"Comrade Chernenko, I understand your feelings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info I don't agree with some of your approaches, and for a long time, we can be considered opposites! However, a person's destiny is, of course, a test of self-struggle. But also take into account the course of history! I am a KGB, and under the users of my comrades, I was chosen to lead the country. When the tide was set, Serov did not show the joy of the victors, which he deserved.

How much did he prepare for this day? There were so many ways to prepare that he couldn't remember it clearly, so much so that just when he was voting, he remembered a nail he had buried before, but well, he didn't need it, and no one would find out......

A little later, the Soviet evening news and TASS began to report the news of Andropov's death due to worsening kidney disease. It was the evening of February 10, and after more than a year, the second general secretary of the Soviet Union had died of illness.

"I'm a little reluctant to be here!" Almost every day, Serov would stand by the window for a while, looking at the back of the bronze statue of Dzerzhinsky in front of him, as if trying to draw energy from this majestic back. But there is not a day when he is so dazed as he is today, and almost every day, he imagines what it would be like if one day he commanded the whole country in the Kremlin.

But when the time came, Serov's heart also rose in a mood that was nothing more than that, and he seemed to have lost his goal all of a sudden.

"Isn't it empty? It's been 30 years, when did we meet? 1953, right? General Alexei of the GRU touched his gray hair and said, "I didn't expect you to really succeed, it's incredible." ”

"Today's KGB has long surpassed the strength of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, the main thing is that I'm not in a hurry! Serov looked at his old friend and said, "Give Beria thirty years, and he will be able to do it." But he had to do it in three months, he chose that path by himself. ”

"You won, everything you say makes sense, I'm back to GRU, it's not until the end. I'm going to watch it for you! Alexei waved his hand to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Goodbye, General Secretary......"

"All men are created equal, regardless of whether they are high or low." Serov again looked at Dzerzhinsky's back in the light and asked, "Is that so, Comrade Dzerzhinsky?" I want to protect the idea of equality, which is more difficult than protecting the USSR. ”

Early the next morning, Andropov's coffin was transported to Moscow, where it was greeted by all members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. Each wore a red armband around their left arm as a tribute to the previous general secretary. Unlike a year ago, Chernenko, as second secretary, was still in second place, and Serov, as chairman of the KGB, became the leader of the group......

The Soviet Union established four days of mourning for Andropov, and mourners slowly walked to Andropov's coffin with black veils wrapped in chandeliers in the stairwell of the Union building. On the stage to the left of the building's "Pillar Hall", among the flowers, an orchestra in black tuxedos plays classical music. Andropov's body lay in a coffin filled with carnations and the lid open, dressed in a black suit, a white shirt and a tie with red and black stripes. Red roses and tulips face the long line of mourners. On the right side of the hall, the family of the leaders sat on chairs, and his wife, Tatyana? Lebedeva wore a large hairpin with her red hair and sat with her two children, Igor and Elena.

Serov, dressed in a gray military coat, took his family and stepped forward to give a hug to Andropov's widow after the memorial, and the scene was clearly broadcast around the world through the television set. Compared with all the previous general secretaries, the blue-brimmed hat on his head stood out, a sign of anti-rebel workers.

"I hope my brother and sister don't get caught up in grief, we still have a long way to go." Yulia stretched out her white little hand, shook hands with Andropov's son and daughter, and said coldly.

This is obviously my line, this daughter is really uncomfortable, and my wife has just stopped a little when she is older......

Four days later, the funeral began. Two officers led the funeral procession with a large portrait of Andropov, followed by a large number of garlands. Officers in sheepskin caps appeared with twenty-one medals and medals in small red boxes. They were followed by an olive-green gun carriage carrying the coffin, with a gun on the coffin, behind which Andropov's family walked. The leaders of the Politburo all wore the same fur hats, similar fur coats, and red armbands on their sleeves, making it almost impossible to distinguish the identity of each one. The leaders led the official condolence procession at the end. When the coffin arrived in the center of Red Square, it was unloaded from the car and placed on the red coffin bed facing Lenin's tomb with the lid open. After a speech, the military and political leaders on the viewing platform of Lenin's tomb carried Andropov's coffin to the cemetery behind Lenin's tomb.

The coffin was lowered into the tomb amid the shrill gasps of mourning bugles, whistles and gun salutes. All members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR shook hands with the guests attending the funeral, and then the plenary session of the Central Committee was held, and Serov officially assumed the post of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Chairman of the National Defense Committee, and Chairman of the National Security Committee. At the same time, Serov nominated Chernenko for the post of chairman of the Supreme Soviet, which was approved by all members of the Central Committee, and the USSR officially welcomed another general secretary.

"We must say that last year has been a difficult time for our country and for our party. Comrade Brezhnev and Comrade Andropov left us one after another. Each generation of leaders has its own mission, the great Lenin shaped our country, and General Secretary Stalin, with his steely style, made our country grow stronger. First Secretary Khrushchev, who led us through the difficult post-war period, and under the term of General Secretary Brezhnev, the USSR had completely become a decisive force in the world. General Secretary Andropov, let's rediscover our pragmatic attitude. Serov, who officially became the general secretary, silently said to all the committee members on the rostrum, "Today, the eyes of the party, the state, and the people have once again gathered on us. They wonder if today's Communist Party of the Soviet Union is not the spokesman of the working class, the proletariat. ”

The entire auditorium was extremely silent, and the members of the Central Committee attending the meeting were silent, and no one dared to take a nap at this time. Since Stalin, no one wore a military uniform at such meetings, and now, a second has appeared. The iconic blue hat made everyone dare not slack off, for fear of being seen by the general secretary who was born in the anti-rebellion work.

"Of course, all men are created equal! Some of the enemies, both internal and external, slept every day hoping that something would happen to the Soviet Union. These bedbugs hiding in the corners are just performing a dream-like curse, and they can't change the world. All must believe that the Soviet Union, from its inception to the present, was greater than all the countries of its time, and if you doubt this, you are not a Soviet, not a real Communist. After saying this, Serov raised his head slightly, looked around the auditorium carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Proletarians of the whole world, unite ......"

"Proletarians of the world, unite." More than 200 members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union all stood up, raised their right hands into fists and swore an oath, "Proletarians of the whole world, unite and ......"

"Proletarians of the world, unite!" Valya raised her fist and looked at her husband on the rostrum, looking at each other, both of them saw a different color in each other's gaze, and the two had gone through thirty years.

In the villa on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, Yelena, Isemotny, and Lukani looked at the men on TV affectionately, their expressions were full of pride, and behind the women, their children were also infected by this atmosphere.

In London, England, Los Angeles, USA, at the same time, two women with outstanding temperament were leisurely watching TV, not knowing what they were thinking, and finally sighed deeply.

The media of various countries, which closely followed the Soviet television station, analyzed the general secretary of the new generation of the Soviet Union for the first time. Because this general secretary has been the chairman of the KGB for almost two decades before coming to power. Therefore, it is very mysterious among the people of all European and American countries.

Moscow had not even finished the plenum of the Central Committee, and all kinds of predictions about the future policy of the Soviet Union were flooded. But most of the forecasts are pessimistic, because Serov has long been an iconic figure of Soviet hardliners. Much of the Soviet expansionist policy was formulated in his hands. Such a person became the leader of the Soviet Union, which is really not a good thing for the countries of these opposing camps......

In London, the capital of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, who was trying her best to fight against the British CGT, looked at Serov's speech in the auditorium of the Soviet Kremlin with great headaches, and commented in a low voice, "This is a dangerous enemy!" ”

Of all the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, this KGB chairman had the most obvious hostility towards the West. And it seems that this enemy is still the youngest of the other group, so it seems that NATO will have to face this enemy for a long time.

"Isn't that great? Use our economic superiority to bring down the USSR! President Reagan said to Secretary of Defense Weinberg and CIA Director Casey, "We have to believe that the Soviet Union is much more powerful than the Soviet Union because of its cost disadvantage as a cold zone!" ”

"Our country is much stronger than the United States, and any country that challenges us is doomed to failure!" Serov, in the name of the General Secretary, shouted, "We will defeat one enemy after another, going from one victory to another." ”
