Chapter 203: The KGB's Approach

Brezhnev has a strength that is stronger than other cadres, at least much stronger than the current members of the Central Presidium, that is, Brezhnev understands more than anyone else, who may become his friend, and who will sooner or later be a threat to him.

Just as Serepin never recognized Brezhnev's ability, Brezhnev also felt that Serepin was just a rebellious person who regarded himself very highly.

At least the decision after taking over the KGB did not show how strong Xie Lieping was. The abolition of KGB cadres and the merger of the department were all failures from the perspective of the KGB. If the KGB were under the control of Brezhnev, he would definitely not do this.

The only place where Brezhnev admired Serepin was the so-called personal charm of Serepin. The cadres gathered around Serepin, including Tikunov, Semichasne and Selov, and Meshatsev, Golinov, and even Leningrad *************, Yegorechev, and Tolskykov formed a force that Brezhnev had to face, and this force expanded faster than Khrushchev's Ukrainian faction.

The Communist Youth League system was all over the Soviet Union, and the presence of the KGB industry in all walks of life. In addition, the two most important cities of the Soviet Union, Leningrad and Moscow, were friends of Sherepin. The propaganda department had Meshatsev and Golinov who helped Sherepin complete public opinion work. It seemed that this group with Sherepin as the core seemed to have taken shape. Other departments, Brezhnev, did not attach much importance to it, but the KGB department has always been in his focus.

Just when he was flying to Kazakhstan from Moscow, he started a typical Brezhnev-style conversation on the plane, asking Xie Lieping about his views on various levels of work through casual conversation. During the conversation, what do you think of Xie Lieping as a person? Xie Lieping is a very ostentatious person. This kind of person does not seem difficult to deal with in order to deal with Brezhnev, but Xie Lieping is also very nice to his friends. Not to mention doubt, he has never thought about this. Xie Lieping is not difficult to deal with. What is difficult to deal with is the huge group of cadres around Xie Lieping.

Even as a cadre, Brezhnev, talked with Serepin for a while, and Serepin's answer surprised him, "Seldom people like to work in the KGB. But Yuri is an exception. Apart from working in the KGB, he has no desire to get out of his post. If it weren't for his youth, the chairman of the National Security Council would be his..."

Xie Lieping's answer was not in disguise at all. It was as if the chairman of the National Security Council was not him now, and the meaning was like the KGB was not important. As long as Serov was training for a while, he could get out of the position.

Just kidding how this is possible? How could Xie Lieping give up the position of KGB chairman if he had no hope of promotion? It was just that when Xie Lieping had a bigger goal, he was used to handing over his original rights to his friends. For example, Xie Lieping, the current first secretary of the Communist Youth League, was. When Xie Lieping learned that he was going to take over from the Communist Youth League as the KGB chairman, he quickly transferred Xie Lieping from Azerbaijan to replace him and continue the work of the Communist Youth League.

Compared to Brezhnev's rights sharing, Xie Lieping tends to adopt the practice of dividing rights. He and Brezhnev are not the same person at all. Xie Lieping has a very meaning that you don't understand me, but I don't need to let you understand. Xie Lieping's friends all agree with this, but when Xie Lieping's friends look at the small circle of young cadres, it is easy to feel that Xie Lieping is also a believer in strong people's politics.

Of course, Selov felt the same way. No matter how Xie Lieping treats others, how unacceptable it is. But at least Xie Lieping has always taken good care of him and a large number of young cadres including Xie Michasne. As long as you can convince him to recognize your work, you will almost be subject to any restrictions at work and will also let Xie Lieping provide you with protection.

Report on the Intercontinental Missile Explosion of Baikonur Space Center. Brezhnev still fully listened to Serepin's opinions. With Selov's observation, when discussing with Serepin, the rhythm was in Brezhnev's hands from beginning to end.

"My boss is still too young. He is not the opponent of Brezhnev's old fox!" Shelov kept complaining. Sherepin's usual uncomfortable style. Brezhnev seemed to have not seen it, and still patiently did Xierepin's work. Finally, he spent some time convinced Xierepin to agree. When Khrushchev finished knocking on his leather shoes, he decided to deal with the missile explosion.

What a master! Selov feels that the first time he met Brezhnev, it is really worthwhile to have this trip. Who is responsible for this question? If Khrushchev is not wrong as the first secretary, then wouldn’t you be the person in charge who communicated with the Ministry of Defense be the direct person in charge? There is also Ustinov, Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Now Brezhnev has resolved half of the matter in just a few words. When Khrushchev really comes back, he probably won’t have any trouble. At most, he can scold Marshal Negelin.

"Shurik, we all understand that this matter is not that simple!" Brezhnev said in a punctual voice as he shouted Xie Lieping's nickname. It seemed like communication, but in fact he didn't say anything.

Brezhnev also had the intention of tempting Xie Leping's view of Khrushchev, but he stopped immediately. He did not have the ambition to peek at the highest authority because his current position is still far from the throne of the First Secretary. It was just like other cadres, he was a little dissatisfied with Khrushchev's increasingly paternalistic style recently.

Brezhnev's dissatisfaction was not just him. Even Xie Lieping, who was trusted by Khrushchev, was dissatisfied with the frequent roars of the First Secretary and the humiliation at the formal meetings. Serov had also heard of this.

"I agree with Comrade Brezhnev's suggestion. Wait until the First Secretary of the Kazakhstan comes back to deal with it!" Serepin nodded in agreement with Brezhnev's opinion. This behavior of his boss made Serepuff consider whether it would be better to find a more promising boss. For example, Comrade Khrushchev, the current First Secretary, is at least a communist with no selfishness, and has no shortcomings except for taking it for granted.

The final result was so pleasant after the two communicated. The Kazakhstan area was not unfamiliar with Brezhnev. The Dnepro gang was not all from Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture. The full name of this gang was the Dnepromoted gang. Most of the people in it were Brezhnev's subordinates when he was the secretary of the Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture and the first secretary of Moldavia. Some cadres were his subordinates who served as the first secretary of Kazakhstan. In other words, the land where Xie Lieping and the other two stood is also a base for Brezhnev...

Brezhnev came to Kazakhstan as the second secretary, completed Khrushchev's settlement policy, and eventually squeezed away the first secretary sent by Malenkov, and returned to the central government's realization through Kazakh success. As soon as he arrived in Kazakhstan, he heard the complaints of the current Kazakh first secretary Nikola Ilyich Belyaev. Brezhnev and Belyaev were not at the top and bottom. In terms of administration, the two were on the same level, but after working together for a while, they could be regarded as knowing each other.

"Ilych, you don't know that General Selov of the KGB came to Kazakhstan and checked the corn production report for the year today. He has already taken all the problems of our Kazakhstan in his hands!" Belyayev said with a very scratching his head. The KGB was directly responsible to the Central Presidium, which was only nominally, but actually to First Secretary Khrushchev himself. Otherwise, Belyayev could consider communicating with Selov.

"What? Is there a problem with the agriculture in Kazakhstan?" Brezhnev was shocked. Things in Ryazan Prefecture had just broken out. If there was a problem with Kazakhstan, no one knew what Khrushchev could do in anger. He thought about it for a moment and comforted him, "It's not too bad. I came with KGB Chairman Xie Lieping this time. You can see from Xie Lieping if the matter can be solved..."

Just as Selov returned to Almaty, he began to review Kazakh's agricultural reports. Before verification was completed, Brezhnev and Kazakh First Secretary Belyayev came to him, saying that he was concerned about the work of the KGB. Brezhnev even talked to him in his personal name.

"There is no problem with the agriculture in Kazakhstan. There are indeed two states that have insufficient corn production, but that is only the two states in the north have problems, and they have nothing to do with the agriculture in the entire Kazakhstan. The basic conditions here are good, and the vast land and sparse population are the main area of ​​our Soviet animal husbandry. Having said that, what I should really verify is the animal husbandry problem..." Shelov's look of how smart I was, which made Belyayev's heart that had just been relieved was improved again.

In the end, Brezhnev began to smooth things over, "Kazakhstan is a key animal husbandry area, and it supplies nearly half of the meat in the Soviet Union. I believe there must be no problem..."

"Just like Ryazan Prefecture? Given that there have been some false reports of production in the country in the past two years, I must check it out! And solve this problem!" Selov said in front of two big names, "Otherwise, our country's meat supply will still be very tight this year! Of course, we need to use some means belonging to the KGB..."
