"Trotskyists?" Among the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, at the same time, three different voices sounded. Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Suslov spoke in unison, Khrushchev's voice was simply surprised, and Brezhnev's and Suslov's voices contained something else.

Trotsky's followers were a term that could not be mentioned in the USSR for a long time. At the beginning, the Trotskyists had no way to go down to the ground for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and many people fell into the Trotskyist hat. Khrushchev had no position on the Trotskyists, because at the time of his reign there were no Trotskyists in the Soviet Union, except for a very small number of the Gulags. These men were eventually released, and Serov was in charge of the KGB, knowing of course that there was no such thing as a Trotskyist force in the Soviet Union. I may have read Trotsky's writings with my puppet, but I only looked at them privately.

On the contrary, because of Khrushchev's conciliatory attitude, the Soviet Union did not regard the Trotskyists as enemies ideologically. Rather, it was regarded as a foreign ideological trend, but for Brezhnev, the meaning was different, he did not like this idea of being driven out of the Soviet Union, if he just did not like it, Suslov spoke almost with obvious disgust.

Fortunately, Khrushchev retired in the second half of the year, otherwise Brezhnev and Suslov would probably have stood idly by and watched as if they had not seen the situation in France once they knew that the greatest force in the May storm was the Trotskyists. It is also true that the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the May Storm in history was simply silently excessive, as if it were completely unaware that it had happened.

On the one hand, there were the Trotskyists, whom Brezhnev and Suslov were most hostile to, as well as China, which was opposed to the Soviet Union, and the anarchists, so the French Communist Party, which had always maintained close communication with the Soviet Union, did not stand in the foreground during the May storm, although it did not completely fail to see it as the Soviet Union, but it also did not show the attitude of a strong Communist Party.

"It's a big collection of Trotskyist ideas, and we can see traces of all kinds of ideas in the speeches of the students, anarchism, Trotskyism, and of course the Chinese ones. But the ideas of the Trotskyists should be very important in this. It can be understood that all revolutionary ideas are in it. "Serov distributed the telegrams to these members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, because the incident happened suddenly, and the KGB could not figure out the truth of the matter, but the fuse of the May storm was more like an accident." We don't see any forces pushing behind it, it's more like a spontaneous action. This was a general eruption of deep social contradictions, which we can understand as a spontaneous revolution by the French. ”

"It can't be instigated by your KGB, right?" Brezhnev took the information handed over by Serov and asked with a smile, "I don't believe others, but if you say that you planned it, I will choose to believe it." ”

"Comrade Second Secretary, I would like to see it so, but I must say that this is beyond the capabilities of the KGB." Serov shook his head slightly with a look of regret, as if it was a pity that this incident was not planned by him. This reaction pleased the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, who, having read it, began to whisper about the revolutionary wave that had emerged in France.

From the information about France, they already have a general idea of the current state of society in France, 1. The birth rate has skyrocketed, and the number of university students has increased sharply; 2. College students are dissatisfied with university education and old teaching methods; 3. The gap between the two generations has deepened; 4. The melancholy of endless progress in material consumption; 5. The economy has developed, but the culture is still the same, and the gap between them is explosive. France is the second-lowest paid country in the European Common Market (EMU) with the lowest wages and the longest working hours. And for French university students, their conditions are not much better. In order to meet the needs of economic development, the number of college students has grown from 200,000 eight years ago to 600,000 this year, but the corresponding school buildings and faculty allocation have not kept up with this development speed. Many colleges and universities are overcrowded, with three out of five college students unable to graduate.

"There is one more fact, which I would like comrades to pay attention to, and that is the Algerian factor. First of all, we know that the government formed by General de Gaulle is one of the few powerful governments in the Western world, or rather strong governments. The power of the presidency was the greatest in Western Europe, and during the most intense years of the Algerian war, on the one hand, there were frequent terrorist incidents on Algerian soil, and on the other, the air in Paris was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Seven years ago, the Algerian National Liberation Front (FNI) challenged the government's curfew and staged a massive march in Paris. The brutal repression of the Paris police under Papon's command. The number of people who died that night remains a mystery, with witnesses claiming to see large numbers of Algerian bodies floating on the Seine. ”

Serov introduced some basic information, and finally said what he wanted to say, "After the end of the war, de Gaulle gave Algerians the treatment of French citizens, but 12 million Algerians have a strong pro-Soviet ideology, which is related to the fact that we provided weapons and Poland sent a military advisory group to help Algeria become independent. ”

"In any European country, even our KGB, there is no police dispatch as often as in France, which is related to the powerful government of Charles de Gaulle, after the war, he deeply felt that France is underpopulated, so he vigorously grasped the fertility rate, which caused the rapid expansion of the French student population, and at the same time, because he reformed the political structure of France, France became one of the few countries in Western Europe with strong government authority!" With all this narrated to the side, Serov waited aside, waiting for this decision to be made.

"But de Gaulle was not an easy man to deal with, and we don't need to say it ourselves, but the reaction of the Americans to this big man is known." Brezhnev rubbed his eyes tiredly, looked at Serov meaningfully and said, "Yuri, I believe that there is no one in this world who has taken advantage of the security situation more successfully than you. But as you said, the French police system is very strong, and Charles de Gaulle is also a very prestigious leader. You want us to recognize your intervention in the wave of protests in France, right? ”

Brezhnev pointed out Serov's desire to interfere in France's heart, and then said slowly, "I believe that the KGB is powerful, you are the best security cadre, excellent department plus excellent leader, there seems to be no problem." But you have to know who our opponent is, as long as de Gaulle is in France, the success rate of this matter is pitiful......"

For Brezhnev, it was enough to uphold justice and solidarity with the revolutionary demands of the French students. He only cared about something practical, what the USSR would gain by shooting and what the USSR would lose if it was repulsed. Everything else is, he is not Khrushchev next to him, he really took his own country's things out to do favors for the sake of communism.

If it was beneficial to the environment of the USSR as a whole, then there was nothing to support, who did not want to see the leading country grow stronger. But if the risk is too high, he will not take the risk, what is the use of talking about doctrine, it is better to talk about reality.

Serov could understand what Brezhnev meant, and it was useless to talk to Brezhnev with words like justice and revolution, but he would also use this kind of communication, and said slowly, "According to the report of the KGB Adviser in Romania, de Gaulle will visit Romania after May 15, that is, De Gaulle will not be in Paris at that time." ”

"Is the news true?" Xie Lepin stood up suddenly, and asked with a flash of joy on his face.

"We have confirmed the news with Ceausescu, it is absolutely true." Serov's head was slightly raised, and his face returned to a cold look, "It is certain that de Gaulle will visit Romania for more than a week......"

"Did de Gaulle really dare to come out at this time?" Kosygin muttered to himself, and then said, "I wonder if he is really confident in his prestige, or if he already thinks that he can control everything?" ”

"Call Comrade Andropov, Secretary of the Central Committee, Comrade Gretchko, Minister of Defense, and Comrade Gromyko, Minister of Foreign Affairs." Khrushchev picked up the phone and gave the order, "Now comrades are free to discuss." ”

Now that all assumptions have been overturned, if for a week de Gaulle was not in France at this crucial point, it would have been a try. The Presidium of the Central Committee was divided into two factions, and Khrushchev watched the discussion between the two factions on whether or not to make a move, and a similar discussion resounded to him fourteen years ago, when it seemed that he had also vigorously stated his opinion at the meeting.

At that time, the Italian Communist Party had just come to power, and he and Malenkov, Molotov, Bulganin, and Mikoyan had a heated argument at the meeting, discussing whether the Soviet Union would have a showdown with the United States if the US military interfered in the election and suppressed the Italian Communist Party.

It's just that at that time, because everyone was in the same position, and they were in the critical period of competing for the right to speak, no one dared to put forward the idea of taking a step back, otherwise they might be regarded as a scapegoat to clear out the center of power because they did not support the Italian Communist Party.

And now everyone is gone, except for himself and Mikoyan, and the object of discussion has been changed to another European country, but the intensity of the debate is about the same as it was then, right? They are about to retire, and these people are future leaders of their own choosing, and they may not want to show cowardice in front of themselves who are about to retire in the same way as they were at that time.

As in fourteen years ago, the same person who brought this problem was Serov. At that time he was the ambassador of Italy, a colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a modest status, and now he is a Soviet general, General Political Commissar of State Security, Chairman of the National Security Council, Commissar of National Defense.
