that some people felt that Stalin’s son was very dangerous. At least Malenkov and Beria did not object at that time. It can be seen that this matter is also a mystery.
“Now the environment has changed, the first secretary has retired, and I don’t know what happened at the time, because at that time I was just an interior minister in Azerbaijan, and I didn’t have such a high status to see. But there is one thing I don’t What needs to be seen is that you are an air combat hero, you shot down German planes, you fought in the front line, you did not surrender, in that era, as the son of the general secretary, you personally went to the front line and fought in the Great Patriotic War. There is no son of the general secretary, only the air combat hero Vasiris Dalin.” Serov said seriously, “Mikoyan’s son died in the front line, and Marshal Timoshenge’s son died in the front line, since you have returned to the motherland safely. should not die in prison.”
Vasiris Dalin stood there in a daze, holding back some tears, and said briefly, “Thank you…”
“You’re welcome, but I hope you can forget about prison life, after all, many things can have a negative impact on the country, well, just treat it like I’m begging you…” Shelov didn’t want to be too **** Stalin’s son, of course if he wanted to be like himself his sister to study, even if he was Stalin’s son.
Then Serov read out the order for the release of Vasily Dalin. In fact, Serov could sign this order, but in order to be more authoritative, he still asked Brezhnev, Suslov, and Serepin to sign his name. . Legally speaking, Vasilis Dalin has already passed the term of detention, and the extra few years have been completely locked up by Serov. Strictly speaking, the sentence of these years has been regarded as extended detention.
When he came, he came alone. When he returned to Moscow, Serov came back with Vassilius Dalin, “If you want to do something, you can ask it directly, but I suggest you stop drinking. I hope you listen. My, by the way, there is one more thing, that is, given your identity, there must be security personnel by your side, I hope you don’t mind, this is also our job, and in principle it is like this.”
Even if Vasilis Dalin came out, there must be someone from the KGB to monitor his every move. From this point of view, his treatment is no different from Khrushchev, but the security cadres around Khrushchev are more obedient. Essentially the same, no difference.
“Moscow has changed so much!” Vasily’s impression of Moscow was ten years ago. It is now 1968, and the whole Moscow has changed too much. He was so old that he, who had grown up here before, was no longer recognizable.
Settling Vasily in well, Serov can be considered to have fulfilled his promise a few years ago, and let Stalin’s son come out of Kazan prison safely. In a sense, he is also a man of his word, but It is impossible for ordinary people to receive such treatment here.
“I can conclude that there will be no trouble after Vasily comes out, and I have made it clear, I hope he will let go of this matter, and his future life will not be restricted. At present, the effect is not bad. Some other things For example, monitoring the situation, I have already arranged it.” Even Khrushchev has retired, and now whoever thinks that Vasilis Dalin can cause trouble to the current leaders, it is estimated that even Brezhnev himself does not believe it. Even Suslov is still working on restoring Stalin’s image.
reported the incident to the Kremlin, Serov returned to Lubyanka, and the next day went to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, where he was to wait for his guests. (To be continued~^~)
