Chapter 149: The Hand of Death

This person who almost became Gorbachev's opponent in the future is now just a district party secretary, a horse boy under the first secretary of the Leningrad city party committee Tolskykov, if this group is headed by Sherepin, Serov may be ranked in the top ten, and the Romanovs in the top 100 may not have this person. If it is a little higher, after the collapse of the Sherepin group, Romanov will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being sent by Brezhnev to a certain country as an ambassador, and there is no chance of facing Gorbachev at all.

"Shurik, this time I came to Moscow to report to the first secretary about the situation in Leningrad, and by the way, we will reminisce about the past!" Tolskykov shouted Shelepin's nickname, and the two big men embraced each other without hesitation. Serov next to him was caught off guard and saw everything, and friends don't have to be like this when they meet! Fortunately, there was not a kiss from Brezhnev, so that people really couldn't stand it.

"Tolskykov, it's been a long time! Have a few drinks at my house tonight! For visitors from afar, Sherepin is also very happy, like ordinary Soviets, the most choking cigarette and the strongest vodka are Shelepin's favorite, this Serov is different from them, sleeping the most beautiful Mao Mei is what he pursues......

For a normal Soviet, a bottle of wine at home is indispensable, and the amount of alcohol is very good! The cold climate also makes these polar bears willing to take two sips of everything, and not everyone is a scumbag like Serov.

After a drink, he focused most of his attention on Romanov, who was the secretary of the district party committee under Tolskykov and seemed to be a major assistant! Gorbachev, on the other hand, is working as secretary of the Komsomol in the Krai, and the biggest leader is Semichasny, two people who are vying for the position of general secretary in the political and bureau more than 20 years later. It's just two small cadres! As for Yeltsin, I'm sorry that even Serov, the deputy chairman of the KGB, could not find him! Most likely, he has not yet joined the Communist Party......

"Shurik, I can't see you often in Leningrad, I don't know much about things here, is this Comrade Serov, the most outstanding cadre of our KGB for ten years?" Tolskykov took a closer look at Serov and suddenly smiled. "At first glance, it is our kind, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at the age!"

"Haha......" Tolskykov's words made Egorychev and Semychasny laugh at the same time.

"Being young is never a criterion to prove a person's ability, on the contrary, there are many people who only have the advantage of age, and they are like a zombie in their position!" Saying this, Serov raised his glass and paid his respects to the first secretary of the Leningrad city party committee......

"Well said!" Semychasny applauded Serov's remarks loudly, and the people here were young in the eyes of outsiders, even Tolskykov was a year younger than Shelepin. For example, Semychasny and Serov are both under the age of thirty-five, and they are the youngest two in the Sherepin group. Even the Romanovs on Tolskykov's side were older than the two of them.

With Shelepin's criteria for choosing friends, it is no wonder that Brezhnev only slightly let out a little rumor that the Komsomol was going to seize power, and immediately gathered to make everyone believe it! After all, it's nothing for the people who are with Xie Leping to pick out one alone, but if they stand together, they are all young people who are less than forty years old, and they are deeply afraid of anyone else.

But there is no way, Serov knows his boss's style. He likes to use people younger than himself, and he is not willing to deal with old-school cadres at all. My boss is this virtue, and no one can change it! You can only adapt to Shelepin. Except for Khrushchev, Sherepin will not accommodate other people's ideas, as a leader with character, Lao Tzu will do this, you scum better shut up.

Leningrad has always been an important political cradle on the political map of the Soviet Union. From Kirov to Zhdanov, Leningrad has come out of many Soviet bigwigs, and now the leader closest to Leningrad is Kosygin, the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Tolskykov came to Moscow this time. Tolskykov's goal was to be the secretary of the Leningrad State Party Committee, and he hoped to communicate with Sherepin first, get the former post of Kirov and Zhdanov, and if not the first secretary, he would first gain a firm foothold in the state party committee.

Sherepin didn't even hesitate, and directly stated that he could help Tolskykov. Sherepin never paid attention to this aspect, for the request of his friends! As long as you feel that your ability is enough, you are competent, and you have always had the attitude of helping.

Serov also established a good personal relationship with Romanov, in essence, the status gap between the two is relatively large, and Romanov instantly had a feeling that the deputy chairman of the KGB was not bad, and did not treat it as if he did not see it because his position was relatively low. Serov introduced Romanov to Semychasny again, one thing is certain: if the Sherepin clique had not been able to defeat the Brezhnev clique, the future Soviet political and political councillor would have fallen with them, and there would be no chance to compete with Gorbachev.

I don't know if this is good or bad for the Romanov, but Serov feels that it should be nothing, early failure and late failure are failures, rather than being silently forced to retire by Gorbachev, it is better to make a big news with Sherepin and them, even if it fails, it is a sensational event, it is better than obscurity.

For Serov's outstretched hand of death, Romanov, who was just the secretary of the district party committee, naturally grabbed it with gratitude. I hope that when the decisive battle between the Sherepin clique and the Brezhnev clique comes, the secretary of the district party committee must not be intimidated.

Tolskykov, Egorechev and Sherepin were talking about the specific problem of how to operate Leningrad, and Serov pulled Semychasny and Romanov to talk about some boring issues, of course, it was mainly Serov and Romanov who said that Semychasny was okay and just interjected, which was very much in line with Semychasny's character, and his attitude to doing things was greatly influenced by Shelepin, and it was better for Serov to dominate this relaxed atmosphere.

"I've always heard that the Caspian Tiger in the KGB was a terrible person, and now I know with my own eyes that it's a rumor!" Romanov's expression gradually relaxed, and he was able to joke with Serov!

Serov looked indifferent and said in a relaxed tone, "Comrade Romanov also said that it was a rumor, everyone has a misunderstanding of our KGB work, let alone killing, I have never even seen a dead person......"

"I'll go get a vodka!" Shemychasny suddenly stood up and said a word, and without hesitation went to Shelepin's side, pretending to be like this, he really took a glass of vodka and tasted it by himself, and he had no intention of coming back for a short time.

How did Yuri get involved in such an idealistic group? This is the question that Shemichasny has always wanted to figure out, let alone killing, I have never seen a single dead person! Your ass in the Caucasus is still wiped by me, the first secretary, and Semychasny feels that it is not good to hear Serov's words, and he is still deceiving his comrades in such a serious way.

"Vladimir the person is like that, we are all comrades, there is no distinction between superior and inferior! Comrade Romanov don't care! Serov turned a blind eye to Semychasny's displeasure and looked at Romanov with an unchanging smile. But judging from Serov's expression, it is the embodiment of the greatest, most glorious and correct side of the proletariat.

In a short time, the discussion between Tolskykov, Yegorechev and Sherepin was completed, and Tolskykov had no problem living here Sherepin, but he himself avoided the pretext of being attacked, and returned to live in a guest house in Moscow, where Tolskykov was going to walk around with the cadres of the Soviet departments in the coming days.

"We could have walked around a little bit more if we had the chance!" Serov held Romanov's hand and said modestly, giving the secretary of the district party committee extraordinary attention, this is the second time that Serov has extended the hand of death tonight.

After sending off Tolskykov, the first secretary of the Leningrad City Party Committee, Serov returned to Shelepin's villa, and he still had something to discuss with Shelepin, "This is an invitation letter from the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs to our KGB for a return visit, and I am preparing a reply to the Indonesian side!" At present, preparations are made to start preparing for the visit to Indonesia, but the time has not yet been determined! Serov handed the invitation to Sherepin directly in front of Semychasny and Egorechev, who, although not from the KGB, were definitely trustworthy and did not have to be afraid to leak the news.

"Are you going to Indonesia? Indonesia is too far away from the power of our radiation! After pondering for a long time, Sherepin shook his head and said, "I got the news from Comrade Andropov, the situation on the Indonesian side is not bad!" I don't see the need to go at all......"

"The invitation has been sent, I must go! And I'm going to take a huge delegation with me! It's just that the time has not been determined, today I have two tasks, that is, to take advantage of the time of the Rome Olympics to go to Italy for an investigation, this matter has been decided, the first secretary is also very supportive, and the other is the itinerary of Indonesia! There are three kinds of forces in Indonesia, mainly the Communist Party, the military, and the religious forces! Religious forces aside, this time I am ready to support a force to represent our Soviet Union! Serov analyzed the situation in Indonesia, clenched his fists and said, "Two million people whose territory cannot be counted should be part of the socialist camp!" ”

"Are you sure?" Sherepin read the invitation again, and then looked at his ace chief and asked.

"If you are not 100% sure, how can you be 90%!" Serov tilted his head slightly and put on an indifferent smile, this expression made Shelepin, Semychasny, and Egorychev all laugh, this is the person they are familiar with, not the good old man who chatted with Romanov. (To be continued.) )
