Chapter 489: Cloud Burst Bomb
A native of Latvia, Pugo is currently the first secretary of the Latvian Communist Youth League Riga, and in the coming days he will become the first secretary of the Lenin Communist Youth League in Latvia, and then he will work in the KGB as chairman of the KGB, chairman of the Supervisory Committee, and head of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has worked in the security system all his life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis experience is actually very similar to Serov, who turned out to be the first secretary of the Komsomol of Azerbaijan and later served as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan.
The common experience is only one reason, in fact, what makes Serov appreciate is that Pugo was the only person who was buried for the Soviet Union after the failure of the August 19 coup, and the history is really interesting, the only main person in the coup d'état who was willing to die for the Soviet Union turned out to be a Latvian, a union republic that fought side by side with the Third Reich.
After the August 19 coup, Pugo and his wife Valentina went upstairs to their son Vadim's room. The conversation between them was heartbreaking. In fact, the couple were bidding a final farewell to their son and daughter-in-law, when Pugo mentioned that he would definitely be arrested. Before that, Valentina asked her husband where his weapon was, because she felt that if he died, she would not survive in this world. Pugo called the aides of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked them how they were doing, and when the aides asked if Pugo had gone to the office that day, he asked why not? At the end of the conversation, Pugo asked them to send greetings to his first deputy. Soon Pugo received a call from Russian intelligence, "Will we be able to meet with you?" Two of Yeltsin's cronies were about to ask him questions, but Pugo said: "Then please come to my residence." ”
When they arrived at his house, the Minister of the Interior was lying on the bed, blood pouring from his temples, and his wife, Valentina, was sitting on the floor near the other bed, not dying, and soon after she died in the hospital. In his last words, Pugo wrote: "I trust others too much, and I have been honest all my life. His wife Valentina's suicide note was more concise: "I don't want to live anymore, don't blame us, take care of my grandfather." Mother. "The investigation concluded that it was suicide.
In Serov's earlier plans, it was supposed Aliyev and Pugo, as deputy ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to restrain Serokov. However, because Pugo's status was still very low, he finally felt that it would be better for Aliyev to do this. Later, even Aliyev was vetoed by Alexey, which reminded Serov of Kryuchkov, the last chairman of the KGB of the Soviet Union.
Now it seems that it is a good thing to use Kryuchkov to downplay his own attempts to clamp down on Serokov. Then Pugo, who was also the last Minister of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, also came into Serov's sight. This time I happened to see the situation of those slackers, so I called Pugo to accompany me.
When he saw Pugoselov, he suddenly realized that he was already old, and the reason why he thought he was still young was because he was in Moscow, and the youngest person he came into contact with was also three years older than himself, Semychasny, and Pugo was ten years younger than him, and in his eyes, Pugo and his wife Valentina had become a young man and a little girl.
There is no official name for the place that could be called a city, and the KGB did not specifically name the penal colony of the Soviet lazy man, but in some Lubyanka's talk, the city is called New New York, a ironic name. In the eyes of the cadres, this place is actually similar to the Gulag, except that the people who were sent here from all over the Soviet Union were not mistreated, and they were left to fend for themselves.
Of course, this does not mean that there is lawlessness here, although the city is a place for lazy people in the whole country to stay, but there is still the existence of the Ministry of the Interior, in this special place, except for some state-owned enterprises to set up factories to prevent people from starving to death, the Ministry of the Interior manages almost everything, the reason is to prevent the breeding of legal bandits.
If these lazy people are really left to fend for themselves and do not maintain order, then this place will soon degenerate into another gulag, and there is a lack of good people in the world, and there is no shortage of evil people who believe in the biggest fists. After several actions and the execution of criminals in the blockade zone, these Soviet idle lazy people also understood that even in this place the law exists, no different from the outside, except that the government does not force you to work. The premise is that you yourself must not starve to death......
"What surprised me the most was that this penal colony turned out to be profitable." Serov took the financial report on the functioning of the entire city, which was sent by the KGB representative office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs here. It takes out the data of the operation and profitability of the entire city in detail. Just kidding, what about the balance of thirty or forty million rubles a year......
The original intention of the establishment of New York was that the price of goods must surpass that of Britain and the United States, and the living conditions should be the third world. All management methods are aimed at the pursuit of profits, it doesn't matter if people are lazy, if you have to starve yourself, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will never stop you. This is one of the most competitive places in the Soviet Union, and it can be said that Serov made such a place on the territory of the Soviet Union with the original intention of disgusting these people.
There was a great movement of people throughout New New York, and every day there were industrious Soviet people who were already considered to be industrious and sent back to their hometowns, and there was also a steady stream of lazy people sent from all over the Soviet Union. The unemployment rate in New York is 70 percent, and a third of the people are working every day, but what about the rest? Serov, who walked to the street, saw the guy in the corner who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and shook his head slightly.
It can be said that this kind of person has been abandoned by the state, and if someone really wants to live this kind of life, they can stay here for the rest of their lives, "you can rest for three days if you do it for one day!" Muttering this mantra, he really didn't want to come in if he had a choice, the environment in this place that was completely worthy of a medium-sized Soviet city was really not very good, and if he hadn't known that the city was built by himself, maybe Serov would have thought that he would wake up from India after a sleep.
"So far, a total of 124,000 people have been released, and the urban population has remained at about 150,000, with a ratio of about 14 to 1 men to men." Next to Serov and Pugo, the Minister of the Interior of New York gave a briefing on the situation.
"Fourteen to one? In other words, there are basically no women? Serov said to himself, this may be one of the few places in the Soviet Union where there are more men and fewer women, but although there is such a disparity in the ratio of men and women, but in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, under normal circumstances, the time of living here is half a year, most people have returned to their hometowns after half a year of life, although the total population of the city has not changed, in fact, I don't know how many people have changed.
"Comrade Pugo, what do you think?" Serov turned his head to look at the Pugo couple next to him, the two of them hadn't talked much since they came in, but it was no wonder that the environment in New York was almost the same as in India. Who wants to talk more here.
"Terrible, I don't have much to say beyond that." Pugo said a few terrible things on his face, which showed what he thought of this place.
Serov was very satisfied with this attitude, and the operation to correct Pugo's three views seemed to be a success. When the new New York was first built, it was also criticized by some local cadres, and some local cadres came here and accused the KGB of rebuilding the Gulag in another way.
Serov's reaction was to ban local cadres from entering the place, and to get in had to apply to the KGB. At the same time, he explained this problem to the Presidium of the Central Committee, saying that this city, which is fully capitalist, is a treatment for the reversal of the mentality of some of the Soviet people. To make them understand what life is like under capitalism, of course, this is a nonsense, but it is not entirely a nonsense, and the New York is indeed trying its best to lean on capitalism, but it is moving closer to the sweatshops, not to the capitalist countries of Western Europe.
If Pugo had developed normally, Serov would have transferred this person to the security apparatus sooner or later, and although there were some minor problems with indecision, it was enough to be responsible for maintaining public order in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The KGB itself has no shortage of ruthless people, and there is enough room to make up for Pugo's problem.
Of course, the environment was not suitable for living, so they left before dark and returned to Riga, where Latvia was generally calm, the Baltic country was actually very safe and secure, and the economy was one of the largest in the Soviet Union. So Latvians, even if they are dissatisfied, only keep it in their hearts.
"If you become independent while you're alive, I'll pull you all out to shoot targets." Serov, who spent two days in Latvia, did not fail to discover the advantages of this place, and good economy and public security are not advantages. Instead, he found that there were many blonde and blue-eyed women here, and the most disparity between men and women in the Soviet Union was in the three Baltic states, where the lack of men had reached the point where you could see it by walking around.
A telegram from Lubyanka was opened, which said that the experiment over the Semipalatinsk test site had been successful, that all domestic animals within the range had been suffocated to death, and that the new bomb was very powerful. Serov destroyed the telegram and said to himself, "The cloudburst bomb has succeeded. "The main charge of a cloudburst bomb is a cloudburst agent, also known as fuel-air explosive. Cloudburst is not an explosive, but a high-energy fuel. Under certain detonation conditions, the cloud burst agent is thrown away, mixed with the air and violently explodes, which is called cloud detonation. Because the detonation time is dozens of times longer than that of ordinary bombs, and the invasion time of high temperature and high pressure to the target is also dozens of times, the destructive effect is much greater than that of ordinary bombs. Because the cloud detonation will consume the surrounding oxygen, the explosion site is generally seriously hypoxic within four minutes, which has a suffocating effect on humans and animals.
