This is not the first time Khrushchev has made a statement about retirement. On various occasions, he has met foreign ambassadors, took vacations at the beach, and even talked to local cadres. He has talked about when he should retire. Since two years ago, remarks about retirement have been increasing from Khrushchev's mouth. He accepted congratulations from other members of the Central Presidium on his birthday, while he has not forgotten to say this.

It can be said that among the members of the Central Presidium present, no one has heard of his topic of retirement and successors. But this is the first time that other members of the presidium have been called over and said they want to retire in front of all the members.

"Comrade Khrushchev, what are you talking about? Look at your own body, like a young man, you have strong energy and can continue to lead us." Brezhnev began to stay like a conditioned reflex.

Starting from Brezhnev, other members of the Central Presidium have spoken up, regardless of whether they are sincere or not. Anyway, this is not the first time they have faced this situation in recent years.

Khrushchev's energy was indeed pretty good. He was not like an old man in his twilight years. He was very happy about this kind of retention, but he shook his head firmly and said, "I know I am already in my seventies. Two years later, I am almost seventy-five years old. As the leader of a country, I am too old. The Soviet Union was led by an old man of seventy-five years, which is also an obstacle to the great image of our country. Moreover, I have always led this country, which will create the impression that the Soviet Union has no young cadres, which will make Americans blame us."

"I never thought I would lead this country until I die. I am not Stalin. I want to establish a new standard, different from the cruel elimination mechanism of Stalin. So I let Malenkov and Molotov go. I hope our career can develop with cadres of different ages." Khrushchev no longer had the arrogance of slapping the table at the United Nations General Assembly, nor was he the strong and arrogant person he usually scolded other members in the Central Presidium. He was more like an ordinary old man, "I regard you all as my friends and comrades. Sometimes I am more likely to get angry, I'm sorry."

"During my tenure, there were many problems in the Soviet Union, but today I must say that strong control like Stalin would not work in peaceful times. The people would not endure endless patience. Of course, excessive easing also arises some problems. I have also seen that my reforms have not been successful, but they have not all failed." Khrushchev said sadly, "At my age, I may not see the day when we completely defeated the United States, but I am willing to lay a foundation for you. My old friends have all left. I don't know if Comrade Toriarty can overcome this difficulty."

However, this year was not all good news. Morris Dorez, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee, died on the Lithuanian ship. At this time, he was on vacation in the Mediterranean; Grotif, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Democratic Republic of Germany, passed away. The Italian Council of Ministers and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, suddenly collapsed at a Young Pioneer event and is now in rescue. The Soviet government had just expressed condolences for two days. These Communists who had close contact with Khrushchev passed away one by one, which would inevitably bring him some sadness.

"Are the First Secretary a little sad? We communists should not be addicted to sadness. If it is because some foreign comrades passed away, they feel a little depressed, I can understand it very much. I think the First Secretary can consider taking a month off to get rid of this emotion. After relaxing for a while, they are talking about this issue." Selov said, "Comrades Morris Doles and Comrade Grottivo have gone through the journey of life. Although we are a little sad, we should not be affected. First Secretary, I will accompany you to the Soviet Union and let you see the current country."

"Okay, I believe Comrade Brezhnev, Comrade Kosigin, Comrade Xierepin can manage the entire country while I rest, so I will take a month off." Khrushchev nodded and agreed to Serov's proposal.

Brezhnev left as usual, thinking in the car, which made Kirilianko next to him feel a little angry and dared not breathe. He had never seen Brezhnev appear like this before.

"Ilic, what were you thinking just now?" After arriving at home, Kirirenko asked about the doubts in his heart.

"I was wondering if I would retire by myself when I was in my seventies!" Brezhnev answered his comrades seriously. The answer was no, unless he also created a group of young people who supported him like Khrushchev promoted Xie Lieping. But this is impossible. These people will support Xie Lieping first.

Brezhnev is now a weak second secretary. Of course, he is the heir chosen by Khrushchev, but among the members of the Central Presidium, Kosigin and his left and right assistants occupy three positions. Although Xie Lieping is just himself, he is the highest among the three in terms of the support of the Central Committee. Brezhnev seems to be not taking advantage of any level, and he is even the one who suffers losses.

At this time, Selov was very consistent with one sentence, or not one sentence but a few sentences, such as using the emperor to command the princes, or pretending to be a tiger's power, or taking the first secretary out to relax, he felt like he was taking you to show off and fly.

"It is a good choice to go out and take a walk. The old man should combine work and rest. Isn't it much better now?" Selov accompanied Khrushchev in Sochi, a resort resort next to the Black Sea, enjoying the good climate here. Sochi was defined in the Soviet Union as a resort city, and it welcomed people from all over the Soviet Union every year. No matter when, there were people here.

Of course, the KGB is currently working on establishing a tourist route in Indonesia, and the environment in Indonesia is more suitable for vacation. Unfortunately, Selov was guarding against someone to kill him every day in Indonesia, and he had not even gone out several times. Now he can bring the results of the time back to the Soviet Union.

"If Comrade Toriarti can't bear it this time, will Italy return to the arms of the United States?" Khrushchev, with a relaxed expression, seemed to have gotten rid of his sadness. When asked this question, he did not have personal feelings.

"Maybe, but the Communist Party's rule over the years has not been ineffective. First of all, the investigation of Catholicism in Italy has been half and half, and the remaining half of the Italians are not very sincere. They believe that religion is a carrier of traditional culture. Moreover, Italy has been rapidly becoming Yugoslavia for more than ten years, and neutralism is very obvious. Italy has almost established the political structure of two major parties, and the United States cannot eliminate this influence in a short time." Selov knew that the Communist Party of these countries will ultimately depend on who the winners of the Soviet Union and the United States.

Once a force supported by the Soviet Union comes to power, it will never go down. How could a country not make any mistakes? Even if he has memory to take action, he still cannot avoid all mistakes. Otherwise, Lumumba of Congo would not die. Today's Congo should be a pro-Soviet country. But the key point is that he forgot about this country at that time, so where can he reason about it?

Under the eyes of the four major clusters of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the Communists in Western European countries lived a comfortable life. This is a treatment that socialists in other countries do not have. The millions of troops of the United States and the Soviet Union in Europe forced the two countries to talk and laugh and be hypocrites there, and shout peace in their mouths.

"Father, Ruby Yangka sent a message." Khrushchev's son Sergei came in and said. The two immediately followed Khrushchev in. This was a dedicated confidential telephone number from the Soviet Union. This telephone number was also used in China, which is both socialist. It is used for communication of secret matters. Because they are all red, it is commonly known as "red machine". Only important leaders at the ministerial level or above can be equipped at home. Khrushchev's son Sergei picked up the phone. The other party was not very familiar with the voice and wanted to find Sergei.

This kind of phone call is naturally not completely flawless. As long as Selov thinks, he can fully know the red phone communication content.

"Comrade Toriarty died of illness, alright!" Khrushchev sighed, "I don't know how the relationship between Italy and our Soviet Union will develop in the future."

"We have already figured out what we should understand. In the future, our strength exceeds that of the United States, and those so-called allies will naturally turn!" Selov refers to the light industrial product technology obtained by the Soviet Union by building factories in Italy. At least there is no obvious difference in technology between the two countries now.

Khrushchev, who was cultivated in Sochi, expressed his condolences to the death of the Italian Council of Ministers and the Italian Communist Party General Secretary, Comrade Parimirotoriati, as the first secretary of the Soviet Union and the chairman of the Council of Ministers. In recent months, Khrushchev has bid farewell to several foreign Communist leaders. It may be that the death of these foreign Communist leaders has caused Khrushchev to have the idea of ​​retirement.

Selov, who followed Khrushchev from Sochi, was asked instantly whether Khrushchev had changed his mind. Selov's answer was all shook his head, saying that he did not ask Khrushchev if he really wanted to retire.

Khrushchev answered this question himself. He did not change his attention and said that he had decided to retire in two years. He hoped that in the remaining two years, the members of other central presidiums would unite and burst out with the greatest energy. He himself was like seeing whether the Soviet leadership after retirement would lead the country well. (To be continued.)
