Chapter 908 Central Plenary Session
Because of Reagan's private words, the Soviet armed forces entered a state of alert, but this process lasted less than two hours. When he returned to the Kremlin, the General Secretary ordered the release of the alert. The fastest update
NATO, who was very nervous about the Warsaw Pact, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The storm about this joke has just begun. As the president of a country, Reagan's words can be news, not to mention that this sentence affects more than just one country.
When Reagan's words were discussed fiercely, people also wanted to know the Kremlin's reaction, with fear and expectation, and everyone wanted to know how the owner of the Kremlin would respond.
As the end of the year approaches, in the annual storm of Time magazine, Soviet General Secretary Serov and US President Reagan were far ahead. The two were back to back, and half of their backgrounds were the American Stars and Stripes and the iconic flag of the Soviet Union. This was originally a poster of American conservative propaganda, but it became the iconic poster with the greatest influence at the end of the year, and entered the annual storm of Time magazine.
Reagan is the strong president of the United States that has been missing for a long time since the Vietnam War. After Kennedy's last tough diplomacy against the Soviet Union, the United States has not felt the world's number one position for almost twenty years. Most of the time, he is trapped in the misery of the Vietnam War and his economy is dragged down and stagnant. Reagan's coming to power rebuilds the confidence of the Americans. During his first term, he proposed an economic revival plan, which will enable the US economy to develop healthily and win the continuous economic growth momentum.
Although the Soviet Union died in succession, two general secretarys were the notorious leader of the Soviet hardliner in Europe and the United States, Selov, who was a police cadre, finally gained the highest power of the Soviet Union and came to power to vigorously promote anti-slacking and anti-privileged movements. Strengthen the planned economic system, and faced the fierce Reagan, he called for an international democratic game to fight the United States.
The Soviet Union's planned economic system was once again strengthened, and computer networks were first proposed to be used in economic development. The construction of a comprehensive social monitoring system was completed. In contrast to the United States, the new Soviet Union General Secretary tried his best to strengthen the Soviet government agencies, and after two years, the Soviet Union's economic growth rate once again reached more than 10%. The anti-slack movement and anti-privileged movement, as well as the strengthening plan for the planned economic system, began to be promoted to Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union.
Two values represent completely opposite ideas, because the mutual confrontation between Serov and Reagan, the Soviet Union and the United States touched a fierce spark. Of course, the two have something in common, that is, they choose to strengthen their arms, engage in a wider arms race to defeat their opponents, and pursue the opponents within their sphere of influence.
This kind of confrontation between actors and spies made people feel excited and fearful. Reagan, who changed his policy of avoiding the Soviet Union, chose to lead the United States to fight back again. He was greeted by the Soviet Union's general secretary, Shelov, who was shrouded in mystery and was born in the KGB.
Unfortunately, for a whole day, neither Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko, nor the General Office of the Soviet Central Committee, nor even Ruby Yangka did not respond to Reagan's remarks on attacking the Soviet Union, as if he had never known this. Of course, this was impossible, and everyone believed that Serov would never be regarded as not seeing it.
"Why should I respond to a patient with Alzheimer's disease? He wants to fire a nuclear bomb? Ask those American consortiums agree? Do you think it's a Cuban missile crisis now? The nuclear advantage lies with us." Selov yawned and waved, "Everyone gets off work early, the Central Plenary Session will begin soon."
Ligachev nodded. He really needed to prepare for his speech at the Central Plenary Session, and other members also got off work. In the Great Kremlin, only the old hooligans who love gender men and women are left...
Selov had a problem. Regarding the method of changing cadres, Stalin's method is whoever fails to complete the task is **** Khrushchev's method is a little softer and he directly let him get out. After Stalin's death, all his assistants except Molotov were completely betrayed. Needless to say, Khrushchev was not the case. He was not the leader of the KGB and had been overthrown by his subordinates.
The only stable thing is the Brezhnev era, but everyone can see the result of this stable. If it is really better than the losses, it may have a greater negative impact than the previous two general secretary.
If Selov learns from Stalin, the future general secretary is learning from him. Generations of general secretary rely on the layout of his predecessors to stabilize the country. There are always times when he gets rid of it. Every leader is an iron leader from time to time. Selov has a lot of children, and he cannot do this from the fate of Stalin's son. He is not Jihonov...
Khrushchev's method of retiring quickly seems fair, but it must be explained that the problem of Soviet pension. The Soviet Union stipulates that a retired person's pension is only half of his working period. Serov wants to say that this is completely logical and mathematically, it is completely fine.
The contribution a person makes to society when he is in his prime is completely different from that when he is old. Half of his pension after retirement is not only inhumane, but is more sustainable than the over-inflated welfare of later Europe.
But the cadre class was not satisfied, so Khrushchev's fate was not good. This problem must be solved. If Selov used the KGB to force these cadres to accept the current conditions, it would be OK. The validity period would last until the day he died. This was just a delay of the problem. No one knew what the later General Secretary could solve the problem.
"It seems that I need to make some compromises. Gulag alone cannot solve this problem." Forced these cadres to be obedient, and after he dies, he cannot guarantee that the next general secretary can make the next group of cadres obedient. What is the exchange condition? This is a question!
Selov knew that what the current Soviet cadres wanted was not much different from what ordinary people wanted. A house, a car, and some countries' care. No problem, they could give them all. Fortunately, the overall environment of the Soviet Union was relatively closed, and these cadres had never seen the world. They seemed to want a lot. In fact, in Selov's eyes, this did not count. Even if all the cadres on the Soviet Union were replaced, they would only have 10,000 apartments, 10,000 cars and some medical expenses, it would not count for a country...
However, the General Secretary will never establish a department like the Advisory Committee, and he will retire cleanly. He is not prepared to reform the pension, half of which is very good and will not put too much pressure on his descendants.
This is a privilege to give full pension to the cadre class. If the whole pension is given to the whole country, the biggest expense of the Soviet Union would not be military expenditures. Like Europe in later generations, it would continue to lay off military expenditures and throw money into welfare. It would rather be dragged to death by the arms race than by welfare expenditures. If the former collapses, there are weapons that can scare people, while the latter collapses, and the country is not much different from refugee camps.
"The General Secretary takes care of you like this, why don't you kneel down and follow me to defeat the United States?" Selov sneered at himself. His current thinking is completely different from when he was a spy director. However, 10,000 apartments and 10,000 cars are not much, is there 10,000 rubles in total? It's still very cost-effective to calculate it. In addition, the online reporting platform established by the KGB.
A cotton case cheated the Soviet central government's spending billions of rubles, and a few fewer cotton cases were missing. The money was back long ago.
The cell phone on the table forced the General Secretary to temporarily stop thinking and answer with the phone, "You can't come here, I'm finished taking a shower!" Little Valia's slightly dissatisfied voice came from the phone...
Well! Although there is no one around, the guilty General Secretary cannot stop him from looking around, clearing his throat and saying righteously, "Okay, I'll go there in a while!"
"It's swollen, it's swollen! I won't take the initiative to look for you in the future, wait for you to come here by yourself." Little Valia begged with a smile on her lips.
"If you are disobedient, I will make your stomach bigger." Shelov threatened with gritting his teeth. Little Valia was stunned and even forgot to scream. Mengmeng said, "It seems that you have really done this. You will be affected even more, right? Old hooligan..."
It's right! The next morning, Selov put on a hat and gave the overworked secretary two days off to the auditorium to attend the upcoming plenary session. The auditorium was surrounded by reporters from Warsaw Pact countries.
"General Secretary Selov, how do you plan to respond to Reagan's declaration of war?" A reporter from the Central Government of Democratic Germany squeezed over and asked what the Soviet Union thought about Reagan's claim to attack the Soviet Union.
The General Secretary, surrounded by reporters, pondered for a moment, reached out to signal quiet, and waited for the scene to calm down before slowly saying, "A third-rate actor and Alzheimer's patient's remarks do not need to be too much concerned. Of course, I understand the emergence of such a person. No one should overestimate the basic knowledge level of ordinary Americans. Many Reagan's supporters do not know where the Soviet Union is. Stupid people support stupid presidents."
"Please remember what I'm going to say next!" Selov waved kindly and let all the cameras aim at him, and said word by word, "Reagan, listen, your Alzheimer's disease that affects your thinking should be treated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!"
Then the security personnel around the General Secretary separated the crowd and let Selov step into the Kremlin Hall. For the first time, he said in front of the whole world that there was a problem with Reagan's head. If Reagan could not kill the Soviet Union in the future, and then he found out that there was an Alzheimer's attack? What would the Americans react? Leave a name in American history? Yes, leave the reputation of Go Map...
Will Reagan commit suicide in order to prove that what Serov guessed is wrong? This is the real question to be considered. It is also a thing to be happy to force Reagan to death, but will such a person commit suicide? Serov doesn't believe it...
