"Yes, I did violate the safety regulations this time, and I must be responsible for the missile explosion, but I still have to thank you for saving my life, these are two problems!" Marshal Nedelin's snow-white hair was meticulously combed, and the dark blue marshal also looked very straight, and there was no feeling of being in a hurry at all.

Under normal circumstances, this momentum is quite intimidating, but as far as he knows, if he didn't happen to appear this time, the marshal in front of him would have a good result left, and in history, Marshal Negelin had no bones, only a marshal epaulette and a key that was burned and deformed. Who would be in awe of a bunch of unknown mixed objects? At least Serov wouldn't, Marshal Nederin was not stupid, of course he knew, but he was not captured by the soldiers ordered by Serov, and he must have been on the missing list where his body could not even be found.

"Now that Marshal Nederin knows his mistake, I have nothing to say, and from this day on all work within the scope of the Sixth Main Directorate of the KGB will not be subject to interference from the side of the Red Army. In terms of defending national security, the Red Army is still slightly unprofessional, and in order to avoid such things from happening in the future, I need to first obtain the understanding of the Ministry of Defense, which is my job, and the Ministry of Defense may not understand it very well! While writing the investigation report with a pen, Serov did not forget to vacate a signed note, which was to be signed by Marshal Nedelin.

Marshal Nederin now knows that the reason why he was captured by the KGB soldiers was entirely because of Serov's order, Marshal Nedelin, who had picked up an old life, and his bad feelings towards the General Directorate of Military Administration were quietly disappearing. For a person who has saved his life, it is difficult to feel bad again. Marshal Nederin was no exception to this.

Based on this mentality, there is now a situation in which Serov is packing up his work, while one of his marshals is watching from the sidelines. It was so simple, the Main Directorate of Military Administration was set up by Khrushchev. It's just that the director is him, and the hostility of those marshals of the Ministry of Defense towards the Third Directorate is inexplicable in itself. If Khrushchev wanted to disarm, he led the Third General Directorate to watch the disarmament of the Red Army, and if Khrushchev wanted to fight the Bonapartist elements, he led the KGB to clean up the generals who had befriended Marshal Zhukov. He was just an executor, and Khrushchev was the source of the problem.

Something about the explosion of an intercontinental missile at the Baikonur Space Center. It was transmitted to Moscow by telegram and wireless telegraph, because Khrushchev had not finished knocking on his shoes, and Brezhnev, who was in Moscow, became the commander-in-chief of the aftermath operation, and when he got the news of the explosion of an intercontinental missile, Brezhnev immediately found Sherepin, and the two arrived in Almaty by plane overnight, and arrived at the Baikonur Space Center early the next morning. Let Kamyagin protect the wounded, let Major General Kudryash collect the fragments of the missile, and himself mobilize the monitoring of the Baikonur space center, seal the surveillance as documentary evidence, and prepare to hand it over to Soviet rocket experts to start studying the improvement of the missile.

Soon, Serov was notified, and Brezhnev, who had been on the fly since the missile exploded, rushed to the Baikonur Space Center with Sherepin and asked Kamyagin to inform him of the news. Serov's expression was rather strange. Can these two people also appear together? But anyway, there's its own boss in it. The other is the deputy chairman of the Russian Federation, nominally Sherepin's power may be a little greater than that of Brezhnev, but he can't stand up to the old qualifications, and his resume in all aspects is very neat.

"What's going on, Yuri, you're on the spot. Tell the story in detail! "As soon as Sherepin met, he didn't go around in circles at all, and directly asked about the whole reason for the missile explosion. Brezhnev, on the other hand, first expressed concern for Marshal Nederin and Serov, and then expressed condolences to the rocket specialists who died as a result of the accident, and at the same time told Shelepin not to worry. The solution to the matter cannot be completed in an urgent manner, so you might as well sit down and discuss it first.

It's just that they just met, and the stark differences between the two people are clearly revealed, compared to the domineering Sherepin, Brezhnev's way of doing things is more acceptable, if Serov is not mistaken, he should be meeting Brezhnev for the first time, but Brezhnev's performance is not like this, no wonder Brezhnev quickly united most of the people later, and successively cleaned up Shelepin, Podgorny, Suslov and Kosygin one after another, this kind of wrist Sherepin really can't compare, Every time Brezhnev made a move, he assured himself that he was in an environment that was supported by the majority.

And in the seventies, when other leaders united to prepare a counterbalance to Brezhnev, they found that the marshals of the Ministry of Defense had already sided with Brezhnev, and the only KGB that could compete with the military, Chairman Semychasny, had already been replaced by Brezhnev.

Sherepin's judicial system, Suslov's propaganda department, Kosygin's government, and Podgorny's Ukrainian nativists, one by one, were captured by Brezhnev, and little by little they gathered Soviet power like a sausage. By the late seventies, Brezhnev had become the undisputed leader of the party and the state, and collective leadership was nothing more than empty talk.

Compared with Brezhnev, Sherepin not only did not feel that there was nothing wrong with being domineering, but on the contrary, he showed his strong side everywhere and became a victim of the first suppression by other leaders.

The more I thought about Serov, I felt as if I had stepped onto a thief ship, and the huge forces that Sherepin had worked so hard to pull up were not so large that people did not dare to resist, but because of his own personality problems, they quickly became a thorn in the side of other forces.

Serov has a clear judgment on the advantages and disadvantages of his ship, and the advantages and disadvantages have something in common, that is, the age of these people, with their age, can easily live to the year of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The advantage is that Khrushchev took a very high interest to these young cadres, and the disadvantage is that these young cadres are not qualified enough. If Khrushchev steps down according to the historical time, these young cadres of them will still be very dangerous.

Brezhnev did not have the embarrassment of meeting for the first time, although he was not good at words, but his attitude decided everything, when Brezhnev communicated with others, he was never domineering, but used the method of consultation to express that he could respect the opinions of others.

"Yefimovich, the explosion of the missile was undoubtedly a great tragedy, and the human losses caused by it were also painful for the entire Soviets, and I feel the same way. But the matter has passed, and our most important task is to solve the problem, not to be nostalgic for the past, and to recover the wounded as soon as possible, as for the problem of Marshal Nedelin, we will wait for the first secretary to come back and then say, okay! "After reading the entire investigation report handed over by Serov, Brezhnev did not say whether it was good or bad, but pushed the matter back and waited until Khrushchev came back to deal with it.

"Okay, Comrade Brezhnev, I personally have no objections and respect the decision of the Presidium of the Central Committee!" Serov dared to agree before Sherepin opened his mouth, if Serepin quarreled with Brezhnev because of the difference in handling methods, Serov was very optimistic about his boss, and he may have been persuaded by Brezhnev after some communication, and it was better to sell Brezhnev's face than this.

Brezhnev was also a little surprised by Serov's unusually good communication, Serov did not guess one thing, although Brezhnev only met Serov for the first time, but he had already heard of this main assistant of Serepin in the KGB. In fact, when Sherepin first joined the KGB, the news that he was going to merge and abolish many departments made the KGB people panic and attracted the attention of many cadres who were concerned about the work of the KGB, including Brezhnev.

But it is appropriate to describe things as a peak, but soon Sherepin dispelled the idea of abolishing the department, at this time Serov, who had just entered the KGB before Sherepin, surfaced, and under Serov's suggestion, the KGB not only did not merge a department, but on the contrary, almost every once in a while a new General Directorate was established, covering everything from internal and external, military communications, ideological and national defense, surveillance communications, and public security files, and after the merger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the strength of the KGB was almost close to the era when Beria was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The expansion of the KGB brought attention to the attention of this cadre, who was younger than Shelepin.

Serov was very closely guarded for his own files, but there was no way for the rank of a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and Brezhnev saw Serov's resume and saw the work trajectory of the KGB's evaluation of the most outstanding cadre of the past ten years. Before Khrushchev went to the United Nations to knock on his shoes, the meat problem in the Ryazan region broke out, and Serov, who had cleanly kicked the Ryazan region party committee, reappeared among the members of the Central Presidium.

At that meeting, Sherepin, who did not have the right to vote, did not mean to defend his department at all, but the recognition of the other two people surprised Brezhnev very much, one was Suslov, the secretary of the Central Committee, and the other was the only female member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Vetseva, Foltseva, Serov, who was not even thirty-five years old, could be recognized by Suslov, who had always been serious and rigid, which was the thing that Brezhnev couldn't figure out the most.

"You are a cadre who knows how to be flexible and share, no wonder many comrades recognize your achievements!" Brezhnev said something that Serov did not quite understand. (To be continued.) )
