Chapter 80: The Kremlin

Serov is self-confident, and as some of the media in the hope country say, the secret police organizations of some authoritarian countries always think that they are omniscient and omnipotent, and it just so happens that Serov is such a person! His self-confidence is different from Khrushchev's blind self-confidence in appearance, and it is also different from Shelepin's confidence in his own abilities! Serov's self-confidence was based on the KGB organization, and he knew that he was an ordinary person, and all he could do was to make his organization grow stronger, so that he could save pride without corruption, and he could also use any means to eradicate the enemies of the Soviet Union.

It doesn't matter if the Soviet Union abolished the death penalty, the elimination of the enemies of the state can completely bypass the law, Khrushchev restricted privileges, Sherepin avoided privileges, and Serov wanted privileges in a certain sense now, which could be enjoyed by ordinary people, and once everyone could get them, privileges would no longer be privileges!

In the evening, Khrushchev hosted a banquet in the Kremlin to entertain the Nixons, as if he had completely forgotten the events of the day, in fact, Khrushchev was the most person-like general secretary of the Soviet Union, which looked even more real! At this time, Khrushchev seemed to be a hospitable host, and the other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union frequently toasted, and the atmosphere between the two sides was very harmonious. After drinking vodka, Khrushchev asked Nixon to do the same as they did, throwing the beautiful crystal glass into the fireplace, making a crackling sound.

Serov, as the head of the guard, left the dining hall after eating casually, and leisurely wandered around the Kremlin, Serov was not hindered, because the Kremlin garrison was trained by the General Directorate of the Secret Police, and many of the soldiers were selected by Serov from the Red Army using the General Directorate of Military Administration. Some commanders also knew him......

Serov's work was supposed to end when he was sent back to Khrushchev's Kremlin, but he was stopped by Khrushchev, and directly followed Khrushchev into this symbol of the Soviet Union, passing by the Kremlin Assembly Hall that was still under construction, and came to the Grand Kremlin "Yuri, many of the products that were taken out today are really eye-opening, but why have I never seen this design?" "Khrushchev's gaze was somewhat aggressive, this feeling of ignorance was quite bad, he did not like it.

"Because it's not put into production? None of the products that Comrade First Secretary saw today were put into production, those were just samples! Serov looked ahead with his head held high, his face did not change in the slightest, and he said in a deep voice, "That is to say, those things that appear today in the entire territory of the Soviet Union are unique, except for electronic cameras......"

"Can't put it into production? Why? Khrushchev asked with some incomprehension, and he could see at a glance why such good things could not be put into production with those very convenient kitchenware and appliances.

"Comrade First Secretary, take the juicer as an example, you can see from the farmers' market that there are not many types and outputs of fruits in our country, and the people cannot guarantee that they can eat fruits every day, so what is the market for a juicer with only one function? Of course, this is only one aspect, take the semi-stainless steel electric kettle as an example, in fact, what you see is not mature, and the electric heating base now has some problems such as too high temperature, easy to damage! Serov became a salesman during the day, except that the audience was only Khrushchev himself.

"As for the General Administration of Electronic Camera Technology, it is prepared for the TV station, maybe this is the only product that is not worried about sales for the time being, and there are many remaining things that the hardware of the Soviet Union cannot keep up, even if it is distributed to the people, it will be idle, and before handing over these things to the people, we must at least ensure the supply of electricity, and a good house! That's the basics! Serov ended his statement, like a lot of household appliances and appliances in the Soviet Union are not impossible to manufacture, otherwise it is completely impossible to explain why the Soviet Union can make rockets into the sky, but the current hardware of the Soviet Union is simply not up to it, and a person cannot live in a dilapidated house with leaky air everywhere, and he can't even get electricity but take a bunch of electrical appliances.

"That's right, we're not doing our best yet, and the housing problem still needs to be solved!" Khrushchev did not get angry as usual, the first is that Serov's rank is too low, at least very low compared to him! Khrushchev was unwilling to lower his own price, and secondly, when it came to the housing problem, Khrushchev has been promoting the construction of the Khrushchev Building, and has taken this problem as his own political achievement, so he will naturally not get angry at the problems he is committed to solving, "But these products are a bit wasteful in the warehouse?" ”

"You can build factories in Italy or in China to produce and export to Europe, firstly to win over the Italian people, and secondly, to earn foreign exchange!" To be honest, Serov was very tired of maintaining this serious appearance, if he had been lying on the sofa and talking to Shelepin at the KGB headquarters, "compete with foreign products, and at the same time improve existing products, and when the domestic housing problem has been solved, and the products can be distributed to the broad masses of the people after they have been improved!" ”

"Your KGB used this method to solve part of the funding problem, right? I heard that this suggestion was also proposed by you, you little tiger really has a way! Khrushchev could not say whether he was in favor or against, but at a time when he was vigorously saving money for the nuclear and space industries, he really hoped that a department like the KGB would make less money.

Khrushchev actually did not expect that the First Directorate had far more channels of making money around the world than reported to him, and only three people in the entire KGB knew about this, to be exact, two people, one was Shelepin, the other was Serov, and Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky could only be regarded as half.

"Tomorrow Nixon will have a banquet at the U.S. Embassy, and you will have to work hard for a few days!" Khrushchev said indifferently, and for a moment Khrushchev had an impulse to transfer Serov to work in the Ministry of Machine Industry, but he quickly gave up this idea.

Khrushchev trusted Sherepin very much, and once heard Serepin say more than once that Serov was born in the KGB, and Serov's resume has always been in contact with emergencies, and the KGB has one less ace director, especially when it is disarmed, this loss is a bit big, anyway, Serov is so young, and there is time to contact other jobs.

"Okay, I'll arrange security for the U.S. Embassy tomorrow!" Serov's face changed, but he couldn't refuse. Serov arranged for agents to bury instruments with major radioactive sources in the US Embassy for surveillance, in other words, the US Embassy is simply a chronic killing site, who wants to go to that kind of place?

The day should be fine! It's just that the chance of getting cancer is a little higher, and it will take at least a year and a half to affect the body, Serov can only comfort himself like this, except that the Kremlin has been entangled for a long time, and still feels that it should not be dug out!
