Big Time 1958

   A cold snort was enough for the two chiefs in charge of intelligence and police to understand what kind of situation they were facing. Given the current situation of Ryazan Prefecture, if it fails to deliver the same meat to the state by the end of the year as it was last year. It is conceivable what will happen to the so-called labor heroes of all sizes in the whole state.

"Remember the two of you, as national security cadres, you must not have any fear!" Serov let the two police chiefs know the current situation with a cold face, and shouted loudly; "What are you afraid of? Ryazan affairs I will take care of everything that breaks out, you just let me check. National security cadres, you should not be afraid of the problem, because we will solve the problem. Listen to our opinions. What we are talking about is the will of the country, and our law enforcement efforts represent the strength of national policies. Who is a model worker and who is a criminal, we have the final say. A state party secretary, I don't believe what he dares to do. Like? Do you understand?"

   "Understood, Vice-Chairman!" Serov's shout was like a twilight drum and a morning bell, which made the two police chiefs who did not dare to operate on the secretary of the state party committee agitated and hurriedly assured.

   Watching the two police chiefs go back to work, Serov had to say, "Waste..."

   I never thought that the local KGB agency and the General Directorate of Internal Affairs would be afraid of a state party secretary. How could such a thing happen in the Beria era? Not to mention a state party secretary, there are not a thousand state party secretaries who died in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is there not a hundred?

The next guest is the agent of the Fifth General Directorate of Alexey in Ryazan. Like the National Security Committee in Moscow, the local KGB is also a variety of agents affiliated to the major general offices working together. A local KGB agency gathers different Agents of the Directorate, working together while still being accountable to their Directorate. This will help keep the distance from each other and prevent the phenomenon of separatism from deceiving the superiors. Is this design perfect? Sheloff pioneered.

  The agents affiliated to each general bureau are delegated to the local KGB agency, and at the same time deal with matters in one place. The biggest advantage is to prevent the KGB from being reached by other departments, forming a powerful top-down vertical leadership system. This is Serov's most proud stroke after Sherepin came to the KGB as chairman, mainly to prevent the KGB from protecting itself in the future if Serepin is really not Brezhnev's opponent. In addition to striving for financial autonomy, this is of the utmost importance.

This allows the KGB to maintain a strong detection capability in all areas, because no one knows whether the partners around him are people sent by other general bureaus to monitor him, except where the chairman of the KGB and the director of the General Administration of Internal Affairs are the heads. In this way the KGB is a top-down highway. Extremely smooth all the time.

The agents who met with Serov of the Fifth General Administration explained everything about Ryazan Prefecture, and let Serov know how serious the situation in Ryazan was. First, the big knife cut off the heads of livestock on collective farms and state farms—whether they were Meat livestock, dairy livestock, or animal power livestock, breeding livestock, without exception, are all slaughtered. second. The pigs and dairy cows raised by farmers are collected and slaughtered. Third, dispatch special personnel and vehicles to nearby states to snap up livestock at high prices. Fourth, all taxes must be paid in meat. At the same time, the scope of tax payment will be expanded, that is, in addition to state farms, collective farms, and factories, government agencies, schools, and police stations must also pay taxes.

   I didn’t expect Ryazan State to play so big, this kind of thing simply surprised Serov. If this happened under Stalin. For a counter-revolutionary crime, the entire state government is estimated to have no one left, and even the negligent KGB agency and the General Directorate of Internal Affairs will be purged. He licked his dry lips. It seems that Khrushchev is really much more merciful than Stalin. This kind of mistake is enough for Stalin to kill a hundred times.

"Go back and look at the two wastes who just left. Once there is a situation of tipping off with Larionov, take control immediately! Secretly mobilize the internal affairs police to seal up all the grain depots and freezer warehouses under the state government!" Serov crooked He gave an order with his head, "Keep monitoring of Larionov, he can't run away, and he can't commit suicide..."

"Understood, Comrade Vice Chairman! I will do everything I need to do, please rest assured!" The unsmiling agent assured, Serov nodded and watched the agent leave, and at the same time sent electricity to Moscow and asked the Second General Administration to transfer a group of accountants , not too many, fifty people is enough, "The person I want must get on the train now, yes, immediately, send the message as I want!"

   After dictating the contents of the telegram, Serov pulled out an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth in the mirror. Moscow is not far from Ryazan. One day is enough for them to get here, and Serov needs a day to make arrangements. And tomorrow morning, I will go to the Ryazan state government to meet with Larionov, and then I will pretend to be like I just arrived in Ryazan.

   This time Serov has to prove one thing. In front of the KGB, it only takes one day to kick a state government.

At the same time, the situation in Ryazan was also reported to KGB Chairman Shelepin. Shelepin, who was sitting at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, took a deep breath when he learned about the specific situation under Shelov’s control, and drove directly to the Kremlin to meet Khrushiao. husband.

"How could Larionov do this? How dare he do this?" Khrushchev held Serov's telegram, on the one hand because he was blinded and couldn't believe it, on the other because he had been in various Larionov has been highly praised on occasions, and now Larionov has made Ryazan like this, which undoubtedly prevents him, the first secretary, from coming to the stage.

  Khrushchev had a momentary wish to mobilize supplies from other places to fill the hole, but he immediately thought that if Larionov took measures to deceive, would other places do the same? If Ryazan is not the only place doing this, how big is the hole in the entire Soviet Union?

"Tell Yuri to arrest Larionov, in the name of the central government, in my name." The furious Khrushchev spat at Shelepin. At this time, Khrushchev was absolutely in line with the leaders of other countries. He commented that the absolute temperament and personal thinking influenced Khrushchev, but as a communist Khrushchev did not choose to cover the entire hole, but bravely pierced it.

   In the evening, Serov received a telegram from Khrushchev and Sherepin. The telegram was stern. Through the telegram, Serov could understand what kind of mood Khrushchev was in the Kremlin, 200 kilometers away.

The next morning, Serov, who pretended to have just arrived in Ryazan, led a dozen people to the Ryazan state government. Larionov, the secretary of the state party committee, expressed his welcome on behalf of the Ryazan state government, and the two held their hands tightly together. The chairman suddenly came to Ryazan, and I welcome it on behalf of the Ryazan state government."

"I came here mainly to inspect the work of the Ryazan KGB and the General Directorate of Internal Affairs. I didn't expect Secretary Larionov to greet him. I'm really sorry." Serov put on a modest smile and set his eyes on a group of states behind Larionov. As for the leaders of the commission, these people need to be investigated one by one, and they will not cause unjust cases, but if they are related, they will still be punished.

Not long after entering the state government, Isemotny came in and whispered beside Serov, saying that the situation in Ryazan was settled. Serov squinted his eyes and listened to all this, and continued to visit the state government as planned. After entering the state government While listening to Ryazan's work report in the conference room, the entire conference room was blocked by soldiers of the Internal Guard.

A few minutes later, the chairman of the Ryazan KGB and the head of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs came in, and Serov also knew that the play was coming to an end. In everyone's astonishment, he took out the pistol on his waist and untied the handcuffs of the head of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs. , walked up to Larionov and said, "Larionov, put it on yourself! You know what you do best. I arrived in Ryazan yesterday, and one day is enough for a KGB vice-chairman to investigate a state. Clearly."

   "Vice-Chairman Serov, you have no right to do this to a state party secretary, I am a socialist labor hero!" Larionov, who was pressed on the table by a soldier, struggled.

"Of course I have the right. In all areas related to national security, the KGB has the right to intervene. You people are very strange. If we don't show up, can you forget the existence of the KGB?" Seeing Larionov's disobedience, Serov had no choice but to provide himself with food and clothing. He put the handcuffs on Larionov himself, twisted the handcuffs so hard that the handcuffs were caught in Larionov's wrists, gritted his teeth and said, "The socialist labor hero will only aggravate the situation." Your sentence, maybe your death sentence has this credit!" Serov's words were full of death, so that the socialist labor hero couldn't even feel the pain in his hands, and his face was like a puppet. , from Serov's mouth, he knew that things had broken out in Ryazan region.

"According to the orders of Comrade Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Central Presidium, and Comrade Shelepin, Chairman of the National Security Committee, the Secretary of the State Party Committee Larionov and the Chairman of the State Executive Committee Bobkov will be arrested!" Shelov announced the order It made the others breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that they had nothing to do with themselves, but immediately their hearts were raised again, "The General Administration of Internal Affairs will interrogate all the cadres present at the meeting, and the KGB will immediately send people to open all Ryazan grain warehouses and meat products. Cold storage, start checking..."

  In the afternoon, the news that the entire Ryazan Oblast was arrested by Serov had spread to Moscow. This was a big earthquake without a doubt. (To be continued~^~)
