Chapter 278: Khrushchev Inspects

"By the way, half a month ago, at the 22nd National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the first secretary and the comrades in the east did not have a very pleasant quarrel!" Yegorechev glanced at a few people and said, "Our alliance is in danger of collapsing, Yuri was still on Novaya Zemlya at the time, and may not know the specific situation, but the dissatisfaction of our two parties is obvious!" ”

"How did I not know that the relocation of Stalin's cemetery was ordered by me!" Serov's face was quite ugly, and he was reluctant to say more on this issue, and it may be that Serov strictly ordered not to open Stalin's crystal coffin and did not touch the body inside. But the result is the same, stealing graves and digging graves is stealing graves and digging graves, this matter made him quite disgusting, shook his head fiercely and said, "Regarding the differences between us and the comrades in the East, I still say that it must not be resolved by debate, the tone of the 22nd National Congress is too high, and we will probably not be able to carry out the plan of the first secretary." ”

"Then if we deploy a few troops in the border area to maintain the threat, can we calm the heads of comrades in the East!" Semychasny said, "Let the other side realize that the gap with the Soviet Union is very large, and it may not be so radical!" ”

"That's at least a million troops, and with such a mobile force, I can plan to destroy Turkey!" Serov shook his head and retorted, "We can't even do anything about Yugoslavia, and we still expect such a small means to make the Eastern comrades retreat?" It may have the opposite effect, and now the Communist Parties of the whole world may know that we have obvious differences with our comrades in the East, but from an outsider's point of view, the differences between the two sides are still manageable! ”

Semychasny's method is similar to Brezhnev's method in history, that is, to directly expand the number of troops in Asia without talking and running, although the Soviet troops during the Sino-Soviet confrontation were all second-line troops, and the equipment was not very good. But that was in comparison with the four Soviet clusters on the European front of the Soviet Union, which could still beat all countries except the United States. If the Sino-Soviet differences had just begun, there was still a certain possibility that this method would be used to carry out Weihe, but by the time of the Brezhnev period, the differences between the two parties had become known to the whole world, and they had reached the point where there was no way back.

"It was the first secretary who single-handedly raised the current unstable factors!" It is clear from Yegorechev's words that the current differences between the Soviet Union and the Eastern comrades stem from Khrushchev's introduction of wolves. has caused the current embarrassing situation.

"It doesn't matter whose responsibility is held accountable, comrades, don't make mistakes in this regard!" With a thoughtful look on his face, Xie Lepin said, "Yuri has a point that makes sense, that is, it has not yet reached the point of no return. It's just another Yugoslavia that wants to stand on its own, and it's not a big deal! ”

"I hope so!" Egorechev did not continue on this topic either, although the relationship between the two parties has been cooling down in recent years, but it has only been two years since things have evolved to this point. It is only cadres at their level who have some understanding of this, and many local cadres and people still think that the alliance between the two countries is unbreakable.

From intimacy to mutual accusations, it was only a little more than two years in terms of signs, which is a little too fast. Ordinary people who are quick can't react at all, and even many cadres think that this is a personal contradiction between the leaders of the two countries, and I have to say that some Soviets are a little naΓ―ve in this regard. The solution to the problem is too hard and inflexible, but it is the same in another country, not to mention the second brother in this matter.

"I talked about this with Comrade Andropov last year, when Comrade Andropov organized a huge delegation involving all the allies and visited many places in China that are generally unknown!" Serov spoke slowly, looking at Meshatsev and Goryunov. "If you need to use it in propaganda, I can give you the list of cadres involved. However, in principle, I still think that it is enough for Poland and Romania to say that we can report it in the form of reprints, and that it is enough to raise our posture and turn a deaf ear to the criticism of the comrades in the East, so that we can create a false impression of tolerance for dissent, but we must tighten control over the countries of Eastern Europe! ”

"The propaganda side of things is left to us. But Yuri, what are you going to do with the KGB? Meshatsev asked, and at this time even Sherepin, Egorechev, Semychasny and even Tikunov, who was only interested in oil, paid attention to Serov.

"We, the KGB, have a new chairman, and in this name we will convene a Warsaw Pact Security Conference to unify our approach to this matter. Block news about the disagreements between our two parties! Serov thought for a moment and added, "In order to prepare for the worst, so that all the Allied Interior Ministries plus us can mobilize a batch of funds for the purchase of light industrial products." Especially what is not produced in other countries except China, how much to buy as much as ......"

This sentence surprised everyone, and Xie Lepin asked quietly, "Yuri, didn't you say that the matter won't be too serious?" Why make a fuss? ”

"The matter of party affairs and government departments is not too serious, but as a security cadre, I must be prepared for the worst, once the estimate is wrong, I will immediately adjust, and we must not let the differences between our two parties affect other countries, and our strategy is to be peaceful and peaceful, and the secret front will suppress possible destabilizing factors first!" Serov said with a gloomy look, "The KGB is running at full strength is a precision road roller, and whoever dares to stop it will be crushed and crushed..."

It's a loss! When it comes to the instability of this security range, Sherepin is unwilling to have an in-depth discussion with Serov, because his assistant is absolutely uncompromising in this regard, and just after he officially stepped down as chairman of the KGB, he also heard that Serov sent a unit to Africa, and no one knows what he was doing.

After the discussion on the 22nd National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Tikunov's work became the object of discussion, and everyone expressed their appreciation for Tikunov's work in the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.

"Judging by the places that have been discovered so far, the oil reserves in the third Baku region may be larger than the first and second Baku combined, and this time we seem to have discovered something amazing!" Everyone's attention was drawn to the fact that for the Soviet Union, the buying and selling of oil was an important part of the economic cycle.

If you want to talk about how much foreign exchange you earned, the Soviet Union would not be able to do without oil, not many people in the cadre class believe it. The Soviet Union used most of its own oil, and the rest had to be supplied to the Warsaw Pact allies at a price lower than the market price, and in the end the export at the market price was less than a quarter. Although the profits of this last part are very large, it cannot be said that the Soviet Union could not have survived without this part of the profits. It is not at all wrong to say that the future Russia is a gas station disguised as a state, but to say that the Soviet Union is like this now is a bit biased. Even the United States could not say that Soviet industry was not good, and other countries did not have the qualifications for this.

There is no doubt that the discovery of a major oil field would be absolutely beneficial to the economic cycle of the Soviet Union. For Tikunov, who was not very happy in the field of security, the experience of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry made him easy and comfortable. The work that was not going well was also forgotten by him.

In the second half of this year, Serov was busy with the affairs of Big Ivan from beginning to end, and a lot of things were done by Itvasov. Except for one thing, there are several vegetable greenhouses around Moscow, which is a matter of the face of the KGB and the supply of vegetables for the citizens of Moscow in winter. In normal winter, there is only a limited supply of cabbage, onions, potatoes and carrots in Moscow, and the rest of the vegetables need to be brought in from other places.

After almost half a year of construction, with the engineering units of the Red Army personally going into battle, coupled with the supervision of a group of paralyzed faces of the KGB, the vegetable greenhouse base project in Moscow was fully operational by the end of the year as a political task. The first batch of greenhouses has been completed for almost two months and will be in use by September. Now is the time to put the fruits of your labor to the test......

On 1 November, the outside of this glass vegetable greenhouse had already entered below freezing, and in the glass vegetable greenhouse, which was 200 meters long and 30 meters wide, most of the entire Soviet leadership was here: Khrushchev, Kozlov, Suslov, Mikoyan, Brezhnev, Podgorny, Forseva, and so on.

"This vegetable greenhouse base covers an area of seventy square kilometers, and the other two smaller bases will be used as a vegetable supply base for our Soviet capital!" Serov, who led many Soviet leaders into the glass greenhouse, took off the black leather gloves on his hands and introduced in a very solemn tone, "The information we obtained from the Netherlands, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and even the United States, plus some of our own original things, and of course, thanks to some scientists who study solar energy, finally created this base that condenses the wisdom of the people. It will no longer be a problem in the future......" (To be continued.) )
