Chapter 236: Singing a song
The emergence of satellites, how to describe its greatness is not too much, Serov from the perspective of an ordinary person, after the human race has satellites, it is the first time that the entire earth has begun to monitor with its own technology, which is equivalent to opening a God's perspective to the entire human race, scientific and technological powers can monitor movements around the world anytime and anywhere, if you happen to be in a country similar to Rwanda, it will be very embarrassing, maybe your actions for a day are monitored by people thousands of miles away, and those who monitor you, It may be that the look in your eyes that watches your every move is no different from looking at a monkey.
The development of human beings has always been unbalanced, after entering the modern society, the gap between civilization in the world is not narrowing, but constantly widening, the annual steel output of an industrial power can reach the extent that all members of an agricultural country are stoned to death, the emergence of satellites marks that the industrial power has once again begun to lead the trend, and the gap between itself and the third world countries has widened again, a country has begun to use satellites to control the world, and the other country is no different from thousands of years ago, Those who can see this gap are not only sad in the face of this gap, and the contrast between the two sides has begun to make the pursuers who are behind begin to despair.
What excites Serov is that the two countries he cares about will not fall behind in this competition, and the Soviet officers on the training ground may not all understand the significance of launching satellites, but Serov can see that these polar bears are proud of the achievements of their motherland, and all the officers are excited everywhere they look.
"There is no military order today, everyone can be completely released!" Serov, who empathized with him, suggested to Major General Battov, "Take out all the vodka, these officers have been in Egypt for a year, and they can't be asked to practice like ascetics......
"I'm just worried that after the officers go out drinking, the local Egyptians will think badly about us!" Major General Battov is not unreasonable, Egypt itself is 80% of the population occupied by Muslims, and Muslims do not drink alcohol.
"No, such a trifle will not make Egypt have an opinion about us!" Serov affirmed that Egypt and the Soviet Union may have contradictions on some issues. But it's definitely not such a trivial matter.
The launch of the world's first artificial satellite by the Soviet Union was like dropping a bombshell on the world's media, which had just been somewhat deserted, and after TASS announced the successful launch, the news of the successful launch of the world's first artificial satellite instantly seized the pages of all mainstream newspapers. The slaughter was even greater than the Suez Canal War a year earlier.
The world's first artificial satellite marked the first time that mankind could send what it needed beyond the earth in terms of academic function, which is not important! It is worthless to discuss the scientific significance of the satellite itself, the greatest significance of which is that it marked the first time that the Soviet Union was freed from the shackles of Earth's gravity. The launch of the world's first artificial satellite ahead of the Americans proved that the Soviet Union was actually stronger than the United States in terms of scientific and technological strength.
The propaganda point was here, and for a time all the newspapers of the entire socialist camp reported on the great achievements of the Soviet Union, and the rumors that the east wind overwhelmed the west wind spread far and wide, and this was the greatest reward for the Soviet Union from the world's first artificial satellite. There is no doubt that this time the Soviet Union had the upper hand in the initial space contest.
Flipping through a limited number of newspapers, all of which were Soviet newspapers, Serov, who was on the edge of the world, could not get a glimpse of the whole incident, and only then did Serov remember the beauty of Italy, and there was no shortage of information on both camps. It allows Serov to observe the battle of words between the two camps up close.
"The contest between the two sides of the Cold War is the driving force behind scientific and technological progress!" Serov, thinking that he had said something quite profound, put down the newspaper in his hand and walked out of his office. At this time, it was getting late, all the officers in the playground were sitting on the ground, many bonfires were burning, and the polar bears who had recovered their nature were hooking their shoulders and backs, smoking cigarettes in their left hands and vodka in their right hands, releasing their truest side without any restraints.
I don't have to worry about violating military discipline, I don't have to worry about tomorrow's trip, all I worry about is whether my alcohol can cope with the attacks of the people around me. Don't be the first to lie down.
"The atmosphere is very lively!" Serov walked up to Major General Battov's campfire and sat down directly on the sand, with several officers roasting lamb in front of him. I just don't know what the craft is.
"There aren't many opportunities like this, and the fighters have let go of their shackles! It reminds me of the time when I was on the battlefield! Major General Battov laughed and said with a look of nostalgia, "At that time, you may not even be able to eat enough black bread, let alone roast mutton......"
"Oh, understandable!" Serov could not bring into the environment of Major General Battov. But out of the consistent respect for the soldiers, it is still possible to follow the other party's words in two sentences, which is also a basic respect.
Touching his trouser belt, the Damascus steel knife given to him by Minister Alim is still there, the palm-long Damascus steel knife is definitely a sharp weapon for eating barbecue, Serov, who is holding the Damascus steel knife, instantly felt that he was forced to die, and had the illusion that he was not on the same level as these people.
The sharp Damascus steel knife cut the lamb effortlessly, and the profligate Serov learned from the nomads he had seen on TV, sitting cross-legged on the ground with a mouthful of mutton and vodka, unloading the burden of the commander and bragging to the officer in front of him without scruples. Unloaded a leg of mutton and cut the meat, and ordered the plate of mutton to be sent to the two secretaries, Major General Battov secretly shook his head and whispered, "Yuri, the impact is not good!" You've gone too far, aren't you afraid that someone will come to you? ”
"Got it, I'll pay attention next time!" Serov vaguely agreed, who will come to the door? He is a KGB man himself, will he still find his own trouble? Besides, this is a foreign country, otherwise Serov would not have been so bold.
"What's the use of the satellite launched this time? What does sending something to heaven prove? "The KGB actually began to specialize and highly educated earlier than the Red Army, and even those with a high degree of professional education do not necessarily understand the great significance of satellites, let alone the current Red Army officers.
"You don't understand this, do you?" Some of the serovs boasted with their tongues wide open, "What we launch in the USSR today may have no practical effect, but what about next time?" Technology is developing all the time, if we install a camera on a satellite, you must know that there is no blind spot for the satellite to look down on the earth, and then we only need to get the image transmitted by the satellite, and we can monitor the whole world, which can save a lot of manpower......"
The people around were stunned, after all, they were all grassroots officers, and it was impossible to think so far now when the satellite had just appeared, and when they heard Serov's words, they all felt stunned, and said while raising their glasses, "General Serov, you know so much!" No wonder he is already a general at such a young age......"
"It's all a small scene! Who called me the KGB, I have to be responsible for my own work! "Satellites can be used not only to monitor enemy countries, but also to predict the weather, observe the trajectory of clouds to predict the weather conditions in the next few days, and it can be said that it cannot be exaggerated......
Future artificial satellites are divided into low-orbit satellites, medium-high orbit satellites, various artificial satellites, geostationary satellites, sun-synchronous satellites, large elliptical orbit satellites and polar-orbit satellites according to different orbits. According to their uses, artificial satellites can be divided into communication satellites, meteorological satellites, reconnaissance satellites, navigation satellites, geodesic satellites, interception satellites, and so on. These satellites, which are of various types and uses, have made great contributions to mankind. It can be said that he cannot boast too much about the importance of humanity, and Serov does not exaggerate the use of it at all.
"Okay comrades, don't talk about such serious things! At least we know a little bit about it! These days, we will have a three-day holiday because of the motherland's satellite, which is more relevant to us than anything else, right? Major General Battov raised his glass, picked up the loudspeaker that had been put aside, and shouted, "For the strength of the Motherland, for the advance of socialism, Ula ......"
...... Ula, nearly a thousand officers and advisers in the playground drank together and drank the vodka in their hands, and the atmosphere of the entire playground instantly reached its peak, "General Battov, sing a song to help the fun!" Serov took a bite of the leg of lamb and proposed with a shiny face.
"Okay!" Major General Battov held up the horn and sang, Serov was stunned for a moment, and immediately sang along with Major General Battov, followed by the officers around the campfire, and then the officers of the entire playground sang together.
Great Russia, a permanent union; Independent republic, formed by free association. The will of all nations, the establishment of the Soviet Union, unified and strong, for thousands of years! Free Motherland, you are incomparably glorious: a strong fortress of friendship among peoples! The red flag of the Soviets, the red flag of the people, leads from victory to victory! The sun of freedom shines on us; The great Lenin pointed out the future. Stalin taught to be loyal to the people; And inspire us to build up meritorious deeds. Free Motherland, you are incomparably glorious: a strong fortress of happiness for all peoples!
At this time, there was no difference in rank, no difference in status, and in Egypt, thousands of miles away from the Soviet Union, the officers who served their country cheered and sang about the unbreakable alliance...... (To be continued.) )
