Big Time 1958

v1 Chapter 272: whitewash

   "No, it's a very pioneering idea!" Korolev thought of Serov's career. Could it be that the spy chief has received any news? It is very possible that I came here when I am not sure.

   This old man thinks too much. Is the KGB so powerful in the eyes of others? Well, even if there is. There are a lot of things in Shelov this year. It should be said that there are many things every year. According to the current development situation, I don't know how long it will take for Serov to have time to find opportunities to use the vacation he has accumulated.

The straight-line distance from the commonly known Big Ivan nuclear bomb was less than 20 meters. After thinking about it for a long time, Shelov made an astonishing move, and slowly walked to the side of the Big Ivan nuclear bomb, and asked the people who followed him to take a camera for him. Photograph. This is a group photo. There are two protagonists in the photo, Serov in a thick chemical protective suit and the bomb that is about to explode.

   The nuclear test is at least three months away, something should be done during this time. The most immediate impact of this test explosion is that in order to ensure that the communication line will not be affected under the conditions of nuclear war, the Soviet Red Army has always stubbornly insisted on the electronic tube, a communication device that is not easily disturbed, as the main equipment of the Red Army. .

   If it’s a small fight, it’s no problem. The technology in the United States is very advanced, and in order to fear the worst that can happen one day, it has always reserved a production line of electronic tubes. But the Soviet Union has gone too far. These old marshals who have experienced the Great Patriotic War have always believed that nuclear weapons will definitely be used in the war. Well, even if they are right, the premise must be clear. That was the Soviet Union's invasion of Europe. Without this premise, it would not be easy to break out a nuclear war. What's more, Serov felt that even if they did not fight to the death, the Soviet Union would not necessarily lose in the Cold War state.

Serov, who was wearing a gray military coat, came out of the factory, summoned the local guards to take a closer look at the surrounding guards, and then said, "Be careful with the guards of the factory, and don't let any idlers wait to enter, including any People, even the family members of your troop commanders, if the news is leaked, I will send you to Xindi Island!"

   Chelyabinsk is an industrial city, the most famous enterprise here is the Ural Tractor Factory. How harmless it is from the name, but in fact this is one of the five major tank manufacturing bases in the Soviet Union. The Tagil-Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant, the Kharkiv Machine-Building Plant in Ukraine, the Omsk Transport Machine-Building Plant, the Leningrad Kirov Machine-Building Plant, and the Ural Tractor Plant in Chelyabinsk, the five tank factories Directly created the steel torrent of the Soviet Red Army.

   In the name of national security, Serov brought a group of security cadres into the Ural Tractor Factory for inspection, mainly to check the preparations for security and whether there is any waste. The Soviet Union can be regarded as the world's first in terms of waste. You will never see this kind of amazing waste in the factories of capitalists, because they are in pursuit of profit. If the worker dares to move the Soviet Union to a private enterprise, what awaits him is not unemployment and deduction of wages.

   During this process, Serov inspected with the second secretary of the factory. The second secretary of the factory was also a KGB, and his rank was not low, he was a lieutenant colonel. The Ural Tractor Plant is one of the five largest tank manufacturing bases in the Soviet Union. Undoubtedly the focus of attention, the second secretary of the factory has the right to borrow the strength of the local General Directorate of Internal Affairs in Chelyabinsk and the KGB's subordinate State Security Service. It was specially sent by Serov after the Ryazan incident.

   During the inspection, Serov was passing by the corridor of a dormitory building. I saw various things that can be called scrap iron piled up in an open area. The height of this pile of scrap iron is almost the same as the third floor where Serov is standing. Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to this aspect, but it was too dazzling. .

"The enemy of the Soviet Union is unprecedentedly powerful. As the country's most important military enterprise, will you give me such an answer?" Serov pointed to the pile of tank parts that had been exposed to the wind and rain in the open air, "I really want to Do you know what's wrong with that pile of parts? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, don't be the second secretary. I asked you to come here to give us feedback on real problems, not to let you come down and join forces... "

"First Vice-President, when I came here, there were already all kinds of parts piled up there, all of which seemed to be substandard parts over the years. Considering the cost issue, they have been piled up there. Of course, I personally think there will be a lot of them. The parts are all qualified, but it's too late to deal with it now!" The second secretary explained in a cold sweat, at the same time ensuring that this situation has never happened since he came to the Ural Tractor Factory.

"Can't we save a little bit? Which capitalist country have you seen dare to do this? This kind of wasteful behavior may only be found in our country!" Shelov said with an embarrassed face, "We are facing a group of powerful enemies, but It's just us alone, and then some people turn a blind eye to state property? If I sneak in to check, will I meet a group of workers carrying vodka bottles to work? Huh?"

   Serov really wronged the Soviet Union on this point. This kind of waste in production is really not unique to the Soviet Union. Of course, the Soviet Union’s problem may be the most serious, but other socialist countries also have this problem. As for carrying a bottle of vodka to work, that was the case in the Soviet Union after the 1980s, and it is not like this in this era.

   "Why hasn't there been a breakthrough in the monitoring equipment of the General Administration of Technology?" Serov asked the second secretary of the factory to pay attention to the waste problem, and began to think about this problem. On this issue, Serov can only pin his hopes on the advancement of technology, and he will never believe in the so-called positivity and ownership. Even the established rules and regulations are not credible, and there is no kind of rules and regulations that people cannot break through.

  It is best to establish a complete national monitoring system, so that the KGB can know everything about the entire Soviet Union without Moscow, so he will support the theory put forward by cybernetic experts. In his previous life, all kinds of software have entered the motherland, and some specific parts of China are even more convenient than any country in the world. This is the important point of technology. A set of solutions to the world is controlled by the KGB. The Internet, coupled with a set of monitoring systems specially designed to deal with the entire Soviet Union, the advancement of technology allows the headquarters in Lubyanka to directly know and deal with some local affairs in the state.

   This is actually quite difficult, because almost no police department in any country has such a large power to carry out a plan, and such blatant surveillance will not be accepted by others. But Serov still wants to borrow the KGB, a department that integrates security, intelligence, and military to complete this plan. Today's trip to the Ural Tractor Factory has once again made this idea stronger. It should put some pressure on the General Administration of Technology. Of course, There is also financial support.

  The southern foothills of the Ural Mountains have a pleasant climate. In this season, there is the most beautiful side of nature. Serov, who lacks common sense in life, cannot recognize the local flowers and plants, but this does not delay him staying here for a few days with an appreciative look.

In this process, I have not forgotten to pay my respects to the monument in Chelyabinsk. There are various monuments throughout the Soviet Union to commemorate the martyrs who died on the battlefield during the Great Patriotic War. It was this great nation that stood up when it was thought that there was nothing on earth that could stop the advance of the Third Reich. The same firm-minded people stood up, overthrew the flourishing Third Reich and planted the banner of victory on the Reichstag in Berlin.

   In the central square of Chelyabinsk, under the monument of the Great Patriotic War, you can see some people mourning in it, and a few old people sitting on the bench on the side, watching the boys and girls in the square comfortably. Many of these people who can be regarded as old people are disabled. They are physically disabled but firm-willed. If you need to step back into the battlefield now, I believe these old people will not hesitate.

   Serov and his party in KGB uniforms did not cause much sensation. The Soviet Union is a country full of soldiers, and people are accustomed to people wearing military uniforms. Besides, you can't expect ordinary people to know the difference between the KGB uniforms and the Red Army uniforms, just as they can't usually tell the difference between the armed forces, the police and the People's Liberation Army.

Under the towering monument, there are also two newly married couples who came to the monument to lay flowers, which is not expected, because the same thing Serov did, when Baku and Valiya got married, the two also did This tradition is carried out like the two newlyweds in front of us now.

   "Hello, comrade, can you take a picture for me and my wife?" The young man in a suit looked at Serov and they came up and asked.

   "Aren't you afraid of us? We are KGB officers!" Shelov looked at the two couples and said with great interest.

   "What are you afraid of? I've seen all the KGB movies, I adore you all!" The man said without any timidity.

   Does this mean that Serov's current efforts to whitewash the KGB have had some effect? Smiling and nodding, Serov asked a second lieutenant at the back to take pictures of the two couples, which should have been done by himself. It's a pity that Serov is not very professional in some special agent skills. If it is exposed, it will be a shame for the KGB.

   "It seems that the people are still very satisfied with our work, at least they are not afraid of us now!" Shelov said to several officers around him with satisfaction. Although this matter was not big, it gave Shelov a whitewash of confidence in the KGB. (To be continued~^~)
