Chapter 324 Heroes of the Soviet Union

"Thank you, three secretaries!" There was no turmoil on Selov's face. After expressing his gratitude, he waved his hand. The secret police corps soldier who was still guarding the gold shouted, "For the sake of the Soviets, sniff out and eradicate the traitor..."

"They are a little used to shouting!" Sherov looked at the central secretary with a little embarrassed look. This is the slogan of the anti-counterfeiting workers, which is usually used during the KGB meeting. It is more inappropriate to shout in front of several central secretaries.

"It's nothing, Comrade Derzhinsky's work attitude is very appreciative!" Khrushchev showed extraordinary generosity in front of fifty-five tons of gold, not to mention that this sentence was printed on the vests inside the KGB, and it was not the first time Khrushchev has seen it.

Compared with fifty-five tons of gold, one million rubles is just a small amount of money. After the monetary reform, the exchange rate between the Soviet rubles and the US dollar was one to one, and under the intervention of the dignity of the Soviet state, the exchange rate will not change. What is the concept of one ruble? In the summer, you can buy fifty kilograms of tomatoes from the market. If you are willing to drink gawas, you can buy eight liters first. In the current situation where the Breston Forest system still exists, five thousand rubles can theoretically buy more than one hundred ounces of gold, and one ounce is less than thirty grams, and one gram of gold can be bought with a little more than ten rubles. Of course, gold is calculated in US dollars, so it is impossible to buy these KGB soldiers to buy gold, but this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money from the Soviet Union.

After the Soviet Union's monetary reform, Selov's salary changed from the original 4,500 old rubles to the current 400 rubles. This money is equivalent to what he earned as the first vice chairman of the KGB in a year. In fact, in terms of salary, Selov is even higher than Khrushchev, but it cannot be calculated like this. If a single Soviet man could use money, no one in the Soviet Union could compare with the consumption of overseas agents of the First General Administration of the KGB. All of those overseas agents had 100,000 US dollars in their hands, while the spy kings at the level of Colonel Abel were as high as millions of dollars.

Khrushchev cut off the KGB political status. However, he did not weaken the KGB treatment. Although the KGB chairman was not even a member of the Central Committee and could not compare with the three Soviet giants in the Beria era, the KGB staff were still the group with the highest average salary in the Soviet Union. This was determined by the characteristics of the KGB work.

Leading Khrushchev, Kozlov and Suslov to see these big bags, long gold chains, gold nuggets of various shapes, and many sculptures carved in gold, all prove the amazing value of this wealth.

"We have heard of the treasure rumors of that temple. After about a year of verification throughout India, we have determined a relatively large possibility. This time I went to India, and one of the small goals was to detect whether the treasure existed." While leading several leaders, Selov also took out several equipment as evidence, which of course also included the metal detector disguised as leather shoes.

"Very good. Like a professional security expert, he can not only protect our country, but also keenly detect loopholes in other national security systems." Kozlov nodded with a cold face. The gold in front of him can prove how outstanding Selov's work is, which is more convincing than any comrade who can write beautiful written reports. If someone is dissatisfied, he can turn dozens of tons of gold into Selov.

"Thank you for the compliment of the second secretary!" Selov nodded politely. Kozlov's personality was very fierce. As a partner of the same hot Khrushchev, the two of them had disputes, and later withdrew from the political stage due to a stroke. The second secretary's luck was really bad. The stroke was impossible to defend against. Selov just hoped that the time bomb in his body would break out later, otherwise Sereping and Brezhnev would soon break up.

From different perspectives, gold has different values. As several leaders of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev and others saw gold as just a metal. If gold has any value, it is mainly reflected in credit. Ordinary people know that there is a lot of gold in the country, so they naturally think that the country will not have problems, which is more effective than any publicity.

"It's a pity to melt. If the artistic value is added, the value of these gold will be even higher!" Suslov touched a statue of Shiva. Although the statue was not big, it weighed fifty or sixty pounds.

"Yuri, escort these gold directly to the central bank. Comrade Kozlov and other comrades from the Central Presidium will issue you a resolution. Let the central bank keep it properly and don't melt the gold!" Khrushchev looked around and ordered, and then drove away with Kozlov and Suslov.

The Soviet banking system was like this. The Soviet Union, which implemented a planned economy and some Eastern European countries established similar banking systems. Its characteristics were that the number of banks was small and the credit was highly concentrated. The banking systems of these countries were generally composed of a national bank that performed both the functions of a central bank and also carried out specific credit business, plus a few professional banks.

At present, the basic situation of the banking system of the Soviet Union, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland is that there is a national bank with a wide range of business as the central bank. It is the only issuing bank in the country and the national credit and settlement center. The remaining few professional banks are also easy to understand. If you add these banks to prefix, such as construction, agriculture, and transportation, Selov can easily understand what these banks are for.

After handing over this batch of gold to the Central Bank of the Soviet Union, Selov, the first vice chairman of the KGB, had to perform his duties. He did not trade cash on credit and paid money to the secret police corps soldiers who participated in the operation. However, he would not just send the money. He also handed over the confidentiality agreement to these soldiers. There were as many as twenty terms on it. I really don’t know how the two little girls Iseymotney and Lukani came up with.

After two months, Selov, who returned to the Soviet Union, met with Comrade Brezhnev, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Union. Recently, the two met frequently, and the number of times they met made Brezhnev not know what to say. He was the only medal for awarding the award of the Soviet hero this time, commending Selov's outstanding contribution to national security. He stood in front of Brezhnev for the third time in half a year. He won the Lenin Medal for the first two times, and this time he finally became a Soviet hero.

When it comes to the level of members of the Central Presidium, no one is a decoration, not to mention that Brezhnev is the chairman of the Supreme Soviet Union, and the power is equivalent to that of Khrushchev's First Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Ministers. In the entire Soviet Union, Brezhnev could easily crush other cadres.

But now Brezhnev felt that he should have more time to think. He knew that Selov went abroad for inspection. He took two hundred people to go abroad in a huge way, and the expenses even caused criticism from some departments. However, as soon as the anti-counteratist returned to Moscow, he brought a big gift. The members of the Central Presidium knew about the gold. The alternate members did not know about it yet, but with the relationship between Selov and Xie Lieping, I believe that Xie Lieping now knows what happened this time.

In fact, the award of the Soviet hero this time is a reward for Indian treasures, but it cannot be said so on the surface. How can this kind of stealing be related to our great Soviet? Of course, it is to commend Comrade Sellov, who has made great contributions to the Soviet Union's national security work for a long time, cracked large-scale spy cases one after another, saved Marshal Negelin, and cracked down on the conspiracy of the Great Turkist in Central Asia, etc. As for Sellov, who has been in charge of national security for a long time, this is not an important matter. Although he is young, he has a long service life.

After carefully checking the achievements of Selov after presiding over the KGB work, the members of the Central Presidium felt that the three cases of Peter**, Pinkovsky and Benickovsky were enough to award Selov the title of Soviet hero, not too early, but too late.

"I hope Comrade Selov will continue to contribute to the Soviet Union and live up to the expectations of the party and the country for you." Brezhnev congratulated him in a pun. Of course, he also knew that Selov was awarded a medal for gold, but like other members of the Central Presidium, he reviewed Selov's files and believed that there was no problem with this award, and this young man should receive such rewards.

"Thank you, Chairman Brezhnev. This is the opportunity to show my ability under the leadership of all members of the Central Presidium!" In his heart, Selov felt that his honor was justified, but in front of Brezhnev, he had to admit against his conscience that he was still young and not enough. Who made the other party the President of the Supreme Soviet...

It was just by the way to come here to receive the award. There was a stack of information in his arms about the observation of India this time. Shelov dared to use his conscience to ensure that he would never black India. He just recorded the real India of this era and handed it to Khrushchev for reference. As for the great Kremlin who stood on the moral high ground and ridiculed India, it would not matter to him at all. He just provided the most authentic information.
