Chapter 412: Letter to Hoover
From word of mouth, many people confuse the Ninth General Directorate with the Fifth General Directorate, which is known as the General Directorate of the Secret Police, but in fact this General Directorate of Police Management is a special security agency to deal with Soviet cadres, Major General Chekalov of the Kremlin garrison, and Major Georgadze, the captain of the Khrushchev Guard, have all been selected by the Ninth General Directorate, and the current head of the Ninth General Directorate, Chkalov, is forty-three years old with the rank of major general.
The Main Directorate of the KGB Police Administration protected all members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, from First Secretary Khrushchev to Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Leonid Blazhnev to soldiers of the Guards Department of the Secretary of the Local State Party Committee. In the USSR, only reliable people who had been rigorously selected by the Ninth Directorate could carry weapons close to the leadership of the USSR, which was the closest department to the KGB and the Soviet leadership.
Now there are 16,500 officers and men in the General Police Administration, two-thirds of whom are deployed around Moscow, and Dzerzhinsky divisions have become the most important military force of the KGB in Moscow, including a Moscow Guard Regiment and a civilian battalion, while the rest are divided into small teams to form guards at important junctions in Moscow.
Two thousand three hundred and fifty men, including Major General Chekalov, were responsible for guarding the Kremlin and became the Kremlin garrison guard regiment, which included both armed soldiers and plainclothes guards. In addition to protecting the members of the Central Committee, the KGB also had to protect the safety of the families of the members of the Central Committee, and no matter where Khrushchev went, there would always be KGB officers by his side as protection, which was the practice of the Soviet Union.
Officially, because of the existence of this General Directorate, Serov was convinced that any coup d'état could not succeed without the KGB, and even if the worst was possible, with the military power of the KGB in Moscow, it would be able to withstand a short-term military coup and buy time for Khrushchev. The structure of Soviet politics was like this, the ubiquitous department of the Cheka appeared from just after seeing it, and until today's KGB, although its political position has been weakened, it is still not weakened in terms of power, who let Khrushchev start to raise the status of the KGB again because of the incident in Ryazan Oblast.
"I don't believe it, I can't convince the KGB to defect, you people who have no sources of information still want a coup d'état?" In the middle of the night, Serov said goodbye to the two of them, thinking that there should be no problems.
In fact, it is more likely that without the support of the KGB, the coup would not have happened at all, everyone was waiting for Khrushchev to die of natural illness, anyway, this kind of thing has not happened, it happened once ten years ago, and it is not enough to wait for Stalin to die?
This possibility is very large, at least based on Serov's observation of Brezhnev, if he is not sure, Brezhnev will definitely not do it, this chairman of the Supreme Soviet is not an impulsive person, on the contrary, the other Podgorny is very easy to be caught, and the latter is more aggressive in terms of personality, maybe he will pull hatred early.
You can't always pin your hopes on the stupidity of your opponents, but the initiative is on the other side, which makes Serov very anxious, with Serov's current political status and the gap between the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, which is even greater than the gap in the national strength of the Soviet Union and the United States in the sixties, as for the stupid decision of assassination, he is the first deputy chairman of the KGB as a member of the Central Committee to let agents assassinate members of the Presidium of the Central Committee? Who will listen to him? If such a decision is made, Serov will immediately end up with his predecessors such as Yezhov and Beria.
It is not that assassination is a small method that cannot be used at all, but it is necessary to divide how it can be used. In his office, Serov put on a paralyzed face and was facing Menderev, the head of the Operations Executive Department in front of him.
"The person has been found, when will it be action?" Serov put one hand on his head, drooped his eyelids and said, "This is the business of the Operations Enforcement Department itself, I shouldn't have asked about it, but you also know that the killer's defection is extraordinary, and the impact on the reputation of our KGB must be dealt with!" ”
"The target task is imprisoned by the Federal Republic of Germany, and we can't do it!" Mendelev replied with some embarrassment.
"The more the Americans and Germans take protective moves, the more we have to kill the target, this is to tell our opponents from the level that our KGB is not easy to mess with!" As he spoke, Serov picked up the bitter coffee that had been cold and drank it down, gritted his teeth and said, "This person Stashinsky must be eliminated, and we must let our enemies know what the fate of traitors is." By the way, his foreign concubine is the source of defection, right? Even Stashinsky's foreign girlfriend is killed together, and if the two have children, bring the children back to be trained! ”
This was the first time that a hitman from the Operations Enforcement Department had defected, and the time happened to be during the Cuban Missile Crisis, because Stashinsky himself was just a killer and did not know anything classified, so he did not let the United States inquire about the reality of the Cuban Missile Crisis. But because Stashinsky belonged to the KGB Operations Enforcement Department, the killer's sensitive identity made his defection unusual, and Stashinsky's defection made many cases leak out under the noses of Americans, in other words, the truth of many unsolved cases was revealed, which was not a good thing for the KGB.
Of course, now that the Americans already know that there are many fake missiles on Cuba, it is even more unnecessary to hide them at this time.
There is also the fact that Stashinsky himself was once honored by Shelepin, which made this defection very embarrassing.
"The First Directorate of Infiltration will help you, find a real killer who can get out, find out the address of the German girl first, and then bring back the head of the couple, and the child will also be brought back to Stashinsky's parents!" Serov absentmindedly flipped through a book and said in a cold tone, "For the sake of a woman, I don't even want the motherland and my parents, if the headquarters doesn't make a little statement, who will pay attention to discipline in the future?" ”
"Head, are you going to storm the prison? And that German girl is protected by Anglo-American agents, it's too difficult! Mendelev spoke out about his difficulties, the operational execution department is an assassination department, and it is difficult for them to go to war openly.
"Who told you to storm the prison? I'm giving you a million dollars and three years to do it to ensure a success rate, and it's worth it if you deter potential defectors from getting ready to move! Serov snapped and closed the book in his hand, "Do you know, what is the concept of three years? The Great Patriotic War is almost over, just let you kill two people, why are you so unconfident? ”
Seeing Mendelev away, Serov also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that an intelligence organization can never avoid this kind of thing, and while the KGB continues to develop informant infiltration, it can't always avoid being infiltrated. In all fairness, the discipline of the KGB itself was strict enough, but still traitors could not be avoided.
"Or the standard of living of the USSR itself is not as good as that of the Americans! But things always change for the better! "Things are not too bad, at least there is good news now, the FBI, with the support of Attorney General Robert Kennedy, has begun to conduct an inventory of Hollywood, many suspected **** directors and screenwriters, and some neutral actors have been forced to leave the United States, a good thing, this is a great thing.
A few months after the Cuban Missile Crisis, American counterparts finally took action, censoring Hollywood because Marilyn Monroe went to Europe unknowingly, and censoring American researchers because Serov clearly stated the number of American nuclear missiles.
"Can it turn into another McCarthy movement? I'm going to add a fire to him! "Serov decided to provoke FBI Director Hoover, and started writing a letter for people to send to the FBI to Hoover.
"Mr. Hoover, I said a long time ago that it is very appropriate for you to become the head of the General Directorate in the KGB, that is, my subordinate! But that's all your talent has to offer, how is the recent inventory of scientific research institutions? I forgot to tell you, please tell Mr. Kennedy to change the nuclear bomb launch code, the four eights are too simple, in case a mentally ill person can't think of letting the world bury him, we still want to bury you, but we don't want to die with you. After writing it, Serov read it again, and in order to be more realistic, it was necessary to add something, the manual of American nuclear strike targets in the sixties. Eighteen nuclear bombs were to be dropped in the Leningrad region, 17 in the Moscow region, 4 in Vladivostok, 3 in the imperial capital (Fengtai, Landichang, Nanyuan), 4 in Shenyang, in Beipiao, Shashi, Shangrao and other small cities, 14 in Prague in the Czech Republic, 8 in Moravska-Ostrava, 7 in Leipzig in East Germany, and 3 in Poznan in Poland......
The manual of US nuclear strike targets was accidentally seen by Serov in his previous life, and this thing is not a secret in later generations, who let the Cold War end at that time for 20 years, and the Americans will not keep these old news. But now you can use it, use some real information, stimulate Hoover, and make the censorship more violent, you accept the defectors of the KGB, and I will let you clean up the institutions of your own country with your own hands.
Hoover, who received Serov's letter two days later, stared at every word of the letter, as if he could see Serov mocking him in Moscow. (To be continued.) )
