"Thank you, three secretaries!" Serov's face did not make any waves, and he waved his hand after expressing his gratitude. The soldiers of the secret police corps, who were still guarding the gold, shouted, "For the sake of the Soviets, sniff out and eradicate the traitors......

"They're used to shouting!" Hearing this slogan, Serov looked at the eyes of several Central Committee secretaries with some embarrassment, this is a slogan within the anti-anti-epidemic workers, which is usually used in meetings within the KGB. It is more inappropriate to shout in front of several secretaries of the Central Committee.

"Nothing, Comrade Dzerzhinsky's work attitude is very admirable!" In front of fifty-five tons of gold, Khrushchev showed extraordinary generosity, not to mention that even the internal vests of the KGB were printed with this sentence, and Khrushchev was not the first time to see it.

Compared to fifty-five tons of gold, a million rubles is a small amount of money. After the currency reform, the exchange rate of the Soviet ruble and the dollar was one to one, and this exchange rate would not change under the intervention of the dignity of the Soviet state. What is the concept of one ruble, in the summer you can buy fifty pounds of tomatoes from the market, and if you want to drink kvass, you can buy eight liters and drink it first. In the current situation where the Breston Woods system still exists, 5,000 rubles can theoretically buy more than 100 ounces of gold, an ounce is less than 30 grams, and a little more than 10 rubles can buy a gram of gold. Of course, gold was denominated in dollars, and it was impossible for these KGB soldiers to buy gold, but from within the Soviet Union it was undoubtedly a huge amount.

After the monetary reform of the Soviet Union, Serov's salary changed from 4,500 old rubles to 400 rubles, which is equivalent to what he, the first deputy chairman of the KGB, earns in a year. In fact, in terms of salary, Serov is even higher than Khrushchev, but it can't be counted as such. In terms of the amount of money that a single Soviet person could use, there was no one in the whole of the Soviet Union who could compare with the consumption of overseas agents of the First Main Directorate of the KGB. Those big overseas agents each have $100,000 in funds to use, and a spy king similar to Colonel Abel is as high as a million dollars.

Khrushchev cut the political status of the KGB, but did not weaken the treatment of the KGB, although the chairman of the KGB was not even a member of the Central Committee. It cannot be compared with the Soviet triumvirate of the Beria era, but the KGB staff is still the group with the highest average salary in the USSR, which is determined by the characteristics of the KGB's work.

Khrushchev, Kozlov, and Suslov were led to see these burdens, long gold chains, nuggets of various shapes, and many sculptures carved in gold, all of which proved the astonishing value of this wealth.

"We have heard rumors about the treasure of that temple for a long time, and after about a year of verification all over India, we have determined a relatively high possibility, and this time I went to India, and one of the small goals was to detect whether the treasure existed." Serov led several leaders on one side. Several pieces of equipment were also taken out as evidence, including, of course, the kind of metal detectors disguised as leather shoes.

"Very good, like a professional security expert, not only can protect our country, but also can keenly detect the loopholes in other national security systems." Kozlov nodded grimly, the gold in front of him could prove how good Serov's work was, which was more convincing than any comrade who could write a beautiful written report. If someone is not convinced, they can conjure up dozens of tons of gold like Serov.

"Thank you Second Secretary for the compliment!" Serov nodded politely. Kozlov's personality was very intense, and he partnered with the equally fiery Khrushchev. The two men had arguments from time to time, and later withdrew from the political arena because of a stroke. The luck of this second secretary is really bad, the stroke is something that cannot be defended against at all, and Serov just hopes that the time bomb in his body will explode later, otherwise Sherepin and Brezhnev will soon tear their faces apart.

Gold has different values from different perspectives. As several leaders of the Soviet Union, gold was just a metal in the eyes of Khrushchev's group, and if gold had any value, it was mainly reflected in credit. Ordinary people know that the country has a lot of gold, and naturally thinks that there will be no problems in the country. This works better than any propaganda.

"It's a shame to melt, if you add the artistic value, the value of this gold will be even higher!" Suslov touched a statue of Lord Shiva, which, although not large, weighed fifty or sixty pounds.

"Yuri, take this gold directly to the Central Bank, and I, Comrade Kozlov, and other comrades of the Presidium of the Central Committee will issue a resolution to you, you let the Central Bank take good care of it, and do not melt this gold!" Khrushchev looked around and ordered, and then drove away with Kozlov and Suslov.

This was the case with the banking system of the Soviet Union, which had a planned economy and some Eastern European countries, which had established similar banking systems. It is characterized by a small number of banks and a high concentration of credit. The banking system in these countries generally consists of a national bank that performs both central banking functions and specific credit operations, plus a few specialized banks.

At present, the banking systems of the Soviet Union, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland are based on a national bank with a wide range of operations as the central bank. It is the only issuing bank in the country and is the nation's credit and settlement center. The few remaining specialized banks are also easy to understand, and by adding these banks with prefixes, such as construction, agriculture, and transportation, Serov can easily understand what these banks are for.

After handing over this batch of gold to the Central Bank of the Soviet Union, Serov, as the first deputy chairman of the KGB, had to fulfill his duty, no cash transactions on credit, and send money to the soldiers of the secret police corps who participated in the operation, but he would not just send money, but also handed over to these soldiers There are also confidentiality agreements, which contain as many as 20 clauses, I really don't know how the two little girls of Isemotny and Lukani came up with it.

Serov, who returned to the Soviet Union after two months, met again with Comrade Leonid Brezhnev, chairman of the Supreme Soviet. Recently, the two have met a lot, and the number of times they have met is that Brezhnev does not know what to say. This time, he was awarded the medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union alone, in recognition of Serov's outstanding contributions to national security, standing in front of Brezhnev for the third time in six months, the first two times he was awarded the Order of Lenin, this time he finally became the Hero of the Soviet Union.

At the level of a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, no one is an ornament, not to mention that Brezhnev is the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and the size of his power is equivalent to that of Khrushchev's first secretary and chairman of the Council of Ministers.

But now Brezhnev felt that he should have more time to think, and Serov knew that he had gone abroad to investigate, and he took 200 people abroad, and the cost of it even aroused criticism from some departments. But as soon as this anti-anti-anti-

In fact, this award of the Hero of the Soviet Union is a reward for the treasure of India, but it cannot be said on the surface. How can this theft have anything to do with our great Soviets? Of course, it is to commend Comrade Serov, who has made great contributions to the national security work of the Soviet Union for a long time, cracking large-scale espionage cases one after another, saving Marshal Nedelin, and defeating the conspiracy of Great Turkism in Central Asia. As for Serov, who has been in charge of national security work for a long time, he is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, which is not an important matter.

After carefully checking Serov's achievements after presiding over the work of the KGB, the members of the Central Presidium felt that the three cases of Pyotr Popov, Pinkovsky and Benikovsky alone were enough to award Serov the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, not too early at all, but too late.

"I hope that Comrade Serov will continue to contribute to the Soviets and live up to the expectations of the party and the state for you." Brezhnev congratulated him with a pun, saying that he certainly knew that Serov had been awarded the medal for gold, but he, like other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, had consulted Serov's archives and believed that there was nothing wrong with the award, and that the young man deserved such an award.

"Thank you, Chairman Brezhnev, it is all under the leadership of all the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee that I have the opportunity to show my abilities!" In his heart, Serov of course took his honor for granted, but in front of Brezhnev, he had to admit with a clear conscience that he was still young and not enough to hang. Who made the other party the chairman of the Supreme Soviet......

Today, he came to accept the award just by the way, he still has a stack of materials in his arms, which is about India's perception of this expedition, Serov dares to use his conscience to guarantee that he will never hack India, but only record the real India of this era and hand it over to Khrushchev as a reference, as for the Kremlin bigwigs to stand on the moral high ground and ridicule India, this is completely out of his business. He just provided the most truthful information.

Serov, who often goes in and out of the Kremlin, has been refreshed his three views very early, and it is usually believed that these big men are absolutely wrong, and the things handled by these Soviet leaders are also a summary of things from all over the Soviet Union. In addition, both the first secretary and the chairman of the Council of Ministers are ordinary people, and as long as they want to, they can be as busy as ordinary people. (To be continued.) )
