Chapter 261 Alpha and Signal Flags
It was already March, and except for the evening, the temperature was not so unbearable. Khrushchev's forest-style villa was even warmer and soon dispelled the chills on both of them.
"The KGB and the Gru U are the entire power of the Soviet intelligence system. My two intelligence supervisors, let's talk about your views on Cuba!" Khrushchev touched his bald head, as if he needed to listen to other people's opinions on the issue of Cuba.
The two stood on the left and right sides of Khrushchev, representing the attitude of the two intelligence departments that the Soviet Union relied most. General Serov thought for a moment and said first, "From a military perspective, Cuba's location is simply a perfect complement to our Soviet strategy. Such a superior geographical location, even if you do nothing, is enough to make Americans unable to sleep or eat..."
"This premise must be that Cuba has established a socialist government. I believe that Americans' hostility to Cuba can help us achieve our goals soon!" Selov added, "This is a very accounting transaction. Every bit of our energy to support Cuba can cost the Americans two more points of blockade. The new president of the United States is Kennedy. This president who appears for the election can do everything for the victory of the election..."
There are many secret warnings in Selov's words. In order to maintain re-election of the US president, unexpected things may be done in order to maintain re-election. Of course, this includes war. If Kennedy is afraid of the Cuban missile crisis, he will definitely not have such a great reputation. He can't even think about re-election, because the strength of the United States is indeed far stronger than that of the Soviet Union. Kennedy's victory based on the US national strength guarantees his prestige, so there will be a possibility of re-election, and of course there will be a possibility of assassination at the same time.
Serov and the others gave Krusselov his own advice on behalf of the KGB and Gruu. This was also what Krusselov thought about. It was important to the value of Cuba. Of course, Krusselov had not yet thought of transporting nuclear missiles there at this time, but Serov knew that this idea would appear sooner or later, and it might be the next minute.
Khrushchev also considered Selov's words. That is, Cuba must establish a socialist government, and now Cuba is at best a progressive government. Thinking of this, Khrushchev said in his heart, "We must increase our kindness to Cuba!"
Under the current world situation, if a small country is hostile to the United States, then pro-Soviet is almost an inevitable choice. Khrushchev believes that as long as the United States does not change this hostility, Cuba will soon become an important ally of the Soviet Union.
Waving his hand to let Selov and the others go out, it is inappropriate to discuss with the two intelligence leaders when making decisions. Khrushchev is preparing to wait for the Cuban delegation to return and hold a meeting at the Central Bureau of State to discuss the Cuban issue specifically.
Back at the familiar No. 11, Rubiyangka Square, General Serov was filled with emotion when he passed by the Derrensky statue. Two years ago, he was the supreme leader here, but this time he became a guest when he came back. General Serov didn't know what he accepted the invitation from the mood. Maybe it was nostalgia and wanted to come back to see where he worked.
"The KGB currently has 25 departments, with a total of 200,000 officers nationwide, a total of 600,000 internal guards and border guards, and a total of 45,000 overseas forces affiliated with the KGB. This number includes some military forces and bases, such as Aswan, Egypt and some strongholds in Syria!" While making coffee for his old boss, Serov did not forget to mention a sentence when handing to General Serov, "Coffee is smuggled, and the British and Americans will not sell it to us..."
The Soviet Union can be described in one sentence. Cheap things are particularly cheap, but some things cannot be bought even if they are rich. For example, the wrench that Selov once saw on Brother Baglamyan, directly set the price on the wrench. In fact, the Soviet Union and the later North Korea were in almost the same situation, that is, they were blocked.
One ruble can buy fifty kilograms of tomatoes, ten kilograms of potatoes on the market, roller skating ten times in the park, watch four movies in the cinema, five egg rolls of ice cream and ten butter ice cream, six kilograms of bread, five liters of bulk fresh milk, and drink thirty-three cups of sugared lemon juice.
The difference from North Korea is that the Soviet Union has sufficient ability to resist and has sufficient natural resources and support from allies. Maintain the current confrontation. But if there is nothing to do with the Soviet Union and the Allies, there is no way to do it. For example, the coffee in General Serov's hands is more expensive to buy from companies controlled by the British and American origin than the KGB smuggling. In this case, it is naturally more cost-effective to smuggle. It will be more difficult for the people to make a cup of coffee without any trouble. This is the problem encountered by the Soviet Union. The ruble can buy a lot of things, but it cannot buy even a little coffee beans, because all the allies of the Soviet Union do not produce it. Of course, there seems to be a turning point now, and Cuba produces coffee.
"Well, I was also opposed to the abolition of the KGB organization back then. But I was transferred to Gruu, and Shereping and you resisted the pressure of the first secretary. Now there are more KGB organizations than when I was there, haha!" A sarcastic evaluation was made, and the self-deprecation of General Serov made the conversation a little off track.
The sour tone in this is obviously dissatisfied with the differential treatment. It is no wonder that he was transferred from the position of KGB chairman because he opposed the KGB layoffs. However, he found that the KGB is now larger than when he was there.
"First of all? We need to make achievements to let the first secretary know where the KGB is. Simply put, it is to reflect its own value! In the case of a great national situation, the scale of the KGB will be more unsatisfactory, so as security cadres, we need to find something to do. If there is no in China, then try it abroad!" Selov talked to the former old chairman.
It's very simple. Why is Selov so keen on exporting revolutions? In a sense, he is just looking for things for the KGB. Hundreds of thousands of people in the entire department were sitting and basking in the sun. If anyone was the first secretary, it was not satisfied, let alone Khrushchev. So to do things, we must carry out global strategic layout, export revolutions, and subvert the regimes of other countries. The achievements are very gratifying. Only Selov solved the corn problem, solved the feed problem for the restoration of the Soviet breeding and animal husbandry, and at the same time proved the KGB's value in this regard.
As long as the department is proved, Khrushchev will naturally not cut off capable personnel, not to mention that the KGB itself bears a large part of the funds. General Serov was mainly implicated in the affairs of his former secretary Peter Popov. As the head of the intelligence department, his secretary was instigated, which is the greatest incompetence.
Selov invited the former KGB chairman to visit Rubiyyangka, mainly because he had a relationship with Gruu Lala. Due to the nature of Gruu U, it was impossible for the KGB to annex this department like the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At most, it was to maintain the current leadership relationship between the KGB and Gruu U. However, Selov, both intelligence departments, always had a hidden concern. He was afraid that this intelligence department that was out of sight would become a tool to deal with the Xie Lieping group, which was quite possible.
"We must start with the KGB's guidance over the Gruu!" Shelov calculated for a long time and felt that the breakthrough was in Roman's hands. Currently, there are a group of old-school anti-counterfeiting cadres sent from the KGB to the other side. Shelov felt that he could think of ways to do this, such as Panushkin, the former director of the First General Administration.
Selov suggested that the KGB and Gru U join forces to form a computer department so that some intelligence can be shared. This suggestion is completely reasonable in terms of work, and even let Gru U lead the department. There is only one small problem, that is, the KGB's intelligence network is much larger than Gru U.S., and Gru U will eventually find that the dominance is still in the hands of the KGB.
"We may become a computer network that the whole world cannot do without when we study together!" Fighting for support from Gruu was to establish the Internet. Internet was originally used for military purposes at the beginning, and of course new technologies will be first applied to the military field. This is not irony, but a must for various new technologies.
"About some of the anti-infiltration work in the work of the National Security Council, Turkey's border pressure is very high. Uzbeks are cross-border ethnic groups. Some of them are in Afghanistan. The local gun smuggling and many crimes are very rampant. I wonder what our presidium's opinion is?" Yitvasov, who had just returned to Ruby Yangka, saw this report and recalled something else because he went to the Three Baltic Kingdoms and felt the unfriendly atmosphere.
"We have so many soldiers, select soldiers from the 300,000 inner guards and 300,000 border guards to set up troops specifically for dealing with such incidents, with a number of about 1,000 to 1,500 people. Two troops must be established, one called Alpha and the other called Signal Flag. After the army is formed, we will first lead to some areas to participate in actual combat." Selov said coldly, "At least we must make the hands of these soldiers stained with blood. These two troops will be specifically used to deal with the armed bandits in the future..."
In the first battle of the Alpha group in history, it captured the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Office of the Afghan Prime Minister with a lightning speed, and captured Amin, chairman of the Afghan Revolutionary Committee and Prime Minister of the Government alive. It is the most elite armed force of the KGB and Selov has great expectations for these two troops. (To be continued.)
