Sherepin also knew that the problem was in his earlier considerations, and he knew that Serov was far more suitable than Semychasny to take charge of the powerful department of the KGB, but because of his age, he would have to wait for a while. But during this time, Sherepin could not watch unfamiliar people take control of the KGB, which would add a lot of variables. So he recommended Shemychasny, whom he trusted very much, to Khrushchev.

As soon as Semychasny arrived in the KGB, he felt uncomfortable, and the people in all departments had already been arranged, and the leaders of the major directorates were all looking forward to Serov, as if he, the chairman of the KGB, had become a dispensable existence. The key is that Semychasny turned out to be Serov's undisputed boss, and after a few years, this situation is inevitably a little uncomfortable.

This time, Sherepin gathered his friends to his home, which was to promote the cooperation between the two and concentrate their forces on one point. As for suppressing Serov, he didn't think about it, first of all, Serov is also a friend of his own hand, no different from Semychasny and Egorechev, and moreover, Serov, who has just completed his trip to India, knocked on the hearts of all the members of the Central Presidium with 55 tons of gold, and the sense of existence brushed out with gold will not change color in a short time.

"Some of you are making too much of a fuss, there is no discord between me and Volodya, it is normal to have some contradictions at work, after all, we are not all thinking and doing things." Serov explained lightly, "The reason why I stopped the operation on the border is because the KGB intelligence network is not easy to form, it was done by us for decades, and it is not worth giving up because of tens of thousands of border people, this is my opinion......"

From the point of view of the KGB, there is no problem at all. Even Sherepin nodded in agreement with this explanation. From this point of view, Sherepin also thinks that Semychasny's plan is somewhat ill-conceived. As it was, tens of thousands of laborers were not worth this kind of plan, and even if it succeeded, it would be a lose-lose situation, and the KGB discarded its intelligence network, which also attracted the resentment of China. Why bother, the benefits are not worth paying at all.

"That plan was a bit ill-conceived!" Semychasny was also reluctant to say much about this, and after the assessment, almost all the members of the KGB presidium thought it was inexplicable, and even he now considered the plan too whimsical, and he did not even want to mention it now.

"Since it's a matter of work, everyone is a friend, so don't take it seriously in each other's hearts! We are all young people and have bigger goals for the future. Because this kind of trivial contradiction itself is not worth it! With a wave of his hand, Sherepin concluded, "Yula's work on national security is recognized by almost all members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and the first secretary also trusts him very much!" The KGB is only in the process, and to know that to play a greater role, we need to go through the experience of different departments! ”

For now, at least, Sherepin has plenty of prestige and time to suppress the discord in his own group. It's not a big deal to have conflicts within a group. It is not normal for everyone to be harmonious and ironclad. Even in Brezhnev's group, Kirilenko and Chernenko did not have a good relationship. But in the general direction, the same is the same as Brezhnev's horse. For example, cadres who are often together have already been branded with the group, which cannot be changed.

"Cheers, it's a good thing that Tikunov was awarded the Order of Lenin for finding the third Baku!" Sherepin raised his glass in congratulations, "And Yura." became the first Hero of the Soviet Union in our group, everyone raise a glass and celebrate our friends today......"

"Cheers!" Egorechev, Goryunov, Meshatsev and Semychasny raised their glasses, and Serov and Tikunov smiled and nodded, and drank the vodka in their glasses.

Now many of Sherepin's group have become cadres of no low status. Unless everyone has free time, they will not be greedy, and they will finish their meals after a short time, and each of them will find a topic to enter the stage of small talk.

"Recently, I've been staring at the situation in India, and I feel uncomfortable when I return home!" Serov hiccuped and said to Semychasny next to him, "It's a pity that this year's vacation has run out, otherwise I would really go out for a spin......"

"Haven't turned enough? You've been out for two months at a time! Semychas replied absent-mindedly, he had a sense of frustration in his heart, he had worked so hard, and Serov had become a Hero of the Soviet Union after two months abroad, did he do worse than him? Semychasny did not know about the gold, and the only people who knew about it were members of the Presidium of the Central Committee plus Shelepin, who did not tell him......

"The earth is so big, of course I haven't turned ......enough," Serov said with certainty, "Valya often told me that I must go out and walk more while I am young, otherwise I will have no strength when I am old......"

You're so obedient! For Serov's words, Semychasny did not want to comment at all, it was the first time he had seen such a person who took women's words seriously, and it seemed that the title of Catherine III should not be given to Fortseva, but to Valya.

After Sherepin's mediation, Semychasny should be able to suppress the strange emotions in his heart in a short time, but Serov clearly felt a contradiction brewing in his heart, and it seems that there will be stories in the future. But he was not afraid, except for his age, he did not consider himself worse than Semychasny, from the trust of the leadership to the relationship with colleagues, he was stronger than Semychasny, who was the supreme leader of the USSR? Who organized Khrushchev and the major directorates of the KGB, and who promoted most of the cadres? It's him Serov, if he really wants to fight, Semychasny will only bring humiliation on himself. He is not afraid of age, rank, or merit. As long as the slightest hint of hostility leaked from Semychasny, Serov, who also worked in the Lubyanka, would immediately know.

In the evening, Tikunov and Semychasny left Shelepin's house together, and Tikunov, who was sitting in the same car, sat in the co-pilot's seat, as more and more reserves were discovered in the third Baku, as the deputy minister who led the exploration team, he was also praised by the Central Presidium, at this time Tikunov was in a very good mood, looking at the driving a little silent Semychasny said, "Volodya, Yula's attitude towards safety work is difficult to be influenced by others, don't think too much......"

"I didn't think much about it, everyone works in the same department, it's normal to have friction!" Semychasny replied by looking ahead.

Seeing Semychasny's attitude, Tikunov knew that he did not listen to his words, and do not forget that he was also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he started working in the powerful department much earlier than Semychasny and Serov.

Serov's work in the KGB can be said to have been in the sight of Tikunov, who watched Serov go from deputy in a department, to director of the General Directorate, to deputy chairman, to first deputy chairman with full responsibility, and even to keep alongside himself. To tell the truth, this is the fastest promoted security cadre Tikunov saw after Stalin's death. The security cadres who rose faster than him were not in this era at all. If the two fight, Tikunov is not optimistic about Semychasny at all.

"I hope you, like me, can look down on this matter after changing departments...... "Tikunov, who got out of the car, looked at Semychasny in the distance and said to himself, he can understand Semychasny's feelings, it is not easy to see the status of the little brother on a par with himself, he has also had this mood, the same when facing Serov.

At the KGB headquarters on Lubyanka Square, in the office of the first deputy chairman of the KGB, Serov listened to a report by the head of the Main Directorate of the Secret Police, Major General Kadpov, on the results of the recent crackdown on religious forces and local nationalism in the country. In fact, there is nothing new, it is nothing more than the arrest of hundreds of people here and hundreds of people there, this kind of petty fight, which happens every month or two, can almost be regarded as a regular report of the General Directorate of the Secret Police.

"This kind of petty fight will not make a big difference, of course, it is still possible to maintain the current good situation, directly send the arrested people to Kazan and follow the thieves to Cuba, and get these people as far away as possible!" Serov waved his hand in an attitude of not being out of sight and out of mind. Sooner or later, these people will have to do their best for the pluralistic society of the United States, and he is not prepared to persecute these imams. Even these people say that the Soviet Union persecuted them, and Serov is ready to admit this black cauldron, because it will make it easier for them to stay in the United States and get funding, scold the Soviet Union for political correctness, and then get a green card and receive dog food, Serov is completely acceptable.

It is better for Americans to invest in these people than to take money to go to the arms race, and Serov is ready to develop an industrial chain of smuggling in the United States and contribute to the American economy.

"Well, I'm Serov, Comrade Shikov of the Lebedev Institute of Physics? Okay, I got it! Serov put down the phone, "Isemotny, help me prepare a car for the Lebedev Institute of Physics......"

I took a deep breath, and my face was full of joy. Walked to the side of the house, put on a hat, and went directly to the Lebedev Institute of Physics, and finally, the Soviet Union succeeded in drilling. When Serov grabbed a bunch of cubic zirconia from the vessel, he knew where the KGB's funding came from this year, and science and technology were indeed the primary productive forces......

Shikov conducted a synthesis experiment in front of Serov in order to show the leading KGB supporter how the experiment had succeeded, even though Serov did not care about the problem at all. (To be continued.) )
