"Roman Pavlovich, how are you doing? Okay? ”

"Vladimir Fedorovich," Anyukov called Manturov's name and patronymic, "did you ask me out today purely to catch up with the past?" ”

Manturov was not a liar, especially in front of his comrades. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In his opinion, any cadre of the Soviet government should be honest, and the sickle hammer pattern printed on the coffee cup reminded him again.

"Rome, indeed, isn't just about reminiscing." Manturov took a sip of hot milk coffee and said the main topic of the day: "Or for Katyusha." ”

"You're talking about Katia Krimena?" Anyukov sugared the coffee and said: "Volodya, I think what I have said recently may cause a little harm to your wife, but you know, I am the kind of person who has straight words, honest Soviet cadres.

Unlike those bureaucrats, who only like to please the leaders and do not like to do things. For the sake of their own professional future, they conceal existing problems and do not dare to make any criticism. In this way, if our society is not criticized and people do not face up to the existing problems, how can society progress? ”

Manturov thought about it carefully and felt that what Anyukov said had some truth. His eyes became extremely deep, and it also showed his unique charm of being young on the outside and mature on the inside.

"Rome, you have a point. We, as Bolsheviks, as cadres of the Soviet government, must truthfully point out the existing problems and let the comrades and the leaders at above face up to the problems, so that society can progress. Manturov first partially agreed with the other side's point of view, winning some favor.

"Volodya, I'll just say it, among so many comrades, I am most convinced by you. Distinguish between public and private, always think about the interests of the country and the people, and will not affect your attitude because of the relationship between relatives. Anyukov appreciated.

"Rome, you're right, and I agree with you. But what did Katyusha do wrong? What is wrong with her now that deserves your criticism?

True, she is the biological daughter of Marshal Voroshilov, but how do you prove that she became secretary of the post purely because of relationships? ”

"Volodya, how do you think that a young woman who is twenty-five years old and has only seven years of party experience suddenly became the second secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee?"

Manturov took a sip of his coffee and frowned, reflecting not only the taste of the sugar-free coffee, but also the feeling in his heart. "Comrade, I admit that it is indeed very difficult for a young woman who is twenty-five years old and has only seven years of party experience to be able to ascend to the position of secretary of the city party committee."

"yes, so you really think there's something wrong with that?"

"yes, she's very problematic, and I'm even more problematic. I was the same age as her, I was born on the same day as her, and I joined the party in the same year. But why was it that I became the first secretary of the state party committee two years ago, a member of the Central Committee a year ago, and now a people's commissar? ”

Anyukov also took a sip of coffee, and although he had already added three spoonfuls of sugar, his forehead also reflected the bitterness in his heart. "You are a capable person, and with your ability and your political achievements, you are indeed qualified for the position of secretary of the state party committee and people's commissar."

"Then why can't Katyusha be capable? Why can't she be up to the position? Does she have a lot of problems at work? If so, let me know. ”

She ...... There was nothing wrong with that, but there was a problem with her appointment. Normally, when there is a vacancy in the position of second secretary, it should be replaced by the secretary of the city party committee with a lower ranking, or a cadre of the same level transferred from other places, and it is rare for the secretary of the Communist Youth League to replace him.

Even if she is allowed to enter the municipal party committee, she should be the third or lower-ranking secretary, not the second secretary. Don't you think it's strange about this arrangement? ”

Anyukov's rhetorical question almost left Manturov speechless. But then again, did Katia herself really do something wrong again? Who called her Voroshilov's daughter? "It's a little weird, but there are some things that you can say once, don't be embarrassed for her. She's already doing her part.

My wife was under a lot of pressure because of these remarks, and I didn't want this to happen any longer. Unless she really has some faults in her work, and these mistakes can fully prove that she is not up to the current position. ”

Anyukov drank the coffee from the cup in his hand and said, "Well, for your sake, I won't talk about that."

But that doesn't mean I don't think there's anything wrong with this personnel arrangement. ”

"Of course." Manturov smiled kindly, because his purpose had been achieved. "In terms of personnel arrangements, there may be some inappropriateness, but since it has been arranged, the municipal party committee has also confirmed her status through elections. Now it's pointless to say anything, the most important thing is to cooperate with the work well, don't create a discordant atmosphere, and don't spoil my wife's mood. ”

"Okay, I got it. Do you want me to say a few kind words for her? ”

"You don't have to. As a friend, what I just said is a kind reminder. You said that Katyusha doesn't matter, at least neither of us nor husband and wife will do anything to you. However, if you offend other people, I don't think you will be able to bear the consequences.

Also, if Comrade Shcherbakov (first secretary of the Moscow City and State Party Committee) and even Marshal Voroshilov know about this now, I think you should know what the consequences will be. ”

"Comrade Anyukov, Comrade Shcherbakov wants to look for you." It was at this time that Anyukov's assistant came over.

"What's the matter? It's still lunch time. ”

"It's about personnel transfers."

Anyukov was only in charge of the economy and construction, and personnel issues were not within the scope of his work. Under normal circumstances, Shcherbakov does not discuss with Anyukov about personnel transfers, unless he wants to change assistants, or he himself is to be replaced.

In Manturov's opinion, in terms of the current situation, the chances of the latter are relatively large. Shcherbakov probably knew about it directly from the cadres, or directly from Katya's mouth.

Besides, with Anyukov's character, he must have offended quite a few people in Moscow. Call him back at this time, presumably to transfer him out of Moscow.

However, these are only Manturov's speculations. Although it was only speculation, the facts were no different from what he thought. Just transferring people away does not mean that it will solve the problem, but will make it worse. This was also expected by Manturov.
