"Get in the car. "Manturov took Katia to an avant-garde convertible, Manturov's custom-built ZIS-101M.www.biquge.info

Katia couldn't believe her eyes, and the modern sports car in front of her could actually appear in the Soviet Union in 1939. "Volodya, are you sure it's made in the Soviet Union?"

"Of course. It was manufactured at the Stalin Automobile Plant in Moscow, and the production project was personally approved by Comrade Stalin. It's just that this car is too avant-garde for people of this era, so so far only two ZIS-101-Sport have been produced. And my ZIS-101M, which evolved from the 101-sport, is the only one. ”

I don't know who said that as soon as the Soviets opened their brains, black technology would appear that shocked the world. Although this car can't shock the world, it shocks a female time-traveler from the 21st century. Although she had heard the name of the car and had seen photos of the ZIS-101-SPORT in the newspapers, it was only when she stood in front of the real body of the modified car that she could discover its avant-garde side.

Of course, the car in front of me is a modified version of Manturov, a traverser, but its shape is actually similar to the prototype designed by the Soviets, but the body is a little shorter, which is enough to open people's eyes.

"Lady go first." Manturov opened the door and made an inviting gesture with his hand, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.

Katia nodded politely and sat down in the passenger seat.

Manturov also helped Katya close the door, walked around to the other side of the car, and sat in the driver's seat.

When Manturov closed the door and started the engine, Katia couldn't wait to say what she was holding back in her heart. "Vorodya, actually, I heard all of your conversations just now."

As Manturov stepped on the accelerator, he asked, "What did you hear?" ”

"Just now, your friend Anyukov said that I am not suitable for the post of second secretary of the city party committee. He's right, I'm inexperienced, and I haven't achieved much so far. If it weren't for my father, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been in this position. ”

"What if you don't have experience?" Manturov twisted the steering wheel and the car moved closer to the left line. "Experience can be accumulated in the work, when I became the first secretary of the state party committee, wasn't it also inexperienced? But I was able to work smoothly in that position, and I was given the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. ”

"How can I compare to you?" Katia touched the black rose on her head and said, "We are all in different situations. ”

The situation is different? Can't compare? Indeed, there is really no comparison between the two situations.

At that time, Manturov was able to become secretary of the state party committee because the entire Novosibirsk oblast party committee, city party committee, and administrative committee were purged because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents during the purge and for colluding with the Ekh-Yezhov anti-Bolshevik clique.

Only Manturov, the first secretary of the Komsomol Committee of the Novosibirsk region, a graduate of Moscow State University, and a landlord of Novosibirsk, was left in a position to take over as the first secretary of the Novosibirsk regional committee.

This Manturov, during the Great Purge, used his meager power and influence to directly or indirectly save countless young people affected by the purge.

Later, he reported to the Central Committee the indiscriminate killing of the former first secretary of the party committee of the West Siberian region (later briefly served as the first secretary of the party committee of the Novosibirsk region), Ekh, who had indiscriminately killed innocents, thus avoiding further development of the situation and winning the support of many cadres in the region.

The most important point is that during his tenure as secretary of the Komsomol Committee of the Western Siberian Territory, Manturov did indeed make many achievements, such as promoting the development of local higher education and establishing the Novosibirsk State Technical University, which was the top university in the Soviet Union. It also strengthened political and ideological education among young people, improved the quality of education in various academic institutions, and actively engaged young people in the building of Soviet socialism.

Although these achievements are not impressive, the cadres of Novosibirsk have taken them seriously, at least the vast majority of the cadres in the region know what he has done and Manturov's attitude towards the world.

After becoming the first secretary of the Upper Oblaster Party Committee, Manturov quickly took steps to significantly increase the industrial and agricultural output of the Novosibirsk region, and was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. These political achievements are convincing, and no one dares to question his status.

However, Katya's situation is very different, she has not worked much time in Moscow, and she has not done any well-known political achievements.

Katya had hardly any contact with any Moscow municipal cadres, who did not fully understand Katya's attitude and ability to work, and there was even an opinion (and the mainstream opinion) that Katia was able to become the second secretary of the listing committee because of her background, not because of her ability to work.

Manturov, on the other hand, came from a poor background, his father died in the battle in Tsaritsyn, and his mother was a low-level cadre, who died of illness when Manturov was just a university student, leaving him alone. This kind of background is not very helpful for job promotion, and it can only rely on ability or connections.

In any case, Katia's current situation is indeed embarrassing, and when people think that she has obtained a high position by virtue of her background, she must make some achievements to prove her strength.

Otherwise, they will be badly spoken of all the time, which is not a good thing for Katya, for Manturov, and for the secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, A. S. Shcherbakov.

"Volodya, what do you think I should do?" Katia took Manturov's right hand and almost turned the steering wheel clockwise.

"Katyusha," Manturov hurriedly pulled back the steering wheel and said, "all you need to do now is observe." ”

"Observation? What to observe? Can you make it clear? ”

Manturov stepped on the gas, and the fastest sports car in the entire Soviet Union sped along the eight-lane Tver Prospect. "You have to look at what can be done in the city and what can be improved in the lives of the people. Once discovered, it is as simple as developing a workable plan to improve the lives of the people of Moscow, or to raise the level of development here. ”

"Where to observe? Do you want to go around the residential area of ordinary citizens? ”

"That's right, not only do you have to go around, but you also have to visit several apartments to find out what the people are really like. In addition to apartments and residential complexes, ordinary shops are also a good place to look at, from where you can get an idea of the price of goods in Moscow. Manturov shared his experience.

"Why don't we go around tomorrow?"

"We?"

"That's right, it's the two of us, you are more experienced, with you with me, I am more relieved. Besides, I'm so beautiful, if you're not afraid of ......, I'll be afraid of ......."

"Okay then."
