"Selov General Political Commissar, Moscow Telegram." While the two were waiting for assistance to arrive, a major-level GRU recruited Serov and said that a telegram from Moscow would be handed over to him.

   "Encrypted telegram?" Serov spent a long time trying to translate it, his face changed instantly, Yegolychev, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, was dismissed, and the new first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee is Grishin? He stabilized his mood and asked in a flat tone, "What is Comrade Shelepin, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, doing?"

   This is impossible, Sherepin is in Moscow, how could it be possible for Yegolychev to be dismissed. Did Shelepin not stop him, or did he think the position of the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee was unimportant. In two years, the leaders of the two largest Soviet cities, Leningrad and Moscow, have been lost. This loss is too great.

   "The General Political Commissar, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet was hospitalized because of appendicitis and did not attend the meeting." The major said cautiously.

"Hey... um! It's alright." Sheloff waved his hand to let the other person out, covering his head with his hands. The whole person looked like he was being beaten and squatting on the ground, hugging his head and crying. This is really bad luck. . He was absent, and Shelepin was hospitalized because of appendicitis. Of course, the Central Presidium Committee could pass a resolution at will to find an excuse to dismiss Yegolychev, and a member of the Central Committee could not resist at all.

"Do you think I can't do anything about it? I know that Grishin has several mistresses, and he can't hinder me." Serov comforted himself after getting rid of the state of hugging and crying for a long time, but even so, he I still feel that Shelepin's luck is too bad, or that Shelepin's group is too bad.

"This old fox is too cunning. He often takes me abroad. He just wants to transfer me. If I am in Moscow, even if Shelepin is hospitalized, it will not be so easy to pass the meeting. I will wait for Shelepin for a few days. It's over." Serov felt more and more that his thoughts made sense, Brezhnev was waiting there, and as long as he wasn't careful, he would find a loophole.

The matter has come to this point, and he has nothing to do, but he has left behind a long time ago. The current First Secretary of Leningrad Romanov and the First Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee Grishin, although they have replaced two of Shelepin's friends, But the two Shelov knew each other and would not hinder themselves.

"Sherov, are you okay? I just got the news. I hope you don't have any emotions about Comrade Yegolychev's transfer. From the perspective of a friend, I hope you can accept it." Andropov then came over. , Obviously he already knew the news about Moscow, and came to comfort Serov specially?

  No, Serov can clearly perceive that the other party is not simply comforting himself, but another meaning, win over! So he replied, "I have accepted it. After all, it is the decision of the central government."

   Recently Serov always feels that his perceptions are not accurate. It is not even 1973, can Andropov be unable to control his political ambitions now? The other party's purpose is obviously similar to his own, and he consciously has a good relationship with the leaders of major departments, especially Ustinov and Gromyko.

   But what if I support you? Your body is ill and you can't sit for a few years as General Secretary. If I remember correctly, Andropov died two years after Brezhnev's death, and there's nothing you can do.

   No, maybe this is better. After Andropov died, he seemed to have no enemies. None of the remaining members of the Dnipro gang were in good health, and the youngest Shcherbitsky did not live long. Not his own opponent at all, the biggest problem for Serov is not to be replaced after the death of Brezhnev in power. Thinking of it this way, I should support Andropov, because the other party won't live long anyway...

"I think, as a friend, I want to go back and comfort Egolychev." Serov also expressed his disappointment at the right time and hoped that he could return to the country as soon as possible. Andropov thought for a while and nodded, expressing his willingness. Help communicate with Moscow, so that Serov returned to Moscow a week after Brezhnev returned home, and Andropov continued to complete the remaining preparations in Chile. If the Red Navy did not arrive in Chile, he would definitely not come back. During the Hungarian incident, he saw with his own eyes what the collapse of a country's order would look like, and he was as careful as Serov.

   "It's a pity, it turned out to be such a result." Shelov's tone was very low, and he didn't know how to comfort his friend.

On the contrary, Yegolychev was relatively indifferent, as if he was not affected by the dismissal, and said to himself, "You are right, Brezhnev is hostile to us cadres of the Communist Youth League, and for the time being he will take you and Shurik. There is no way yet. But you have to be careful, the right to organize is in his hands, and Shurik also needs to be careful. The age of the two of you is a big threat to him. "

Yegolychev was very happy to see him when Serov came back from Latin America. He greeted his newly married daughter and son-in-law to go home. He prepared a meal with a smile to greet his friends. In a few days, he will go abroad to be an ambassador. went. The location is Denmark, a very wealthy small country.

If he thinks from another perspective, Serov believes that he will never be able to achieve the open-mindedness of Yegolychev. The political status of Moscow is very important. As the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he can almost say that his political status is higher than that of Semichasnyd. The most vocal Central Committee member of the Central Presidium has the second-largest political prestige and cohesion in the Shelepin clique, and can even be said to be Brezhnev's political opponent, but now everything is over.

"I am a person who participated in the Great Patriotic War. Those who have been on the battlefield may be more open, but you are different, and Shurik is the same. Neither of you have ever joined the army. If you encounter such a situation, you need to It will take a long time to recover." After eating, Yegolychev sent Serov out and said, "Be careful, as long as you and Shurik don't lose."

   "You are really open-minded!" Shelov shook his head and looked at the person standing at the door. He could guess what Yegolychev meant, suspecting that he was being watched by agents. Shelepin had just been hospitalized, and the Central Presidium immediately passed a resolution. Without conclusive information, it is impossible, and Yegolychev suspected that he was being followed.

"It's nothing, Brezhnev is a gentleman, and he gave my daughter a house." Yegolychev showed a smile, as if he was a little disinterested, "He used this house for me. The position of the first secretary of the municipal party committee."

Before Serov came back, Brezhnev personally called the dismissed Yegorechev: "I'm sorry for such a result... Do you have any problems, family problems or other problems?" Yegorechev The husband mentioned that his daughter had just been married and had no house. Within a few days, the newlywed family got a house.

"A house in Moscow can replace the position of the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee. Is the Soviet Union too incorruptible, or are these cadres never seen in the market?" Serov, who had left Yegolychev's house, strolled down the street, asking from The last time he investigated Azerbaijan, the first secretary of the municipal party committee had embezzled 200,000 rubles, and he was surprised. Could it be that the corrupt officials reported by the later generations were too daring to think that the Soviet cadres were clean?

"Do you feel like a failure?" Alexey stroked his gray hair, "Do you still think our minister made a mistake? You are already the largest security cadre in the country, or a general political commissar, a member of the national defense committee, and a member of the Central Presidium. , It doesn't look very good, it's not as good as we used to be."

"Go and let me lie down for a while." Serov, who was sitting on the sofa with a corpse, said an impatient tone. This old friend has become more and more annoying recently, and he came to his house from the GRU headquarters, which has been out for a month, to taunt him. Own.

"Now you know it's hard to do. When you face the resistance of most people, things are not easy to handle, or that sentence, as the No. 2 character is too strong, the No. 1 character is easy to find and want to take your place. Shelepin is in this position.” Alexis Shiran lit a cigarette and said a few words, “This is the file of the new commander of the Kremlin garrison, I hope you will use it at that time. How come you have been a security cadre for so many years, I won't remind you to burn it after reading it..."

   "I'm not prepared to do anything, it's not good for the country." Serov pouted, "Can Moscow's inner guards be able to deal with the surrounding army? Not necessarily. Since it can't be dealt with, then don't work hard."

"I don't want to do anything, but it's a good thing to win you over. You were killed suddenly like our minister." Alexey shrugged, "Your KGB has a team that monitors Shelepin, Shemichasne and the others. , I have found this group, I will make them slowly become paralyzed, you and I are not worried, as for the others, I see danger."

   "Isn't that what you're doing! With you, the veteran spy chief, what am I afraid of?"

"Are you scolding me? I could have turned down a lot of trouble for you." Alexey shook his head slightly, "But this Caspian tiger who can't get enough food probably won't thank me. Sometimes I really feel that I Did you see the wrong person?"

After   's dismissal of Yegolychev, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. Brezhnev's main job was to determine the legal status of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe and to solve his worries. At the meeting held in Helsinki, the United States and the Soviet Union reached a compromise and agreed that the OSCE and the European Conference on Balanced Disarmament would be held roughly at the same time.

  The Soviet Union tried to take advantage of the desire of European countries for peace and security, and confirmed the status quo of the post-war European borders in favor of the Soviet Union through meetings, consolidating its position in Eastern Europe, and dividing the relationship between Western European countries and the United States. The intention of the United States was to limit the further expansion of the Soviet Union while at the same time infiltrating Eastern Europe. European countries, to varying degrees, tried to take advantage of the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union to improve their situation.

   As long as the last step is completed, Brezhnev is ready to free up his hands for a formal attack, and the relevant plans have been drawn up. But after he came back, he postponed the plan again, "After I visit the United States, I will start the plan for Thailand and Congo, Yura, you can go with me." (To be continued~^~)
