"The agricultural problems in the Soviet Union are as desperate as ever. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Sitting in his office, Serov held two reports in his hand, one on the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the first half of the year, and the other on the safety report on the shortage of agricultural and sideline food, which belonged to the General Directorate of Internal Espionage.

To put it simply, two manifestations of a problem, there is not enough food to eat, so the black market is quite rampant. In 1964, the per capita grain of the Soviet Union was about 620 kilograms, three times that of India and China. During the Cold War, the per capita peak in the Soviet Union was 1978, when the Soviet Union's per capita grain was 840 kilograms.

The Soviet Union had too high latitudes, and the climatic conditions were not suitable for many high-yielding crops. The diet structure in the world has long been based on starchy food as the staple food + strong stimulating complementary food, and there have been few exceptions for thousands of years. Among the world's high-yielding crops, starchy crops are mainly wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and cassava. Among them, rice and corn have extremely high requirements for heat and light, so they are not suitable for large-scale growth in high latitudes, which is also an important reason for the failure of Khrushchev's agricultural revolution.

Serov's success in planting rice in Primorsky Krai is only a special case, the main thing is that he has a certain understanding of the local climate to succeed, but this is only a special case, and there is no second place in the whole Soviet Union where rice can be grown on a large scale, and the latitude of Ukraine is more suitable, but there is a shortage of water.

Coupled with the success of the coup d'état in Sudan and the import factor of India, in fact, the Soviet Union's grain supply this year can be pushed up to 700 kilograms, which has exceeded the 100 kilograms of per capita grain in the Soviet Union in the same period in history.

"Chairman, what's the problem?" Interior Minister Serkov, who had been here for a long time, saw the Rubyanka's head with an ugly face, and thought that some of the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not in place. Serokov also has a book in his hand, the name of the book is called the self-cultivation of an anti-anti-epidemic worker, such a painful title does not need to be thought of, it is Serov's masterpiece of preparing to cheat the manuscript fee from the Ministry of Culture, the prison Fortseva and Valya have a very close relationship, he, the chairman of the KGB, has repeatedly deceived and succeeded, and used the manuscript fee to supplement the family.

"There is no problem, the arrested speculators will be tried according to the regulations." Serov came back to his senses and said, "The reason why the black market is rampant is that there is some tension between our grain production and the ruble. But at this stage I don't have much to do, Comrade Serokov pays more attention to the situation in this regard. By the way, the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrive tomorrow, Comrade Serokov will receive it, and then he will join me on the visit. ”

Speculation in the Khrushchev era was not serious, at least not in the black market economy as in Brezhnev, because the Soviets in the Brezhnev era were richer and goods did not grow as fast as wages. So the demand for the black market economy is greater.

Khrushchev traded a slight drop in grain production for a rapid increase in meat. For the Soviets, having enough to eat was not a problem at all, and by growing corn, meat production increased and the living standards of the Soviet people were greatly improved. Later generations have repeatedly accused him of the following reasons: Khrushchev was defeated by the Soviet top brass themselves, and the Soviets would not say good things about Khrushchev. Khrushchev was the general secretary of the Communist Party, and the Western media would not say good things about Khrushchev. In the end, Khrushchev was so bent on improving the agricultural problems of the Soviet Union that no one said a good word about him.

"Knowing the chairman, then I'll go first. By the way, one more thing. "Give it to me, I also want to see the opinion of the chairman's meeting on the safe work." ”

Is it Brezhnev who wants to see? Serov shook his head indifferently, saying that he didn't mind giving the book away as a gift, since Brezhnev wanted to read it, let him see it, anyway, Brezhneva was in his hands, and Brezhnev's son also had his own informant by his side, hoping that the two would always be safe.

"This food problem is a bottomless pit!" At the current price level, there are not enough things for the Soviets to buy in rubles, and Serov has always believed that if the Soviet Union does not lack food, it only needs to close the per capita food gap with the United States. But after getting some math professors to make statistics, he realized that he was too naïve.

Under the condition that the value of the Soviet ruble and the price of grain remain unchanged, in order to ensure both the purchase demand and the endless supply of a variety of goods in the self-selected stores, the per capita grain possession of the Soviet Union should not be more than 600 kilograms during the Khrushchev period, nor more than 700 kilograms at the peak of the Soviet Union during the Brezhnev period. It is twice as much as the peak per capita grain of the United States and three times that of the Soviet Union in the highest year of per capita grain, with 2.5 tons of grain per capita.

With 2.5 tons of grain per capita, Serov said that the earth is so small that he has never heard of any country reaching this figure, and even the United States in 30 years will have only half that number. In the 21st century, the per capita grain of Chinese was five times that of India, and that of India was ten times that of the same period. If the Soviet Union could do this in this era, the United States should not be the target of the Soviet Union, and the threat that the Soviet Union should consider should be aliens.

2.5 tons can ensure all the grain consumption of the Soviet Union, brewing wine as you like, and vodka pipes are enough. Beef is just the first meal, throw it away after eating, squeeze the food oil casually, and so on.

How much food does a person need to eat if he does not die of hunger in a year? In fact, this figure is very low, two hundred kilograms is enough. It doesn't even need to be that much, and the number is even lower in vegetarian countries like India.

"So it seems that it is better to have fewer socialist countries!" Through this report on cracking down on speculation, Serov successfully corrected his thinking, and played with the Soviet Union a planned economy and material supply, and when the value of money was so large and the price of food was considered low by the government, the Soviet Union could not achieve low prices and abundant supply at the same time.

The solution to the permanent shortage of goods in the stores of the USSR is actually very simple, just become a capitalist country. Grain is always snapped up, indicating that the price is too low, so the price will rise. India's per capita grain is about 200 kilograms, and it used to be the world's largest rice exporter. Doesn't the fact that the shelves of goods in the Indian market are full? It has risen to the point that the people simply cannot afford it, and naturally the shelves are full of dazzling.

A different situation occurs in the case of socialism under public ownership. The pricing of goods remains in the hands of the state. At this time, the masses often snapped up empty goods. If you don't buy it in the crowd, you will find other people to buy high-priced goods at this time. After discovering this secret, some of these people acted as a process for black marketeers to raise prices and eliminate the purchasing power of the masses! So there is no shortage of supplies at the beginning!

Therefore, the allies of the Soviet Union should not be the same as themselves, they are all planned economy and public ownership, if they have the same system as the Soviet Union, in fact, it is not easy to get benefits from these allies, and they can only use the most stupid way to intervene in the country, but this kind of intervention is too obvious, and other allies will definitely be dissatisfied for a long time.

"So the Soviet Union's most natural ally should actually be the capitalist countries?" Serov came to the conclusion that the enemy he had been trying to destroy for so many years turned out to be the most beneficial supplement to the Soviet Union. This conclusion is too subversive to be believed.

Serov found that if the planned economy did not change at all, the price of grain remained unchanged and the supply was sufficient, it was necessary to kill a country, the United States, and the Soviet Union would take the place of the United States in order to continue to maintain this balance, otherwise it would never be possible for the Soviet Union's self-selected stores to maintain sufficient supply, and if the United States did not die, the Soviet Union would have a shortage of materials. But getting rid of the United States does not mean turning the whole world into a socialist public ownership country, and the best result is that the United States is dead, and the other capitalist powers are still alive.

With a crisp snap of his fingers, Serov felt that he had found a balance to suppress the capitalist countries, but not to completely eliminate them, "or I am the worst enemy of the United States." Putting away several reports on the table, Serov, with a relaxed look, waited for a visit from the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At the airport, Serov gave his old friend Handayani, First Deputy Minister of the Interior and Chief of Staff of the Internal Affairs Forces, a friendly hug and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Handayani, we haven't seen each other for a long time. This time you came to the USSR in just the right season, and you don't have to adapt to the same conditions as last time. ”

"Ha, Chairman Serov, you are already a world-renowned intelligence expert, we have all heard of your name in Jakarta, you are a figure that gives the Americans quite a headache!" Handayani laughed and chatted with Serov familiarly.

Subsequently, under the recommendation of Serov, he introduced his Minister of Internal Affairs to Handayani, and the friendly handshake between the two sides was regarded as acquaintance, and after a while, he left the airport in a car.

For the construction of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Serov has invested a huge amount of strength, from weapons and equipment to the ideology of the members, in order not to let the Indonesian Communist Party capsize in the gutter. Even if the Indonesian Communist Party forces fight a civil war with the Indonesian Army, they will not be wiped out like leeks as they have done in history. As a result, the Indonesian Communist Party was really wiped out, and not even a single wave was raised.

Tensions between Indonesia and Malaysia, along with the deterioration of relations with Britain and the United States, are all the more dangerous at this time, which is the purpose of the KGB's secret invitation to Indonesia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Serov is ready to develop a plan to settle the Indonesian issue.
