Chapter 383: KGB Daily

Sticking the daily wage at a certain limit, enough for a single person to live for two days under the minimum guarantee, I believe that it is not a difficult thing for the mathematically proficient Mao Zi scientist, of course, to starve to death, unless he chooses to starve to death on his own initiative.

"We, the General Directorate of Military Administration, are now supervising the Ministry of Defense over the reform of the establishment of the Red Army, and nothing else!" Roman, director of the Third General Bureau, began to introduce the situation in this regard, and since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the voice of the Central Presidium on disarmament has disappeared, and the first secretary Khrushchev has often appeared in the army. This mentality is the same as in the Brezhnev period, where if you can deceive the Americans, you can deceive the Americans, and the relaxation is limited to slogans.

The reform presided over by the Ministry of Defense has nothing to do with disarmament, but through Director Roman's introduction, the Ministry of Defense has taken action to reorganize the Soviet Army, and the purpose of this reorganization is to reorganize the nominal 170-odd tank divisions into assault clusters dominated by motorized infantry divisions. At the same time, the existence of purely infantry divisions was essentially eliminated. After the reorganization, there will be no units in the Soviet Red Army, which will be dominated by light infantry. It can be regarded as a meaningful moment in the mechanization of the entire Soviet army, in fact, the Soviet Red Army can already claim to be the mechanization of the whole army, and this time it only eliminates the last bit of color.

This time, it involves the reorganization of the four major clusters in Eastern Europe and all military districts in the country, the reorganization of infantry divisions into motorized infantry divisions, and the reduction of some units with tank division signs, which seems to be sending a message of dΓ©tente. In fact, this is not the case at all, a tank division in the Soviet Union is about 320 tanks, a motorized infantry division is a separate assault tank regiment, and the number of tanks in a motorized infantry division is about 280 tanks. The number of tanks in the motorized rifle division is forty fewer than that of the tank division, and it is not in the general sense that the motorized rifle division has very little armor.

"The meaning conveyed by the Ministry of Defense is that it will eventually be organized into about fifty tank divisions and about one hundred and fifty motorized infantry divisions!" Roman finally shared this information with his comrades.

"Is this a reorganization or an expansion of the army?" Serov looked at his colleagues and said in a very attitude tone, "Once this reorganization is completed, the army will need at least 50,000 tanks on the front line as an attack arrow to support the army!" ”

In fact, Serov is not unfamiliar with an army of this size, this is the military strength of the Soviet Union at its peak ten years later, with 50 tank divisions and 150 motorized rifle divisions, forming the most deterrent steel torrent in history.

But it seemed to be a little more, and after thinking for a while, Serov asked, "Who made this reorganization plan?" ”

"It's the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Comrade Ustinov!" Semychasny answered the question for Roman, and Serov nodded knowingly, it turned out to be him, so it was not surprising at all.

Ustinov spent his whole life building what he considered to be the strongest armed force in the world, and he did it when he was Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet armed forces reached their peak in his hands.

Serov wanted to oppose it, but he couldn't find an excuse to oppose it, and it was not within his purview. This reorganization plan must have something to do with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and although it ended up with more than it did in history, it had the same impact on the Soviet Union as it did in history, because the Soviet military began to go crazy without getting everything it wanted. The same was true for the Red Navy, where the pace of construction of Moskva-class helicopter carriers began to accelerate abruptly.

"Then remind Comrade Ustinov to think about the issue of funding, let's not say anything else! Next question! Serov waved his hand, the arms race is not one-sided, and the Soviet Union must be willing to stop it.

Recently, the United States has been looking for the Soviet Union to restrain the nuclear arms race, which may be related to the billion-ton concept nuclear bomb discovered at the last moment during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But why doesn't the United States show sincerity and reduce its naval strength? It's just that the Americans already feel threatened by that thing, so they want to negotiate with the Soviets to control nuclear weapons.

If it is really sincere, the United States can reduce the number of its own 30,000 nuclear bombs! Always want to run to the Soviet Union to empty gloves white wolf.

"I have a question, is it about the border, or is it a dispute between us and our Chinese comrades. This is a big headache for me! "The head of the Main Directorate of Border Defense, the commander of the border guards, Zeyanov, raised a dispute over the demarcation of the border, which has been going on for several years, and Zeyanov himself has been a negotiator several times.

"We could have paid them back, but not now. China is scolding us every day, and if we return the island to China at this time, the impact will be unpredictable. Will it cause damage to the image of our country? Semychasny knocked on the table, his eyes swept around everyone, and finally stayed on Serov for a little longer, and then said, "I don't know if you have any suggestions for Comrade Zeyanov's question!" ”

"If it drags on, the Chinese side will not calm down, there is nothing to talk about this matter, but it is necessary to put on an attitude that can be discussed, don't talk to death, the next question!" Serov said directly.

With the current relations between the two countries, this matter cannot be solved at all, and Serov does not dare to intervene, he can't think of a reason why the Soviet Union will take the initiative to make concessions when it is scolded every day. Concessions in this case, those who make concessions can be punished for treason, and no one can bear it, except for Khrushchev and Brezhnev.

The Soviet Union returned that small island, and even if Serov tried to do so, it would have to wait until after the seventies, when China was in a state of calm. Moreover, if it does not cause a backlash in the Soviet Union, it is necessary to transfer the contradictions to Turkey.

"I remember that at the beginning of 1963, Turkey expelled the last Greek-speaking population from the country, a total of 18,000 people, and I hope you will die on time!" Serov, who listened to the discussion of other comrades, hoped in his heart that Turkey would quickly heat up.

The Soviet Union could not take advantage of this opportunity, because the United States had not yet withdrawn its missiles, and the Soviet Union still needed time to build up its army, but fortunately Turkey did not die once, but a second time in the seventies. With the first public opinion preparation, waiting for the second chance, the Soviet Union will be able to open the passage to the Mediterranean Sea at that time.

The geographical location of the Soviet Union was both an advantage and a disadvantage, and the disadvantages were reflected in the cold climate, the fact that agriculture had little potential no matter how much it tossed, and that it was not suitable for industrialization. But the advantage was that the Soviet Union was relatively close to any key location, and it was possible to offset the strategic projection power of the United States with a geographical advantage. Of course, it is still necessary to develop its own strength, and it is not good to be close if you don't have strength, on the contrary, you will be threatened because the distance is too close.

There was also the question of Shevalev, director of the electronics bureau of the Eighth Main Directorate, who first reported on the problem of computer networking that he was carrying out in Berlin, and that computers in the sixties were not very functional, not so strong that the human brain could completely beat computers. But Shevalev's success in Berlin is still significant, and that significance lies in terms of national security.

Looking at some colleagues who were not cold, Serov said very excitedly, "Do you know, comrades, the use of computers for data collection is the focus of our future work, but it is not something that can be cultivated by an individual to become a master of mental arithmetic from an early age, no matter at any time, this world is dominated by ordinary people." Ordinary people need all kinds of conveniences, and we, the security cadres, should give them this kind of convenience, and then carry out our work on the basis of the convenience provided. ”

"First of all, we need to network in all the capitals of the Warsaw Pact, and we have to do it in Bougerra, Warsaw, Budapest. When the technical conditions can be supported, the second step is to cover the network of small and medium-sized cities in these countries! Serov stretched out his finger and emphasized, "Some people disguise themselves in public, but in private they do the other thing." We need to use the Internet to create such a platform for these people to speak the truth in the illusion of safety. This also involves data collection, so the more widely used computers are, the more helpful it is for our work, and everything has two sides, and comrades must grasp the good side......"

At the right time, Serov will leak this surveillance, and this must be after the Soviet Union has done this work, and the United States has not done it, so that perhaps the pace of the American work on this side can be eased, and this premise must be that the Soviet Union moves faster than the United States.

"Comrade Serov's suggestion is very reasonable, and Comrade Shevalev's work is a new thing, so now we must start training talents in this field, and the major universities and universities with which we cooperate should now train talents in this area." Semychasny concluded, "Come up with a resolution for colleges and universities to adjust their admissions majors and cooperate with our work!" ”

When I came back to attend the National Security Conference, I had to discuss a number of issues related to national security, including social security and ethnic issues, religious issues, and the work of the KGB itself was to solve these problems that posed a threat to the Soviet Union. Not only does it need to be solved, but it needs to be solved quickly.

For example, in an incident in Minsk, Chief Serdyuko said for a long time, and Serov understood after a while what it meant, medical trouble? This thing actually appeared in the USSR? "Is there a forensic report? Have you checked it, is there any responsibility for the accident on the part of the hospital? If it is vexatious, let the Minsk Main Directorate of Internal Affairs pay attention to this aspect. You must know that in many ways of dealing with it, once a precedent is set, law enforcement officers throughout the Soviet Union will pay the price for such a precedent, and making a compromise without problems is itself a disservice to the country.
