Chapter 57: A Chance Encounter in the Lobby

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Manturov returned to his Moscow hotel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, he saw a familiar figure.

A tall beauty in a black off-the-shoulder gown with delicate facial features stood not far in front of him.

Manturov took a closer look at the beautiful woman, and sure enough, it was his wife, Katya. She was talking to a man in a suit, and neither of them noticed Manturov's presence.

The man in the suit looked to be in his thirties, and his appearance, his body shape was also a bit familiar. Manturov always felt like he had seen him somewhere.

Manturov thought for a few seconds, and with his super memory, he was able to find information about this person from the hard drive in his head.

The medium-sized man in a gray suit was Nikolai Alexandrovich Mikhailov, the first secretary of the Soviet Communist Youth League from 1938 to 1952.

Like Manturov, he was elected a member of the Central Committee in the recent elections to the 18th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Soon he was elected a member of the Organizational Bureau of the CPSU.

In appearance, he is still very young, indeed, he is very young, he became the first secretary of the Communist Youth League at the age of 32, and he will be elected as a member of the Organization Bureau. Such a person should have great potential, but neither in that parallel universe nor in the world we live in, history has not chosen him.

He held the position of the first secretary of the Communist Youth League for more than ten years until 1952. Later, he briefly served as secretary of the Central Committee, which was the pinnacle of his life.

Since then, he has spent his career in the ordinary, first demoted to the position of Soviet ambassador to Poland, and then has held a number of inconspicuous positions, such as secretary of the Moscow regional party committee, minister of culture of the Soviet Union, head of party propaganda, etc. Therefore, it is difficult for you to find Chinese historical materials about him on Chinese websites.

However, this is more than a decade later, and at least for now, Mikhailov's position in the party is still slightly higher than that of Manturov. At a young age, he still has a good appearance and a high status, and with such conditions, he can definitely soak any young girl's paper, so it aroused Manturov's jealousy.

Manturov silently stepped forward, saw the expressions of the two men clearly, and eavesdropped on what they were saying.

"Katia, you're beautiful." This was the first thing Manturov heard, from Mikhailov's mouth.

After hearing this, Katia smiled both reservedly and elegantly, "Really? ”

"Yes, Katya, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Mikhailov's eyes were fixed on Katya's face, which was so beautiful that even the angels would be jealous.

"it!" Manturov thought to himself, "This is the rhythm of soaking my wife!" ”

Apparently, he was jealous. Katia has never dressed so beautifully and so sexy in front of her husband, but in front of Mikhailov, she actually put on an off-the-shoulder dress, revealing a perfect jade back, and exuding a noble temperament, which made all the men she saw fall in love with her.

Manturov, full of jealousy, secretly said in his heart: "No! Katyusha is mine! I can't let Mikhailov get his way. I want to declare sovereignty! Katia Klimena Manturovna is my inherent wife! It's an integral part of my family.

From both a historical and a legal point of view, Katia is my inherent wife, over whom I have indisputable sovereignty. ”

Without hesitation, he stepped forward, put his arms around Katya's waist roughly, kissed her forcibly, and said, "Honey, I want to kill you!" ”

"I think this should be Comrade Manturov, I saw you at the 18th National Congress." Mikhailov quickly recognized the young commissar of the Central Committee.

Manturov put his left hand around Katya's thin waist, and his right hand reached out and made a handshake gesture, "That's right, it's me." I think you should be Comrade Mikhailov, the first secretary of the Komsomol. ”

Mikhailov warmly shook Manturov's right hand, and in his opinion, the secretary of the state party committee, who was praised by Stalin in public (without naming names) at the plenum of the Central Committee, was worthy of friendship: "That's right, I am Nikolai Aleksandrovich Mikhailov." You are so blessed to be able to marry such a beautiful woman back home. ”

In Manturov's view, Mikhailov has long known that Katya's sovereignty belongs to him, but this does not mean that he admits that he will not challenge Manturov's sovereignty.

Mikhailov said just now that Katya was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. As a man of high power and Katya's immediate boss, he already has enough strength to stand up to Manturov.

Such a beautiful woman, such a sexy woman, such a noble woman, what man does not want? What can't a man do in order to get a woman? In the past, there were Zhou Youwang Fenghuo Opera princes, now there is Stalin's secret meeting Davydova, and in the future, there will be Andropov who will abandon his wife and children, in short, any man can do anything to win his beloved woman.

"Now, I feel quite happy, but I don't know how long this situation will last." There was something extraneous to what Manturov said, and Katia knew what he meant when she heard it.

Fortunately, Mikhailov didn't hear this extraneous sound, but in fact, he didn't mean anything to Katya, and he didn't know that the other party was mocking him.

"Comrade Manturov, you became secretary of the state party committee at a young age and were also elected as a member of the Central Committee." Mikhailov looked Manturov up and down and said, "And you are handsome and gentle, how can anyone spoil the relationship between the two of you?" ”

"Hopefully."

Mikhailov looked at his watch and said goodbye: "It's not early now, it's time for me to go back and rest, and the two of you talk slowly." ”

Seeing Mikhailov walking away, Katya said to her husband: "Vorodya, were you jealous just now?" ”

"Where...... Yes? ”

"Don't hide it from me, you just looked like you were jealous, you were worried that I would cheat and go with Comrade Mikhailov, right?"

"Yes, you're so well-dressed in front of him, but you've never been so dressed in front of me. Are you trying to seduce him? ”

Katya smiled and explained, "Vorodya, you misunderstood. Today our Komsomol held a ball in the Moscow hotel, and I had to attend, of course, in a dress, otherwise it would be rude. ”

Wearing a tuxedo to a prom? This seems to be something that only happened in the Western capitalist countries, or in the era of Tsarist Russia. However, in the 1930s, when Stalin began to engage in material life, similar activities appeared, but they were not widespread.

As for the popularization of dance, it is thanks to Marshal Voroshilov.

During his tenure as Minister of National Defense, Fu Shuai visited abroad several times and was infected by the dance culture in the armies of Western countries. He found that at people's receptions, he felt embarrassed and overwhelmed if he didn't know anything about any dance moves, and almost no officer in a Western country could not dance.

After being infected by the dance culture of the West, Voroshilov brought it back to China and promoted it in all officers' clubs. The officers were given European popular dance steps, which became popular in the army, and this was Voroshilov's greatest contribution to the Soviet defense system.

Subsequently, from the 1930s onwards, this dance culture began to spread to many party and government institutions in the Soviet Union, including the Komsomol, and the main ship of the ball became part of the social life of Soviet party and government personnel.

However, this culture did not have much influence on Novosibirsk, and as a dead house, Manturov, the former first secretary of the Komsomol of the Novosibirsk region and the current secretary of the state party committee, had no interest in these social activities with bourgeois characteristics and did not contribute much to the country's hard power. In its place, there was a large number of military training activities in preparation for future wars.

While Komsomol cadres from other places danced in dance halls, Komsomol members from Novosibirsk played with guns at the shooting range or trained in combat skills in a vast playground. Because Manturov knew that the war would break out in a few years, and these young men would become new recruits on the battlefield, it was important to train them as early as possible to prepare for the war in the near future.

And Katya, as the daughter of Fu Shuai, took over the post of secretary of the state Communist Youth League, and did not bring the culture of the ball, but continued Manturov's military training policy and increased the number and projects of military training.

"No, such an event is really too bourgeoisie, when I was the secretary of the Communist Youth League, although I was invited, I never attended half of it." Manturov looked at Katya's luxurious dress with bourgeois characteristics and said in a disdainful tone. He was half drunk at his father-in-law's house, and he didn't give his wife any face.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking. It's getting late, I'm going back now. ”

"No, you can't go back, since you're here, then come with me to a place with a high degree of privacy and have a good talk." This phrase Manturov said was actually learned from Stalin. In a similar vein, Stalin tricked the opera actress Vera Davydova into her bed.

For some reason, Manturov, after listening to the marshal's encouraging words in the steam room, began to grow bold. Half-drunk, he had almost lost his original sanity, and did not think that his similar plan to Stalin might cause his wife to resent him.

"Where?"

Manturov didn't respond in a word, he dragged Katya's hand tightly and walked in the direction of the elevator lobby.
