Serov seems to have forgotten one thing all along, that the problems of the USSR are not the problems of the Soviet Union alone, but in the socialist countries in general, and since such problems exist, they do not necessarily have to be solved in the USSR first. You can find a country with such a problem and start by looking at what the situation is. Cybernetics is not necessarily useful, but what if it does, who knows how it is if you haven't tried it?

At this time, the Soviet friends had value, and in terms of loyalty, in fact, he should have started with Bulgaria. Geographically, however, he did not believe that a single country could have been catastrophic by promoting cybernetics under the care of the Soviet Union. The GDR was on the front line, and if it really worked, it would first change the atmosphere of the GDR, and the bureaucracy of the GDR would definitely exist, but the bureaucracy of this country was not very strong for the Soviet Union, and the opposition would certainly not be as strong as it was in the Soviet Union, and it would not be difficult to suppress it for the time being.

Persimmon is still called picking up the soft pinch first? Serov will not know the south, south, and northwest just because he is the first deputy chairman of the KGB, and the boss is currently powerful enough, so he really does not do the same thing with other departments. As long as it works, the use of these allies to influence the Soviet Union in the future is just as acceptable.

"The establishment of such a network will make it easier for us to control the movements of the GDR. If I had known your purpose, I should have brought Lieutenant General Gresco with me, and it would have been quicker for the two of us to act together. Lieutenant General Shevalev waited until Markus Wolf left, then said this to Serov.

Lieutenant General Gresko, the new head of the Directorate of Surveillance and Investigation Administration, ranked seventh within the KGB, and Lieutenant General Shevalev, head of the Eighth Directorate, jointly work on electronic investigations, although they have different emphases. Taken together, the two directorates concentrated eighty percent of the KGB's electronic reconnaissance forces.

"Controlling the GDR's movements is only part of the story. It would be a bit short-sighted to limit the goal to just one country, and in the name of academia, we will first expand the network to the entire Warsaw Pact, and we will have to complete the first step in three years! Serov did not hide his purpose, and said directly, "It is necessary to knead Eastern Europe and our alliance into a whole." Our science and technology and academics are no worse than those of any country, and even from the standards of one country alone, the motherland has far more scientific research personnel than any other country, but our potential is far less great than that of the enemy. ”

"First Vice-Chairman, you seem to have a soft spot for cybernetics? I'll be honest. Some of the advice of cybernetics scholars is truly amazing, but there is so much to discuss about the specific process. You picked the GDR to promote this theory, I can probably guess the meaning behind it! The meaning of Lieutenant General Shevalev's words is clear, and this roundabout way of fighting already shows the seriousness of some problems.

"No one knows what the result of cybernetics is, maybe it works well, maybe it can just be implemented theoretically, it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work out, we are thinking of other ways, but we definitely can't even have the courage to try. Again, your focus is inherently wrong. For us in the KGB, the really important thing is not to promote cybernetics. It's the establishment and control of this computer network! Serov reminded Lieutenant General Shevalev to pay attention to the real key points, not to think too much about things outside of his authority, and to regard the establishment of this computer network as an electronic monitoring platform, which is also in line with the KGB's consistent work style.

The cybernetic system is useful in case it is useful. A natural enemy will soon appear, and that is now the Soviet Economic Development Committee, which is now in charge of the economic operation of the Soviet Union. These expert mathematicians Serov are very respected, you can't say that they don't work hard, a country of more than 20 million square kilometers with inconsistent geographical conditions. The fact that it can function in their hands and become a ruin in a market economy speaks in itself to the competence of the Planned Economy Commission. But the problem is that it is no longer the same as it was under Stalin, the development of science and technology has made more and more products, and the growth of consumption has made the simple life of the former Soviet Union somewhat unrealistic, and the amount of calculation has far exceeded the planning capacity of the Stalin period.

According to the words of cybernetics, with the current explosive capacity of science and technology, in 50 years, the Soviet Committee for Planning and Economy may need to absorb all the university students of the Soviet Union. Do other departments still need to exist, and everyone has joined your Planning and Economic Committee, what are other departments doing? Watching you play math every day? Who wouldn't want to see their department stronger, and Serov would have liked that the KGB could really be omniscient and omnipotent......

Oh? Serov forgot one thing, according to the normal course of history, there would simply be no USSR fifty years later. Thirty years later, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and the mathematicians of the Committee on Planned Economy could have found an American university to show people the door.

"The current computing power of computers is actually not trustworthy, and our computer production may need to be strengthened," Lieutenant General Shevalev sighed a little, "First Vice-Chairman, can't we wait?" ”

"There is not only the Soviet Union in the world, think about the scenario where we first extended the computer network to the whole world, if our opponents had done this first, what kind of dilemma would we have faced in turn?" Serov said in a deep voice, "Once the computer network is controlled by the Americans, our original information disadvantage will be more obvious, and if it is the other way around, we will be able to surpass it, and today the KGB can only do the world's major events to be quickly known by us, and in the future, the KGB will be able to understand everything in the world without leaving the office......

For Serov, the KGB was a part of himself, and the stronger the Soviet Union's military department of national security, foreign intelligence, and internal security, the safer he felt. If the technology of robots is now mature enough to replace people, they will immediately replace all the seemingly unreliable forces with machines.

The progress of computer technology in the GDR and the computer technology of the Soviet Union in the next era was about the same, of course, Serov did not know this, and this was told to Serov by Lieutenant General Shevalev after his investigation.

"So you need some programming experts and experts from the GDR to talk about it? Nothing, yes! Serov understood what Lieutenant General Shevalev meant, this is quite normal, and not all Eastern European countries speak Russian. Speaking of this, Serov suddenly remembered that the computer was really a good thing, and he could use this computer network to eliminate other languages in the Soviet Union, anyway, in the future, there would only be a Russian version, and if he didn't know Russian, he would go to grass, which was more acceptable than the Soviet Union's use of executive orders to force the promotion of the Russian language.

This is not something that Serov and Lieutenant General Shevalev can discuss on the first day and produce results on the second day, even with the cooperation of the German Stasi, it cannot change the fact that it takes time for the experts of the two countries to run in, and it takes time for the manufacturers of computers and breakthroughs in computer hardware technology, and even for the KGB to steal products from Western Europe for comparison.

Another thing is that on the Polish side, with the organized and premeditated cooperation of the French, Algeria is now full of smoke, and the Poles seem to have experienced the demeanor of the liberators, and the Algerian People's Army has been warmly received by the local population wherever it passes. A decisive battle seems to be brewing in the hundreds of thousands of French troops, and so do the feel-good Poles, who seem to really think that the support of millions of Arabs will allow the Algerian People's Army to win the war.

"As things stand, this decisive battle should break out in the second half of the year, and if the French lose, Algerian independence is a foregone conclusion! What do the Poles think? Serov counted the time and decided that the decisive battle should be after the Cuban Missile Crisis. At that time, with the urine nature of the French, it is more likely that they will take advantage of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in Cuba. The French would be idiots if they didn't take the chance. So when the United States and the Soviet Union were staring at Cuba, there would be two wars breaking out during this time, one between China and India, and the other with the French and Polish military advisory groups and the People's Army led by the Algerian Communist Party and the Union of the National Liberation Front?

"Comrade Korzinsky is in a pretty good mood? I think he doesn't take the French army too seriously! Marcus Wolf replied with some amusement, "Do you want us to help him, or contact Egypt to play a little role in this war?" ”

"It's useless, even if Egypt is dispatched with a whole army, it will be difficult to defeat the French army on the frontal battlefield, the key point of victory or defeat is actually in time, if our Polish comrades are smarter, it is not without a chance of victory to drag out the time, but if it is a decisive battle? Let's see the luck...... "In the final analysis, the Poles themselves rushed up, and Serov was originally ready to sacrifice the power of the Soviet Union, and now the Poles themselves jumped out of gear to grab the sub, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Now because of the Algerian war, the French deficit is also high, de Gaulle's insistence in this regard has already damaged his prestige, if a decisive battle wins everything, it is easy to say, de Gaulle's prestige can even reach the peak, but if he loses, he may be wiped out with the fruits of monetary reform, but this is a good thing for the Soviet Union, isn't it? If it weren't for the French's insistence on maintaining the face of their colonial empire, how could they give the Soviet Union the opportunity to beat the French with French money?
