Chapter 248 Fake Propaganda Department
The first manned space flight of manned space is about to become a reality and has entered the final sprint stage. Korolev has not yet set his last day, but Selov, who has a deep understanding of the current domestic atmosphere in the Soviet Union, knows that the faster the day, the better, and it must be completed in front of the Americans. Judging from the profound hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War, once the Soviet Union completes its feat first, the United States will immediately invest huge sums of money to catch up.
Judging from the exchange ratios revealed in later generations, the Soviet Union did a pretty good job. It was to make very accounting exchange ratios at a not-so-large cost, simply to make the Americans spend more money, while they themselves cut the number of regular troops to save funds.
"Comrade Korolev, then I am willing to go to Baikonur Space Center to witness this great moment. That will be the first time that we humans can break free from the shackles of the earth's gravity!" Whether it is a scientist like Korolev or an astronaut like Gagarin, they are undoubtedly the pillars of the motherland, and a country is supported by such people.
It is not that the so-called public intellectuals who know that they can write things and make the country die well after having nothing to do. There are a large number of such people in Kazan General Mental Hospital. In order to help these patients recover as soon as possible, Selov created an environment that is very suitable for cultivation, where birds and flowers are singing, and where the environment is pleasant. People will be sublimated spiritually after staying for a long time. If they are willing to take them in for a lifetime, Selov is very willing.
But from the perspective of cost, Selov still believes that these people should go to the free country to study, but they don’t know if the United States is willing to raise these idiots who are not only eating or sleeping. It should be true that the United States likes to raise dissidents of its enemies. Relying solely on Kazan to imprison the number of prisoners imprisoned by Kazan does not seem to meet this requirement.
It doesn't matter. The Soviet Union is also the leader of the socialist camp after all. If there are not enough people in one country, they can ask for help from brother countries. Besides, the Soviet Union borders Afghanistan and Iran, a country with a strong religious atmosphere, if there are not enough extremists in Central Asia and the Caucasus, the KGB border guards can completely catch some cross-border and replenish them.
"I'm excited to think about it. I really hope the Cuban missile crisis will begin soon!" In the empty office of the First Vice Chairman of the KGB, Selov was like a mentally ill patient staring at the Americas and laughing.
The waters around Cuba are a relatively important region according to the US naval theory, but according to the Soviet Red Navy's maritime nuclear war theory, the importance must be increased by several levels. No wonder the Soviet Union attaches so much importance to this only ally in the Western Hemisphere.
"The first vice chairman, Lieutenant General Serjiuko, has arrived, and several vice presidents in Moscow are already waiting in the conference room!" Iseymotney pushed the door and did not forget to pose.
"Okay, I'll go there right away!" Selov narrowed his eyes on Iseymotney and swept twice, then suddenly reached out and slapped him on the fat buttocks under Iseymotney's military pants. The sound was very crisp, making the little girl feel coquettish.
Xie Lieping is currently working in the Secretariat. In the current power center of Ruby Yangka Square, Selov is currently acting for a period of rights. According to Xie Lieping, his complete resignation may still take until the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the second half of the year. In other words, the KGB will have a vacuum period of more than nine months. This period is the transitional stage between Xie Lieping and the next KGB chairman, Xie Michasne. In name, he is still the chairman of the KGB, but in fact it is not a major matter. Xie Lieping will not interfere.
The little girl always seduces me. Did she fall in love with me? Selov thought narcissistically. It is not impossible in this era full of ideals. Of course, rationally, he is more inclined to have greater status factors.
"For well-known reasons, our Chairman, Comrade Xie Lieping, will not work in Ruby Yangka often except for major matters. Our National Security Committee's work is currently temporarily represented by Comrade Yitwasov and me. Until the new KGB chairman takes office, there is still no slack of slack in security work. Today, we called the comrades here mainly to discuss the blind spots in our work!" After Selov sat down, he first gave an opening remark, saying that he and another first vice chairman of the KGB were temporarily represented by the KGB work, and after being recognized by Itwasov, the next question began.
After Lieutenant General Aliksai was appointed as the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs, the number of members of the KGB presidium expanded again. With Lieutenant General Sakhatovsky, Director of the First General Administration, the number of KGB presidium is currently fifteen. Of course, Selov knew that in secret, Selov had two hidden allies. The Chairman of the Leningrad KGB and the Chairman of the Ukrainian KGB are his friends. According to Selov's private talk, "The remnants of Beria are hidden deep enough..."
"About the blind spots of the KGB work, I discussed with the first vice chairman Comrade Yitwasov and I believed that our security work is too focused on strong suppression, and of course there is nothing wrong with this. But we cannot just emphasize this point." After a long discussion, Selov began to explain the current aspects of the insufficient security work of the KGB.
This kind of long-term discussion, including members of the KGB presidium and directors of major general bureaus, has not been seen for the first time in recent years. Usually, Selov made a long-term discussion to start analyzing this and that only one problem can be explained. The National Security Council, the institution, will usher in the establishment of a new department.
"That's it. Sometimes people's dissatisfaction with the country needs reasonable guidance!" It seems that they know that this set may not work if they have been seen too many times. This time, Selov quickly ended the alarmist statement of unknown number. Due to the fact that the technology of the times is not so convenient, he cannot find a website similar to the pig farming website, and can only achieve his goals through relatively primitive methods.
"So Comrade Selov and I believe that a department should be established to meet this challenge. The newly established department is independently organized within the State Administration of Espionage and belongs to the independent working department. Its status is equivalent to the false intelligence department of the State Administration of Foreign Intelligence. It is also called Department D. Its authority is mainly responsible for confusing domestic and foreign audio-visual audio-visual work, and it has similarities with the work of the Fake Intelligence Department, but it mainly focuses on publicity. This is our new department of the State Administration of Espionage and the Fake Publicity Department!" Yitvasov coughed softly and added what Selov did not finish.
Then the two introduced the specific work of the fake propaganda department one after another. The work of the fake propaganda department is currently limited to three aspects. The first type of work is the simplest, which is to find out the reports of the Western world scolding the Soviet Union and let the people in the Soviet Union know it in a classified manner. This is the simplest. Even Khrushchev has a high status and knows the virtues of the Western media. It is not too easy to find slander against the Soviet Union in the Western world. It is considered a dereliction of duty if you cannot find a hundred reports a day.
The second task is to spread rumors and spread conspiracy theories. For countries like the Soviet Union, because all the rich and unkind guys have been eliminated, the people's eyes will naturally focus on the government departments. There are about two classes in the Soviet Union, party members and people. This is not a normal state structure. Traditionally, the normal structure of a country should be the structure of a pyramid, which requires capitalists, middle-class and poor people at the bottom. However, the Soviet Union has no capitalists. Because of the prevalence of egalitarianism, there will be no middle-class and poor people. Therefore, the Soviet Union actually does not have a strong ruling class. There are only a seemingly powerful party member class, but in fact this class is not strong at all. If it is really strong and one will maintain its rule, the Soviet Union will not disintegrate. The people and ordinary party members can actually circulate at will, and this political structure of the Soviet Union is easily disintegrated.
Therefore, given the fragility of the Soviet Communist Party, it is necessary for Selov to let the people know what the real world is like, start from conspiracy theories and rumors, cooperate with real information, and promote it in a closed environment like the Cold War. As we all know, the lack of common sense in some countries is unbelievable, such as not being able to distinguish between Georgia and Georgia, thinking that socialist people are driven to work by whips, and their low understanding of the Soviet Union is outrageous. Then find out this information and let the Soviet people know what kind of virtue the other people have, so that the people can also have a sense of superiority in IQ.
Even Selov wanted to use the KGB to get a batch of romance action movies from the United States, preferably with heavy tastes, but considering that the KGB's work is so sacred, it is always a bit weird to do such things.
The Soviet Union and the entire socialist camp were at a double disadvantage in the population and influence. They could only start with the quality of the population. They must ensure that their country had less garbage and wait for the opportunity to make Americans make mistakes.
"Then, Comrade Serjiko, this matter is left to you. As for the specific propaganda personnel, we can ask Golinov and Comrade Meshatsev to find the people we need. Sometimes the people do not deliberately oppose the country, but their information is blocked. We must let the people know all the news. There may be some chaos in a short period of time, but it seems absolutely beneficial in a long period of time!" Serov made the following summary of the work of the fake propaganda department.
"Comrade First Vice Chairman, I will communicate well with the comrades in the propaganda agency!" Lieutenant General Serjiuke was naturally happy. The increase in his department's institutions is of course worth celebrating.
The establishment of the new department was a happy scene, at least unanimously approved at the KGB meeting. So the aspiring Selov, who was full of confidence, was called by the person sent by Suslov before he could even sit down at work the next day. (To be continued.)
