Chapter 628: Stay in America
"How many years have you done?" Brezhnev asked, "This is a long-term project, and changes will be generated in a subtle way, but if they succeed, it is indeed a big threat."
Why did Brezhnev say this? It’s not that he believed in the KGB’s judgment so much. He was a very practical person. To draw a blueprint, he believed in Selov’s statement because this was what the Soviet Union faced. The birth rate of the Soviet minorities, especially those in Central Asia and the Caucasus, had always been very high. During the Imperial Russia period, the population only accounted for a very small part of the Russian Empire. If the Soviet Union had not been hit hard in Europe during the Patriotic War, this situation might not have been so imminent. But now when we think about the population ratio, Brezhnev was completely confused.
The trick of mixing sand has been used, in Central Asia, mainly to stabilize Kazakhstan. It has also been used to re-dividate ethnic groups. The Tajiks were divided from the Uzbek Republic and the merger of administrative regions have also been used in Ukraine. However, the fertility rate in the Soviet Union and Europe is not as good as that in Central Asia and the Caucasus. The Soviet Union said more about ethnic integration than in later China. Brezhnev felt that he should have a special talk with the General Political Commissar on population issues. Maybe Selov had a solution.
"It should have been a few years since the Algerian War of Independence," Selov replied.
Brezhnev nodded in a clear understanding, and this year is really not short. It seems that the KGB has always achieved great success in policy continuity. Of course, if these policies were all formulated by Selov, this would be a thing of the past.
In a short period of time, Brezhnev's brain teasers were running. When facing such problems, he did not need anyone to teach him. He had his own standards for how much value a cadre is and how to use it.
The Soviet Union itself had ethnic minorities. Apart from some mistakes in the division of Ukrainians, there was basically no problem. Those ethnic groups had existed for a long time, and they had always lived there whether they recognized it or not. In this era, Brezhnev could not learn from the Tsars of all dynasties. He first used the armed pioneering group to clean up. The descendants of the armed pioneering group are currently in the United States. The Soviets, who claim that everyone is equal, cannot do such things, so we have to think of other ways.
After the meeting, Brezhnev specially kept Selov and discussed the issue. Many methods have been used by the Soviet Union, but the effect cannot be said to be lacking, but it has not met Moscow's prediction. As the country's supreme leader, Brezhnev is preparing to talk to the Eye of the Alliance, hoping that Selov can come up with a good idea.
"All data from the Soviet Union are in your mind. I don't believe you haven't seen our population imbalance problem." Brezhnev lit a cigarette and asked his own question in a very obscure way. The so-called population imbalance is far less serious than another problem, that is, the population growth of the Soviet Union is unbalanced and ethnic minorities grow too fast.
"If we follow the experience of our department, it is to link the house to the number of children. The more children, the bigger the house, the better, but this will put huge pressure on the government. Building a house requires steel, cement, and wood. Many departments are not just talking about it with their mouths. If we count it in terms of departments, the Ministry of Defense should be OK in addition to the KGB, and Minister Tykunov's Ministry of Petroleum Industry can also do it, and it is difficult for other departments to say it." Selov has been thinking about this issue for more than ten years. The most significant way at present is to link houses to children. However, if the Soviet Union does this, government spending will increase dramatically. If you want to dilute the cost of this dramatically, you can only re-establish the Gulag and have more than one million free labor in your hand to dilute the cost in this area.
"The previous method was to mix sand in the local area, but this was still not as good as the growth of the local population. This was mainly due to environmental factors, so the effect of blindly migrating the population to the frontier would become lower and lower. We must find ways to move local ethnic groups out and provide more opportunities to let them leave the local area and come to Europe. These people who come to Europe will lose the local environment, and once they successfully attract the population to Europe, we can give another advantage, so that the Slavs, who occupy nearly 80% of the country, assimilate to the minority groups in Europe, but if the Slavs go to Central Asia, they will not be able to do this." Selov finally explained his own ideas.
In 1969, the Soviet ethnic minorities accounted for 44% of the national population, but if Belarusians and Ukrainians were added, it was actually far from that bad. As long as the largest ethnic minority, Ukraine, was guaranteed that there would be no problems with Ukraine, in fact, ethnic issues would not become a major problem in the Soviet Union.
Brezhnev finally realized this. He changed Sherest, who always had a side to Ukrainian culture network a few years later, and made Serbisky, who was more tough on ethnic issues, become the leader of Ukraine. The first thing after Serbisky came to power was to investigate Sherest's supporters, expel five percent of Ukrainian Communist Party members, and then promote russification. When Go Map came to power, this kind of work was actually close to completion. In the Andropov era, no one thought that Ukraine would one day become a foreign country.
To put it more broadly, no one in the world at that time could have expected the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even the Chinese government in the early 1980s believed that if it was not on the side of the United States, the United States would not be the opponent of the Soviet Union at all. Based on its own experience, China believed that the Soviet government structure was very suitable for long-term planning. The United States always changed presidents, and the policies of each president were different, which would cause problems such as delaying opportunities, repeated construction, etc. The Soviet Union did not have this problem. Even if the Soviet Union would temporarily lag behind, as long as it develops as time goes on, the United States would sooner or later be the opponent of the Soviet Union.
This conclusion was established before 1985. Before that year, although the United States had turned back into offense, the Soviet Union did not show obvious disadvantages and could not see the danger of disintegration. The sudden disintegration of the Soviet Union stunned the whole world, not only shocked the Western politics, but also caused a huge impact on the Western academic community. It was even considered the greatest shame by the Western social science community. They asked themselves: Why did Western countries invest so much money and research forces over the years, establish multiple research institutions and a large number of research positions in top universities, and set up so many special projects to study the Soviet Union, but no Western scholar made any predictions about the disintegration of the Soviet Union in advance. So what was wrong with Western Soviet research?
No one has any problems with everyone, but the stupidity of a fool was beyond everyone's imagination. So after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the idiot with the number one name in Tianzi kept explaining that he wanted to give freedom to the people, and emphasized that he had made no mistakes at that time. But no one in all countries paid attention to him and devoted money to studying why the Soviet Union collapsed.
How to lead the local people to Europe is not something Selov can do. He cannot let the internal affairs forces arrest people and send them to Europe. Even if he wants, there is no new Stalin to support him.
The first secretary who loved the medal in front of me thought, but Selov did not think that he and Brezhnev were in the relationship between Beria and Stalin. He did not have the shocking power of Beria that he did not dare to speak out in the Soviet Union. Brezhnev was not a steel leader like Stalin. Don’t compare the two weakened versions with the original version.
Brezhnev would carefully consider the steps and then decide whether it would be implemented. Selov had no time to wait here, so he rushed to take the blame. It was time to show the courage of the anti-counterfeiting workers.
At this time, the whole world was already in full swing. The smuggling planned by Castro pushed the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union back to the forefront. The population involved was spread throughout the Soviet Union, including the entire Eastern Europe of the Soviet Union. Some even said that this was planned by the Soviet Union.
"I planned it!" Shelov announced the explosive news just now that he appeared. This news made all reporters very excited. If nothing unexpected happened, the recent headline was the Soviet Union's General Political Commissar.
"General Selov, what crime did these people commit when they were detained in Cuba?" A Western reporter stood up and suppressed his excitement and asked. He was not an American, and he only cared about whether the news this time was explosive. Other questions were the matter between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was better to have a verbal battle, and the more intense the better.
"As long as you can think of people, it doesn't matter." Selov's tone was soft, as if he was chatting with his neighbors, "You only need to remember one crime, that is, anti-Soviet, they like the free world."
"The US Secretary of State called on the Soviet Union to repatriate these people, but I don't know what the Soviet Union's attitude was." Another question was asked, and all the reporters held their breath. Obviously, this question was very important, and they vaguely felt that the answer they got was unusual.
"I personally disagree. They like capitalist countries. And as for their crimes, they will face continued trials if they return home, so it is best to stay in the United States for the sake of their lives and safety. Before I came here, I had already greeted the security departments of the Warsaw Pact countries. Now I ask you to bring words to the group of prisoners who have arrived in the United States." Shelov coughed twice, and was expressionless in front of hundreds of reporters. He took two pills slowly, and almost wiped out everyone's patience before saying, "Life well in the United States. If you dare to come back, I will shoot you..."
In an instant, the reporters in the venue were boiling, and the headlines were recently released. Sherov, who had done all this, slowly stood up, patted the dust on the military coat, and left here under the escort of a group of security personnel. (To be continued.)8
