Big Time 1958

Chapter 3: Year-End Meeting

The    car stopped in front of the headquarters of the Military Administration, gave Serov a hug, and Valya drove away. Serov took a long breath, letting the cold wind in Moscow blow away his chaotic thoughts, and then he entered his job from under the Soviet national emblem covering the whole world at the door of the building.

In all fairness, Serov is far from being as indifferent as it seems on the surface. He does not understand advanced theories and medical knowledge, but he does know the basic principles. The facts are obvious. Compared with normal people, he is now abnormal. Whether this change is good or bad, it is always a knot in his heart.

“If I die young, will I be set up as a model? Become a communist example when the document is issued?” With a smile like a spring breeze, Serov nodded to the oncoming comrade of the General Administration of Military Administration, and arrived without delay. own office.

Came to his office and hung the military coat on the hanger by the door. Serov took out the schedule from the table. Tomorrow he went to inspect the 404 military factory, the day after tomorrow he went to the Moscow Military Region to inspect the KGB garrison office, and the day after tomorrow he went to the General Staff. The various schedules have been arranged until the middle of the year. After the 15th, the year-end meeting will be held on the 11th of Lubyanka Square. The more than 20 KGB general bureau-level cadres who can’t get together all year round will be rare.

“Director, it’s late today!” Just after closing the schedule, he heard his confidential secretary, Issey Motney, walk in with a cup of pre-brewed coffee in her hand. The satin-like long chestnut hair was combed into a refreshing ponytail, and the tall beauties in military uniforms came, and they were very eye-catching wherever they were placed.

“Notify the chiefs of the various departments to prepare the materials, and prepare for the meeting in fifteen minutes!” But Serov, who can see beautiful women every day, obviously work is the most important thing, he glanced at the wrist watch and said, “Before that, I have to eat first. , you can send the meal from the cafeteria directly to the conference room…”

“Our chief hasn’t eaten yet, giggling, I’ll prepare right away!” Isamotney smiled and exited Shelov’s chief’s office.

So when fifteen minutes later, when the twelve chiefs arrived at the conference room, they saw the following scene. Serov, who was lying on the table, turned his back to everyone, and kept stuffing things into his mouth with the two small wooden sticks in his hands. Just like the soldiers who had just retreated from the Stalingrad front.

Serov, who also heard the door slamming, shoved the last piece of potato, and threw the chopsticks on the plate and pushed it to the side. Lukani, who was already waiting on the side, took the leftovers and wiped the table while twisting her waist. back down.

“I’m sorry, comrades! Something has delayed the meeting today!” Serov said with a burp without hesitation.

Um! I can tell! All the chiefs looked at each other, and it must have been a very important thing to forget about eating.

“Okay, Lubyanka will hold a meeting in half a month to summarize the work of our National Security Committee throughout the year. Before that, I must first verify the work of our Third General Directorate this year, and now I will start! “Sherov said something as usual, and then let the chiefs of the various divisions speak.

“The data we are in charge of the four divisions corresponding to the domestic military region are all with me. Comrade Serov, let me make the statement first!” Colonel Pavlov, the head of the first division, took out a stack of documents and read, “Since the Beginning in the second half of the year, the results of the review of the Bonapartists in the Red Army are as follows. Ninety-four officers above retired major generals were dismissed, and one hundred and fifty-seven officers were in the rank of colonel. The officers at the lower ranks were deceived and caused little harm. , so we basically took educational measures! After September, we conducted a thorough investigation of the underground publications of the Red Army, and found thirteen underground publications of the enemy!”

Listening to Colonel Pavlov’s speech, Serov dragged his chin with his right hand, hoping to find something new in it, but unfortunately he didn’t find it. After Colonel Pavlov’s speech, Serov concluded, “Our General Administration has just been established. One year, so many things are in the initial stage, time is pressing, we must be vigilant against the destruction of the Red Army by hostile forces, next year we have a whole year, we must clear the Bonaparte elements within one year, the Red Army must Loyal to the party and the country, the barriers to defend the people cannot have independent thoughts, do you comrades understand?”

“Soviet, Ulla!” As if they had been rehearsed, the twelve division chiefs responded to Serov’s summary in unison.

“Our Seventh Division is responsible for inspecting and defending all military-industrial enterprises in the country to prevent the imperialists from taking advantage of the loopholes in the process! During this process, we found shameful waste in the military factories around the country. After calculation by us and the General Administration of Technology , it is 20% higher than the waste we can afford!” The seventh division chief Shiselev stood up and reported that the fifth and sixth divisions mainly correspond to the four major clusters of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, but due to the shortage of personnel, it is still empty. , so after Colonel Pavlov’s report, it was the seventh place.

Factory waste? It seems that this is not the first time Serov has encountered this problem. In Moscow last year, or earlier in Azerbaijan, he had already seen the rough production process of local factories. It’s no wonder that comrades from other countries are not interested in the Soviet socialist line after visiting. In other words, the Soviet Union’s development model, except that it can do this with its own information including half of Asia, other countries will definitely go bankrupt if they dare to do this. .

Unnaturally knocking on the table a few times, Serov said slowly, “This situation is very important, the country cannot afford such a huge waste in the stage of development, at the meeting of the KGB Presidium in half a month, I will give special attention to Chairman Shelepin. Explain this aspect, regulate the authority of our General Administration of Military Administration, conduct comprehensive monitoring of the military factories belonging to the national defense industry, and improve production efficiency while avoiding waste!”

Serov and his twelve direct subordinates studied the achievements of the General Administration of Military Administration in the first year. It can be said that the Third General Administration was officially established for one year, and the effect has begun to be reflected. Answer sheet, “Comrades, do you have any questions to report?”

“Director, at the border between us and Afghanistan in Central Asia, the border guards captured a gang that transported drugs and goods! This is the information!” The director of the twelve divisions took out a file and stood up and raised it. The departments that communicate with the General Administration of Military Administration and the Border Guard have slightly overlapping functions and powers.

“Throw it over and let me see!” Shelov’s voice just fell, and a stack of documents smashed into Shelov’s face. This slap in the face made the surrounding chiefs dare not take a breath, and they all looked at their chiefs calmly. How to freak out.
