Plenary of the Main Directorate

There is no world where there is only light and no darkness, and he does not mind being in the darkness himself for the sake of the light life of most people, "Academician Sukachev!" Serov called out to the scientist who wanted to leave and whispered, "Can't the biological genes of a species be artificially synthesized by means?"

This sentence makes academician Sukachev shocked. There was some shock looking at the KGB Lieutenant General before him because his idea was too bold. Synthetic genetic crops, in fact, are genetically modified. Please forgive that Serov is not an expert in describing some less precisely, but his meaning is this, as an expert in this area, Sukachev is to understand the meaning of Serov's remarks therein.

"No one exactly knows what consequences will result when we challenge genes!" Sukachev was unaware of the latter-day debate on the genetic modification but questioned the possibility from his own profession.

"Since we do not know the results, let's try first!" Serov, wearing a disgusting smile, said, "No big deal, we can first export and use foreign people to do a little test, is it? If there are no side effects, naturally, the best. If something goes wrong, our enemies are also affected!" As an ordinary person with an essential identification of the enemy's position, Serov has been adhering to the view that it would be possible to trap a hundred Americans daily, at least a million people, before they die. Trap a person is easy. The hard part is to trap people every day.

"I cannot allow science to have consequences that harm humanity. I am a scientist with the ideal of benefiting humanity in mind!" Academician Sukachev pondered for a moment and gave his answer.

Understood! Serov nodded knowingly, looking as if he admired Academician Sukachev's moral integrity, and said, "There are two consequences to everything, and if your results can make humanity happier, why not?"

A proper scientist pursues science with the ideal of benefiting humanity, for which Serov gives admiration. Since this is the case, a noble scientist cannot do something dark, or it is better for the KGB to take up this sinful hook. Anyway, Serov does not care about one more sin in his body. He had already blown up the U.S. embassy before, violated the principles of diplomacy, and was shot en masse with his hands stained with blood, exporting the revolution to start a war. Even if it is one more, it is nothing.

A scientist's desire to challenge the unknown is more tempting to a scientist than anything else, and for Academician Sukachev, too, scientists want to know about the world. It's an instinct! The more they know, the more they feel they don't know enough about the world. The ideas presented by Serov are seductive to a biologist like Academician Sukachev, who stands at the top of the Soviet Union.

"Think of the future prospects. When a species that brings together the advantages of various crops takes shape, how many fewer starving people will there be in the world? Whether or not the people of the Third World can be saved depends entirely on whether or not scientists can move science forward!" Serov closed his mouth after finishing his words, the meaning of which by this scientist still needs to be thought himself, not by him, a secret agent, to instill deliberately.

"Director, these people are too pedantic to understand what the country needs. No wonder they are no match for Lysenko!" Izemotny, as Serov's confidential secretary, knew what Serov was trying to say exactly and could not help but despise Academician Sukachev for this insistence on unnecessary morality.

Being ridden on the back, Serov is not moving. The body is straight like a javelin, and the tilted head with a spoiled smile, "Scientists have scientists insist they have their own ideals, which is good, and all the unseen things we go to do just fine, is not this our own work?"

"But it's not fair to us! We have contributed no less to our country than anyone else!" Izemotny looked at the side of the man's face unevenly, "We have sacrificed so much in exchange for nothing but the misunderstanding of the people, who will only think of surveillance, terror, coldness, and ruthlessness when we are mentioned. No one will remember our contribution and sacrifice ..."

"Do not have such thoughts!" Serov's voice was cold but immediately turned soft, "Society has a division of labor, there is a light side, and there is a dark side. We stick to the darkness to defend the light! To stick to the ideals and not care about outside discussions is our job!"

Patting Izemotny's shoulder to get the woman down, Serov said with a firm smile, "I don't know what real communism looks like, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about that good life! Since the country needs people like us in the darkness to defend the light, even if we can't see the light, it's okay!"

"However, we do not necessarily see what a communist society really looks like!" Izemotny said with some choked sobs looking at Serov. She was even more aware of Serov's physical abnormalities than his real wife, and no one could say clearly whether this change was good or bad. The woman did not care about a great ideal. She only wanted her man to be always by her side.

"Hehehe, I am immortal!" Serov laughed and bragged hard to his woman until Izemotny broke into laughter, and seeing the woman's smile, Serov also felt the gloom in his heart diminish a lot.

On December 27, Lubyanka Square was already full of vehicles, where the whole KGB was gathered. The Directorates of the Committee for State Security (KGB) are the First Directorate of External Intelligence, the Second Directorate of Counter-Intelligence, the Third Directorate of Military Counter-Intelligence, the Fourth Directorate of Counter-Intelligence Support for the Transport and Communications Infrastructure, the Fifth Directorate of the Political Police, the Operational Technical Directorate, the External Surveillance Directorate, the Cryptography Directorate, the Counter-Intelligence Support for The Economy Directorate, and the Personnel Directorate. There were also peer divisions, such as the Investigative Department, the Directorate of Government Communications, the Inspection Directorate, the Analytical Directorate, the Department of Financial Planning, the Legal Department and Arbitration, and the Special Operations Executive. There are also some very important local divisions.

All the twenty directors of the Committee for State Security were present, and most of the cadres of the subordinate directorates would arrive the next day to attend the next day's plenary session. Serov got out of the car wearing a military uniform with a big-brimmed hat with a dark blue edge, followed by Izemotny and Lucani. Before entering the headquarters, he disarmed his gun and said to the two women, "You two wait outside!"

He entered the main office's meeting room, where he had just opened the door to give Serov the illusion of entering a nuclear power plant, and green smoke came out along the open door, "People who don't know may think our headquarters is on fire. The imperialists are unable to eliminate all our members. How ridiculous would it be to be taken out by fire?" Serov teased while sitting in his chair.

KGB Chairman Shelepin himself is a big smoker, so nobody from above will deliberately pay attention to this event if they want to control their smoking habit, "We are in a meeting, should not we pay attention to not pollute the air!" Serov stood on the moral high ground to criticize his colleagues, lighting a cigarette and exhaling a meter of smoke.
