Chapter 208: New Forces Are Forming
The biggest victor in this struggle was naturally First Secretary Khrushchev, and those who supported Khrushchev in the struggle naturally had to be rewarded for their meritorious deeds; with the purge of Malenkov's supporters, it is foreseeable that a large number of middle-level cadres will be vacated......
Faintly below Khrushchev, there will be a dragon fight, and perhaps now is the time for some new forces to be formed, at least Serov now seems that the prospects of the Komsomol department are still very good.
The Komsomol headquarters building, where Sherepin, Egorechev, Meshatsev, Tikunov and others gathered, and the First Secretary of Azerbaijan Semychasny was among them, and it was a completely private gathering of Sherepin's friends, and when Serov arrived here, the atmosphere was at its highest......
"This time the general secretary has won a big victory, and it is foreseeable that a big cleanup will return! Many valuable positions will be vacated, and as the base for our party's back cadres, the Communist Youth League will definitely rise this time! Alexander, here's your chance! Tikunov laughed very presumptuously, clearly pleased with the result. Tikunov's departure from the KGB was already a detour.
"That's right, many young people in the Komsomol need to practice their abilities on the job, Alexander, this is an opportunity for us!" Although Semychasny is far away from Shelepin, the relationship between the two who also graduated from Moscow University can not be explained clearly in a few words, and the relationship between the junior and the senior is far from summarizing the relationship between Semychasny and Shelepin, it can be said that Semychasny's promotion path is completely following Shelepin's footsteps, and even Semychasny's trip to Azerbaijan is operated by Shelepin.
Selepin was very sympathetic to the judgment made by Semychasny, who was also born in the Komsomol League, of course, the most important thing was his own observation, in which Khrushchev, although different from Stalin, came to the purge at every turn. However, in the hands of Khrushchev, the Soviet cadres were actually transferred very frequently, even more frequently than in the Stalin era, although Sherepin could not guess what Khrushchev was going to do, but there was one thing that Sherepin could see, that is, Khrushchev's attitude towards the old cadres was obviously distrustful. In order to avoid the resistance of the old cadres, they frequently transferred the posts of the cadres and prevented anyone from forming a force against them.
Sherepin couldn't guess this, and Serov, the little brother who was listening to a group of big brothers' teachings, knew it, but Shelepin didn't ask, so Serov naturally wouldn't say it. Khrushchev wanted to abolish the cadre tenure system, he would talk nonsense?
"The work of the Komsomol will be very important for the next few years, that's for sure!" "Not only now, but now I have to train a leader in the Komsomol to make sure that after I leave the Komsomol." This department is also in our hands, Shemychasny, you are in Azerbaijan as well, and you cannot lose Azerbaijan just because you are transferred from your post in the future......"
"I know. It took several years of running Azerbaijan to form the current situation, and it seems that I am too incompetent to lose it casually! Shemichasny nodded indifferently. With his usual pride, but his pride was a little more restrained than Shelepin's.
If Shelepin stepped down as secretary of the Komsomol, the best successor would naturally be Shemychasny, who was also born in the Komsomol and graduated from the same school. Moreover, they are also cadres of the Communist Youth League, so they can be handed over smoothly, and Sherepin can also use them as soon as they are left behind in the Communist Youth League, without any sense of jerkiness. It can be said that if Semichasny left Azerbaijan, joining the Komsomol would be the best choice......
As a little brother, Serov could only quietly watch the two KGB chairmen pretend to be forced before and after, and a major general of the First General Bureau shrank aside and did not dare to speak. For this kind of black-box operation, as an upright Soviet ** member, Serov expressed contempt in his heart, but considering that he is also a member of this circle, Serov can only say that he will call me next time......
After a few people chatted for a while, Sherepin asked the Komsomol people to prepare a little food, it must be noted that vodka occupies most of the place in the recipe, or Serov is very disdainful of polar bears, regardless of the occasion, except for drinking or smoking, although Serov also did this, but did not delay and despise these Soviet natives.
In the process of constantly pouring urine into the mouth, the atmosphere is gradually lively, it seems that the nonsense on alcohol is also the common reason of the world, maybe everyone here is absolutely trustworthy people, maybe there is no shadow of a major purge, the atmosphere here is very relaxed, as a cadre first talk about politics is naturally.
"Malenkov and they actually saved their lives this time, if it had been five years ago, maybe it would have been the fate of Beria! If General Secretary Stalin were still alive and dared to jump out and challenge authority, we would all have foreseen the end! Meshatsev took a sip of vodka, burped comfortably, and said, "In this sense, we are indeed in the process of continuous progress......
"The general secretary is also off to a good start, maybe there will be no failure and death in the future, which is also a good thing! By the way, Malenkov, their level should belong to being monitored, right?! Yegorechev asked.
Everyone focused on Serov, and the focus of attention made Serov uncomfortable for a while, especially under the gaze of many big brothers, which made him feel so nervous for a while.
"Our chairman said this two days ago, but I am not a comrade of the Second General Bureau, and I don't know the specific situation!" Serov said cautiously, "But it is certain that a person like Malenkov, even if he goes to the field to be a low-level cadre, is still under the monitoring of the KGB, unless he has become a complete ordinary person and has no ability to make a comeback, the KGB will feel that the benefits of continuing to monitor will outweigh the losses, and finally give up the monitoring of the target person......"
......Well, everyone, including Xie Lepin, nodded thoughtfully, this is like words, otherwise it would be a bit too high to lift it up and put it down gently, it doesn't look like a struggle at all.
"But then again, this time they took Malenkov really out of expectation that it went smoothly, I didn't expect three vice-presidents of the Council of Ministers and one foreign minister to be killed so easily!" Shemychasny sighed a little, he was careful and hard working in distant Azerbaijan, and he didn't know if he had any hope of reaching Malenkov's status in this life, but he didn't expect that the big man in his eyes would be easily killed in a short period of time, and he had a lot of emotion in his heart for a while......
"This time the general secretary is in the middle. The support of the Central Committee members, the military and the KGB is very important! Sherepin analyzed, "Medium. Among the members of the Central Committee, the Ukrainian faction can be regarded as a huge support force for the general secretary, and it can be regarded as a revelation to the latecomers! That's what you have to figure out how to get it done. The Ukrainian faction in the Central Committee, otherwise it would not have succeeded......"
"Not bad, but still not deep enough! Alexander, we must face up to the attitude of the Red Army represented by Marshal Zhukov this time! Yegorechev stretched out his finger and shook it and said, "Marshal Zhukov has mobilized the forces of the air force and divided the whole country. The members of the Central Committee were transported to Moscow, and only then did the general secretary have a chance to turn the tables! To tell the truth, the attitude of the Red Army this time was somewhat excessive, and this was the first time that the Red Army had shown its attitude against the Central Committee, and this was a dangerous signal! ”
No matter in any country, the relationship between civilian cadres and the military cannot be harmonious, the same is true of the Soviet Union, this time the Red Army came forward at a critical moment, although Khrushchev was grateful to Marshal Zhukov at this time, but with the passage of time slowly diluted this incident, Khrushchev will eventually remember that this time the Red Army did not listen to the orders of the Central Presidium, and used the will of the Soviet Red Army against the orders of the Central Presidium, this time the Red Army was on Khrushchev's side and did not say anything, but in the future, if Khrushchev and the Red Army did not have the right opinion, Will the Red Army still confront Khrushchev?
Now Khrushchev has just asked Zhukov to be kind to Zhukov because of the crisis, but it will not be long before he will make a move against the Red Army, and besides, the Soviet Red Army is the largest expenditure of the Soviet Union, and if Khrushchev wants to develop the nuclear industry and the aviation industry, he will definitely make up his mind on the military spending of the Soviet Red Army, and sooner or later the two sides will have to deal with each other.
"The second is the role of the KGB in this incident!" "Although the general secretary cannot leave the Kremlin!" But because of the medium. Central commissioners are allowed to enter the Kremlin! All the general secretaries cannot be said to have severed their ties with the outside world! The chairman of the KGB is on the side of the General Secretary, so although the General Secretary cannot leave the Kremlin, he is still well aware of the situation in Moscow as a whole, which shows the importance of the KGB! ”
"Yes, the support of the Red Army and the KGB is also an important factor in the general secretary's triumph!" Sherepin nodded and agreed with the analysis of his two friends, and it cannot be denied that the two powerful institutions played a huge role in Khrushchev's turnaround. The Central Committee members came to Moscow to play a role, otherwise they would not have lasted that time.
As a little brother, Serov naturally did not express his opinion, but watching the conversation of this group of bigwigs of the Communist Youth League, how did he feel as if a new anti-party group was being formed, and he seemed to be a member of it.
And it seems that Sherepin and these people don't seem to realize it at all, and they are still analyzing the factors, as if they are making some kind of preparation, Serov tends to think too much about himself, and now Sherepin probably has no intention of killing Khrushchev, and he does not have the strength.
