Big Time 1958

   Normally, Sherepin would not come back to work, but today is different, today is February 20th, the day when the Cheka was established, the salary is to be paid, and when the KGB pays the salary, Sherepin will come back to receive this month’s salary. The day after Serov returned to Moscow, the real KGB chairman finally appeared at No. 11 Lubyanka Square. According to Serov's words, "Our comrade chairman should show his brilliance and hand over the salary of the KGB. Otherwise, he has obviously received an extra salary for his recent work in the KGB, and our anti-repression workers have to clean up such people..."

  "..." Shelepin, who had just entered the KGB Presidium meeting room, looked blankly at Serov, who had his back to him, and made this long speech, and sat directly behind the chairman's seat without making a sound, shouting, "The meeting..."

   "Hahaha..." Itvasov, who was facing Serov, happened to see this scene. He was usually mature and prudent, and he couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment. Under his leadership, all the directors of the General Bureau present laughed.

"I don't have much time. Don't care about Yuri's jokes!" Shelepin was not really angry. He was more familiar with Serov than anyone else here. He went hunting in Kuibyshev last winter and was once thanked by him. Michasny and Serov were pressed into the snowdrift, which is very interesting to think about now. It's a pity that Yegolychev and the others on their side are not the opponents of the two Serovs at all.

Shaking his head, Shelepin cleared his throat and looked at the other members of the KGB presidium and the heads of the major bureaus. He went straight to the topic and said, "This year's funding for our National Security Committee, the Central Presidium has already approved. Today, let's arrange the various departments. specific funding issues!”

   In fact, if it weren't for this, Shelepin would be like what Shelov said. Not at all at 11 Lubyanka Square, and this year the KGB's financial allocations have risen slightly. In US dollars, it is about 1.5 billion US dollars. Do you know what this concept is? This means that this year's KGB funding is even tighter...

After Shelepin said this, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was a bit strange. In the end, the first vice-chairman Itvasov said, "This year we have merged the NKVD, the internal police of the entire alliance and the agencies of various regions. We are all responsible, but the financial allocations are only given to these, which will make the funding problem of our KGB even more tense. Seven billion US dollars seems a lot, but the two forces of the Internal Guard and the Border Guard add up. Four billion. The remaining three billion are divided by so many general bureaus?"

"It's a little less, but our KGB's funding has actually increased, and other departments and even the Ministry of Defense's funding have been cut a lot!" Shelepin hasn't said a word yet, compared to the pressure Shelepin put on various departments in previous years , this year may be because of his promotion to the secretary of the Central Committee, and he has not been made difficult by the issue of funding, otherwise he will receive less funding.

"The work of the First General Administration is too important. Front-line agents all over the world need funds to obtain intelligence! The General Administration of Foreign Intelligence must not be less funded, and the situation is the same for the General Administration of Domestic Defense! The funds of the two General Administrations can only be increased!" Shelov Directly excluding the First General Administration and the Second General Administration, the funds of the two departments cannot be lacking even for one day.

   Seeing Shelepin put his eyes on himself, Shelov nodded slightly to indicate that he was not worried. Shelepin, who had been assured, began to allocate the funds, and finally guaranteed the funding of various departments in the midst of the noise. The usually meticulous directors of the major general bureaus will not back down on this issue, and they have stated to Shelepin how important their departments are under Shelov's eyes. Purchasing equipment and researching new technologies all need financial support.

   These emotions are usually invisible. The chilling bureau chiefs are no different from the picky housewives at this time. If they were the generals of the Ministry of Defense, they would probably have gone to the Kremlin to spread the American threat theory. Sheloff was right at all in guessing. In the Kremlin at this time, Khrushchev, the first secretary, was listening to the marshals of the Ministry of Defense talking about the American threat.

   It was very difficult for Xie Lepin to appease the chiefs of the major bureaus and let Shelov stay, and the chiefs of other departments drove back to their headquarters. The two entered Shelepin's KGB chairman's office one after the other. The place was spotless and there was no difference between when Shelepin was back. Every day there was a special person to clean and wait for Shelepin to come back.

   "How does it feel to be back in Moscow?" Shelepin asked with interest, sitting in his chair.

   "How about what? Which aspect?" Shelov's answer was still full of questions. The question of his own boss was a little too vague. Please forgive him, who is not Superman. He can't keep up with the rhythm.

"It's okay in that regard, just talk about it!" Shelepin touched his desk with nostalgia. In Lubyanka, he was the undisputed chairman of the KGB and determined the millions of KGB agents, soldiers, police and linemen. human movement. According to the rhetoric that Americans always attacked the Soviet Union, that is omniscient and omnipotent. Among the Central Presidium, he is only the youngest and most junior secretary of the Central Committee. Shelepin has some feelings for the two differences.

"There are so many things that are unacceptable!" Shelov's face collapsed in an instant, he still likes the kind of life where the secretary works, "The temperature will be more suitable next month, I will choose the location of the two vegetable greenhouse bases, When the permafrost is thawed, construction will begin. The fourth general bureau's ocean-going fishing fleet is also preparing to set up a base. My own third general bureau has a lot of things to do. The Indian cattle that came ashore from Ukraine were slaughtered, but the taste of the Indian cattle was not very good. , so I asked the Third General Administration to send this batch of beef to some Red Army military districts, saving our own meat supply to the people. Of course, this also caused some soldiers to complain that the quality of meat has declined recently !"

"Next month, I'm going to the Baikonur Space Center to organize work and lead the Sixth General Administration to do some emergency measures!" Shelov chattered, "Sudan's agronomists will return to China in batches, and the next batch of experts is working The arrangement is in progress. There is also the Computer Research Institute of the Third General Administration who is studying ternary computers. If the promotion of ternary computers is considered, the current research has been turned, and the next topic is the research of ternary supercomputers. On the issue of meat reserves in each frontier military region, my suggestion is to establish a breeding farm belonging to the military region, and each company should establish its own breeding farm. Because cattle eat too much and are picky, the farms in the border defense military region only raise poultry and poultry. Domestic pig!"

Shelov murmured all the research when Shelepin was away, and added again, "Old secretary, in fact, from the perspective of meat supply, domestic pigs are obviously more cost-effective than other animals. Our alliance's supply of pork is actually better than beef. Moreover, cattle need far more feed than domestic pigs, which has put a lot of pressure on our agriculture. More than 20 million tons of crops are eaten by them a year, and the grain production in Poland is only this amount… "

Although it has long been known that the food problem in the Soviet Union is different from the concept of China and India, after returning from Sudan, Serov was surprised after in-depth investigation. In addition to the waste caused by the poor logistics system, the Soviet Union was preparing Buying food with foreign currency is running this expensive meat supply system at the same time. To put it bluntly, the cows of the Soviet Union are better than the people of China and India.

   "You will handle all these things in the future. When Semichasny first came here, he must not be familiar with the work of our department. You have to help him more!" Shelepin did not hear all of Shelov's complaints. He turned to the question of KGB funding, mainly hoping that Serov could make up for the funding gap of the department.

"There is no problem with the funding of the First General Administration. The old secretary, Lieutenant General Sakhartowski is just pretending. The comrades of the Americas Division have a good relationship with many local drug lords in the Americas! One Americas Division can support the first The intelligence network of the General Administration." Shelov told Shelepin directly about this.

"As for our factory in Italy and many products, it may take half a year to recover the funds. It should not be a big problem. You don't have to worry about it, Chairman! The difficulty of our KGB's funding problem is to expand the world's industries, and at the same time to feed back to the domestic market. As long as this year’s investment period has passed, there will be no major problems in the future!” Shelov said nonchalantly, it is necessary for the KGB to set up some global industries, which is what the KGB did in history, of course. Now with Shelov will be more successful.

Shelepin nodded clearly, the haze in his heart was dispelled a lot by Serov's words, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you read the aid plan? After our evaluation, it will be sent to the first secretary of the Kremlin. Approval, didn't I ask you to come back and review it?"

   "The plan to aid India? I've seen it!" Shelov motioned for Shelepin to wait a moment, and then went out to the office of the First Vice-President next to him to get a document, but Shelepin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to read it.

   "You go to the Kremlin with me now and hand over this document to the first secretary!" Sherepin's words surprised Serov, because this is the right of the chairman of the KGB. In fact, this kind of risk assessment report for assisting a country, especially in the face of a big country like India, is not qualified to review by Serov. This kind of work should be done by Sherepin, the chairman of the KGB. (To be continued~^~)
