Chapter 781 Cadre Adjustment
This is not from the re-election of the last conference, but from the time Brezhnev came to power until now, the re-election rate of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. In addition to partly because of the incompatibility with Brezhnev, most of the Central Committee members who died of illness during their term of office. In such a powerful country in the Soviet Union, the natural metabolism of the natural dying force actually depends on old age and death?
Shelov, who looked haggard and overworked, looked at the second row behind and was full of familiar faces. Although every conference emphasized the need to maintain the mobility of the cadre class, now he only saw the way of cadres' death. Half of them could not see this. They could only see that the Soviet Union became stronger and stronger, and the United States was suppressing breathless.
Selov, who had something in his mind, suddenly interrupted his thoughts by a burst of applause, and warm applause rang out of the audience. Brezhnev should have paused in the middle of his speech, and Chernenko led to the warm applause from the audience. Selov, who came to his senses, applauded and expressed his support for Brezhnev.
This time, at the 25th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union at the beginning of 1976, it can be said that it was generally very enthusiastic. The speeches of cadres from all over the country were also filled with confidence in victory. From the external environment, the world economic crisis in the capitalist camp has not yet completely passed. The Soviet Union sent troops to seize Constantinople and solved its major concerns in the Near East. As one goes up and down, the Soviet Union did not invest much military expenditure, and the Warsaw Pact gained an unprecedented military advantage over NATO.
The entire Eurasian continent was firmly controlled by the Soviet Union and cut into two sections by the Soviet Union. There was no route at both ends of the Eurasian continent that the Soviet Union could not radiate, and all transportation lines must be approved by the Soviet Union. If this is a kind of hegemony, the land power held by the Soviet Union has never appeared in human history. Faced with Eurasian countries in any direction, the Soviet Union can gain an absolute advantage. Even if they have the support of the United States behind them.
Although this is a little different from the complete body in Selov's plan, it has been mostly completed, and the rest only needs to be repaired. This kind of Lu Quan is in his hands. As long as the Soviet Union is not stupid, it can at least be invincible.
In terms of internal environment, due to the world economic crisis caused by the soaring oil prices, Soviet rivals were in a state of great concern, and a large number of enterprises went bankrupt. Western European countries relaxed technological blockades in order to balance spending and invested in the Soviet Union, which narrowed the gap between the two sides. Not only the Soviet Union, but also Eastern European countries also generally benefited from this economic crisis.
Under such circumstances, at the 25th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev was not Brezhnev alone, but all the Soviet cadres and representatives at all levels participating in the conference. It seemed that the United States and NATO were about to be in front of us. This emotion infected foreign representatives participating in the conference, including Chile and Cuba in Latin America, Vietnam in Southeast Asia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, and nearly 100 Communist parties across five continents.
Every time the Soviet Union held a conference, these foreign pro-Soviet parties were indispensable to support each other. More than 4,500 people sat in the auditorium. This influence seemed to be a little stronger than the same period in history.
Central Secretary Andropov submitted a report on the prospects of the world communist movement, highlighting the development of the progressive movement in the world in recent years. The conclusion is of course an unprecedented advantage in the century, and the situation of the communist movement is very good.
After Andropov's speech, Selov picked up his hat and put it on his head, walked to the front of the podium, saluted a military salute to the more than 4,55 Soviet Union and delegations from all over the audience, and said in a low voice, "Welcome the proletarian comrades from all countries to the motherland of the proletariat. Let me explain the current security situation below."
After the warm applause, she pretended to wear glasses without degrees. Selov nodded to the representatives in all directions and signaled that the atmosphere in the entire venue was solemn, leaving only his own cold but aggressive voice. "Comrade Andropov has already explained the security situation of the entire socialist camp from the perspective of national security. Twenty years ago, for the peace of the entire Eastern Europe and its own country, the Soviet Union had to organize the Warsaw Treaty System to prevent NATO's sudden attacks. I believe that anyone who has a little understanding of history knows that the Soviet Union had just begun to live in peace with capitalist countries, but things have evolved to this day. The responsibility is not on our side at all. Some countries' attacks on the Soviet Union are completely unreasonable."
"Some people say that the Warsaw Pact countries have already gained an absolute advantage in military power, but they still do not disarmament and are still in arms race. This is a provocation to world peace, etc. I ask those who raise such questions to think about it carefully. The Soviet Union did not fight two wars in a row across the vast Pacific Ocean. Today, there are many domestic problems in the United States, which has a lot to do with these two wars." Selov continued, "The countries that raise such questions should not notice another remark. Many allies of the Soviet Union on other continents have suggested to us that under such absolute advantage, they should use military power to win Europe and completely kill NATO to win the Cold War victory. But we did not do this. In fact, I think confrontation is necessary, but we can completely win without war means and do not need to occupy Western Europe. This is of no benefit to us."
"So you don't need to worry about the invasion of the Soviet Union in those capitalist countries. We will watch you grow old slowly in another house with a telescope instead of killing you. This is not good for us." There is no way, Brezhnev believes that capitalism is not invincible, and he can only further derogate the capitalist country from a Kobe. In this way, in comparison, Brezhnev is still a moderator, and Selov himself is still a hardliner.
Selov must jump higher to cover Brezhnev, even if he is not willing to do so. Some words must be said, and he must jump up and down to attract firepower. Only in this way can the General Secretary's wisdom and martial arts be reflected. I believe that Brezhnev said that socialism will definitely defeat capitalism in the future, and Selov said that socialism will definitely defeat capitalism in the foreseeable future.
"Although Comrade Selov's words are a bit optimistic, they are not unreasonable. The future development of the motherland still requires different comrades to work together to build our motherland." Brezhnev did not say that Selov's words were right, nor did he say that they were wrong, and used his usual methods to conceal the past.
This kind of congress in an important sense is just a day to let everyone show their faces. As the big brother of the socialist camp, this is not a simple domestic meeting. The reason why it takes more than a week is that it is necessary to leave time for proposals from other countries, before that, the Soviet leadership and visiting leaders of various countries took photos.
Raul Castro, Minister of the Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba, Zhivkov, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Bulgaria, Gelek, First Secretary of the Unified Workers' Party of Poland, Kadar, First Secretary of the Socialist Workers' Party of Hungary, Kosykin, Chairman of the Council of Soviet Ministers, Suslov, Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and Xie Lieping, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, were in the first row.
The second row is Serov, Chairman of the National Security Council, Andropov, Secretary of the Central Committee, Ustinov, Secretary of the Central Committee, Honak, General Secretary of the United Socialist Party of Democratic Germany, Demiakhiv, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Zedenbar, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, Ceausesku, General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party, Husak, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Communist Party, and Yarosevic, Chairman of the Polish Council of Ministers.
The third row is the leaders of socialist parties in Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Sudan, Ethiopia, and the marshal of the Soviet Ministry of Defense. This can be understood as a group photo of socialism winning. Except for the Chilean President who just merged the Chilean Communist Party, Allende, the first secretary of the Chilean Socialist Party, and Angola and Thailand, who are still fighting, all countries are here. Even the Greek presidents and Finnish presidents who are not socialist countries are taking photos.
The meeting of a few days was about to pass. On the last day of the 25th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev proposed his own understanding of some important cadres. Polyansky, the First Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, served as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Ukraine, and Serbisky, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Ukraine, served as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Sherest, the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine, replaced Polyansky as the assistant of Kosykin.
This is like a rotation of the positions of the three people, but then Brezhnev proposed that Comrade Serepin was too busy as the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, so he proposed that Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers Semichasne serve as the chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission, and the vacant position will be replaced by Comrade Gihonov.
Brezhnev handed over the position of Chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission, which Xie Lieping was also a close friend of Xie Lieping, so that Xie Lieping would not object. At the same time, at this highly anticipated meeting, Xie Lieping would not object, which also increased Xie Lieping's rights. But there seemed to be something wrong...
Brezhnev's proposal was approved by most of the Central Committee members, and the 25th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union concluded.
"This time he fought against us and Kosykin at the same time, and I always felt that things were not that simple." Shelov said, leaving the auditorium.
Chapter completed!
