"I have kept the greatest tradition of trying to get Gruu. Is it that you can deal with me in reverse?" Selov tilted his head and looked at Alexei and said, "Yes, few people know that Brezhnev had a second stroke in Mongolia. I saved him. The extension of this visit to Mongolia is that the General Secretary is recovering. I have strictly blocked the news, and others don't know."

"I just say that in recent years, your support for Sherepin is obviously different from before. Although you are still trying your best to maintain the collective leadership, you are acting like you are being restrained. It's not that I look down on Zinev, Zvegon and Sherokov, they can't check and balance you at all." Alexe took a deep breath and sat down, "You have always had a good relationship with Sherepin. Why is this happening?"

"We have all changed. Shurik is almost sixty years old. Some of his ideas have changed. This is why he has been checked and balanced in the past two years." Serov shrugged, "Now his thoughts are completely different from ten years ago."

If it were now, Serepin would be more tough to come to power, and there would be no change. Khrushchev's idea of ​​abolishing the lifelong system of cadres, Serepin, like Brezhnev, would selectively forget. At that time, Xierepin was only in his forties, and his lifelong system of cadres would not impact him. On the contrary, there was a threat to the older Brezhnev. Now Serepin's age has successfully entered the situation that Brezhnev encountered, and his ideas naturally changed.

"Do you think if Serepin replaced Brezhnev, he would probably be in power for twenty or thirty years?" Alexe took a deep breath and said leisurely, "It's not that there is no possibility. Maybe twenty years later the country will still be under his leadership."

But Alexe asked with a thoughtful look, "When you reach your age almost sixty, will you also want to be the general secretary for life? I think you can't escape the vicious circle of thinking change."

"I said I don't know, believe it or not." I have money, and Selov, as the first corruption, has already arranged his backing. The KGB will play a greater role in the future, fulfilling the responsibilities he should have done and prevent the Soviet Union from discoloring.

"Otherwise, our anti-counterfeiting workers are just a little bloody. Real politics has greater side effects than us." Alexe was not concerned about this issue. In his opinion, Selov was more and more concerned about politics, and he began to become cautious about politics, and he didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing. Thinking of the scene when this young man talked about their Ministry of Internal Affairs twenty years ago, and looking at the current KGB, the ridiculous feeling became stronger.

"Since I'm here, I'll finish my meal and leave. Now I don't know if I'm saving him in Mongolia. I had no choice at that time. Once he died from Mongolia, you have to know that I'm the biggest suspect. Who knows how other Central Presidium Committees treat me? This is the reason why I have to save him." Shelov seemed to remember that night half a month ago. He really hesitated for a while, and finally he rushed to rescue Brezhnev.

Now that all this is useless, everyone has been saved, can we go back and do it again? After a while, Valia got off work and made a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, Alexe left Selov's house.

Watching the woman clean up the dishes, Sherov, who had something to do, stood up and went into the kitchen to work hard with the woman. The process was very dull, just like a normal family. After cleaning the kitchen, the two of them went upstairs and returned to the bedroom together.

"There is still something, Alexe rarely comes here. When he comes, he has something to discuss with you." A ray of wisdom flashed in Valia's eyes, sitting next to her husband. The two have been married for twenty years, and she could feel something in her heart at once.

"Yes, something is wrong, I feel a little uneasy." After thinking for a while, he decided not to hide it from his wife. It was still too tiring to hide it from everyone's words. He always had to have a partner to talk to.

"No one owes anyone to anyone when you reminded Yegorechev. When Xie Lieping reminded Yegorechev, he did not turn the defeat. He lost Leningrad and Moscow continuously and could only protect himself. This is not your mistake." Valia hugged her husband's head and whispered, "You have helped him so much, but other members of the Central Presidium generally have doubts about Xie Lieping, let alone you said that compared to ten years ago, his thinking has changed. If he really came to power, it would be no different from Brezhnev, and it would be even more difficult to deal with."

"Haha! Queen, are you comforting me? In fact, I don't dare to let Brezhnev die in an environment where he is only present. If he dies and is exploited by others, it is difficult to guarantee that the fate of several ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not fall on my head." Selov lowered his head and rubbed against the woman's arms and said, "Actually, I am just protecting myself."

"It's nothing wrong with self-protection. Do you have to take risks for Xie Lieping? Why? I don't want to!" Valia comforted her husband. Her position depends entirely on which side of her husband is. She doesn't think about other things, nor does she want to think about them. It's not something that a woman should care about.

"If there are a few opponents, it is not impossible to try it. The key is that this kind of opposition is common. Maybe Shurik is really not as good as the General Secretary." Selov sighed. Even now, he admires Xie Lieping's own self-discipline. This time, no matter whether it is for self-protection, selfishness or some reason, he did miss an opportunity, and it may be the only opportunity for Xie Lieping to be the General Secretary.

During a visit to Mongolia, at a banquet held by Mongolian Head of State Yuzedenbar, Brezhnev said: "We are right to pay special attention to the Asian issue, including the most complex issues. Can these issues be solved? Our answer is yes. On the basis of good neighborliness and true respect for the principles of sovereignty and equality in other countries, and to prepare for the future and achieve constructive dialogue, we should gradually and persevere in establishing relations. Any country that deals with such issues in this way can look forward to our understanding."

In fact, Selov understood that Brezhnev's conversation in Mongolia was not about Mongolia, but about China now. During the Soviet parade, the US delegation was visiting China. Brezhnev was trying to avoid China from turning to the United States, but it happened that he had a stroke after the speech, and he was not lucky.

The next morning, Selov went to Brezhnev's office in the Kremlin. How much impact did the two strokes have on the other side? It is not very obvious from the surface, but Brezhnev seems to be more taciturn than before.

"Yura, with your relationship with Shurik, you can never save me." Brezhnev asked in a low voice after being silent for a long time, "Shurik has always regarded himself very highly and believes that only he himself deserves the position of General Secretary. If you block the news of my illness, Shurik may have lost a chance."

"As long as you have time, everything will be fine. Shurik has many supporters and more opponents. He is a good person and a fair person. I support him very much, so I tend to favor his suggestions on some issues. I also know the situation of us young people, and many people are not convinced by us." Shelov looked at the General Secretary who had just saved twice, paused and said, "Since the First Secretary Khrushchev chose you as the General Secretary, then you should be the General Secretary."

"The Warsaw Pact Joint Warsaw will be held tomorrow, go and prepare for it." Brezhnev ordered with some fatigue. Sure strokes will of course affect him. He is more tired than before and needs more rest time.

When Selov left the office, Brezhnev sat on a chair and slowly murmured to himself, "Khrushchev? He destroyed Stalin's reputation and caused instability in Eastern Europe. Is it worthy of such a high evaluation? Just because he is a true Communist?"

The Warsaw Pact Joint Warsaw Pact was held in the context of the Soviet Union's great victory over Turkey. Compared with previous meetings, it seemed to be more victorious. Brezhnev attended the meeting with his newly recovered body and expressed his importance to the Soviet Union and the entire Warsaw Pact.

"What is different from previous meetings is that the threat to our allies' Near East has disappeared. At the same time, the Romanian People's Army, the Bulgarian People's Army, and the Greek Welfare Army, can be said that our advantage in the entire NATO is unprecedented. Moreover, we had to face the two threats of the South and the West. Now there is only one threat in the West, and the troops are easier to concentrate. If we use the current situation as a reasoning, we can say without hesitation that we are in an absolute advantage over NATO." Sellov held the dock and pointed at the European map, "In view of Yugoslavia's doubts, this is still the conclusion that I have eliminated the Yugoslavia People's Army."

"So to take advantage of this favorable opportunity, the focus of the entire Warsaw Pact of armed forces should be adjusted, and the northern Soviet cluster stationed in Poland will be expanded and the military pressure on Western Europe will be increased." Selov briefly introduced the recent situation, and then focused on General Woyceh Yarruzeelsky, who is now the only general-ranked soldier in the Polish army.

"Master Selov, please understand the difficulties in Poland. The increase in the Soviet army among the people is not easy to accept." General Woyceh Yaruselsky cautiously hoped that the Soviet Union would reconsider.
