Chapter 332 Riga
It is undeniable that the nuclear weapons of the United States in this era were overwhelmingly superior to the Soviet Union. This was not the 1970s when Brezhnev vigorously developed his military. It was also because of the Cuban missile crisis that the Soviet Union began to go crazy and wanted to overwhelm the United States in military terms. In 1962, the Soviet Union could only play some heartbeat movements. In other words, the Soviet Union was actually similar to the North Korea, which seemed a bit crazy in later generations, and they played nuclear blackmail. The reason why they did not receive the same treatment as North Korea was due to some of China's contributions, and the Soviets were the most fiercer.
The resolution to send missiles to Cuba has been issued. Serov proposed to conduct a detailed risk assessment in the name of the KGB presidium, which is much more detailed than his analysis in the Central Presidium that day. The main disadvantages are two points, the huge gap in the number of nuclear weapons and the expected naval gap between China, the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the limitations of away games, and finally Chairman Sermichasne delivered to the Kremlin to First Secretary Khrushchev.
Riga is the capital of the Republic of Latvia, and the Gulf of Riga is a large port of the Baltic Sea. The three Baltic countries, as the republic that was finally incorporated into the Soviet Union, had always had a certain sense of resistance, but the Soviet Union was definitely not invading, because it was part of the Russian Empire during the Empire of Russia. Not every country could take back the lost territory, but the Soviet Union during the Stalin period had already done it. A socialist camp after the war; standing above the world.
"It must be clear that the discipline of this operation is. With the cooperation of our Ministry of Defense, the task of our anti-counterfeiting workers is to improve discipline until the task is over." Serov, standing in the dark, only the cigarette butt on his fingers from a distance can make people know that there is someone here observing, but this does not delay him from continuing to issue orders here.
It was twelve o'clock in the evening, and the entire port was silent. Everything was dormant. But in fact, this was a superficial phenomenon. The port was very busy now. It was just that the lights were not turned on. The worker's safety helmets equipped with flashlights for the busy labor. The things they loaded were nuclear missiles in active service in the Soviet Union. All nuclear missiles, regardless of any model, had been dismantled in batches. As for the soldiers and assemblers who maintained these nuclear missiles, they had already gone to Cuba in advance. The people and missiles would be separated and reassembled when they arrived in Cuba.
In such a place, it is actually quite strange to order. Shelov specially put a telescope on the top floor of the KGB headquarters in Latvia to supervise the workers at the dock in the dark. Even the KGB anti-counterfeiting workers behind him were a little strange. A man ran to the top floor in the dark. If they were discovered by them in any other occasion, it would definitely be the result of being shot dead on the spot.
"First Vice Chairman, the reconnaissance plane has landed!" At this moment, a soldier climbed up from the vent reported.
"Okay, let's go back soon!" Shelov agreed and put down the telescope and climbed down the stairs.
The KGB headquarters in Latvia is in Latvia. The KGB has a surveillance network, which is specifically responsible for reporting anti-Soviet Latvians. Many political dissidents, artists and writers were arrested by the KGB. Many of them were locked in this headquarters. The first floor and the basement are the internal prisons of the KGB headquarters in Latvia. Each KGB headquarters has a secret prison. Of course, the headquarters detention centers in general cities have a stronger meaning. But in places like the three Baltic countries where anti-Soviet activities are more rampant, the internal prisons have a stronger sense of mission. The entire building of the KGB internal prison in Latvia has fifty cells and one hundred and eighty beds. As for the number of people being detained now, there are about 400 people. The excess people can sleep underground, and they can't even bear this kind of suffering. How dare you say that you are fighting for freedom?
The passing Selov stepped on the hard cement floor and made a sound of tapping. As for how many people were in the cells on both sides of the left and right, this was not within his concern. However, the image of the corridor was really not good. Selov ordered as he walked, "You have nothing to do to clean up the walls that were filled with moisture. Every summer, I have to paint them again. How come it looks like a warehouse in the suburbs? This delays the image of our anti-counterfeiting workers..." Everyone next to him nodded and decided to sell paint tomorrow to paint the headquarters.
"If the internal prison population is full, I will send people to Kazan prison. Now there are very abundant cells there, and it can also solve the burden on you Latvia." Sherov arrived at the conference room without longing, and took off the big brim hat on his head, saying without delay, "Every time, enlarge the aerial photos, double each time, and convene relevant experts to conduct research. We need to obtain the exact data of night investigation, which is very important!"
It is actually quite strange. When the Soviet Union was about to disintegrate, the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs was filled with Latvians who were willing to defend the Soviet Union. At that time, about one-quarter of the cadres of the entire Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs were Latvians, and the leader was the Minister of Internal Affairs Pugo. In the end, Pugo committed suicide due to the failure of the coup. These people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs oppose the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It can be seen that this thing has nothing to do with national feelings, and the chances of the butt determining the head are higher.
It is actually quite risky to let the Soviet Union's own reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance aircraft in this regard, so Selov asked the military's reconnaissance aircraft to approach the reconnaissance to assess whether the US reconnaissance aircraft had the ability to discover the clues of the Soviet nuclear missile in the dark. If these washed photos cannot prove anything, I believe that the US reconnaissance aircraft should not respond.
"Enlarge, zoom in, continue to zoom in!" Selov is not an expert. After watching for a long time, he didn't see the clues. He had to ask the professionals next to him, "How is it, there is no problem?"
The professionals were a little doubtful that their chief should have glasses? It was a pity that he could not see things clearly with such big eyes. Although he thought so, he still said, "First Vice Chairman, the investigation results were quite poor. If we hadn't known in advance that this was aerial photography at the port, we wouldn't know where the shooting was, let alone seeing the cargo!"
"That's good!" I believe that even if the American reconnaissance aircraft are better than the Soviet Union's equipment, it should be very limited. As the first vice president of the KGB, he has this confidence. No country is better than the Soviet Union in terms of spy equipment. As the Soviet Union's conscience department, how can the KGB Bill be compared with the big ancestors of the Ministry of Defense? Compared with the thinking that the marshals of the Ministry of Defense will not turn, the KGB code must remember one thing: usually we do not solve the problem head-on, not because the KGB cannot fight, but because we put the choice of action at the end. In fact, most countries can be destroyed with the KGB military power.
Taking action is the last option of the KGB, just like Germany establishing concentration camps to kill people, while the Soviet Union established Gulag to provide these criminals with the opportunity to correct themselves. Usually Gulag is unwilling to kill people, and who will go to work unconditionally if he kills all the prisoners? Can no job create profits?
"Very good, thank you comrades, you can go and rest." Selov, who had completed this work, breathed a sigh of relief and asked his subordinates to rest. As for him, he was going to rest here for one night and return to Moscow tomorrow.
When leaving Riga, Selov also ordered the KGB of the three Baltic countries to let the National Security Bureau and the State Administration of Internal Affairs of these local governments send local anti-Soviet elements to Kazan prisons. These people are also among the people who were abandoned by Selov. Since we are unwilling to be Soviets, we cannot force them, right? Although the Soviet Union does not have the freedom they want, the United States has it, and the motherland can only help you get here. When you arrive in the United States, you can pursue great ideals in the air of freedom.
"In view of the current situation in Kazan prisons, from June 12, the National Security Committee, the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs, the Local Security Bureau, the State Administration of the Internal Affairs and various departments under the Allied Republics can transport your local criminals to Kazan, which can solve the problem of aging of local facilities and insufficient public resources. The proposal of General Yuri Yefimovich Selov, the First Vice Chairman of the Soviet National Security Council, was approved at the KGB presidium meeting on the same day and took effect today..."
In the office of President Semichasne, No. 11, Rubiyangka Square, Serov, who had just returned, followed Serov to his office after the presidium meeting. The two sat down face to face. According to the resolution of the Central Bureau of Presidium, Serov, as the top leader, was naturally the commander-in-chief of the KGB. He also sent Serov to Riga this time.
"Have you got the necessary data?" The Semichasne water dispenser poured two glasses of water and handed Selov a cup directly.
"The experiment on reconnaissance aircraft in the dark has been completed. As long as the Ministry of Defense strictly abides by discipline and does not operate during the day, there should be no problems. Should we send personnel to follow us? Our soldiers participating in the Ministry of Defense will definitely not dare to violate the discipline!" Selov drank the water in the cup and asked Selov with his legs raised.
Chapter completed!
