Although   Kunayev finally sided with Serov under the persuasion of Shcherbitsky, it definitely cannot be said that he is very willing, and no one wants to see the leader of a powerful department become the general secretary. But it turned out that there was no way, and Chernenko's hospitalization showed that even objection might just make that moment come later.

"You are the first secretary here, of course you have the final say." Shelov didn't come to seize power, so he expressed no objection to this, glanced at Nazarbayev on the side, and said to Kunayev, "This cadre is good."

There are not many people in this world who are grateful. If he remembers correctly, Kazakhstan was the last to declare independence among the Soviet republics, the ruler of Kazakhstan, the current chairman of the Kazakh Council of Ministers, and the second-ranked Nazarbayev among them. It has a great effect. It can be said that Nazarbayev is worthy of the training of the Soviet Union. As for things after independence, no one can accuse him of anything, he is responsible for Kazakh.

  Nazarbayev once said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not inevitable. The thing is really interesting, the most determined independence is Russia and Ukraine, the most want to save the Soviet Union is the five Central Asian allied republics.

  Nazarbayev has obvious yellow features, and now it seems that the first meeting between him and Lukashenko is at least friendly.

"General Secretary, do you think Comrade Nazarbayev is very capable?" Kunayev tentatively said that if Kunayev was handed over to Nazarbayev, this would be a good choice. .

   "He may be the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union in the future." Serov glanced at Kunayev and had to stress again that he was not here to seize power. I really don't know what Kunayev was worried about?

   In the future, the general secretary of the Soviet Union, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and the chairman of the Council of Ministers must not be concurrently held. The status of the members of the Central Presidium is equal, preventing a rice bucket like Getu from becoming the top leader and controlling the highest power in the Soviet Union.

   "It's not a bad thing to see some other cadres. By the way, the Central Supervisory Commission's agency in Belarus, I'm going to recommend a cadre. You can contact him more." After returning to the hotel, Serov suggested to Lukashenko.

Serov talked to Lukashenko on an equal footing. In fact, that's what the general secretary usually said. It's just that he accumulated too much notoriety at the time of the KGB, and he was afraid of him wherever he went. .

"General Secretary, is that a cadre you are very optimistic about? What's his name?" Lukashenko's language was still very restrained. When he knew that Serov had named him to accompany him, Lukashenko was flattered, of course he could Said to be frightened. You must know that Lukashenko is only 30 years old this year. Just a few years ago, he was only a tank company commander or a deputy company commander of the KGB Border Guard...

"The cadre's name is Putin. He has the ability, but it is not suitable for the security sector. But in terms of style, it is very suitable for the Central Supervisory Committee!" Shelov was not going to hand the KGB to Putin. , proved one thing, that is, as an intelligence officer, Putin's career in the KGB was definitely not successful.

  Pukin can be said to be the most successful KGB cadre in politics in later generations, and he did not live up to the military training the KGB gave him, but he was indeed unsuccessful in developing spies. If the KGB were in his hands, the news that Serov would hear ten years later was that the KGB was losing ground on the secret front.

   It is enough for the pragmatists to have one Brezhnev, and Serov is not going to get one by himself. It really doesn't work. There is also Nazarbayev. For the Soviet Union, the top and second leaders of the country are all ethnic minorities. This is somewhat unreasonable. Serov only needs to ensure that the members of the Central Presidium have a Russian majority.

"The work in Belarus is very important. It will take a few years to lay the foundation for you to be promoted too quickly, otherwise people will be dissatisfied." Shelov simply instructed that Lukashenko is only 30 years old this year, if according to the promotion record, He is almost the same as Serov, already at the same level as the chairman of the Belarusian KGB.

   After the Brezhnev era, how could such a young cadre occupy a high position, and there were not many cadres in the municipal party committee, let alone a cadre at the level of a republic. Then Serov asked about Lukashenko's relationship network in Belarus.

"I have a good relationship with Comrade Shuskovich. He is a comrade with rich knowledge." Lukashenko gradually let go of the situation and began to answer the general secretary's questions freely. In front of the general secretary from the KGB, he said: Lukashenko knows everything, it is not necessary to hide, the general secretary will know if he wants to know.

"Shushkovich?" Serov frowned and muttered to himself, which caught Lukashenko's attention and asked cautiously, "Do you know Principal Shushkovich?" Shushkovich is now Rector of Lenin University. After being promoted by Serov, Lukashenko often went to Lenin University to study and got acquainted with the President of Lenin University Shuskovich.

know? Is the representative of the waste promoted by Ge Tutu? According to history, this person should be Lukashenko's opponent. When he was the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Belarus, he was impeached by Lukashenko, who was in charge of anti-corruption work.

   Can the current chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission impeach Serov? It is impossible at all, which proves how desperate Shuskovich and the Ge Map, the leader of a country like the Soviet Union, are to him.

   After a moment of silence, Serov flung out a sentence that made Lukashenko shudder, "I do know this person. If I remember correctly, it should be the name I saw on the anti-rebel list."

   The whole air froze instantly, Lukashenko's face was stiff, and his back was soaked with sweat. This kind of feeling is like suddenly encountering a hungry tiger in the wild. Although the other party hasn't moved to eat him, he has already made him unable to move. This is purely an instinctive reaction.

You must know that the general secretary also serves as the chairman of the National Security Committee and the general political commissar of national security. You can imagine how much he attaches great importance to the work of eliminating counter-revolutionaries in the eyes of the general secretary. Today, the general secretary who attaches great importance to ideological issues even said the name of his friend. Having appeared on the list of anti-rebels, Lukashenko, who heard this sentence, was desperate.

   "Don't worry, I didn't say you have a problem. But this person is unreliable!" Shelov pulled out a little smile, of course, this smile is definitely not good-looking, at least in Lukashenko's eyes.

   Leaving the room where the general secretary rested, Lukashenko could only sigh that the ups and downs of life are so exciting. One day before, he was a young cadre with high hopes of the general secretary, and one day later, he was almost implicated in making friends. This kind of shock will not disappear immediately after the general secretary comforts him. Lukashenko must find a place to rest and consider whether he should go home and farm.

   "I'm too timid, I still need to exercise." Sheloff took a sip of water and shook his head. He was just joking. He's already the general secretary. How could he care about a university president? It was only after hearing the name Shuskovich that Serov said a little more to see how Lukashenko reacted.

  Compared with Serov, who was in a good mood in the Soviet Union, US President Ronald Reagan was in a bad mood. A sports event like the Los Angeles Olympics has become the biggest humiliation to the United States. At this time, the media, which were suppressed, were also mocking the failure of Reagan's policy. Obviously, there are more countries in the world participating in the Moscow International Democracy Games. Reagan should enhance the soft power of the United States and reshape the glorious image of the United States, instead of obsessively confronting the Soviet Union and so on...

  Reagan did not go out in the White House for several days, which was the biggest setback since he became president. The American people's fear of the Soviet Union seems to be on the rise again after being suppressed by Reagan for two years. What's so scary about the Soviet Union?

   "What's so scary about the Soviet Union?" Reagan's close friend, CIA Director Casey threw the newspaper on the table and said what Reagan wanted to say but didn't say. When accepting the appointment of the CIA director, Casey believed that he should be a member of the cabinet decision-making team. With Reagan's consent, Casey became the first CIA director to enter the cabinet, which gave him an exceptional position and influence. This was a pivotal moment, as former CIA directors were detached purveyors of intelligence, and as a cabinet member, Casey became an integral part of the Reagan administration. He not only supported the CIA, provided intelligence assessments to Reagan, served as Reagan's intelligence adviser, but also participated in decision-making and served as Reagan's political adviser.

  Casey and Reagan were like-minded, convinced that the Soviet Union was a far more subtle and powerful enemy than the average American government realized. He wants to attack the key points of the Soviet Union, and compete with the Soviet Union politically and economically for positions in Eastern Europe and the Third World. He completely abandoned the CIA's tradition of only implementing and not formulating policy, and formulated a series of measures to confront the Soviet Union.

   "I can teach the Soviet Union a lesson!" CIA Director Kathy whispered his suggestion.

"Will this anger Serov, you must know that he is a spiritual intelligence agent like you." In order to take care of his close friend's emotions, Regan didn't tell the truth. In fact, he wanted to ask Casey, do you think it was Serov? opponent. Several CIA directors in a row have suffered big losses at the hands of each other.

"We used civil organizations in other countries, so that the Soviet Union would never find us. Shelov has always considered him to be the most outstanding security expert, and we embarrassed him from his field." CIA Director Casey firmly road.

   "Be careful, as long as you can't find us, Serov can't fight!" Reagan also had a satisfied smile on his face. It is best to provoke the Soviet Union to fight a war and consume the opponent's strength.
