From the moment he received the keys to his office, Manturov began to fulfill his duties as secretary of the Central Committee and head of the organization department. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The new office is located in the office building of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Brazzaville at 4 Starea Square, which is a square but in fact a greener street.

Manturov's office is located on the 6th floor (the top floor), facing the Ilinsky Park, the environment is not bad, at least the view is quite open, the air quality is relatively good, and it is also a good office location.

"Comrade Secretary," walked a young man in a suit and black-rimmed glasses, who was Manturov's new assistant (secretary) - Konstantin Konstantinov.

None of the people who can be the secretaries of the central leaders are simple, and the people who can be selected by Manturov are even more difficult.

Originally, Manturov wanted to transfer his former secretary, Maxim Dernov, to the Secretariat of the Central Committee. This secretary, who was born as a political worker in the army, has a certain amount of experience in political work, and there is nothing to say about his personal qualities.

However, Dernov also had many shortcomings -- that is, he lacked experience in working in party and government organs, and he did not have a high degree of education and a keen sense of politics, so he was not suitable for working in the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

After thinking about it, Manturov finally decided to send Dernov to a group army as the head of the political department, and then select a cadre with higher education and party and government work experience to be his assistant.

For him, the role of assistant is very important, after all, this is his right-hand man, and he is also the closest person to him at work, so his requirements for assistants are strict after all, at least have a certain degree of education, a certain level of knowledge, and have experience in party and government work, and have extraordinary wisdom and sense of smell.

Konstantin was the only candidate who met these requirements, and he graduated with honors of the first class from Moscow State University, so naturally there is nothing to say about the level of education and knowledge. He used to work in local party committees, and he also has certain experience in party and government work, and is familiar with the operation of party organizations and local party and government institutions.

As for whether he has wisdom or not, whether he has a political sense or not, it depends on his future performance.

"Comrade Storozhev is here." Konstantin informed his boss in a proper manner, and with Manturov's approval, he invited Stolyzhev in, then closed the office door in amusement, and returned to work in the assistant's office.

Yakov Vasilevich Storotev was deputy head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU and Manturov's deputy.

In 1938, at the age of 27, he was elected Second Secretary of the Republic of Uzbekistan, becoming the youngest secretary of a member state in the history of the Soviet Union.

Soon after, at a young age, he was elected an alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Brazzaville, and became deputy head of the Organization-Guidance Department of the Party Central Committee (the predecessor of the Organization Department), and was promoted at a rate comparable to that of Manturov, and was once considered one of the most politically promising cadres in the Soviet Union.

In 1940, at the age of 29, he became deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and he worked until he was 45 years old.

By the time of Khrushchev, the cadre, who had been quickly promoted through the Great Purge, was repressed, transferred to the post of editor-in-chief of a newspaper, and eventually retired from this position.

And in this world, the fate of Storov depends on the hands of Manturov, the head of the trust organization.

If he performs well, he may be able to get more promotions, and it is not a problem to be promoted to the rank of a full member of the Central Committee, but if he does not perform well, he can only work in this position to the end, or be relegated to a state with poor conditions.

Now it seems that Storotev's performance is quite decent, there are no bright spots in his work, and there are no outstanding advantages in his personal character, and the only thing that can be regarded as an advantage is that he has a better understanding of the situation in the organization department, gets along well with the cadres, and has a certain understanding of the work of each department and the characteristics of each cadre.

"Comrade Storozhev, what do you think about the work of the Organization Department of the Central Committee?" Manturov was not polite, and directly asked the other party questions to test the other party's political and work ideas.

Storozhev's answer was rather decent, saying only that the Organization Department, as the cadre inspection and appointment department of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, should do a good job in inspecting cadres, gain an in-depth understanding of the abilities and characteristics of different cadres, and use them in the most appropriate positions according to their respective conditions to bring into full play their benefits.

Manturov asked him about the situation in the organization department, presented his personal ideas on work, and completed the meeting in just half an hour.

"Bell bell bell! Bell bell bell! Soon after, just as he was about to get to work, the landline in his office rang.

"Comrade Manturov, Comrade Stalin told me to inform you to attend a meeting of the Supreme High Command in the Kremlin in one hour.

It's a very important meeting, and you have to be there. "It was Stalin's secretary Postekbeshev on the phone.

"Okay." Manturov put down the phone, told his secretary to get ready for the car, and left for the Kremlin in 45 minutes.

Previously, when Manturov was still the People's Commissar of Construction, he always had the habit of driving his own car. But now, as the workload becomes more and more heavy, and the physical strength is getting more and more tired, a driver is added to be responsible for driving, and his car has also changed from the previous ZIS two-seater sports car to the ZIS-101B four-seat luxury RV, which is no different from other central secretaries in terms of car and entourage arrangements, and finally has a bit of leadership (bureaucracy) style.

Manturov was a punctual man, but he was punctual and didn't want to wait, so he arrived at the Kremlin conference room at a very clever time, arriving 2 minutes early.

Stalin didn't talk nonsense either, and when everyone arrived, he began to get down to business: "Comrades, according to reliable intelligence, there has been some armed resistance in the occupied territories of Germany, and the people no longer have any unrealistic hopes for Hitler's Germany!"

The nationalists who had rebelled against Soviet rule and had tried to collude with the fascist bandits in order to gain independence had now lost all hope! They had come to understand the true intentions of the Germans - that is, to destroy their homeland, to take away their resources, to exterminate their people.

Not so long ago, a number of armed resistance groups in Poland, Lithuania, Western Ukraine sent us a plea to launch a counteroffensive as soon as possible to liberate the local people from the Germans.

To this end, I asked the General Staff to draw up a plan for the counteroffensive, and asked Comrade Zhukov to introduce it to us. ”
