Chapter 245： small circle meet

? Now, what's the hesitation?

"I support Comrade Andropov as general secretary. Only he can lead our country to continue to grow stronger and get rid of the shackles of the Brezhnev era," Grishin said.

Another characteristic of the leaders of the Soviet era is that when the new one comes to power, they always find fault with the old one. After Khrushchev came to power, he almost called Stalin a gravedigger of the Soviet Union, while Brezhnev came to power in a coup d'etat, and completely overthrew Khrushchev's political views. Now, it is normal for a new leader to come to power and find fault with Brezhnev.

"Okay, since you both agree, I don't mind." Gromyko spoke, which made Grishin unhappy for a while. This guy, worthy of working in the diplomatic field for so many years, was born with a An old fritter. If this is revealed in the future, this guy will definitely push the responsibility completely, and continue to be prosperous at the top.

"Gromiko, since you have agreed, then at the meeting the day after tomorrow, it is up to you to propose." Ustinov said: "You have been in the bureau since our great leader Comrade Stalin was alive. , It's a senior, and none of them dare to object to your proposal."

Sure enough, no one is so fooled! Ustinov was also quite shrewd. When he found out that Gromyko was slippery, he immediately made new demands. impossible! It is up to you to propose that Comrade Andropov be the general secretary!

Gromyko was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ustinov to say that, but now he knew that if he didn't agree, he might not even be able to get out of this door!

Political struggles are bloody.

"Okay, of course." Gromyko readily agreed.

In fact, in his heart, Gromyko had an idea of ​​his own! According to seniority, he himself has hope, but now...

Meanwhile, in another small house in the center of Moscow, another encounter was tensely underway.

"We must join forces to get rid of Andropov!" Shcherbitsky's voice was cold: "Chernenko, it's time to show your courage! Together, we will be able to kill Andropov. Get off the stage!"

Chernenko sat on the side without saying a word, the whole room was filled with smoke, and he was smoking one by one now.

There were not many people in this small room. Besides Shcherbitsky and Chernenko, there was an old man, Suslov, secretary of the Secretariat!

Suslov is indisputable in the world, but he actually has the hope of becoming the general secretary. You must know that the secretary of the secretariat is equivalent to the number two person in the Kremlin, the successor of the great general secretary!

Now, the situation has become clear. General Secretary Brezhnev is no longer there, but he has not designated a successor. This time the power transfer is destined to be full of struggles as before. Among them, the most ambitious and hopeful is Andropov, the chairman of the KGB!

Neither Chernenko nor Shcherbitsky alone can compete with Andropov, because Andropov controls the secret police! The things behind everyone present are directly controlled by Andropov, which is very unfavorable for them. Since it is impossible to bring down Andropov alone, it can only be hoped by joining forces.

This is almost the same as it was back then. After Stalin's death, Malenkov, Beria, Khrushchev, these people are all promising to become general secretary, among them Beria is the biggest threat, he holds the KGB and holds a powerful spy agency! So Malenkov could only come together with Khrushchev, and the two joined forces, together with the other committee members, to bring down Beria and put Beria to death.

After that, Malenkov and Khrushchev started a war of persecution. Malenkov led the Soviet Central Presidium and planned to remove Khrushchev from his post. *****, exiled all the members of the Central Presidium who opposed him. From then on, the Soviets became Khrushchev in power.

Now, Andropov is equivalent to the original Beria. Only by joining forces can a few people get rid of Andropov! As for who will be in power in the future, that will come later. Now, unless Andropov is killed, the rest of the people present will not end well.

Shcherbitsky was impatient, and summoned Chernenko and Suslov to discuss jointly abolishing Andropov so that the sword on his head could be removed.

"In the past few years, the power of the KGB has been too great. Andropov is following the old road of Beria, and he must not let his conspiracy succeed!" Seeing that everyone did not speak, Shcherbitsky continued to agitate.

He seemed to have forgotten that the reason why Beria was killed by everyone was because Beria was arrogant and ignored everyone. On the day Stalin died, everyone was crying, only Beria was the only one. People are laughing! Belial has sharpened his knives and slaughtered others, of course they have to resist!

And now? Although Andropov is also the head of the KGB, he has always kept a low profile and has a good relationship with other people, especially since he has become a good friend with Ustinov!

Why was Khrushchev able to step into the position of general secretary? Because he was supported by then Defense Minister Zhukov!

"The death of the general secretary is very strange!" Seeing that these two people had not been stirred up, Shcherbitsky became anxious: "The general secretary has always been in good health, so why did he suddenly get sick? Moreover, when the disease was about to recover, the death of General Zweigon appeared! The general secretary's condition repeated again, and when the general secretary's illness improved again, the general secretary was encouraged by some people. , inspected the army, and eventually caused the general secretary's physical function to be completely lost. When he came back, he fell into a coma. He never woke up again, and there was no designation for the connecting team! Everyone, think about it, who would conspire to frame us. General secretary? If he becomes the general secretary, we will all be framed to death by him!"

The general secretary died strangely! There must be a conspiracy behind this, and it must be that Andropov impatiently wanted to be the general secretary and murdered the great Comrade Leonid!

Hearing what he said, Chernenko on the side made a statement: "In this way, we must join forces to expose the conspirators hidden in our party."

"Yes, that's right!" Shcherbitsky said: "Although he has the KGB in his hands, he can't conspire to harm our leaders! If this is revealed, the rest will definitely support us! Secretary Suslov, you You have a high prestige in everyone's hearts, how about you write this report?" (To be continued.)
