Big Time 1958

  Agricultural issues Serov will not, but some people will! The most proud thing about Serov's KGB status is the ease of mobilizing resources, including being sheltered in institutions under the General Directorate of Military Administration and still studying molecular biology, Academician Sukachev, and Lysenko's exclusion from the Soviet Agricultural College. A large group of Soviet biologists.

   He would never do anything like a layman and an expert. He went directly to the research institute to find Academician Sukachev, directly stated his intention, and waited for Academician Sukachev to change his laboratory clothes.

   "I haven't seen him for a few months, Academician Sukachev! Are you still satisfied with the environment here?" Serov has a very dusty atmosphere, and he respects this kind of scientist Serov, especially those related to agriculture.

"General Serov has tried his best to provide us with the best research site, and my colleagues and I are very satisfied!" Although Academician Sukachev didn't know what Serov meant, he was very concerned about Serov's protection of them, who were expelled from agriculture by Li Shchenko. The scientists of the Academy, and the act of giving the research site are still very grateful.

   "That's good!" Serov said, rubbing his hands, "Actually, I'm going to ask Academician Sukachev for a favor!"

This sentence made Academician Sukachev very curious. He was just a scientist who was excluded. As for the academic title of the academician, it was impossible to be better than the title of the director of the General Bureau, not to mention that he heard that Serov had become a KGB. the vice-chairman. Even if he was an Academician Sukachev of the Lenin Agricultural Academy, he might be compared to a KGB vice-chairman.

   "What, I'm just an old man, can I help you?" Academician Sukachev asked curiously.

"That's right, Academician Sukachev, I want you to lead a team to Sudan to promote corn cultivation! On the one hand, the environment there is more free, on the other hand! Sudan has many tropical plants. It can be used to enrich your writings!" Serov knew that Academician Sukachev was working on a textbook on plants.

   "Did Li Shenko put pressure on the KGB?" Academician Sukachev was very surprised by Serov's attitude, and immediately thought about whether Li Shenko put pressure on the KGB. Prepare to exterminate these losers.

"Academician Sukachev, you are too much. Although Li Xianke has a higher position than me, there are not many departments in the Soviet Union that can tell us the work of the KGB!" Shelov said the truth with a proud look. When Academician Chev was sent to Sudan, Serov really thought about the academic scientists of Academician Sukachev's faction. He was prepared to help these scientists without any selfish intentions, and at the same time, he was also helping the Soviet Union. Of course, Sudan would also benefit from it. Almost everyone can benefit.

With a sigh, Serov said slowly, "The First Secretary is preparing to expand corn planting throughout the Soviet Union. It can be seen that the First Secretary has great expectations for corn, a high-yielding crop! The areas to expand planting include Central Asia and Siberia?"

"What? Corn is grown in Siberia?" Academician Sukachev almost jumped up when he heard this, and cursed, "What about Li Xianke? Even if this guy is ignorant, he must know that corn will definitely not adapt to Siberia. Climate, why didn't he oppose the idea of ​​the first secretary in the name of the Lenin Agricultural Academy..."

   "Because the matter of expanding the planting area has not been discussed at the meeting of the Central Presidium!" Serov took out a piece of paper and wiped the spit stars off his face. An old scientist lost his temper for a while. Serov could only stand at attention, "Furthermore, even if Comrade Li Xianke is against it, it is impossible to change the first secretary's mind. Comrade Li Xianke cannot be blamed on this matter!"

  To be honest, let alone Li Xianko, when Khrushchev implemented the corn policy, Serov did not believe that no one in the entire Central Presidium saw that there was a problem. Didn't they all dare to jump out at this time? Khrushchev was also the first secretary and chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers. First in all fields of the Soviet Union. Who dares to jump out and feel uncomfortable?

   This is not a problem that Li Shchenko can solve, even if he is the dean of the Lenin Agricultural College. But he also understood where his deanship came from. At the same time, Serov also prevented Academician Sukachev from jumping up at this time. Given the current situation of Academician Sukachev's faction, if he dared to be concerned about the corn issue If they jumped out, they might be hit even harder than Li Xianke gave them. The source of power behind them was the first secretary, far beyond what Li Xianke could compare to.

"So you want me to go to Sudan and expand corn production in Sudan. Are you afraid that if the corn strategy fails, there will be problems with the Soviet Union's food?" Academician Sukachev understood Serov's thoughts almost immediately, and turned to roar. , "It's better to directly prevent the implementation of the corn strategy. You are wasting the country's energy in vain! You have already thought of the consequences, why don't you speak up!"

"Comrade Academician Sukachev, I'm just the ninth vice-chairman of the KGB!" Serov laughed at himself, "Our KGB's duty is to defend the country, analyze and warn a lot of data. But things haven't started yet, no one knows. What the result is, my job is to defend against the worst possible, not to get stuck at the source at the beginning. That's beyond my ability, and beyond the KGB's ability! Have to admit, In some respects, our KGB is not omnipotent!"

   Does the KGB have any responsibilities in this regard? Yes! Intelligence work is all-encompassing, and of course there is an annual analysis of global agriculture, which is also an important reason why Serov was able to protect Academician Sukachev and others, but that's all. To expect the KGB to have a greater role, it would be difficult for a strong man.

"If Academician Sukachev can make achievements in Sudan, he can stand out in the corn strategy that Comrade First Secretary personally cares about, and it will be easier to change the unfavorable position of your school!" Serov said slowly, "Sudan is Africa is the country with the best natural conditions, and the climate is also suitable for the growth of corn! So I think this time, Academician Sukachev, is also an opportunity. If possible, I really hope that you can plant corn in the entire Sudan. !"

   As for whether there will be small problems such as soil erosion and grassland degradation in Sudan, it is not within the scope of Serov's consideration. The first place is Sudan, not the Soviet Union! Serov has no time to care, let alone such a small problem. Even if a humanitarian disaster occurs, he doesn't care. If there is a real problem with the Soviet Union's food, Serov will definitely find a way to empty the granary in Sudan.

   There is something Serov actually wanted to say, but Academician Sukachev is just a scientist, and he has always treated the scientist Serov with respect. This is mainly because Serov has always been influenced by the slogan that science is the primary productive force, so no matter how powerful he is at any time, he does not dare to show any disrespect to scientists. Not only did he treat Academician Sukachev like this, but even Lysenko, who had been proven to have made a mistake, was unwilling to do so. Science has been developing all the time. Who knew that after hundreds of years, Lysenko might make a comeback.

   So for Academician Sukachev Serov, keep your mouth shut. This kind of scientist who has always insisted on the truth is worthy of respect. Whether it is in any country, the progress of mankind needs these scientists to promote. With a little disrespect, Serov can completely wipe the spit on his face and pretend that nothing has happened.

"You want me to turn a blind eye to the agricultural problems of my motherland, and then take a tactful way to promote corn planting from Sudan, and solve the country's corn strategy that may fail from the side?" Academician Sukachev sneered, as if for the first time As I know Shelov, I completely despise Shelov's self-protection method in words.

  Scientists are easy to be too idealistic, and Serov will not take Academician Sukachev's wishful thinking at all. With so many people in the Central Presidium and so many members of the Central Committee, is it his turn to have a guy who is not even an alternate member of the Central Committee to confront the First Secretary? Who will remember his sacrifice for Soviet food? No one, even after Khrushchev stepped down, can anyone remember Serov's sacrifice? Still no one! Since no one will remember Serov, why did he take the initiative to go out to land mines? He is not the mujahideen of those imams in Iran who flickered to the front line to land mines.

   "Sukachev, you still think about how to prove your academic achievements!" Serov said, "Science cannot be blasphemed, I hope you can prove that you are on the side of the truth!"

  Since Academician Sukachev wants to scold, just scold him, anyway, this old man really did not scold him wrong. Like the basic arguments just negotiated with the French, it boils down to who is begging whom. Undoubtedly, now it is Serov begging Sukachev.

Serov returned to the General Administration of Military Administration and immediately prepared the documents. After communicating with the Sukachev Academy, he arranged for 128 agronomists, including Academician Sukachev, to go to Sudan as Soviet aid to Sudan. a part of. After setting the tone of the matter, Serov managed to contact Major General Leonid, the commander of the Aswan military base that followed Igor, and Major General Leonid explained the importance of the matter and asked him to It is necessary to ensure the safety of Academician Sukachev and a group of agronomists, and to meet the requirements of these scientists and scholars as much as possible, so that Serov's plan to shape Sudan into an agricultural power can be smoothly carried out.

Soon the successor arranged by Igor gave Serov a satisfactory answer, saying in the telegram, "For the motherland's plan to attack Sudan, I and all the officers and soldiers of the entire Aswan base are very supportive, and ensure that 120,000 energy guarantees. The safety of Academician Sukachev and valuable scientists.(To be continued~^~)
