The one hundred and sixty-fourth palm merge

When she appeared again, Selov was already in Kremlin Khrushchev's office and told all the details of his trip to Indonesia, "I met Aidi and also conducted an investigation on Indonesia, including light industry and some rubber industry plantations, Indonesia's rubber industry and Malaysia, Thailand, and other countries are hard to say who is the real rubber kingdom, but it is enough to supply industries from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, and there is no problem..."

Among all the allies of the Soviet Union, there was no real tropical country, otherwise Stalin and Khrushchev would not want China to plant rubber in the south. Most of the raw materials such as rubber are controlled by Britain and the United States. If the Soviet Union wants to buy it, it must control the United Kingdom and the United States of origin. With the economic system where the United States and the Soviet Union can be said to be old and dead, the United States can hold on to the Soviet Union without any scruples and not worrying about the Soviet Union's neck. Even if it is damaged, it is completely acceptable. However, it seems that the situation has changed slightly at present. Indonesia is undergoing changes that are beneficial to the Soviet Union. Khrushchev seems to have seen this.

"You set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Indonesia to deal with the Indonesian Army? Have you considered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can actually deal with the Indonesian Communist Party?" Khrushchev asked a key point. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite frightening, otherwise Beria would not be attacked by the group.

"The Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs has limited capabilities. I have deduced it specifically while watching, and it is difficult to act alone without Sukarno! From the beginning, I have absorbed members with opposition to Bonapartism as the assessment standard. The first enemy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Indonesian Army!" Shelov's explanation of the 11th issue raised by Khrushchev did not dare to have any omissions.

This answer made Khrushchev quite satisfied. The young cadre in front of him was the director of the General Administration of Military Administration. It should be reassuring to judge this issue! Speaking of Bonapartism, Khrushchev had a hidden worry, that is, the brewing disarmament. The Soviet Union's aerospace and nuclear industry had made breakthrough progress! From the first artificial satellite to the first spacecraft, Moon 1, which arrived in the lunar orbit, to the Venus probe launched this year. The advancement of aerospace technology made Khrushchev believe more and more that the Soviet Union did not need to retain so many troops in conventional military forces to achieve a balance of power over the Americans. The remaining money can be used for economic development.

But the problem is that the decision to disarmament is not so easy! Military generals must be kept from rebounding. Looking at the director of the General Administration of Military Administration in front of him, Khrushchev asked with a test attitude, "What do you think the Ministry of Defense's attitude towards the disarmament plan?"

"On the surface, it should be a move that supports the first secretary's actions! Even if you are dissatisfied, you will not say it!" Shelov thought for a moment and gave the most reasonable answer! It is the wisest to choose to tell the truth on such a question.

"Even if you have any dissatisfaction, you won't say it out?" Khrushchev nodded in a clear way, showing a hint of ridicule with a clear attitude of love and hate. "Yes, those veteran generals of the Red Army want us to invest all our money in the development of military power. In their opinion, tanks can be eaten and diesel can be drunk as water..."

This sentence cannot be answered! With Selov's responsibility, if Khrushchev was ready to take action against the army, he would be able to do whatever he wanted! Khrushchev had always been dissatisfied with the huge scale of the Red Army. From the time of developing the aerospace industry and nuclear industry, he had the intention of disarmament at the same time. The huge expenditure of the Soviet Red Army has always made the government's funds unoptimistic. The Soviet Union has not yet discovered the Tyumen Oilfield in the 1970s. While using oil profits for foreign exchange to increase the welfare system, he used all his money to develop heavy industry. Khrushchev's life was actually far from what Brezhnev later.

The conditions for Brezhnev to take office were much better than Khrushchev. Khrushchev adopted many great reforms with sequelae, but some of them did achieve success! Brezhnev then terminated all reforms because of the problems of Czechoslovakia. The two leaders were completely opposite extremes. If Khrushchev drove a rocket, Brezhnev would drive a classic car.

What made Selov the most headache was that Brezhnev seemed very reluctant to use young people. I wonder if it was because of the role played by Serepin and others in overthrowing Khrushchev, and because of the early checks and balances of Serepin, Brezhnev had no good feelings for young cadres, and the cadres appointed were all very old. He himself was also unwilling to see strange faces in familiar occasions. Even if young cadres with good conditions appeared in all aspects, Brezhnev was more willing to let older cadres occupy an important position.

This simply defeated Selov's path. Instead of Brezhnev coming up to play **********, it would be better to let Khrushchev work for two more years. At least this first secretary with clear love and hate is really good to young people. No matter how many mistakes he made, he is at least a communist, and there is absolutely no problem with faith.

"Why, when we meet the generals of the Ministry of National Defense, our Caspian Tiger dare not respond? This is not good. You are the director of the General Administration of Military Administration and should not be afraid!" Khrushchev said to Selov in an educational tone.

"After all, they are all old marshals of the Patriotic War. How could I, a young man, treat them?" Selov did not feel embarrassed at all. This was the case. In front of Khrushchev, Selov tried his best to tell the truth, "These people have too high prestige. If they really have any objections to disarmament, how can I, a lieutenant general, deal with it? Of course, I will still do my best to do the instructions of the First Secretary..."

This passage was said completely according to his original intention. The Red Army's military bosses who had a good relationship with Brezhnev could not be shaken by himself and Xie Lieping. If you want to be honest, you can only let Khrushchev, the first secretary, take the initiative to attack. Serov beat the side drum below, and it would be better to retire two!

"The surrenderist idea is not necessary. We Communists must adhere to principles. Of course, you are relatively young, so I can understand it!" Khrushchev acted as if he had experienced many battles. From the perspective of the Soviet leader, Khrushchev was the most like a human being. Serov has seen the human side. It is hard to imagine that Stalin would make a frivolous expression, and Brezhnev would not have such a side.

Shelov suddenly remembered that he had a bunch of photos on him? He took out the photos taken from Bali and handed them to Khrushchev, so that the conversation could be separated from the topic of disarmament. "This time I visited Bali, Indonesia. To be honest, I have never seen the scenery there before! First Secretary, come and take a look..."

"Oh? Is that?" Khrushchev was very interested when he heard this. His time and itinerary in Indonesia were far less free than Selov. Naturally, it was impossible for him to go to Bali specifically. But these photos immediately attracted Khrushchev, looking at the beautiful scenery in the photos, and exclaimed from time to time, "What a pity, if I have the chance, I also want to go and see it. Maybe I can travel there after retirement..."

Retirement? Shelov was stunned suddenly, and just stood in front of Khrushchev, and Khrushchev was also stunned! The atmosphere suddenly became quite strange, "First Secretary, it's too early to talk about this issue now. I hope you don't say such things in the future!"

"I just talk casually! There are still many reforms that have not been completed!" Khrushchev looked at the photos while talking haha. Khrushchev is already sixty-six years old this year. Unlike ordinary Soviet leaders, he is really seriously considering the issue of successors. Although the issue of successors has just just appeared in Khrushchev's mind. Compared with other general secretary who have been in the position of death, Khrushchev is indeed not prepared to die as the first secretary.

"Oh, fortunately, I just said it casually!" Xie Luof also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he loved the First Secretary, but that Xie Lieping and the others had no strength to defeat other forces at all.

After reading all the photos Selov took out, Khrushchev asked with satisfaction, "What is your trip this year?"

"Comrade First Secretary, I will go to Italy in the second half of the year to take a look at the Italian environment and prepare to put some products into production in Italy last year! After the improvement is completed, I will return to China and devote myself to society!" Shelov said in an attentive report.

"So?" Khrushchev pointed his finger at the table and pondered for a moment, "This year, this department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be revoked. You must cooperate with Comrade Xie Lieping to accept the specific work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which work should be handed over to the Republic, and those work should be merged into the KGB. This department that has caused great panic is also time to reach the end of history..."

Today is the most important news that Selov heard. I don’t know if Khrushchev abolished the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year in history, but he understood that since the Ministry of Internal Affairs that was split in the Beria era, it will soon be merged into the KGB! The KGB of the Selepin era in the Semicchasne era are huge institutions that can be compared with the Beria era. They are far from the department that was shackled by Brezhnev.

Holding back the excitement in my heart, Selov maintained a respectful attitude and said, "Before going to Italy, I will definitely handle the matters in the country first, and I will never let any problems with the abolition of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Shelov, who left the Kremlin, returned directly to No. 11, Ruby Yangka Square, and exchanged the news he received today with KGB Chairman Xie Lieping. "Retire?" Xie Lieping was also very surprised. The news brought back by Shelov was a bit unacceptable. (To be continued.)
