"Volodya, have you eaten enough?" Looking at the empty plates on the dining table and the juicy corners of Manturov's mouth, Katia couldn't help but laugh. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's enough." For some reason, Manturov felt the special gravitational pull of Katya's beautiful eyes again, and unconsciously stared at those black pearl-like eyes.

Katia took out a tissue and carefully wiped the corners of her husband's mouth, "What are your arrangements for today?" ”

"What can be arranged? Go home. ”

"Coming home again? Since you were transferred to Moscow, we have spent almost every holiday at home. Since it's rare to have a day off, you should go out for a walk, is it interesting to stay at home like this? Although Katia was not satisfied with her husband's decision, she did not show the slightest disgust and continued to maintain that touching smile.

"Just kidding." Manturov smiled and asked: "I asked a friend to watch football today, are you interested?" ”

"Football?" Katia remembered the situation when the two of them went to watch a ball game before the crossing, "How many years have we not seen a ball?" ”

"It's been more than 20 years." Manturov was still staring at the black pearl-like eyes, "This afternoon, there will be a big battle at the Komsomol Stadium, Dynamo Moscow hosts Spartak Moscow, are you interested?" ”

"There is interest, but I still prefer CSKA Moscow. I heard that CSKA Moscow will meet the Samara Soviet Wing today, and Grigory Fedotov himself will go into battle, so let's go see it. ”

"I made an appointment with a friend today to meet at the Dynamo Stadium. In addition to watching football, we also discuss some important business. Besides, CSKA was on Friday, not today, there is only one game in Moscow today. Manturov looked at his wife with pleading eyes, hoping to get her approval.

"Alright then," said Katia, smiling, "since you two are discussing such an important matter, then I won't bother you." ”

"Don't do that." Manturov took Katya's jade hand, "He's your college classmate, and he wants to catch up with you by the way, so he bought us two tickets." Since the tickets are all bought, it seems a little inappropriate if you don't go.

Besides, CSKA Moscow games we can watch on Friday, and it's easy to buy tickets. But this Dynamo vs. Spartak tournament is not something you can watch if you want to see it. ”

At the time, the most popular team in Moscow was none other than Spartak Moscow. This team not only has outstanding strength, but also represents the broad masses of the working class, the team of the trade unions and the Communist Youth League.

And Dynamo Moscow was also one of the other strongest Soviet teams of the year. Behind this team is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which terrifies the Soviet people.

The reason why the Spartak football team was able to gain the most support was not only because of its trade union and Komsomol background, but also because it had the super strength to beat Dynamo Moscow on the field.

Every goal scored by Spartak was an opportunity for the oppressed masses to vent their dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the Spartak players put the ball into Dynamo's net, for those who were dissatisfied with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was like a hard blow to the internal affairs army, which was extremely painful.

The Dynamo Stadium is located at 36 Leningradskaya Street, although it is not part of the central district, just outside the 3rd Ring Road in Moscow. But for Manturov on Tverstrasse, it's an easy place to go.

Leningradskaya Street is an extension of Tverskaya Street, and you don't need to turn a corner at all to drive from the apartment at 8 Tverskaya Street.

At that time, there were no cars on the spacious Leningrad Street, and it could be described as unimpeded. Manturov's sports car sped away on straight, spacious streets and set a street speed record of 130 kilometers per hour, faster than Hitler's later speed of 100 kilometers per hour, but the traffic police did not do anything about it.

No way, who called him the vice premier, who called him the technology at that time not developed enough, and there was no powerful speed measurement equipment?

In just three minutes, Manturov arrived at the Dynamo Stadium outside the Third Ring Road in the heart of Moscow. The ZIS-101M sports car, which was avant-garde and high-performance, was parked on the side of the street near the stadium and attracted everyone's attention.

Manturov, as usual, wore a black suit and did not wear or carry anything related to any of the teams. However, some sharp-eyed Dynamo fans judged his identity from his red tie - a Spartak fan.

At that time, the Spartak logo was the same as it is now, mainly red, and the team's home jersey was also mainly red. Dynamo Moscow, on the other hand, is dominated by blue.

The blue color of Dynamo, in addition to the blue border that represents the Dynamo team crest, also represents the blue hats of the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And the red color of Spartak represents not only the red Komsomol, but also the fresh meat (behind the Spartak football team is the Komsomol and the trade union of the food processing industry).

As predicted by Dynamo fans, Manturov, who was born in the Komsomol group, really walked into the crowd of Spartak fans and was overwhelmed by the red sea of people.

"Vorodya," Manturov heard a familiar voice as he reached the door of the court.

"Igor," Manturov said, looking at his friend in a Spartak shirt, "we haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

Igor handed Manturov two tickets and said, "Why don't we go in and sit down?" You see so many people here, it's always not convenient to speak. ”

"Okay."

There were so many people watching this game that the stadium had 35,000 seats, but the entrance to the stadium was not large, and it was inevitable that it would be a little crowded, and it would be a little difficult to even take a breath and say a word.

After squeezing through, the situation is not much better. Standing in the open stands, although you can breathe free air, these airs are filled with the noise of fans on both sides.

Igor took Manturov and Katia to their reserved seats. There is no doubt that Manturov, the seat of the deputy prime minister, must be located in the area with the best view and the most comfortable environment on the side of the "Red Sea".

The people who can sit in this area are not ordinary fans, but members of some Soviet party and political system. Among them, the Komsomol cadres accounted for the majority, after all, Spartak was a team with a Komsomol background.

On the opposite side of the stands, on the side of the Dynamo fans, sitting in the corresponding area, are some interior department personnel wearing blue hats and military uniforms. Sitting in the center, surrounded by the NKVD, was the well-known NKVD - Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria.
