Chapter 193 I am disappointed
I found a village to live in. A group of people wearing military uniforms entered a village. There were less than a hundred households in this village. In fact, it is more appropriate to call this small village by forest farms. The men and women in the forest farms are all workers of the enterprise. They are part of the Forestry Bureau of Liangzan Prefecture. When the logging season changes, they become loggers and go to the mountains to complete the logging task. In the season without logging tasks, they rely on hunting and farming in the mountains to make a living. Of course, in the season when the logging is not harvested, these people also receive wages from the Forestry Bureau, but about half of the winter logging cycle.
"Dad Vasily, are you going to patrol the mountain?" The mountainous areas are obviously cooler than in the city. Because of the many reservoirs around Moscow, it is actually quite warm in Soviet cities of the same latitude. If Serov's military coat is just a decoration in Moscow, it shows practical value here. However, wearing this autumn military uniform in winter is still a quest for death.
"Yes, General Selov!" Vasily, who was nearly 60 years old, wiped his beloved ******* and laughed at Selov, "If you encounter wild boars, black bears and other wild game, you soldiers will improve your food tonight."
Selov nodded in a clear mind and looked at the five or six dogs Vasily raised. They should have usually relied on these hunting dogs to hunt, but Vasily said that hunting wild boars is obviously bragging, and even if they encounter Vasily, they will not go hunting. The reason is very simple. The danger of wild boars is too great. Unless they are lucky, they will not solve the problem with one shot. The counterattack of the wild boar before death is likely to cause the death of the hunting dog. If you are unlucky, Vasily's hunting dog may die halfway. Compared with the losses suffered, a wild boar obviously cannot be compensated.
Unless Vasily had standard weapons used by the military, hunting rifles were unstoppable in the Soviet Union. Hunters before the 1960s could shoot and kill all the wild animals they saw, including polar bears and Siberian tigers. It seemed that the Soviet Union began to protect wild animals in its territory in the 1970s.
There is another reason why hunters in the forest farm enter the mountains in autumn. Spring and autumn are the peak periods of fires. Hunters in the forest farm enter the mountains and patrol the forest areas to eliminate possible fire hazards, especially in places like Liangzanzhou, where forestry resources are very rich. Smoking is prohibited for employees in the mountains. Of course, the regulations are regulations. If they really bring the fire source in, they will not know. The government and enterprises will regard fire prevention as the key point of their work in spring and autumn. It will also play a role when they hear and see each other every day. Although it is a bit long-winded, it is better than doing nothing. If they ignore it, there will be a big problem.
"I'd better let two soldiers go in with you. The hunting rifle in your hand is still lacking in dealing with animals such as wild boars and black bears!" Selov looked at Uncle Vasily, dressed in a hunter, and ignored whether the other party agreed.
To be fair, Selov is very adapted to the environment here, with mountains, waters and forests. He is not bragging, but he knows most of the number of Liangzan Prefecture. This kind of forest farm and the organizational form of the Forestry Bureau also makes him miss it very much. He grew up in this environment. The only difference may be that the area of Liangzan Prefecture is much larger than the forestry bureau he had in his previous life.
Liangzan Prefecture has a temperate continental climate, with an average annual precipitation of 500 to 575 mm, an average annual warming period of 210 to 218 days, and a frost-free period of 135 to 145 days. The main river in the state, Oka River, divides it into two parts: the north is a forest belt, and the south is a broad-leaved forest belt and a forest grassland belt. This climate is like a hometown for Selov. The difference is that most of the forests in Liangzan Prefecture are primeval forests that have not been cut down yet, while his hometown is still a famous forest area in terms of information. Locals know that the so-called forests on the mountain are mostly leftover artificial forests, and the primeval forests have disappeared.
"The area of Liangzan Prefecture is nearly 40,000 square kilometers, and the population of the whole province is 920,000, and the number of Russians exceeds 97%. Looking at the information in his hand, Serov's only sigh was that the population was too small. His hometown, Snow City, in his previous life, also had an area of 40,000 square kilometers, but the population in the jurisdiction there was already more than 2 million. It has not yet been included in other county-level cities.
Chatting with the workers in the village, Selov asked indirectly about the specific news about Liangzan Prefecture, and chatted with a group of lumberjacks with interest, "I heard that your Liangzan's development is quite good. Secretary Larionov has tripled the meat indicators in your state. The first secretary also praised you Liangzan at the National Conference. I have all heard of Liangzan's spirit..."
At the end of last year, Khrushchev said excitedly when he met with TASS: "Now, there is a particularly huge upward situation everywhere in the Soviet Union and other socialist countries. Even those of us who participated in this construction are sometimes surprised. I cannot help but tell you the strong impression that the achievements of the workers of Ryazan have left me. This state, which was economically backward in the past, suddenly promised to double the meat production in one year compared to last year. It is no joke! Of course, you can also put forward numbers and turn your promises around like the Ginsang people in the past, and turn your promises away. But the Ryazan people did not intend to escape anywhere. They made a promise and fulfilled it smoothly. Very good, comrades! The Ryazan people have now anticipated the pleasant and well-deserved glory that they have obtained through the promises they have made. And not only is this the case in Ryazan State!"
If Selov was not mistaken in other socialist countries, if Selov guessed correctly, it should refer to China. It seems that the problems in agriculture at the same time were also related to the Soviet Union's competition with China.
"Larionov? That lunatic? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have handed over all the livestock. They were all for his damn task! They were all for his plan in his mouth!" a young woman in her thirties with a headscarf said bluntly.
"Sia? Stop talking!" A worker wearing a fur hat next to him opened his mouth and scolded him. It seemed that he was the young woman's husband, and he was dissatisfied with his wife's big mouth on such occasions.
"Oh?" Selov was stunned and called Iseymotney over and whispered. The forest farm was not big, and it could be seen in half an hour. After Iseymotney came back, he reported, "There are only a few households in the forest farm to breed domestic animals, and the remaining domestic animals have been purchased by the state government!"
Now, Selov certainly understood what happened. In order to complete the results he reported, Rarionov, the secretary of the Liangzan Prefecture Party Committee, adopted the method of killing chickens and retrieving eggs. He acquired and slaughtered all the livestock in the entire Liangzan Prefecture and completed the production indicators. He left the family directly and returned to the public dormitory of the forest farm. He asked Lukani to operate the telegram machine he brought out. Selov sent a telegram to the Fifth General Administration, asking the Secret Police Bureau to investigate the livestock breeding situation in Liangzan Prefecture. Then he sent a report to the State Administration of Internal Affairs in the surrounding states, checking that there was no record of the purchase of meat in Liangzan Prefecture.
In the evening, Uncle Vasily and the soldiers of the inner guard who entered the mountain together came back and brought back a deer. The fire was so happy that the fire was peeling and waiting for the meat. Sherov did not let the workers in the forest farm continue to be busy and asked the soldiers to deal with the prey. But it was obvious that the soldiers were not as good as these hunters who were relying on the mountain to eat the mountain. After watching for a while, Uncle Vasily took the battle to peel and chop the meat. Everyone set up a big pot in the courtyard of the forest farm, took out the spirits they treasured at home and waited for the meal.
"What a pity, I only encountered this one, otherwise I could roast a deer." Uncle Vasily's words smelled a pity.
"I don't know how much it is worth for this deer. Uncle Vasily, a hundred rubles may not be much!" Selov took the money from his pocket and handed it to the old hunter.
"What are you doing? You soldiers are here to visit!" Uncle Vasily hurriedly refused. After the two of them broke up for a while, Selov stuffed the money into the old hunter's pocket. Looking at the busy group of people, he whispered, "We are not soldiers, but national security cadres. This time we came to Liangzan to investigate the case!"
"Who are you looking?" At noon, Vasily was still in the mountains and didn't know what happened in the forest farm.
"Larionov!" Selov said without any hesitation. Unless he was a person who was particularly concerned about policies, few people knew who their state party secretary was. Compared to the couple he met during the day, Uncle Vasily belonged to the latter. He had no idea that Larionov was their state party secretary, and he thought he was a fugitive. He was also preparing to discuss the terrain of the mountainous areas with Selov and tell these inner guard soldiers where the fugitive might be hidden. Selov had to make amusement and cry that the fugitive had left the range of the forest farm.
After drinking and eating, Selov and his team rested for one day in this small forest farm and continued to rush to Ryazan Prefecture the next day. The KGB was efficient enough to find out many problems within one day. Before leaving, Selov had received telegrams from the KGB institutions in the surrounding states. Ryazan Prefecture often entered the convoys of meat purchases in their area, so they had to set up road blocks on the road.
Two hours later, Selov entered the city of Ryazan. Without the knowledge of the state party secretary Larionov, he found a place to stay in Ryazan. Soon, the director of the Liangazan State Bureau of Internal Affairs and the KGB Chairman appeared in front of him.
"As a national security cadre, I am very disappointed with the ability of you two!" Shelov, who stood in front of them for a long time, said slowly, "Has the food production plan in Liangzanzhou been completed?"
Selov's words hit the hearts of two people like a hammer. They immediately knew why Selov appeared in Ryazan Prefecture and immediately said, "Vice Chairman, Larionov is the main model of the First Secretary's publicity, and we dare not sing against the Central Committee!"
"Oh? This time I will teach you a national security cadre how to work. After you go back, you keep an eye on Larionov. I am afraid of committing suicide due to crimes, so I immediately sent someone to block all the grain warehouses and meat and food warehouses in Ryazan Prefecture!" Selov gritted his teeth and stared at the two Ryazan police leaders and said, "You'd better seize this opportunity to make meritorious service on crime, otherwise, hum..." (To be continued.)
