Chapter 199: New Members

"Alright! We'll go in the evening! Serov agreed to the inspection team, no matter how he said that he was a cadre from Azerbaijan, and many people here were colleagues in the past, so it was not a big deal to get together with each other. And Aliyev has solved all the problems that Serov is concerned about in advance, and there is no need for him to continue to bite it, how to say that Semychasny is also his boss, and he is a cadre promoted by Shelepin, Serov must give his boss a face.

The Gongti Cultural Palace is one of the more famous cultural palaces in Baku, although it is not the largest, but it is a place where Semychasny often arranges cadres to have dinners, and sometimes superstar group weddings or something, oh yes, revolutionary group weddings......

"Today we welcome the comrades of the KGB inspection mission from Moscow to Baku!" Standing on the rostrum, Shemychasny raised his glass and greeted Serov and others, "There are also our former colleagues in the inspection team, and this time Comrade Serov has returned to his original place of work, I wonder if there is a feeling of nostalgia?" ”

"I am very happy to return to Azerbaijan and see many familiar comrades! The arrival of the inspection team to Baku this time was only a routine plan, and Comrade Semychasny was too polite! Serov looked modest and cautious, and said with Semychasny, "This exchange between different departments, comrades are casual, and our inspection team will leave after a while......"

The entire inspection team is also preparing to investigate the Central Asian region, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, both of which are of equal importance to the Soviet Union and the Caucasus, where there are more prisoners. Kazakhstan is the second largest republic of the Soviet Union after Russia. Uzbekistan is also very important. The Uzbeks were also the second largest minority in the Soviet Union after the Slavic population, and there were reasons to go.

Serov and Semychasny had not seen each other for a long time, and soon after talking about the scene, they came together, and Semychasny asked about the situation in Moscow, and Serov also answered without words.

"Yuri, I didn't expect you to have a chance to return to Azerbaijan, I really don't know whether these cadres here are more welcoming or fearful of your return. Maybe both, right? "Semichasny's meaning is very simple, when Semichasny hung the credit for checking the accounts on Serov, this is not a secret in Azerbaijan at all, so it is really difficult to say what kind of mood it was for the cadres who still remember the earthquake to see Serov appear here.

"What does it matter, I don't work here now anyway! The KGB is my job! Serov smiled easily and sat next to Shemichasny, and suddenly leaned forward, "I said old secretary, you have aged a lot in the past two years." It's very inconsistent with the image of a beautiful man? ”

"You kid......" Semychasny shook his head helplessly, he had already become a major general. I thought that Serov would grow a lot older when I met this time, but I didn't expect it to be similar to when I was in Baku, and I began to smile when I said a few words, "When will you be more stable, how did you survive in the KGB environment?" ”

"I'm a lot more stable!" Serov said in a serious tone, "But this time in Baku, especially after seeing you, I still think it's better to release my nature, don't pretend to be old, I'm only in my twenties, and I don't want you to be so ......old."

Semichasny's eyes narrowed, what does this sentence mean? You're only in your twenties, and I, Semychasne, are just thirty years old, so why are you involved with Lao? However, he also knew that Serov had always been a brain, and he didn't take Serov's ridicule to heart, which he had discovered since he often wiped Serov's ass.

"By the way, Yuri, the Chechens are coming back soon!" Shemychasny said with a headache, "There are already relocation documents coming down, and there will be Chechens slowly coming to Azerbaijan in May, if you talk about it, it is still your idea to let Chechens come to Azerbaijan, you are now patting your ass and leaving, leaving all the problems to me......"

The Chechens are a hot potato, and if it were so easy to get it, Stalin would not have made the decision to move the entire nation back then, and now Khrushchev let the Chechens return home from Central Asia in order to show ethnic equality. Serov had already submitted a report stating that the Chechen habitat had been occupied by local Russians, so Moscow finally agreed to the decision to resettle the Chechens in Azerbaijan, and the construction of supporting infrastructure began last year.

"Oh, Chechens!" Serov nodded inexplicably and said, "Old secretary, this is not the time to be soft, we must break up the Chechens and not let them form a gathering area, otherwise there will be big problems in Azerbaijan in the future......"

"Well, that's what I thought too!" Shmychasny poured a glass of vodka and took a sip and said, "I am going to build a gathering place for Chechens around the shores of the Caspian Sea, so that it is easy to be monitored ......"

"That's great, if they dare to make trouble! As soon as the internal affairs troops are dispatched, they will be driven into the sea! Serov agreed with Semychasny 120,000 points that if he could not do so, he could rush to Iran and leave the Chechens to fend for themselves.

Semychasny thinks that he is completely wrong, I really don't know why Serov always gets excited when he hears the news of the Chechens, is he having a grudge against the Chechens? Semychasny glanced at Serov and said secretly, "I haven't heard of it, could it be that I was beaten by the Chechens when I was a child?" ”

"Why did you come out with the inspection team this time?" At the same time as Semichasny was questioning, music was already playing in the hall, and both the Azerbaijani cadres and the members of the inspection team brought by Serov stood up in twos and threes, and walked into the arena to look for their dance partners, and some of them had already found dance partners.

"I want to know this question too!" Serov listened to the music expressionlessly, poured vodka into his mouth and said, "Now I don't even know who asked me to come down, the inspection team is all comrades of the Second General Directorate except me, and normally it is impossible to choose me to come out for this mission......

"Oh? So weird? Semichas asked with a stir in his heart, "Tell me about the comrades of several departments in the inspection team, and let me analyze that your situation is very much like someone's impromptu decision, and then send you out to ......"

However, there are too few clues in this matter, and after thinking for a long time, Shemychasny can only be sure that someone deliberately sent him out, and it should not be malicious, and the rest of the place is all based on speculation, "This person should not be from your KGB, but his status is also very high, and he has no ill will towards you, it should be under observation for you!" ”

"Forget it, that's not something I can decide! After leaving here, we went to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and this inspection was completed! It will take about half a month to return to Moscow...... "Serov has always had a big heart, since it is not malicious and nothing, let him come out with the inspection team, and he will come out." It is possible to do good things with the inspection team, at least for the time being, and the operation to clear the black prisons is not bad, because Siberia is not within the scope of Serov's inspection, because it is a large and sparsely populated area, and it is not really an important area in terms of the number of prisoners.

In the villa of Malenkov in Moscow, Molotov came here again as a guest, and now the situation in the entire Soviet Union Although Khrushchev has the absolute upper hand, with the only remaining power of Molotov, it is easy to prevent Khrushchev from discovering that they are gathered together, and Khrushchev has not been able to monitor the energy of other members of the Central Presidium.

This time, Molotov also brought another person, Kaganovich, one of the deputy chairmen of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and the energy of the three people gathered together was very terrifying, because they were all vice presidents of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and could influence almost every aspect of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. However, since Khrushchev came to power, the Council of Ministers has become weaker and weaker in front of the party and the Central Committee, which is why Molotov and Malenkov huddle together to keep warm.

Kaganovich actually had a very complicated relationship with Khrushchev, who had known Kaganovich for many years, and their experience of working together ended up lasting decades. In the first 30 years, Kaganovich was the eldest brother, he single-handedly brought his fellow Ukrainian villagers into the central government, and every region and department where he still served arranged for Khrushchev to be his successor. In the next ten years, Khrushchev took refuge in Stalin's purge of the old clique and rose from the younger brother to a giant, while the former eldest brother was reduced to a supporting role and foil. Kaganovich could have continued to play the role of the Soviet Union's No. 7, but he seems to be too nostalgic for the past. This time, I don't know what Molotov used to pull Kaganovich into his camp.

In fact, even Malenkov was really surprised by Molotov's wrist, and when Kaganovich entered his house, Malenkov was still a little incredulous, and it was Molotov who first secretly explained the ins and outs. No one knows more about the relationship between Kaganovich and Khrushchev than Molotov, because more than 20 years ago, when Molotov and Kaganovich were fighting for power, the person who often stood next to Kaganovich and shouted was Khrushchev.

"Khrushchev has increasingly deviated from the phalanx of collective leadership, and this is a bad trend!" Molotov told the two, "If we fail to maintain intra-party democracy, Khrushchev will inevitably go to the line of totalitarianism, which is not a good thing for our motherland......"

This time, Molotov played the role of connecting Malenkov and Kaganovich, and it can be said that he was the most determined of the three. (To be continued......)
