"The question of the exchange of gold and the dollar in the Breston Woods system is not that gold in the United States can support the use of the entire dollar, but is determined by the income deficit and surplus of the United States! The United States uses gold as a margin, and can maintain the stability of the capitalist financial market by selling and recycling, and use the leverage effect to maintain the stability of the dollar! But we believe that there is a fundamental structural problem with the entire Breston Woods system! After the war, the economic strength of other places outside the United States has recovered quite a bit, and now several countries, including our Soviet Union, are brewing currency reforms! In Serov's office, a man in his forties was explaining economic knowledge to the KGB deputy chairman, and Serov, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded incessantly, not daring to disturb the man's train of thought.

As the deputy chairman of the KGB, Serov looked for teachers who were famous people when he was studying, and the person in front of him who talked eloquently was Leonid, an academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences? Kontorović was a brilliant scientist, mathematician, and economist.

Serov listened very carefully to Leonid? Kontorovich lectured, and a feeling called admiration rose in his heart. Because he knew from later generations that the Breston Woods system had collapsed. It was because of the persistence of the dollar crisis that the United States was forced to abandon the Breston Woods system. In a sense, although the Breston Woods system supported the United States, it also limited the power of the American dollar, and the petrodollar of later generations could better support the additional issuance of American currency.

"Leonid? Comrade Kontorovic, listening to you say this, it seems that the Breston Woods system is really problematic! Serov asked curiously, "So is the Breston Woods system a good system?" ”

"That's a good question, General Serov!" Kontorović nodded and said, "The gold standard on which the Breston Woods system rests is based on a relatively constant standard. And the reality is not as simple as it seems! The population will grow more and more, and the dollar will definitely exceed the issuance! Over time, the Breston Woods system will certainly become more and more unstable, because the amount of gold mined is nowhere near as fast as the issuance in the United States! The Breston Woods system itself is structurally sufficient......"

Serov put on a teachable appearance and understood the specific problem, is it easy to solve the problem? Easy to solve. As long as the Americans are disciplined and do not secretly increase the issuance of dollars, the Breston Woods system will not be abandoned in just over 20 years, even if it cannot last forever, and the problem is that the United States has secretly increased the issuance of dollars to make up for its own deficit, but as a result, it has been targeted by other countries. The dollar crises of the sixties were followed by the shadows of other countries, among which the close allies of the United States, Britain, France and Germany, were all among them.

Now the United States is the strongest country in the world. There is the most powerful armed force, and the Breston Woods system is still built by the Americans, is it possible to expect the Americans to steal without guarding? In this regard, Serov, as a spy chief, understands better than others the trade-offs and entanglements between the interests of the United States and the interests of its allies.

In fact, the Soviet Union can be said to be the beneficiary in the early days of the establishment of the petrodollar, and the United States and the Soviet Union together held down the success of the Breston Woods system. At the time of the petrodollar, the position of the superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union was strengthened, ensuring that Britain, France, and Germany alone could not challenge them.

"Leonid? Comrade Kantorovich. Excuse me! Hope it didn't delay your research topic! "The alarm clock on Serov's desk went off, indicating that today's economics lesson was over. Stood up and held Leonid? The hand of Academician Kantorovich, expressing gratitude for the arrival of this academician of the Academy of Sciences.

"It's okay, Comrade Serov! I have a note here, and you can always come to me if you want to understand the problem of economics! "Leonid? Kantorovich said quite familiarly, a deputy chairman of the KGB became his student. He himself felt proud of it, so he gave one of his notes as a gift to Serov.

"Let's leave after eating, the food of our General Bureau is still okay!" It was already close to noon, and Serov naturally did not let Kantorovich go back hungry, which was too unserious about scientists.

When eating in the cafeteria. Serov asked a few more questions, all of which were related to the planned economy of the Soviet Union, and finally Leonid? Kantorovich also gave Serov answers one by one.

In the afternoon, Serov still had classes, and in the afternoon the class was a psychology course, and the teacher was found by Dr. Yagota, who, according to Dr. Yagota, was also his teacher, the most authoritative psychologist in the Soviet Union. More authoritative than Yago.

Not long after eating, just after the car that sent Kantorovich left, a sedan slowly stopped at the door of the General Military Administration, and an old man with gray hair who was nearly sixty years old came down, but it could be seen from his appearance that the old man was a handsome young man when he was young, and this old man had a pair of eyes that seemed to know everything, and he had a feeling that everything was under control.

Leontsev, head of the Department of Psychology of the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow University, once cooperated with famous Soviet psychologists, psychology was not valued in the Soviet Union, but Leontsev still tried his best to develop his research in psychology as much as possible with limited support.

Economics and psychology courses have replaced Serov's original painting and music classes, after all, music and painting can only be used as pastimes, far less useful than economics and psychology courses. Psychology, in particular, is very important for an agent, the agent's latent camouflage is related to this kind of discipline, if you can make targeted counter-detection exercises, you can greatly reduce the chance of being discovered, and if you are not discovered, you can reduce the possibility of defection, and naturally you don't need to let the KGB Operations Executive Department full of killers always wander to the ends of the earth.

The heroes of the world are out of my generation, and the years are urging, and this sentence summarizes that the most suitable profession is the killer! If the executioners of the Operations Enforcement Department, who kill for a living, had killed fewer people, they would not have always gone to the General Hospital for psychological treatment.

"Our research covers many areas such as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior, interpersonal relationships, social relations, and many areas of daily life - family, education, health, society, etc. On the one hand, psychology tries to explain the basic behavior and psychological function of individuals by using brain operation, and at the same time, psychology also tries to explain the role of individual psychological functions in social behavior and social dynamics. At the same time, it is also related to neuroscience, medicine, biology and other sciences, because these sciences discuss physiological effects that affect the mind of individuals. ”

Leontsev only briefly explained the importance of psychology, and then began to explain specific examples, and soon Serov found that Dr. Yago did not brag, and Leontsev was indeed clearly a lot higher than him.

"The foundations of psychology include, describe, explain, predict, and influence behavior!" Leontsev gave Serov a serious science, but Serov, who was a student, didn't buy it this time, and said in a strange tone, "So, I can interpret a person's heart completely based on his appearance, and then predict his subsequent activities and influence on the surroundings?" I didn't understand it wrong, did I? ”

"You understand correctly, theoretically your statement is completely valid!" Leontsev's categorical tone did not change Serov's determination to classify him as a god, Leontsev's words were too suspenseful, Serov couldn't believe it at all, he didn't believe that such an outrageous thing would happen.

"If a person can do this, not to mention predicting the future, it's almost the same! Comrade Leontsev, this explanation is somewhat unconvincing! Serov retorted nonchalantly, "Is there such a person in the world?" I'd love to see it! ”

It can be said that today's two classes gave Serov two completely different experiences, the economics class in the morning made him feel that he had learned a lot of useful things, and in this psychology class, he did not experience the gain at all, but thought more and more that there was a magic stick in front of his eyes, is there a Rasputin appeared in front of his eyes again?

"Chief Serov, do you really want to see it?" Contrary to Serov's expectations, Leontsev not only did not worry at all, but as if he had known that Serov was suspicious of him, he stared at Serov's face with a smile and said, "This kind of person is very rare, but it is not impossible, Rasputin is indeed a liar, but it does not mean that there are no people in the world who really understand people's psychology......"

It was as if an atomic bomb exploded in his heart, Serov was shocked, and the chair behind him made a screeching sound, which was caused by Serov's movements being too big, "How did he know that I thought of Rasputin?" This question has always hovered on Serov's mind.

"I can judge your mental activity based on your body movements, and if Director Serov takes precautions in this regard, I naturally can't see your mental activity on the surface!" Leontsev smiled and said, "But our research is always attributed to feudal superstition by some cadres, and we have long been accustomed to this!" If Director Serov is interested in some paranormal phenomenon, I'll introduce you to someone! ”

"Who?" Serov asked directly, "Wolf?" Grigorivvich? Messing: "Leontsev replied as simply. After Leontsev left, Serov, who was leaning back in his chair, tossed and turned, picked up the phone and said, "Find someone named Wolf?" Grigorivvich? Messing's people, I want to see him......" He remembered this man, the prototype of Yuri in Red Alert...... (To be continued.) )
