MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 862 old boss

US Vice President Bush shook hands with Andropov, who had become the de facto general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, followed by Chernenko. By the time of Serov, Bush could clearly hear the other party's proficient English, "Reagan died. When the time comes, I will definitely attend the funeral, whether he invites me or not, I will go."

"President Reagan can't come because of other things!" Vice President Bush responded very formally, although Secretary of State George Platt Schultz, CIA Director William Joseph Casey and National Security Advisor William Jr. ? Clark and even himself persuaded Reagan that he should attend, but Reagan just didn't.

"He is such a direct person. Thanks to Vice President Bush's persuasion, people should have basic courtesy. Although we are enemies! My promise is valid, and I will participate when the time comes. Also, Reagan has early signs of Alzheimer's disease, It's information from my friendship..." Serov rolled his eyelids and shook hands with the next leader of the country. The hostility is undisguised...

Vice President Bush froze slightly, then shook hands with Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov and Foreign Minister Gromyko. He sighed in his heart. The Soviet leader's reaction was as if he had been waiting for Reagan and the Soviet Union for a long time. Same as attacking. I hope that the Soviet Union will not fall into the hands of this spy chief in the future. Thinking of this, he is amused. It should be impossible for a spy to be a leader...

   Possible, how impossible! Isn't your Bush the director of the CIA? Serov, who shook hands with Amin, tilted his head and cast a meaningful glance at Bush's figure, "Comrade Amin, congratulations on the progress of the communist cause in Afghanistan, you are Stalin in Afghanistan..."

   "Thank you, friend of the Afghan people, Comrade Serov!" If Amin had only one friend from the Soviet Union, it would be Serov, the current number three figure in the Soviet Union, the owner of Lubyanka and the chairman of the National Security Council.

   "Comrade Brezhneva, please condolences!" Andropov gave Brezhne and his wife a hug and said, "Brezhnev's death is a huge loss to our country."

Kirilenko, the secretary of the Central Committee who has been dismissed, held Brezhneva's hand and couldn't hide his grief. Even if Brezhnev personally ordered him to be dismissed, he also regarded Brezhnev as the oldest leader. .

   "Comrade Brezhneva, please condolences!" Serov lowered his head slightly, his eyes skipped Brezhnev's wife, and placed it on the more famous daughter and son-in-law of the general secretary. Dealing with the families of former leaders will soon begin.

   As much as it should be, he will not make a wrongful case. Serokoff and Churbanov delayed him from taking charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Without the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the KGB would not be complete. Why do the police distinguish between the secret police and the public police?

Since Brezhnev's death, all this has been doomed. In fact, Serov is still relatively careful. Tsvigon, Zinev, Serokoff, according to history, when Brezhnev was alive, should be installed. Dropov cleaned up.

How many grievances should not be counted on this occasion. This is the state funeral of the General Secretary. Under the watchful eyes of the heads of state of dozens of countries, Brezhnev's coffin fell heavily, and members of the Soviet Central Presidium stepped forward one after another. Lezhnev said his final goodbyes. Among the many committee members, Serov and Ustinov raised their hands and gave a military salute to the dead Brezhnev, "Proletarians of the world unite!"

   "The proletarians of the world unite..." More than 10,000 Soviet soldiers and policemen also solemnly raised their right hands and swore in a military salute. The atmosphere of the entire funeral was solemn and shocked everyone present.

   "Proletarians of the world, unite!" The Soviet people in the entire Red Square solemnly swore, and the voice resounded throughout Moscow. Countless Soviet people saw this scene in front of the TV, and they were all shocked. After all, the current era is an unprecedented and powerful moment in Russian history. After the news of Brezhnev's death, everyone no longer cares about all kinds of negative perceptions. All they can express is respect for this era.

Before    was buried, Victoria Brezhneva kissed Brezhnev on the cheek according to Russian custom. As Brezhnev's body descended to the bottom of the dug tomb, the orchestra played the Soviet national anthem, the church bells rang, and the Soviet troops present paid tribute to Brezhnev in the tomb. present. Then the Soviet Army held a military parade on Red Square.

Andropov and Tikhonov, who represented the government, as well as workers' representatives and representatives of the Academy of Sciences, who are of great political significance, gave speeches respectively to express their condolences to Brezhnev. From now on, Brezhnev's The era is over.

   "The general secretary wants to meet the Chinese delegation!" Ustinov tilted his head and said to Serov. This general secretary is talking about Andropov, unless Andropov is dead now, or this is a foregone conclusion.

   "I see!" Serov kept his eyes open. Of course, the Soviet Union welcomes reconciliation with China, but it will take time. Andropov thought he had seven years to deal with these things before his condition worsened. But history only gave him less than two years.

  Some things should be dealt with now. When Semichasny was leading the KGB, at the suggestion of the KGB, a crime of "spreading rumors" was added to the Soviet penal code to deal with the surging dissident movement. Freedom of speech needs the protection of the law, and the law should regulate freedom of speech on the premise of not harming the rights and freedoms of others. Legislation to punish rumors is naturally understandable.

  For example, some lawbreakers spread rumors and attack other citizens, slandering the reputation and dignity of the victims, and should be punished criminally. For another example, some people who spread rumors, fabricate the medicinal value and toxicity of certain foods, drive up or downplay prices, and disrupt the order of the market economy should also be punished.

Semichasny's methods are too direct, and they look exactly like the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the 1930s. Of course, they will not be liked by Khrushchev and Brezhnev, but now, some severe measures are indeed needed to correct the current situation. public opinion. Serov wanted to drive this rhetoric to another area, the Internet, which the Soviet Union focused on. There is indeed a need for a place like the pig network. Besides, the general political commissar is not willing to delay other people's foreign exchange earnings, right?

   Shelepin did not understand the principle of consolidating power first and then implementing his own political ideals, so he was marginalized by his colleagues and completely deprived of power. Kosygin devoted himself to reform and did not strengthen his team. In the end, he did not escape the fate of a weak prime minister, and was suppressed by Brezhnev and Suslov jointly.

And now, the only person who can suppress Serov is Andropov, who thinks he has seven years to live. As for Chernenko and the Dnipro gang, as long as he can deal with Serbitsky, this Brett The political group that Zhinev focused on would collapse, and Chernenko was not on his mind.

   "Even now, I still think that if you are the general secretary, you will definitely be much stronger than Brezhnev! Old secretary!" This was the first time Serov met with Shelepin after he retired. Xie Lepin's eyes are still sharp, and his righteousness is undisguised, but compared with the past, there are some vicissitudes in his body.

"But I lost, I lost to Brezhnev, he is not only twelve years older than me, history cannot be assumed. Now I don't have the ability to do things." Shelepin smiled bitterly, " That's why I stopped you from taking the risk at the time. My subordinates were all fired, but I can't say I lost completely. You are still there. Brezhnev's subordinates are also suppressed now, he is just later than me It's been a few years."

  You can hold the entire team, and you can rely on the talents of your subordinates. If you can't control your subordinates, you have to do it yourself and show them your excellence and dedication. Xie Lepin's courage to move forward, disdain for detours, ruined himself, and ruined the hope of the people of his era. Like he said, he has lost.

   "History is not fair to you!" Shelov bowed his head and said, "You have the ability. Morally, Suslov couldn't pick out your faults, but you had to leave your job when you were in your prime."

"Maybe as you said, when Khrushchev just retired, I should take the risk to grab that position. There is only one chance, if you miss it, you will never get it back." Shelepin sighed and stood up. He got up and walked to the window and said, "Your position is almost the same as mine, so be careful. It's not over yet, don't go the same way as me and Beria. The most important thing is, if you don't reach that position, don't be like me and Beria. Leah shows the power of disobedience because everyone will be afraid of the police, and hopefully the next time you meet, you've got rid of all restrictions."

"You must be better at fighting than others, and you are not without advantages, at least in terms of age, you have an advantage over Brezhnev when I faced him at the time, and now in the Central Presidium, only Andropov is considered Personal characters, other people, Romanov is okay, others are just average." Before leaving, Shelepin thought for a while and said, "In the Dnipro gang, only Serbitsky and Kunayev need to pay attention, don't Thought I couldn't see it, Chernenko was not far from death."

   "Semichasne has always believed that you betrayed the interests of our group, but I believe that you will not!" Shelepin's attitude was the same as twenty years ago, and he had absolute confidence in the cadres he valued. At this time, he was still the eagle of the Communist Youth League, a young leader loved and respected by all Soviet cadres.
