Chapter 244: The Same City

It can be said that except for Serov, the five scum of the war, these local hairies have a good amount of wine. It's just that it is not usually revealed, "We, the eagle of the Komsomol, will surely soar in the sky of the Soviets, Ula!" Drink ...... all the vodka on the table was at the bottom, and everyone followed Sherepin into the study upstairs, and the messy table in the hall was left to the women, except for Sherlo and his wife.

Serov's explanation for this was that my wife, who was in good health, was pregnant again at this time. Why do you say again? If possible, he didn't want to bring the word again, but unfortunately it was too late, and the sentence caused a lot of laughter.

It's not the first time that everyone in this study has come here, but this time there is one less friend who often appears here, and Tikunov, who left Moscow and entered the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, is very eager to do something.

Everyone got drunk and did their jobs, and for a long time these people looked to Serepin as the leader, and this tradition continued after Semychasny took over as first secretary of the Komsomol. It is precisely because of this habit of meeting with Sherepin that Brezhnev's conspiracy theory that the Komsomol wants to seize power in history will have such a market.

In terms of work, Meshatsev and Goryunov were far less comfortable working than the others, because they each had a first secretary above them, which made their administrative leaders somewhat unworthy of their name. The head of both of them was the head of Khrushchev's arrangement, and the head of the propaganda department was the gray cardinal Suslov, and it is conceivable that the two young cadres who seemed to be more beautiful were not so glamorous in the propaganda system.

"The orders of Comrade Suslov often bezzle us, he does not allow us to express a little dissent in this regard!" Mechatsev said in a very depressed tone, which also aroused the consent of Goryunov, who also worked in the propaganda system, and he felt the words of his companions.

"There was no way either, even my work in the Komsomol was influenced by Suslov." Shemichasny sighed. Suslov appeared more in the guise of a thinker. No matter what level of cadres they have, they all have a sense of fear of Suslov, and although it is difficult for his work and rights to penetrate from his own part, it is also difficult for others to infiltrate everything related to Suslov's scope of work. It's not that Suslov's subordinates and forces are strong, but that Suslov's sense of oppression comes from himself.

This is known not only to cadres like Semychasny and Suslov, but also to Yegorechev, who connected Tivvetseva. But he knows that he can't solve this problem. I can only listen to the complaints of my friends, that's all.

"The most important person in our whole alliance, from beginning to end, there is only one person, and he is now the first secretary. What's more, the first secretary has so much trust in the old secretary, we have this kind of support, and sooner or later the old men who will take over the presidium of the Central Committee, why are they in such a hurry? "Serov has said more today than on any previous occasion, and is very similar to many royalists throughout history. At least he knew very well that once Brezhnev came to power, he would definitely not keep them in key positions, and although he had prepared a backhand, he didn't want them to be used.

"Yuri is right, we are on average seventeen years younger than the old men of the Central Presidium, and it is too early to discuss these things, as long as Shurik's journey is smooth, sooner or later the operation of this country will be supervised by us!" Egorechev nodded in agreement with Serov's opinion that everything was running smoothly in the current Soviet Union. All they need is to wait.

As a matter of fact, these people were among the youngest in the power structure of the Soviet Union. Together with the inclusion of Semychasny and Serov, the average age of the Sherepin group has once again been lowered. Compared with the members of the Central Presidium, it is completely two generations.

Everyone chatted and talked about work, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time, and the whole study was immersed in a relaxed atmosphere.

"My days in the National Security Council are short, and I will go to work in the Secretariat within this year." Sherepin finally remembered this. Eyes fell on Semychasny and Serov, "The first secretary asked me about the successor to the chairman of the National Security Committee, and the person I recommended was Semychasny!" ”

When he said this, Shelepin's eyes fell on Serov and said, "Yuri, I hope you will cooperate well with Vladimir's work." You were the best fit, and you've been working in security systems for a long time. Everyone here knows your talent in this area, and the reason why Semychasny was appointed chairman is because of age, when I was chairman of the National Security Council, because of age, I was already criticized, and among our friends, you and Vladimir were the only ones who worked in the security system, you are nine years younger than me, three years younger than Vladimir. If you are asked to be the chairman of the National Security Council, I am not worried about the internal dissatisfaction of the National Security Council, but there may not be a single one in other departments who can recognize it, and there is no problem with Vladimir, after all, he is the first secretary of the Komsomol......"

"No problem, but once again under the command of Vladimir, wasn't that the case in Azerbaijan?" Serov did not look depressed at all, and the historical Semichasny was originally to succeed Sherepin as chairman of the KGB, and he was not at all unconvinced by this. On the contrary, it is already good that Shelepin cares about his opinion.

"But I have a question, who will be the successor to the first secretary of the Communist Youth League? Old secretary, this position is too important! Serov turned to another question, "Before Vladimir leaves the Komsomol, the next first secretary must be selected, and we must not give up on the Komsomol side after operating for so long......"

It was such a big problem that even Semychasny fell silent, and he wanted to comfort Serov. Now it seems that Serov did not take it seriously at all, but he was concerned about the situation on his side. Yes, Shelepin and Semychasny served as the first secretary of the Komsomol one after another, and it would be a pity to lose this department, and a suitable person should be found to replace them.

"Give me half a year to investigate and come up with a trustworthy comrade to take my place!" Semychasny reassured Sherepin very seriously, and Semychasny also believed that the National Security Council was not his end. Like Shelepin, Shemychasny has his own goals.

What Sherepin is more worried about is the run-in between Semychasny and Serov, although the two have not cooperated, when he was in Azerbaijan, Semychasny was the second secretary, and Serov was the first secretary of the Communist Youth League. Later, Semychasny became the first secretary of Azerbaijan, and Serov entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then went abroad as an ambassador. It can't be said that the two of them haven't worked together, but this time of working together has only been a year at best, and now the identities of the two people are no longer the same, I don't know if they can work together.

"It's a big deal, I'll look at it more, Serov is often not in the country, and there shouldn't be a conflict with Semychasny! Besides, I can still watch from the middle......" Xie Lepin said secretly in his heart.

"Yuri's life is easier than ours, and Valya is there again? Your wife is so capable of giving birth? It's been less than a year, and I now doubt that your family is taking advantage of the policy loophole to slack off......" Egorechev suddenly remembered this, because the topic just now was a bit dull, so he talked about a light topic.

"Let's be reasonable, I can give birth!" Serov accepted the ridicule without hesitation, "Besides, I am the call of the corresponding country to make my own contribution to the population of the Soviets, and if I have one more child, the strength of our alliance will be greater in the future." ”

When everyone's drunkenness had almost been reduced, Sherepin called the driver of these people to come and pick them up, as for Serov, he didn't need it, the villa of the two was not far away, and Serov could go back on foot.

"From a professional point of view, Semychasny does not know as much about security work as you, in fact, he himself prefers to work in party affairs or government departments, originally we still have Tikunov has rich experience in security, but he has now gone to work in the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, and can only be replaced by Semychasny!" Sherepin also came out for a walk and chatted with Serov, who was returning home.

"I don't have any grievances, old secretary! I know where I'm off! Serov was not affected by the news at all, "Actually, I like the feeling of doing things by myself and someone behind me to close it!" ”

Sherepin's smile instantly stiffened a lot, and this sentence obviously meant that Serov liked to let others wipe their butts. As the leader of this kind of subordinates, Sherepin personally helped Serov with the aftermath many times, and now it seems that this role is Semychasny's turn, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.

In the same city there was a group of people who were talking about the same things as Sherepin had just talked about, and everyone had their own little circle, and in Brezhnev's dacha, his friends were also partying with him, including Ustinov, Gromyko, Andropov and Chernenko, as well as Brezhnev's old subordinates Tikhonov and Kirilyenko.

From the point of view of the Dnipro gangsters, Ustinov, Gromyko, and Andropov were not members of Brezhnev's coterie and did not come to Brezhnev's dacha very often, and Chernenko, Tikhonov, and Kirilenko were Brezhnev's old subordinates. (To be continued.) )
