I am
The people fell silent.
I am
What did he want to say?
The secretary-general repeated the first word several times. Then he burst into loud laughter.
Damn it. My speech secretary must have written something good for me, but I cant remember it because Im old. Hahaha!
Then he walked down from the podium and approached the place where the people who received the medals were sitting.
The guards were flustered and couldnt stop him.
How old are you? Where are you from?
Hahaha! Youre handsome. You must have been popular when you were in your hometown!
How did you get hurt? Where did you get injured?
He swept through the soldiers, shaking hands, hugging, joking, and laughing.
He left the shocked high-ranking officials and the lower-ranking ones he liked behind and went back to the podium.
Really, Im so moved to see you all. I have a lot to say, but I cant think of what to say, my heart is full.
Every word he said was sincere. Even Nikolai, who had been lost in thought, listened attentively.
But well, thats not important. The important thing is the people. The Soviet people and the proletarian people of the world. You only need to think about that. I too
He paused and looked at the hundreds of people who were looking at him with bright eyes. His voice was lively and energetic, unlike an old man.
He had worked tirelessly for a long time and seemed to have exhausted his life, but was there something burning inside him like a volcano? Nikolai thought he was like a volcano.
"I too will work for the people. The authority of the party, the authority of some high-ranking people, forget about that. Crush those who mistreat the people. I will guarantee your safety.
From now on, you are the owners of the Soviet Union. Whatever you need, whatever you suggest, whatever you want to improve, tell me."
A loud applause erupted. One by one, they stood up and clapped. Soon, everyone was standing and clapping.
The secretary-general waved his hand as if he had enough and grabbed the microphone again.
You are the owners of this country. Im just a secretary. Now! Enjoy the victory!
Woahhhhhhh!!!
The people were ecstatic. Nikolai also stood up and cheered.
The secretary-general smiled warmly and kindly and waved to the people. He shook hands with everyone who asked for it and soon disappeared behind the stage with the Politburo members.
Soviet Union, hurrah! Hurrah! For victory and the future!
Haha Do you like the people?
Yes! The secretary-generals speech was amazing and touching. Of course, this was all recorded, so we can broadcast it again anytime for the people, for us.
Beria followed me and flattered me. His round eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
Of course, I knew that it wasnt pure enthusiasm. Especially considering where we were going.
Hahaha, good. Anyway Congratulations to you too!
Thank you! Thank you!
The other Politburo members looked nervous, but Beria licked my feet like a loyal dog.
Beria must have dreamed of this day.
Soon Youll be a marshal! Hahahahaha!
Its all thanks to Comrade Stalin! I will work more loyally in the future!
If the previous huge hall was for the heroes of the Red Army, this time it was for Beria.
But dont feel too sorry. If people find out that youre involved in nuclear weapons development and thats why youre promoted to marshal, they might doubt our nuclear development.
Is that possible? But you invited all my close people, so I dont know how to repay this favor!
I didnt care about my favor, but Berias tongue was like it was greased.
It wasnt a huge hall, but a much smaller room, but it was suitable for the ten or so people sitting there.
As expected, the giant NKVD agent opened the door for me, Beria, and a few others.
Hmm Very good Svetlana?
Ah Dad!
Inside were Berias closest people. His wife Nina, his son Sergo, his old mother, and a few cronies.
But among them was a familiar face to me. It was my daughter, Svetlana.
Dad, what are you doing!
Do you want to hear what he did to try to take over the next generation of power in the Soviet Union? If you want to dirty your ears, listen.
I had succeeded in eliminating Budyonny, who would have the highest honor in the military. I had fabricated a charge of collusion with the West to pin on Zhukov, and I had dug up personal corruption charges on the stiff Konev.
The moderate Vasilevsky was trying to turn his children into puppets. If he, who had seized the military police and was a former chief of staff, fought for power, it was clear who would win.
You would have been one of his pawns. You are even if you hate me, youre still my daughter, arent you?
No, Sergo oppa is
Thats not true!
Sergo Beria, who was stunned by the unexpected situation, stared at his fallen father and then contradicted me.
I really
Well, you might have. Of course, Beria, his informants looked through Svetlanas diary and dug up what she liked and dreamed of. Isnt that right?
This time, Sergo stiffened. Svetlana, who was the only one not captured, clutched her diary notebook that she always carried around like a treasure.
Beria knew everything she wrote in that diary. Sergo and Svetlana might have liked each other, but they were just chess pieces.
He had taken over the military, and after Stalins son died, he had the backing of being the only relative. It was obvious what he was aiming for.
Of course, the young couple didnt believe it and only shed tears like chicken droppings.
Do you want to live?
When I nodded, the NKVD insiders who were Berias cronies were dragged out one by one by the Spetsnaz. Borosilov, who had firmly taken control of them, showed no mercy in dealing with the NKVD high-ranking officials. They were too dangerous to keep alive.
Of course, they were not Berias family. His wife Nina was just a scientist at the Agricultural Institute, and the only benefit she got from Berias position was an occasional trip to the hot springs. Siergo, too, had the chance to get along well with Svetlana, but he was still a low-ranking officer.
Just spare my family Send them to Irkutsk. Theyll have to be watched for the rest of their lives, but at least
For you! How much blood have I spilled for you!
Beria clenched his teeth and screamed with his last strength. He no longer showed me any respect.
Dont you think you owe me something when my blood is mixed with theirs?
Bang! Bang! Jukov, who had climbed onto the podium, pulled out his pistol and shot Beria in the back of his head.
Blood splattered on his pants, but Jukov didnt care. He wiped his dirty pants with his gun and looked down at the corpse with a cold gaze. He had grown up under Budenny as a cavalryman, and he probably had a special feeling for him.
But his lifelong mentor was assassinated by a conspiracy. In front of the corpse, he gritted his teeth.
Svetlana, make your choice. The Kremlin will be a cozy place for you if you choose to stay quiet until I die. After I die well, I dont know what will happen.
Svetlana bit her lip and glared at me, then bowed her head and shed tears as she looked at Siergo Beria again. Nina, his wife, and Marta, his mother, were half-fainted and couldnt even hold their bodies.
Ill go.
If you go to Irkutsk, the intelligence agents will watch you for the rest of your life. You wont be able to leave your house until you die. But still
Ill go! Ill go! I said Ill go!
Svetlana snapped with red eyes. Siergo lifted his head and stared blankly at Svetlana.
Svetlana slowly walked over to him and hugged him, tied up with a rope.
Siergo oppa Im sorry
Svetlana
Ill pick the best place for you among the places I can go. Dont treat them too harshly.
As soon as my order fell, the Spetsnaz agents dragged, carried, and took away the remaining Berias family. A big agent brought a big bag and put Berias corpse in it and started to clean up the scene.
Make the sign look like an accident. We lost our Soviet Union leader Beria comrade in a tragic plane crash while he was on vacation. That should do it
I got it, Koba.
Yang Gupeng, the head of the secret police.
The truth of his words was probably closer to this. The hunters feelings, who wanted to get rid of the dangerous hunting dog, but had to catch the rabbit first, were nervous and risky.
But now that he had dealt with the dangerous hunting dog why didnt he feel relieved?
She wasnt my daughter. She wasnt my child.
I cant be the tsar. We destroyed the tsars empire, and now you talk about succession of power! God no, Lenin comrade, forgive me!
Koba.
Beria wanted to be the next tsar himself. But we cant create new nobles. You too, dont think about passing anything on. Do you understand?
Why did it sound like he was making excuses? Borosilov nodded silently. He probably nodded. No one should know that the man of steel could shed tears.
For the people.
