Big Time 1958

Chapter 24: Berlin Crisis

“What’s wrong with the GDR?” Serov drank the water poured by Comrade Chairman comfortably. He was quite enjoying it. This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. , only Serov himself has no semicolon.

“As a director of the General Administration, don’t you think you are derelict?” Xie Lepin said very incomprehensibly, “We and the United States are about to fight because of Berlin on the front line. You, the director of the General Administration of Military Administration, have a little problem with Berlin. Do you understand?”

What’s wrong with this? Shelov is the director of the Third General Administration. The affairs of Berlin belong to the First General Administration. It is normal to not know the specific situation. Shelov feels that Shelepin is playing on the topic. Bloody head, but don’t say it, Serov will sympathize with him, and being able to hold back and not laugh is worthy of their personal friendship,

Shelepin has become accustomed to the same stubborn thinking as Serov granite. He took out a document bag directly from the table and still said to Serov, “Aren’t you going to accompany your wife? Well, it’s worthy of the model couple’s pennant that the city government sent you, giving you fifteen days to read the information on the document, Then go to Berlin and take a seat. If you can solve the Berlin crisis, it can be regarded as a great contribution to our Soviet motherland, and a medal for meritorious service to the motherland is indispensable…”

“Berlin Crisis?” Hearing this sentence, Serov’s thoughts came out of the domestic pattern. He had a feeling of seeing the world with his eyes open. He shoved the file bag into his briefcase and said, “Head, we have more than 20 KGBs. The General Administration, the 200 divisions, and the 200,000 agency personnel, don’t you think it’s wrong to always let me be the vanguard? Should the work of the General Administration of Military Administration be put down first?”

In a huge organization composed of millions of people, the first person to be remembered by Comrade Chairman is always him. On the one hand, it is the recognition of Shelov’s ability, but letting him come forward again and again makes Shelov think of the pill of the Qing Empire.

“It’s up to you to handle the affairs of the Third General Administration. I have full confidence in your ability. There is no problem at all in having two jobs. I have always believed that you are the most suitable for our entire profession in the entire KGB!” Shelepin has no morals. Said, in the words I am very optimistic about you.

Should I thank you for looking up to me so much? Serov is very disgusted by this kind of earnest tone, and he has two jobs? Why not consider double pay? “I’ll try my best…”

“Berlin’s problems are the most suitable for you, and you are the most suitable representative in all aspects!” Shelepin breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried about putting the time bomb of Serov in the country. As the most murderous General Administration Chief, instead of making the Red Army cadres uneasy at home, it is better to put them in Berlin to disgust the imperialists.

The communication between the two can be regarded as settled, and now we can talk about the support we need. One of the advantages of being in an organization like the KGB is that I don’t worry about falling into the situation of fighting alone. Shelov thought about all aspects. Possibility said, “I want the cooperation of the Fourth Division of the First General Bureau!”

“No problem!” Xie Lieping happily agreed, according to the division of the first general bureau, the fourth bureau is not large, and the establishment is incomparable with some major bureaus, the fourth bureau is only responsible for The intelligence activities of the two countries are the Federal Republic of Germany and Austria.

“There are still eleven divisions!” The internal name advisory department of the eleven divisions is the department of the KGB responsible for liaison with the intelligence agencies of the entire allied countries. People in this department usually hold important positions in the intelligence agencies of the countries where they are located, and are responsible for the relationship between the KGB and the intelligence agencies of various countries. communication between.

“Is there any engineer unit in the Western Cluster?” Serov finally asked an idiot question. It stands to reason that as the director of the General Administration of Military Administration, no one should know the situation of the Soviet Red Army better than him. The fact is so ironic, the Third General Administration It has just been established for a year, and the intelligence agencies in the four major clusters in Eastern Europe have not yet been established, and they even need the help of the intelligence agencies of the host countries.

“The 201st Engineering Brigade of the Red Flag is in the preparation of the Western Cluster! You can help you communicate with the Ministry of Defense!” Shelepin returned to his desk, unscrewed the pen and signed the KGB Chairman’s Order, ordering all departments of the Soviet KGB to cooperate with Serov’s Work, this chairman’s decree is not only binding on the KGB department, even the intelligence department of the host country will cooperate with the work of the Soviet Union.

Among the headquarters of the various bureaus, the headquarters of the First General Bureau and the KGB headquarters are the closest, only a distance from the Children’s Palace. The Children’s Palace, which is located between the two headquarters, often receives elementary school students on statutory holidays, and KGB agents can often see innocence. children around. Serov can’t say whether this situation is good or bad, but he is sure that this Children’s Palace should be the safest place in the whole world. If any criminal starts to attack the children here, be careful that tens of thousands of KGB agents around will rush out and tear him to pieces. Fragments.

“Smash the document, I’m going in to communicate with Comrade Sakhartowski. After all, it’s the job of the First General Administration!” Serov, who got out of the car, instructed Isamotny to destroy the document that he had just browsed. Now the entire document has been Remembered in the mind, the meaning of the document will no longer exist.

It is not the first time that Serov of the First General Bureau has come here. He has been a part of this place for a long time. Since he entered the building, people have been greeting him continuously, but this time he did not see his two subordinates, and the operation was carried out everywhere. Minister Menderev and Minister of Disinformation Shilekov.

“The chairman sent me to sit in Berlin, I don’t know if it’s a demotion this time!” As soon as he entered the door, Serov smiled bitterly at Lieutenant General Sakhartowski, the big boss of the First General Bureau, “It seems that I I have never been far from the work of the General Administration of Foreign Intelligence, and this time I want to cooperate with you again…”

“If it was you who handled it, I wouldn’t have any surprises at all!” Lieutenant General Sakhartowski didn’t show up at all because Serov transferred some of his forces. When he took over the First General Bureau, Serov was in the foreign intelligence department As the director, it can be said that he has never left his sight.

“But I don’t have confidence now. Berlin is the front line, far from being in Italy. The United States can be caught off guard!” Serov’s mood is not high, it is because he can’t find a breakthrough point.

“No matter what, our First General Bureau will definitely support you. Don’t worry about internal pressure!” At this time, Lieutenant General Sakhartowski was like an elder, and he was more than 20 years younger than himself. Year-old Serov encouraged.

“With your words, what should I be afraid of?” Shelov, who was encouraged, cheered up, “The result may not be changed by my efforts, but this is not an excuse for me not to work hard, thank you, Sakhartowski comrade…”
