Considering that relations with the Red Army had managed to ease up a little, it would have been best for Brezhnev to do the work for him.

As Serov had expected, India, which had felt quite good about itself before the Sino-Indian war, was very interested in the Soviet proposal, and Serov's reason for thinking was also very open, and he sent a note to the Indian side under the pretext of aiding agriculture in the third world. The example is ready-made, everyone knows that the Soviet Union has put a lot of effort into Africa, and even shouting a slogan for the year of African independence is enough to impress India, which is quite happy to play non-aligned.

Serov was in the heart of the Indians, and everyone knew that Nehru kept declaring that India wanted to be a great power with a strong voice. This year, so many African colonies have become independent and stated, as a big country with a strong voice, don't I say that Great Hindustan will say it? Among them, there are many independent countries with British colonies. In addition to Australia and Canada, which were immigrants from the British colonies, Indians had the highest status among the remaining colonies.

In particular, in many African countries, where the British were unable to govern, the population was often mobilized from India to take charge of local security and management, and these British colonies in Africa had varying numbers of Indian populations. It can be said that India naturally has the opportunity to intervene in Africa, of course, the future generations of India are far behind China in this regard, and there are too many reasons for India's failure, and it is not only this aspect, and Serov does not want to say more.

Serov was simply surprised by the enthusiasm of the Indian side, or the goodwill unleashed towards the Soviet Union, you must know that he did not specify in the telegram how many cattle he wanted India to provide, but after taking into account India's attitude, Serov's psychological price instantly changed from 500,000 to 1 million, anyway, India is full of cattle, and they don't eat it themselves. It would be better to solve the real problems of the USSR, there was no foreign exchange? Never mind. The Soviet Union has been the wronged man a lot, but the aid has been given a lot, and this time the barter cannot be said to be a reparation, there are still so many bullets left in World War II to this day, and the major defense enterprises are still producing in a steady stream to prepare for the legendary world war. The last thing the USSR lacked was weapons.

When the Soviet ambassador to India and Nehru continued to communicate, it was October '60, and Nehru was supposed to be preparing for war. As for who he was preparing to do against, Serov could see at a glance, but it was not true, the war in history India was not a final defeat after arduous resistance, and it was completely a brittle defeat that was not at the same level. At this time, if we do not seize the opportunity to exchange weapons for something that the Soviet Union can use, and wait until India loses all the pants left, the Soviet Union will have to be the main wrongdoer. Military assistance is certainly necessary, and instead of giving it away in vain, it is better to let Serov solve the real problems of the USSR now.

"The African countries of the third world have just become independent, so they should be well supported, and our Soviet Union is also competing for influence with the United States, you just say that, and then transport all the cattle supported by India back to me, why? You would say that the species in Asia and Africa are different. The Soviets wanted scientists to test whether there would be animal diseases that Africa could not defend against, yes. That's it! Serov took the phone to negotiate with Moscow, he would have liked to call directly to New Delhi and communicate directly with the Soviet ambassador to India, but unfortunately it was slightly beyond the scientific and technological development of the current era. Hotline this thing, he is also qualified to use a KGB vice-chairman......

"You don't need me to teach you when you get to our homeland, do you? The state-run slaughterhouses in various localities were instructed to send professionals to inspect the quality of the cattle, and to pick out the delicious ones with a lot of meat and slaughter them. Well, no problem......" Serov hung up the phone with a snort, and said with a sigh, "The problem is solved, at least there should be no problem with the meat supply this year......"

"Not bad! It's a beautiful job...... "In fact, it only takes one day from proposal to action." But it left a deep impression on Brezhnev. Serov's dispatch of telephone and telegram telegraphs seemed to give Brezhnev the illusion that the whole world revolved around him. Obviously, the supply of meat in the Soviet Union this year has become a very tricky matter because of domestic problems. But because of Serov's proposal, several telegrams and phone calls were easily solved.

If this matter is a simple import and export solution, forget it, anyone can buy things with money. But no, it is not strange to scrape the land from Mongolia, and it is difficult to import pork from the Arab region under the guise of religion, and it is difficult to import beef from India, and the Indians are really interested in Serov's proposal, which is described in the telegram as if it were in a hurry, which Brezhnev could not but admire. The context of the international situation must be understood very clearly......

Serov is like knowing India's needs, which requires a good understanding of India, and Brezhnev is sure that Serov has never been to India, can he know everything about the world from the daily reading of intelligence? Brezhnev didn't believe it, didn't believe it, but there was no doubt that the matter had really been resolved......

Brezhnev, who thought he had a keen judgment, found that Serov could not be judged by meeting once, probably because of the unfamiliar relationship between the two sides, Brezhnev secretly said, "Some people's personality thinking requires a long time of contact to come to a correct judgment, obviously this KGB first deputy chairman has a multifaceted ......"

Unlike Shelepin, Brezhnev was far less convinced that his subordinates would not betray than Shelepin, in his eyes Sherepin was still a little younger, didn't Khrushchev just come from behind, from Kaganovich's assistant to Kaganovich's boss? The lessons of the past are not far away, and nothing in this world is impossible......

Khrushchev was already preparing to return home, and the first secretary of the United Nations, who had just finished knocking on the table, was certainly not in a very good mood at this time, and at the same time as he knocked on the table, the incomparable Soviet ICBM in his mouth actually exploded on the launch pad. It is foreseeable that the members of the Central Presidium will inevitably be blamed.

Can a cadre be accommodated by a cadre who has more power than himself? The answer is yes, because Brezhnev was on his side, and earlier he had already rejected the proposal to fly back to Moscow, and Serov had been avoiding putting his life in the sky unless it was a particularly urgent one. In his opinion, if he is noticed by someone who cares, he will not even have a chance to escape, and it is true that the plane is the safest means of transportation, and if something really happens, it is also the tool with the highest mortality rate.

"I didn't expect our senior cadres in security work to have such quirks?" Brezhnev said with a smile, "Is this your mental factor? Do you want to avoid flying all the time? ”

"I just don't want to put my life in the hands of fate, and as a land creature, I still like the feeling of being grounded!" I didn't forget to give Brezhnev a glass of red wine, usually high latitudes are alcoholic countries, and the Soviet Union is no exception, the Soviet Union not only has the rumored vodka, in fact, the Soviet Union is not low in red wine production. It's just covered up by vodka.

It is quite interesting to have a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee to accompany him, this person is not his direct superior, judging from Brezhnev's current position, no one will regard Brezhnev as a later Soviet leader, but this is not just a clash of strength, Khrushchev's valued heir suffered a stroke in history, so Brezhnev, who was already considered to have withdrawn from the ranks of successors, returned to people's sight because of a little luck.

"Are you going to Ryazan?" Brezhnev's assistant asked, this person is also famous in history, Chernenko, the leader of the Soviet Union after Andropov, but even the Dnipro gang boss is in front of him, Chernenko, a transitional leader, will not surprise Serov again.

"Well, let's see if Ryazan's problem is solved!" Serov considered himself very polite to everyone, and said in detail, "It is definitely impossible to make up for the meat of Ryazan, but some non-staple foods can still be a good highlight of this year." It's not that it can't be promoted as a positive merit, and I have to investigate it carefully. ”

"My daughter is no more than two years younger than Comrade Serov, but it's a pity that every day she knows how to enjoy it, and it is a real headache to ask for beautiful clothes and foreign products!" When it comes to this, Brezhnev is absolutely not fake, and he is completely a character who cannot discipline his daughter's father.

"Galina? Brezhneva? Serov thought for a moment that this should be the name of Brezhnev's eldest daughter, who was involved in the great corruption case of the late Soviet Union, and finally became an alcoholic and was sent to a psychiatric hospital. Tapping his temple with his finger a few times, Serov said slowly, "If Chairman Brezhnev thinks that your daughter is just negligent and can let her come to work in the KGB, of course I have only one request, under no circumstances can I become a traitor......

"I am an old Communist, how can my daughter not love the Soviet Union?" Brezhnev said very funny.

You may not be now, but you will become a bureaucrat in the future! Serov is not very kind to help Brezhnev discipline his daughter, he is just making the worst preparations, in case Sherepin can't play Brezhnev, Serov will run the KGB like an iron bucket at the same time, but also control the other party's daughter to protect himself. Judging from historical experience, Brezhnev did not have the courage to fight to the death with his opponent, not only did he not, but all the members of the Central Presidium, including Sherepin.
