Big Time 1958

   During the Cold War, the Soviet Union provided industrial aid to many countries. Among them, China and India were the largest, with more small projects in India and more large projects in China. But the two are quite different. The difference lies in time. The Chinese side quickly accepted and digested the industrial system given by the Soviet Union.

On the Indian side, I don’t know whether it was because the Soviet Union was afraid of a repeat of the same scene in China, or because India had a problem with its own capabilities, and it took a long time to digest the Soviet industrial system. It took a long time from the 1960s to the 1980s. It took twenty years to digest all the things that the Soviet Union had given.

  Currently, the aid to India is at a stage of slow flow. As a national security agency, the KGB will review some industrial projects to see if there is any threat to the Soviet Union. In the Kremlin, Sherepin and Shelov walked through the long corridor to Khrushchev's office.

   If there is a country that the Soviet Union has a better relationship with, it should be India. At least India has no direct threat to the Soviet Union, and so far Khrushchev has never believed that China and India will fight to the point where they must fight each other. From a normal point of view, the area bordering China and India is not suitable as a battlefield. This is also the consensus on the border disputes between China and India under normal circumstances, and that place should be resolved peacefully.

"All of India's eight major aid plans for this year have been evaluated. We have not found any risks from the security aspect. The opinions of the National Security Committee have been written in the report, and we can wait for the approval of the Central Presidium at any time!" Sheloff paused for a while. He emphasized, "Intelligence work on South Asia is the weak point of the National Security Council. For a long time, our strategic direction has been the strongest in Europe, the other Americas, the Middle East and North Africa, and the intelligence network in South Asia has been working, but It can't be said to be strong! I think it is necessary to strengthen the work in South Asia. Comrade First Secretary..."

   "Tell me what you think!" Khrushchev waved his hands quite democratically, and Shelepin was taken aback. This situation is quite rare, at least Khrushchev was far less polite to other members of the Central Presidium.

   This is normal, because the rank between Serov and Khrushchev is very different, and usually Khrushchev is willing to show his democratic style in the face of uncommon cadres. Serov thought for a moment and said, "India's ethnic composition is rather complicated. I am going to recruit a group of Uzbeks. Of course, this is not all. There are three other directions as auxiliary forces. From the British colonies in Africa, and India. Afghanistan, which has good relations but is opposed to Pakistan, and Indonesia, which has a large Indian population, recruit spies, and the specific matters will be handed over to the Seventh Division of the First General Administration for organization, and part of the Seventh Division’s work covers India…”

   Is it wrong to do this when you are assisting a friendly country? The answer given by Khrushchev was no problem. Except for the countries in this world that have been searching for a long time and have not been able to find the use value. As long as the country has a little bit of space to use, the KGB's First General Directorate should have corresponding departments.

"Understood, your professionalism in security work is not questioned by the entire Central Presidium! You can prepare in advance, and organize the intelligence network in South Asia as soon as possible, preferably as strong as our intelligence network in Europe. !" Khrushchev put the aid report on India on the table, ready to hand it over to Kosygin.

   This seems to be a very high praise. The KGB has developed into a situation that is clear at a glance but somewhat incomprehensible in its organizational structure. At this time, it is not Serov who can’t make an inch, so under Shelepin’s eyes, his little brother is presumptuously drawn closer to the first secretary. The distance, of course, is all about work.

"First Secretary, I think this is the plan to build breeding farms in the major frontier military regions. In peacetime, soldiers should not wait for supplies like the people. I think major military regions should have basic logistics that belong to their own troops. Guarantee capacity, which can reduce some pressure on our supply system. Dedicate the extra capacity to meet the needs of the people, and the liberated capacity can also avoid some waste in transportation!" Shelov has not forgotten to add a sentence, "This is the intelligence we got from China. I have to say that it is a good way to analyze it!"

   This intelligence agent naturally exists, and it is Serov himself. It is enough for the valuable intelligence personnel to detect how the Chinese army raises pigs. At least Serov will not let the intelligence personnel do this kind of work. It is very difficult to organize intelligence networks in single-ethnic and socialist countries, and China accounts for both.

   "China? Well, you can promote it in your KGB frontier military area to see the effect!" Khrushchev agreed with Serov's suggestion as soon as he heard China's conditioned reflex.

   So Serov discovered a basic fact, the matter that the KGB Presidium had held several meetings and had not decided on seems to have been resolved here. Is there such a good thing? Serov instantly dismissed the idea of ​​leaving. He still has a lot of things to solve, but he can naturally solve it with the power of the KGB, but it is not as easy as Khrushchev's words.

"The General Administration of Technology has tested an improved windmill for wind power generation, which can be used in some remote areas to obtain electricity, especially in some parts of Siberia where supply is difficult!" , Serov is going to solve all the problems planned by the KGB within a year here. How many such problems are there? He can only say so much, so much...

   Regarding wind power generation, Serov certainly can’t use the **** energy saving and environmental protection as an excuse. The Soviet Union valued performance rather than this kind of thing. In addition to energy saving and environmental protection, of course there are other excuses, such as national security. Small wind turbines are not high-tech, they were used in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. The main advantage of promoting wind power generation is that most of the Soviet Union's huge territory is under attack by cold air, and it is too wasteful to not use such abundant resources.

   Serov regretted not bringing the weather statistics report east of the Ural Mountains, otherwise it would be easier for Khrushchev to realize this, and now he can only use the memory in his mind to persuade. Fortunately, this is not difficult, and it is not easy for Serov to forget what he has seen in a short time.

   "Does wind power have such a large capacity?" Like many projects, the Soviet Union achieved great results at the beginning, but then slowly gave up without knowing what was going on. In the 1930s, the Soviet Union produced a large number of small wind turbines, but in the end the Soviet Union felt that hydroelectric power seemed to be better.

  Currently, the Soviet Union's electricity shortage is not large, but this is based on the completion of development. Will the Soviet Union not build new factories? People don't need electricity? Those household appliances that appeared in the kitchen debate are not distributed to the people? Under the foreseeable circumstances, electricity in the Soviet Union will continue to develop. Didn't Lenin say that socialism is electrification? As Khrushchev, who has been elevating Lenin to counter Stalin's influence, he is naturally more willing to give his own answer on electrification.

   Accidentally, Serov found that he had succeeded again. Shelepin seemed to have discovered something. This feeling was like the feeling that he had been scraped by Serov. Yep, that's how it feels. Usually Serov is always on inspections, either abroad or at home. As long as he returns to Lubyanka Square 11, he usually sees Shelepin for the first time, and then he will bring a whole package of documents piled up in front of him.

   Normally, Serov would claim that he wrote these investigation reports himself. Of course, Serepin knew his subordinates very well, and he could only write 300 words for the review, and he would write the investigation report himself? It must be the two female secretaries around him who did it for him, and Serov was at best talking. This process usually starts with a report from the perspective of national security, and then it will go deeper and deeper. Once the two sides communicate easily and happily, Shelov will take out all the various plans in all the reports, and almost everything above. All are beneficial to the country and the people. In the end, Xie Lepin also felt good and approved all the above plans.

Shelepin was in charge of the National Security Council for two years. This situation happened three times in total. Now, seeing Serov’s various citing data to put forward one plan after another, it seems that the prospects are quite good. He knows that it seems to be the fourth time. The first secretary met.

"Both fungus and mushrooms are good for preservation. Can fungus be eaten with mustard? It doesn't matter if our people don't approve of this kind of thing, we can export it to China, and then tell our people that this natural food is very popular in China. , you can just copy a few Chinese medicine books from China!" Serov said on the issue of non-staple food sales in forestry areas. Although this roundabout approach does not reflect Lao Maozi's character, it is very much in line with the work attributes of the KGB.

  Khrushchev nodded frequently, and said to Shelepin after a while, "Shurik, let's have dinner together later..."

"I can guarantee that the United Arab Republic will disintegrate within this year, Egypt and Syria will be cut off by Israel and become two unconnected lands, and the Egyptian side has a certain attitude towards Syria, according to the report of the Middle East Division of the First General Administration. The Syrian side is quite dissatisfied with this. In my opinion, once Syria has endured enough, this United Republic will be disintegrated!" Serov threw a bomb in front of Khrushchev and Shelepin.

   Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Serov tried his best to tell all the plans that had been backlogged recently. Just as Shelepin had speculated, he took the opportunity to get support for the KGB's package plan. In one day, Serov received twenty approvals from Khrushchev, and all plans were approved.
