Chapter 50. task
"Time makes it difficult to say what it is. ~Top~Point~Small!~Say~~"
Slowly stepping forward, he stood quietly behind the wide floor-to-ceiling window, held his pipe with his right hand, gently inhaled the mellow gas in the pipe, and slowly exhaled it after a while, with a kind and kind smile on his face, he just said softly: "Gorky's seagull, sometimes I see it, and I like it very much." ”
There was a chubby figure standing behind him, listening to the man in the twilight of his prime in front of him, he couldn't help but gently take out his handkerchief, wipe it on the top of his bare head, swallow and spit, move his lips but still didn't speak, just a silence, and he could only be silent.
"Comrade Khrushchev."
The figure in front of the window groaned slightly, and the two well-groomed beards were above his lips, and with the loving look on his face in the Chinese characters, he looked like a peaceful and elderly father. But looking at the majestic building outside the window in front of him, and the red star standing in the darkness at the top, he turned to look at the chubby figure and whispered, "This article is very well written." ”
He moved, his sturdy body turned his back to the figure, and under his slightly gray hair, his eyes had an eagle-like vision. He was like a giant bear squinting and napping, but he snorted lightly, spat out a puff of smoke and said slowly, "What do you think?" ”
"Let the storm come harder... Comrade Stalin, the Bolsheviks were never afraid. ”
Khrushchev raised his head, his chubby face was a little sweaty, although he was the general secretary of Soviet Ukraine, but in the face of the general secretary of the whole Soviet Union, he still could not have the slightest dissatisfaction and pride, because that was Stalin, the first person to rule this huge country with an iron fist. He just bowed his head slightly, with firmness in his tone: "We are the ** people of the proletariat!" ”
"The ** man of the proletariat?"
Stalin sat on his wooden chair, wrapped in a soft filling, he comfortably reached for his pipe, and slowly inhaled the fine tobacco produced on the Baltic coast, the mellow taste could not help but make him nod with satisfaction, exhale a puff of smoke, but smiled softly and said: "Yes, the proletariat is good." ”
However, he did not stop his words, and Khrushchev, who was in front of him, was also well aware of Stalin's habits, and just stood there quietly, as if he were a schoolboy being taught by a teacher. And Stalin played with the pipe in his hand, looked at Khrushchev and said with a smile: "Most of our comrades in the Third Comintern are good. ”
Although this sentence was still said with a smile, and Stalin's face also had an amiable appearance, the cold sweat on Khrushchev's forehead suddenly became more, and one by one appeared on his smooth head, which was quite conspicuous. And he also involuntarily swallowed his Adam's apple, and stammered: "Yes... Yes... Comrade Stalin. ”
"You agree with me, don't you?"
Spit out the cigarette in his mouth, and the corners of Stalin's slightly laugh-wrinkled eyes couldn't help but stretch, as if he was a child who had eaten candy, and as if he was an old child who had teased young people, but the essence in his eyes still made people dare not look at him directly. And Stalin smiled, stretched out his hand and knocked on the button on the table, and at the same time smiled at Khrushchev: "Your work in Ukraine is very good, I like it very much." ”
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Comrade Stalin."
Khrushchev bowed his head slightly, which was his respectful side. No one can look up in front of this man who holds the Soviets and the giant bear of the north in his hands as if he raised his head and looked him in the eyes, at least in the present Soviets, no one is like this, and no one dares to do so.
"Dangdangdang."
There was a gentle knock on the door of the office behind him, and at the same time a female clerk opened the door and walked in, not looking at who was in the room, but standing quietly behind the door, and gently asked Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, I don't know what you told me to do?" ”
"Comrade Ksenia, please let Comrade Yagoda in."
Stalin took a gentle puff on his pipe, and then slowly exhaled two dragons of smoke from his nostrils, his face looming in them, as if he were in charge of everything. But when the smoke cleared, his face was still kind, and he just stretched out his hand and smiled and beckoned to the female clerk, saying, "Just let him come in directly, don't wait any longer." ”
"Okay, Comrade Stalin."
The female clerk named Ksenia smiled, looked at Stalin with adoration and admiration in his eyes, but did not say much, just nodded in response, and gently withdrew the hair from her ear, and at the same time closed the door again, so that the silence of the office was restored.
Khrushchev, who was standing on the sidelines, did not speak much, and did not even look at the female clerk except for a slight glance at the female clerk when the door was opened. He stood silently, as if he were a wooden carving. Although he had been away from Moscow for many years, had a population of 10 million in Ukraine, and had almost as much power as Moscow, he was still quite respectful to Stalin.
This is also the reason why Khrushchev is still standing here, and it is also the basis for him to still dance on the political scene in Moscow, and it is also an important guarantee that he can come to this office, listen to the words of the Supreme General Secretary of the Soviet Union in front of him, and put forward his opinion!
"Yagoda is a good comrade."
Taking a light puff of his pipe, Stalin slowly exhaled the smoke, he lay down comfortably in the back, looked at Khrushchev standing next to him, he gently bit the wooden pipe nozzle with his teeth, but shook his head lightly and said: "He is very diligent, and it is a virtue that our current workers and peasants need most." ”
Khrushchev stood slightly, he swallowed softly and foamed, but his mind was blank. He was well versed in politics and understood the meaning of Stalin's words, but what made him even more unbelievable was that Yagoda was currently the second leader in the "Cheka" after Minzhensky!
"Comrade Khrushchev, let him go back to Ukraine with you."
Sitting in his chair, Stalin smiled slightly, and said cordially to Khrushchev as if he were negotiating: "We must not relax, and Ukraine's grain purchase plan must also be successfully completed." As he spoke, he nodded lightly and said, "Comrade Yagoda is very diligent, he can help you share some more work." ”
"I obey your and the party's work arrangements, Comrade Stalin."
Khrushchev nodded immediately, without the slightest hesitation, although he understood that Yagoda's task was actually to urge him to complete the grain purchase plan as much as possible, and even to supervise him, but Khrushchev still nodded and said: "I will complete it satisfactorily." ”
But he paused slightly, but he remembered the current situation in Ukraine in his mind, and couldn't help but grit his teeth tightly, he gently looked up at Stalin, who was still looking at him smiling, but he didn't know where a surge of courage came in his heart, and he lowered his head and said softly: "Comrade Stalin, at present, a lot of grain has been harvested in Ukraine, but there is not much grain in the hands of farmers and workers. ”
"Supply and marketing cooperatives have rations, and we will ensure the most basic food needs of the people."
Stalin smiled lightly, did not comment on Khrushchev's words, he stood up gently, put one hand behind his back, held a pipe in the other, smiled at Khrushchev and said: "Comrade Khrushchev, the proletariat of the world is the strongest when united, do not look directly at Ukraine." ”
"Yes, Comrade Stalin."
Khrushchev's heart trembled slightly, he understood that what he said just now was too sudden, he did not raise his head, but gently lowered his head without the slightest hair, nodded calmly but respectfully: "I will complete the task assigned to me by the party and the state." ”
