Serov did not visit the headquarters of the MiG Design Bureau, but only the production line below, to see the prototypes that are currently being produced in small quantities.

"General Serov, this fighter is the latest fighter designed by our MiG Design Bureau, and it will replace a series of fighters such as the MiG-19 on the front line and become a new warrior guarding the Soviet sky!" The accompanying officer next to Serov explained, "We have enough reason to believe that the new MiG aircraft will not fall behind in the face of American Phantom fighters!" ”

"I believe it!" Serov felt the rivets with Soviet characteristics under the fighter and said absentmindedly, although his attitude was a little perfunctory, but in fact, Serov did not disbelieve what the engineer said, the MiG-21 fighter can indeed be called a successful fighter, otherwise it would not have equipped so many countries.

As for the usual problem of short legs of the MiG-series fighters, it was not a big problem until the end of the sixties. The Soviet definition of all armaments was itself such that no matter how elaborate a weapon was designed, it was inevitable that it would become expendable on the battlefield, as the Soviet Union learned from the time of the Great Patriotic War. According to Comrade Steel, quantity itself is a quality! It is almost impossible to change the experience of the Soviet Union summed up in the Great Patriotic War and pursue high technology and advanced nature like the United States, and Serov himself believes that he will not be able to do it.

However, it is not impossible to ensure the quality while pursuing large quantities! The problem is not on the side of the MiG series fighters, the solution is actually on the other side, Serov inspected the secret organs of the MiG design bureau, and at the same time went through the major aircraft design bureaus of the USSR in his mind, and the name Sukhoi always lingered in his mind.

There is definitely a competitive relationship between Mikoyan and Sukhoi, and the fighters of the same series launched by the two design bureaus are about the same in terms of bomb load, range, maximum speed and ceiling, but the MiG design bureau has an advantage that Sukhoi does not have, that is, Artem, the founder of the MiG design bureau? Ivanovic? Mikoyan, whose elder brother is now the First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Anastas? Ivanovich? Mikoyan.

In the absence of a noticeable gap in the samples of fighters taken out by the two design bureaus, the attitude of the Soviet military could easily be confused by Anastas? Ivanovich? Mikoyan's relations, favored the fighters of the MiG Design Bureau.

There's this big brother here. Even if he didn't say anything to seek care for his younger brother, the leader in charge was in order to show goodwill. He would certainly look the other way, and Mikoyan was a genius designer in his own right, so it was natural for him to stand out. And as a direct competitor. Sukhoi naturally has a hard place to get ahead, and perhaps the only thing he is thankful for is that Mikoyan died a few years earlier than him, otherwise he is afraid that his last work, Su XXVII, may die young.

"Bureaucracy kills people!" If Serov hadn't come to visit the MiG Design Bureau, he wouldn't have thought about Sukhoi at all. Now that the Sukhoi Design Bureau has a low presence among the Soviet aircraft design bureaus, Mikoyan himself is a genius designer, and with a high-ranking brother, Sukhoi is likely to have given up the idea of competing with Mikoyan by now.

In any case, it is not a good thing for a company to be dominant without strong competitors, and the employees of the MiG Design Bureau, who greeted them with smiles, would not have imagined that the KGB leaders in front of them were preparing to pull their competitors along.

Serov would very much like to see Sukhoi and Mikoyan face to face while they are both alive. This is something that many military aircraft enthusiasts want to see in later generations.

After visiting the test flight base of the MiG Design Bureau, Serov was just about to go to the Sukhoi Design Bureau again to talk about revolutionary feelings with the chief designer of Sukhoi, when he saw Lukani hurriedly approaching. After a few whispers, Serov dismissed his trip to the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

The investigation team sent by Serov has already received news one after another, and the investigation report has been transmitted by telegram to the headquarters of the Third Directorate, and this time the investigation is mainly concentrated in the army, the territorial defense force, and the air force. The three branches of the armed forces were the three largest in the Soviet Union, and by removing Marshal Zhukov's forces from the three services, it can be said that Khrushchev's plan to control the entire Red Army was mostly completed, and nothing could be more important than this.

The Bonapartists were never a problem, the ultimate goal was to make the Red Army honest and no longer an iron bucket that the central government could not intervene in, and on the other hand, after controlling the Red Army, Khrushchev could better implement his détente plan. and reducing spending on military spending.

"Lieutenant General Ivanovich, commander of the Central Asian airspace zone of the Territorial Defense Forces, met Marshal Zhukov during the Great Patriotic War! The personal training between the two was very good, and they had a very pleasant cooperation in the Battle of Leningrad! "After Marshal Zhukov became Minister of Defense," Colonel Pavlov said. Relations between the two sides have deepened considerably, and every time Lieutenant General Ivanovich comes to Moscow, he goes to Marshal Zhukov's house to sit down, and the two sides have met at least seven times in recent years......"

"The commander of the Territorial Defense Forces? Marshal Zhukov's contacts are really extensive! Serov muttered to himself, "Hand over this report to Lubyanka Square No. 11, and leave the full text unchanged to Chairman Sherepin's adviser......"

The Territorial Defense Forces are the second largest branch of the Soviet Union, after the Big Brother of the Army. It is not surprising that Marshal Zhukov has some friends in the Territorial Defense Forces, but at this point in time it is very bad, and Serov estimates that this lieutenant general Ivanovich should be transferred if he is not old, and if he is already old, he may retire directly.

Serov's role at this time should actually be said to be more appropriate to help the abuse, but he doesn't have so much virgin heart, without him Khrushchev would choose someone else to do it, and the generals in the army who have a good personal relationship with Zhukov will be driven out of the Red Army, in other words, it is the same with or without Serov, since it is the same with or without him, so why talk about guilt?

"Understood, Director, the next one is Lieutenant General Leonid, commander of the communications troops of the Ozard Military District!" Colonel Pavlov began to present the information on the next so-called Bonapartist, and Serov turned his head to look at the thick stack of documents next to Colonel Pavlov, and visually saw that there were at least sixty or seventy people, that is, the names of sixty or seventy generals had not yet been pronounced.

Serov's eyes narrowed and he said darkly: Did you make too much noise? Although Serov's role now should be a mad dog who executes orders, but looking at such a thick list of generals, Serov, who has always claimed to be fearless, is also a little trembling in his heart, the last colleague who treated the Red Army like this seems to be Marshal of the Soviet Union and Minister of Internal Affairs Beria! It is known that he died......

"Lieutenant General Sergei, commander of the Special Air Defense Corps of the Leningrad Military District! Colonel Semyon, commander of the Railway Corps of the Caucasus Military District, and Lieutenant General Yekov, deputy commander of the 24th Army of the Air Force...... "Colonel Pavlov is still reading out these famous generals in the Red Army one by one.

"Wait! Colonel Pavlov! Serov swallowed a mouthful of spit and said with difficulty, "No need to read it, just send the list to Lubyanka Square 11, we only have the right to investigate!" As for whether these generals are Bonapartist or not, let the Central Committee decide! "Serov must admit that he now has an urge to resign! The generals on the list already account for about one-tenth of the Soviet generals, that is to say, in just over a month, his General Directorate of Military Administration has already cleared one-tenth of the top echelons of the Soviet Red Army......

"Okay, Director!" Colonel Pavlov closed the secret file and said, "I will send the results of these people's investigations to headquarters now!" After speaking, Colonel Pavlov left Serov's office, and after ten minutes he came back with a strange face and said, "Director, Comrade Chairman asked you to personally send the investigation report of these people......

"Huh? Good! Serov was surprised at first, then picked up the file on the table and called Isemotny to rush to the KGB headquarters.

These secret files are like a hot potato, at least that's what Serov thinks, and from the time of the investigation, Serov had fully guessed about the resistance he encountered, and now it seems that he is still too young. As the military god of the Soviet Union, Zhukov intersected in the Red Army and promoted generals all over the major branches of the Soviet Union, and the General Administration of Military Administration found out more than 60 commanders with the rank of major general and above in more than a month.

"Oh, isn't there a lot?" Xie Lepin flipped through the investigation materials of the Third General Bureau and asked with interest, "Now it seems that your pressure should not be small?" How do you feel about having so many generals in your hands? ”

"Old secretary, do you really want to know?" Serov seemed to be leaning on the sofa without bones, his eyes were looking directly at the ceiling, and he pretended to be alive and spit out a smoke ring and said, "I want to resign, it's too dangerous in the country!" Now I really understand that the harmless places in Africa are more suitable for me, at least the black uncles can't make me feel scared......"

"Huh!" Xie Lepin didn't hold back his laughter for a while, but immediately comforted, "This is not like your style, you even dared to burn the US Embassy back then!" What's going on now? ”

"That's because no one knows that I did it, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare to come to the Soviet Union to kill me!" Serov looked loveless, "Now the Ministry of Defense knows that I am investigating, and in the future, I will have to be followed by the internal affairs troops before I dare to show ......my face" (to be continued.) )

PS: I came home too late yesterday, and the strength of the wine didn't pass! So in order to be in a hurry, I didn't have to write an essay in my head! Sorry, that's not the norm! I'm not too many words less, right, but the quality is not good!
