A seagull car parked at the door of Khrushchev's villa. Selov, wearing military boots, stepped down. The cadres responsible for defending Khrushchev quickly came over and told his immediate superiors. Since Khrushchev retired, life here has been relatively calm. In addition to the May Day parade, Victory Day parade and October Revolution anniversary, Khrushchev usually goes for a walk in some places in the suburbs.

"Comrade Khrushchev has been in a relatively weak spirit since he came back and has not been in good condition these days." The security cadre in charge of Khrushchev is not old, after all, this is a relatively boring position. He asked a young and strong cadre to do it and exiled the other party. Therefore, the guards here are generally recruits, and the leader is also a cadre under thirty years old.

"It's normal to be a little uncomfortable when you're old. Go in and take a look!" Selov sighed and asked if Zinev wanted to be together. The two of them entered this very nice courtyard. After the retirement of the first secretary, many retired cadres would come to see him. Migoyan, who is also in leadership positions often comes to Migoyan, followed by Brezhnev and Serepin, and Kosykin will come once a year. As for Suslov, he has never been there.

Charles de Gaulle had already passed away last year, and now the French government is a government that is in power with the Socialist Party. Last year, there was also Indonesia's Sukarno. After Sukarno's death, Indonesia has become a completely socialist country, and now it is Indonesia. The number of Indonesians is close to eight million, and the proportion of Indonesian natives has reached half, becoming the most trusted ally of the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia.

Also dead is Nasser of Egypt. Egypt is now collectively led by a committee. As for Sadat, who was supposed to succeed Nasser, he encountered an accident when he visited Sudan and the plane died on the spot. Last year, Selov could be said to be the most important task of working outside the world, using various means to consolidate the pro-Soviet factions among the Soviet allies, and preparing for the upcoming full-scale offensive. Without a solid base, the offense will naturally be unsustainable.

All these things were done. The only thing that was not very successful was that Italy failed to take office for the second time. This caused the smooth KGB to suffer a significant blow for the first time. It was a flaw in 1970.

"My father is not in good spirits recently and the doctor can't say that, so he said that he is old and needs rest." Khrushchev's son Sergei Khrushchev said when he saw the visitor that Sergei Khrushchev had a good relationship with Meshatsev and Yegorechev. He once said that it would take long for Xie Lieping to take charge of the overall situation. Now it seems that this prophecy has failed.

"I want to go in and take a look," Selov said after hearing this, "Comrade Zinev, have a chat with Sergei. Maybe we will encounter this situation after we retire, and then we will be visited."

What does Khrushchev say now? On the surface, it seems similar to three years ago, which is related to his ability to take it and let it go. Khrushchev was extremely uncomfortable in the first half of his retirement, but it got much better after that. He started to go out to play frequently, and he made his own suggestions to some young leaders from time to time, and under the care of the KGB, he would usually be followed. Of course, these suggestions are the same as before, some are indeed good, and some are even worse after implementation. These situations are reported to Khrushchev, and the old man is quite happy.

"Yuri is here? I really envy you. Among the members of the Central Presidium, you are still so energetic." Khrushchev, who was lying on the top, was just weak and seemed not to see Marx right away.

"Come here, come and see the old man!" Selov joked, took off a sharp Damascus steel knife from his belt and skillfully peeled the apples. This was the first time I got when I went to Egypt. The original owner of the knife also passed away last year. After a while, she peeled the apples and handed them to the former first secretary in front of him.

Khrushchev was very happy, like an ordinary old man, and although Selov came frequently since he retired, he was able to talk to him as before. This attitude made him very happy. The two of them spoke without any scruples, and Khrushchev would also say some of his dissatisfaction with the Soviet policy. Of course, Selov would then say these words to Brezhnev.

Maybe he was in a good mood after seeing Selov, and Khrushchev quickly finished chewing the apple. He has always been in good health. When he was the first secretary, he usually worked for more than ten hours a day. Although he has no energy now, it is just a normal aging phenomenon. Khrushchev, who has recovered some energy, started chatting with Selov and asked if there was anything recently.

"The situation in Afghanistan over the past year is somewhat unfavorable to us. This may be the best thing to not deal with. This country is right next to us. A group of religions in the medieval era dominates, which makes us dare not intervene rashly." Selov thought about this problem. Last year, on the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth, students from major universities in Afghanistan launched a massive commemoration event, which angered the religious forces in Afghanistan and fierce conflict broke out.

After the conflict is over, both sides may not tolerate the existence of each other. It can be said that the showdown between the forces of Afghanistan has begun in 1970. Although there seems to be no major conflict in Afghanistan this year, Afghan pro-Soviet forces must be trying to find ways to seize power.

Selov talked about this matter. Another thing he could not say is that in Iraq, the KGB gathered more than a dozen countries' security departments to deal with the entire Iraq in a fragmented manner. Each country responded to a province and began to attack religious forces. For this matter, the KGB spent two years investigating it and set up a list of anti-counterfeiting with more than 20 standards and up to 100,000 places. After the October Revolution commemoration last year, it took action at the same time and arrested more than 70,000 people in one week. For this reason, the KGB also allocated huge sums to copy a Kazan prison in Baghdad specifically detain these people.

This sudden action, under the command of the Soviet military advisory group in Iraq, almost at the beginning, captured all important figures from the two major Iraqi sects in the beginning, and rebellions also appeared at the same time, and rebellions appeared in two provinces. However, after evaluation, the Soviet Union did not believe that this could shake Iraq's rule.

"We have been giving it assistance to Afghanistan since its founding, but we still hope that this country will be stable. This country does not have to be like us. As long as it is not messing around, it will be of the greatest help to us." Khrushchev said, and at this time he found the feeling of being the first secretary again, and then asked domestic questions.

Selov also answered Khrushchev's question, but his absent-minded look made Khrushchev feel that things seemed not simple and asked, "Did the increase in Brezhnev's authority make you a little worried?"

Brezhnev did nothing for three years, and he abolished the position of the second secretary and raised the position of the central secretary who was responsible for the thoughts. The fact that the second secretary is Suslov, but this is different from the second secretary back then. At the 24th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the title of the first secretary was directly abolished. Although many people think that the first secretary is no different from the general secretary, the biggest change is that Brezhnev used the position of General Secretary to end the discussion about who was the successor.

Brezhnev told the Soviet cadres that Xie Lieping and the same generation of leaders. The two had an equal comradeship relationship, which looked very good, but it also meant telling others that Xie Lieping could not replace him.

Khrushchev thought about this expression of wanting to speak but stopping, and understood Selov's difficulties, shook his head and said, "The main reason is that you and Xie Lieping are still able to maintain authority in the Central Presidium, so there is no problem with all this. I believe you can..."

In fact, Selov couldn't do it. He could ensure his stable status. In an earlier proposal, Selepin once proposed at a meeting that Selepin had joined the Central Presidium, but was rejected by Brezhnev and Kosigin. Both of them felt that Selepin was a bit unacceptable.

Even Polyyansky, the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, once called Serepin's friend the shadow cabinet. After Selov found out about this, he directly gave the first vice chairman a warning at the meeting of the Central Bureau of the Central Bureau. The two started arguing at the meeting, but Brezhnev was always doing peace and ending the quarrel at that time.

Since that time, Brezhnev has raised this incident several times, saying that the rumors of Communist Youth League cadres seizing power should be completely cracked down, and he will not believe that Shurik is not good for him. He mentioned the importance of unity several times at the meetings of the Central Presidium.

"The first secretary, in fact, you are the one who can keep the Soviet Union moving forward in collective leadership. As long as you stay healthy, there is no problem." Before Selov left, he left a sentence with a pun. Khrushchev retired himself in this history, which is something that the whole Soviet Union knew. Brezhnev's cautious personality would definitely not start to exclude dissidents when Khrushchev was alive, because his legitimacy came from Khrushchev's retirement, but if Khrushchev died, this matter would be impossible.

"Thank you for your blessing, young man." Khrushchev nodded, pretending not to hear the subtitle of Selov's words.

"How can we strengthen the determination of Brezhnev to the end of the United States?" Selov, who returned to Ruby Yangka, thought about this question. Perhaps at this time, the Soviet Union needed a traitor. (To be continued.)
