Chapter 922 Dad is back
"Then, vote is passed!" Selov announced the resolution without changing his expression. Then he asked Ligachev to make a document and left the conference room, "Reagan, now we can have fun."
Never had a Soviet leadership that would allow police-born cadres to occupy so many seats. Selov brought four police cadres, Bobkov, Chebrickov, Fedorchuk and Tsvigon, to become official members of the Central Presidium. It was also a deterrent to local cadres. At least in the short term, the Soviet Union needed these ruthless police cadres to use tough means to resist the increasing pressure from Reagan.
If the Soviet Central Presidium continues to expand in the future, Serov will consider Nazarbayev. It seems that he is much more reliable than Rezhkov, but at this stage, the cadres he is optimistic about are not qualified to enter the Soviet Central Presidium. Many of the more famous Russian giants in later generations are now ordinary people, and they are even less likely to be expected.
"In the Propaganda Department, we still advocate the rejuvenation of cadres. I think there is no problem as the Minister of the Propaganda Department. This appointment is still issued by Comrade Ligachev." Because he was just pretending, the General Secretary left only one back for everyone, and forgot another less important appointment for a while. He could only let Little Valia secretly tell the second secretary Ligachev.
Little Valia looked like this, pursed her smile and went to Ligachev to convey the General Secretary's meaning. Starting today, rumors about the General Secretary's memory decline began to spread in the Kremlin.
Many people really believe it, and many people also took out previous rumor evidence to realize the rumors. When it was spread to the initiator, the General Secretary himself, Selov had to say, "Watching the fun is not a distinction between nationality!"
"Someone hopes that I will meet Lenin earlier. This is impossible. I am better than them." Selov did not think that these people could deal with him with longevity. Maybe he would hold a state funeral to send off the current group of people in the end.
The good health is not believed by others, but Little Valia, who caters to the old man, absolutely believes it, and comes from her current personal experience...
In the end, Little Valia sang loudly as if she was hit by a bullet, and fell asleep in the old man's arms, cleaning up, etc., I can talk about it tomorrow! The sticky feeling below is not unbearable.
"Comrade Hocha will be immortal!" Shelov wanted to laugh, but he held it in his arms, but he still couldn't. In the end, he let out a depressing laughter in his office. The last leader who had the qualifications to challenge the Soviet Union in Europe finally said goodbye, just after Chernenko's death.
Small countries like Albania, if they want to use their national strength to challenge the Soviet Union, it is definitely a dream. But in a specific historical time, these small countries can use the influence of their leaders to cause trouble to the Soviet Union. This is like this in China and Yugoslavia. Even the weak Albania can cause trouble to the Soviet Union, which is not small.
Europe believes that the Soviet Union is too revolutionary, and Albania believes that the Soviet Union is too unrevolutionary. Just like China before seventy years ago, what should we do? The Soviet Union is also very desperate. What should we do to satisfy everyone?
There is a characteristic in the international communist movement. Generally speaking, countries with strong religious colors before the rule of ** had a more serious ideological cleanliness, and on the contrary, they were more likely to move towards pragmatism. Albania is almost a typical example.
As the first socialist country to be firmly established in the world of peace religion, Hoscha had higher requirements for theoretical purity than Sino-Soviet, and could not tolerate the betrayal of the ** movement by the Soviet Union first and then China. Its core view is to oppose any form of nationalism, emphasizing the class interests of the proletariat that Marx and Engels repeatedly emphasized, the proletariat's non-national class interests. Once Hoschaism was proposed, it immediately attracted many Catholic and Peace religion worlds with strong religious colors.
It is such a small country that even its own operation is a problem, and it has set off a wave of the Hokha faction internationally. In some places, the Hokha faction has a greater momentum than that of the Soviet Union and China. Among the revolutionary forces in Latin America, the influence of the Hokha faction has long surpassed the influence of China and the Soviet Union.
There are many believers of the Hoscha faction in the Nicaraguan government supported by the Soviet Union. In the Middle East, because Iran and Iraq were originally all peace religion areas, the influence of the Hoscha faction is not low at all, but Selov pinched his nose and pretended that he didn't see it.
After the 1970s, Albania had replaced China and became the biggest challenger of the Soviet Union in the field of thought. This was stronger than the third route of Europe's silent remarks. Europe was transforming itself silently, far from the public challenge of the Hoscha faction.
"Comrade Chebrikov, let Comrade Baluku come and we can talk!" Selov picked up the phone and smiled as an anti-counterfeiter on the corner of his mouth. This time Selov wanted to tell some people that when his father came back, it was not only the United States who could use this trick, but he was also very skillful in using this trick.
Baluku Military Group, this is the crime that Hocha convicted of the leadership of the Albanian People's Army in 1975. But these people were asked by Selov, but they have been kept for later use. Now, this time has finally come...
"Hocha has passed away, Comrade Baluku, I think it's time to get your motherland back on track." Selov looked at Baluku, the general of the Albanian People's Army, who was covered in white hair, and the other party had been in the Soviet Union for almost ten years. If Hocha lived for ten or eight years, Baluku might die in front of the other party.
"General Secretary Selov, you have been waiting for this day, right?" General Baluku sighed. There are many leaders in the international situation who can be said to be visionary, but like the other party, they often spend more than ten or twenty years on the layout. Over the years, Baluku has only seen one of Selov. How many decades does a person have in his life?
"I can't say what you think is wrong!" Selov smiled. He never thought it was very easy to defeat the United States. It was nothing if he spent ten years to lay down landmines that could be used in the future.
Compared with history, Albania also has factors that are beneficial to the Soviet Union. For example, when the Soviet Union and Albania reconciled, Albania was guided by the Soviet Union to the route of a military power, in exchange for Soviet aid.
In Albania, which focuses on military affairs, the army has become the top priority of the entire country, not to mention that it can be used to exchange for Soviet aid and consolidate its own status. If a group of former senior officers of Albania are not in the hands of Selov, there is actually no problem, but the problem is that these people are indeed in the hands of Selov, this is the problem.
Since the largest group in Albania is the Albanian People's Army, can a group of former senior officers of the People's Army in Moscow have a role? Selov asked General Chebrikov to bring it to him, and a list of Albanian People's Army officers is a little sincerity to help General Baluku.
After receiving Soviet aid, the number of infantry brigades of the Albanian Army increased from eight to eighteen, and at the same time, equipped with a batch of Soviet weapons. Before the expansion, these infantry brigades were less mechanized, mainly relying on reserve forces. After reduction, the personnel were enriched and the level of mechanization was improved. Each infantry brigade consisted of a scattered infantry battalion, an artillery battalion plus a direct team. The armored troops had three tank brigades, equipped with the Type 59 and the Soviet T54 tanks of the Soviet Union. The artillery troops were increased from one regiment to three regiments. Before going far from China, Albania successively received 11,000 artillery pieces of various caliber, which was very considerable in number, but basically small caliber artillery and mortars.
"Pick a company of soldiers of the inner guard who understands the Albanian language and follow you to visit Albania!" Shelov asked with his hands crossed and put them on his stomach, "Comrade Chebrikov, what do you think is the success rate?"
Selov wanted Chebrikov to try to seize Albania's leadership during his visit, and sent a group of former military leaders back to solve the last disobedient socialist country in Europe.
In fact, it is even more important to invite the new Albanian leader to Moscow, but during the death of Hocha, the other party may not agree. General Chebrikov was silent and said, "General Secretary, in terms of success rate, you have the largest success rate in your own success rate. Even if you fail, Albania will never dare to do anything randomly?"
"You are right. We need a heavyweight. You can't go to it yourself! It's not that I'm afraid of risks, but that I personally take action. Whether it's success or failure, it will damage the reputation of the Soviet Union." The General Secretary was not afraid, just as General Chebrikov said, Albania dared not do anything to him.
Hocha really made the Albanian Workers' Party a monolith? For Eastern European countries, public opinion is indeed important, but what is more important is whether the Soviet Union can completely break up. As long as you can be willing to do so, these countries will not be a problem.
The final decision was made by the Second Secretary of the Soviet Union, General Chebrikov, and General Chebrikov, a member of the Central Presidium, on behalf of the funeral of Soviet Chairman Hocha. In order to provide sufficient cover, Selov asked other Eastern European countries to respect Albania and send more important cadres to attend Hocha's funeral, and use a huge lineup to distract Albania's attention.
