Chapter 257: Cybernetics

These recognitions were not in vain, and after receiving Khrushchev's support, Serov was also given the task of preparing to assess Cuban aid and to inspect the security situation in Cuba. Of course, this cannot be done at home, in other words, Serov will go on an expedition to Cuba sometime this year.

"It's nice to have a first secretary who has a personality like an ordinary person!" When he walked out of the Kremlin, Serov felt that his bones were lighter, compared to Brezhnev, a person who seemed to be easy to talk to but was actually not easy to deal with, Khrushchev was actually very good, at least on some occasions, he was very willing to communicate with others.

Although there are countless failures in Khrushchev's reforms, there are also many places that are relatively good, and what cannot be compared with Gotu's reforms is that Khrushchev's reforms have been successful in several places, and none of Gochev's reforms have been successful, and this is the gap.

Serov did not have the ability to put forward a plan for the second day to be realized on the first day, and of course there were many things that could be promoted by using the power of the KGB, such as the promotion of the Altai mobile phone system. In Serov's view, the problem encountered in the early days of the Altai mobile phone system was that the Soviet Union was vast and sparsely populated, and this mobile phone system did not form a nationwide network in the Soviet Union, but became a local area network.

But after promoting it in Italy, Serov suddenly found that there was no way to overcome this problem, at least in a country with a territory like Italy, the problem could be alleviated. Unlike the Soviet Union, which had no way to do it before a breakthrough in research, it required a certain population density and cities that could not be too far apart. The Soviet Union could not do it, but European countries, including Italy, could do it, and this naturally included Eastern European countries.

So Serov once again used the energy of the KGB to intervene in the promotion of the Alpha mobile phone system, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of all Warsaw Pact allies had to purchase this equipment to complete the first step of the promotion in the host country. There is only one country Serov that compares no way. That is Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia, like China, had no easy reach for, and in his own profession, Serov hated an independent socialist state. At the time of the war intelligence work, the country with this system was quite uncomfortable and could not penetrate it.

If the Soviet Union had the kind of economic and political-military status that stood out from the crowd, Serov would never have made any revolution, and he would definitely have chosen the opposite path. Overthrow all other socialist countries. These provinces used this system of catch-up to catch up with the Soviet Union. This is the best, there is no other socialist country to compare, and the Soviet Union is the only benchmark country that can absorb nutrients to the fullest in the capitalist world. When the time comes, there will be no need for the Soviet Union to export revolution, and I am afraid that there will be too many countries that will take the initiative to become socialist.

However, the Soviet Union did not have this status, and it was the Americans who had this status, so Serov still had to do the revolution honestly.

Yugoslavia was wary of the Soviet Union, and this mentality was similar to that of China. If Serov used the KGB to communicate with Yugoslavia, it could be counterproductive. A round of telegrams was sent to colleagues from other Warsaw Pact countries. Serov is waiting for news.

It was the Italians who finally solved the problem, and Bellinger said that Italy could communicate with Yugoslavia and talk to Tito in the form of commercial cooperation. Unexpectedly, this matter was finally solved by Italy, and Serov said to himself helplessly after getting the news, "Is this the first reward given to me by the Italian Communist Party?" Without me, you're an opposition party for 10,000 years......"

It was Serov's breakthrough in Italy that brought about today's rewards. Italy is now the equivalent of Yugoslavia in the NATO camp, and this argument is not uncommon among some civil voices in the Warsaw Pact bloc. In fact, many pro-American Italian newspapers are also commenting on the current communist government. In fact, Yugoslavia also treated Italy quite favorably. The two are respectively regarded as unruly countries in the other camp.

In private, Tito also suggested that Paremirotto Gliatti should be cleared of the US military bases in the territory in the name of national liberation. For this suggestion, Parimiro Torriatti said that he should consider it, but in fact he did not take it seriously at all, Italy was a member of the Axis group back then, and the historical burden was not so easy to unravel. And if the U.S. military bases in Italy are evacuated, what will happen to Japan and Germany, which are also members of the Axis bloc? The United States will not budge on this point, if Paremiro Toriotti makes trouble. The United States may consider assassinating him.

The fairness of socialism and the prosperity of capitalism are the rhetoric of the Italian Communist Party in uniting other parties. If the Italian Communist Party had been an opposition party, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union might have given the Italian Communist Party a taste of what it felt like to be criticized by the entire socialist camp. But Italy is in NATO, and it has finally become Italy's ruling party, so we need to think more about the impact of other aspects.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense will know. If the Soviets really branded the Italian Communist Party as a heretic, would the small Communist Party of one country be able to bear it? The tolerance of the Soviet Union is the opposite of what some countries promote, and it can be said that it has maintained maximum restraint.

"I would like to inform the comrades of the Ministry of Radio Industry and the Ministry of Communications Equipment Industry that the State Security Committee suggests that the Ministry of Radio Industry and the Ministry of Communications Equipment Industry send a group of comrades to the local area to conduct inspections and summarize the problems encountered in the process of popularizing the Altai mobile telephone system. Serov said to the secretary of the secretariat at the KGB headquarters, "The Seventh and Eighth Main Directorates also need to send certain personnel to assist, and the task of our two Main Directorate comrades is to keep the communications monitored, understand?" ”

"Understood!" After Sherepin did not go to work in the Lubyanka, the secretariat of the KGB headquarters was used by the two first deputy chairmen, Serov and Itvasov, who were more normal and worked, and Serov never meant to leave any part of the department idle.

"Go ahead!" After Serov finished the order, he took over tomorrow's itinerary at the same time, and then left his office to discuss the operation of the KGB with Itvasov to see if the two people's schedules could be coordinated.

The coordination did not go well, and after hearing Serov's suggestion, Itvasov smiled bitterly and said, "I am going to Belarus tomorrow, the local civil defense forces are digging a battlefield of the Great Patriotic War, and the remains and weapons of bad soldiers have been unearthed, and I am going to go there, mainly to see if there are any dangerous bombs that have not been detonated, and at the same time to take away a lot of experts......"

Serov nodded knowingly, this is not the daily life of the Soviets, which was later called the Russian Digging Party. However, the excavation party of later generations is a civil act, and the civil defense force is an official excavation, but I don't know if I can dig up a tank or something, who can say that the world is so wonderful.

"Well, how long is it going to go, the chairman went to the Secretariat, and our two first vice-chairmen cannot leave Moscow at the same time!" Serov asked, and he should normally be the one who leaves Moscow for an expedition.

"Three to five days, it won't take too long!" Itvasov thought for a moment and replied.

"That's no problem, I'm going to ask a teacher to teach me, since you have an itinerary, it's the same for me to take classes here!" After thinking about it for a while, Serov was still not ready to push off the course, he had to combine what he had seen in later generations with what was developed in the Soviet Union in this era, so learning was the first step.

This time, Serov chose to take a computer course, and the specific course he studied was cybernetics. According to cybernetics, the entire Soviet economy was seen as "a complex control system consisting of many interconnected control loops." Soviet cybernetics experts proposed that the operation of this system could be optimized and more effective planning and management could be achieved by establishing a large number of regional computer centers to collect, process and distribute economic data. Linking all these centres into a national network would lead to the establishment of a "single national system of automatic economic control". To put it simply, this set of theories served the planned economic system of the Soviet Union.

In a report to the Presidium of the Central Committee, the USSR Academy of Sciences advised, "In terms of efficiency, the use of computers for statistics and planning must be of absolutely extraordinary significance." In many cases, this makes it possible to speed up decisions and avoid mistakes hundreds of times over. And in the current economic planning activities, the huge bureaucracy is massively producing such mistakes. ”

The Academy of Sciences proposes to build computer centres in each region to assist in planning, statistics, engineering and scientific research. Such a novel thing is certainly worth learning, and Serov also wants to see how far this thing that the Soviet Union has not achieved can go.

"Based on the use of electronic computers, the management of manual and individual forms is transformed into the management of automated systems, so as to completely change and improve the methods and means of economic management!" The person who spoke eloquently in front of Serov was one of the deputy directors of the Computer Research Center of the Ministry of Defense, Colonel Koskitov.

"Theoretically, the establishment of a control network of calculators across the country can greatly reduce our management costs, which can be said to be a perfect supplement to our planned economy, and our National Security Council also has similar research in this regard, but our research lies in the manufacture of faster computers, which is relatively lacking in theory!" After taking notes, Serov looked at the teacher, who had been borrowed from the Ministry of Defense, and talked eloquently. (To be continued.) )
