"The state support I need can only be supported by the entire Soviet Union, because only the heads of the Central Presidium have the ability to do so, and if the KGB alone does so, the news may leak. The support I need is to block all news of this year's agricultural cuts for at least three months. Serov made a solemn request, "This kind of problem involving the grain of the whole country can only be handled by the Presidium of the Central Committee......

Since it is a scam, first of all, as a liar, you must show that the Soviet Union does not need food, and even show your disdain for the Sultan, restrain the impulse in your heart, and absolutely not reveal the slightest hint of interest in the Sudanese corn warehouse. Even if there is, it can't be admitted, and it's better to push it to Bulgaria or some other country.

"You can guarantee that you can solve the food supply of the Soviet Union, so what reason do I, as the first secretary of the Soviet Union, not give the support that a young cadre should need? Those local cadres who made mistakes can be postponed. Serov is thinking about time, Khrushchev is also thinking about time, there is still a whole year before the next congress, and there are still three months before the next Central Committee member and the opening of the congress, if the time is controlled within three months, Khrushchev is not in a hurry.

"It should not be a big problem to upgrade the food industry in exchange for increasing the added value of agriculture, after all, Sudan also needs a certain industry, if General Aboud does not agree? I'll kill him, no one can make the Soviet people hungry, and he can't! Serov said these words with a terrible look in his eyes, clearly prepared for the worst.

At this time, Serov showed the true face of a KGB, what if he felt that there were too many problems of the people? Answer; Solve all the people who have problems. The rich peasants of Ukraine, who resisted the Soviets' purchase of grain, preferred to burn the grain rather than hand over the surplus grain to the state to complete industrialization, and Stalin's method was this. The elimination of the Ukrainian kulaks of the antagonist country as a class as a whole, Western Ukraine has always been an unstable region of the Soviet Union, and has always maintained its own maverick behavior, if these Ukrainians are always dishonest, and when the day comes, Serov will allow Ukraine to do nothing but farming. There is nothing left.

Perhaps because he saw the dawn of the solution of the agricultural problem, Khrushchev did not care about Serov's unpleasant expression, he trusted the young cadres very much, judging from the age structure, these young cadres should not be a threat to him, and the leaders of the entire Soviet Union were not more willing to let young people play a greater role than themselves, so neither Sherepin, Semychasny nor Serov had any reason to oppose him. Khrushchev is 67 years old this year, and he is not sure how long he can live, and he can be handed over after a few years of work......

"But it's still going to be fast. Be sure to get your hands on Sudan's corn before next autumn's harvest, and I'll give you half a year to do it to ensure maximum success. Now Khrushchev finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally avoided the embarrassment of using foreign exchange to buy grain, and sang in one breath, "Winter is coming soon, and the supply and storage of vegetables is also a problem, but the problem of not having food is serious." The promotion of maize is also not going well, and our food problem is really worrying. ”

Vegetable? Is this also a problem? So be it. A strange expression leaked from Serov's face, which was noticed by Brezhnev, who had been observing Serov, and asked, "Yuri, you are the most outstanding security cadre in the KGB in the past ten years, and I believe that there is no one in the KGB who knows all the information in the world better than you." Since the food supply you can solve, what about vegetables? ”

Vegetable? Isn't that a problem with the Fruits and Vegetables Department? The name of the Ministry of Fruits and Vegetables is very earthy, but it is a department of the same level as the Ministry of the Petroleum Industry, which is subordinate to the Department of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, of course. This is still not unsolvable for Serov, who has seen many things in his time, such as a solution to the problem of growing vegetables in the Soviet winter. This method is applied in northern China.

"Yes, it's not impossible, but it's already November this year, and it will take some time since the implementation of my idea! But now we can talk about the specific plan, the Netherlands began to use vegetable greenhouses for planting at the beginning of this century, using the method of regulating temperature and sunshine to grow vegetables, our Soviet land is very cold, many places can not grow vegetables for the rest of the time after the grain harvest, only a limited number of varieties of vegetables can be planted. Serov thought for a while, decided to scare a few big people in front of him, using the United States as the most suitable target, in his impression that the promotion of vegetable greenhouses in the United States was in the sixties, and directly said, "The United States is currently promoting this technology in agriculture......

Finding it a bit incomprehensible to say this, Serov begged Khrushchev to prepare pen and paper, and his art lessons were not learned in vain, although he only learned sketching, but it was enough. Vegetable greenhouses are everywhere in the black soil, Serov's hometown grain self-sufficiency rate in his previous life was the highest in the country of 307 percent, that is to say, the province's population of nearly 40 million can feed a little 500 million people, well, even if the Soviets did not have the Chinese to spend so much effort on food, but the black soil of Ukraine is larger than his hometown, 300 percent should always reach it, the fact is that Ukraine's potential is far from being tapped, it is simply ashamed of this good place, If the Soviet Union's operation in Ukraine failed, then after independence, Ukraine once again refreshed the lower limit, democracy has been triumphing, and Ukraine is facing new defeats every year......

It took a few minutes to draw a vegetable greenhouse in front of several leaders, and Serov still introduced the main role, "The leaders understand that the demand for vegetables is far less urgent than food, because vegetables cannot replace the filling effect of food. Therefore, it is no problem to build a vegetable greenhouse base to supply Moscow and other large cities, this is the power brought to us by the progress of science, and it is the fact that human beings have overcome the limitations of natural conditions with their own hands......"

"For the supply of vegetables for 6.2 million residents of the capital, I think we need 3,000 square hectares of vegetable greenhouse area, that is, 30 square kilometers of vegetable greenhouse area." Serov wanted to say fifty square kilometers, so that the supply of winter vegetables for the whole of Moscow could be fully met, but the words were taken back when it came to his lips, and in case he failed, it would not be good to hold him responsible.

To be honest, Serov's words are already very conservative, in the previous life, the area of greenhouses in their province was more than fifty times the entire number.

"No, General Serov, according to the minimum consumption of 6.2 million people, at least seventy square kilometers of vegetable greenhouse area is needed!" As the deputy chairman in charge of the defense industry, Ustinov is very sensitive to all kinds of figures, and when he thinks about it, he understands that there is a problem with Serov's calculations. Serov calculated according to the appetite of the Chinese, while Ustinov calculated according to the appetite of the old Maozi, so this deviation appeared.

"We already have channels for the supply of vegetables, and we don't need so much, of course, the main problem is that in the first year we will be experimental, and then in different dimensions of the city, and then the whole country, this is my opinion, Comrade Ustinov!" Serov commented very cautiously, he didn't want to take too big a step to pull the egg to happen to him, the temperature in the Soviet Union was colder than his hometown, in case he didn't get it done well in the first year, Khrushchev didn't pick his skin?

Khrushchev nodded approvingly, discussed with Brezhnev for a while, and finally looked at Serov and said, "Very good, it sounds very feasible, Yuri is not a person who likes to boast, it seems that he is very cautious in doing things from his previous work experience, I can agree with your suggestion in the name of the meeting of the Central Presidium, promote vegetable greenhouses, work hard and don't let the party and the country down......"

"Well, as a Communist, I will do everything in my power to ensure that there is no defeat! The KGB never disappointed the first secretary! Serov almost said that only by sniffing out and eradicating the traitor was fortunately quick to react, so he did not pat his chest regardless of the occasion.

There will be food, cheat! Vegetables will also be available, build! On a trip to the Kremlin, as a spy chief, he received back two tasks that did not belong to his authority, it doesn't matter, those who can work hard! Serov was not a calculating person, and immediately after returning to the KGB he summoned biologists left behind by Academician Sukachev in the Main Directorate of Military Administration, to discuss related issues.

It was much easier to discuss the problem of vegetable greenhouses with these biologists, Serov just described the basic operation, and immediately aroused the interest of many scientists, and there was no need to draw a sketch to tell them, this was the job of these scientists who were driven out by Lysenko, and there was no need for a half-baked person to teach them here. Serov just put forward the idea, and the rest of the thing is that these people are talking, and Serov is listening, and the more he listens, the more he feels that it makes sense.

"Rest assured, Deputy Chairman Serov, we will help you complete the construction of this vegetable greenhouse base, and we, the agronomists, promise to contribute our due contribution to the supply of vegetables to the people of the capital!" For such statements, looking at the scientists who have already gray hair, Serov must give them applause.

Early the next morning, Brezhnev, who was still at home, received a notice from Serov from the Second Main Directorate of the KGB that Galina ? Brezhneva went to work in the 7th Department of the 2nd Main Directorate of the KGB, and the work of the 7th Department was to deal with foreign tours throughout the Soviet Union, which, of course, could not be entrusted to Brezhneva, but gave the woman the opportunity to travel throughout the country.
