Chapter 850: The Cotton Case

"Comrade Suslov said that we should not deal with these things openly, otherwise the impact will not be good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Grischen was silent for a moment and fought again, "Once this case breaks out, the impact on the country will be very poor. ”

"Isn't the impact bad now?" Serov asked rhetorically, "The whole of Uzbekistan knows about this, and Moscow continues to pretend not to know?" This is not only a matter of one or two cases, but in the long run it will make the people lose confidence in Moscow, and do you understand the consequences of this trend of thought in the minority areas? Moreover, this is a case personally supervised by Comrade Andropov, and I am also under a lot of pressure, I hope you understand. ”

In addition to the increasing authority of Brezhnev in the later period, and Suslov's right to speak became weaker and weaker, there may also be personal problems, Suslov's own puritanical way of life, which will naturally cause estrangement from other people, and some problems Suslov will naturally not be able to understand because he has not experienced them. He always thinks that these problems are not serious, not to mention other problems, this case is serious enough. It is no longer a case that can be erased.

Billions of rubles are involved, and this is an act of the local party committee to deceive the central government, not simple corruption, and the local party committee has deceived Moscow, and this problem is definitely much more serious than simple corruption. To put it mildly, this is an act of seeking death.

"Comrade Grishin, you should be able to feel that I have no opinion on you personally, even if it is because Egorechev is your predecessor, you can't take care of this matter, you don't want to conflict with the second secretary, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." Serov lowered his voice and persuaded him, and Grischen was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and nodded approvingly.

"Some people don't even know the preciousness of life!" After sending off Grishin, Serov walked to the window and stared at the bronze statue of Dzerzhinsky, who could only see Dzerzhinsky's back, still as tall as ever.

As for Glishin, there are also a group of cadres in the Andropov era who were affected by the anti-corruption turmoil, and Serov actually does not believe that Serov wants to fight corruption, not in the name of fighting corruption. If you are greedy, you are greedy, and if you are not greedy, you are not greedy.

Serov did not believe all of the cases of corruption in the Andropov era. For example, Grishin is a person, Serov knows that the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, like himself, has very problems in the relationship between men and women, and maybe there is also a gray income, but he knows what happened after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Before his death, Grischen had denied corruption.

Considering that Grishin has always had a tense relationship with Andropov, the normal speculation is that Andropov, who controls the KGB, used rumors against his political enemies so that Glishin did not pose a threat to the position of general secretary.

Politics cannot be seen by moral standards, Suslov's private morality is noble enough, and he has also used political means to suppress cadres who do not deal with him, and Andropov is the most direct victim, so this kind of thing cannot be said at all.

The existence of Glishin's affairs does not mean that Andropov should be blamed, because after the disintegration, Andropov's descendants are ordinary ordinary people, and Andropov did not use the position of general secretary for his own personal gain. If you want to say that the only general secretary who takes the lead in enjoying it is probably only Brezhnev, but when he came to power, he surpassed all his predecessors. Brezhnev's enjoyment was nothing compared to Go's map.

Because the appearance of the Gotu map covered up Brezhnev, who was the most inexemplary among the previous general secretaries. It can be said that Brezhnev's good name after the collapse of the Soviet Union was completely compared with his own stinking reputation.

Under normal circumstances, Brezhnev's reputation would certainly not be as good as that of later generations, but the Soviet Union collapsed. Andropov and Chernenko were short-lived, and people remembered that the Brezhnev era was the time when the Soviet Union was at its strongest, and the general secretary who could barely work in the last period began to be remembered.

A week has passed since the National Workers' Congress, Serov has not seen Brezhnev for a week, the Great Leader is resting, and according to this situation, every time Brezhnev appears in public in the future, he may have to rest for a long time, and the general work of the General Secretary has actually shifted to Andropov and Chernenko.

The Lubyanka internal prison, because of the call of the great leader, so the KGB also respects cadres very much, Karimov's cell, the chairman of the KGB, who also respects high-ranking cadres, is sitting face to face in front of Karimov.

"Amazing, Comrade Secretary of the State Party Committee, do you really regard Bukhara Oblast as your own territory? You don't really think that with all your ruffians, you can stop me from arresting you. Serov, who was sitting on the interrogation table with his hands on his cheeks and leaning forward slightly, said indifferently, "You are a cadre of the Soviet Union?" Or an ancient chieftain? ”

The first giant greedy spoke quite confidently, pointed to it and said, "Evaluate this place, right?" Comrade Secretary of the State Party Committee, what do you think is the difference between the Lubyanka's internal prison and your private prison? I can confidently tell you that I will do whatever you can do to deal with the enemy. The methods of your thugs to extract confessions, we anti-corruption workers are more skilled, don't waste time, tell you all the news you know, I don't have time to grind slowly with you. ”

"Chairman Serov, your treatment of cadres in this way is not in line with the spirit of the Central Committee." The sluggish Karimov lived up to his arrogance in Uzbekistan, a completely unfamiliar place. And the person who interrogated him was the master of the security system of the whole Soviet Union, and even in the eyes of many people, Serov today far exceeds the previous leaders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB.

"But this is very much in line with the spirit of Su Fang's workers!" Serov raised his eyebrows and said to himself slowly, "I think you should understand something, what the KGB wants you to do, you better do it." Don't waste my time, I don't have time to rub shoulders with you, you can wait for someone else to save you and see who can knock on the door of the Rubyanka. ”

"Don't be stubborn, if you want to have a deal with your geo-hooligans, I can promise you that I will let you go to Siberia to dig potatoes now." Serov, who was very happy, looked at the other party with a playful expression and said, "In the past twenty years, the KGB has not paid too much attention to the country, which has made you local cadres form an illusion. Nobody's in charge of you anymore, is there? He also dared to deceive the central government and defraud the state of subsidies. ”

"In front of the KGB, everyone is equal!" Serov walked up behind Karimov and patted the other party's already sweaty shoulder, "You have been in the cadre class for decades, and I understand that you believe in the network you have built. Cadres like you, who participated in the Great Patriotic War, are not necessarily afraid of death. But aren't you afraid that I will mark your children's safety files as untrustworthy? That's what I solve with a pen. ”

Karimov's whole body stiffened, if his children were really done this, it would not be a matter of confiscation of wealth, and the untrustworthiness of the security file would be fixed in one position for the rest of his life.

Serov is the one who knows this best, and more than 20 years ago, when a local newspaper editor accused the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan, he submitted the security file to Moscow and placed the editor in the family section of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It wasn't until last year, when the editor was still living in his family quarters in 1953, that all kinds of benefits and bonuses were canceled, and his salary was not raised, so that he had been subject to apology letters for decades, and the security file was lifted last year. Because the editor had reached retirement age, the editor who accused the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan wrote a letter of thanks, saying that he had a wrong view when he was young and that he was extremely sorry for slandering the work of the security system.

When it comes to security files, Ge Tutu can best appreciate his power, no matter how many people are optimistic about him, he can't get up to the position of the local state party committee, even if it is the current second secretary Andropov who is optimistic about him.

"Have you thought about it, then I'll go, you are going to Siberia to dig potatoes." Serov turned his back to Karimov and prepared to leave, he didn't care, the big deal was to let the Uzbek KGB catch the second one, and if it didn't work, he would continue to arrest it.

"Wait, I'm willing to confess, but you have to keep my children safe." Karimov said in a panic.

"That's right, it's good for you and me." Sitting down with a smile again, Serov was very satisfied with Karimov's attitude, "Everyone is working, you have to know what department in this country cannot resist, we anti-rebel workers want to cut off your heads, you have to cooperate, wash your neck and straighten your head, the result of resistance is not good for you except to make the process more painful, am I right?" ”

The General Commissar looks like I'm going to kill you, but it's definitely for your good. It made Karimov feel a burst of despair, he knew that Moscow, which had always been far away from the emperor, had noticed the Uzbek affair. From Serov's attitude, he could sense that the entire Uzbek Communist Party was in danger.

Karimov has retired from the year before last, and his confession cannot be all useful, but the weight is sufficient. According to his confession, the KGB could arrest others, and at the same time, Serov did not break his promise, calling the headquarters of the Uzbek KGB and asking the local KGB to protect Karimov's family.

At the end of March, the secretaries of four Uzbek state party committees were arrested on different occasions, causing an uproar in the local area. Then Komsomolskaya Pravda began to report on the problems of corruption and fraud of central subsidies in Uzbekistan, and the cotton case really kicked off.
