The plenary session of the Central Presidium, held in November of each year, usually to study the problems that arise during the year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSometimes Khrushchev also made some personnel changes. In fact, this year, Khrushchev wanted to talk about agriculture at the time of the conference, which was already a long-standing problem for the Soviet Union. But if this happens, the agricultural question must also be postponed, and there is no problem that can be compared with the unity of the party.

Before entering the Kremlin, Serov's car stopped at the gate and entered without identifying the anomaly. The Kremlin's garrison is very important in Serov's heart, and this is not to put a few commanders and leaders to rest assured that they have their own people, although he is the head of these people in name of the KGB chairman, but the people in the Kremlin are the top leadership of the Soviet Union, and it is not impossible to make the commander of the garrison not obey orders.

The Kremlin garrison, at the right time, can also be used to capture him. So even if the secret line is still not credible, Serov must plant a secret line among ordinary soldiers, every year he will plant a team of more than 200 people in the Kremlin garrison, these people have legal identities, but in fact, they are all blank people who came out of the seven secret service cities, and after arranging an identity with the KGB, they will enter the Kremlin garrison to serve, change every two years, and then send them abroad or find a position in China to continue to do espionage work.

As a person who was not very good at mathematics, Serov relied on his fairly good memory to memorize the list of these people in his head, and even Valya did not know about it. Today everything is normal in the Kremlin, and after a few words of encouragement, he continued to get in the car and walk to the conference hall of the Central Presidium.

After getting out of the car, Serov stood in front of the building, but with the corner of his eyes, he saw the second secretary's car slowly coming from the other direction, quietly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, took out two pills that seemed to be pills, stuffed them in his mouth, and entered the building with a blank face.

"Chernenko, did you see Serov's movements?" Brezhnev asked, looking at all this.

"Haven't you heard of Serov's illness?" Apparently Chernenko was qualified as a secretary, and he did not need anyone to teach him in this area, and Brezhnev saw the same things.

"Serokov said that among the garbage dumped in the office of the chairman of the KGB, bottles of sleeping pills were found." Brezhnev revealed the news, which surprised Chernenko, "Serov is only thirty-seven years old, will he take drugs regularly?" ”

"We, the chairman of the KGB, go abroad more often than anyone else, maybe it's the time difference, right?" Brezhnev quietly put forward an idea. Serov had been admitted to the KGB General Hospital for treatment as early as when he was the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration, and although the specific matter was kept strictly secret, the fact that he was hospitalized was not a secret. Then began a frenzied workout, the intensity of which was known throughout the Rubyanka.

Linking the two things, Brezhnev believed that Serov should have a very severe insomnia, to the point where it must be controlled with drugs, and as for the annual high-intensity exercise, it may be to exhaust the energy and make the body tired, and the physical workers know that if you do physical exercise all day during the day, it is easier to enter the dream at night.

After two sentences, Brezhnev got out of the car and Serov entered the building with his front and back feet, and Serov, who entered earlier, looked indifferent, chewing milk candy in his mouth that looked like pills. He just ate two pieces of candy, and he is also the chairman of the KGB, and he has seen this kind of thing for so many years. As for what others think about him, if someone asks him about his physical condition, then the answer he will naturally get from himself is that he is in good health, anyway, Serov is not lying, and it is your own business to believe it or not.

In fact, this meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee was doomed from the very beginning, and the two people who were only found out were actually not qualified to challenge at all, so what about the secretary of the Central Committee in charge of the organization? The opponent is the First Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Ministers. The process of this level of collision should be similar to Serov beating his own son, which is destined to be a tragedy.

Khrushchev wanted to clean up a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, and it was not at all a problem. This can be seen from the fact that Khrushchev could not hear the opposition at all in the usual meetings, except for Kozlov and Suslov, basically no one would face to face with Khrushchev, and Brezhnev and those people only raised two words of protest after Khrushchev calmed down, so that Khrushchev respected the other members of the Central Presidium.

As usual, the agricultural question was discussed, and Khrushchev turned the conversation to the question of unity within the party. The fierce criticism of some members of the Presidium of the Central Committee for forming small circles made everyone look at each other and their hearts were full of nervousness. Almost most of the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee were dissatisfied with Khrushchev on some issues, and even they themselves did not know who Khrushchev was referring to.

Khrushchev's roar resounded in the conference room, and it also hooked the soul of Serov, who had been listening to the agricultural issue drowsily, and saw Khrushchev standing in front of the rostrum on one side of the rostrum, and he was emotionally accusing certain things, "Some comrades are in charge of organizational work, but they use this kind of work to do things harmful to the country and the party, this is a very bad criminal act, is this against me?" I am a person who has come alive from the time of Stalin, and I am not willing to use that method, but it does not mean that I will not do anything, Comrade Ignatov's behavior must not be tolerated, this is a betrayal of the party and the state. ”

"Podgorny, I trust you so much, in several contacts between Ignatov and you, you did not tell me Ignatov's dissatisfaction, may I ask what is going on." Khrushchev gasped violently after speaking, and the eyes of the other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee fell on Podgorny, who knew that the worst outcome would be the end of Podgorny's political career, and the choice between Khrushchev and Podgorny would be self-evident.

Just as Serov had guessed, Podgorny excitedly retorted, but almost at the outset everyone drew a line and said that he had not betrayed Khrushchev. At this time, as soon as Khrushchev raised his hand to let Serov come up, he did the position next to him and said, "I will not frame any member of the Presidium of the Central Committee." ”

Serov, who had been wearing a flat expression, stood where Khrushchev had just stood and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, "On 16 August, Ignatov had a conversation with the secretary of the Tambov regional party committee while he was on vacation on the Black Sea, and his words expressed dissatisfaction with many of the policies of the first secretary. ”

"On 19 August, the subject of conversation was changed to the secretary of the Tomsk regional party committee, who accused the first secretary of the mistakes in agricultural reform and said that the first secretary's agricultural reform was a mess."

"On August 22, he was the secretary of industry of the Kaluga State Party Committee. August 23, August 25...... Serov continued to express one by one expressionlessly, then paused to look at the faces of the members of the Central Presidium, took out the order issued by Khrushchev and read it out, "Ignatov is hindered and has been out of the scope of the KGB's competence, and the State Security Council is ordered to continue to pursue the issue of Ignatov, and on September 3, Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the USSR and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Khrushchev. ”

After the reading, Serov, who had no connection with him, continued: "Since August, Ignatov and Podgorny have met six times, and on four of them the KGB has obtained records of conversations between the two men, so that it can be established that Comrade Podgorny is clearly aware of Ignatov's discontent. After a pause, he looked at Podgorny and asked, "Comrade Secretary of the Central Committee, do you need me to read out your chat records?" ”

Podgorny clearly knew what issues they were talking about that day, in fact, dissatisfaction with Khrushchev was widespread, and he would talk about this issue in private, but Ignatov was the person on the blacklist in Serov's heart, and he didn't know how to hide it in addition, so he was discovered by Serov.

No matter how many people are on the other side, this time it is the same for Serov, nothing can change his determination to continue to hold his thighs, at this time Ignatov jumped out, and he could only let Serov borrow someone's head and get a military merit first.

At this point, Podgorny also knew that his political career was over, and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "Is it normal for the first secretary to use the intelligence services to monitor the activities of cadres?" Then he pointed the finger at Serov and shouted, "You are nothing more than a wolf raised by Khrushchev." ”

Shouldn't it be a tiger? Serov didn't move his eyelids during the whole process, the high-ranking secretary of the Central Organization was no longer there, and all that was left was the wailing of the defeated dog, and only after Podgorny finished venting, did he say lightly, "Without the warrant of the first secretary, the KGB has no right to investigate." There is also evidence of an attempted coup d'état that is not only for you, it is a matter of Ignatov, but you should not hide it from the first secretary. ”

"Being responsible to the people is our great Red Army, and our KGB is responsible to the country, and when there is a conflict between the country and the people, the choice of anti-rebel workers is often the state, even if we know that after the work is completed, maybe we will not end well." After saying this, Serov returned to his place. (To be continued.) )
