Chapter 638 The case of Khrushchev

“We are not afraid of anyone. Because we are on the side of truth, we are not afraid. Even our big brother is not afraid. We are not afraid of our friends. Even our enemies are not afraid. We have defeated I’m alone; I’m not afraid of anyone. I’m independent and the world knows we’re independent.”

“If we win the struggle in Southeast Asia, shake the bourgeoisie in Southeast Asia, and turn this vast area into a paradise for the proletariat, it will completely change the political map of the world.” Le Duan just arrived at the Kremlin. Expounding my own ideas, I first drew a big pie for the Soviet leadership.

“Isn’t this just telling us the same rhetoric about China again? China is not good at fooling around, but it came to us to get support!” Serov tilted his head and whispered Andropov next to him , “But our first secretary seems to have been tempted!” From Serov’s point of view, there was a slight change in Brezhnev’s face, no more, he was a taciturn person, No one knows what to think without speaking.

   I have to say that Le Duan’s remarks, although unrealistic for China, may not be the case for the Soviet Union. China does not have the ability to organize a world united front, the Soviet Union can, but in the end Brezhnev should also ignore this suggestion. It is absolutely impossible for the first secretary who pays so much attention to practical interests to fool him with the proletariat. I don’t know that the Soviet Union is implementing a relaxation strategy, and Serov rarely shows his tough attitude after returning to China.

   Sure enough, Brezhnev spoke highly of Le Duan’s speech, but did not mention the world united front. Brezhnev’s strategic offensive plan can be described in one sentence, that is to bully the soft and fear the hard. It is a very practical plan. In the face of Western Europe, which cannot be acted on for a while, adopt a easing strategy and attack in other directions. Because Western Europe is particularly important, the United States will not compromise, and the United States can compromise. Such a practical plan, and such an incompetent Soviet leader, would never go to war between the World United Front and the United States.

“Comrade Le Duan, we support Vietnam’s just actions, and relevant assistance has been carried out, but we cannot deny that the enemy is still strong, and now is not the time for world revolution.” As Brezhnev’s comrade-in-arms , Secretary of the Central Committee Kirilenko, at the right moment, said what Brezhnev wanted to say but could not.

The timing of the world revolution depends entirely on the needs of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is now trying to deceive Western Europe by de-escalating. Naturally, the socialist movement is at a low ebb. If the Soviet Union feels that its strength can carry out the next round of expansion, then the world will naturally be in a state of decline. During the period of vigorous development of the socialist movement, all the socialist parties were there. Support or not is not a matter of the Soviet Union. The current attitude of the Soviet Union is that the time for world revolution is immature.

“Comrade Le Duan, we can’t pin our hopes on defeating all the enemies at once. It takes time to build our ideal world, and we have to do it step by step.” At this time, Serov spoke, and he couldn’t watch the Vietnamese want to unify the motherland. Flickering the Soviet Union, “The overall situation in the world has undergone some changes, and we have also seen this change, but this change is mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia, and there has not been significant improvement in other directions, so we need to study it.”

“Comrade Serov is our strategic expert, and we have to pay attention to his opinion.” Brezhnev secretly said that I had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he was waiting for Serov to speak out. In the current Soviet Union, the hat of this security expert is almost closing in on the name of Suslov’s thinker, and the two are about the same level of stability.

  The reason why the Soviet Union could not do this was pushed to Serov. Brezhnev explained the current policy of the Soviet Union, but at the same time guaranteed that he would absolutely support the war in Vietnam at this time. It promised assistance including oil, weapons, food and cloth to help Vietnam in the war to solve certain urgent needs.

After receiving Le Duan, Brezhnev left Serov and Andropov behind, put his hands on the desk for a moment, and said, “What do you think of Le Duan, is he the one we need?”

   “There is a strong sense of pride in Le Duan’s words, a proud nationalist.” Andropov thought for a while.

“There is also a paranoid internationalism that believes that Vietnam has the support of the whole world, but Comrade Andropov is also right. It is very strange that these two attitudes appear in one person.” Serov added later. .

   This is not incomprehensible. In the 1970s, the gap between the two camps was rapidly approaching, and many people had become accustomed to success and were still passionate about the basic beliefs of Marxism: socialism represents a stage of human development that is more advanced than capitalism. It seems that beyond the capitalist camp is imminent, and it is impossible for anyone to think that their side is a loser.

“It can be confirmed that this person has no respect for any country except his own country, including our Soviet Union, but the paranoid internationalism of Le Duan, if used properly, can completely become the key to Southeast Asia. Hundreds of thousands of The Vietnamese army with rich combat experience can help us accomplish many things. We can even call them together to fight on other continents.” Shelov proposed another imagination. In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, any socialist country can Not weak, but the main reason why the Soviet Union chose Cuba was that countries including Eastern Europe could not mobilize their forces, and North Korea also meant that they were not doing enough work. In this case, Vietnam was actually a good choice.

“Oh!” Brezhnev turned into a face of honor and disgrace again, but he was actually thinking about the pros and cons of this man to the Soviet Union, and finally said, “We promise all the support he needs, Andropov. Comrade to do this. As for Serov, the work of Vietnam’s military advisory group is to change the thinking of this country’s military, as you said, to cultivate more internationalism in it, and wait for us to finalize all contracts with Western Europe. , After two or three years, it will not be as small as it is now, the discoloration of one country and two countries is not enough to make us happy, we have to attack in an all-round way.”

   “I’ve been waiting for the day when the military construction of several key countries will become the base for our attack.” Shelov said with a smile.

   “This will make us wait for that day.” Brezhnev smiled gently. This was not only the Soviet Union’s attack, but also his personal attack. As for the direction of the attack, there are domestic and foreign countries. He felt that he should solve some problems.

   Before the 24th Congress of the CPSU, Brezhnev, Sherepin and Kosygin implemented collective leadership. With the solidarity of the three, the Soviet Union’s economic growth remained above 10 percent throughout the three years of Khrushchev’s retirement.

Three years passed in a flash, and in the Great Hall of the Kremlin, the 24th Congress of the CPSU was held. Nearly 5,000 delegates with voting rights and 233 delegates with the right to speak were present. Representing 14 million party members and 650,000 reserve party members. Also present at the Congress were delegations from 102 Communist, Left Socialist and National Democratic parties from 91 countries.

Kirilenko, Secretary of the Central Committee, said, “In view of the consideration of centralizing leadership and respecting traditions, we have decided to change the first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to general secretary, so that the leadership can be centralized and the efficiency advantages of our country can be brought into play.” This proposal The appearance of it caused a lot of discussion, and finally it was unanimously approved, just a name.

   Then Yegolychev, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, proposed that the Party and State Supervision Commission be changed to the Central Supervision Commission. Afterwards, Brezhnev’s Central Committee and the Committee’s summary report, Sherepin’s Central Supervisory Committee’s summary report, and Kosygin’s report on the 1971 Soviet Union’s five-year plan for the development of the national economy.

After that, Brezhnev made a speech and threw out the concept of developed socialism for the first time, “Socialism as a complete social system has matured in all aspects, and has developed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner, and the productive forces have developed at a high level. The elements of socialism, the various institutions, laws and advantages of socialism are fully and fully functioning. Now we can say that the Soviet Union has reached this concept,”

  Brezhnev’s speech marked that as the general secretary of the Soviet Union, he officially put forward his own ideas. Then the meeting elected 240 Central Committee members and 155 replacement Central Committee members.

Ten days after the meeting, the Salyut-1 space station was launched, and the Soviet Union first began to try to work in space for a long time. After the May 1st parade, Zinev walked up to Serov and said, “Chairman, it seems Khrushchev The comrade’s body has some problems, and the news sent by our security cadres over there.”

   “Go and have a look!” Shelov took a deep breath and said, Khrushchev has lived in the arranged villa since his retirement. Calculate the time this year is the time of Khrushchev’s death, there are such considerations, so he must go and see. In any case, he can be said to appreciate the fastest in Khrushchev’s administration. Although this old man has a bad temper, he has nothing to feel sorry for him. He even hoped that Khrushchev would live a few more years, at least to make Brezhnev have some scruples. (To be continued~^~)
