After the end of the war, Manturov had more work on his hands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Deputy Prime Minister for Industry and Construction, he was appointed Chairman of the "Demolition Committee", which was responsible for industrial demolition and technology transfer in the Axis-occupied areas.

Originally, Stalin planned to dismantle all the industrial equipment in Germany and move it to the Soviet Union to resume production, but this would consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and would cause a great obstacle to the development of socialist Germany.

Taking into account the consequences of large-scale demolitions in the Soviet Union in history, Manturov proposed to Stalin the policy of "technology-based" industrial transfer.

According to his idea, the work of the Soviet Union in Germany should be based on the transfer of technical documents and technical personnel, and the scale of industrial demolition in the early stage should not be too large, only need to take away part of the equipment as a sample, for the Soviet technical personnel to develop and use for reference, and the rest of the things should be left to socialist Germany as the basis and capital for future economic development.

Germany's war reparations to the Soviet Union were repaid in the form of industrial products, which not only would not cause undue damage to the future development of socialist Germany, but would also stimulate the development of their industrial economy, and at the same time increase the supply of materials to the Soviet Union, and also increase Germany's economic dependence on the Soviet Union, so as to achieve a win-win situation.

After some discussion, Manturov's proposal was finally adopted by the Politburo, and the "Demolition Committee" was renamed the "Industrial Technology Transfer Committee" and began to transfer industrial technology from Germany.

The work of the Industrial Technology Transfer Committee was not much, because since the Soviet troops entered Bavaria, the relevant departments had already begun to transfer the technical documents of major German enterprises to the Soviet Union, and poached German technical experts in the Soviet-occupied areas by means of coercion and inducement.

After the end of the war, the technical documents of the major German industrial enterprises were basically taken away by Soviet personnel, and German technical experts were also transferred to the Soviet Union under the coercion and inducement of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of State Security, and only a small number remained in Germany or fled to the Anglo-American occupation zone of the Netherlands and Belgium.

The rest are basically some technical documents that are not very technical, and there are some experts who are not very important or have a low level of knowledge. Neither these documents nor the experts were much needed in the USSR, and the vast majority remained in Germany for the industrial development of the future socialist German government.

As a result, the only work of the Manturov committee was to dismantle industrial equipment, but because they only needed to dismantle some of the more high-tech equipment for research samples, the workload was not too large and anyone could cope with it.

However, Manturov's work did not stop there: as a member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), he also had to participate in the preparations for the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of Brazzaville.

Adults who are well versed in the history of the Soviet Union may ask me, didn't the 19th Congress of the CPSU be held in 1952? True, historically, yes, but in this world, because of the early end of the war, Stalin had to follow the practice of holding the Congress of the CPSU every five years, and convene the 19th Congress in 1939, the fifth year after the 18th Congress of the Communist Party of Brazzaville (1944).

As head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Manturov had no shortage of work on his hands. He had to examine the candidates for the next full and alternate members of the CPSU Central Committee, and as secretary of the Central Committee, he had to attend a number of meetings of the Secretariat of the Central Committee to discuss the details of the 19th Congress, as well as the decisions and resolutions to be proposed at the meeting.

Although there are many of these things, they are not too troublesome. The most troublesome thing was the investigation and appointment of the first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee.

On May 10, 1944, the day after Germany's surrender, Alexander Shcherbakov, first secretary of the Moscow City Committee and secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, drank an excessive amount of alcoholic beverages at a reception celebrating the victory in the Great Patriotic War, causing heart failure and eventually dying.

In fact, Shcherbakov had always had a bad habit of drinking, which made his physical fitness worse and worse, and at the victory reception on May 10, he drank two or three times as much as usual, and as a result, his already unhealthy and not very young (43 years old) body eventually failed.

After the death of Shcherbakov, the posts of first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, head of international liaison of the Central Committee of the CPSU and a secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU became vacant.

As for the candidate to succeed him, there is not yet a unified candidate in the top echelons of the CPSU, because the position of first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee and secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee is so attractive that every political force wants to put its own people on it.

At the moment, there are two candidates who are the most capable candidates for this position: Katya Manturova (Voroshilova), the second secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, and Georgy Popov, the chairman of the Moscow City Soviet Administrative Committee.

As was customary, the first secretary of the municipal party committee in the USSR was usually replaced by the second secretary of the municipal party committee of the city, and if the second secretary did not go up, he was transferred from the outer state/union republic.

Because Moscow is the capital of the Soviet Union, the status of the first secretary of the municipal party committee is even higher than that of the secretary of the state party committee and the secretary of some member states, so taking over from the secretary of the union republic to the secretary of the Moscow municipal party committee is actually a kind of promotion.

Historically, Khrushchev rose from the position of first secretary of the Party Committee of the Republic of Ukraine to the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Committee and secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine in 1949, so that he had the opportunity to run for the post of first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

Otherwise, no matter how well he is the first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, as long as he does not become the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, he will have no chance of running for the first secretary of the CPSU.

If the candidate for the post of first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee had been chosen by the city, Katya would have a better chance of being succeeded by the chairman of the Administrative Committee of the City Soviet, Georgy Popov.

But if someone is transferred from outside, there are many possibilities, and the current head of the important oblast/union republic has the opportunity to become the first secretary of the Moscow city party committee. As long as he occupies this position, and at the same time serves as a member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, he will be able to enter the high-level decision-making bodies of the CPSU.

In Manturov's view, it is undoubtedly the best choice to make Katya the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee and also the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, after all, she is her own woman, she is more reliable in politics than anyone else, more trustworthy than anyone else, and she is more forward-looking in the planning and planning of the development of the city of Moscow, and is familiar with the situation in Moscow.

But her shortcomings are also obvious, she is only 30 years old this year, her work experience is not as rich as others, and her party age and age are not as strong as others, if she only serves as the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, it is estimated that she can still be fine, but at the same time as the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, it is a bit controversial (although Andreyev and Manturov were younger than her when they became the secretaries of the Central Committee).

In contrast, Georgy Popov, chairman of the executive committee of the Moscow City Soviet, had much more work experience, worked in Moscow longer, and knew more about Moscow than Katya, but he did not stand out in his position, and it was customary for the chairman of the city Soviet to be promoted to first secretary.
