Chapter 255: Aid Plans

Normally Sherepin will not come back to work, but today is different, today is February 20, the day of the establishment of the Cheka will be paid, and the KGB will pay salary, and Sherepin will come back to receive this month's salary. The day after Serov returned to Moscow, the official KGB chairman finally appeared at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, according to Serov's words, "Our comrade chairman should show his high demeanor and hand over the salary of the KGB, otherwise his recent work in the KGB will obviously be an extra salary, and we anti-anti-corruption workers will have to clean up such people......"

"......" Sherepin, who had just entered the conference room of the KGB Presidium, looked at Serov with his back to him and delivered this tirade with his back expressionless, and sat directly from behind the chairman's position without making a sound and shouted, "The meeting is ......

"Hahaha......" Itvasov, who was facing Serov, happened to see this scene, and he couldn't hold back his laughter in an instant, and all the directors of the General Administration present laughed under his leadership.

"I don't have much time, don't pay attention to Yuri's jokes!" Sherepin wasn't really angry, he knew Serov more well than anyone here, he went hunting in Kuibyshev last winter, and was once pressed into a snowdrift by Semychasny and Serov, which is still interesting to think about. It's a pity that Yegorechev on his side and several of them are not the opponents of Serov and the others at all.

Shaking his head, Xie Lepin cleared his throat, looked at the other members of the KGB Presidium and the directors of the major general bureaus, and went straight to the point, "The Central Presidium has approved the funds for our National Security Council this year. Today, let's arrange the specific funding problems of each department! ”

In fact, if it weren't for this, Sherepin, as Serov said, would not have appeared at Lubyanka Square Eleven at all. This year, the KGB has received a slight increase in financial allocation, which is about $1.5 billion in dollar terms. This means that the KGB's funding is even tighter this year......

After Sherepin said this, the atmosphere in the whole conference room was a little strange, and finally the first deputy chairman Itvasov was the first to speak, "This year we merged the NKVD. We are all responsible for the internal affairs police and the regional institutions of the entire alliance, but the financial allocation is only given to these more, which will cause our KGB's funding problem to be even more strained, and seven billion dollars seems to be a lot, but the two units of the Internal Guard and the border guard army add up to four billion, and the remaining three billion will be divided by so many of our General Bureaus? ”

"It's a little less, but in fact, the funding of our KGB has increased, and the funding of other departments and even the Ministry of Defense has been cut a lot!" There is a sentence that Shelepin has not yet said, compared to the pressure that Shelepin put on various departments in previous years. This year, probably because he was promoted to secretary of the Central Committee, he was not troubled on the issue of funding, otherwise he would have received even less funds.

"The work of the First Directorate is too important, and front-line agents around the world need funds to obtain intelligence! The funds of the General Directorate of Foreign Intelligence must not be less, and the situation of the General Directorate of Domestic Espionage Prevention is the same! The funding of the two directorates can only be increased! Serov directly excluded both the 1st and 2nd Main Departments, and the funds of the two departments could not be lacking for even one day.

Seeing that Sherepin was looking at himself, Serov nodded slightly to show that he was not worried, and Shelepin, who had been assured, began to allocate the funds. In the end, in the midst of the noise, the funding of the various departments was guaranteed. The usually meticulous directors of the major general directorates will not back down on this issue, and under Serov's nose, they have explained to Shelepin how important their departments are. Funding is needed to purchase equipment and research new technologies.

These bureau chiefs, who are usually moody and chilling, are no different from housewives who pick fat and thin at this time. If they were generals of the Ministry of Defense, they would probably have gone to the Kremlin to spread the theory of the American threat. Serov's guess was not wrong at all, at this time in the Kremlin, the first secretary Nikita Khrushchev was listening to the marshals of the Ministry of Defense talk about the American threat.

It was very difficult for Sherepin to appease the directors of the major directorates and let Serov stay. The heads of the general bureaus of other departments drove back to their headquarters without getting enough of it. The two entered Serepin's KGB chairman's office one after the other, which was spotless and no different from when Serepin was again, and every day there was a special person to clean it and wait for Serepin to return.

"How does it feel to be back in Moscow?" Sherepin sat in his chair and asked with interest.

"How's that? Where? Serov's answer was still full of questions, his boss's question was a little too clueless, please forgive him for not being superhuman.

"That's fine. Say whatever you want! Sherepin touched his desk with nostalgia, where he was the unquestioned chairman of the KGB, who determined the movements of the KGB's millions of agents, soldiers, policemen and informants. According to the rhetoric that the Americans always attacked the USSR, it was omniscient and omnipotent. In the presidium of the Central Committee, he was only the youngest and the most junior secretary of the Central Committee. The difference between the two is already somewhat nostalgic.

"It's unacceptable to have a lot of things!" Serov's face collapsed in an instant, he still liked the kind of life of a secretary who had something to do, "The temperature will be more suitable next month, I want to select the site for the two vegetable greenhouse bases, and work will start when the permafrost thaws, and the distant-water fishing fleet of the Fourth General Administration is also preparing to set up a base, and my own Third General Administration has a lot of things, and Indian cattle landed from Ukraine are slaughtered, but the taste of Indian cattle is not very good, so I asked the Third General Administration to send this batch of beef to some military districts of the Red Army, Saving our own meat supply to the people. Of course, this also caused some soldiers to complain that the quality of meat had deteriorated recently! ”

"Next month, I will go to the Baikonur Space Center to organize work and lead the Sixth General Directorate to do some emergency measures!" "Sudanese agronomists will return home in batches, and the next batch of experts is being arranged." In addition, the Computer Research Institute of the Third General Administration is working on ternary computers, and if we take into account the popularization of ternary computers, the current research has turned to the next topic, and the next topic is the research of ternary supercomputers. On the issue of meat reserves in the border military districts, my proposal is to set up farms belonging to the military districts, and each company should set up its own farms, because the cattle eat too much and are picky, the farms of the border military districts only raise poultry and pigs! ”

Serovlin muttered all the research of Shelepin's absence, and added again, "Old secretary, in fact, from the point of view of meat supply, domestic pigs are obviously more cost-effective than other animals. Our alliance has an unexpectedly smaller supply of pork than beef, and cattle require far more feed than domestic pigs, which puts a lot of pressure on our agriculture. They eat more than 20 million tons of crops a year, and Poland's national grain production is only that......"

Although he had known for a long time that the Soviet Union's food problem was different from that of China and India, Serov was still shocked after returning from Sudan after in-depth investigation, and in addition to the waste caused by the poor logistics system, the Soviet Union was preparing to buy grain with foreign exchange while at the same time operating this expensive meat supply system. To put it mildly, the cattle in the USSR were better than those in China and India.

"In the future, these things will be handled by you, Semychasny must not be familiar with the work of our department when he first came, you have to help him more!" As for Serov's complaints, Sherepin did not hear them all. Instead, he asked about the funding of the KGB, mainly hoping that Serov could make up for the funding gap in the department.

"There is no problem with the funding of the First General Directorate, the old secretary, Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky is just for show, and the comrades of the American Division have a good relationship with many local drug lords in the Americas! A single Americas Division would be able to prop up the intelligence network of the First Directorate. Serov told Sherepin about it directly.

"As for our factory in Italy and many products may take half a year to recover the funds, it should not be a big problem, you don't have to worry, chairman! The difficulty of our KGB's funding problem lies in the fact that we need to expand the world's industry, and at the same time we have to feed back the operation of domestic institutions, so as long as we get through this year's investment period, there will be no major problems in the future! Serov said nonchalantly, for an institution like the KGB to set up some global industries is necessary, originally the KGB did this in history, of course, now with Serov will be more successful.

Sheleping nodded clearly, the gloom in his heart was dispelled a lot because of Serov's words, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you read the aid plan?" After our assessment, it will be sent to the first secretary of the Kremlin for approval, didn't I ask you to review it when you come back? ”

"A plan to aid India? I've seen it! Serov motioned to Sherepin to wait, and then went out to the office of the first deputy chairman next to him to get a document, but Sherepin waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to read it.

"You go to the Kremlin with me now and hand over this document to the first secretary with your own hands!" Serov was surprised by Shelepin's words, because this was the right of the chairman of the KGB. As a matter of fact, Serov is not qualified to review this kind of risk assessment report for assisting a country, especially in the face of a large country like India, and this kind of work should be done by Shelepin, the chairman of the KGB. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's true that I've been more depressed recently, and the more major events I have, I always feel that my pen power is not enough, and I don't have any pen power, and I really don't have it at all when I decline
