Chapter 256: Package

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union provided industrial aid to many countries, among which China and India were the largest, with more small projects in India and more in China. But there is a considerable difference between the two, and this difference lies in the time, and the Chinese side quickly accepted and digested the industrial system given by the Soviet Union.

On the Indian side, I don't know if it was because the Soviet Union was afraid of a repeat of the scene on the Chinese side, or because India itself had problems with its own capabilities, and the time to digest the Soviet industrial system was greatly extended, and it took a full twenty years from the sixties to the eighties to digest all the things given by the Soviet Union.

As a state security agency, the KGB will review a number of industrial projects to see if there are any areas that pose a threat to the Soviet Union. In the Kremlin, Sherepin and Serov walked through the long corridor to Khrushchev's office.

If there is a country with which the Soviet Union has better relations at present, it should be India, at least India has no direct threat to the Soviet Union, and so far Khrushchev has never believed that China and India will fall into trouble to the point where they must fight each other. From a normal point of view, the area bordering China and India is not suitable as a battlefield, and this is also the usual consensus on the border dispute between China and India, and that place should be resolved peacefully.

"The eight major aid plans for India this year have all been evaluated, we have not identified any risks from the security side, and the opinions of the National Security Council have been written in the report, ready to wait for the approval of the Central Presidium!" Serov paused for a moment and then emphasized, "Intelligence work on South Asia is a weak point of the National Security Council, and for a long time our strategic direction has always been the strongest in Europe, followed by the rest of the Americas, the Middle East and North Africa, and the intelligence network in South Asia, but it is not strong!" I think there is still a need to strengthen the work in South Asia, Comrade First Secretary ......"

"Tell me what you think!" Khrushchev waved his hand and said quite democratically. Sherepin was stunned, this situation is quite rare, at least Khrushchev was far less polite to the other members of the Central Presidium.

This is quite normal, because the difference in rank between Serov and Khrushchev is very long, and Khrushchev is usually willing to show his democratic style in the face of uncommon cadres. Serov thought for a moment and said, "The ethnic composition of India is more complicated. I am ready to recruit a group of Uzbeks, of course, this is not all, there are three other directions as auxiliaries. The recruitment of spies from the British colonies in Africa, Afghanistan, which has good relations with India but is opposed to Pakistan, and Indonesia, which has a large Indian population, will be organized by the Seventh Division of the First General Headquarters, which will be partially covered by the Indian ......"

Isn't it wrong to do so at a time when you're helping friendly countries? The answer given by Khrushchev is no problem. In addition to the countries in this world that have been looking for a long time and cannot find any use value, as long as this country has a little bit of use, the First General Directorate of the KGB should have a corresponding department.

"Know, no one in the entire Central Presidium questioned your professionalism in security work! It's time to make preliminary preparations. Organize the intelligence network in South Asia as soon as possible, preferably as strong as our intelligence network in Europe! "Khrushchev put the report on aid to India on the table and prepared to hand it over to Kosygin.

This seems to be a high praise, the development of the KGB to the present organizational structure has appeared a clear but somewhat incomprehensible situation, at this time it is not Serov, so under the nose of Sherepin, his little brother is very presumptuous to close the distance with the first secretary, of course, they are all talking about work.

"First Secretary. The plan for the construction of breeding farms in the major border military districts, I think, is so. In peacetime, soldiers should not wait for supplies like the people, I think the major military regions should have the basic logistical support capabilities that belong to their own troops, so that our supply system can reduce some pressure, and the extra capacity can be used to meet the needs of the people, and the liberated capacity can also avoid some waste in transportation! Serov did not forget to add, "This is the information we got from the Chinese side." I have to say that after analysis, it is a good way! ”

This intelligence officer naturally exists, that is, Serov himself. It is enough for valuable intelligence officers to find out how the Chinese army raises pigs, at least Serov will not let the intelligence officers do this kind of work. It is difficult to organize an intelligence network in both a single nation and a socialist country, and China occupies both points.

"China? Well, you can promote it in your KGB border military districts and see how it works! As soon as Khrushchev heard about China, he immediately reflexively agreed to Serov's proposal.

So Serov discovered a basic fact. The matter that the KGB presidium did not decide after several meetings seems to have been resolved here, and there is such a good thing? Serov instantly dispelled the idea of leaving, he still had a lot to solve, but with the power of the KGB, he could naturally solve it, but there was no Khrushchev word to do.

"The General Directorate of Technical Management has experimented with improved windmills for wind power, which can be used by outposts in certain remote areas to obtain electricity, especially in some parts of Siberia where supply is difficult!" Fully explaining the meaning of what is meant by inches, Serov is ready to solve all the problems planned by the KGB in a year, how many such problems are there? He can only say a lot, a lot......

As for wind power Serov, of course, he can't use fucked energy conservation and environmental protection as an excuse, the Soviet Union values performance rather than this kind of thing, and there are other excuses besides energy conservation and environmental protection, such as national security. Small wind turbines are not high-tech, they have been used in the Soviet Union since the thirties. The main advantage of promoting wind power is that most of the Soviet Union's vast territory is subject to cold air, and it would be too wasteful not to use such abundant resources.

Serov somewhat regretted that he did not bring the meteorological statistics report east of the Ural Mountains, otherwise it would have been easier for Khrushchev to realize this, and now he could only use the memory in his mind to persuade him. Fortunately, it is not difficult to do this, and it is not easy to make Serov forget about what he has seen in a short time.

"Does wind power have that much capacity?" As with many projects, the Soviet Union achieved great results at first, but then slowly gave up without knowing what was going on. In the thirties, the Soviet Union built a number of small wind turbines, but in the end the Soviet Union felt that hydroelectric power seemed to be better.

At present, the power gap in the USSR is not large, but this is based on the completion of development. Didn't the USSR build new factories? The people don't have electricity anymore? The household appliances that appeared in the kitchen debate are not distributed to the people anymore? Electricity in the Soviet Union will continue to develop predictably, and didn't Lenin say that socialism is electrification. Khrushchev, who had been elevating Lenin to resist Stalin's influence, was naturally more willing to give his own answer on electrification.

Accidentally Serov found out that he had succeeded again, and Sherepin seemed to have discovered something, and this feeling was like the feeling that he had been scraped by Serov. That's right, that's what it feels like. Normally, Serov is always on the spot, either abroad or at home anyway, and when he returns to Lubyanka Square 11, he usually sees Sherepin for the first time, and then he will carry a whole bag of documents in front of him.

Normally, Serov will also claim that these investigation reports are written by himself, of course, Shelepin knows his subordinates very well, and he can only write 300 words for review, and he will write the investigation report himself? It must be the two female secretaries around him, Serov is at best moving his mouth. This process usually starts with a report from a national security perspective, and then it will go deeper and deeper, once the communication between the two sides is relaxed and happy, Serov will take out all the plans on the report, almost all the above things are for the benefit of the country and the people, and finally Sherepin also feels good and approves all the above plans.

Sherepin has been in charge of the State Security Council for two years, and this situation has been encountered three times, and now seeing Serov's various quotations and data to put forward one plan after another, it seems that the prospects are quite promising, and he knows that it seems that he has been met by the first secretary for the fourth time.

"Both fungus and mushrooms are good for preservation, and fungus can be eaten with mustard? It doesn't matter if our people don't approve of this kind of thing, we can export it to China, and then say to our people that this natural food is very popular in China, just copy a few words from China! Serov said this about the sales of non-staple food in the forestry region. Although this roundabout approach does not quite reflect the character of Lao Maozi, it is very much in line with the work of the KGB.

Khrushchev nodded frequently, and after a while he said to Shelepin, "Shurik, we'll have dinner together in a while......"

"I can guarantee that the United Arab Republic will disintegrate within this year, Egypt and Syria will be cut off by Israel in the middle and become two disconnected lands, and the Egyptian side has an attitude of eating Syria, according to the report of the Middle East Department of the First General Directorate, the Syrian side is quite dissatisfied with this, and it seems to me that once Syria has endured enough, the time will come for the United Republic to disintegrate!" Serov threw a bombshell in front of Khrushchev and Shelepin.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Serov tried his best to tell all the plans that had recently accumulated in the backlog, just as Sherepin had speculated, and it was entirely an opportunity to get support for the KGB's package. In one day, Serov was approved twenty times here by Khrushchev, and all plans were adopted. (To be continued.) )
