"I didn't expect that when you were free, you felt like you had lost your energy. It was really uncomfortable to see you like this. I would have found something to do if I had known it..." Moscow Central General Hospital, Selov, sitting in front of the hospital bed, was carefully peeling the apple, while the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko lying on the hospital bed. According to history, Gromiko had lived for a while longer.

"People always have such a day. I am lucky than many people to see this change that is beneficial to us!" Gromiko looked at the ceiling with a relieved smile, smiling leisurely, "What is our struggle for the rest of our lives? A person with ideals is just completing one goal after another in his life?"

"It's right, even a mediocre person is achieving his goal, but it's big or small." Selov handed the peeled apple to the other party and felt a little empathetic. If he was still in the Northeast, the goal he accomplished was nothing more than the things that ordinary people pursued, such as a car house wife. Of course, if he was not lucky, he might go to beg for food. Who can tell the thing about fate clearly?

Gromiko said very freely, "No matter whether I can come here for a break this time, I have no regrets. Of course, you are even more lucky than me. I have seen changes that are beneficial to us. You may be able to witness the establishment of the order belonging to the working class. Now you have no opponents in the world."

"There is no visible opponent. Our true opponent of the Soviet Union is invisible. We all understand where the real opponent is, thinking! Why is Comrade Suslov called the Second Secretary? We all know one thing, the only thing that can really cause a fatal blow to us is the interior!" Selov laughed and turned to a low voice, "Don't talk about ordinary people, we have not made ourselves without flaws. Comrade Suslov, there is only one."

"Actually, I have a problem. Are you afraid that after you retire or die of illness, conflicts between security departments and administrative cadres have erupted? You have been strengthening the authority of the security system from the 1960s to now. The entire Soviet Union has not served as the leader of the same department for so long. The security system is too strong. Is it a good or a bad thing for us?" Gromiko asked the question that had troubled him for a long time. This question he urgently wanted to know, or it was his wish.

"I am always afraid that our supreme leader will become a person with a weak will. You also know that our General Secretary has much more rights than the US president, so we need to establish a powerful department that gathers police, intelligence, military power, and supervision departments, so that the General Secretary must consider the consequences of being a traitor. I don't know whether it will be successful." Shelov, who was passionate at the beginning, was instantly discouraged, but immediately said, "After considering, I think that as long as the General Secretary wants to demolish such a department, it can still be done as long as he takes some time. So sharing part of his rights to other members of the Central Presidium is another way."

"Has the Supreme Leader become a traitor?" Gromiko thought, thinking, thinking that this was just an excuse for Selov to gain power. How could a general secretary become a traitor? What reason does he have to do this? Idiot?

The Stavropol Krai region has sneezed several times in a row in a map head that is modifying the government report.

Selov didn't know that he had become a benchmark for conserving power in Gromiko's thinking, but he could not do anything to this old man. He was so old that Gromiko no longer cared about his personal interests, and he was almost at the end.

The Russian New Year in 1990 just passed, and news was published on the large page of the Communist Youth League's Prater of Truth. Foreign Minister Gromiko passed away, and Serov, Jihonov, Ligachev and other party and state leaders expressed grief. The Soviet Union had a three-day holiday to express condolences.

"After one year, I will formally establish the term of office of the Central Presidium and write it into the Constitution. The term of office of the General Secretary and the Central Presidium is six years, and can be re-elected for one term, equivalent to three US presidents. From next year's National Congress, every time the next five-year plan is implemented, one year will be used as an adjustment period in the sixth year. The five-plus-one model is used to ensure the smooth progress of the five-year plan, and the name of the external name remains unchanged." Serov held his cheek with one hand and said to himself, "Some plans cannot be completed within ten years. A too short term is very unfavorable to the development of the long-term plan. Moreover, the development of the Soviet Union has reached a certain stage. With the continuous advancement of the five-year plan, we will eventually find a year to supplement the problem, which is what we can consider."

"I personally agree with the General Secretary. We must consider that in the ninth five-year plan, some areas of our field were unable to complete the tasks issued by the central government on a large scale!" Ligachev said of the situation in the late 1970s, when the Soviet Union's five-year plan indicators fell sharply, but because of the Soviet Union's aggressive attacks around the world, supplemented the domestic problems at that time. Once the foreign offense was unfavorable and could not be counter-added to the domestic situation, this problem was exposed.

The five-year plan is of great significance to the Soviet Union. This year is also the last year of the 12th Five-Year Plan. The task of the 13th Five-Year Plan has begun to be formulated. Of course, Selov has to join the discussion. In history, the last year of the 12th Five-Year Plan of the Soviet Union did not see any information about this five-Year Plan. Even the national development plan and the budget for the nine-year year were not submitted to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union for discussion, and the work of formulating the 13th Five-Year Plan was postponed. All this proves that it is not the failure of reform, but that the reform has completely destroyed the political structure of the Soviet Union.

"We need to quickly promote the coverage of computers across the country. This is originally in the five-year plan. Blindly expanding production is no longer very suitable for our motherland. Today's world is completely different from the harsh situation faced by the Soviet Union forty years ago. We cannot ignore the issue of production costs. Oil in the Middle East is lower than ours, which is lower, which is lower, rare metals in Congo and copper mines in Chile are more concentrated, which is more concentrated, and the pace of foreign cooperative enterprises must also accelerate." Serov thought for a moment, "For the consideration of confrontation, we have always actively exported revolutions. With the improvement of the external environment, we no longer need to do this. Mediating the problems in our motherland itself is more important than other problems."

"Our future foreign work must prove the superiority of socialism, but not to actively prove anything. Our country is getting better and better, and it is a role model in itself. We have never lacked military power. We can slow down appropriately in this regard, not to cut military spending or disarmament, but to invest funds into the guarantee of soldiers and improve the living environment of our Red Army soldiers! In fact, we have a lot of tasks to look closely, and this has not yet considered whether the United States will suddenly return and find trouble for us, although this possibility is not great." Selov made a thoughtful statement. Now he has really begun to learn to be the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, rather than the Chairman of the Soviet National Security Council.

"Do we want to cut apart from the Socialist International?" Second Secretary Ligachev raised this question.

"It will be a matter of time before we cut them. The whole Western Europe is dead and the most energetic are the peacemakers. Maybe we will rescue them in many years!" Selov closed his eyes and thought, "But it's not now. This matter will still ferment for a while. I'll say the same thing, keep our own problems in mind."

"Since we fought in the Middle East and the United States, it seems that the entire Central Bureau has become very energetic." Serov smiled at the other committee members, "Comrades, can we consider our successor now? I don't doubt your ability at all, but I don't want Comrade Gromiko to happen to the second time. Going forward, Ustinov, Chernenko, Kosigin, Andropov, Brezhnev and many other comrades died in office. They have not been away from work for a day, but they actually have some debts to their families."

"In the future, we will start looking for the next generation of cadres. We have plenty of time to observe whether they are reliable, but now we can start." Selov did not urge this question, nor was he going to let the old men start to get out, he gave him enough time.

Romanov, Grishen and others did not object, it was indeed time. They also knew in their hearts that sooner or later, Selov had given them time to observe themselves, and they had no reason to object.

Overall, the plenary meeting of the Central Soviet Presidium was still spent in a very relaxed state, just like a celebration banquet. In the evening, Selov invited everyone to visit his home and brought the most powerful group of Soviet Union from the Kremlin to his home. Only the General Secretary had such great face.

"I must have a good sleep tonight!" After all the guests said goodbye, Selov walked to the kitchen, holding Valia from behind, squinted his eyes and said in his wife's ear.

"I've achieved a decisive victory. Are you feeling relaxed?" Valia felt the smell of alcohol coming from her ears and sniffled helplessly, "Your alcohol tolerance is very poor, it seems that you are really relaxed."

"I finally deserve my oath under the red flag. I'm happy to think about it. You don't know how many lives and ideals I saved. Now I think I'm great." Shelov, who was confused, muttered, "There are too many people, more people killed than I do because of my spy. According to the standards of Orthodox Church, I should be sacred."
