Chapter 689 We are bound to win
"If General Secretary Kanhar is smarter, he should seize this opportunity to annex the Socialist Party immediately. If he sees the rapidly expanding power of the Socialist Party within a month, he should do this. The Socialist Party has lost its party leader, has no leader, and has no time to settle down. It is now very easy to defeat." Selov thought for a moment and called Andropov.
All day, the two of them discussed how to merge the entire left-leaning power under the Portuguese **. Finally, Andropov said meaningfully, "Suarez's death..., forget it, I shouldn't ask this question."
"I only do things that are beneficial to the country!" Selov did not answer this question positively, and the two of them were tacitly aware of it.
Subsequently, the leader of the Portuguese Communist Party, Alvaro Kanhar, and another Portuguese minister, Avalino Gonsaves, issued a statement, severely condemning the assassination because Suarez was delivering a speech towards socialism in Portugal. The timing of the assassination easily reminds people of the right-wing parties, and even if everyone has no evidence, the murderer was not caught.
The people during the revolutionary period were unreasonable. Portugal immediately gathered a march of more than 100,000 people, demanding the government to investigate the murderer strictly. The left and right forces had a fierce conflict. However, because the leader of the Socialist Party, Suarez, had just died and the supporters of socialism were very powerful, and the conflict was won.
The subsequent progress of things changed, and Portugal announced the merger of the Portuguese Socialist Party, which of course has a lot of complaints within the Socialist Party. It is not so much a merger as annexation. The gap in strength between the two parties is very obvious, but in this case, the Socialists cannot resist. The only prestigious leader Suarez has been assassinated. They also need ** to help Suarez seek justice.
Another reason why the Socialist Party agreed to merge was that Portugal declared that the armed forces movement was the guarantee of democracy. The Portuguese Communist Party developed close relations with General Calvajo, Vasco Gonsaves and other members of the seven-member committee. The armed forces movement became the most important decision-making body in Portugal at this time. The leadership of the armed forces movement was in the hands of the executive committee of twenty people, and its decisions were usually approved by the Congress of 240 delegates.
The twenty-member committee includes the chairman of the National Rescue Committee and six other members, five military ministers (the prime minister, two regardless of minister, interior minister and labor minister) and Odiro Saleva de Calvajo, the commander of the Armed Intervention group. Throughout the revolution, leaders of the Armed Intervention group promised that they would eventually arm the working class.
Because the Portuguese ** has had a huge impact on the military, the Socialists also know the importance of establishing connections with the military. When the leader Suarez has been assassinated, the Socialists finally compromised and agreed to merge with the ** and continue their activities in the name of the Portuguese **.
"We still overestimated the moral integrity of the Second International. They were as weak as their predecessors. Whether they threatened them or the bourgeoisie threatened them, they would always compromise. So we should keep a clear distance from the Second International and not be affected by them." Selov commented on the ancestors of the later generations of Bai Zuo. He originally thought that the Socialist Party would resist, whether it was against the Right-wing Party of ** or against the Portuguese, but he did not expect it to be so smooth.
The Communist Party of Portugal chose to cooperate with the armed forces movement and seize the Socialist Party's official newspaper, "The Republic", which is equivalent to integrating all pro-socialist forces. At least one thing can be clarified now. Without the supporters of the Socialist Party's diversion, this is equivalent to a basic platform that can face the other bourgeois People's Democratic Party more unitedly.
If there was no interference from the US and the Soviet Union, even if it was a Portuguese civil war, ** would be very sure to win. However, since neither the United States nor the Soviet Union would watch, it would be better not to break out of a civil war. For the Iberian Peninsula, the bloody Spanish civil war forty years ago was not a good memory, and the United States and the Soviet Union did not want to stand firm in opposition for Portugal.
The United States, which had just returned from a defeat in Vietnam, is now unable to force the support of the people regardless of public opinion. If the Soviet Union supports it, it must first solve the millions of NATO soldiers in front of it. It is completely impossible, not to mention that it is basically impossible.
He simply solved a hidden danger in advance through an assassination. From the perspective of the Soviet Union, Selov hated the Socialists of the Second International very much. These Engels believers forgot the most basic thing of the socialist movement and the spirit of resistance. They always use compromise to solve problems and are very easy to be bought. The result of the rampant white left in Europe in later generations has a lot to do with these traitors who endorsed capitalists.
"Yes, Chairman, but the Trotskyists will not be able to solve it easily. They are still continuing to incite the revolution." Morigin, the director of the First General Administration, stood aside, waiting for the Chairman's order.
"This is not something we can control. Let Prajna deal with them." When she thought of the Trotskyists, Selov felt that his head was much bigger. This group of believers of the world revolution gained a lot of voice in France because the Soviet Union intervened in the May Storm, and their momentum was much greater than in history. Now, when she saw a revolution in Portugal, she immediately flocked to her.
If the Second International always compromises, the Fourth International is too radical and always wants world revolutions. In their eyes, world revolutions are easier than drinking water. In the eyes of the Fourth International, the **s of various countries are similar to those of Selov's eyes. Selov said that the Second International is a traitor, and the Fourth International believes that the Soviet Union is a traitor.
But now is the revolutionary period, and it is better to keep these people than to keep the Socialists. In the future, I will have a chance to deal with these people.
Golinov and Meshatsev were more skilled in doing this than himself. He was a little self-aware of it. He did not have much attainment in these papers of Marxism-Leninism. In the eyes of others, he was a safety cadre and a very dangerous safety cadre.
"Back?" When he returned home, Ye Lianna and Valia were chatting on the sofa. When they saw their men coming back, they came over one after another. One took off their hats and the other helped take off their coats, which made the General Political Commissar feel alert and his body stiffened. He suddenly felt uncomfortable with such good treatment.
"Well, you guys? Forget it, I'll go and see if my daughter has done her homework." In addition to two women, there are only two daughters left in the villa. His sons live on campus, and there are too many family members, and it is difficult for him to explain the issue of Ye Lianna's identity. Only the eldest daughter is more sensible and can understand, while the younger daughter is ignorant and cannot understand the relationship at all.
"What is Yulia doing?" Selov went upstairs to the door of his daughter's room and shouted first, then slowly pushed open the door. The eldest daughter was his pride and was writing quickly under the desk lamp. He did not mean to disturb his daughter. He sat on the side and waited.
After a while, Yulia, who had grown into a big girl, put down her pen and asked with her head tilted, "Father, the political teacher always said that we must win, but you also said that the capitalist camp is stronger than our overall. Since this is the case, their population is large and the place is larger and the development speed is greater. Will our country always fall behind?"
"Your political classes have eliminated the difference in wages, so you don't feel obvious in school, but once you go to society, you students will know that what we eliminate is only the superficial class, and classes have always existed, but it only takes careful observation to discover it in the Soviet Union. While conducting political classes, in fact, if the conditions are possible, your mother should find a way to send a group of students every year to experience it in ordinary countries. Unfortunately, the cost is too great, and you can only wait for the future." Selov shrugged. The KGB was rich, but she could not send millions of students abroad to experience the days of the Third World a year.
"Father, you're off topic. I'm asking how we can defeat the capitalist camp." Yulia tightened her smile and reminded her father that she was not asking this question.
"Oh, I'm off topic, right!" Selov blew, and his rare old face blushed in front of his daughter, "Let's do this, Yulia, I'll tell you a story, the story of the reform of the Gragu brothers in the late Roman Republic."
In the expectation of his daughter, Selov told this story. Two thousand years ago, the Roman Republic entered its late stage, and a large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of a few manor owners. The manor owners used slaves to reduce production costs, and a large number of farmers lost their land because they could not compete with the manor owners and sold themselves as slaves. The source of the Roman army was threatened. The Gragu brothers, who were aristocratic, introduced reform policies to limit the land area of the manor owners. This reform touched the interests of the Senate nobles.
In the end, the Gragu brothers were killed by the Senate. Roman citizens lost the way to protect their own interests through legal means, and the life of the Roman Republic entered the countdown.
"The Gragu brothers just wanted to limit the rights of some senate and give ordinary people some way to survive. They were killed, and then Caesar, who was born from the same noble but advocated the same. He forgave the Senate, but he was also assassinated. When the Senate believed that all the threats had been eliminated, the people who buried them finally appeared. The continuous assassination had caused the ancient Romans to lose hope. At this time, they united by Octavian and wiped out all the nobles in the Senate." Sellov held his grown-up daughter and said, "The story of the Gragu brothers has appeared in our time. Do you think the death of the Kennedy brothers is very similar?"
