Chapter 628 stay in America
“How many years have you been doing this?” Brezhnev asked after thinking about it. “This is a long-term project. Changes will occur imperceptibly, but if successful, it is indeed a big threat.”
Why did Brezhnev say that? It’s not how much he believes in the judgment of the KGB. He is a very practical person. To draw a blueprint is to listen. The reason why he believes in Serov’s statement is that this is what the Soviet Union is facing. Minorities in the Soviet Union, especially those in Central Asia and the Caucasus, have always had a high birth rate, and the population there accounted for only a very small part of the Russian Empire during the imperial Russian period, if not the Soviet population in Europe was affected during the Patriotic War. Seriously, this situation may not be so imminent, but now when he thinks about the problem of population ratio, Brezhnev’s head is muddled.
The trick of mixed with sand has been used in Central Asia, mainly to stabilize Kazakhs. Re-division of ethnic groups has also been used, the Tajik was split from the Uzbek Republic, and the merged administrative region was also used in Ukraine. But the fertility rate of Soviet Europe itself is not comparable to that of Central Asia and the Caucasus. The Soviet Union talked more about national integration than China in later generations. Brezhnev felt that he should talk to the general political commissar about population issues. Maybe Serov has a solution.
“It should have been a few years, and it started during the Algerian War of Independence,” Serov replied.
Brezhnev nodded clearly, then this year can’t be considered short. It seems that the KGB has been very fruitful in terms of policy continuity, of course, if these policies were formulated by Serov, this is the past.
In a short period of time, Brezhnev’s brain was running fast. When faced with this kind of problem, he didn’t need anyone to teach him. How valuable a cadre is and how to use it, he has his own standards.
There are ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union itself. Except for some mistakes in the division of Ukrainian ethnic groups, there is basically no problem. Those ethnic groups have existed for a long time. Whether Moscow admits it or not, they have always lived there. It is impossible for Brezhnev to learn from the previous tsars in this era, and first use the armed pioneering regiment to clear it up. The descendants of the armed pioneering regiment are currently in the United States. The Soviets who claim to be equal cannot do such a thing, so they have to think about other things. way.
After the meeting, Brezhnev specially kept Serov to discuss this issue. Many methods have been used by the Soviet Union, and the effect cannot be said to be ineffective, but it has not met Moscow’s expectations. As the country’s top leader, Brezhnev is ready to talk to the Eye of the Alliance, and I hope Serov can come up with a good one. idea.
“All kinds of data from the Soviet Union are in your head. I don’t believe you haven’t seen the problem of our population imbalance.” Brezhnev lit a cigarette and asked his own question very vaguely. The so-called population imbalance is far less serious than another problem, which is the unbalanced population growth in the Soviet Union and the rapid growth of ethnic minorities.
“According to the experience of our department, that is to link the house to the number of children, the more children, the bigger the house, the better, but this will put a huge pressure on the government. It takes steel, cement, and wood to build a house. The work of many departments is by no means as simple as talking about it. If it is calculated by departments, in addition to the KGB, the Ministry of Defense should be able to do it, and the Ministry of Petroleum Industry of Minister Tikunov can also do it, and other departments can do it. It’s hard to say.” Serov has been thinking about this issue for more than ten years, and the most obvious solution at present is to link the house to the child, but if the Soviet Union does this, the government expenditure will increase sharply. Only by re-establishing the Gulag, with more than one million unpaid labor in hand, can the cost in this area be diluted.
“The previous method was to add sand to the local area, but this is still incomparable to the growth of the local population. This is mainly due to environmental factors, so the effect of blindly migrating people to the frontier will become less and less effective. We must find a way to The local peoples move out, providing more opportunities for them to leave the country and come to Europe. These people who come to Europe lose the environment of their local existence, and once we successfully attract people to Europe, we can To play another advantage, let the Slavs, who occupy nearly 80% of the country, assimilate the ethnic minorities who came to Europe, but if the Slavs go to Central Asia, this cannot be achieved.” Serov finally explained himself. ideas.
In 1969, the Soviet minority made up forty-four percent of the country’s population, but if you add Belarusians and Ukrainians, it’s not so bad. As long as it is guaranteed that Ukraine, the largest minority, does not have problems, in fact, the ethnic issue will not become a big problem for the Soviet Union.
Brezhnev finally discovered this, and only a few years later replaced Sherest, who was always open to Ukrainian culture, and made Sherbitsky, who was tougher on ethnic issues, a Ukrainian one. First in command, the first thing Shcherbitsky did after he came to power was to conduct an inventory of Sherest’s supporters, expel 5 percent of the Ukrainian Communist Party members, and then implement Russification. When Gotu came to power, this kind of work was almost complete. In Andropov’s time, no one thought that Ukraine would one day become a foreign country.
On a larger scale, no one in the world at that time could have predicted the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Even the Chinese government in the early 1980s believed that if it did not stand on the side of the United States, the United States would not be an opponent of the Soviet Union at all. Based on its own experience, China believes that the government structure of the Soviet Union is very suitable for long-term planning. The United States always changes presidents, and each president’s policies are different, which will cause problems such as delays in timing and duplication of construction. The Soviet Union did not have this problem. Even if the Soviet Union would fall behind temporarily, as long as time developed, the United States would not be an opponent of the Soviet Union sooner or later.
This thesis was valid before 1985. Before that year, although the United States had turned from defense to offense again, the Soviet Union had no obvious disadvantage and no danger of disintegration. The sudden disintegration of the Soviet Union stunned the world, not only shocked the Western political circles, but also had a huge impact on the Western academic circles, and was even considered the greatest shame by the Western social science circles. They questioned themselves: Why have Western countries invested so much money and research power over the years, established multiple research institutions and a large number of research positions in top-level universities, and set up so many special projects to study the Soviet Union, but there is not a single Western scholar in the Soviet Union? Any predictions about the disintegration of the Soviet Union were made beforehand, so what went wrong with Western Soviet studies?
Everyone is fine, it’s just that a certain idiot is more stupid than everyone imagines, so after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the idiot with the number one character is constantly explaining that he wants to give freedom to the people, stressing himself. I made no mistakes at the time. But all the countries ignored him and devoted money to research why the Soviet Union collapsed.
How to bring the local people out to Europe, this is not what Serov can do. He can’t let the internal affairs troops arrest people and send them to Europe. Even if he wants to, there is no new Stalin to support him.
The first secretary who loves the medal in front of him thinks, but Serov doesn’t think that he and Brezhnev have the kind of relationship between Beria and Stalin. I don’t have the shocking power of Beria that the whole Soviet Union dare not say a word, and Brezhnev is not a steel leader like Stalin. The two weakened versions should not be compared with the original.
Brezhnev will carefully consider the steps, and then decide whether to implement it or not. Serov has no time to wait here. He rushes to take the blame. It is time to show the courage of the anti-rebel workers.
At this time, the whole world has been bombed. The smuggling planned by Castro brought the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union back to the forefront. The population involved was all over Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union. Some people even said that it was planned by the Soviet Union. .
“I planned it!” Serov announced the explosive news as soon as he appeared. This news made all the reporters very excited. Not surprisingly, the latest headline is the Soviet General Political Commissar of State Security.
“General Serov, may I ask what crimes these people are detained in Cuba?” A Western reporter stood up and suppressed his excitement and asked. He is not an American, and he only cares whether the news this time has any news. explosive. The other issues are about the US and the Soviet Union, and it’s better to have a war of words, the more intense the better.
“As long as there are any group of people you can think of, but it doesn’t matter.” Shelov’s tone was soft, as if chatting with his neighbors, “You only need to remember one crime, that is anti-Soviet, They like the free world.”
“The U.S. Secretary of State called on the Soviet Union to repatriate these people. I don’t know what the Soviet Union’s attitude is.” Another question was asked, and all the reporters held their breaths. Obviously this question is very important. unusual.
“I personally don’t agree, they like capitalist countries. And for their crimes, they will face further trials if they return home, so for their safety, it’s best to stay in the United States. Before coming here, I have I said hello to the security departments of the Warsaw Pact countries, and now I ask you to bring a message for the prisoner group that has arrived in the United States.” Sheloff coughed twice, expressionlessly in front of hundreds of reporters, and ate slowly. After taking two pills and almost exhausting everyone’s patience, he said, “Let’s live well in the United States, dare to come back, I will shoot you all…”
In an instant, the reporters in the entire venue boiled over, and the recent headlines were all over. Serov, who had done all this, slowly stood up, patted the dust on the military coat, and left here under the **** of a group of security personnel. (To be continued~^~)
