Chapter 657: European Order
"General Political Commissar Serov, Moscow Telegraph. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info"While the two men were waiting for the aid to arrive, a GRU of the rank of major summoned Serov and said that a telegram from Moscow was going to be handed to him.
"Cipher telegram?" Serov finally translated it after a long time, his face changed color instantly, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee Yegorechev was dismissed, and the new first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee was Grishin? Stabilize his mood and ask in a flat tone, "What is Comrade Sherepin, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, doing?" ”
This is impossible, Sherepin is in Moscow, how can it be possible for Yegorechev to be dismissed. Did Sherepin not stop it, or did he think that the position of first secretary of the Moscow city party committee was not important. Within two years, Leningrad and Moscow, the two largest cities of the Soviet Union, were lost one after another, and this loss was too great.
"The General Political Commissar, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet was hospitalized with appendicitis and did not attend the meeting." The Major said cautiously.
"......Shhh It's okay. Serov waved his hand to let the other party out, covering his head with both hands, and the whole person looked like he was being beaten and was squatting on the ground and hugging his head and crying, which was very unlucky. In his absence, and Sherepin was hospitalized for appendicitis, the meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee of course could pass a resolution at will and find an excuse to dismiss Yegorechev, and a member of the Central Committee on the other side could not resist at all.
"Think there's nothing I can do? I know how many mistresses Grischen has, and he can't stand in my way. For a long time, Serov got rid of the state of hugging his head and crying and comforted himself, but having said that, he still felt that Shelepin's luck was too bad, or that Shelepin's group was too unlucky.
"This old fox is too cunning, he often takes me abroad, he simply wants to transfer me, if I am in Moscow, even if Sherepin is hospitalized, it will not be so easy for the meeting to pass, I will delay it for a few days and wait for Sherepin to come back, and this proposal will be lost." Serov felt more and more that his ideas made sense, and Brezhnev was waiting there, and as long as he did not watch out for any of his side, he would find a loophole.
At this point, he didn't have much to do, but he had already left, and the current first secretary of Leningrad, Romanov, and the first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee, Grishin, had replaced Shelepin's two friends, but both Serov knew each other and would not hinder themselves.
"Serov, it's okay, I also just got the news that Comrade Yegorechev is transferred, I hope you don't have emotions, from the perspective of a friend, I hope you can accept it." Andropov came later, apparently already knowing about Moscow, specially came to comfort Serov?
No, Serov can clearly perceive that the other party is not simply comforting himself, but has another meaning, wooing! So he replied, "I have accepted it, after all, it is the decision of the central government." ”
Lately, Serov has always felt that his perception seems to be inaccurate, and it is not yet 1973, is Andropov unable to control his political ambitions now? The other party's purpose is obviously similar to his own, and he consciously has a good relationship with the leaders of major departments, especially Ustinov and Gromyko.
But what if I support you? You are sick in your body and simply can't sit for a couple of years General Secretary, if I'm not mistaken, Andropov died two years after Brezhnev's death and couldn't do anything at all.
No, maybe it's better, when Andropov dies, it seems that he has no enemies, none of the remaining members of the Dnipro gang are in good health, and the youngest Serbitsky does not live long. Not his own opponent at all, Serov's biggest problem at the moment is not to be replaced after the death of Brezhnev in power. Thinking about it this way, Andropov should be supported, the other party will not live long anyway......
"I think, as a friend, I want to go back and comfort Egorechev." Serov also showed his disappointment in due course, hoping that he could return to China as soon as possible, Andropov thought for a while and nodded, and expressed his willingness to help communicate with Moscow, so that Serov returned to Moscow a week after Brezhnev returned home, and Andropov continued to complete the rest of the preparations in Chile, and the Red Navy did not come back to Chile. At the time of the Hungarian incident, he had seen firsthand what it was like for a country to collapse, and he was as careful as Serov was about it.
"It's a pity that this is the result." Serov's tone was very low, and he didn't know how to comfort his friend.
On the contrary, Yegorechev was more indifferent, as if he was not affected by the dismissal, and said to himself, "You are right, Brezhnev is hostile to us Komsomol cadres, and for the time being, he has nothing to do with you and Shurik." But you have to be careful, the organization is in his hands, and Shurik has to be careful. The age of the two of you is a big threat to him. ”
Yegorechev was still very happy that Serov had come back from Latin America, and he greeted his newly married daughter and son-in-law home, and prepared a meal to greet his friends with a smile, and in a few days he was going abroad as an ambassador. The location is Denmark, a small and wealthy country.
If you think about it from another perspective, Serov believes that he will never be able to live up to Yegorechev's open-mindedness, Moscow's political status is very important, as the first secretary of the municipal party committee, he can almost say that his political status is higher than that of Semichasny, he is the member of the Central Committee with the most voice to enter the Presidium of the Central Committee, he has the second largest political prestige and gathering power in the Sherepin group, and he can even be said to be Brezhnev's political opponent, but now everything is over.
"I'm a person who fought in the Great Patriotic War, and those who have been on the battlefield may be more open-minded, but you're different, and Shurik is the same, neither of you has ever been in the army, and it takes a long time to recover from such a situation." After eating, Yegorechev sent Serov out and said, "Be careful, as long as you and Shurik don't lose." ”
"You're really open-minded!" Serov shook his head and looked at the other party standing at the door, he could guess a little about what Yegorechev meant, suspecting that he was being watched by agents. As soon as Sherepin was hospitalized, the Presidium of the Central Committee immediately passed a resolution, it was impossible without conclusive intelligence, and Yegorechev suspected that he himself was being followed.
"It's nothing, Brezhnev is a relatively gentle person, and he also gave my daughter a house." Yegorechev showed a smile, as if he was a little interested, and said, "He used this house to exchange the position of the first secretary of my municipal party committee. ”
Before Serov returned, Brezhnev personally called the dismissed Egorechev: "I'm sorry to make such a result...... Do you have any questions, family problems or other problems? Yegorechev mentioned that his daughter had just been married and did not have a house. Within a few days, the newlywed family got a house.
"A house in Moscow can replace the position of the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, is the Soviet Union too incorruptible, or have these cadres not seen the market?" Serov, who left Yegorechev's house, strolled down the streets, and he was surprised by the corruption of 200,000 rubles by the first secretary of the city party committee in Azerbaijan during the last investigation. Could it be that the corrupt officials reported in his later generations were too bold, so he felt that the Soviet cadres were incorruptible?
"Don't you feel like a failure?" Alexei stroked his gray hair, "Do you still think our minister made a mistake?" You are already the largest security cadre in the country, and you are still a member of the General Political Commissar, the National Defense Commissioner, and the Presidium of the Central Committee. ”
"Go aside, let me lie down for a while." Serov, who was standing on the couch, had an impatient tone, this old friend had been getting more and more annoying lately, and had come to his house from the GRU headquarters, which had not been out for a month, to mock him.
"Now I know that it is difficult to do, when you are facing the resistance of most people, things are not specially easy to do, or that sentence, as the second person, the strength is too strong, and the number one person is easy to find someone who wants to take your place to deal with you, and Xie Lepin is in this position." Alex Shiran lit a cigarette and said a few words, "This is the file of the new commander of the Kremlin garrison, I hope you will use it when the time comes, how can you be a security cadre for so many years, I won't remind you to burn the ...... after reading it"
"I'm not prepared for anything, it's bad for the country." Serov pouted, "Can the internal guard in Moscow deal with the surrounding armies?" Not necessarily. Since you can't deal with it, you don't have to fight hard. ”
"I don't want to do anything either, but it's a good thing to win you over, you will be killed suddenly like our minister." Alexei shrugged and said, "Your KGB has a special group to monitor Shelepin and Shemychasny, I have found this group, I will slowly paralyze them, you and I are not worried, as for the others, I see danger." ”
"Isn't that what you're doing! With you, a veteran spy leader, what am I afraid of? ”
"Are you scolding me? I can turn down a lot of trouble for you. Alexei shook his head slightly, "But this can't feed the Caspian Tiger probably won't thank me, sometimes I really think I'm not looking at the wrong person." ”
After the dismissal of Yegorechev, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. At the meeting held in Helsinki, the United States and the Soviet Union reached a compromise and agreed that the OSCE and the Conference on Balanced Disarmament in Europe would be held at about the same time.
The Soviet Union tried to take advantage of the desire of European countries for peace and security, and through the conference, it confirmed that the post-war European borders were favorable to the Soviet Union, consolidated its position in Eastern Europe, and divided the relations between Western European countries and the United States. The intention of the United States was to limit the further expansion of the Soviet Union and at the same time to infiltrate Eastern Europe. To varying degrees, European countries are trying to take advantage of the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union to improve their own situation.
As soon as the last step was completed, Brezhnev was ready to free up his hands to officially attack, and the relevant plans had already been drawn up. However, after he returned, he postponed the plan again, "After I visit the United States, I will start the plan for Thailand and Congo, Yura, you can go with me." (To be continued.) )
