As far as Malenkov and Molotov were concerned, the secret report that suddenly appeared at the 20th National Congress last year almost confirmed that Molotov and Khrushchev would not be able to go all the way, and the two were taken by surprise by Khrushchev at the 20th National Congress and lost the debate at that time. After a year of testing, the two went from mutual suspicion to trust, and this time they are ready to join forces to bring down the general secretary, and make a move before they are replaced.

Now it is time for the two to fight back, and at least among the party, the state, and the leaders within the presidium of the Central Committee, there are still many leading cadres at the same level as Khrushchev. June 18 was just an ordinary day, and the meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee was presided over by Marshal Bulganin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and attended by Malenkov, Molotov, and Kaganovich.

"Just now everyone expressed their views on our construction problems at this stage, and now I have a question to say!" Malenkov stood up and spoke in a low voice, "As a pure ** member, we should not only pay attention to the construction of material civilization, the construction of spiritual civilization is as important, and at the same time, we must not give up the precious qualities that we insisted on in the era when the conditions were still very difficult......

"Comrade Malenkov, we have something more important now!" Khrushchev frowned and said in a deep voice, "Can you save your words until the end of the meeting, now that the ministers of various departments are here, you can't let these departments put down their reports, right?" ”

"I think Malenkov's statement is important, maybe only Comrade Khrushchev thinks it is not important!" Molotov said unhurriedly, "Now there have been huge problems in our party affairs, since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China last year, there have been many group ** cases in the country, and someone must be responsible for this!" I think we've gone wrong with our route......"

"Comrade Molotov. Are you attacking me? I am the General Secretary, the First Secretary of the USSR! Khrushchev instantly understood that this time the two were joining forces to attack him, so he immediately retorted not to be outdone.

"Is the first secretary of the party digging into the corner of socialism? Trotskyism? To put the masses who have supported us for a long time into a psychiatric hospital and call them Stalinists is something that our first secretary did to do? If so, I have reservations about Comrade Khrushchev's assumption of the post of first secretary! Malenkov said without fear. I believe that this is also what some members of the Bureau are thinking......"

"Who are you to criticize me? Am I a Trotskyist? Trotskyism has been exaggerated in the first place, and compared to you Malenkov, I think that a deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers has too a soft attitude towards Sweden, and maybe he is a spy who has received benefits from Sweden, and is not qualified to be the deputy chairman of our Soviet Council of Ministers at all! Khrushchev similarly shouted, "Socialism cannot allow this imperialist spy to continue to exist......

Well? Sitting below, Fulcaiva sensed that there seemed to be something unusual about today's meeting. There was a smell of conspiracy, he turned his head to look at Brezhnev beside him, and said in a low voice, "Comrade Brezhnev, the situation today seems to be a little bad." The general secretary seems to be under siege by Malenkov and them......"

"It seems that Malenkov and they have been prepared for a long time, let's observe the situation first!" Brezhnev glanced at the atmosphere of the gradual showdown, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he was experiencing a great event......

The rostrum has become a battlefield for three people, and they are constantly attacking each other. The constant exchange of attacks by a General Secretary and two Vice-Presidents of the Council of Ministers was an eye-opener for the ministers of the departments who attended the meeting. It turns out that this kind of scene is not only in some populist countries, but also in the Soviet Union......

As the presiding officer of this meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Marshal Bulganin, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, was now looking quite embarrassed, and why did the two sides suddenly start attacking each other? Especially when there are so many ministers present, several major leaders of the party and the state have put on such a big show as if no one was around......

"The old comrades of the party cannot allow the Motherland to fall into the hands of the Trotskyists!" Malenkov slapped the table and shouted, "The Secretariat and the Council of Ministers must accept the reshuffle, draw up the list of new members now, and Khrushchev, as a comrade who has made a major mistake, must immediately resign and accept the criticism and education of the party and the government!" There is no doubt about that......"

"Comrade Malenkov has been presiding over the construction of the motherland for a long time, and the fruitful results in his work are obvious to all! I personally propose that Comrade Malenkov be the chairman of the Council of Ministers! Molotov said in harmony with the side.

"Comrade Molotov is an old comrade of our party and has been presiding over diplomatic work for a long time! They are very familiar with the operational mechanism and party affairs of our party, and they are fully qualified for the post of general secretary! Malenkov said to himself as if he hadn't heard Molotov's words, and it could be regarded as a reciprocat.

At this time, Kaganovich spoke, and to Khrushchev's expectations, Kaganovich actually sided with Malenkov and persuaded Khrushchev, "Comrade Khrushchev, the majority of the opinions of the members of the presidium are in favor of Comrade Malenkov, you better resign yourself!" ”

Khrushchev did not expect that Kaganovich would support Malenkov despite decades of friendship. Instantly, I felt that no one in this world could be trusted anymore, at least the current Central Presidium was gone.

"I think it's better for people not to take things too drastically! Comrade Khrushchev still worked very hard in the post of general secretary, and no one can deny this! Mikoyan, who had not spoken at this time, stood up and said, "Maybe some of the general secretary's problems have not been handled well, but I also think that Khrushchev cannot be dismissed from his post, and comrades must understand that the dismissal of the general secretary of the Party Central Committee under such circumstances will set a very bad precedent......

Mikoyan's performance on such occasions undoubtedly had the effect of helping the charcoal, but in the face of the three-man alliance of Kaganovich, Malenkov, and Molotov, Khrushchev's support was still a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the door of the presidium conference room opened, Suslov walked in with his usual calmness, did his position on the rostrum, and said as if he did not know the situation, "Sorry, comrades, I am late today, but I have heard the opinions of your comrades just now, now I will talk about my opinion, I think it is inappropriate to use such a sudden attack meeting to remove Khrushchev from the post of first secretary, as the first secretary of the Soviet Union, you cannot be dismissed from your post so hastily, I take a reservation about the words of Malenkov and Molotov, and this is how I see it......"

Kaganovich knocked on the table to draw everyone's attention to himself, and said unhurriedly, "The dismissal of Comrade Khrushchev from his post is the opinion of the majority of our presidium members, and Comrade Suslov, as an old comrade in the party, should know the basic principle of the minority obeying the majority, and it is not appropriate for a party general secretary to continue to work in the position of general secretary because it has caused dissatisfaction among most of the other leaders......

Marshal Bulganin looked at the contradictions between the two sides and seemed irreconcilable, and said on the side of Khrushchev, "Comrade Malenkov, Comrade Molotov, Comrade Kaganovich, it is inappropriate to remove the General Secretary from the post of General Secretary, I hope you can stop attacking in this way of sudden attacks, and ** people cannot form small cliques for personal interests......"

Foreign Minister Shepilov suddenly said, "Marshal Bulganin is a military man and should not be involved in the vote in the party!" The way to deal with this matter is very simple: apart from Marshal Bulganin, our Presidium meeting immediately voted on whether or not to remove Comrade Khrushchev from the post of General Secretary! "Shepilov is Molotov's successor, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he goes straight to the crux of the matter, that is, according to the provisions of the Soviet Party Constitution, the majority of the Presidium of the Central Committee unanimously decides to remove the general secretary from the post of general secretary.

"I agree to remove Comrade Khrushchev from the post of General Secretary!" Malenkov was the first to raise his hand and be the first to vote.

"I agree!" Molotov soon raised his hand for the second time, indicating that he agreed with Malenkov!

Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich, Voroshilov, Malenkov, and Shepilov successively expressed their positions, and Khrushchev only had the support of Suslov and Mikoyan on his side, and Khrushchev had a disadvantage at a disadvantage.

Suslov suddenly stood up, pushed his glasses and said calmly, "The current vote is unfair, you can't remove Khrushchev from the post of general secretary like this!" ”

"This is the opinion of the majority of the members of the Presidium, Comrade Suslov, don't you see?" Sepilov suppressed his anger and said, "As a member of the Presidium, I hope that Comrade Suslov will respect the opinion of the Presidium......"

"Comrade Shepilov misunderstood what I meant!" Suslov said calmly, "You said that Marshal Bulganin is a soldier, so he cannot participate in the presidium's vote by show of hands, but you ignore that he is now the chairman of the Council of Ministers, and not allowing Marshal Bulganin to vote is still an act of discord with the party constitution, and now the members of the presidium have not arrived, Comrade Kirichchenko and Comrade Saburov are inspecting Leningrad and Minsk, and they must wait for them to come back to vote, otherwise there are not enough members ......of the presidium, and the vote will be invalid" (to be continued~^~)
