Chapter 69: One Hundred Thousand Officers

"The U.S. National Exposition is about to open, and the director of the Second General Directorate should be next to the General Secretary, and the commander of the security work should be the director of the Fifth General Directorate, but you also know that the director of the Second General Bureau is about to retire. But if Director Alexei is allowed to take the place of the director of the Second General Bureau by the side of the General Secretary, it is unreasonable! So neither of them is suitable, you are the youngest head of the General Directorate of the KGB, your image is not bad, and the most important thing is that you are well-known in the United States, and this time it will be up to you to stand by the side of the General Secretary! Considering the relationship between the General Directorate of Domestic Espionage and the General Directorate of the Secret Police, Sherepin finally replaced the two direct commanders, let Serov on top, looked at Serov who was pretending to be a zombie and said, "What are you afraid of, it's not that you haven't attended this kind of work!" ”

"Am I scared?" Serov flatly denied it, "It should be those people who are afraid of me, I know, and I will leave this matter to me." I'm going back to the headquarters, let's sort out the work of the General Military Administration first! Otherwise, I'm afraid that those people will forget that they still have a director! By the way, taking away two sets of cutlery, Serov left the chairman's office.

"This little guy is using me as a cafeteria!" Sherepin shook his head with a wry smile and walked over to the window and pushed the closed window open, directly opposite the huge Dzerzhinsky statue in the square.

The two main directorates of the KGB are superior to others in terms of foreign intelligence and domestic espionage, and the first and second directorates are more important depending entirely on who has made more progress in their work this year, rather than simply dividing the first and second directorates.

Like the First Directorate, the Second Directorate has twelve divisions, although there are not as many as the sixteen divisions of the First Directorate, but there is no difference between the functions and the First Directorate, the first six divisions are divided according to geography, this region is not the internal administrative map of the Soviet Union, but is divided from the world map like the First Directorate, the first division corresponds to the United States and Latin America, the second division is responsible for the Commonwealth countries, the third division is responsible for the Germanic countries including the Nordic countries, the fourth division is the Western European countries, and the fifth division is responsible for the developed countries outside Europe, Division VI is responsible for the countries of the Third World. On average, each division is divided into five to eight divisions, supported by 50 staff officers and special investigators, as well as back-up teams.

The department that Serov said had the same functions as the anti-corruption department under the Council of Ministers was the 12th Department of the Second General Directorate, which was the anti-corruption bureau within the KGB, which had the same functions as the department of the Council of Ministers, and could investigate any corrupt person in the Soviet Union.

The Second Directorate ranked second in the KGB in terms of the number of people, only less than the 300,000 border guards under its command, and the scope of work of the Second Directorate was in the Soviet Union.

It can be said that although Sherepin did not let the returned Serov be promoted, if Serov became the head of the Second Main Directorate, his authority in the KGB would have risen to a higher level, and he could be on an equal footing with the ordinary deputy chairman of the KGB. After all, there were fifteen deputy chairmen of the KGB, and except for the two first deputy chairmen, ordinary people would not dictate the work of the General Directorate. So far, Serov has not recognized all the 15 vice-chairmen......

Now it is still necessary to do the work of the Third Directorate, return to Serov of the headquarters of the Third Directorate, ask Lukani to have a meeting with all the chiefs, and say to Isemotny, "You go to the General Directorate of Technology Management and get Tetris and electronic cameras!" ”

Serov had been studying the two things he wanted for two years, Tetris had already produced eight samples, and finally it had become something about the size of a computer case and about the size of a later generation, and the electronic video camera had successfully passed the inspection.

"Long time no see, comrades!" Serov fulfilled his position with 12 subordinate chiefs, corresponding to the 16 military districts of the Soviet Union, the four major clusters in Eastern Europe, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, the Air Force and the Territorial Defense Forces, the Navy and Defense, and the military-industrial complex, as well as the units of the major design bureaus.

Serov, who greeted him, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about work first, everyone has already read the documents issued above, the establishment of the Strategic Rocket Army is imperative, and all resistance must be removed!" At the same time, the order was issued to disarm 300,000 people, and the two tasks were carried out at the same time, so we must ensure the successful development of the work! Major General Pavlov said it! ”

"The opinion of the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff is that a few combat units with a glorious history should be selected from the existing Red Army, and their numbers should be retained and assigned to the Strategic Rocket Force, and at the same time, the newly established Strategic Rocket Force should be sorted out, and officers from the whole army should be selected to be added to the Strategic Rocket Force, and those officers whose quality is not up to the standard should be eliminated!" Major General Pavlov stood up and spoke eloquently, "My personal opinion is supportive, the General Staff of the Red Army will carry out the first round of elimination, and we will carry out the second round of combing to ensure that this youngest branch of the army has the most professional officer group!" ”

"It must be strictly audited, the Strategic Rocket Force is different from the general service, and the officers inside must be strictly audited! We must not make mistakes in this area, and we must prevent ideologically unreliable people in the army from entering the strategic rocket force! Serov nodded and said, "There is also a disarmament quota of 300,000, everyone talk about their opinions......

The disarmament order was issued at the end of last year, giving the Ministry of Defense a year to carry out disarmament, and it is the duty of the General Directorate of Military Administration to assist or monitor this process! Make sure that the Red Army, which has already disarmed two million, does not rebound. In the end, Khrushchev turned his brains to the Red Army in the development of the nuclear and aerospace industries, and was ready to find funds from the Red Army's military spending.

After opening the troop materials sent by the Ministry of National Defense, he drew a big cross on it without hesitation after reading it for a while, and said with a cold face, "Disarmament must start with the military district troops in the interior, and the military district troops in Central Asia, the North Caucasus, Transcaucasia, and Turkestan cannot be abolished, and let the Ministry of Defense redraw the troops!" ”

Serov understood that the formulators of the Ministry of Defense had good intentions and hoped that the Slavs would have a larger proportion in the army. But Serov would never agree to the dismantling of the soldiers of the Central Asian and Caucasian peoples, and in turn the Slavs must be dismantled. It is better for the Slavs to quickly retire from the army and go home to get married and have children, and the 300,000 troops can give birth to a lot of people in two years, even if it is better than nothing, it is better than doing nothing.

"There is also our plan for 100,000 officers, the plan I made in Berlin I believe everyone has seen it, and from now on it will be implemented to ensure that all officers of the Red Army above the rank of second lieutenant and major general establish a benign interaction with our General Military Administration! The plan has already been sent to the General Secretary by Chairman Sherepin, and the General Secretary appreciates it very much! Serov said in an unquestioning attitude, "Make sure that the army obeys the command of the central government!" It is necessary to make the officers understand who they are loyal to, and this goes hand in hand with the containment of Bonaparte's ideas! ”
