Chapter 526: The Problem Is America

"Yuri is there, too. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Marshal Malinovsky, as if he didn't hear it, didn't care about the dissatisfaction of the chairman of the KGB with military spending, Khrushchev himself didn't have any special care for the military. Before the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet army was simply cornered, and now it is beginning to open its net to the military. How could the KGB be allowed to come and ask for money when the days had just passed? In this case, it is natural that nothing should be heard.

But this does not mean that Serov will let this old man go, and there is no personal relationship to talk about when it comes to funding. The Ministry of Defense represented millions of Soviet armed forces, and Serov was followed by the security personnel of the whole country, the National Security Service and the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs throughout the country, plus the border guards, the internal affairs army, and what he carried on his back was no less than that of Marshal Malinovsky.

"The border guards and the internal affairs army, as part of the armed forces of the USSR, have a great unfairness in military spending, and the Ministry of Defense does not treat us as the same thing at all, if this is the attitude of the Ministry of Defense, I will report this situation to the Presidium of the Central Committee." Serov stood in front of Marshal Malinovsky and did not let him enter the treasury.

Marshal Malinovsky looked helpless, he has become a general, why has he not become calm at all? He could only speak, "The command of the border guards and the internal affairs army is not in the Ministry of Defense, don't you think it is a little inexplicable that military spending comes from the Ministry of Defense?" These two troops only obey the orders of your KGB presidium, but the cost has to be paid out of the military budget? There is no such reason......"

In Marshal Malinovsky's view, the military expenses of these two forces were best borne by the KGB itself, and the border guards had the right to deal with local conflicts because of the problem of guarding the border, but the military did not have this right. In fact, the border guards have more power than the military districts in the country, and as for the internal affairs forces of the major cities, not to mention, they are simply aimed at the Red Army.

In such a situation, Marshal Malinovsky would never agree to the Ministry of Defense to allocate military spending. No matter what Serov said, he did not agree. What's more, he heard that the KGB cooperated with the intelligence agencies of various countries, and last year the intelligence agencies of other allied countries divided one billion rubles, so how much can the KGB share? It should be at least three billion, right? None of the interest-free loans from the Soviet Union to Indonesia were of this amount......

Serov also did not know this number, because Valya had not yet been calculated. Serov, who is limited to the mathematical level of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, is good at summing up all kinds of data, and it is purely difficult for him to calculate it.

"The weapons of the border guards are only picked up by the rags of your Ministry of Defense, and the cost of refitting the T62 tank is still from our KGB, and if you don't give military expenses, you still want to deduct money from us, do you know that the military expenses of the border guards and the internal affairs army have accounted for more than 40 percent of the KGB funds, and the funds allocated by the central government have basically been left after passing through the major general bureaus and local organs. You have to bear at least a little bit. Serov was foaming at the foam and made up his mind to pull out a little money today.

Marshal Malinovsky thought for a moment as if he was thinking, and came to the conclusion that there was no way. The command is not in the Ministry of Defense, why is it out of military spending? In the end, he proposed, "You can go abroad to rob it, the state distributes the wealth of the people to the KGB, but it doesn't let you go abroad to play in the mountains and rivers, you have so many foreign station groups around the world, you can't think of a way by yourself." If the funds are insufficient, it means that your industry is still relatively small, so it is right to expand......"

"For the first time, I think you're more hateful than Americans." Serov looked at Marshal Malinovsky for a moment with a gaze called Pharmacy Bilian, and finally gave up arguing further. Every year he wants to deduct a little money from the Ministry of Defense, but every time he fails, and he won't talk about it in the future.

"Thanks, that's right!" Marshal Malinovsky, who walked to the door, suddenly stopped and said, "Speaking of the T62 tank, I remember attending a meeting of the Ministry of Defense two days later, and we will discuss the issue of the border area." ā€

"Got it!" Serov, who was holding a medicine bottle in his hand, impatiently poured out two white pills and said impatiently.

Serov, who returned to the Lubyanka at noon, held a meeting to discuss how to distribute the six billion rubles received by the Ministry of Finance. This money is about a quarter of the military spending of the Ministry of Defense, and yes, nominally the military spending of the USSR this year is less than 30 billion rubles. Nominally, in reality, it is certainly not the case, and certainly not as much as the Americans say.

"You make a list of the plans first, and if there are any gaps, make a table for me when the time comes." Serov said with a languid look, "Every time I go to the Ministry of Finance, it is more tiring than planning a big operation." I'll go home first......"

He really doesn't want to run to other departments all the time, and when he has this time, he can do something meaningful, such as where to go to be a-stirring stick, and constantly salivating and tearing up other departments like he is now, which is not the life he wants.

Sometimes Serov also wants to paint a painting, play the piano, listen to music, cultivate his sentiments or something, and after doing all this, he finds that it is better to go abroad to be a-stirring stick.

Serov, who was struggling to write on the table, breathed a sigh of relief, Valya got up from the bed and put the bill on the other side of the table, and said softly, "A total of 9.7 billion, it seems that there are 1 billion more than last year, and the Rockefeller of the United States is just like that." ā€

"I don't know, how about looking at the report I wrote?" Serov is also ready to show his wife his results, some proposals for child welfare facilities in the country, as well as for orphanages.

"Oh? Let me see! Valya, who was standing behind Serov, took her husband's documents from behind, and pressed a pair of huge plump weights on the man's head and said, "Okay, can you improve the hardware facilities?" ā€

"yes, that's a KGB tradition." Serov's tradition naturally dates back to the founding of the Soviet Union, when Dzerzhinsky served as chairman of the Central Executive Committee for the Improvement of Children's Lives, during which time he established the Soviet Children's Welfare Institute. Because the Cheka has its own talent training mechanism, and the Red Army handed over the border guards to the Cheka leadership at that time, so after the original group of orphans grew up, they entered the border guard system after being educated by the Cheka. Since that time, the border guards of the USSR have been under the leadership of intelligence organizations until now.

The reason why Serov was allowed to attend the meeting of the Ministry of Defense was that there were two problems in the major Red Banner border military districts. In fact, from the meaning of Marshal Malinovsky, Serov knew where to worry. It is the issue of the Sino-Soviet border. Because Sino-Soviet relations were in a relatively bad and not bad stage, there were voices of aggression against the Qing Dynasty during the imperial period in China, which were used to accuse the Soviet Union of hegemonism.

Marshal Malinovsky had already asked Serov to attend this meeting of the Ministry of Defense to discuss border issues, "Comrade Serov, on the issue of our border with China, there is a voice on the Chinese side, and you, as the chairman of the KGB, are in charge of our country's intelligence organs, and you should not turn a blind eye. ā€

"It's just a difference in understanding, and you won't listen to them, so why should you care about this kind of statement?" Serov said unmoved, "From China's point of view, it is very normal for such remarks to appear. Nation-states are like this, and it is not China that is dissatisfied with us, as if other countries are even more dissatisfied with us, just scold, and there will be no less piece of meat, and there is no problem with the equipment of the major Red Flag border military districts at present. That's how I see it......"

"The number of border guards is less than 300,000, and there are only 100,000 in the border with China, plus the Central Asian, Far Eastern, Turkestan and other military regions, our army on the Sino-Soviet border has just exceeded 500,000, does it seem a little weak?" The Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Field Marshal Grechko, looked at Serov and asked, "This is not good for national defense security, have you ever thought about it?" We should have the upper hand so that China does not dare to act rashly. ā€

"Fight the number? Marshal Grechko, you must know that China is the most populous country in the world, and it is not a wise move to fight for the number of soldiers, anyway, it is impossible for us to go to war with China, so why not put our forces in some other direction? "Serov sometimes really feels that he does not know how to rely on these marshals of the Ministry of Defense.

First of all, the attitude of the military has always been a tough position, which is understandable. This is the case with the armies of any country. But the Ministry of Defense of the USSR clearly went a little too far, looking at what problems were trying to solve them militarily. It is no wonder that in the seventies, Ustinov confidently believed that even if he fought on both the eastern and western fronts, he could quickly win.

Serov believed in Ustinov's judgment at that time that the Soviet army would definitely be able to defeat the enemy, but what he got was a destroyed earth, the army won, and the country was gone. It is indeed very tough to say that the Soviet Ministry of Defense is tough, but in fact it is still afraid of the appearance of such remarks, which shows that it still has a high opinion of China. It's just that this kind of high-level glance, whether Serov should be happy or sad, is not a good thing for China. The same was not good for the USSR.

"If Comrade Suslov knew about this, he might have reprimanded you, as for Comrade Brezhnev, his temper is relatively mild, but he will never support you to do it, I won't say anything about the attitude of the first secretary, I still say the same thing, China does not dare to take the initiative to attack us, we will not gain more than we gain by attacking China, we cannot go to war with China with too strong human resources, and at the same time they are also afraid of our tanks calculated in 10,000, so the Ministry of Defense is completely making a big fuss." Serov put on his gloves as he spoke, stood up and glanced at the marshals of the Ministry of Defense and said, "Comrades, let's get the United States out first." That's the root of all the problems......" (To be continued.) )
