Chapter 1433 Pests? No, they are all talents (First update, please subscribe)
Which institution is most feared in Moscow?

The KGB, of course.

Dzerzhinsky Square, located at the end of Karl Marx Street, has been a terrifying place for many years. Once upon a time, the Lubyanka interrogation center and prison were everyone's nightmare.

This "everyone" refers to everyone in the true sense. Everyone except one person may enter here. Those who are high and mighty during the day will come here at night to be interrogated, and the interrogator may become the target of interrogation by others after the interrogation.

In short, this place is absolutely terrifying!
Like all the offices in the building, this one had the requisite portrait of the mentor on one wall and a photograph of Dzerzhinsky himself on the other.

There is a window in the room overlooking the square, and there are curtains on the windows. People standing by the window will definitely see the statue of the founder of the Cheka through the window again. The 6-meter-high bronze statue stands in the center of the square, his eyes staring into the distance.

At this time, the door opened.

"Comrade Colonel, this is the intelligence that just came from Budapest."

"Oh."

Ivanovsky said at the window.

The major handed over a long envelope and Ivanovsky took it.

"and this."

Major Nicholas said, taking another envelope,

“This is a photo we took outside our representative office in Budapest. Although they are wearing masks and sunglasses, we can tell from their clothes that at least half of them are from here. Now people are fleeing to the Western world through Budapest every day.

Colonel, do we need to take any action?"

Listening to the major's report, Ivanovsky thought for a moment and said:

"They are just a few pests! It's not worth doing anything about it right now. Just leave it to the local police to investigate."

In Ivanovsky's view, the escape of a few "pests" was not a big problem at all, and it even helped them "eliminate pests."

Having said this, Ivanovsky opened the envelope. The information in the envelope was about Li Yian's visit to Hungary, much of which was leaked by senior officials. Looking through the information, he said:

"It seems that their cooperation during this visit is still limited to economic and industrial cooperation, um..."

Ivanovsky nodded, put the information into the envelope, and then said:
"The Kremlin should be relieved now."

Then Ivanovsky took the envelope to see Shelepin, and he didn't even look at the other envelope.

Just some pests gone.

As he left the office, Ivanovsky looked out the window again and saw a trolleybus just passing through the square on Marx Street opposite the statue.

Boris Weisfeler, sitting in the car, glanced at the building behind the square. Although he had not experienced that special era due to his age, he still felt an unknown fear when he saw the building.

However, Boris Weisfeld soon continued to think about academic issues.

"With the new electronic computer, we should be able to achieve some new breakthroughs..."

As a member of the Department of Mathematics at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Boris has been conducting mathematical research with his colleagues Andre Lehmann and others under the leadership of the head of the Department of Mathematics, Alexander Kronrod. Although their research direction is mainly innovation in the field of nuclear physics, Kronrod has a say in the research content and direction, so they are studying a completely new direction, and benefiting from the research in the field of nuclear physics, he and his team can work on advanced computers.

"For graph isomorphism problems..."

When Boris Weissfeld was thinking about the topic they were researching, he didn't know that, in fact, the research conducted by the Department of Mathematics led by Kronrod was the earliest AI laboratory in human history.

The Soviet Union did not have a financial industry, so a large proportion of mathematical talents embarked on the path of scientific research. The machine learning model discussed above is essentially a graph theory problem, which can almost bring this technology to its extreme for scientific researchers with a background in Mathematical Olympiads.

This laboratory should have had a promising future, but its subsequent development encountered setbacks due to political reasons. However, the algorithms they invented still have a profound impact on AI technology in the new century. At this time, these best mathematicians were exploring artificial intelligence little by little in "computer chess".

Their research also benefited from the Soviet system. It benefited from the full application of mathematical talents, which gave them a platform for free development, although the official alienated scientific research into a tool to serve the war. In contrast, in the Western world, a large number of mathematical talents "wasted" their intelligence in the financial field.

In any case, compared to their counterparts in Europe and the United States, the people in this laboratory are laying the foundation for the development of AI. With the help of new computers, their research in areas such as algorithms will only go faster and further.

When Boris arrived at the institute, he found that the atmosphere today seemed a little abnormal. Two policemen were searching a colleague's office.

Soon, Boris learned what had happened from his colleagues.

"Alexei has escaped."

Boris was surprised:

"What? Him? Wasn't he on vacation? When did it happen?" "While he was on vacation."

Lehman said:

"He, his wife and children took the opportunity to travel to Hungary. He has been missing for half a month. According to the police's speculation, he may have obtained a foreign visa from there and went abroad. He may now be enjoying the sun and beaches in Southeast Asia."

When mentioning them, Lehmann's eyes changed slightly, but then he still reminded everyone to work with peace of mind and not be affected by these things.

After the search, the police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said to them:

"Well, we didn't find anything unusual, and we don't know what happened to them, but they disappeared after leaving the country. This is a very dangerous thing. You may not know that Budapest is now full of all kinds of speculators and gangsters. And because of the incident a few years ago, many Hungarians are hostile to us, so..."

The police officer looked at the mathematicians in front of him and said solemnly:

"Alexei, his wife and children may have met with misfortune, so if you are going to travel abroad in the future, try to avoid going to Hungary."

Is this the case?

Who knows the truth?

But as we all know, it is impossible for Hungary to provide Moscow with a list of people leaving the country. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs can obtain the list of people leaving the country through some special channels, it is only a part of the list. For most people, they cannot obtain it.

Therefore, in many cases, they can only list those who have left the country and have not returned for a long time as "missing persons." As for where they are missing?

I'm afraid only God knows.

Of course, the missing persons themselves know this.

While the police were conducting a missing persons investigation at the institute, Liliana had already arrived at customs at the Budapest airport. When passing through customs, she nervously took out her passport.

“Ukrainian passport?”

"Yes, it is."

After just a few simple inquiries, the airport customs allowed Liliana to pass through customs, not caring at all that she held a Ukrainian passport.

When seeing this scene, the reporter who came to Budapest to interview Wang Fuyuan said curiously:
"Ukrainian passport? Can it be used? Wasn't Ukraine a Soviet republic? How come they have their own passports?"

Hearing his question, Wu Yunxiang, who was the press officer of the representative office, naturally knew the reason.

"She used a Soviet domestic passport, a passport of a Soviet republic. All republics have passports, which are roughly equivalent to our ID cards. Logically, they cannot pass through customs to go abroad, but there is a loophole here."

When he mentioned this loophole, the corners of his mouth rose and a smile that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

"What loophole?"

"In fact, these are all mines planted by my loving father."

Wu Yunxiang then explained:
"When the United Nations was founded, Roosevelt wanted to count the 16 republics as founding members of the United Nations in order to increase his voice in the future of the United Nations. Although this goal was not achieved in the end, Roosevelt still agreed to the conditions of two republics. Thus, Ukraine and Belarus also obtained the qualifications of founding members of the United Nations."

There is actually such an operation. Wang Fuyuan was surprised:

"So, theoretically, Ukraine and Belarus are independent countries?"

When asking this question, even he himself knew that it was just an assumption.

"That's the theory, but the question is how you do it. Theoretically, Soviet citizens holding Ukrainian, Belarusian or Russian passports can apply for our visas in Budapest and travel to us. Of course, we are the only one who will issue them visas, and only here will we allow them to leave the country with such passports."

What is shooting oneself in the foot?
When the loving father pushed Ukraine and Belarus to become founding members of the United Nations, he probably never imagined that one day other countries would take advantage of this loophole to poach talents from the Soviet Union.

If I were conscious, I would definitely feel the pain of my foot being hit.

Looking at Wu Yunxiang, Wang Fuyuan immediately understood. He nodded and said:
"I understand. In fact, this is not a loophole. It's just that we and Hungary are taking advantage of it. Through this loophole, can we attract some talents from the Soviet Union?"

Wu Yunxiang did not answer this question because he was an official and he certainly could not agree with this view. They were just acting in accordance with the "UN Charter". If the Soviets wanted to oppose it, they could amend the Charter first.

Of course, before that all they need to do is abide by the charter.

Of course, Liliana didn't know that her passport would arouse the interest of others. At this moment, she only knew that she would be able to travel to another world soon.

There are beaches, sunshine, and everything...
