Chapter 193: I'm Disappointed
Find a village to live in, a group of people wearing military uniforms enter a village, this village has less than 100 households, its practical forest farm is more appropriate to call this small village, the men and women of the forest farm belong to the workers of the enterprise, they belong to the main forestry department of the Ryazan region, and in the harvesting season they turn back into lumberjacks and go into the mountains to complete the logging tasks, and in the season when there are no logging tasks, they rely on hunting and farming in the mountains to make a living, of course, in the non-logging season these people also receive wages from the Forestry Bureau, It's only about half of the winter harvesting cycle.
"Daddy Vasily, are you going to patrol the mountains?" The mountains are obviously cooler than in the cities, and because of the large number of reservoirs around Moscow, in fact, in the Soviet cities at the same latitude, it is still warm, and if Serov's military coat is only a decoration in Moscow, it shows its practical value here. However, wearing this autumn military uniform in the mountains in winter is still an act of looking for death.
"Yes, General Serov!" Vasily, who was nearly sixty years old, wiped his beloved ******** and said to Serov, "If you encounter wild boars, black bears and other wild meat, I will improve the food for you soldiers tonight." ”
Serov nodded knowingly, looking at the five or six dogs that Vasily raised, they should usually rely on these hunting dogs to hunt, but Vasily said that hunting wild boars is obviously bragging, and even if he encounters Vasily, he will not go hunting. The reason is simple, the danger of wild boars is too great, and shotguns will not solve the problem with one shot unless they are unlucky. The wild boar's counterattack before dying is likely to cause the death of the hound, and if you are unlucky, Vasily's hound may be half dead. Compared to the losses suffered, a wild boar obviously cannot be compensated.
Unless Vasily had a standard weapon used by the military, hunting rifles were not banned in the Soviet Union, and before the sixties hunters could shoot all wild animals they saw, even polar bears and Siberian tigers. It seems that it was only in the seventies that the Soviet Union began to protect wildlife in its territory.
There is another reason why the hunters of the forest farm enter the mountains in autumn. Spring and autumn are the high incidence of fires, and the hunters of the forest farm also inspect the forest area to eliminate possible fire hazards, especially in Ryazan Prefecture, a place where forestry resources are very rich, and the workers of enterprises are prohibited from smoking when they enter the mountains. If they really brought the fire source in, they didn't say it themselves, and no one would know. The government and enterprises will take fire prevention as the main point of their work in spring and autumn, and it will also play a role in hearing and seeing every day, and telling workers every day to prevent fire is a bit verbose, but it is better than doing nothing. If you don't pay attention to it, it's a big problem.
"I'd better let the two soldiers go in with you, the shotgun in your hand is still lacking in dealing with wild boars and black bears!" Serov looked at Uncle Vasily, dressed as a hunter, and didn't care whether the other party agreed or not.
In all fairness, Serov is very adapted to the environment here, with mountains, rivers and forests. Not to brag, the entire Ryazan region has a number, most of which he knows. This kind of organizational form of the forest farm and the Forestry Bureau also made him miss it very much. He grew up in this environment, and the only difference may be that the Ryazan region is much larger than the forestry bureau in his previous life.
Ryazan Oblast has a temperate continental climate with an average annual precipitation of 500 to 575 mm, an average annual warm period of 210 to 218 days, and a frost-free period of 135 to 145 days. The main river in the state, the Oka River, divides it into two parts: the northern part is a forest belt. The southern part is a broad-leaved forest belt and a forest-steppe belt. This climate is like home for Serov, except that most of the forests in the Ryazan region are virgin forests that have not yet been cut down. And his hometown is still a famous forest area in the data, and the locals know that most of the so-called forests on the mountain are leftover plantations, and the primeval forests have disappeared.
"The Ryazan region covers an area of almost 40,000 square kilometers. The population of the state is 920,000, and more than 97 percent are Russians. "Looking at the information in my hand. Serov's only exclamation was the excesses of the small population. His hometown of Syracuse in his previous life also covers an area of 40,000 square kilometers, but the population of that jurisdiction there has exceeded 2 million, not counting other county-level cities.
Chatting with the workers in the village, Serov inquired about the specific news of Ryazan Prefecture and chatted with a group of lumberjacks with interest. "I heard that the development of your Ryazan is quite good, Secretary Larionov has tripled the meat index of your region, and the first secretary also praised you Ryazan at the National Congress, I have heard about the spirit of Ryazan......"
At the end of last year, when Khrushchev met with TASS, he excitedly said: "Now in the USSR and other socialist countries, there is a particularly huge upsurge everywhere. Even those of us who participated in this construction are sometimes amazed, and I cannot but tell you that I have been very impressed by the achievements of the Ryazan workers. The state, which used to be economically backward, suddenly pledged to triple its meat production in one year compared to last year. Tripling in a year, it's no joke! Of course, it is also possible to come up with numbers, and then, as the people of Tsegon have done in the past, break their promises and slip away. But the Ryazans did not intend to flee somewhere. They made a promise, and they fulfilled it. Very well, comrades! The Ryazan people have now tasted the pleasant, well-deserved glory that they will receive from the fulfillment of the pledges they have undertaken. And it's not just the case in Ryazan! ”
The other socialist countries that Khrushchev spoke of, if Serov guessed correctly, should have referred to China. It seems that the problems in agriculture at the same time were also related to the rivalry between the Soviet Union and China.
"Larionov? That neuropathy? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have handed over all the animals to complete its damn mission! It's all about accomplishing the plan in his mouth! A young woman in her thirties wearing a headscarf said unceremoniously.
"Thea? Say no more! A worker in a fur hat opened his mouth to reprimand him, who looked like the husband of the young woman, who was dissatisfied with his wife's big mouth on this occasion.
"Oh?" Serov was stunned, beckoned Isemimutny over and whispered, the forest farm is not big, you can have an unobstructed view in half an hour, and when Isemimutny came back, she reported, "There are only a few families in the forest farm who raise livestock, and the rest of the livestock have been bought by the state government!" ”
Now, of course, Serov understands what is happening, and in order to complete the results he reported, Larionov, secretary of the Ryazan Oblast Party Committee, adopted the method of killing chickens and eggs, purchased and slaughtered all the livestock in the entire Ryazan Oblast, completed the production target, and left the family directly and returned to the public dormitory of the forest farm, and asked Lukani to operate the telegraph machine brought out, and Serov sent a telegram to the Fifth Main Directorate, asking the Main Directorate of the Secret Police to investigate the livestock breeding situation in Ryazan Oblast. Subsequently, a report was sent to the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the surrounding regions to check that there was no record of the purchase of meat from the Ryazan region.
In the evening, Uncle Vasily and the soldiers of the Internal Guard who went into the mountains together came back and brought back a deer, and the fire was happily peeling the skin and waiting to eat meat, Serov did not let the workers of the forest farm continue to be busy, and let the soldiers deal with the prey, but obviously the soldiers were not as good as these hunters who relied on the mountains at this time, and after watching for a while, Uncle Vasily still personally went into battle to pick the skin and chop the meat, and everyone set up a cauldron in the compound of the forest farm, and took out the treasured liquor at home and waited for the meal.
"It's a pity that I only came across such a one, otherwise I could have roasted a deer." Uncle Vasily's words smelled of pity.
"I don't know how much this deer is worth, Uncle Vasily, a hundred rubles may not be much!" Serov took money from his pocket and handed it to the old hunter.
"What is this for? You soldiers are here to visit! Uncle Vasily hurriedly refused, and the two of them tore for a while before Serov stuffed the money into the old Orion's pocket, looked at the busy group of people, and said in a low voice, "We are not soldiers, we are state security cadres, and we came to Ryazan this time to investigate the case!" ”
"Who?" At noon Vasily was still in the mountains and did not know what was happening in the forest farm.
"Larionov!" Serov did not shy away from saying at all, unless he was a person who was particularly concerned about policy, few people knew who the secretary of the state party committee was, compared to the couple he met during the day, Uncle Vasily belonged to the latter type, he did not know that Larionov was their secretary of the state party committee, and thought that he was a absconding prisoner, and was ready to discuss the terrain of the mountains with Serov, and told these internal guard soldiers where the fugitives might be hidden, Serov had to cry and laugh to assure that the fugitives had left the forest farm.
After a full meal, Serov and his team rested for a day in this small forest farm, and the next day they continued to rush to the Ryazan region, the efficiency of the KGB was enough to find out a lot of problems in one day, and before leaving, Serov had already received telegrams from the KGB agencies of the surrounding regions, and the Ryazan region often entered the convoys of meat in their region, for which they had to set up roadblocks on the road to intercept them.
Two hours later, Serov entered the city of Ryazan, and without the knowledge of the secretary of the regional party committee, Larionov, found a foothold in Ryazan, and soon the head of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Ryazan region and the chairman of the KGB appeared in front of him.
"As a national security cadre, I'm disappointed in the abilities of the two of you!" Serov, who was standing in front of the two, was silent for a long time, and said slowly, "The grain production plan of the Ryazan region has been completed?" ”
Serov's words hit the hearts of the two people like a hammer, and they immediately knew why Serov appeared in Ryazan Prefecture, and immediately said, "Deputy Chairman, Larionov is the pacesetter of the first secretary's main propaganda, and we don't dare to go against the Central Committee!" ”
"Oh? This time, I will teach you how to work as a national security cadre, and when I go back, I will keep an eye on Lariov, I am afraid that I will commit suicide in fear of crime, and immediately send someone to block all grain depots and meat warehouses in Ryazan Oblast! Serov gritted his teeth and stared at the two Ryazan police chiefs and said, "You'd better seize this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, otherwise, hum ......" (to be continued.) )
