The inventory continued, and even after the inventory of the grain depots in the prefectures and cities was completed, the collective farms in the surrounding areas and villages were also included in the inventory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Serov understood better than anyone else that the closer to the people themselves, as long as there were loopholes, the damage caused would often be greater, and the people could not see the cadres from above, but if the village chief suddenly made a generous move, the villagers were not blind.

"According to the inventory of the collective farms, the amount of grain reserves is on average about seven percent less than that of the higher agricultural reclamation bureaus!" Stokovich took the checked document and said, "The number of Azerbaijani statistical offices is less than 20 percent, and the entire Azerbaijan has counted 2.9 million tons of grain warehouse reserves this time!" ”

"Oh, that is, half a million tons of grain have either disappeared or never been grown in the first place!" Serov said without sorrow or joy, leaned back in the chair and turned around and said, "Tell Aliyev and the comrades who went out to come back, sort out all the materials, make them into documents and hand them over to me!" I'm a little tired and want to take a break! ”

"Okay minister, I'll do it right away!" Stockovich nodded, then turned and walked out of the office.

In this inventory, Serov's bottom line in his heart was a loss of 10 percent, but he did not expect that the facts gave him a huge surprise, and the loss of the collective farm was still lingering in Serov's heart, after all, the collective farms of this era had not yet been extensively merged, and on average there were only a few dozen households and a thousand hectares of land. The loss of food caused by production is completely acceptable, but the total amount is so different that Serov is a little unacceptable. For a moment, Serov really wanted to wave his iron fist at the person responsible.

"There is nothing wrong with the lowest institutions, the local agricultural reclamation bureaus, I really want to help you find some reasons, but unfortunately my head is relatively stupid, I really can't excuse you!" Serov said to himself, "I said that there is such a big black soil in Ukraine, how can there be a food crisis?" ”

Anyway, he is about to be shot abroad, Serov doesn't care about anything, he must give this group of people a big gift before leaving, the waste of industry is not easy for Serov to catch, even if he catches it, there is no big problem, agriculture is completely different, maybe after Serov leaves, there will be a big earthquake in Azerbaijan.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is exposed to this kind of thing every day?" He rubbed his face with both hands, and the time had come to relax. Sometimes Serov feels that he is dispensable, although he is a minister, but unless he takes the initiative to come forward, there is really nothing that can trouble him, and the seven deputy ministers under his name are not decorations? Even if it is to deal with a criminal case, so many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the entire republic will not come to trouble themselves.

Serov, who feels that he has nothing to do every day, is definitely a plague god in the eyes of other departments, and all evils have retreated everywhere he passes, and many people almost begin to miss Alexey, the former Minister of Internal Affairs, and I don't know who laughed when Alexei left.

"It's October, it's a little cold!" Serov shuddered a little when he left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the yellow leaves on the side of the road drifted in the wind, which may have caused trouble for the sanitation workers who get up early every day. Serov has always been not very accustomed to the humidity of Baku, probably because of the Caspian Sea, and every time the wind blows, Serov always makes him uncomfortable. According to the words of my hometown, this is a thief.

"Minister, Secretary Semychasny has called and asked you to go!" Not far from Serov's exit from the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he heard what seemed to be someone calling out to him. When I turned around, I saw a person about the fifth floor, shouting at me. The distance between the two was visually measured. Serov said in his heart that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really full of talents, and if you find someone with such a loud voice, you can replace the horn, and it is really thanks to Storkovich that you can find it.

Waving his hand to signal that he heard, Serov pushed a bicycle, the green bicycle is similar to the kind of big two-eight that his parents often ride, after several driving experiences, Serov, who felt that his skills were too superb, decided to take a step back and give the opportunity to the young man, he still rode a bicycle, anyway, it is not slower than driving a car himself.

So when Serov, who was still panting a little with a red face, arrived at the office of the first secretary of Semychasny, Semychasny had not yet spoken, and immediately saw Serov dry a teapot of water first, and was immediately surprised, "Didn't you find that you could drink vodka so much last time?" ”

Serov, who felt that he was backward in this era, had never found that riding a bicycle was so tiring, obviously it was about the same as the sophomore, but Serov felt that he had a taste of pushing and walking when the motorcycle ran out of oil, and complained that the bicycle design was absolutely unscientific, Serov finally smoothed his breath and sat in front of Semychasne.

I thought that Serov had just finished some evil movement, and there was still something incomprehensible, and now he has not eased up? Was it in the car?

"Actually, I came to you today, just as comrades, let's have a good talk!" Shemychasnean resisted his curiosity and said, "I'm sure you've heard that you should be transferred after the year, so I'll talk to you in advance!" ”

As soon as Serov heard it, he knew that he was facing not only Semychasny, but also Sherepin behind him, but he didn't know where he was going to go.

"Actually, I'm also curious, I have been waiting but I don't know where the next stop is. The mood is also more uncomfortable! Speaking of uncomfortable, Serov didn't mean to be uncomfortable at all, he just moved where he needed to, and he was worried about what he was doing so much.

"Do you know anything about Italy?" Shemichasny asked.

The Roman Empire, Mussolini, shit-like combat effectiveness, Venice, the mafia, Serov made up a few pictures in his mind, and said simply, "I don't understand, if I understand it from books, then I know better!" ”

For Serov's non-cooperation, Semychasny had long been accustomed to it, and said to himself, "Actually, the Central Committee intends to let you go to Italy to work, the ambassador to Italy has been transferred, and someone needs to take over, as the leader of the young cadres of the Soviet Union, Comrade Serov should accept this appointment!" ”

Serov was stunned for a moment and asked, "The Italian Communist Party should be the largest ** in Western Europe, right?" ”

"That's right!" The old god of Shemichasny nodded.

"The largest party in Italy is the Italian Catholic Democratic Party?" Serov asked again.

"Next to Rome is the Vatican?" Serov's questioning was again answered by Semychasny.

"So, the central government decided to send me to fight against God?" Serov said in his heart that the great Motherland really looked up to me and assisted atheists in the center of religion.
