There is a kind of flag that can make your heart flutter at a glance, and the flag of the USSR deserves such a meaning. No one has ever dared to express communism blatantly, and no one has dared to imprint the entire earth on their national coat of arms. The founders of the Soviet Union chose this symbol to express their ideas, and they were destined to face unprecedented suffering.

Probably, as the Communist Manifesto says, the Communists disdain to conceal their views and intentions. They openly declared that their goal could only be achieved by violently overthrowing the entire existing social system. Let the ruling class tremble in the face of the communist revolution. What the proletarians have lost in this revolution is only chains. What they will gain will be the whole world.

The founders of the Soviet Union chose such an idea as the criterion for the establishment of the Soviet Union, so no matter what difficulties will be faced and what tests are waiting for the Soviet Union, they should adhere to their ideals and continue to move forward.

"What is not lacking in this world is temporary difficulties! It can only be called a temporary ......," Serov looked at the red flag opposite the control room building and said, not only to cheer himself up, but also to convince himself that you are doing the right thing, and you must believe that your position is not wrong, and the result of the Cold War does not show that the United States is more just, it is just one part of the spiral. They can't eliminate the communist ideology unless the Americans can eliminate the class.

Serov, who witnessed Gagarin's ascension, could not help but feel excited, standing by the window of the corridor and lighting a cigarette in front of the Soviet flag. In fact, all the people in the control room, regardless of rank or occupation, were immersed in jubilation.

All the previous tension was sent out, and there was such a cathartic outburst today. Even through the heavy iron doors, Serov could feel the excitement in the control room. Raise your wrist and glance at the time. As soon as he wanted to go in to remind him, he saw that the door had been pushed open, and Lieutenant General Valentin, director of the Sixth General Bureau, was stunned for a moment when he saw Serov in the smoke, and hurriedly said, "Everything is going well at the moment, it seems that we should make some preparations!" ”

"Immediately prepare the transport plane, the Interior Guard at the place of the landing of Comrade Gagarin is ready. Get ready to meet our space heroes! Serov narrowed his eyes and said, "Has Commander-in-Chief Korolev already calculated where Gagarin landed?" ”

"The landing site, according to earlier calculations, should be in the Saratov region, southeast of Engels City!" Lieutenant General Valenkyin replied.

"Immediately send a telegram to the KGB office of the Saratov region and the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs to prepare the local forces, which seems to be the middle ground between the border military district and the garrison of the Internal Guard, and inform the troops who are close to each other to rush there immediately. It's time to welcome our space heroes! Serov, who had finished giving the order, thought for a moment and added, "Bring the camera, this will be the most precious material, so far we are perfect, don't make mistakes on such small issues......"

As he spoke, Serov had already arrived at the door of the control room, opened the door and looked at the atmosphere inside, which had not yet calmed down. He reminded, "Distinguished comrades, comrades in chief, and leaders, Lieutenant General Valengin have already prepared transport planes, and we are about to rush to the place where Gagarin will land in the Saratov region, are there any preparations to come together?" ”

"I'm going to see Yuri, and I have a lot of questions to ask him to figure out!" Sergei? Korolev vs. Klim? Aliyevich? Crimo spoke almost at the same time, saying the same thing, and at the same time stunned for a moment, but both held on to their thoughts.

"Comrade Gagarin has not yet returned. An expert needs to stay in the control room to command! Serov didn't want to make the two most valuable experts of the Soviet Union so tired and to say something unkind. The lives of two people are much more important than his.

"Krim, stay here and continue to command! I followed General Serov to the Saratov region! "Sergey? Korolev looked into Serov's eyes and said very seriously, "I believe that we are the most professional security cadres in the Soviet Union......

"The KGB has never failed anyone's trust, follow me!" The scientist's words touched a chord in Serov's heart, but now he didn't have time to move, and immediately used the walkie-talkie to contact Lieutenant General Valentin, who was outside. The two are about to get into the already prepared military transport aircraft.

"First Deputy Chairman, local cadres of the KGB and the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Saratov Region have called back and are ready to welcome our space heroes!" Lieutenant General Valentin, who was already waiting on the transport plane, saw Serov and Korolev approaching, followed by a squad of border guard fighters, heavily armed and carrying parachute bags behind them. It can be seen that the KGB has made emergency preparations for various possible situations.

The veteran pilot signaled that there was no problem, and the transport plane accelerated and slowly left the airport in Baikonur.

At this time, Gagarin began to cross the South Pacific. Gagarin replied in a high-frequency signal: "I am sending a regular report message: the flight is normal. …… The descending status indicates that it is moving. Air pressure 1, humidity 65, temperature 20, cabin air pressure 1.2, manual system 150, first automatic system 155, second automatic system 155, return rocket air pressure 320 atmospheres, I feel good......"

Forty-one minutes later, Gagarin reported that he was on the night side of the Earth.

Forty-four minutes after liftoff, Gagarin reported that the Sun Finding and Altitude Control system had been turned on. This system is used for orientation on the return of Vostok 1. There are two redundant systems for the automatic return system: an automatic solar positioning system and an artificial vision positioning system, each of which can operate two redundant propulsion systems containing 10 kg of nitrogen.

Forty-six minutes after liftoff, the Khabarovsk ground station sent the following message to Gagarin via a high-frequency signal: "By order of General Kamanin, the transmitter has been turned on, and we send the following message: the flight is proceeding as planned, and the orbit is not deviating from the plan. "They told Gagarin that Vostok 1 is in a stable orbit. Gagarin accepted this information.

Fifty minutes after the launch, Gagarin's Vostok 1 passed through the Strait of Magellan. The news of Vostok 1 was broadcast on Moscow Radio, and like many of Sherepin's friends, Meshatsev, chairman of the Soviet Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, who was already in a position of high power at a young age, did not make him so excited by the usual news. But today's news from Baikonur made it difficult for him to hide his excitement, so Meshatsev chose one of the sweetest female announcers to broadcast to the whole Soviet Union, informing the people of the Union that the world's first astronaut had gone into space.

"This is Radio Moscow! Now there's an exciting piece of news to announce for the whole league! The sweet voice of the announcer attracted the entire capital, "At 9:07 Moscow time, at the Baikonur Space Center, our cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin called the Vostok 1 spacecraft successfully entered outer space, perhaps flying over your heads, today is a day worthy of deep remembrance by the whole Union, this time Comrade Gagarin in the sky reflects the powerful scientific and technological capabilities of the Soviets, four years ago we sent the first artificial satellite of mankind into space, and today Comrade Gagarin has become the first astronaut of mankind, This proves that socialist countries are more creative than capitalist countries......"

The gates of the camp were rudely opened, and one after another military vehicles carrying border guard soldiers with KGB epaulettes left the camp. The people next to the barracks of the entire Saratov region suddenly noticed that almost all the barracks were moving at the same time, just when people did not know what was happening. The radio station on the street sounded at the right time, "This is the department of the Party Committee and the State Council of Ministers of the Saratov Region, today the Saratov Region will welcome a guest, Comrade Gagarin, the first astronaut in the history of mankind, will land on the territory of our Saratov Region after completing a week of flight around the Earth, if anyone hits the landing of the spaceship, please do not panic, immediately report to the KGB Office and the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs, and we will immediately rush to the scene......"

At the same time, the flying boat passed through Egypt and the Mediterranean, flying over the west coast of Cyprus and central Turkey. In the process of reducing the altitude, the Vostok 1 return capsule entered the territory of the USSR from near Krasnodar on the Black Sea coast. Gagarin experienced an overload of 8G, but remained awake. Since Gagarin's parachute opened at a higher height than the spacecraft's parachute opened, Gagarin landed ten minutes after the spacecraft landed. Both Gagarin and the spacecraft landed in Saratov Oblast, southeast of Engels City.

A farmer and his daughter, who saw the spacecraft land, saw a huge spherical object land, and a few minutes later Gagarin, dressed in an orange spacesuit, came out of it. A few hours later, when Serov and Korolev landed at the Saratov regional airport, they were immediately led to the place where Gagarin had landed, "Have you prepared the cameras ready?" ”

"It's ready, like you said, it's going to be first-hand!" The head of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Saratov region said that to tell the truth, Serov did not know this person, but the director of the bureau, who attended the meeting of security cadres last year, naturally knew his young and excessive boss.

This place has been surrounded by border guards, except for the person who landed on the spot Gagarin, everyone who was ready to watch the excitement was isolated, looking at Gagarin, who was still in good spirits, Serov stepped forward and gave the first person in space a hug, in fact, the idea in his heart at this time was very simple, just hoping to leave a place for himself in this precious video material.
