Chapter 248: Fake Propaganda Department
The first manned space flight of mankind is about to become a reality, and it has entered the final sprint stage, and Korolev has not yet set a final day, but Serov, who has a deep understanding of the current domestic atmosphere in the Soviet Union, knows that this day is as soon as possible, and it must be completed before the Americans. Judging from the profound hostility between the United States, the United States and the Soviet Union in the current Cold War, once the Soviet Union accomplishes its feat first, the United States will immediately invest huge sums of money to catch up.
Judging from the exchange ratio revealed by later generations, the Soviet Union did a pretty good job in this deal. To make an extraordinary exchange ratio at a modest cost is simply to make the Americans spend more money while they save money by cutting the number of regular troops.
"Comrade Korolev, when the time comes, I am willing to go to the Baikonur Space Center to witness this great moment, when it will be the first time that we humans will be freed from the shackles of the earth's gravity!" Whether it is a scientist like Korolev or an cosmonaut like Gagarin, there is no doubt that they are the pillars of the motherland, and a country depends on such people to support them.
In order to help these patients recover as soon as possible, Serov created an environment that is very suitable for cultivation, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the environment is pleasant, and people will get spiritual sublimation after staying for a long time, and if they are willing to take it with them for a lifetime, Serov is very willing.
But in terms of cost, Serov still thinks that these people should go to a free country for further study, but I don't know if the United States is willing to raise these idiots who can only eat or sleep. It should be true, the United States likes to keep dissidents of its own enemies, and the number of prisoners in Kazan alone does not seem to be sufficient to meet this requirement.
It doesn't matter, the USSR is also the boss of the socialist camp, no matter how it says, there are not enough people in one country of its own. You can ask fraternal countries for help, and besides, the Soviet Union borders countries with strong religious atmospheres such as Afghanistan and Iran, and if there are not enough extremists in Central Asia and the Caucasus, the KGB border guards can completely catch a little across the border and come back to replenish it.
"I'm excited to think about it, I really hope the Cuban Missile Crisis will start soon!" In the empty office of the first deputy chairman of the KGB, Serov stared at the Americas like a mentally disturbed patient.
The waters around Cuba are a relatively important area according to the US naval theory. But according to the Soviet Red Navy's theory of nuclear war at sea, the importance has to be raised by several notches. No wonder the Soviet Union attached so much importance to the only ally in the Western Hemisphere.
"The first deputy chairman, Lieutenant General Serdyuko has arrived, and several deputy chairmen in Moscow are already waiting in the conference room!" Isemimoteni pushed the door in, scratching her head.
"Okay, I'll be right over!" Serov's eyes narrowed and swept around Isemimutny twice, and suddenly reached out and slapped the fat buttocks under Isemimotny's military pants, the sound was very crisp, which made the little girl feel coquettish.
At present, Sherepin always works in the Secretariat. At present, Serov is acting as the deputy power center of Lubyanka Square No. 11 for a period of time, and according to Sherepin's words, it may take until the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the second half of the year for him to completely step down, in other words, there will be a vacuum period of more than nine months in the KGB. This period was a transitional period between Sherepin and the next chairman of the KGB, Semychasny, who was still nominally the chairman of the KGB, but in fact it was not a major matter that Sherepin would not ask about.
The little girl always seduces me, is she in love with me? Serov was very narcissistic in his thoughts. In this age of ideals, it is not impossible. Of course, intellectually, he is still more inclined to his own status, and the factor is greater.
"For well-known reasons, our chairman, Comrade Sherepin, in addition to something significant, will follow. We will not always work in the Lubyanka, and the work of our National Security Council is currently temporarily represented by me and Comrade Itvasov until the new chairman of the KGB takes office. Serov took his seat and then made an opening remark. He said that he and another first deputy chairman of the KGB temporarily acted as agents for the current KGB, and after getting Itvasov's approval, he moved on to the next question.
After the appointment of Lieutenant General Alexai as NKVD, the number of members of the Presidium of the KGB was expanded, with the addition of Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky of the First Directorate. The current number of the KGB Presidium is fifteen. Of course, Serov knew that in secret Lieutenant General Alex had two hidden allies, the chairman of the KGB of Leningrad and the chairman of the KGB of Ukraine were his friends, according to Serov's private words, "the remnants of this group of Beria are hidden deep enough ......"
"On the issue of blind spots in the work of the KGB, after consulting with the First Deputy Chairman Comrade Itvasov, I believe that at present our security work is too focused on strong suppression, and of course there is nothing wrong with this, but we cannot just emphasize this." After a long speech, Serov began to explain the current inadequacy of the KGB's security work.
This kind of tirade, which includes members of the presidium of the KGB and the directors of the major general directorates, is not the first time that it has been seen in recent years, and usually Serov begins to analyze this and that at length at length, which can only illustrate one point: the National Security Council, an institution, will usher in the establishment of a new department.
"That's it, sometimes the people's dissatisfaction with the country needs reasonable guidance!" As if he also knew that this set might not work if he was seen too many times, Serov quickly ended the alarmism that he didn't know how many times. Limited by the technology of the times, which is not so convenient, he can't come up with a website similar to the pig breeding network, and can only achieve his goals through more primitive methods.
"So Comrade Serov and I believe that we should set up a department to deal with the challenges in this regard, the newly established department is independently established within the General Administration of Domestic Espionage, belongs to the independent work department, and has the same status as the Disinformation Department of the General Administration of Foreign Intelligence, referred to as the same as the Disinformation Department, which is called Department D, which is mainly responsible for confusing the audiovisual at home and abroad in terms of authority, and has similarities with the work of the Disinformation Department, but mainly focuses on propaganda, which is the new department of our General Administration of Domestic Espionage, the Fake Propaganda Department!" Itvasov coughed softly and finished adding up what Serov had not finished.
The first kind of work is the simplest, which can be done by everyone, that is, to find out the current reports of the Western world scolding the Soviet Union, and to classify and identify them so that the people in the Soviet Union know that this is the simplest, and even Khrushchev's high status knows the virtues of the Western media, and it is not too easy to find slander against the Soviet Union in the Western world. Not finding a hundred reports a day is a dereliction of duty.
The second task is to spread rumors and conspiracy theories, because a country with a political structure like the Soviet Union has eliminated all kinds of rich and unkind people, and the people's eyes will naturally be on the government departments. There are about two classes in the Soviet Union, party members and the people, this is not a normal state structure, traditionally the normal structure of a country should be a pyramid structure, there need to be capitalists, middle class and poor people at the bottom, but there are no capitalists in the Soviet Union, because of the prevalence of egalitarianism, there will be no middle class and poor, so there is actually no strong ruling class in the Soviet Union. There is only a class of party members who look strong, but in fact this class is not strong at all, and if he is really strong and the people are united in maintaining their rule, the Soviet Union will not collapse. The people and rank-and-file party members were practically free to circulate, and this political structure in the Soviet Union could easily be dismantled.
Therefore, given the fragility of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it is necessary for Serov to let the people know what the real world is really like, starting with conspiracy theories and rumors, and with real information, to carry out propaganda in a closed environment such as the Cold War. It is well known that the people of some countries lack common sense and are incredibly lacking, for example, they cannot distinguish between Georgia and Georgia, they think that socialists are driven to work by whips, and their understanding of the Soviet Union is outrageously low.
Even Serov wanted to use the KGB to get a batch of romantic action movies from the United States, preferably heavy-hearted, but considering that the KGB's work was so sacred, it was always a bit strange to do such a thing.
The Soviet Union, and the countries in the socialist camp as a whole, were at a double disadvantage in terms of population and influence, and they had to start with the quality of the population, and they had to make sure that their own country was free of garbage, while waiting for the opportunity for the Americans to make mistakes.
"Then, Comrade Serdyuko, this matter will be left to you. As for the specific propaganda manpower, we can ask Comrades Goryunov and Meshatsev to find the people we need, sometimes the people are not deliberately against the state, but their information is blocked, we must let the people know all the news, maybe there will be a certain amount of confusion in the short term, but in the long run it seems to be absolutely advantageous! Serov summed up the work of the fake Propaganda Department as follows.
"Comrade First Vice-Chairman, I will communicate well with the comrades of the propaganda organs!" Lieutenant General Serdyuko was naturally happy, and the increase in the number of institutions in his own department was, of course, something to celebrate.
The establishment of the new department was met with great joy, at least unanimously at the KGB meeting, and Serov, who was full of ambition, went to work the next day before his ass was hot, and he was called over by someone sent by Suslov. (To be continued.) )
