Big Time 1958

The    reorganization, or the first order to optimize the structure, is to test the power of the General Administration of Internal Defense and Espionage. Serov ordered the Second General Administration to keep up with the corn movement in the country. After a short period of consideration, Serov decided that he would take the initiative to wade into the landmine of the corn movement.

After the order was issued, the huge organization of the Second General Administration began to act. At the same time, Alexey's Fifth General Administration and Kibanov's Ninth General Administration acted at the same time. Shelov's order was not difficult to understand. The materials reported by the governments of various places in the animal husbandry industry have been verified. This is just a normal move, and it does not seem to be murderous. It is the KGB's job in itself to make the First Secretary aware of the real situation in the country.

In fact, Serov clearly knows what the consequences of this order are. No one can play math games in the detailed investigation of the KGB, and the most important thing in the KGB is agents. There are huge manpower to go to local grain depots and farms to check and see. How much grain and meat reserves are there?

   "Old secretary, the order of the chairman." Serov, who was sitting in Shelepin's office, crossed his legs, and asked Shelepin on the opposite side to ask for the order of the chairman of the KGB, which was a document issued by the chairman of the KGB, and it was not unusual. The decree of the chairman issued by Shelepin in one year is not one hundred or eighty.

"Do you want the chairman's decree again?" Although he said so, Xie Lepin took out the manuscript paper specially issued for the chairman's decree from the drawer and signed his name, but he did not immediately give his ace chief, and asked, "What are you doing this time? ? You have to be careful, as soon as you take over the second general bureau, you can't wait to do something."

   "If my results come out, you will definitely be very surprised." Shelov took the chairman's order unceremoniously, put it in his pocket, and sneered after confirming that Shelepin couldn't take it back. "I want to check the grain depots across the country to see if the grain reserves and meat reserves are up to standard!"

   To say the corn movement begins. Of course, Khrushchev is the source of the mistake in the first place, but a huge mistake is definitely not something that one person can make, and none of the bureaucrats who put satellites in front of Khrushchev can escape their involvement. One thing must be done well in this operation, that is, the impact should not be too large, because it is easy to check Khrushchev in. The first drafted document on combating pompousness is being drafted by the secretariat led by Issamotney, and as soon as it is finished, it will be sent to the local organization.

   "Something happened!" Shelepin, who was facing the Dzerzhinsky statue from the window, did not look back until Serov left the KGB headquarters by car. If Serov had said that he would check the national grain depot at the beginning. He really didn't necessarily make up his mind to issue the chairman's order. It was obvious that his ace chief was going to land mines.

   It is not without signs of the plight of the Soviet Union's domestic grain. If he, as the chairman of the KGB, doesn't know anything about the wind, it means that there is a real problem in the Soviet Union, but Shelepin doesn't know how serious the agricultural problem is. With so many general bureaus of the KGB, Shelepin can theoretically know everything, but in fact, everything has priorities. Many local cadres are hiding the fact that their harvest is not good, and Xie Lepin can't know everything.

Back to the Second General Directorate, Serov, who received the order of Sherepin's KGB chairman, summoned the two chiefs of the secret police headquarters and the police headquarters in the name of the deputy chairman of the KGB, Lieutenant General Alexey and Lieutenant General Kibanov, two The General Administration is the department with the strongest military strength of the KGB besides the Border Guard and the Internal Guard. This time, the cooperation of the two General Administrations is required.

"There's not much to talk about. It's not complicated at all. The difficulty lies in how much courage we have to do it, as long as we have the courage to take the first step. The follow-up things are very simple for the KGB!" Shelov Peel off a crab in front of you. This kind of king crab in the cold zone may be the most common crab that the Soviet people can see. Thanks to the Soviet fishing fleet in the Baltic Sea, it can’t be said to be fresh when it arrives in Moscow. He also has nothing to choose from when it comes to seafood.

He personally demonstrated the first crab-eating Sheloff, his eyes fell on the faces of the two directors in front of him, and he didn't know when he had a cigarette in his mouth, and said with smoke, "Our work, national security. For The food issue is the number one problem for the people, no one knows how big this hole is, how dare you do it?”

   "Almost all the local cadres are on guard against us. If we make a big noise, will the KGB arouse hostility from local cadres?" Kibanov also learned from Serov to eat and chat, and it seems that the effect is not bad now.

   "Yeah, it's not like you don't know, those cadres naturally guard against us!" Alexey also sang in harmony.

"Only those who have ghosts in their hearts are afraid of our KGB inventory. If there is no problem with the food, what are they afraid of?" Pressing the few remaining cigarette butts into the crab shell, Serov said coldly, "The food inventory is no problem, then this time it is A routine routine inspection, if there is a problem, those people should still worry about their own heads. Which murderer is wrong to accuse the police of arresting people? Let them continue to deceive and deceive us to prevent us? Who would be afraid of a group of prisoners, really funny…"

Clap clap..., Alexey applauded at the right time, glanced at Kibanov next to him and said in a long voice, "Well, I said, Yuri has the style of us old Cheka warriors... "

   "If you don't eat it, it will be cold, my friend." Although it is quick-frozen, not everyone can eat the king crab in front of you. The food of the Soviet people is about to become a problem. How dare the two directors waste food here?

On September 15, Serov issued the chairman's decree that Shelepin had already issued, including all the republics, autonomous prefectures, ordinary republics, all local KGB agencies in the Soviet Union, all local KGB agencies, and the General Administration of Internal Affairs, local KGB chairman, and the director of the General Administration of Internal Affairs all began to check local areas. The grain depots belonging to them are checked, and the grain output and meat reserves reported by the farms are checked.

"The General Bureau of Internal Defense Intelligence, the General Office of the Secret Police, the subordinate agencies of the General Police Office, the local General Administration of Internal Affairs, and the KGB agencies have all participated in the process of the inventory!" Serov said in a decisive tone at the meeting of the KGB Presidium, "It's always been a rumor. The grain harvests in various places obviously do not match the reported data, now let's see what happened?"

   Shelepin took a deep breath, looked at the other members of the KGB presidium and said, "Do you have any opinions?"

   Just kidding, who dares to have any opinion, isn't Serov your most trusted director? Who knows if the two of you are acting in front of us? Everyone shook their heads and said that they had no opinion and that the food issue must be strictly investigated and dealt with.

   "Agreed, all the members of the KGB Presidium expressed their support for Comrade Serov's proposal." Shelepin turned around and pulled the entire KGB Presidium into the water. At this time, he must express his democratic style.

   Shelov nodded and thanked all the members of the KGB Bureau, and then proposed concrete steps. With the consent of Shelepin and other members, he left directly at No. 11 Lubyanka Square.

"First, pull out the list of political stars since the corn movement, and first investigate the states of these comrades to see if there is any moisture in them!" Serov returned to the headquarters of the Second General Administration and directly gave Alexey Make a phone call and ask the General Office of the Secret Police to start an investigation into the various party secretaries who have released satellites to see who is genuine and who is deceiving.

As early as the Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the CPSU held at the end of the previous year, Khrushchev said: "Vigorously increasing meat production is an extremely important and urgent task at present... Increasing meat production is of paramount importance. The performance of farms and state farms should first be measured according to the production level of this most important product of animal husbandry.” That is to say, the evaluation and promotion of cadres in various places first depends on how many tons of meat they can provide the country.

  The first secretary said so. In order to become a political star, the local governor naturally worked hard to reach the standard of the first secretary. Soon Alexey handed over the list of these officials to Serov.

   Ryazan State Party Secretary Larionov is one of them. At the 21st Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union held in early January last year, he vowed to increase Ryazan's meat production by 2.8 times within a year and deliver more than twice as much meat to the state.

"Larionov, Secretary of the Ryazan State Party Committee?" Serov asked, holding the resume of the most outstanding political star of the year, "I seem to remember that the main pillar of Ryazan State is the machinery industry, it seems that the coal industry is also very strong, and agriculture does not seem to be strong. ."

   "Yes, Director, according to rumors, there seems to be some problems in Ryazan Prefecture!" Issemotny replied while looking at the documents.

   "Less than 200 kilometers, let's go and see for ourselves!" Serov said directly, putting away the information. This time, he is going to pass by secretly, neither requesting the cooperation of the local Directorate of Internal Affairs, nor planning to inform the local KGB agency. what happened.

   He didn’t have much time. The Third General Administration also had a trip to visit the Baikonur Space Center, but before that, he still had to prepare to deal with the issue of agriculture, which involved the ownership of hundreds of tons of gold in the Soviet Union.

It was already a little cool in the Moscow night in September. Serov boarded the train to Ryazan in a gray military coat. In addition to the two secretaries who were always by his side, there were less than twenty soldiers of the Internal Guard. .

   Ryazan is not far from Moscow, and Serov had already appeared on the land of Ryazan Oblast before midnight. However, he did not take a train directly into the city, but replaced it with a car. Seeing is believing. (To be continued~^~)
