Chapter 100: Threats
Chernenko is getting more and more unable to listen to it, he is here to canvass for votes, and he is completely at war with President Bo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Andropov what is this going to do, doesn't he know the consequences of doing this? But then I think about it, isn't that just right? He, Andropov, was not afraid of offending people, so let him offend. Who here doesn't enjoy these privileges, and he, Andropov, did just so that everyone abandoned him completely.
"Comrades, last year a huge scandal broke out at Gorky University, where a secretary of the municipal party committee and her lover actually took money from the mouths of our students. Is this just an isolated case? Some of our cadres are morally corrupt to the point of madness! ”
"Not long ago, my deputy, Comrade Tsvigon, unfortunately left us, and he died so suddenly that I still dare not believe that he would commit suicide, and that a man who was talking to his wife about the renovation of the house before going out would commit suicide, I simply feel incredible."
Andropov's speech seems to be arbitrary, and he can say whatever he wants, but Tsweigon's affairs are so sensitive, and he is the brother-in-law of President Bo, although everyone thinks that what Andropov said is not to be heard, but they do not admire his courage, but it is a little strange, what kind of medicine is he selling in the gourd.
"I have had the privilege of working with all of you here for many years, and I am sure that none of us will gradually deviate our ranks from the true Bolshevik way of life advocated by Comrade Lenin, and although not all of us can be socialist Puritans like Comrade Suslov, we will not tolerate the corruption and degeneration of our cadres and the loss of ideals and confidence to move forward!"
"We have cadres who go to work every day with a gold watch that was bribed from their subordinates, and this watch is actually out of our treasury, I wonder if he still has a little bit of shame, what justice is there in the department led by such a person?"
Although Andropov did not name names, everyone has heard a little bit of wind recently, and they know that what Andropov said is related to the jewelry and diamond smuggling case. And a few guys who knew the inside story couldn't help but feel a chill behind their backs, because it was not only one Xiaolokov who received the gold watch, but almost all of the people of the Dnepropetrovsk gang received this kind of gift, and they didn't know who Andropov was talking about, he was the head of the KGB, what else did he know besides these?
Precisely because Andropov did not name the person by name, everyone felt that he seemed to mean something, maybe he was mentioning something, maybe he had mastered something.
"I've heard that some of the cadres' offices have safes stuffed with cash, and I'd like to see them when I have the chance......
Tikhonov involuntarily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he didn't understand why Andropov would say such a thing, Tikhonov couldn't help but think of those rubles in his safe, did Andropov know these things?
"I have also heard that some cadres have diverted the money used by the state to build public facilities for their own use, renovated luxurious villas for themselves, and even even used troops to build private houses for themselves......
Serbitsky, the first secretary of Ukraine, also trembled in his heart, his own matter was actually caught by Andropov, what should I do? He involuntarily glanced at Mr. Bo, who didn't say anything, but his face was not good-looking, which made Shcherbitsky a little unsure.
Andropov's speech lasted for more than half an hour, and no one dared to interrupt him, as long as Andropov said something, some people present consciously took their seats, no one felt that Andropov was complaining, and everyone involuntarily reminded themselves that this person was the head of the KGB, not the kind of old worker who complained in the factory. Every word he says has meaning and conveys meaning beyond the literal meaning to others.
"My job for so many years has been to gather information, but I've seen so many things that make me angry, maybe it's time for me to change places, I'm sorry to tell you so many heartwarming things......"
Andropov's speech finally ended, and everyone applauded as usual, some people cheered vigorously, such as Gorbachev, and others were just perfunctory, such as Chernenko, Tikhonov, etc. But everyone understands Andropov's last two sentences, that is, I know your details, and if you don't let me go one step higher, I will find out all about you.
No one doesn't care about their reputation, especially these high-ranking people, everyone is not young, and if they are really entangled by the KGB, no one is sure that they will be able to escape the KGB's investigation. It seems that Old Man An is here to play Yin today, and he has long known that he has some black materials in his hands, but he didn't expect that people would investigate so carefully, and even know how much money you have in your safe.
"It's been two rounds of secret balloting, and there are still no results, so I think we'd better use the secret ballot!" Andropov finally suggested that he had said everything that needed to be said, and that if anyone stood in his way, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
……
For the first time today, the committee members in the audience reached a consensus on one matter, which is undoubtedly a good start. Under the organization of the Inspector General, Perchet, the vote was again taken.
"Commissars in favor of Comrade Andropov, please raise your hand!"
As soon as Percher finished speaking, six members of the committee raised their hands in support of Andropov. They were Gorbachev, Grishin, Gromyko, Romanov, Kirilenko and Perche himself.
Seeing this, Mr. Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was still six to six, and Chernenko still had a chance.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, is there anyone else?" Bo counted the number of people for a moment and asked. "If not, just keep going!"
"Then, members of the committee who support Comrade Chernenko, please raise your hand!" Presenter Perche announced again.
"Brush! Someone quickly raised their hand! After a while, the number of people seemed to stop moving, and Percher began to count them again.
"One, two, three, four, huh? How are there only four of them? Percher couldn't believe his eyes.
Instead of raising their hands were Tikhonov, chairman of the Joint Council of Ministers of the Supreme Soviet, and Kusayev, first secretary of the Kazakh party committee, who should not have been Chernenko's hardcore allies? What's going on?
"You, the two members who haven't published a single thing! What is the meaning? Percher asked, puzzled.
"I ...... I felt that the two were evenly matched, so I decided to abstain! ”
"I ...... Me too! ”
The two resigned to each other, and Perche turned his gaze to Mr. Bo and asked him to decide. Mr. Bo hesitated, but finally nodded and admitted the result, Andropov got what he wanted, with a smile on his face, and Chernenko congratulated the old man for the first time, although he had already scolded Kusayev and Tikhonov in his heart.
