British civil servant

"He is a piece of iron, and I can make him speak." Semichasny assured that he is not very old, and he is only 36 years old this year. After taking office, he directly refreshed the minimum age limit for the head of the security department.

Semichasny did not expect that he would encounter such a big case in less than a month after taking office.

The temperature in Lubyanka's internal prison was extremely cold this day. Pinkovsky became the latest distinguished guest. He had already visited Semichas, who had just been wearing a general's uniform, and watched through the bars. This is the first distinguished guest who came in after he took office for a long time.

"24 hours of uninterrupted interrogation, I want him to remember how many times he has wet the bed." Semichasny stood with his hands behind his back and ordered, "He is an intelligence officer with strong anti-reconnaissance experience, so he is not easy to deal with."

"I understand that interrogation is difficult. If the normal interrogation fails, can you give Veritaserum?" Chekalov Georgadze asked his immediate boss to try.

"It's best not to! But if the traitor persists, it's not a big deal. Chkalov must consider this matter after using all means." Semichasne pondered for a long time before saying a word ,"let's start……"

Pinkowski was quickly taken to the interrogation room, and just as he was seated, the searchlight facing Pinkowski's face in the interrogation room was turned on with a snap. At first, the searchlight was no different from ordinary lights, but over time As time went by, it became brighter and brighter, blinding Pinkovsky's face, making it impossible to see where the interrogator in front of him was.

On the opposite side of Pinkowski, the interrogator under the searchlight clearly saw the whole process of the change in Pinkowski's face. Under this kind of light, Pinkowski's face, let alone There is nothing to hide from the subtle expressions, even the injuries on the face are clear.

The direction of the capillaries, the acne marks on the face, and the sebum can all be seen at a glance, and the lamp on the operating table is also a pleasure to look at.Real headlights always belong to the strong department.

As the interrogation progressed, the entire interrogation room was filled with a burnt smell, and the paint on the searchlights couldn't bear it. This kind of uninterrupted interrogation.

In another interrogation room, Regwell, a respected gentleman of the British Empire, mentioned the American connector who was subsequently arrested, which made today's Lubyanka inner prison very lively.

The so-called powerful agency, Lubyanka is naturally also good at using the prisoner's dilemma. No matter how many vicious gangsters can't handle it, let alone intelligence personnel belonging to three different countries.

After a day and a night, the inner prison was filled with a pungent burnt smell that lingered for a long time.

Semichasne has already rushed to the Kremlin with the interrogation record, and a mere major general is not in the eyes of Semichasne.

But we must continue to investigate thoroughly and take measures against people like the marshal, the general, and the former chairman.Of course, this is within the scope of Lubyanka's power, but Khrushchev's approval is still required.

"The world will definitely be shocked by this." Khrushchev was clenching his fists and yelling loudly in front of Kozlov. "I can guarantee that as long as the experiment is successful. No one dares to say no to the Soviet Union."

When Semichasny came in, he happened to see the First Secretary of the Soviet Union intoxicated, hesitated for a moment, and chose to tell the truth, "First Secretary, I have something to report, and I may need your approval... "

A few minutes later, Khrushchev's angry voice sounded in the office, "Check it out for me, whether it is a marshal or a general, you must find out the hidden spies of the imperialists in the motherland and dig out the cancer for me."

Khrushchev's hard-won good mood disappeared after seeing the interrogation record of this espionage case.

The attitude of the first secretary has been made clear. The anti-counterfeiting workers of the Internal Defense Espionage Administration immediately set off from Lubyanka to the Ministry of Defense, together with Marshal Valonov and others, as well as control their families.

"Get a car ready, I'm going to visit Comrade Ekaterina." Semichasny ordered with a microphone.

The first thousand and 120 eight chapters of the tsar also have a son

Semichasny's visit still surprised Fortseva, but immediately the cultural tsar enthusiastically let one of the most powerful people in the Soviet Union come in and asked about his intentions.

The KGB has a special nature and has many internal departments. It is not only an intelligence department, but also in charge of military, transportation, defense industry, scientific research technology, communication facilities, and even the protection of the Kremlin, as well as hundreds of thousands of border guards. . .

For members of the Central Committee at the same level, Semichasny is almost a detached existence.

Not to mention that there are Shelepin behind Semichasny, as well as Yegorychev, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, Kharazov, the second secretary of Lithuania, Tikunov, the minister of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, Meshatsev, the president of the TASS news agency, and Azerbaijan. The first secretary Kochemasov, the chairman of the Soviet Radio Station Goryunov, and the first secretary of the Leningrad Municipal Party Committee Tolskykov are a series of powerful friends.

These powerful factions promoted by Xie Lepin formed a powerful group with him at the center.

"Comrade Fultseva, this visit may be a bit sudden." Semichasny had a gentle attitude. He was not afraid of rumors about the cultural tsar, but respected the positions of the Soviet Central Presidium and Central Secretary.

"Look at what you said, what kind of talk is this?" Fultseva asked very gently, "They are all comrades, so let's talk straight about any questions, in fact, I have heard some."

After all, it was her son who did it. It is impossible for Fultseva to say that she did not know about it. "Did Alyosha get into trouble?"

"On the contrary, he has made a huge contribution." Semichasny shook his head and said, "I believe that he will become a very outstanding anti-revolutionary worker in the future. Maybe after a while, Lubyanka will still help him Award medals."

"Then I didn't think about it. He has just started working and is still so young. Just ensure his own safety. In fact, I have always opposed him to work in the security department, but he is interested in this aspect. I, the Minister of Education, You can't even educate your own son."

Although it has been many years since she served as the Minister of Education, Fultseva is still quite sentimental when she thinks about it.

Part of Fortseva’s words meant concerns about the nature of the KGB’s work, which Semichasny fully understood, but he disagreed with the other part about age, and directly expressed his disagreement, “Age The problem is not a big problem in our country, and many young cadres are contributing to the country. When I was 24 years old, I was already the first secretary of the state party committee in Ukraine."

Ukraine is the most important republic of the Soviet Union, both an agricultural base and an industrial base.The importance in the Soviet Union was second only to Russia, and even surpassed in some respects.

Ukraine is the largest republic of the Soviet Union besides Russia, and Russia itself has no party organization.While the leaders of the Soviet Union are wary of regional expansion, they generally do not forget to keep an eye on Russia.

Because of Khrushchev's relationship, Ukraine has formed a huge political group, and Podgorny and Brezhnev are both important members of it.

Semichasny has a brilliant resume, and later became the second secretary of the Republic of Azerbaijan, because Azerbaijan is located on the border, and he personally carried out many tasks against Iran.

At the age of 36, Semichasny became the chairman of the KGB and the head of the most powerful department in the Soviet Union. Along the way, his pace can be said to be unrepeatable, even better than Shelepin.

For someone as young as Semichasny but with a high position, Fultseva said that the age issue is obviously inappropriate.

However, the cultural tsar was talking about his own son, and Semichasny was not good at arguing about this issue, but he was still optimistic about this kid who had solved a major case and had a good reputation when he just joined the KGB, and he expected him to shine.

Fortseva is also a smooth-sailing cadre, but she still has a lot more administrative experience than Semichasny. Faced with Semichasny's inquiries, Fortseva answered impeccably.

That man had put himself on the heels of Brezhnev, a job that Fultseva dared not deviate from, and he could tell that Brezhnev didn't really like people like Shelepin.

Brezhnev believed that most of Shelepin's groups were cadres with high eyesight and low abilities, so there was nothing to worry about.

What a coincidence, Shelepin’s friends also thought so. Yegorychev, who succeeded Furtseva as the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, thought that most of the people who followed Brezhnev were just waiting to die. Vegetative people, both sides have very average evaluations of each other.

Semichasny came over in person and expressed his optimism for Fultseva's son, which would make Alexeyev's future road much smoother. Fultseva knew this, and neither did he. Neglecting the KGB chairman who came to the door did not mean that he would respond coldly just because the other party did not enter the Central Presidium.

If it was an ordinary member of the Central Committee, even if Fultseva did not have the original intention of killing people at the top level, the other party would not come to the door directly like Semichasny.

Soon Semichasny left. Anyway, Fultseva’s son caught such a big spy. The credit is immeasurable. He should go to the mountain gate in person. Now he will continue to pay attention to Pinkovs progress of the case.

People who join the enemy for reasons of disillusionment—or trauma caused by ideological disorientation—may develop slowly, sometimes over years.This country-serving intelligence operative no longer trusts his own government.

Think you've been hurt by your system and hate your bosses for ruining your career.This is the case with Pinkovsky. Most of the traitors in the Soviet Union were often not lured by money and threats, but because the country did not meet their expectations and began to serve the United States without asking for anything in return.

This kind of spy is often very rare, but the damage caused by each one is particularly huge.

Semichasny couldn't understand how much Pinkovsky couldn't think about it, and let him live a good life. However, he insisted on being a British and American spy, which was something he couldn't understand.

As a colonel of the GRU, he should know little about the Soviet Union's espionage activities in the West, but he knows almost everything. How much work has been done by Pinkowski.

But one thing is certain: the case of Pinkowski’s treason is a certainty, and the award and treatment must be carried out simultaneously. Under the personal attention of the first secretary Khrushchev, the noble person in Pinkowski’s life Deputy Chief of the General Staff Valensov, who was directly responsible for the case, was deprived of the rank of Marshal, Serov was deprived of the post of Director of the General Investigation Bureau of the Soviet General Staff, and General Psovny was ordered to retire directly.

The Pinkowski treason case caused a huge earthquake among the military and intelligence agencies.

After the punishment is completed, the award order will also be issued. As the department that caught the traitor, the KGB should receive the award, especially Lieutenant General Serdyuko, the director of the Internal Defense Espionage Administration, received the award.

And the person who awarded the honor for this treason case is the current chairman of the Supreme Soviet Presidium, Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev. If Alan Wilson is here, he does not hesitate to think that Brezhnev Nev wished he could award himself an honor.

Serdyuko was very excited to receive a great credit, and he was naturally refreshed. After returning to the headquarters of the Internal Defense Intelligence Agency, he immediately picked up the phone and called Alekseev to come over.

The director of the General Administration accepted the award, so naturally he would not take all the credit for it, and this is the son of the cultural tsar, he would not and was not able to take the credit for himself, and he was happy to commend this veritable credit.

"You have this kind of working ability just after graduation. Both I and Lubyanka are looking forward to your future." Lieutenant General Serdyuko took out a bottle of vodka while praising him and asked, "You are already a man. , you should be able to drink, right?"

"Of course no problem, Director!" Alekseev raised his eyebrows and his face became serious.

Lieutenant General Serdyuko took out a cup, filled it with vodka, put the Red Banner Medal in the cup, and handed it to the other party, "Should I drink it first, or read the award book first?"

Alekseev shook the Order of the Red Banner in the glass, took it out and wore it, then drank the vodka in one gulp, and then took a drink break.

This is an unwritten rule for accepting the Order of the Red Banner. It originated from Marshal Galen, the first recipient of the Order of the Red Banner. When awarding the order, he accidentally dropped the Order of the Red Banner into the wine glass. Drank it all down, but I didn't expect this accident to become a rule. Anyone who won the Red Banner Medal would soak the medal in a wine glass filled with vodka, and then drink up the wine in it.

Alekseev was very excited at this time, and his face was flushed because of the vodka. Obviously, for his age, the meaning of national honor is extraordinary.

This is not as good as Alan Wilson. Although he is a British and a spokesperson for imperialism, he even has a medal of victory, which was purchased from the last Romanian king Mihai I. There are several in the world. From this point of view, He is on an equal footing with Zhukov.

Lieutenant General Serdyuko handed the certificate directly to Alekseyev, and said, "I am proud of Dzerzhinsky Higher Military Academy for having such an outstanding student like you."

A certificate of commission was also issued, conferring the rank of captain on a recently graduated member.It could have been higher if it wasn't for Alekseev's age.

For the past few days, Fultseva walks with wind, everyone is smiling, and the brisk sound of high heels on the soles of her feet let everyone in the Kremlin know that the cultural tsar is in a good mood recently.

Kozlov and others also knew that Fultseva's good mood came from her son's meritorious performance. Everyone was very tolerant towards her, the only female member of the Central Presidium. The baby looks radiant.

Chapter 120 Nine Tsar Nuclear Bombs

The Pinkovsky case will continue to be tried, and the current Kremlin has a haze because of this case.

Life is still going on, and Khrushchev confirmed that the original plan remains unchanged, in response to the imperialist hostility towards the Soviet Union in recent times.

Other members of the Soviet Central Presidium agreed that they had nothing to say about the enemy. They only knew fists, so the Soviet Union would give them a casserole-sized fist.

"I see!" Alan Wilson nodded with the microphone under his neck, put down the phone and couldn't help but angrily scolded the bureaucracy.

"What's the matter?" Hepburn saw the man's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and asked cautiously.

"Some things that are not very important. At least compared to my Tiffany, they are not particularly important." Alan Wilson calmed down and replied calmly, "I'm going to be in a hurry to hold a meeting with MI[-], MI[-] and other departments. An intelligence meeting...”

"I remember that the government doesn't seem to recognize the existence of these departments." Hepburn couldn't help smiling, telling the hypocrisy of the British government.

"There is such a saying that for a long time in the future, it should not be admitted." Alan Wilson shrugged. what?

You don't know at all, and can only be called Chaoyang masses in general, for a reason.

Just now, he was still discussing with Hepburn whether Ball Flower's new car is a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce, which one is more suitable for Hepburn's temperament, but now he had to stop the discussion and was busy with some unimportant trivial matters, There are too many such things, and it is easy to make the executive deputy chief feel guilty.

Fortunately, Hepburn was still very sensible, urging men of the same status as her husband to get down to business, kissed him goodbye and watched him leave. This made the man who was addicted to the ball and could not extricate himself think of the burden of the country on his body.

The heads of several intelligence departments showed Lushan's true colors one after another and came to the conference room of the headquarters building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At this time, Alan Wilson was staring at the wolfberry in a daze.

Philby, the head of MI[-], Richard White, the head of MI[-], and Guy Liddell, the director of the Government Communications Headquarters, entered the meeting room. Seeing the situation, they exchanged glances after they sat down, not knowing what to do next Faced with a volcanic eruption, it is still the anger of this layman.

Should the latter be bigger?Because all three of them saw that on the table in front of Alan Wilson, there were enough materials two feet thick. These laymen often like to use detailed materials to dress themselves up as experts.

"I suspect that there is a British spy lurking among the comrades. This has already caused huge damage to the party organization. Regarding the imperialist conspiracy, everyone must continue to work hard to bankrupt it."

When these intelligence chiefs looked at each other, Alan Wilson spoke word by word.

"There are Soviet spies lurking?" Guy Liddell asked suspiciously, he was not sure if his immediate boss was joking.

"There are British spies lurking." Alan Wilson didn't change his words, and then said with a tactic, "Otherwise, I can't explain why such a thing happened. Only this hypothesis can be logically connected."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson took a sip of wolfberry to replenish his energy. He was going to let these intelligence directors have a good experience of what bureaucracy is. It will take six to eight hours to complete this meeting, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee that it will not appear again. When Huaxi was smiling, she was disturbed by trivial matters, "Let's talk about your views on this major loss..."

Almost at the same time, the Tu-95b" strategic bomber took off from the Zhukovsky military base staggeringly! Turned to Murmansk and flew to Novaya Zemlya.

Xindi Island is very strong, because most of the place is covered with granite, it is already here in October, the temperature is minus [-] degrees, the shoots left in the short summer have already withered and yellow, in fact, the summer temperature here is Around zero degrees.

Because of the latitude problem, there will be no four-season rotation. At this time, the Tu-95b strategic bomber at the Zhukovsky military base has left there, and went to Murmansk with the big Ivan assembled.

Soon after, over the Novaya Zemlya test site, a Tu-95b strategic bomber, dragging the big Ivan under the belly of the plane, appeared on the radar station of Novaya Zemlya Island. The commander-in-chief of the test, Marshal Nedelin, confirmed by radio. If there is no abnormal situation, give the command, "Start..."

"Received, received..." Accompanied by an unstable rustling sound, Yasnikov's voice at an altitude of 95 meters came through the radio. Wan was thrown.

First came out a half-meter-long parachute, followed by a second parachute about [-] square meters in size, and a third one with a size of [-] square meters.Finally, the main parachute opened, covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, and the hydrogen bomb dropped smoothly with the parachute.

Wearing sunglasses, Yasnikov quickly drove the Tu-95b strategic bomber away like a sword off the string, escaping at full speed from the attack range of the big Ivan that was about to explode.

Fifteen minutes later, the most powerful explosion in human history occurred at an altitude of 15 meters above the Xindi Islands.

Dazzling flashes of light appeared in the sky and lasted for nearly seventy seconds. Even though it was covered by thick clouds, it could still be seen hundreds of kilometers away.The following fireball flames covered the sky and the earth and lasted for a long time.

In the end, a huge, gray-black mushroom cloud rose into the sky, its top reached the stratosphere, and its height was tens of kilometers.

The mushroom-shaped cloud produced by the explosion was nearly 64 kilometers wide and [-] kilometers high, equivalent to more than seven times the altitude of Mount Everest; the hot wind generated by the explosion could even cause third-degree burns to people [-] kilometers away. It can cause severe pain and burns to the eyes of people [-] kilometers away, and even cause cataracts and blindness.

When the explosion occurred, the crew had been more than [-] kilometers away from the epicentre, avoiding the strong flash.

But even the thick smoke from the aft hatch to shade the sun wasn't entirely protective.The heat wave poured into the cabin, and when the shock wave passed through the plane, the indications of all instruments and equipment rose rapidly, and the pointer jumped back and forth.

Immediately afterwards, various instruments for testing the intensity of the explosion endured the unbearable weight of life.

All the ground radar stations that were still in operation were burned down, and all external communication signals were interrupted. In Finland, people farther away heard the sound of glass breaking in houses without knowing it, and expressed their ignorance.

"In any case, this is a huge failure. Now we must rescue the captured British legal citizens, and we cannot allow Moscow to humiliate..."

At this moment, Alan Wilson is still talking at length in the headquarters building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he wants to implement bureaucracy to the end.

Suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and the conversations of many people spread to the conference room. Alan Wilson couldn't help but shouted to the outside, "What's going on?"

"Permanent Undersecretary, the communications of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been strongly disrupted. We are looking for the reason. And we are contacting other departments to ask if the same is true of other colleagues' departments." Chief Private Secretary Wick immediately appeared, explaining the current situation.

"Keep calm and calm at all times, otherwise people will think that Britain is only at this level." Alan Wilson frowned, saying that you should not always walk ahead, or others will think you are the boss.

What a great opportunity today to blatantly talk nonsense to the heads of several intelligence agencies, and this kind of thing happened.

The executive secretary was about to overcome all difficulties, and when he added a few more sentences, Philby spoke first, "Sir Wilson, if signal interference occurs in the whole of London, it will be a major event for the country, and we should investigate the situation immediately, so that Better, otherwise Whitehall might be blamed."

"Is that so?" Alan Wilson, who recently took a repair class at Ball Flower, asked in a completely amateur tone.

"There is nothing more important than the well-being of the citizens of London." Guy Liddell immediately responded and chimed in, "And once the government's communication is interrupted, it will affect quite a few levels. I must go back immediately."

Richard White also nodded, indicating that he is now advancing and retreating with the two colleagues and has the same view.

"Okay!" Alan Wilson was a little embarrassed, and seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied with the progress of the meeting.

With the sound of "Okay" exit, several intelligence chiefs got up almost immediately, and while packing their things, they promised Alan Wilson that they must dig out the internal British spies...Soviet spies, this meeting is still meaningful , no need to open it a second time.

In the next few hours, the Soviet TASS news agency announced the news that the Soviet Union had conducted a nuclear test on Novaya Zemlya, letting the world know where a series of impacts came from.
