Chapter 524: Three Questions
The Soviet Union's rivers were all like the Arctic Ocean. Siberia had the most abundant water resources. Except for some cities close to the border, almost all of them were not suitable for human habitation. It can be said that the Soviet Union's projects in this century had more urgent needs than China's South-to-North Water Diversion decades later, and would not affect the population of other regions, because there were only a few people in Siberia.
As long as the first step is completed, water diversion can be used for irrigation, which can increase the irrigation area of the Black Sea and Sub-Sea basins by 4 million hectares, thereby increasing the agricultural output value by 5 billion rubles and increasing the annual net income of 3 billion rubles; increasing the water supply guarantee rate of industrial areas such as Moscow, Tula-Nomoscosk, Samara, and Nizhny Novgorod; improving the power supply situation of some unified power grids in Europe. Improving the water quality of the Volga River, opening up new deep-water channels, and maintaining the navigable water depth in the lower reaches of the Volga River, so that shipping is not affected; slowing down the water level of the Caspian Sea and the increase in the salinity of the sub-Sea sea water, and increasing the fish catch in these two waters.
"Please come over from the Central Academy of Sciences. Let's talk about this project." She held the phone and made the following instructions, while Sherov sat in his office waiting for a reply.
The KGB president did not need to wait too long. An hour later, Selov welcomed several water conservancy experts from the Central Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union in Ruby Yangka.
"When the water transfer from the Ob River reaches 60 billion cubic meters per year, it will not have an important impact on the hydrology, water chemical conditions, ice conditions, and biological environment at the mouth of the Ob River, and there will be no large-scale climate change ratio in the water diversion areas and the water transit areas." Vorobayev, an academician of the Central Academy of Sciences, described this issue in detail.
Selov nodded in understanding. Although he didn't understand what the percentage of the percentage in Vorobayev meant at all, he still made an expression that I understood very well. He still had a certain understanding of the climate of this country that had lived for more than ten years, and after reading it for so many years, he understood it. Simply put, the Soviet grain-producing areas were generally short of water, and the place where there was no water shortage was Siberia. If he didn't understand this, then he was a pig.
In fact, a perfect country in Selov's mind should be China plus Siberia, or the merger of the United States and Canada. In this way, all basic conditions are complete. A country with a latitude like the Soviet Union will face various difficulties if it wants to show. This climate is really a big problem first. From the standpoint of the Soviet Union, it is not difficult to understand why it is always looking for various opportunities to attack the south.
The Soviet Union's neighbors ranged from Turkey, Iran, to Afghanistan, and China. It can be said that there are no Russians who have tried all the routes that can go south before, but so far, none of them has been successful. There was the British Empire in the past and the American Empire in the later period, which has been preventing the Soviet Union from extending its strength to southern Asia. This strategy is long-term. No matter which path the Soviet Union chooses, the Americans will stop it. This is not how righteous the Americans are. Instead, the Americans know that once the Soviet Union has an outlet in the temperate zone or cut off the Eurasian Great Six, it will be innately invincible.
The climate problem has reached a point where it cannot be overcome. The Russians who knew they were trapped in the cold zone continued to march towards the Dardanelles again and again, and fought with Turkey more than a dozen times for hundreds of years. This major plan for north-sea water transfer can be understood as an attempt by Soviet scientists to internal transformation. But at the same time, as long as there is a chance, Selov must find the opportunity to go south and gain Southeast Asia to make the Soviet camp's strength further. After the end of the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union's strength and the United States should be further closer than in history.
But during the Vietnam War, Selov would never do nothing. When Americans make mistakes, it does not mean that they will make mistakes one after another. As for this project, it is still very necessary, and preparation is always right.
"I know the imagined results. What are the difficulties? Tell me about this problem and see if I can help me?" The difficulty of this kind of project is very huge without thinking about it. Because later China also had a different project in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. By the end of his memory, it had not been completed.
"The entire project may take 30 to 40 years, and I don't know how much money is invested. There are many comrades in our Academy of Sciences who have objected. The specific opinions are like this. Large-scale North-South Water Diversion will reduce forest areas, destroy ecological balance, damage fishery resources, flood the agricultural areas in the north, and destroy Murmansk, the largest harbor city in the Arctic Circle. Some meteorologists also emphasized that the more serious problem is that when dozens of huge reservoirs freeze, the climate will become colder, the winter will be extended and the spring will be late, which will shorten the spring in the northern region by about two weeks!" Vorobayev also had a headache when talking about this issue. He was an expert who did not think it would affect the climate.
"What side effects will there be? The project is not completed. What you imagine is assumptions. Even if all the side effects you mentioned appear, they can still be overcome compared to the benefits." Shelov frowned and thought for a while, "Don't worry, the conditions you need, such as funds and manpower, I will rob the whole world and supplement them for you. This is my commitment to the Academy of Sciences, which is permanently effective..."
Now Selov actually regrets something. If he had known about this, he might not have killed so many people in Indonesia. Academician Vorobayev believed in many conditions, but he did not believe in the project date for 30 or 40 years. This construction period must be based on normal working hours. What is the abnormal working date? In the 1930s and 1940s, Beria used prisoners detained by Gulag to rush to work on some giant projects that delayed the construction period, and all of these projects completed the task ahead of schedule.
So Selov needed a group of people, and they were not worried about losing money when used. This was the reason why he began to regret killing people in Indonesia, and the hundreds of thousands of prisoners who served Cuba in Cuba could not be used like this. Because no matter what, those people were also Soviets. Selov could use those prisoners to disrupt American public order, but he could not drive them to die.
"Why didn't the Soviet Union go to war with any country? It would be good to catch some prisoners of war." After Vorobayev left, Selov thought for a long time where to get manpower, and finally found that prisoners of war had this function.
I wonder where war will occur? Selov, who opened the world map, glanced at the hot spots in this circle and identified two countries, one was Pakistan and the other was Turkey. The former could allow India to take action, while the latter needed to do it themselves. The captured prisoners of war could be used as manpower for this project. Of course, these prisoners of war should never expect them to go back. As an anti-counterfeiter worker, Selov would have planned to deplete them until the end of the project.
Because Indonesia's affairs last year occupied a lot of his working hours, he did not pay much attention to the Second India-Pakistan War. He lost a chance to intervene in vain, but it was not a pity. There was a third time when there was a second time, and I would always wait for the opportunity to wait slowly.
"Call the directors of major general bureaus and discuss the work of the next stage and the direction of the strategic offensive. In other words, where to go to be a messenger." Selov said with his eyes off the world map.
Attendance to the meeting included the new KGB First Vice Chairman General Bobkov. This was the first time that General Bobkov attended this meeting. The nature of the meeting he attended before was different because he was the Director of the Personal Affairs Bureau. He was generally not invited to work with special units at the same level as the General Administration.
Selov, who is in the rank of general, has no aura of power without anger, nor does he have an aura. He only has a cold expression as always and a direct discussion way of speaking.
It is this way of speaking, directing and operating the unprecedented comprehensive intelligence departments in this world. They also point fingers at various departments of the Soviet Union, but never interferes with specific work. "The New Year is coming soon, this is the last meeting before the New Year. Let's talk about several directions. Let's talk about a few places, the first is the direction of Israel in the Middle East, the second is Czechoslovakia, and the third is France." The old god Selov said his thoughts first, and then asked if there were any problems.
The answer was no, Selov turned to ask Admiral Sakhatovsky and said, "From now on, we need to pay more attention to the Czechoslovak economy and prices. From now on, we need to think more."
In his opinion, Czechoslovakia is of course the most serious problem, because it is a matter within the Soviet camp. He hopes to resolve the problem of Czechoslovakia. Don’t think that he would kill him in Poland and Hungary, and he would do it again in Czechoslovakia. The Soviet Union had China to help stabilize the morale of the army, but now? Who is willing to kill someone if he has a choice? Selov is not idle either.
If the problem in Czechoslovakia is serious, we must start trying to resolve it now. If it cannot be resolved internally, it will be resolved externally. If the Soviet Union cannot solve it, it will be solved by China. If it doesn’t work, it will be solved by Indonesia. If it doesn’t work, Selov will be a salesman again and go to a few friendly countries to help Czechoslovakia.
