Chapter 272: Whitewashing
"No, it's a very pioneering idea!" Korolev thought about Serov's profession, could it be that what news had happened to the head of the secret service in front of him? I'm not sure I'm here, but it's very likely.
This old man thinks a little too much, does the KGB have such great powers in the eyes of others? Well, even if there is. There are still a lot of things for Serov this year, it should be said, there are a lot of things every year. According to the current state of development, it is not known how long Serov will have time to find an opportunity to use the vacation he has already accumulated.
It was less than twenty meters away from the so-called Big Ivan nuclear bomb in a straight line, and after thinking about it for a long time, Serov made a surprising move, slowly walked to the side of the Big Ivan nuclear bomb, and asked the people who followed him to take pictures of themselves with cameras. This is a group photo, in which there are two protagonists, Serov in a thick chemical protection suit, and this bomb that is about to be tested.
There are at least three months left before the nuclear test, and something should be done during this time. The most immediate impact of this test explosion was that in order to ensure that the communication lines would not be affected under the conditions of nuclear war, the Soviet Red Army has always stubbornly insisted on the electronic tube, which is not easy to be interfered with, as the main equipment of the Red Army.
If it's a small fight, it's no problem, the technology in the United States is very advanced, and in order to fear the worst-case scenario that can only happen one day, a production line for electron tubes has always been retained. But the Soviet Union went too far, these old marshals who had experienced the Great Patriotic War always thought that nuclear weapons would definitely be used in the war, well, even if they were right, but the premise must be clear, that is, the Soviet army attacked Europe. There is no such premise. It is not easy to break out in a nuclear war, not to mention that Serov felt that even if he did not decide to fight to the death, the Soviet Union would not necessarily lose in the Cold War.
Serov, who was dressed in a gray military coat, came out of the factory, summoned the local guards to take a closer look at the surrounding guards, and then said, "Be careful with the guards of the factory. Also, don't let any idle people enter, including anyone, even the family members of your unit commanders, and if the news leaks, I will send you to Xindi Island! ”
Chelyabinsk is an industrial city, and the most famous enterprise here is the Ural Tractor Plant, which is harmless to humans and animals by name, but in fact it is one of the five largest tank manufacturing bases in the Soviet Union. The five tank factories of the Tagil Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant, the Kharkov Machine-Building Plant, the Omsk Transport Machine Factory, the Leningrad Kirov Machine-Building Plant and the Ural Tractor Plant in Chelyabinsk directly contributed to the steel flood of the Soviet Red Army.
In the name of national security, Serov entered the Ural Tractor Plant with a group of security cadres for inspection. The main thing is to check the safety preparations, and whether there is any waste, the Soviet Union can be regarded as the first in the world in terms of waste, you will certainly not see this amazing waste in the factories of the capitalists, because they are in pursuit of profits, if the worker dares to move the Soviet set to a private enterprise, waiting for him is not unemployed or deducted wages.
In the process, Serov inspected the second secretary of the factory, who was also a KGB. The rank is not low, it is the rank of lieutenant colonel. The Ural Tractor Plant, one of the five major tank-building bases of the Soviet Union, was undoubtedly the object of attention, and the second secretary of the plant had the right to borrow the forces of the local Main Directorate of Internal Affairs in Chelyabinsk and the State Security Service under the KGB. It was Serov who was sent down specifically after the outbreak of the events in the Ryazan region.
During his rounds, when Serov passed by the corridor of a dormitory building, he saw an open field piled up with all kinds of things that could be called scrap metal, which was almost the same height as the third floor where Serov was standing, and he didn't want to pay attention to this matter. But it's too dazzling.
"The enemies of the Soviet Union are unprecedentedly strong, and as the most important military industrial enterprise of the country, you will hand over such an answer to me?" Serov pointed to the pile of tank parts that had been exposed to the wind and rain in the open air, and said, "I would like to know what went wrong with that pile of parts?" If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you don't have to be the second secretary. Let you come here to give us feedback on the real problems, not let you come down and go along with the ......"
"First Vice Chairman, when I came here, there were already all kinds of parts, it seems that they are all parts that have not met the standards over the years, and they have been piled up there considering the cost, of course, I personally think that many of them will definitely be qualified, but now it is a little late to deal with them!" The second secretary explained in a cold sweat, and at the same time assured that he had not been in this situation since he came to the Ural Tractor Plant.
"Can't we save a little? Which capitalist country have you ever seen dare to do this? This kind of wasteful behavior may only exist in our country! Serov said with an embarrassed face, "We are facing a group of powerful enemies, but we are the only ones who face it, and then some people turn a blind eye to state property?" If I sneak in to check, will I meet a group of workers carrying vodka bottles to work? Well? ”
Serov really wronged the Soviet Union in this regard, and this kind of waste in production is really not unique to the Soviet Union, of course, the problems of the Soviet Union may be the most serious, but other socialist countries also have this kind of problem. As for carrying a bottle of vodka to work, that was the case in the USSR after the eighties, and it is not like this in this era.
"Why hasn't there been a breakthrough in the monitoring equipment of the General Administration of Technology Management?" Serov asked the second secretary of the factory to pay attention to the problem of waste, and began to think about this problem. On such issues, Serov can only pin his hopes on the progress of science and technology, and he will definitely not believe in the so-called enthusiasm and ownership spirit. Even the rules and regulations that have been set down are not credible, and there is no kind of rules and regulations that people cannot break through.
It would be better to have a complete national surveillance system, so that the KGB could know everything about the entire Soviet Union without leaving Moscow, which is why he supported the theories put forward by cybernetics experts. In his previous life, all kinds of software had entered the motherland, and in some specific places in China it was even more convenient than any country in the world, and this is the importance of technology, a set of Internet that dealt with the whole world but was in the hands of the KGB, plus a set of surveillance systems that specifically dealt with the whole Soviet Union, and the progress of science and technology allowed the headquarters in Lubyanka to directly know about some state local affairs and deal with them.
This is actually quite difficult to do, because hardly any police department in any country has so much power to carry out the plan, and such blatant surveillance will not be accepted by others. But Serov still wanted to borrow the KGB, a security, intelligence, and military department to complete this plan, and today's trip to the Ural Tractor Plant once again made this idea stronger, and it was time to put some pressure on the side of the General Directorate of Technology Management, and of course, there was financial support.
The southern foothills of the Ural Mountains have a pleasant climate, and in this season there is the most beautiful side of nature, and Serov, who is very lacking in common sense, does not recognize the local flowers and plants, but this does not delay him from staying here for a few days with an admiring gaze.
In the process, we did not forget to pay our respects at the monument in Chelyabinsk, where there were various monuments throughout the USSR to commemorate the martyrs who died on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War, and it was this great country that stood up at a time when the whole world believed that there was no longer a stop to the advance of the Third Reich on the planet. The same strong-minded people stood up and brought down the rising Third Reich and planted the banner of victory on the Reichstag in Berlin.
In the central square of Chelyabinsk, under the monument to the Great Patriotic War, you can see some people mourning in it, and a few elderly people sit on the benches on the side, looking at the boys and girls in the square comfortably. Many of these people who are elderly people are disabled, they are physically disabled but determined, and their faces are resolute and they dare not look at them directly. If it is time to re-enter the battlefield now, I believe that these old people will not hesitate.
Serov and his entourage, dressed in KGB uniforms, did not cause much of a sensation, the Soviet Union was a country full of soldiers, and people were accustomed to wearing military uniforms. Besides, you can't expect ordinary people to be able to distinguish the difference between the KGB uniforms and the Red Army uniforms, just as you can't tell the difference between the armed forces, the police and the People's Liberation Army under normal circumstances.
Beneath the towering monument, two newlyweds came to lay flowers at the monument, which was not surprising, because Serov had done the same thing, and when Baku and Valya got married, they carried out the same tradition as the two couples in front of them.
"Hello, comrade, can you take a picture of me and my wife?" The young man in the suit looked at Serov and they came up and asked.
"Aren't you afraid of us? We are KGB officers! Serov looked at the two couples and said with interest.
"What are you afraid of? I've seen all the KGB movies, and I adore you! The man said timidly.
Does this mean that Serov's current efforts to whitewash the KGB have already had some effect? Smiling and nodding, Serov asked a second lieutenant in the back to take pictures of the two couples, which should have been done by himself, which would have had the effect of a family between the military and the people. It's a pity that Serov is not very professional in some of the skills of agents, and it will be a shame for the KGB in case of exposure.
"It seems that the people are still very satisfied with our work, at least now they are not afraid of us!" Serov was very satisfied and said to several officers around him that although this incident was not big, it gave Serov the confidence to whitewash the KGB. (To be continued.) )
