Chapter 488: Pugo
"Overall it's not bad!" Serov, who was incarnated as a contractor, nodded with satisfaction, "Some basic facilities must be done well in the public baths, swimming pools, and gyms in each community, and the cinema is not needed, and the people from the three departments of the National Security Council, the NKVD and the Military Intelligence Service combined cannot reach the number of people equipped with cinemas, and the capital is not a relatively remote collective farm, and there are kindergartens and schools that are not needed, but the gas station can be considered to set up one. These facilities can be completed in the entire consortium after the completion of the community. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Speaking out his ideal ideas in detail, Serov mentioned these things to the Minister of Internal Affairs Serokov, and at the same time told Brezhnev and Sherepin, who were present, about this plan.
The supporting facilities in this kind of planned economy pursue something small and complete, no matter how small the place should be. Even a forest farm with just over a thousand people will have this kind of thing, such as kindergartens, schools, and movies. It's not that Serov hasn't seen this kind of small but complete supporting facilities, but it was basically a decoration when he was a few years old. When I was a child, the movie theater in the forest farm was finally closed, and the movie theater of the Forestry Bureau was finally sold and demolished to become a shopping mall.
This is also a matter of no way, the most important thing for state-owned enterprises is to raise people, and the Chinese population is the first in the world. There are five or six hundred people in the enterprise who should do the work at the same time, and even if there is a profit, the salary alone can eat all the profits. Not to mention some unspoken reasons.
Take the forestry work that Serov is most familiar with, if a wood products processing plant is on the Sino-Soviet border, the first problem will be encountered, that is, forestry logging is mostly in winter, because the logging roads in the mountains cannot be entered except in winter, and every time the logging will stop as long as it is spring, because the road will sink the vehicles full of timber into it, and it is impossible to build cement roads, because the mountains are uneven, and the cement roads will slip when it snows in winter, which will cause traffic accidents. In the event of a traffic accident involving a heavy truck loaded with timber, only the car is destroyed and people are killed. In addition, the harvesting area is different every year, and if you build a road, you may not need it next year.
Is it because of the different harvesting areas that a new road is built every year? Let's not talk about this problem, every road needs regular maintenance, even if it is a cement road to maintain, as we all know that the winter in the Northeast is relatively cold, belonging to the kind of climate of 30 degrees in summer and minus 30 degrees in winter, the basic principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction of this climate is more powerful, so a road in the Northeast often needs much more cement than in the south, because the cement layer of this road must be thick. It stands to reason that such a road can be used for many years as long as it is built, but in fact, this is not the case, the cement road itself in the mountainous area is not easy to be affected by the terrain, and it is easy to crack and turn over the slurry in winter and summer.
The second problem arises when a log is stored when it comes down from the harvesting area, because the harvesting season is in winter, so the production season is also in winter, and in the case of Serov's hometown, the temperature during the day is about minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter. In this case, people can no longer work outdoors, so the temperature needs to be maintained in the factory. The produced wood products should not be left outside, and some specific things must be dried immediately and cannot be left outside to freeze. Therefore, a huge drying kiln building is needed, and the drying kiln plant needs to burn coal. The temperature and wood drying have been continuously guaranteed, whether it is the construction of the drying kiln or the subsequent coal, it is money.
So the same factory that produces the same product, one works in the climate of the Sino-Soviet border, the other does the same thing in the Yellow River Valley, even if it is very far away from the raw material production area on the edge of the Yellow River, the things produced are far cheaper than the factories on the Sino-Soviet border. Coupled with the fact that the factory in the Yellow River basin is much closer to the populated area than the factory on the Sino-Soviet border, the cost of transporting raw materials can be saved from the next link.
The end result was that the factories on the Sino-Soviet border could not sell their products because of the high cost, and if the boss wanted to continue, he would either move the factories or honestly sell raw materials, close the production links, and sell resources.
So why is there always a gap between the rich and the poor in capitalist countries? Because the foundation of the place where a person lives is different, if two places with different foundations are allowed to compete, and the place with good conditions pays the same effort, the advantage of the former will naturally become greater and greater.
The environment in most parts of the Soviet Union was even more extreme than Serov's hometown, and in order to ensure the interests of the whole country, it was necessary to use the methods of the Planned Economy Committee to balance this disadvantage. Any sign of capitalism would turn the Soviet Union into a supplier of raw materials, and the vast majority of products would be defeated by foreign products, except for high-tech products, which were less constrained by this factor. The Soviet Union's high technology is far from being able to beat others, at least the United States, which is in the temperate zone, is stronger than the Soviet Union.
Serov would not reform the economy of the Soviet Union, and if he had to, he would find ways to strengthen the advantages of the planned economy, and he would not even think about opening the market to allow domestic products to compete with foreign products. It is possible to consider finding a way to open the markets of other countries, and it is a dream to open up one's own markets, unless the other side is a member of the Economic and Mutual Economic Association, and the Soviet Union has the means to regulate this trade.
This kind of small but complete layout, Serov feels very good, he has everything, and it doesn't look worse than that of capitalist countries, if you build a house in the Soviet Union, if you use the same materials, and compare it with countries with good climates, it will appear that the cost of building it is higher than that of other countries, and when you want to demolish it when you are backward, the cost of demolition is also higher than that of other countries.
Therefore, while building housing for people in the field of security throughout the Soviet Union, Serov must ensure that such houses cannot be left behind for decades, using whatever new technology there is, and using whatever new materials there are. If you find that you need to replace the old materials after 10 years, it is another problem.
Now it seems that this result is quite satisfactory, Serov and Serokov are very satisfied, and Brezhnev and Sherepin, who came to inspect the inspection, are also very satisfied, and everyone is very happy. The Khrushchev Building influenced the planning of China's communities, and Serov let go of the Soviet community to build a Soviet community with China's 21st century community, and no one owes anyone except those gymnasiums and swimming pool facilities.
"Very well, Shurik, this is what we need, and that's what our socialist neighborhood is all about." Brezhnev visited the area and said to Sherepin with great satisfaction, "If this kind of community is extended to the whole of the Soviet Union, I don't think the people need to worry about housing." ”
"Yes, that's good, I think Yuri probably cheated the whole world for the appearance of this kind of house." Sherepin replied with a smile, and then turned his head sideways and asked Serov, "Isn't that Yuri?" ”
"The construction of socialism needs to fill some gaps, is this kind of behavior called stealing? Our department itself is doing this kind of work, and even if it is stolen, it is stolen for the sake of building socialism and for the sake of the people. Serov categorically denied his boss's accusations, and after a long time, it boiled down to one sentence, stealing capitalists is not called stealing.
Aluminum alloy windows from the United States, interior doors from France, house layouts from Germany, floors from Italy, memories of Serov, and the abundant raw material resources of the Soviet Union itself eventually piled up into this neighborhood.
"After the construction of the community, I have no opinion on the promotion issue, anyway, this does not belong to our KGB itself, and I naturally have no objection to benefiting all the people, but other departments may not have as many advantages as us, they are not involved in foreign affairs, so there may be some problems in cost, and our KGB will try its best to help other departments solve this problem." Serov thought for a moment.
"It's enough to have your words, you can also hand over some things to Serokov, Yura, you are already so busy, and Serokov can also help you in some places." Brezhnev said with concern, just like a kind old man who cares about his subordinates, and he may be deceived if he is someone else.
"I will, of course the Ministry of Internal Affairs is important." Serov's answer is also not leaky, anyway, you are the second secretary, you have the final say, as long as you don't want to remove me, we can talk about everything.
Brezhnev and Sherepin stayed for a while and then left the construction site, and Serov stayed here for a while and said to Serokov, "As long as the tiles are finished, you can move in in September, and before that, check the gas and water pipelines, if there are no problems." ”
Because the safety cadres are all over the country, of course, the energy of the community must not be the same, natural gas is used where there is natural gas, and coal is burned near the coal mine, because the planning is different in different places.
With this kind of chairman, what else do people in the security system need to worry about? Serov has thought of almost all the problems that come to mind, even the toilets have been equipped, and in order to prevent the price of toilets from rising, he has also used an intelligence network all over the world to track prices, and he has done it to this point, and I believe there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. Of course, this is not for nothing, the welfare of the personnel of the entire Soviet security system for the next three years has been cut to nothing, this is not the additional welfare of the KGB, but even the firewood, rice, oil and salt have been cut clean.
In the blink of an eye, Serov slipped away again and ran to Latvia, where there was a city with more than 100,000 people, all of whom were lazy Soviet versions of the Sanhe Great God, and he came to see how this group of people who could rest for three days in one day was doing. By his side was Pugo. (To be continued.) )
