Chapter 83: The Labor Pains of Democracy
"Of course, you also have to concurrently serve as the director of the General Administration of Military Administration, and the original plan remains the same!" Shelepin patted Serov on the shoulder and said, "With your age, you are outstanding in the country, and maybe only Vladimir is taller!" ”
The Vladimir in Sherepin's mouth is now the first secretary of the Communist Youth League, Shemychasny, and Sherepin has a very wide range of contacts throughout the government, propaganda, institutions, and security systems. It is well known that Shelepin did not like cadres who were too old very much, so his friends were either the same age as himself, or a few years younger than himself.
"It's still easy to be promoted by the leader's side, I'm in Berlin for so long and it's better to be a few days before the first secretary!" Serov's actions proved that Shelepin's judgment was not wrong at all, sitting on the sofa at the speed of light, and did not forget to change his position, always using one posture is a little tired.
Xie Leping said disapprerovingly, "If there is anything to deal with, please deal with it in advance, Comrade First Secretary thinks that you have done a very good job in defending the United States this time, and I have already decided to take you with me when I visited the United States in September!" ”
September? Two months later? Serov looked constipated and said, "But we are going to meet in Bucharest in September, and this conference is very important, and I have been planning it for a long time!" And I still have something to do to go to the GDR! ”
"Go to the GDR and talk to the French colonists about how much money you can give to Algeria?" Sherepin took a glass of water to moisten his throat, and said with a slight forehead, "Do you think this KGB deputy chairman came for nothing?" It has already been decided that you will visit the United States with the delegation, so it cannot be changed, and as for the Bucharest Intelligence Conference, I will inform the Minister of the Interior of Romania, Comrade Elithescu, to postpone it for a month in October! Besides, do you think the Bucharest Conference is important or the General Secretary's visit to the United States? ”
"Okay, when I didn't say it!" Sherepin directly diverted the topic, because Serov's expression was very obvious, and he thought that the Bucharest conference was more important.
Serov, of course, thought that the Bucharest conference was more important, and he had been planning for this conference for a long time, so how could he have the leisure to go to the United States to see where the two hostile guys were pretending to be friendly? What's more, he just finished watching it once, and the result came again?
Originally, because of a trip to Berlin, Serov's schedule for the second half of the year was very tight, and he was going abroad this time? "Old secretary, you know that my work schedule is already very tight, and there are two more general bureaus to work! Actually, I suggest that you can change the director of the General Administration to go abroad! Serov cautiously suggested.
"I want to be more direct, and directly let the position of deputy chairman of the KGB be better for others, so that your pressure will not be so great, after all, you are brought out by me from Azerbaijan, and it is indeed a bit bad to be old and decrepit at a young age!" Xie Lepin thought as if he was very considerate of his subordinates, "Do you think it would be more appropriate for Alexey, director of the Fifth Bureau, to take over the position of deputy chairman of the KGB?" ”
"No, young people still have to share the work for the organization, and besides, I have confidence in my own ability!" Serov immediately stood up and packed up his things and said, "I have never felt that I have a heavy responsibility, I have to arrange work, and I must arrange the work of the General Military Administration in advance, otherwise I will not feel at ease when I visit ......the United States."
"To put it bluntly, it's just reluctant!" Sherepin sneered at Serov, who was about to leave the KGB headquarters, he knew his subordinates too well, from Azerbaijan to the present, Serov almost as long as he saw the good places without being said, and in turn he was like a bear that has been hibernating, and he will never wake up without being pointed at a shotgun.
is obviously a model of laziness, but as a result, this guy rose all the way, married the flower of the Komsomol and now has reached the position of deputy chairman of the KGB. I have to admit that Sherepin also likes Serov's character, the feeling that everything is under control, which is very similar to himself. Someone else would have been kicked out of the KGB long ago.
"Go to the General Bureau of the Secret Police!" Serov, who got into the car, gave an order to close his eyes in the back and recuperate, of course he was excited, and now he has finally reached the post of deputy chairman of the KGB, although he is currently only ranked ninth, but it is only in the order of seats, and only KGB chairman Sherepin and the two first deputy chairmen are left.
This year and next year, Serov wants Italy to build a factory to launch products with novel designs, what slot machines, casinos, pyramid schemes, fraud groups are not the right way after all, instant noodle factories are just a small road, with the support of the KGB, with the acquiescence of Khrushchev, the formation of a large-scale factory, to solve the KGB's financial problem is what Serov wants, as long as the goal of financial self-sufficiency is completed, the KGB is a tiger out of the cage, a dragon that breaks free the chains, and no amount of rules and regulations can limit the expansion of the KGB, Not only can it be restored to the peak strength of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Beria period, but in the long run, it will be stronger than the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Of course, at present, Serov is still the head of the General Directorate, and the ordinary deputy chairman is just a name, and he is no better than other directors of the General Administration.
It didn't take long for Serov to enter the headquarters of the Main Directorate of the Secret Police and begin his regular work! Serov, who was eating Haise, said with a rebellious and reasonable attitude, "The funds of the General Military Administration are tight, and I, as the director of the bureau, should also play a leading role!" ”
"Yes, there is always a price to be paid in the process of development, your philosophy is that you develop yourself, and then others pay the price, and your thinking is more suitable for the colonial era!" Lieutenant General Alex drooped his eyelids, all as if there was a cloud of air opposite him, which head of the General Directorate's office had not been used as a canteen by Serov? People control the KGB's overseas funds, and this money plays a role no less than that of the central government's finances, who dares to disagree?
"Well, good! Already shipped to Azerbaijan? Three hundred children under the age of five? Take care of these children and send them to Ostornaya, just hand them over to the troops there! Alexey's voice answering the phone made Serov's ears prick up directly, and he waited until he hung up the phone before saying, "Ostornaya? When did your secret police headquarters also interfere in the work of Agent City? ”
"We're just in charge of shipping, and who's to say we're meddling?" Alexei sat down on the table and faced Serov and said, "The child was bought from the Sinai Peninsula and Iraq!" Why don't you want to think about these children when you export the revolution? Not our KGB intelligence officers, the fate of these children still does not know what is going on? ”
"This is the throes of democracy, you don't understand!" Serov didn't take it to heart at all and said, "As long as democracy wins in the end, it is worth it even if the blood is drained, and the slogan of democracy can be eaten as food or water to drink!" If we don't do it, we will do it, and instead of waiting for the Americans to plot to kill our foreign comrades, it is better for us to do it first! ”
