"General Secretary, isn't it a little too rash!" The first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Serbitsky, was taken aback when he received the news, and hurriedly dialed Brezhnev's phone and said, "How can Kirilenko's son become a traitor after so many years of abbot focusing on the development of the industrial sector?" Could it have been the KGB? ”

"Yura had just arrived in Azerbaijan and there was no chance to intervene at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And it's not his son, it's his son-in-law, I made a mistake when I was angry. Brezhnev replied slowly, apparently not wanting to dwell on the subject.

Hearing this, Serbitsky's heart sank, Brezhnev was able to mistake his son and son-in-law. Does this mean that the general secretary is in poor health? Immediately said, "I am going to Moscow, by the way to visit the general secretary, I hope the general secretary will also take care of his health, our motherland is thriving, only you can lead us to the final victory." ”

"Thank you, Vladimir!" Brezhnev sighed and thanked, "Things are well done in Ukraine." ”

After some encouragement, Brezhnev hung up the phone and fell silent again. Or in the memory, he regretted taking Kirilenko in his heart, but he had to do it. The fact that the relatives of an important cadre are treasonous, even if they are suspected, is a big deal in the Soviet Union. The chairman of the KGB and the marshals of the military were all dismissed directly because of the outbreak of such a thing. Traitors are absolutely not allowed in the country of the USSR.

As Brezhnev said, as soon as Serov returned to the Lubyanka, he knew about it. The matter of Kirilenko's son-in-law was enough to deal a fatal blow to Kirilenko. Not to mention dismissal, direct expulsion from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, revocation of all medals for service to the country, and suspension of pensions will not be objected to.

The members of the Presidium of the Central Committee were no more immune than the former chairman of the KGB and the marshal of the military. Brezhnev dealt with Kirilenko first, and he could also give his old subordinates a step, at least Kirilenko would not go to jail.

The first chairman of the KGB, General Serov, was under surveillance all his life, and the implicated marshals were treated the same. Originally, Khrushchev was going to convene a meeting to withdraw the rank of marshal and the medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union, and retire directly in accordance with the treatment of a major general, but if he went to Kirilenko, he would not even be dismissed, and it would have done too much harm to the country.

Thinking of this, Brezhnev thought of his own pair of unsuccessful sons and daughters, when his son almost fell into the trap of the British MI6 in Sweden, or Serov found out and launched revenge on MI6. And his daughter is very similar to herself, that is, she loves to drink very much, if it weren't for her son-in-law's obedientness, he wouldn't know what to do.

"General Secretary, it's time to rest." Nurse Nina walked in with a smile and whispered, "If you maintain healthy habits, you will live a long life, and your work will be very meaningful." ”

"In the hands of different people, the energy of a department is so different." When Serov heard the news of Kirilenko's resignation due to health reasons, the first thing he thought of was Andropov and the Central Supervisory Commission he now leads, and the Party and State Supervisory Commissions during the Sherepin period were a great shock to the Soviet cadres. Later, although the Central Supervision Commission was reorganized, its powers were reduced, but now in the hands of Andropov, this department has shown a terrible side, and Andropov is completely used as a KGB.

When the news came, Serov immediately decided to continue entertaining guests and continue to talk and laugh with his two neighbors in the south of the Soviet Union, and the timing in Moscow was too sensitive for him to go back now.

What surprised Serov the most, of course, was Andropov's methods, which were really surprising. As soon as this expert who played dead made a move, he directly abolished Brezhnev's deputy. And more than a year before history. Come to think of it, it seems that there is a credit for this, and the people who were supposed to spy on Andropov in history are now all focused on themselves and watching themselves.

Serov, who led the KGB, attracted all the firepower, which was equivalent to liberating Andropov. Andropov, who was on the side, seized the opportunity to kill Kirilenko. Since the founding of the Soviet Union, there has been zero tolerance for traitors, otherwise the KGB would not have had its ups and downs but it has always existed, because the Soviet Union needs such a department. It's so clever to make a fuss about a possible mutiny.

Serov spent another half a month in Baku, ascertaining the news from Moscow and knowing that the matter had passed. Just began to board the train back to Moscow, and the fact was that Kirilenko had always considered Serov, the last giant of the Komsomol, to be a great threat to himself and the entire Dnipro gang. has been guarding against Serov against him, but Andropov, who was watching the battle from the side, found an opportunity to kill him instantly.

"Why do you think you are doing this? No wonder you were defeated at the hands of Andropov in history. Looking at the Komsomolskaya Pravda's understatement of Kirilenko's dismissal, Serov sighed for a long time. Andropov changed a department head, no longer the chairman of the KGB in history, but also picked up Kirilenko, is this fate?

Serov did not sympathize with the fate of Kirilenko, who let this guy always have nothing to do to chase himself to bite. As a result, he was killed by his own natural enemies by the same means. However, Andropov's move also shocked himself, if he didn't know that Andropov would definitely not live long, he would now want to hug Brezhnev's thigh immediately. This secretary of the Central Committee is too dangerous, he will kill him in seconds if he shoots quietly, and it is also dangerous for him to live a few more years.

After the killing of Kirilenko, among the secretaries of the Central Committee, Andropov came in second to Suslov. Considering that the Gray Cardinal was also in equally poor health, Andropov was almost left with no opponents. Waiting for the day when Brezhnev died, the Soviet Union would naturally fall into his hands.

But then again, people are not as good as heaven! Taking the military coat handed over by Valya Jr., Serov knew that the train would soon arrive in Moscow, and before he returned, he had already received a notice to go to the Kremlin for a meeting.

This is a big deal about what happens to the position left behind by Kirilenko's departure. The Presidium of the Central Committee must discuss it, and the fact that the relatives of high-ranking cadres have happened is undoubtedly a huge scandal for the Presidium of the Central Committee.

"I propose that Comrade Tikhonov, First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, take over the post of a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, who has always assisted Comrade Kosygin in the work of the government, and has absolutely no problem in terms of ability." Brezhnev said slowly, "I wonder if other comrades have any opinions?" ”

"I agree!" Serov, who had just returned to Moscow, immediately showed his obligation to lift his phone. Regardless of the policy, he has not opposed it for more than a decade, but he usually only attends foreign policy meetings, which is still very rare, and the last time was when Sherepin and Brezhnev clashed.

From that time on, he generally did not attend meetings on domestic affairs. Of course, this is a sign of admitting defeat in Kirilenko's eyes, but now that Kirilenko is gone, who is the final winner? Thinking of this, Serov glanced at Andropov, and even this combination of Sima Yi and Tokugawa Ieyasu was only a temporary winner.

When Serov first expressed his position, the matter of the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers Tikhonov entering the Presidium of the Central Committee was decided, and Serov thought that this was the end, and at this time the second secretary Suslov slowly spoke, "Kirilenko's vacant position as secretary of the Central Committee also needs to be discussed." Our great motherland must be led by a trustworthy person, who must have the ability to resist the drunkenness of the West, and only such a person can ensure that the country does not deviate from the track. ”

Suslov's voice was not high, in fact he rarely expressed his opinion in the past few years, even when he was talking about such an important matter, his expression was still so wooden, as if he had already tuned the machine.

"I propose that the vacant post of secretary of the Central Committee in Kirilenko be filled by Comrade Serov, General Political Commissar for National Security and Chairman of the National Security Committee. Kirilenko's example comes first, reliability comes first. Suslov said with a blank look, while looking at the expressions of the other committee members, and said, "Do you think so?" ”

Brezhnev was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know if other people disagree, but if not, this matter is settled!" "Suslov communicated with Brezhnev about this matter, and the gap between the two is far from the power, and even Suslov's power is not as good as that of a member of an important department, but as an authority of thought, Suslov is an important signboard.

In the end, Brezhnev agreed, and it was he who asked his nurse Nina when he was thinking about the problem alone. At that time, Nina's answer was that the current Central Presidium had been running for more than ten years, so wasn't there no problem?

Nina's answer is a bit naïve, but there is also some truth, since there has been no problem, it shows that the current Presidium of the Central Committee is balanced, and will not destroy the balance just because Serov is the secretary of the Central Committee.

"Okay, then the appointment is approved!" Seeing that there was no opposition, Brezhnev made a decision directly. (To be continued.) )
