Chapter 268: Lieutenant General Shchedko
Each of the National Security Council's main directorates has its own school to train the reserve forces of each directorate, and the Cherokin Training School, which is attached to the Operational Enforcement Department, specializes in training assassins, assassinations and kidnappings in the Operational Enforcement Division. Gechev in Kiev is subordinate to the Main Directorate of the Secret Police, and so on......
The Reserve Military Academy of the National Security Council, like the Gatzner Secret Service City, specializes in training foreign agents for the First General Directorate, mainly for the Domestic Espionage Bureau, that is, the Second General Directorate, to train counter-espionage agents, and to train and supervise agents for the army, and after graduation, the awardees will be sent to all levels of the Soviet Army as officers, and ordinary officers are different from ordinary officers, these officers are KGB personnel, and they are not responsible for directing operations in the army, but are responsible for monitoring the mental state of officers and soldiers at all levels.
After the establishment of the Third Directorate, some personnel of the Reserve Military Academy of the National Security Council were naturally placed under the jurisdiction of the Third Directorate, and now Serov's subordinates are very short of personnel because of the expansion of the network, so they can only focus on the reserve officers who have not yet graduated. To Serov's surprise, the current rector of the National Security Council Reserve Military Academy is not from the KGB system, but Lieutenant General Shedko, who was born in the GRU.
The coldest time in March has passed in Moscow, and only at night can one still feel that the tail of the cold winter has not completely left, and the National Security Council Reserve Military School is no different from some ordinary schools on the surface, and even inferior to those ordinary universities in appearance. Only the internal police on duty at the school gate can make people feel a little unusual.
Serov and Lieutenant General Shedko, the headmaster, walked on the playground, the unmelted ice ballast under the military boots rattled and rattled, "Lieutenant General Shedko, how many courses have the recent batch of cadets who are close to graduation completed?" ”
"The most recent batch of students who are close to graduation have completed their fourteen-month course, except for the final exams! It's almost right to work! General Serov, now I'll show you around our school! Lieutenant General Shchedko stretched out his hand and led Serov to the side and into the teaching building.
"The officers trained in our school usually have a semester of eighteen months!" Lieutenant General Shchedko and Serov passed by many classrooms, and sometimes Lieutenant General Shchedko stopped and explained, "Eighteen months we have divided the length of about 3,000 lessons to educate the trainees. The subject is divided into three parts! The main subjects are 700, military science is 400 classes, and the rest of the subjects are special subjects! ”
The so-called main subjects are just like ordinary schools, teaching students mathematics, physics and chemistry! Of course, the main subjects here are foreign Chinese languages, foreign economics, political general education and foreign literature, and there are professors of different languages as teachers in different countries, military science subjects. Military science includes information on the establishment of foreign affairs organizations, armament facilities and instruments. Intelligence of foreign leaders and the habits and characteristics of the life of the locals.
After listening to Lieutenant General Shedko's presentation, Serov thought for a moment, and it seemed that the subjects of military science and the main subjects had little to do with the work of the Main Directorate of Military Administration, so he asked, "From the current point of view." It seems that this batch of graduates is not a big problem! Lieutenant General Shedko, to tell you the truth, our General Military Administration is currently establishing institutions in various places, and there is already a great shortage of manpower. ”
"I'm afraid not!" Lieutenant General Shchedko's answer made Serov's heart sink and he said, "Now the courses of the cadets are not over, the main courses and military science courses have nothing to do with each other, and the most important thing is that the studies of the special courses have not been completed!" For us at the Reserve Officers Academy. It doesn't matter whether the main course and the military science course are completed or not! The special section is the most important! ”
"Oh!" Serov nodded knowingly, and after the introduction of Lieutenant General Shchedeko, the special section included three hundred classes of topography and map intelligence, and seventy classes of related training, including flushing and magnification. 300 classes of radio transceiver and radio repair techniques. Sixty lessons on women's sex, alcohol and drug use, cartography and intelligence photocopying techniques, and communication methods, including the use of invisible ink to draw secret symbols and annotations on maps. Forty classes on security measures and seventy classes on how to recruit and recruit and train informants, including the use of diplomatic cloak as cover. In addition, there are overseas intelligence and communications, counter-espionage training, security work, tracking techniques, methods of escaping, organizing and leading espionage networks, propaganda methods, methods of breaking sieges, methods of self-rescue and escape, and courses in pharmacology include methods of using poisons and drugs, and methods of narcotics. Finally, it is crucial how to escape.
The variety of courses was an eye-opener for Serov, a half-agent. As a person who became the head of the KGB General Administration halfway, Serov never knew that an agent needed so many courses to train, and in his heart, he probably only had something like the beauty trick that could not be put on the table, which was considered the most contacted agent tutorial. At least he himself has been captured by the beauty scheme.
"General Shchedko, since that's the case! You directly told me how long it will take for the latest batch of graduates to join the work as soon as possible, and the manpower in our department is very tight! Serov asked very seriously.
"If you put the first two courses on hold and focus all your energy on the most important ones, it might be another month, and it won't be any sooner! We also want to ensure the quality of teaching! "Now Lieutenant General Shchedeko is a model of a people's teacher. Treat every cadet who graduates from the school responsibly. It even gave Serov the illusion that the lieutenant general in front of him was just an ordinary teacher who hoped that his students would have a good future.
"That's it!" Serov nodded clearly, looked down at his watch to calculate the time, it is March 6, and the one-month course actually does not delay the expansion plan of the General Administration of Military Administration, so he nodded and said, "General Shedko, our General Administration of Military Administration is very short of personnel work now, so I came here today in the hope that this group of students can come to work in our General Administration of Military Administration, so I hope that your school can finish teaching the most important courses as soon as possible, so as to solve the problem of our General Administration, It's a win-win ending! ”
"Okay, I'll adjust the course right away so that the students will graduate right away!" Shchedko thought for a moment and agreed, "Since this batch of cadets is working in the Red Army, the first two courses can be appropriately reduced, and this is no problem!" (To be continued.) )
