"What, Marshal Ustinov died due to ineffective medical treatment?" Everyone in the corridor was anxiously waiting for Andropov's surgery, but at this moment, there was even more surprising news.
Marshal Ustinov, who was hospitalized a few days ago, has not shown up for the past few days, and now, at this most critical moment, Ustinov actually died!
This is really surprising news for everyone, and the arrival of this news makes everyone feel the chills on their backs again. They have realized that an era of change is coming!
After Andropov came to power, the tenure system for cadres was abolished, and young cadres were vigorously promoted. Even at the top of the Soviet Union, there were more and more young faces.
And now, the old people left one by one, Ustinov died, and Andropov was still on the operating table. In addition, the news has not been reported yet. Only a few people know that General Andre's special plane encountered a flight accident and fell from the sky of Uzbekistan. These major events were gathered together in a short period of time. Suffice it to say that the top management of Moscow is about to usher in a new turmoil!
"I think we should hold a zzj meeting tomorrow. We need to discuss who will preside over the work of our country while the general secretary is hospitalized." Boris said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I need to go back to the office first, Do some business."
Boris is gone, Getu is gone, and the others have also left one by one. They know that tonight will be a night that will decide the outcome! Those who are close to each other are all trying to get the upper hand, so they need to communicate with each other privately! Every high-level change in the Soviets will bring huge turmoil!
This is also the reason why Brezhnev was placed in the position of general secretary for many years. There is a good general secretary who is considerate to his subordinates, and the people below can maintain a balance. This situation is the best.
And tomorrow, who will be the winner? At this time, the general secretary in the ward seemed to have been forgotten.
The general secretary's condition has been confirmed, and the transplanted kidney has a severe rejection reaction! In this situation, the existing medical technology has no way to solve it. Therefore, although the rescue is still in the ward, it can almost be considered that the person lying on the hospital bed is a half-dead person.
No one would really stay and cry for Andropov. You must know that the senior staff of the Soviets can usually maintain a fake smile, but at this time, they will really attack.
Back then, during the Khrushchev era, everyone saw the end of Beria, who failed in the struggle. A new cruel struggle is about to begin!
So, in the empty corridor, only Elena and others were left. She was still waiting anxiously. She believed that Yekaterina would definitely save her father!
Time passed little by little, the operation was done for more than 20 hours, and it was already bright outside.
A new day came like this. When the executives of zzj came to the conference room, many people's eyes were red. Obviously, they didn't sleep well last night.
The position of the general secretary has been vacated, and the positions of the defense minister and deputy minister are also vacant. Ge Tu sits in the position of the secretary of the secretariat with a smile, which is almost a tradition. The general secretary of the Soviet Union, He rose from the position of secretary of the Secretariat.
"Everyone, we just received the sad news that Marshal Andrei's passenger plane crashed in Uzbekistan due to mechanical failure. And our general secretary, the operation has been completed, but the general secretary is still still In a deep sleep, there is no sign of waking up, so we need to elect a new person to temporarily take over the job of the general secretary, and we have to elect a new defense minister." Ge Tutu said: "It really hurts us. The news, we must put away our sadness now, the Soviet needs young blood to continue to maintain the sailing of the Soviet ship."
Ge Tutu's words were not painful at all. He looked at the crowd and seemed to be able to see their hearts directly from their eyes.
"I recommend Comrade Gromyko to assume the important task of presiding over the country during the general secretary's illness." At this moment, a voice came.
Tikhonov, the party is also considered a veteran. Yesterday, the small circle was divided into two factions. Obviously, Gromyko and Tikhonov belonged to one faction.
"Comrade Gromyko has been working on the front line of diplomacy all the year round and is our most outstanding diplomat. However, what we are going to elect now can give us the helm of the Soviets. In my opinion, Comrade Chernenko is very experienced. , it is more suitable to take over the position of the general secretary when the general secretary is ill At this moment, Boris on the side said.
Chernenko? No, it's a hit! Gromyko was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Boris would recommend Ge Map, and Ge Map has just been hinting that he presided over the meeting and wanted to take over power. As a result, these guys actually gave the old guy Chernenko to Throw it out!
Moreover, Chernenko's health is already very bad. He came to the meeting and sat in a corner without saying a word. Obviously, he wanted to be an ordinary audience. However, the more this is the case, the more Appropriate! In particular, as an old man in the party, Chernenko has not offended almost anyone over the years, so Chernenko will definitely get enough support!
It is easy to get everyone's approval when Chernenko is launched, and because it was launched by Boris, after Chernenko takes power, he will definitely repay Boris, Boris can get a better position, and Ge The map will also be reused, and it will be easy to train to become the second-in-command in the party!
It's a good move, it's not leaking! Gromyko knew that this meeting was likely to make Boris and his gang achieve their wish.
Sure enough, after hearing the election of Chernenko, others spoke up and agreed with this proposition.
Therefore, with the unanimous voice of everyone, the flattered Chernenko was elected as the second-in-command of the party. During the illness of General Secretary Andropov, he was responsible for steering the Soviets. Everyone knew that, in fact, Andropov won't be able to last long, and Chernenko will give Andropov a funeral soon.
"Next, we discuss the candidate for the Minister of Defense." Gotu continued.
"It's not good, it's not good." At this moment, a secretary rushed in in a panic.
