Chapter eight hundred and ninety third preemptive opening
In this period, Selov had to do something more practical. In the Great Kremlin, he met some people, including Soviet figures thirty years ago, Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich, and Selpirov. These Khrushchev's political enemies were not rehabilitated during the Brezhnev era, and now they are all old people in their twilight years.
"Thirty years ago, you could kill me if you had a single idea. The first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers." Selov had no special thoughts when facing these old people, nor did he have the idea of pretending.
A very embarrassing fact is that these group of Khrushchev's political enemies are in good health. If this group of people win, they might still be in power today. Under the cover of time, they will eventually defeat Khrushchev. Fortunately, this thing did not happen, and being destroyed means that they are not capable of being able to do so.
"Let's go short, some historical scars need to be breached. I can restore your party membership and treatment, give you a certain degree of freedom, and also supervise the party and the country. But it's not supervision myself, so don't even think about this." Taking a sip of sugared black tea, signaling Little Valia to go out and pour a glass of water. Selov continued, "This is not a show of kindness to you. The vote twenty-seven years ago was enough to explain the problem. Later, the first secretary was a little too much, which was another problem."
The vote that Selov mentioned refers to the story of Malenkov leading the plenary meeting of the Central Presidium to remove Khrushchev, and Khrushchev turned defeat into victory through the plenary meeting of the Central Committee. That meeting caused many far-reaching things, including the removal of Marshal Zhukov. However, Selov had handled that matter long ago, and Marshal Zhukov was also very peaceful when he left.
"Does the General Secretary want us to shut up and exchange treatment for support from some frustrated people?" Molotov asked with a plain face, "Is our opinions so important?" Molotov was the second-ranked Soviet Union and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. If the steel leader Stalin has any supporters, people often think of Molotov.
"Why not? The confrontation with the United States has reached a new stage. We have bridged some things and gathered the greatest power of the Soviet Union as much as possible. Comrade Molotov, how do you view the Great Purge?" Among several Khrushchev's political enemies, Selov still paid more attention to Molotov's opinions. For a long time, Molotov had a status of less than one person in the Soviet Union, and his status was much stronger than Malenkov.
When Molotov heard Selov's words, he seemed to be trapped in the memory of the decision. He spent a long time in this state, and said in a very plain tone, "When Lenin was alive, there were so many disagreements and all kinds of opposition... Someone had to let go of his hands and feet to suppress it. So Stalin actually took on this problem and solved it. I thought Stalin was basically right in handling it. We fully supported him, I am one of the main supporters, and I still don't regret it."
Papa! Serov clapped his hands and commented with appreciation, "When enemies are everywhere, a fragile emerging socialist country needs some strict means to ensure the interests of most people. As for a small number of people, perhaps there are indeed unfair people among them. However, seeing today's Soviet Union, the movement was generally successful. With this foundation, the Soviet Union can withstand countless enemies, Comrade Motolov, what if you are also under the purge?"
"What then? Oh God! I look at it all from a revolutionary point of view," Molotov replied calmly, "I have survived more than once over the years, both before and after the revolution."
"We want to eliminate rich peasants, quickly collectivize, and let farmers obey the leadership of the country and control intellectuals. These are all necessary and there is no kindness." Molotov's words even made Malenkov and Kaganovich look at each other.
"It is consistent with the things that the anti-counter-counter-compulsory workers eavesdropped from your home, and it is very real news." Eavesdropping on these Khrushchev's political enemies was arranged by Selov at the time and has been going on to this day. However, one time and another, he is now the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the problem needs to be escalated.
In front of these people, Selov issued a resolution on the restoration of the party membership and all honors by Comrade Malenkov, Comrade Molotov, Comrade Kagannovic, Comrade Selov, and wrote his own name, Selov said, "At the opening of the International Democratic Games, I hope that several old comrades can attend with me."
Restoring the reputation of these people is only the first step. The person who Selov really wants to restore the reputation is Belia. It is very simple. There is no mistake in principle in the matter of purge, so Belia is at least not guilty in this matter.
Of course, there is a reason for Selov to do this. Many people know that he worked in the Caucasus, very close to where Beria worked, and served as the chairman of the KGB for a long time. In fact, his work is no different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Beria period. Moreover, he was helped by many remnants of Beria.
In the eyes of many people, today's General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is a successful Beria. Didn't Selov still serve as the chairman of the National Security Council? This image cannot be erased, so I can only do another thing, repair the image of Beria and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and make his image better from the side.
As for the reasons and consequences of the Great Purge, Selov never doubted this. It was correct from beginning to end. Although it was cruel, it guaranteed the basis for the Soviet Union to reach its present. Otherwise, the Soviet Union would face the Third Reich, which would be another imperial Russian facing the Second Reich, and the outcome could be imagined.
"Have Minister Belia's family settled?" After seeing off these old men's political enemies, Selov turned to ask this question. This matter has to be taken slowly. Belia and these people are different after all.
"We're settled, we're also grateful." Little Valia looked up and replied. As the new general secretary, Selov of course also formed his own General Office, but are those from the General Office? The KGB vice-chairmen and the Minister of the Internal Affairs actually divided the Rubiy Yangka and placed them in the Kremlin.
Restoring Stalin and Beria's image was caused by another incident, which was also something that the General Secretary must have done frequently in a few years, to attend the funeral! At the Moscow Central Hospital, he came here on behalf of the Party and the country, and gave care to the Supreme Soviet Chairman and the Central Secretary Chernenko, the General Secretary, who was caring for, was completing this necessary work.
As June entered, Chernenko's health suddenly deteriorated. It is estimated that the opening ceremony of this International Democratic Games cannot be participated. If Chernenko was willing to persist, Selov would not object. Because this would only advance the day when Selov served as the President of the Supreme Soviet.
"The final winner is you, General Secretary Selov." Chernenko, who was lying on the hospital bed, was a little weak, but he still smiled. He knew that Andropov's fate had begun to come to him. Maybe he could still live in modern medical conditions for a year or two, but there was no more about the overall situation.
"Chairman Chernenko, why can't I let go?" Selov, who had a plain face, was still using Damascus steel knife to cut flat fruits. He has seen many occasions such as Khrushchev, Suslov, and many leaders have eaten his apples. Maybe in another year or two, Marshal Ustinov will also receive this treatment.
Seeing these big men passing away one by one, Selov also had such a little bit of trouble in his heart. Everyone had such a day, but he didn't know when that day would come and what would it feel when it really came.
Of course, Chernenko was dissatisfied, but it was not now. With his current physical condition, he also understood that it was inappropriate to be the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but he still felt a little regretful, which Selov could understand.
"Of course we will go to Red Square sooner or later, of course it is not certain when we enter. You just got a while ago." Selov's words guaranteed from the side that once Chernenko passed away, he would settle Chernenko in Red Square as the treatment of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union according to Suslov's precedent.
This is no big deal, but it is already a huge honor for Chernenko. I expressed my gratitude to Chernenko. Since the Communist Youth League was hit by the Dnepro gang, Selov's move has maintained the greatest restraint.
If according to his thoughts as the spy director, these former enemies either entered Gulag or were shot directly. But Selov also grew up with this country and began to wipe the butts of the general secretary of all generations, and even began to slapp their political enemies in the same era. Maybe one day, when the world revolution situation is good, if he is still there, he still needs to give Trotsky a high evaluation, saying that Stalin and Trotsky only have different views, Trotsky's death is an imperialist conspiracy, etc.
"Let Bulgaria play the black five-ring flag to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics!" Bulgaria is the only country in Eastern European countries that is allowed to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics. There are two people in the entire team, one flag bearer and one athlete.
At 3:00 p.m. on July 28, Moscow time, Selov took a bus from the Kremlin to the stadium. According to international time, Moscow time was eleven hours faster than Los Angeles time, so the International Democratic Games will be opened first before the Los Angeles Olympics.
