Chapter 452 South Vietnam Coup
National security cadres should give local cadres enough respect, at least not let these local cadres feel threatened. Therefore, Selov cannot interfere with local government projects and let the Japanese discuss this with the Soviet government. Because the Japanese prince wanted to take advantage of the wood friction that made paper, that's the end.
In fact, what is more urgent than automobiles is the related tire industry. In less than a year, so many tire losses have been reported. On the one hand, the Soviet Union's tire manufacturing technology is indeed worse. There are many reasons. But the biggest reason is that the Soviet Union has no allies to produce natural rubber and can only manufacture artificial rubber in large quantities. Because of the insufficient rubber, it also limits the production of Soviet automobiles to a certain extent. The more cars the Soviet Union made, the more prominent the problem if the tire supply is not increased.
Artificial ones are not as good as natural ones. Stalin and Khrushchev would ask about rubber every time they met Chinese leaders. They must also know the Soviet Union's shortcomings in this regard. A small rubber will involve many industries in the Soviet Union. Selov remembered that this problem had not been solved during the Cold War. Finally, it was found that Vietnam was suitable for growing bananas. The Soviet Union itself was not able to do so in a few years.
"The Indonesian Army quickly coups. If I kill you, I can solve the rubber problem in the Soviet Union." The reason why Indonesia has received attention is largely because rubber, food and other things are still second. If the Soviet Union obtains a stable source of rubber, it can untie a seal from the Soviet automobile industry. Steel and oil are not lacking, but rubber is lacking.
Resources are indeed the biggest bottleneck of production capacity. The Third Reich occupied the entire European industry and the Soviet Union to war. In terms of industrial power, it was absolutely above the Soviet Union. However, in Western Europe, there was basically only farming except coal. Even if there was industrial power, the final result would definitely be reversed by the Soviet Union. No one could change this fact. In later generations, China's industry beat the world in a scattered force, and in terms of steel industry, it had long exceeded the peak of the Soviet Union. Why was it not as if the Soviet Union and the United States were equally divided in military terms? Because China's iron ore was imported, and the country that controlled all sea and land transportation was the United States.
It is this gap that has caused China's economy to be similar to that of the Soviet Union, but its military strength is far inferior to that of the Soviet Union. Although the domestic resources of the Soviet Union are a little higher, they can support the development of the country in all aspects. China has insufficient resources. Oil needs to be imported, iron ore needs to be imported, and steel and oil are all stuck. China cannot fight against the United States like the Soviet Union.
"Servanov, where is the chairman?" First Vice Chairman Yitvasov originally came to discuss matters with Servaov, but found that the top leader of the KGB was not in Ruby Yangka. In the chairman's office, only Servasov, the confidential secretary, was classified documents.
"The chairman went to the general hospital to see a psychiatrist. Dr. Yagodai said that the chairman was in a bad mood because he handled too much negative news and should do more peaceful things. At this time, the chairman should be wandering outside, having a picnic or in which swimming pool." Shervanov looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and said, "Or maybe even drinking directly at a restaurant!"
"I'll call the Aragvi Restaurant to ask." Yitvasov shook his head and left the chairman's office.
Aragvi Restaurant is a special restaurant, just off the Tvereskaya Street, not far from Ruby Yangka Square. It was established for security cadres during the Beria period, and the signature dish was Georgian, because the General Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were both Georgians. Although time has changed, Georgian cuisine has been preserved as a tradition.
The Aragvi Restaurant is one of the few restaurants in Moscow with Transcaucasian characteristics. Yitvasov asked someone to find Selov. Everyone knew that the current KGB president actually grew up in Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, it was lost and Selov was not there.
Selov, the Aragvi restaurant, used to go and sit, but later he discovered this special restaurant for security cadres, and a group of cultural workers he was interested in often gathered, so he began to avoid visiting. At the same time, many private rooms in the Aragvi restaurant were equipped with eavesdropping machines to collect what these potential fifth columns had after the Khrushchev cultural circles were thawed during the Khrushchev period.
Unexpectedly, Aragvie meals became a frequent visitor place for social elites. Dining here is a symbol of identity and status. I really don’t know what these people think, are they looking for excitement in this special restaurant for security cadres? Or do they think that as the general environment eases, they no longer have to be afraid of the KGB?
In the auditorium of the 51st Primary School, Selov accompanies the primary school students of this school. In a sense, he is indeed cultivating his sentiment. On the stage, the primary school students with red scarves sang neatly, and among the people accompanied by the audience were Selov with a blue brimmed hat, skillfully playing the accordion.
Burn, campfire, blue night, we are all young vanguards. The glorious era has arrived today, our slogan: "Always be ready!" A brave and young, friendly group, we are ready to work and struggle. We must always stand on the outpost, our slogan: "Always be ready!"
He raised his chest and sang loudly, and our team flag was flying in front of us. The glorious era has arrived today. Our slogan: "Always be ready!" We have made great strides and waved happily, children all over the world, our friends. We must always stand at the outpost, and our slogan: "Always be ready!"
Raising the bright red flag high, we are all children of workers and peasants. The glorious era has arrived today, and our slogan: "Always be ready!"
The young child voice sang the song of the Soviet Leninist Young Pioneers. The Young Pioneers are the place where young children learn and are the reserve team for building socialism and socialism. Selov seemed to see himself when he was a very young child. In elementary school, he was in the stage where students listen to whatever the teacher said. At this stage, as long as the teacher is a socialist gardener in charge, there will usually be no problems. The child is not yet in the rebellious period, so he can be said to be very obedient.
Looking at the group of Soviet children wearing red scarves, Selov almost remembered his primary school days. The conditions at that time were not very good. Under the national flag, the students lined up to shout at the red flag above, "Be ready at all!" This is also the slogan of the Soviet Young Pioneers.
"Thank you, General! I didn't expect your accordion to be so good!" After the chorus, the school's instructor held Selov's hand with a complimentary smile. A scholar may not necessarily know the epaulettes on his shoulders represent what the stars represent, but he definitely knows the iconic blue hat of the anti-counterfeiting workers, which is an indelible memory.
"I can only say that I am skilled, it's not a good idea!" Selov smiled gently. He has not done anything for more than two months. He has routinely submitted safety reports to the Kremlin. At the same time, he is also supervising some people who are not very honest. Of course, it is limited to cadres below the level of the Central Committee. Moreover, he is looking at whether the foundation of the housing renovation has been laid.
A week ago, Selov also reported to Khrushchev the fruits of rice and corn cultivation in the coastal harbor, and a bumper harvest. He himself also received praise from Khrushchev. The Soviet Union's grain production did reduce this year, but because of the newly opened Far East collective farms and India, there was no problem with the import of Sudan, so it was finally within the country's tolerance.
In real history, this is the second time that the Soviet Union used the treasury to buy grain. The first time was to buy corn feed to ensure the continued development of the Soviet animal husbandry industry. The second time was to buy wheat to fill the shortage of Soviet grain production. Both difficulties were overcome without any danger. From this perspective, Selov had saved the Soviet Union at least 500 tons of gold.
This achievement is enough to be awarded by a Soviet hero, but no one knows that unless something happens, no one knows how serious the consequences will be. Everyone thinks that food production reduction is just a trivial matter, no one will calculate the cultivation of collective farms in Sudan, India and the Far East, and how the Soviet Union will survive if there is a drought.
"Head, the first vice chairman of Yitvasov just called and said that there is a message from the headquarters to ask you to go back and see it, which seems very important!" At this moment, Selov's guards hurriedly walked in and whispered beside him.
"I understand!" Shelov agreed lightly, then turned his head and waved his hand at the school leaders and children in front of him, "Goodbye to the director of teaching, goodbye to the children."
"Goodbye, Uncle General!" The simple child kept wavering at Selov. When they were young, they didn't think there was any difference between a general and an ordinary person. They just thought that this uncle's clothes looked very good.
In the conference room on the top floor of the KGB at the 11th KGB in Ruby Yangka Square, Selov reviewed the collected information and looked at the directors of the General Administration around him with envious tone, "Our American colleagues are really careless. They are much darker than us. They kill a president directly. Unlike us, they are always careful to understand the movements!"
A coup occurred in South Vietnam. Yang Wenming and others suddenly announced their seizure of power at a regular meeting and shot and killed the only opponent. Wu Tingyan fled the presidential palace through a secret passage. The Wu brothers learned that the coup soldiers promised to let them go abroad safely and agreed to surrender. On the way to the military headquarters, the two brothers were shot and killed.
