"Comrade Andropov, how is Katyusha's performance?"

Manturov and Andropov sat down on a park bench and began to talk about them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Comrade Voroshilova has done a good job. It's also very attentive and efficient. Moreover, she is also a graduate of Moscow State University, and I am not worried at all in terms of ability. Just ......"

"Just what?" Manturov couldn't wait to ask.

"It's just that her people are a little ...... Rebellious, mischievous, and 'otherworldly' to put it mildly. As you saw just now, she likes to shake hands with her left hand, and she likes the unlucky black. Under the pretext of improving the working environment, he insisted on removing the statue of Stalin from his office, which is a bit ...... I don't know how to say it. ”

Manturov helped his titanium-rimmed glasses, smiled slightly, and said, "She's like this, it's okay if you get used to it." ”

However, Andropov, who was strict with both his subordinates and himself, could not tolerate such an "otherworldly" behavior as Katya. He was very surprised by Manturov's answer as secretary of the state party committee.

"Comrade Manturov, I don't think any party cadre should behave in such an impudent way as stretching out his left hand. We should not just remove the portrait of Stalin, as she did, because this is not in line with our line. Don't you think it's problematic for her to do this? ”

"Don't worry, in fact, her own thinking is in line with the general line. It is not a big deal to remove the portrait of Stalin, as long as she supports Comrade Stalin in her heart, then it will do. Moreover, Comrade Stalin himself was opposed to the cult of personality and did not like to be hung everywhere with his portrait and statue, a position he had already made clear in January 1937.

Otherwise, Katia would have been purged long ago when she was in Moscow. The scale of cleaning over there is much larger than here, and the standards are much stricter. ”

Andropov pondered for a while, finally nodded and said: "Comrade Manturov, you have a point. ”

"I know who she is. If she really does something wrong, please notify me as soon as possible. I'll help with that. ”

At this time, Andropov realized that something was wrong. He found that Manturov cared more about Katya than the average friend. There must be some special relationship between the two of them. "Comrade Manturov, do you have that kind of relationship with Comrade Voroshilova?"

By this time, Manturov's purpose was already halfway there. The purpose of his conversation with Andropov this time was not to understand Katya's work, but to swear his "sovereignty".

Although Andropov is married and has a daughter, that doesn't mean he won't get Khatia's idea. In the history of our world, Andropov was divorced from his original wife during World War II with a female secretary of the Komsomol secretary. It can be seen that General Secretary An at that time was not a really single-minded good man.

And Katia is not only beautiful, but also Andropov's subordinate. They have to meet almost every day, get along day and night, and Secretary An will inevitably have feelings for her.

Although Katia and Manturov once had a deep relationship and lived together for a while, after more than twenty years of traveling life, Katia's love for Villadimo will inevitably deteriorate.

"Comrade Manturov, what's wrong with you?" Andropov's words summoned the contemplative Manturov.

"Nothing. By the way, why do you think there is a special relationship between me and her? ”

Andropov thought carefully for a moment and said: "I don't know, I just feel this way, I always feel that there is an unusual relationship between the two of you, and you also have a special experience of getting along, can you tell me about it?" ”

"It's a secret between me and her. If you want to know, then ask her yourself. ”

Manturov did not reveal anything on the surface, did not admit it, and did not deny it. But from his answer, the clever Andropov knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he heard it.

"Don't worry, Comrade Manturov. I'll keep an eye on her and won't let her be harassed in any way. If something happens to her, or who she starts getting too close to, I'll let you know as soon as possible. ”

Apparently, Andropov already knew the answer, and Manturov's goal had been fully achieved. Secretary An not only recognized Manturov's "sovereignty" and signed the "Amman Non-Aggression Pact," but also attached an "Amman Mutual Defense Pact." This is exactly what Villademo wants.

Manturov stretched out his right hand and said, "Yuri, with your words, I am relieved." By the way, in the future, you can just call me Villadimore, and you don't need to call me 'Comrade Manturov'.

Actually, I really admire you, you're a really good person, and I hope we can become good friends. ”

Villadimore, who has studied the history of the Soviet Union, certainly does not know who Andropov is. The young man in front of him was none other than the general secretary of the "future", one of the best evaluated Soviet leaders by posterity.

For Manturov, it was a blessing to be friends with such a person. And for Yuri, the man in front of him who became the governor of a state at a young age must have something extraordinary, and he is also a figure worth befriending. At the same time, Manturov is also his superior, and he is still the most powerful task in the state, and this man must be hugged on his thighs.

Yuri shook Manturov's hand and said enthusiastically: "Viladimore, it's a pleasure to meet you. He turned his gaze to Anna and continued: "How is Comrade Romanova's work?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

Yuri smiled eerily, as if he meant something special. "Viradimore, we're all the same, a man, you know."

Seeing Yuri's expression, Manturov couldn't help frowning, and returned to his usual serious appearance. "Yuri, don't you have Nina? Why hit Anna Idea? ”

Andropov sighed and said: "Viladimore, you have misunderstood. Nina and I have a good relationship, why fight Anna's idea? Actually, it wasn't me who made her idea, it was a friend of mine, I just wanted to get to know Anna as a person and see if she was a good friend for me. ”

However, Manturov did not believe Andropov's words. He felt that the friend in Andropov's mouth was actually Yuri himself.

He has seen a lot of this kind of language art of presenting himself as a friend. This kind of trick is neither bright nor clever for him. But all this he thought was just speculation, and he wanted to test the other party.

Villadimore looked at Yuri's expression with his eyes, observing the other party's every move, and asked tentatively, "Which friend are you referring to?" ”

This is a useful question to directly test whether the other person is playing a language arts trick. If the other party can't answer, or hesitates for a long time before giving an answer, then his trick will naturally be exposed.

"I can't say." Yuri replied firmly.

Manturov did not miss the opportunity and asked fiercely: "Why can't you say it?" Is your friend the one you call yourself? ”

"That's a secret between me and him, and I can't confess him." Yuri saw that the skeptical expression on Villademo's face hadn't changed in the slightest, and immediately added, "If you want to know, it's okay for me to say it, but please don't say it." ”

"No problem. Friends should be trustworthy with each other, and I will definitely not tell him about what he likes about Anna. Can you tell me? ”

Andropov leaned close to Manturov's ear and whispered: "It's Comrade Yakov from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

"Which Yakov?"

"Major Yakov Yakovich Yakov. The name is easy to remember, right? It is the same for surnames, first names and patronymics. ”

If you have outstanding memory, you should have a little impression of Yakov as a person. That's right, the same brother who had breakfast with Manturov.

"Yakov? Do you know this kid? ”

"We met in Rybinsk. Later, after he was transferred to Siberia, we didn't see each other again until yesterday. ”

At the mention of Rybinsk, Manturov thought of something strange to him. "Yuri, you did a good job in Yaroslav Oblast, why did your superiors transfer you to bitter cold Novosibirsk?"

"I applied for it myself. I heard Yakov say that this place is far from the front line, and the supply of materials is stable, the living environment is good, and a large number of people are needed, so I applied to come. As for why you were placed in your previous position, then I don't know, this is the decision of the party organization. ”

In fact, it was Manturov's decision to transfer Andropov, and when he was acting secretary of the state party committee, he had already written to the above asking for Andropov and Chernenko, and it was approved by the Central Committee. As soon as Manturov sat upright, the two men were transferred.

Although Manturov knew that there would be a war soon, and that soon the entire western part would be affected by the flames of war, he still pretended not to know and asked: "What front?" ”

"Judging by the current situation, there will definitely be a big war in the near future. Now, Japan has occupied Manchuria (northeastern China), and Germany, which has always been hostile to the Soviet Union, has annexed Austria. If Germany were to occupy Poland, they might join Japan in attacking the Soviet Union. At that time, both the Far East and the West will be affected by the battlefield. ”

Manturov was amazed by Andropov's analysis. Could it be that he also crossed over?

To determine if the other party was a traverser, Manturov asked another tentative question. "Comrade Andropov, how did you come to these conclusions?"

"This is what Comrade Yakov told me."

"Oh, I see. Actually, that's what I told him. ”
