Chapter 299: Director of the Electronics Bureau

This created a different impression of the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany, which deepened as they traveled this path longer and longer, in the eyes of the Turks as a country that had preserved its Prussian traditions, while the Federal Republic of Germany was a friendly country, and in later decades Turkey usually had to ask which German the other person was when they saw the Germans.

"That's why I've always insisted that we're going to win!" Serov, who was not far from the platform, sat on a stone and said to Markus Wolf next to him. With Serov is sight, a group of young men with little white hats and beards are resting on the platform, not seeing this kind of impact scene with his own eyes to deepen his impression, he is afraid that he will be soft in the future, the Russian-Turkish feud is not to say, the times are advancing, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Turkey will also improve, there were Britain and France to stop Russia back then, and the current United States may not be able to end up in person.

"Are the leaders of the Federal Republic of Germany a herd of pigs? So many Turks, they really dare to let in? Marcus Wolf still couldn't believe it without witnessing it, and now that the facts were in front of him, he couldn't help but believe it.

"And not because the Berlin Wall prevented the Federal Republic of Germany from sucking blood from the GDR, that they made such a decision? On the path of pursuing profits, many people will make irrational decisions. From the point of view of the capitalists, this matter is very simple, the Federal Republic of Germany did not have enough labor, and they could have used the advantage of capital to draw a steady stream of blood from the GDR, but now they can't, so they signed a labor agreement with Turkey. Very normal! Serov stood up and patted Markus Wolf on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, just take a look, these beards don't have anything to look at......"

Before the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Federal Republic of Germany had a close source of low-cost labour. It was the GDR. Therefore, he did not need to sign these agreements with any country for the import of laborers, they only needed to concentrate on using the advantages of capital to suck blood from the GDR. Because the economic strength of the Federal Republic of Germany was higher than that of the GDR, and the prices in the GDR were very low, many people used Federal Republic money to buy GDR goods, which put a huge burden on the GDR. So the Berlin Wall must be built sooner or later, because there can be no development in the GDR without stopping this blood-sucking process.

It can be said that the economic miracle of the Federal Republic of Germany contributed greatly in the early years and in the GDR. It can be said that the development of the Federal Republic of Germany was the result of the combined efforts of two Germanys before the construction of the Berlin Wall, and the result was a German miracle. After the construction of the Berlin Wall, the GDR had a stable space to develop its economy.

"How many days will you spend in the GDR this time?" In an apartment in Berlin, Yelena, who had just put the child to sleep, was holding the man from behind Serov, for whom Serov was everything.

"It's still early, go back next month, the Cuban leader is ready to visit Moscow, maybe I will be busy this year!" Serov said helplessly. If there is no miscalculation, the fuse of the Cuban Missile Crisis has already begun. When the Cuban delegation leaves Moscow, the Soviet Union will begin preparations to allow nuclear missiles to enter Cuba.

Of course, Serov has one more thing to do, and that is the practical problem of cybernetics. After coming to the GDR, Serov, who had changed his environment, suddenly discovered that the GDR was an excellent place to practice. The resistance encountered in the Soviet Union was negligible here, and it was easier to develop the practice of cybernetics in the GDR first, which would also give valuable data to cybernetics experts in the Soviet Union.

Serov also had to admit. It is good for a country to have a little brother, and you can do it when you are worried and don't know what to do. Push out a test item first. In August last year, a silent but significant experiment was carried out by 12 universities in Moscow, in which the 12 universities were networked with each other by computers, and the first local area network in the Soviet Union appeared. Although it is only symbolic, the meaning of it is ecstatic for all computer experts. The emergence of this network proves that the time for the Internet to be promoted is getting closer and closer.

Serov wanted to network first in the city of Berlin. If you want to find someone from within the KGB in this matter, you should be looking for Lieutenant General Shevalev, director of the Eighth General Directorate, after the establishment of the KGB, the work of encryption and decryption will be in charge of the Eighth Main Directorate, and the leader is Shevalev. The declassifiers of the KGB and the Main Intelligence Directorate did not have modern electronic computer equipment like their Anglo-American counterparts.

Like what. Since its inception a decade ago, the NSA has had the world's largest computer database. Despite the fact that the Soviet Union's electronic reconnaissance lagged behind the West in terms of technology, it had two other advantages that compensated for this shortcoming. First, it controlled the best forces of Soviet mathematicians and programmers, many of whom were often called up to work for the KGB and the General Intelligence Directorate. Neither the U.S. Security Agency nor the British Government Liaison Headquarters could have recruited such a strong force.

Secondly, the Soviet Union's electronic reconnaissance undoubtedly benefited greatly from espionage reconnaissance, and in fact a major decipherment work was and still is dependent on the code codes collected by spies. The infiltration of the embassy during the Cold War, as usual, helped the Soviet decipherment work a lot.

From this point of view, Lieutenant General Shevalev is actually in the hands of the best mathematicians and programmers in the Soviet Union, and if he tries to build a network from the city of Berlin, Lieutenant General Shevalev's opinion must be asked. He is not a half-serov, and he will definitely conduct a preliminary investigation, instead of doing it with a pat on the head.

"Lieutenant General Shevalev, I have time to come to Berlin, let's talk about this work, I don't know when I will have time?" Serov took the phone and said to Lieutenant General Shevalev on the other side.

"I don't have a lot of time these days, I'm busy, and I might have time to go to Berlin in a week." Lieutenant General Shevalev's tone on the other end of the line was clearly rather angry, and he didn't know what had angered him.

"What's going on?" Serov asked with some curiosity, "Our chief of electronics is so unbreathable?" ”

"Two of the U.S. Embassy bugs are broken, and I'm trying to find a way to replace them." Lieutenant General Shevalev said.

"It's only two, isn't there anything else to spare?" Serov seemed to pull the telephone line unintentionally, if he remembered correctly, there seemed to be forty electronic bugs in the US Embassy, "Okay, you're done talking about ......"

The most important thing to do is to let the major directorates handle their own affairs, and Serov has positioned himself as development rather than interference, and his focus alone is certainly not as much as that of the KGB as a whole. For example, Serov has never paid much attention to the infiltration of the Federal Republic of Germany, but this work has always been carried out, and Markus Wolf has been working with the First Directorate for a long time last year, and this work is focused on tarnishing the international reputation of the Federal Republic of Germany.

A number of Stasi agents were sent to the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, where they were ordered to destroy Jewish monuments, churches, and small shops, and to put anti-Semitic slogans on the walls. These activities instigated by the KGB were naturally echoed by local hooligans and neo-Nazis. Within three months, almost 1,000 anti-Semitic actions had been registered with the Federal German authorities. Later, the actions of the Soviet Union came to an abrupt halt, but it had long since damaged the image of the Federal Republic of Germany in the eyes of the international public. Federal German politicians and religious activists had to drink the bitter wine of humiliation. The title of an article in the New York Herald Tribune, "Bonn's Inability to Rid the Nazi Legacy of the Nazis," could not be better illustrated by the general reaction of the foreign press to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Israel has also protested against the Federal Republic of Germany on more than one occasion, and has not forgotten to use the GDR to beat the Federal Republic of Germany, so that the relations between the GDR and Israel, which have been stagnant, have developed.

A week later, Lieutenant General Shevalev, who had successfully completed an electronic reconnaissance, finally arrived in Berlin, and Serov and Markus Wolf greeted the KGB chief of the electronics bureau, Lieutenant General Shevalev, who was forty-eight years old and, like many Soviets, had some place on his head to support the central tendency.

"You're talking about the networking of 12 universities last year? Do you think we should start in Berlin first? My First Vice-Chair? Lieutenant General Shevalev asked with some suspicion.

"Yes, this is the real front line of the Cold War, and our electronic contest with the Americans will start here first." Serov said in an aggravated tone, "We all understand that we started a little later than the Americans, but we are not lagging behind, because we are all in the groping stage, and the Americans do not dare to say that they must be better than us in this regard!" ”

Serov also did this in the hope that the Stasi could more easily cover the GDR, in fact, he was also observing the development of this aspect from the side, whether cybernetics is practical or not, will be judged from the feedback results of the GDR. Of course, Serov will do his best to create an environment for the GDR to prevent the process from being disturbed.

"Okay, in that case, let's transfer people from the country, where do we start first?" Lieutenant General Shevalev asked, "Is it a government department?" Or do you start with the People's Army? ”

"No, it starts with nearly 100 colleges and universities in Berlin." Serov made a grasping gesture and whispered, "Students are the easiest group to take advantage of, and we must control this group. If we succeed in the GDR, the next step is to spread it to schools in other allied countries. (To be continued.) )
