MTL - Big Time 1958-v2 Chapter 1034 five year Plan
"I didn't expect that just after you were free, you seemed to have lost your spirit. It's really unaccustomed to see you like this. If I knew it earlier, I would find something for you to do..." Moscow Central General Hospital, sitting in front of the bed Serov was carefully peeling the apple, and the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko was lying on the hospital bed. According to history, Gromyko has lived a long time.
"People always have such a day. I have been luckier than many people, and I have seen this kind of change that is beneficial to us!" Gromyko smiled with relief, and some dim eyes stared straight at the ceiling and smiled leisurely , "What is our lifelong struggle for? A person with ideals, isn't he accomplishing one goal after another in his life?"
"That's right, even a mediocre person is still accomplishing his goals, but it's just big or small." Shelov handed the cut apple to the other party with some empathy. If he was still in the Northeast, the goal he accomplished was nothing more than ordinary people. Those who are after, the garage wife. Of course, if you are unlucky, you may be begging for food. Who can tell the fate of this thing clearly.
Gromyko said very freely, "Whether I can rest this time or not, I have no regrets. Of course, you are luckier than me. I have seen changes that are beneficial to us. You may be able to witness that it belongs to the workers. The class order has been established, and now you have no rivals in the world."
"There is no visible opponent, the real opponent of our Soviet Union is invisible, we all know where the real opponent is, thinking! Why is Comrade Suslov called the second secretary? We all know one thing, The only thing that can really deal a fatal blow to us is the inside!" Shelov laughed and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about ordinary people, we have not made ourselves flawless, Comrade Suslov, there is only one."
"Actually, I have a question. Are you not afraid that after you retire or die of illness, there will be conflicts between the security department and administrative cadres? You have been strengthening the authority of the security system from the 1960s to the present. The entire Soviet Union has not been the leader of the same department for such a long time. Yes, the security system is too strong, is it a good thing or a bad thing for us?" Gromyko asked the question that had troubled him for a long time, a question he desperately wanted to know, or a wish.
"I'm always afraid that our top leader will become a person with a weak will, and you know, our general secretary has more power than the president of the United States, so we must establish a strong, integrated police, intelligence, military force, monitoring The powerful department of the department makes the general secretary have to think about the consequences of being a traitor, and I don’t know if he succeeds or not.” Sheloff, who was impassioned at the beginning, was instantly discouraged, but the conversation changed and he said, “After thinking about it, I think As long as the general secretary wants to dismantle such a department, it can be done with some time. So sharing some of the rights with other members of the Central Presidium is another way.”
"The top leader became a traitor?" Gromyko thought about it, thinking that this was just an excuse for Serov to seize power. How could a general secretary become a traitor? What reason does he have for doing this, idiot?
A map header in Stavropol Krai, who was revising a government report, sneezed several times in a row.
Serov didn't know that he had become a benchmark for seizing power in Gromiko's thinking, but knowing that he couldn't do anything to this old man. He was so old, and Gromiko no longer cared about any personal interests. We're almost at the end.
Just after the Russian New Year in 1990, a large page of the Komsomolskaya Pravda published news that Foreign Minister Gromyko had passed away, and party and state leaders such as Serov, Tikhonov, and Ligachev expressed their grief. condolences.
"After one year, I will formally establish the term of office of the members of the Central Presidium and write it into the Constitution. The term of office of the General Secretary and the members of the Central Presidium is six years, and can be re-elected for one term, which is equivalent to three terms of the President of the United States. The Congress will officially announce that each time the five-year plan is implemented in the future, one year will be used as an adjustment period in the sixth year. The five-plus-one model will be used to ensure the smooth progress of the five-year plan, and the external name will remain unchanged.” Shelov With one hand on his cheek, he said to himself, "Some plans cannot be completed within ten years. Too short a term is very unfavorable for the development of long-term plans, and the current development of the Soviet Union has reached a certain stage, with five With the continuous advancement of the annual plan, there will eventually be a time when we cannot complete the plan, and we should set aside a year to find problems and focus on supplements, which can be considered.”
"I personally agree with the general secretary's opinion. We must take into account that in the ninth five-year plan, some areas of our country cannot complete the tasks assigned by the central government!" Ligachev was talking about the situation in the late 1970s, when the Soviet Union The target of the five-year plan dropped sharply, but because of the aggressive attack of the Soviet Union in the world, it supplemented the domestic problems at that time. Once the foreign attack is unfavorable and it is impossible to deny the domestic one, this kind of problem will be exposed.
The significance of the five-year plan to the Soviet Union is very important. This year is also the last year of the 12th Five-Year Plan. The tasks of the 13th Five-Year Plan have already begun to be formulated. Of course, Serov must join the discussion. In the last year of the five-year plan, I did not see any information about this five-year plan. Not even the national development plan and the budget for 1991 were submitted to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union for discussion and the formulation of the thirteenth five-year plan. was also delayed. What all this proves is not the failure of the reform, but the fact that the reform has completely destroyed the political structure of the Soviet Union.
"We need to rapidly promote the nationwide coverage of computers. This is already in the five-year plan. Blind expansion of production is no longer suitable for our motherland. Today's world is completely different from the bad situation faced by the Soviet Union 40 years ago. We have to consider the issue of production costs. Oil in the Middle East is lower than ours, which means that the cost is low. The rare metals in Congo and the copper mines in Chile are more concentrated, which means they are more concentrated. The pace of foreign cooperative enterprises should also be accelerated. Shelov thought for a while and said, "For the consideration of confrontation, we have always taken the initiative to export revolution. With the improvement of the external environment, we no longer need to do so. Mediation of the problems existing in our motherland is more important than other problems. "
"In our future foreign work, we want to prove the superiority of socialism, but not to take the initiative to prove anything. Our country is getting better and better, and it is itself an example. We have never lacked military strength, and we can appropriately release it in this regard. Slow pace, not to cut military spending or disarmament, but to invest funds in the protection of soldiers and improve the living environment of our Red Army soldiers! In fact, we have a lot of tasks to carefully look at, and we have not considered whether the United States will suddenly Looking back and looking for trouble for us, although this possibility is not very likely." Serov made a thought, and now he really began to learn to be the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, not just the chairman of the Soviet National Security Committee.
"Are we going to make a cut with the Socialist International?" Second Secretary Ligachev asked this question.
"It's a matter of time before we cut them off. The whole of Western Europe is dead, and the most energetic are the pacifists. Maybe we will rescue them after many years!" Serov closed his eyes and thought for a while, "But not now, this matter has to ferment. For a while, it's the same sentence, take care of our own problems."
"Since we played a game in the Middle East and the United States, it seems that the entire Central Presidium has gained a lot of energy." Shelov smiled at the other members, "Comrades, can we now consider our successor? I don't doubt your abilities, but what happened to Comrade Gromyko, I don't want it to happen a second time. Moving on, Ustinov, Chernenko, Kosygin, Andropov, Brezh Nev and many other comrades, all died in office, they are not at work for a day, and they actually owe their families a certain amount."
"In the future, we will start looking for the next generation of cadres. We still have plenty of time to see if they are reliable, but we can start now." Sheloff did not urge this question, nor did he plan to let these old men get out of the way. He gave ample time.
Romanov, Grishin and others did not object either. It was indeed time. They also knew that sooner or later, Serov had given them time to observe for themselves, and they had no reason to object.
In general, this plenary meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium was still spent in a very relaxed state, like a celebration feast. In the evening, Serov invited everyone to his house to be a guest, and he was the most powerful one in the Soviet Union. Only the general secretary has such a big face to get a group of people from the Kremlin to their home.
"I must have a good night's sleep tonight!" After the guests had all said goodbye, Serov, who walked to the kitchen and hugged Valya from the back, squinted his eyes and whispered in his wife's ear.
"We won a decisive victory, do you feel relaxed?" Valiya felt the smell of alcohol coming from her ears, and sniffled helplessly, "Your alcohol intake is very poor, it seems that you are really relaxed."
"I'm finally worthy of my oath under the red flag. I'm happy to think about it. You don't know how many lives and ideals I've saved. Now I think about it and feel great." "Too many people, more people than killed because I was a spy. According to the standards of the Orthodox Church, I should be canonized."
"Yeah, that's right!" Varya showed the sturdyness of a Soviet woman, and helped her husband go upstairs, and fell asleep after some tossing.
