Chapter 245 Rights and Status

Ustinov and the other three just accepted Brezhnev's invitation to visit. Brezhnev, known for his carefulness, would not ask too many sensitive questions during the party. The skills in the conversation were more cautious than when Xierepin talked to his friends.

"Shurik became the secretary this time and became the youngest secretary of our Central Presidium. What do you think? The age and strength of the party are growing. Shurik is a comrade with strong energy. I don't know what changes it will bring to our Secretariat!" On the surface, Brezhnev would never say anything wrong with others, and it is the same now. What's more, Ustinov, Gromiko, and Andropov are far from people in his own circle.

Today, I called these three people, just to ask them about their views on the man of Sherepin in such a private occasion. I had a communication in the name of gay feelings. Brezhnev did not pose as the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and his way of talking was easy to accept.

"Comrade Xie Lieping? He is a very enthusiastic person. I don't have much contact with him, but it can be seen that he is a very strong person, both on the surface and from the heart!" Andropov gave his evaluation with a scholarly temperament. "Among Xie Lieping's friends, I am only a little familiar with his current deputy General Serov. My evaluation of Serov is that his enthusiasm for safety work is almost more than everyone else, just like that..."

"I think so too. Sherepin can manage the KGB so well. His deputy who entered the KGB work very early played a big role! I can also see this!" Brezhnev nodded and said.

Brezhnev also had some thoughts about Serepin being promoted to the Secretariat by Khrushchev this time, but it was not serious. The main reason is that Kozlov's status in the Soviet Union is becoming more and more stable, and Brezhnev has already accepted his fate. At least from the moment, except for Kozlov's sudden death, he would have no chance. Will Kozlov die suddenly? Brezhnev will not think about this possibility. You must know that Kozlov is younger than him.

"It can be seen that the first secretary is accelerating the energy of young cadres in their main positions. This promotion of Xie Lieping is an obvious evidence!" Gromike took a sip of water naturally. "There are few friends around Xie Lieping who are older than him. Xie Michasne and Xie Luov are even in their thirties. It seems that the first secretary attaches great importance to those young people! And this promotion of Xie Lieping is equivalent to telling the whole party!"

In fact, Gromiko was less than fifty years old when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs. At that time, he was completely a young and promising cadre, but compared with whom, he was also a very old man.

Promoting Sherepin is an obvious signal. Khrushchev is preparing to train a group of new people in the Soviet power structure, which is very new. Chernenko, Gihonov and Kirilenko are naturally the leader of Brezhnev. But for friends such as Andropov, Ustinov and Gromiko, their opinions are also very important.

These people are not like the group of people who are all obeying Serepin's arrangements. Brezhnev still needs to listen carefully to different opinions, even if he and these people are not in the same group. This is also the concept that Brezhnev has always adhered to. Even if he is suppressed so badly by Kozlov, he still has not given up.

"But since Xie Lieping has entered the Secretariat, the Chairman of the National Security Council should be given up. Who do you think is the successor? Will the current first vice chairman Selov? He is a confidant promoted from Azerbaijan!" Ustinov suddenly remembered this question and looked at the people around him.

"Shelov? He seems to be born in 1927, and he is less than thirty-five now! It won't be so fast, right?" Kirilenko said in disbelief. "A side-level department with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let such a young man be the chairman?"

"This is not necessarily true. Don't forget that Xie Lieping was just 40 years old when he took over as Chairman of the National Security Commission three years ago. When Xie Michasne, the first secretary of the Communist Youth League behind him, was the first secretary, he was as old as Selov's current age!" Chernenko was a little jealous when he spoke, and the group of people on the opposite side were simply too young.

"The most likely situation is that Semichasne takes over Serepin's position. Serepin continues to serve as the first vice chairman. The two are in Azerbaijan with superiors and subordinates. If Serepin makes such arrangements, neither of them will be dissatisfied!" Brezhnev sorted out the relationship between Serepin and those of Serepin and finally reached this conclusion.

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone else was stunned, with a contemplative look on their faces. Brezhnev's idea made a lot of sense when he thought about it carefully. It was the most appropriate decision to consider this arrangement from the perspective of interpersonal relationships.

"Yes. This is the most reasonable arrangement. I wonder if Sherepin thinks so too!" Andropov first agreed to the analysis of the Supreme Soviet Chairman, which made Brezhnev very satisfied. Layouting from interpersonal relationships was a compelling ability for him, and he felt that Sherepin would not exceed this range.

Because Xie Lieping became the secretary of the Secretariat. Tonight, many people in Moscow did not go to bed early, but were considering the changes. Don’t ask why Selov knew this. This was all about seeing Fuerteva associate it after his home. Seeing Fuerteva who was having a happy chat with his wife, you can tell if you think about it a little bit that even a member of the Central Committee’s presidium without power can do anything, what about the others?

"Yuri, I heard you were visiting Comrade Xie Lieping?" Forteva asked with a smile when she saw Selov coming back.

This attitude is neither superior nor inferior. After all, Forteva is a formal member of the Central Presidium, an idol of women in the whole alliance, and still shows the image of equality between men and women. Of course, there is no need to be inferior, but she only has these auras. In addition to these auras, she is a member of the Central Presidium without a basic foundation. When Khrushchev did not trust this woman, she would not even have a chance to make a comeback.

"Well, the old secretary just sent me back. I wanted him to come in and sit down!" Shelov answered while taking off his military coat, rejecting Valia's help and said, "Take care well and don't do these meaningless things!"

Few men would hide under the wings of Forteva. Those who want to climb up can choose Suslov, Kozlov, Brezhnev, etc., even if they choose Sherepin, they would not choose her. This is the embarrassing thing about Forteva, but this has no psychological burden for Serov. He has received full education of men and women in later generations, and to a certain extent, he was distorted by the situation where there are more men and fewer women in China, so he respects women very much, as long as the other party is higher than his own.

Serov accepted all the goodwill of Forteva. After all, the other party was also a formal member of the Central Presidium. He had rights, but he had no power to help her exert this right. It took a long time for the two parties to chat, and then the Serov and his wife sent the woman home.

"How do you feel? You guys have been treated solemnly by others!" Valia skillfully operated the steering wheel, and while she didn't forget to chat with her husband to see if Selov was so proud.

"This is not a good thing. We are a group of guys with rights but no status. Forteva has status but no rights. Only when the old secretary really gains a foothold in the Central Presidium can our building not collapse!" Shelov said with his neck tilted. From the surface, Xie Lieping and others are all the top leaders of many important departments. The rights of a group of people together are amazing, but in fact, what about? The serious mismatch between rights and status. Before Belia was killed, she was nominally the second-ranked person, but in fact she had greater rights than anyone else.

What about Shereping now? There are at least a dozen people above him. They can indeed surpass most members of the Central Presidium in power, but their status is far behind. Khrushchev seriously lowered the status of the KGB. The rights of the KGB security cadres are still the same, but their status is far inferior to those of Beria. At that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the second-ranked minister, and the current KGB chairman was not even the tenth.

The meeting at the beginning of the year raised Xie Lieping's level, and from the side, the KGB level also improved. This was welcomed by the entire KGB. After the results of this meeting were made public, almost all the security cadres of the KGB congratulated Xie Lieping, because they seemed to have discovered the hope of changing their rights and status from Xie Lieping.

At the meeting of the KGB Presidium, Xie Lieping accepted congratulations from all members and then began the meeting.

"A one-month campaign to crack down on criminal crimes, the whole alliance arrested 28,000 people who were released from repeated admonitions. According to the standards set by the National Security Conference, nearly 70% of the people need to be reentered in prisons and serve their sentences!" Serov read the national statistics of the campaign and said, "The results are very obvious. The social security of the entire alliance is new, and it seems to be quite effective!"

"So many people? It seems that our education is really unsuccessful!" Xie Lieping said with sighing. (To be continued.)
