Chapter 333: Gorshkov
"I have no opinion, the first secretary has already handed over the matter of Cuba to you!" Serov shrugged indifferently, what Sherepin and Semychasny have in common is that they both served as the first secretary of the Komsomol, and there are indeed many cadres within the KGB at this time who are airborne cadres of the Komsomol from the Komsomol background, and these airborne cadres Semychasny has known each other for a long time, and many of them were transferred to the KGB during his tenure, so it is not accurate to say that Semychasny is not listened to in the KGB, and many cadres in the department and bureau are very buying, but they are relatively weak in the cadre at the level of the General Bureau.
After reflecting on this period of time, Semichasny also found this, and he was still too anxious. If he wants to quickly reach the point of being a man of his word, in fact, there is no need to do so, he is the number one, and it is completely acceptable to use a few years to promote the airborne cadres he admires to the level of the General Directorate. Semychasny forgot one thing, his age was an advantage for almost all cadres of the same rank, but Serov was not among them, Serov was two years younger than him.
"Yura, we need to know that our huge support force is the Komsomol, and that is where we can continue to give us support, I know that the two of us have been a little estranged recently, but we can't get along, and this will make Shurik very distressed." Semychasny sat down and said with a serious face, "We must let trusted cadres control key parts!" ”
"I understand, I've never objected to this, but why be in such a hurry? The cadres of the Komsomol in their thirties, starting from the representative office, are already cadres of the department and bureau, and this is already very fast. We are a comprehensive department, ability is very important, those Communist Youth League cadres still have to go through the experience! Serov first recognized what Semychasny meant, that is, both were friends with Shelepin. The Cold War should not be played in one sector. There is also no objection to the promotion of young people by Semychasny, but this step can be taken slowly.
But in his heart, Serov scoffed at the idea that Semychasny wanted to reuse airborne cadres, both Shelepin and Semychasny were the first secretary of the Lenin Communist Youth League of the USSR, but he Serov did not do it, he only served in Azerbaijan as the first secretary of the Komsomol of the union republics. Few of these Komsomol cadres even knew about his history, and they didn't know that their first vice chairman was also a member of the Komsomol League. Compared with the experience of the Communist Youth League in less than two years, he has been working in the security department for nine years this year, and the tendencies in his heart are easy to see.
Compared with the airborne cadres of the Communist Youth League, he still trusts those old anti-anti-corruption workers, the starting point of the Communist Youth League cadres is too high, they have no experience in working at the bottom at all, and they have more or less the problem of being high-eyed and low-handed. There are tens of millions of people in the Communist Youth League in the country, and there are several eagles of the Communist Youth League. There are only a few dozen people on the stage. If they were really young and high-minded, they would not have been cleaned up by Brezhnev in less than three years, and Serov did not want to pin his fate on such a group of people, and maybe he would have to save them himself in the future.
Of course, at least at this time, the communication between Semychasny and Serov still had certain results, and at this time the news that Serov was once the first secretary of the Azerbaijani Komsomol also began to spread within the KGB, and some young cadres who parachuted from the Komsomol to the KGB only learned for the first time at this time that Serov, the first deputy chairman, was also one of their people.
"This kind of small means will also fool those airborne cadres. And don't look at what kind of department this is, the anti-rebel workers will believe such statements? Serov, who heard such remarks, pouted. I don't know what to say about Shemichasny's actions. The KGB was an intelligence service, not exactly, but this division of factions based on work experience was naïve, and if it could convince the rebels, it would be easier for Serov to classify Semychasny as a member of the Dnipro gang, and he was still a fellow Brezhnev.
Serov just didn't have time to play such a small trick with Semychasny. It seems that the KGB Presidium did not get close to anyone, but in fact, as long as he expressed his position, the KGB Presidium could pass it. He did not have time to talk to Semychasny, and after less than two days in Moscow, he went to Smolensk to inspect the factories that had been built there. The synthesis of Soviet diamonds was determined there, and the KGB had already demarcated a piece of land in Smolensk, ready to stir up a bloody storm on the diamond market.
The synthetic diamond factory was handed over by Serov to the Second General Directorate, after all, the General Directorate of Domestic Espionage Prevention is also the same as the First General Directorate, and there are so many personnel, Serov must take into account the distribution of benefits. All the benefits are taken by the First General Directorate, and it is not conducive to the unity within the KGB, and it is always bad for one family to dominate. Now he is not the head of the KGB, otherwise he would definitely set up a special department to manage this matter alone, and it is safest to keep money in his own hands, and there is always a feeling that it is not very reliable to work through the First General Bureau.
Lieutenant General Serdyuko, director of the General Administration of Domestic Espionage, naturally welcomed this arrangement with both hands, and the degree of freedom of action of the First General Directorate had long been heard, and now that they have such a factory, they will be able to straighten their waists when they see the guys of the First General Administration in the future.
Serov, who was holding a Soviet diamond in his hand, was a little tired, and threw the diamonds back into the vessel like garbage, and the theoretical output of this factory was 50 million carats per year, which is about 10,000 kilograms. Serov had considered whether to give this thing to the KGB anti-anti-anti-epidemic workers as a year-end benefit, but he immediately dispelled this idea, and the first deputy chairman used fake diamonds as a benefit for his subordinates.
If he did, Serov would not have received gratitude, but would have become a laughing stock. He would rather get some hedron from the minerals of Afghanistan as a benefit to his subordinates than use synthetic diamonds to fish and enforce the law.
"A group of anti-counter-terrorism workers will be transferred from the General Administration of Internal Espionage, and you will form a monitoring force together with the General Administration of Military Administration, and our KGB will take action at that time, don't ask more now!" After inspecting the plant, Serov said to Serdyuko, head of the Second Main Directorate.
The specific action Serov cannot say, even if the other party is a cadre of the General Directorate, this operation is facing an extraordinary opponent, which is the real number one power in the world, and the role of the Soviet Union is more like a hooligan with nuclear blackmail. But this can't be helped, the comparison of the number of nuclear warheads between the two sides is so desperate, the Soviet Union must play this kind of heartbeat game with high risks and high returns if it wants to quickly turn the situation around, and it is not only the Soviet Union that plays the heartbeat game, such as the comrades in the east of the Soviet Union, who are also ready to teach that impressive power a lesson.
In a certain situation, the current actions of the Soviet Union and China are extremely risky, and Serov, as a posterity, certainly knows what the virtues of the Indian army are, but no one except him knows how quickly the Indian army will collapse. In this era, the world generally believes that India is the leader of the third world, the Indian army is a strong force fighting all over Europe and Asia, India will be a powerful country in the future, and if it goes to war with China, India also has a logistical advantage, and I believe that no one will expect India to kneel so quickly.
China itself would not have expected that the strong team on the opposite side that fought all over Europe and Asia turned out to be such a virtue. At this time, the Indian military, which aggressively plays the policy of moving forward, still has a very good ability to bluff people. Perhaps while China is preparing carefully, it is also mentally preparing for a tough battle.
Compared to China, which faced an imaginary opponent, the Soviet Union faced a real world hegemon, and the United States is currently at least twice as powerful as the Soviet Union, and if you count the number of nuclear bombs, the gap is more than twice as much. Fortunately, the United States has Yellowstone Park so that Serov can play nuclear blackmail, otherwise even if it is a normal nuclear war now, the Soviet Union will not be able to defeat the United States.
In recent months, it is believed that the soldiers in the Himalayas, driven by yaks or carried directly on their shoulders, will continue the arduous operation of transporting supplies on the roof of the world, slowly accumulating ammunition for a short war, and the Soviet Union will also carelessly use the sea to slowly accumulate strength in Cuba little by little. When Serov was ready to prepare in China, he would send people to China in the spirit of internationalist cooperation belonging to class brothers. In the face of that kind of big country with a strong voice, China, which does not know the depth of the other party, should accept Serov's help.
"Let's be clear, with regard to the movements around the Caribbean Sea, I have detailed hydrographic information here, thanks to the diligent work of the Latin American Department of the First Directorate of the KGB, to be honest, the Caribbean is not suitable for the actions of submarine forces, we must be clear about one thing, that is, once the movements of our Soviets are discovered by the Americans, what will we do if the Americans besiege Cuba with overwhelming naval power?" Serov spread his hands and said, "Our navy does not have the capital to fight head-on with the Americans, so it can only rely on submarines to continue to break through the blockade line, and the US Navy in the Caribbean is very large, and conventional submarines must not undertake this task, and a nuclear submarine formation must be sent to join this operation......
"Nuclear submarines? Okay, I'll do the job with that! "The one who answered was Sergei, First Deputy Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy? Georgievich? Gorshkov. Gorshkov, who had been in the position of commander-in-chief of the Navy for six years, naturally knew that the Soviet Navy was far from being comparable to the US Navy, and that the closest area of the two sides was not on the surface, but under water, to be precise, in the field of nuclear submarine formations, and the two sides were evenly matched. (To be continued.) )
