Chapter 9 Have a drink
The KGB has "Foreign Intelligence Bureau, Domestic Counter-Espionage Bureau, Military Administration, Border Defense Force Administration, General Affairs Bureau, KGB station team, etc. The KGB system staff once reached more than 500,000, including 10,000 headquarters, 200,000 spies, counter-espionage and technical support departments, and 300,000 border guards. In addition, there are 1.5 million informants across the country, 250,000 spies abroad, with an annual budget of 10 billion US dollars.
In the Soviet Union, the KGB established branches in various republics, and most of the branches were chaired. In extremely important places, such as Leningrad and other places, the local KGB presidents also became the vice chairman of the headquarters in Moscow. Offices were usually set up in secondary cities in general that joined the republic to monitor the country without blind spots.
Different regions of their locations, the focus of the branches in different regions is also different. The Soviet Union's revival focuses on party affairs, while border areas such as the areas where Selov is located mainly focus on counter-espionage and dealing with overseas forces.
Compared with the CIA and the Alliance Bureau of Investigation, the KGB's functions were combined into one, and its strength was more than the two. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the peak of the KGB. In Selov's memory, the KGB's reputation resounded throughout the world, and its influence was even more than the CIA and the FBI.
Its status is almost the same as the CIA and the FBI. The KGB takes into account both internal and external conditions at the same time. The Gru U, which is said to be inaccessible to stars in the Soviet Union, is affiliated with the General Staff Intelligence Bureau of the Red Army. Most of the time, it is only subordinate to the KGB. The KGB Chairman can almost directly order the Gru U to operate. The Gru Utah's personnel rights, plans and arrangements for external spy intelligence activities, etc., are subject to the supervision and control of the KGB.
It can be said that after defeating the SS, which had almost the same functions during World War II, the KGB had no opponents worldwide. As a department, the KGB functions and authority over all other departments, and was the first real-powerful department in the Soviet Union. Beria and later Soviet leader Andropov were enough to prove the strength of the KGB.
It is precisely because of this that Selov's momentum was weaker as soon as he spoke. Almost no one in this department could not be captured. It was not almost impossible for Selepin to launch a coup against Khrushchev if he had not controlled the KGB. Without the support of the KGB, Selepin would not be qualified to be on par with Brezhnev. In other words, as long as the KGB chairman is not afraid of death, he can launch a coup with the power controlled by the KGB itself.
The current KGB boss, Belia, dares to ignore Malenkov, who is still ranked before him because of the KGB support. In Selov's head, the name of the Cultural Palace should be understood as a library or something, and some things should not appear here, such as the bottle of vodka in front of Selov.
During the Soviet period, although vodka could not be banned in the territory, at least the Soviet men at this time were far from the drunken country of Russia in later generations. Selov also wanted to ask Aliksai why such unscientific things appeared in the Cultural Palace. Did he misunderstand the meaning of the word Cultural Palace? Is there any law in the eyes of the KGB?
"Comrade Yuri, it's not working hours now, and even a steel wire cannot be straightened wirelessly!" Aliksai pushed a bottle of vodka in front of Selov and said, "The most important thing is to keep your work in mind, especially as an intelligence officer, you need to find a way to relax quickly!"
The way you introduced is to relax? Shelov didn't say it at that time, but just saw Aliksai's skillful opening of the bottle, and he felt a little distressed. This is not that Shelov can't drink at all, but he has to compare with whom he can drink, right? On the Internet in later generations, the third brother who cheated and the fighting nation who drinks had a great click rate.
Russians drink like the northeastern region in China. Judging from quarterly surveys, Northeastern people don’t seem to drink. Who says the investigation will not lie? Northeastern people don’t drink every day. If one day your Northeastern friends come to you for drinking, they are ready to not go home and drink as they die.
Seeing Aliksai looking like he was not an outsider and drinking water, Sherov believed even more firmly in his judgment. That's how his Heilongjiang friend drank. You care whether he was dead or alive afterwards. Anyway, he drank it at that time, and it was a matter of discomfort.
"Aliksai, don't drink like this!" Shelov didn't know if it was like this in the cold climate. If it was true, remembering the Northeastern people's one-on-one urging to drink, Shelov had already foreseeed his own fate.
"Oh, Selov, please continue!" Aliksai nodded, "Vodka is better than Russia. I heard that Poland is also good, but Azerbaijan is average here, and I always feel that it doesn't seem to be less than the degree..."
Selov was relieved a little. Although vodka and liquor were both distilled liquor, the process of vodka was similar to liquor, but unlike Chinese liquor, the process of vodka was similar to liquor. However, there was one thing that vodka was generally made into alcohol up to 95 degrees by distilled water, and then desalted with distilled water to 40 degrees to 60 degrees. This process made Selov deeply afraid. If you remember correctly, 95 degrees is the degree of industrial alcohol.
"You KGB are so busy, it's really a surprise to see you from here!" Shelov chatted casually. Although there were young young people in this place, if it was in his previous life, Shelov would not care about raising the eyes here, or chatting with a girl. But seeing a group of working-class brothers and college students here, Shelov couldn't get rid of it. For the first time, he discovered that the first identity of the 26-year-old first secretary showed a disadvantage.
"Yes, it's so busy. Many people come back from Siberia, and we have to continue to identify them!" Aliksai said, "I really don't know why those sinners are sent back. We have arranged these people so that they can't make them a factor of social instability!"
"How many people are there?" Selov asked with a smile.
"About 20,000 people!" Aliksai said carelessly, "We need to issue certificates to these people and re-arrange their work. Of course, we may have finished identifying it by then, and your Communist Youth League still has some workload!"
On March 28, Voroshilov, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, signed and announced that 1.2 million people were released and 400,000 people were suspended from investigation. This was the first major event that shocked Soviet society after Stalin's death. Beria also submitted a report to the Presidium on the case of the "Mingleir Nationalist Group", the case of former Air Force Commander Shahulin and the People's Committee member of the Aviation Industry Novikov, Artillery Marshal Yakovlev, Artillery Administration Director and Artillery General Walko Trubinko. Based on these reports, the Presidium made corresponding rehabilitation resolutions.
