"Is there any news on that? The loss of this batch of timber is too great! "This is really a problem, don't think that wood can be stored for a long time, depending on the tree species, many different trees have been stored for a long time, and there will be a series of problems such as cracking, mold, oil, etc., although Serov has not been specifically exposed to specific work, but he has seen a lot from childhood to adulthood.

As a result of the reclamation of Primorye, a huge amount of timber was piled up in the bulldozed area, with all kinds of trees, and towering lumber yards were built next to the farms, and the logs were piled up dozens of meters high, forming huge wooden flutes.

If these woods are not processed this year, no one can say how much success will be after a year of wind and rain next year.

"A Japanese businessman came to ask the local party committee of Primorsky Krai and said that he wanted to buy a batch of timber. But! When he said this, Admiral Zeyanov was a little embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

"But after calculations, it was found that the Japanese kept the price very low, lower than in previous years, right? Normally, Japanese businessmen never make mistakes when calculating such small accounts, but they don't make big calculations! Leaving the T62 tank crew, the two were silent along the way. Although the two were not professional accountants, the KGB did not lack any talents, and some people could understand the account, and selling them to the Japanese would not help the other party to pick up a big bargain. The Japanese were enemies, and according to Serov at the time of the KGB meeting, there was no country called Japan at all, only a place called American Japan.

"The Japanese are really well informed, this year we reclaimed the land in the Far East, and we immediately smelled it and came to it! Wanting to take advantage of us...... Serov gritted his back molars, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce had offices in the Far East of the USSR, and it was not surprising to get the news of Soviet reclamation, just like he said, the Japanese never make mistakes when calculating costs, but they often make wrong judgments in the pattern, not to mention that Japan was already controlled by the United States, "how much wood is needed to build a collective farm?" ”

Serov had already made up his mind that no one should try to take advantage of him. He had to eat this batch of wood as best he could.

"The collective farms will certainly not be able to eat so much timber, and there will not be many people in the Far East at all!" Admiral Zeyanov is telling the truth, Serov knows that in the fifties and sixties China's timber production was still above the Soviet Union, because the Chinese had this demand, and the Soviet Union did not have so many people in the territory of Asia, so there was not such a large amount of logging. At this time, the forests of Northeast China were still very rich, so there was no demand for imports in China, and this was not the 21st century.

"There is no shortage of lakes in Primorsky Krai!" Serov suddenly remembered the climate in his homeland, and that before the population exploded, there were many wetlands and lakes in the Far East, including the northeast, and that China was so small, and that the Soviet Union should have remained untouched.

"Of course, there is no shortage, in addition to Xingkai Lake, which is jointly managed with China, we also have many lakes and reservoirs!" Admiral Zeyanov is very familiar with Primorye, where the plains are concentrated in the border with China, and the largest lake is the Xingkai Lake, which is jointly administered by China, and there are many other lakes in the area, and the scenery is quite good.

"The local State Security Agency and the General Directorate of Internal Affairs were ordered to empty all lumber yards within 100 kilometers of the lake's waters, and all timber sank into the lake." Serov said to the letter, "I'll take care of the rest of the lumberyard reserves." ”

Wood storage in the open air is undoubtedly a very wasteful behavior, but it is not impossible, this method is water, the vast majority of wood is not afraid of soaking, wood will deteriorate in the open air for a year, but it is not a problem for ten or eight years under water. In the 21st century, my hometown fished out a large number of logs harvested in the 70s from the lake, and there was no problem except for some green hairs or soaking off the bark. The storage method is to make sure that the whole log is in water, half on the surface and half in the water, and the wood will rot.

It's not that Serov is patriotic, but that he can't stand the Japanese who are obviously taking advantage of you and you are taking advantage. In fact, this kind of behavior is the same as the capitalists who would rather sink milk to the Mississippi River than reduce the price, I will not let you lower the price when I sink into the lake, if it doesn't work, it won't work.

"Okay, I'll do it, but as the reclamation continues, the timber is still being transported down the mountain." Admiral Zeyanov warned Serov not to underestimate the amount of timber produced by the reclamation campaign, which was just the beginning.

"I know what I know!" Serov waved his hand, and the two took separate cars at the gate of the Dzerzhinsky division station and returned to their headquarters. Returning to Lubyanka Square 11, Serov immediately asked Servanov to send a telegram to all weapons research institutes to inquire, remembering that the Soviet explosive reactive armor should have been introduced in this era.

The concept of explosive reactive armor was first proposed in 1949 by Professor Lavredev of the Moscow Prumiti Institute, and further research and experiments were carried out by the Soviet Research Institute of Iron and Steel in the following decade. Another important reason for the "late maturity" of Soviet explosive reactive armor was the extensive use of composite armor on T-series tanks.

The T64 tank has not entered the production stage at present, but there are only a few prototypes for experiments, but in addition to the cost, the T64 tank is completely a monster belonging to this era, and even better than the T72 tank mass-equipped by the Soviet Union. But the KGB is different in this regard, the KGB armed forces received the T62 tank, this thing Serov of course knows what is going on, it is obviously an improved version of the T54, which belongs to the replacement of the Soviet main battle tank when it was in flux, once the T64 tank enters the mass production stage, the position of the T62 tank is very embarrassing.

Compared with the T64 tank, the T62 tank is almost dilapidated, and Serov, who accepted a batch of defective products, had to work on the sidelines, such as the Soviet explosive reactive armor. The T64 tank has high defense and is not needed. The T62 tank on his side does not have the capital to pretend to be forced, so he can only think of a way to deal with the external explosive reactive armor.

"The news from the Iron and Steel Research Institute shows that the research institute does have some issues, but the Ministry of Defense is not enthusiastic about the issue of explosive reactive armor, so there are funding difficulties that lead to the current stagnation of research!" Servanov soon came back and reported, "The relevant tests of the institute have been stopped!" ”

"Stopped? Lack of funds? We will fund the Iron and Steel Research Institute to continue the research, and I hope that the relevant results can be applied to the tanks of the border guards first! "Serov has a lot of money at this time, and the hardware itself can't compare to the Ministry of Defense, so I don't want to think about how to live this life?

It's a pity that Serov's knowledge of explosive reactive armor is limited to this name, he doesn't know anything except this name, and he doesn't rush to learn and sell it now. Sometimes he really wished that he was the all-knowing Yuri, and that he could come up with something like an apocalypse tank and a terrifying robot, and he didn't believe that the Americans would dare to look down on the Soviet Union's military power. But he's not, it's very embarrassing, and he can't use it......

"But it's not like I can't do anything, I can't do explosive reactive armor, I can't build a house, can't I?" Serov, with a pink expression, waited for his guests, several architectural scholars from the Institute of Architecture. These people are all scholars of design engineering, and it is completely overkill to be invited by Serov to build a community, but you can't let the scholars be idle, right?

At the same time, the disinformation department of the First Main Directorate of the KGB spread false information that Japanese businessmen were driving down prices due to a backlog of timber in the reclamation project in Primorsky Krai, which made Serov, the chairman of the National Security Council, angry and angry in the office of the chairman of the Rubyanka's own chairman.

In fact, Serov was talking all night with scholars from the Institute of Architecture about the expansion of the KGB dormitory, "In the corridor, we should consider the concealment of various circuits, centralized management is the best, the wires are too safe in the open, and they are easy to be destroyed, and a child has a mischievous mind, and the consequences are unimaginable!" ”

"Chairman Serov, the open wire setting is actually easier to repair, once the wires inside the wall are damaged, maintenance is a big trouble!" Scholars from the Architectural Research Institute expressed a different opinion, purely out of practical considerations.

"Comrade Andreyev, the wires are protected by the wall and cement in the wall, and generally there will be no problems, and the space we leave for maintenance is of course not easier to find problems than the open wire circuit, but in fact, it is safer to calculate carefully or the dark line, and it also saves space. We've asked for the advice of the power experts, and there will be no problems! Serov spread out a drawing, which he did not draw himself, but borrowed it from the Ministry of Public Housing to enlarge it, but it was larger than the current community, with a small household of more than 80 square meters and a large apartment of about 100 square meters, which was about one-third larger than the Soviet housing of this era.

It's time to be a conscientious chairman, the housing problem of millions of members of the State Security Council and the NKVD of the USSR, Serov is ready to start solving this year, all the backlog of timber in Primorsky Krai will be turned into materials, floors, seats, furniture, and the Japanese want to lower the price, Serov will eat all the harvest, see who is in a hurry.

A few days after Serov's anger over the backlog of timber circulated, at a meeting of the presidium of the KGB, Serov, with an indifferent face, finally arrived in the conference room with a bunch of drawings in his arms and said directly, "I have only one agenda item today, all comrades of the State Security Council and the NKVD who have been in the system for more than half a year must live in new houses...... )
