Chapter 260: Control Without Theory
Internathanal, international communist thought, is the best name, it is a very appropriate thing in terms of nominal and propaganda. Of course, the difficulty in promoting this kind of computer network is very huge, and the biggest resistance is not others, but the departments under the Central Presidium, Secretariat, Nationality and the Council of Ministers. These departments together have nearly one hundred.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union had computer networks, but did not form a network that expanded to the entire alliance. This was the resistance. The computers used by each department were connected to the institutions of its own department, and even the computer software was specially customized for confidentiality. It can be said that the computers of each department were different. This attitude of each department made the Soviet Union not only not lagging behind in the early development of computers, but in some places it was a little faster than the United States. But just like the process of many Soviet work, the assistance became resistance in the later stage.
As an ordinary person who doesn't know much about computer networks, Selov's most intuitive feeling is reflected in one aspect, that is, if the Soviet Union could promote the Internet earlier than the United States, it would likely reverse the current unfavorable publicity situation. New technologies will break the American public opinion advantage. As the first vice chairman of the KGB, he can still see that breaking the American public opinion advantage is certainly not about achieving equality, but about taking this public opinion advantage into his own hands.
It can be said that experts like Selov, Academician Biglushkov and Colonel Koskitov, who are the first vice president of the KGB, are more interested in cybernetics. The technological progress will make the KGB sector more like a fish in water. After all, the KGB is not just an intelligence department, it is only part of the work of the KGB. For the current KGB, it is also an important part of the Soviet police system. The emergence of the Internet will greatly improve the KGB operation efficiency.
Academician Glushkov and Colonel Koskitov would not have thought that their conversation today would make the entire KGB department a strong support for cybernetic scholars. Of course, the support of the KGB was not in vain. When talking about this to the security cadres within the department, Serov mainly mentioned that the monitoring capabilities of the entire alliance were greatly improved, which is naturally what makes every security cadre the most excited. The anti-counterfeiting workers in this industry have a common wish, that is, they hope that the world has no secrets in their own eyes.
"The first step in establishing an Internet is to break the independent computer customization of each department, otherwise it will become one local area network, and this will not develop the advantages of the Internet!" Serov described a lofty scene to the two cybernetic experts. The benefits are as if he had seen them with his own eyes. Of course, he had seen them with his own eyes, and almost became an otaku who could live with just one network cable.
"This is very difficult. There may be no progress in a few years. The interests of each department are different. It will take time to persuade them!" Selov shrugged helplessly and hoped that the two experts would be mentally prepared. "Even the intellectual class, there must be a lot of opposition. Maybe they think the KGB is ready to use this network to monitor the whole society."
These people's concerns are not wrong. If it were not for comparative monitoring of the whole society, the KGB would naturally support the establishment of the Internet, but would definitely not be so enthusiastic. Even Serov was the case. If the Internet was born in the Soviet Union in the future, it can be foreseen that the rights and importance of the Seventh and Eighth General Administrations of the KGB will be greatly improved. And the current First and Second General Administrations will not become auxiliary institutions.
The three of them talked for a whole day, and Selov used the Soviet Union's own national conditions to dispel the two's ideal ideas, from technology and funds to interests between departments. It cannot be solved without ten years. Technically speaking, we cannot only build a batch of electronic tube computers and eliminate them immediately. Americans can do this, but they are rich. Wouldn't it be idle if the Soviet Union did this?
After seeing off the two, Selov thought about it, called the director of the Seventh General Administration and assigned the ternary computer research group affiliated with the Seventh General Administration to the Seventh General Administration for management. As for Academician Sukachev's group of scientists, it is not necessary. Military farmers do not separate their families. Isn't the seventh TV station in the motherland in his previous life the agriculture and military channels...
"Are you interested in cybernetics? Yuri!" The newly appointed People's Committee member of the Internal Affairs and an old friend of Selov. Lieutenant General Alyksai, the remnant of the Beria Party, came to the office of the First Vice Chairman. In the past few days, Selov and a group of experts learned computer knowledge, the entire KGB knew about it.
"Wrong, I'm not interested in cybernetics, I'm very interested in control!" Selov had nothing to hide in front of this old friend. He directly expressed his thoughts, looked up and met Aliksai's eyes that could see through everything. This kind of eyes was admiration and agreement.
"A real KGB!" Alyksai didn't know whether he was talking about Selov or himself, or both.
There are many most important characteristics that a real KGB can have. But the most basic characteristic should be loyalty. The most intuitive feeling that Khrushchev's reforms currently give Serov the most is the thawing of the Soviet cultural community. In fact, Furteva should have felt this information earlier, which of course is mixed. Serov has asked Major General Kadpov to closely monitor the movements in this regard and recorded the intellectuals who have complained about the Soviet Union recently. After all, the free country needs them. This is also for the good of these people, and these people in the United States can scold them more happily.
The best way to interpret the loyalty of the KGB is to eliminate the enemy of the country and a heavyweight enemy. Unfortunately, there is no such person as Malenkov to let Selov show the loyalty of the KGB. In a sense, Selov is also waiting for the history of the Inverted Hep coup.
Of course, he has more important things to do. Khrushchev was having a great time talking with the visiting Cuban delegation. It is estimated that the result of the talks was that the Soviet Union was preparing to eat all the sugar in Cuba. The security cadre next to him was not Selov, but also the head of another powerful department. This person, Selov, knew his former immediate boss, the chairman of the Soviet National Security Council before Serepin, and the current Gruu-controller General Selov. Because of the Petropopov Peace Kovsky case, General Selov was transferred to Gruu as the director, but what was stronger than history was that Selov discovered the two people early so did not cause huge losses. General Selov's fate was not as bumpy as history, at least not for the time being.
"Long time no see, Yuri! You are now the first vice chairman of the National Security Council. Sherepin has come to the Secretariat to work. It seems that the National Security Council will fall into your hands sooner or later!" General Serov said with emotion when he saw Serov. This young man repeatedly cracked the Petpopov Peace Kovsky case. It can be said that half of the reason for leaving the National Security Council was because of this young man, and the other half was that he and Marshal Zhukov's personal coach caused Khrushchev's uneasiness. After he left the National Security Council, the Third General Administration was quickly established to become a sword to attack Zhukov, and the director of the General Administration of Military Administration was this young man.
Too young, so young! General Serov had to admit that the age of Serov in front of him was only seen in the Patriotic War or earlier. Because of the Patriotic War, the adult men in the Soviet Union were insufficient in the population, and many young cadres were activated, but it is still rare for Serov to climb so fast. Only Serov, who is also rising in Azerbaijan, can suppress him.
"Hello, old chairman!" It can be said that a large part of the reason for the departure of the former KGB chairman was because he captured Peter Popov. Now he thought it would be embarrassing to meet both sides, but he did not expect that General Serov did not have much resentment.
As for General Serov's mention of taking over KGB, Serov, there was no answer. First General Serov was wrong, second Khrushchev was in the villa in the forest. It would be better for the controllers of the KGB and Gruu to not talk about these sensitive issues.
Grou is a special intelligence agency of the Red Army, mainly concentrated in the military field. Like the KGB, Grou also has its own global intelligence network. There are many jokes about Grou within the KGB. If you give the world's intelligence agencies a ranking, the KGB will of course be the first, and Grou will be the second.
The KGB's biggest enemy is not the CIA, MI6, the FBI, but Gruu.
The KGB security cadres had a necessary skill to identify a Gruu person at a glance in any situation and environment. Any Gruu who was sent from the Soviet Union to a foreign country would be exposed at the first time, and the one who found them was the KGB.
Jokes like this fully illustrate the relationship between the KGB and the Gru U.S. Among them, a permanent lieutenant general, as the representative of the KGB to the Gru U, played the role of the Soviet intelligence work mainly in the KGB. Historically, Semichasne was dismantled by Brezhnev, which was that the representative of the KGB in Gru U.S. suddenly died in military exercises.
Soon the conversation between Khrushchev and the Cuban delegation ended, and a guard came out and saluted the two, saying, "General Serov, Lieutenant General Serov, the First Secretary, please come in!" The guards also felt that the names of the two were a little difficult to speak, and their tone was a bit strange when they spoke.
