It can be seen from Brezhnev's reaction that he was very happy. From various channels, Brezhnev expressed his desire to receive the fifth Soviet hero medal, but many people still hesitated to make him surpass Marshal Zhukov.

It turns out that for the sake of the right holder, this layer of window paper was finally exposed by the Political Commissar of the General Security of the National Security Council. In the field of flattery, Selov finally took a substantial step. He did not target a member of the presidium, but said that others were garbage, and I was the best at giving it my best.

"There are at least two of these five Soviet hero medals that need to be divided into half of them." Amid the congratulations of many members of the presidium, the General Political Commissar unconsciously touched the bone that was prominent on the back of his head. If you remember correctly, according to China, this is called reverse bone.

"You seem a little tired. Secretary Suslov should take a little more rest." Seeing Suslov's tired face, Serov stepped forward and said. Suslov was in good health, but as long as this person was in one day, he would be the Soviet Union's ideological authority. No one would doubt it.

After Suslov's death, Andropov and Chernenko fought fiercely around the position of successor. It seems ridiculous now that both Andropov and Chernenko are people who are in their near future.

"No problem, it's been like this for so many years." Suslov's voice was not loud, and he was still in a steady tone. He didn't think there would be any big deal. He was like a machine that had been debugged and worked according to the established procedures every day.

This time, unlike usual, Brezhnev did not drink to celebrate, which was also very abnormal. It seemed that the self-control of his youth had returned, but he was very old after all, and he was still a little tired after a brief celebration. The aging of his body offset his scheming and thoughtfulness when he was young, and some things that he had never considered had to be considered now.

He was unwilling to leave the position of General Secretary, but he had to select a group of trustworthy cadres to continue to fight against the United States. This was something he had never thought about before, but whether he was willing or not, he had to start thinking about it.

"During this meeting, you can listen to the opinions of Comrade Suslov and Comrade Chernenko." Before Brezhnev left, he appointed the person in charge in Moscow. Generally speaking, when Brezhnev was not here, Suslov was in charge of the overall situation, but starting from the second half of the year, more and more times Suslov was absent, so Andropov and Chernenko usually took turns to preside over the meeting.

Now Andropov is visiting Central Asia with the General Secretary, staying among the cadres in Moscow. The oldest member of the Secretariat is Brezhnev's steward and the Central Secretary, Chernenko.

He is the oldest member of the Secretariat, but if he were a member of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union, Selov was not humble. He was a member of the Central Presidium as early as Khrushchev's era. No one except Suslov was more qualified than him. Don't think that he was only in his fifties this year.

"It is not the Kremlin that really controls this country, but here!" Selov pointed his finger at his desk, Ruby Yangka KGB headquarters building. The Brezhnev era was an era of rapid recovery of Stalinism. Don't forget the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Stalin era. The current KGB's invisible control over social life is not only not inferior to the public control in the 1930s, but also has an increasing scale and authority. Selov has been pretending to be dead, but every time he stays in his position for one more day, the authority of the KGB will increase by one day.

This is the security of the Soviet Union. The police system fought for the supreme power for the third time. Beria and Sherepin failed in the first two times. This time, Sherev was preparing to hide behind Andropov and achieve his goal in the safest way.

This time, the KGB will go from behind to the front, control the country in person, and decide the outcome with the United States.

"Comrade Andropov, I really want to watch the day when the Soviet Union defeated the United States, but I am almost old. There is one thing I want to finish and not do it well. I always feel a little uneasy in my heart." Brezhnev, who is about to leave Russia and arrive in Central Asia, said, "If China is safe, we can fight the United States with confidence, right?"

"We can see that China's changes will not be worse than in the 1970s, no matter what, it will not be worse than in the 1970s. Any change is beneficial to us!" Andropov did not express Serov's conclusion that he said was futile. From the perspective of the country, he also hoped that the relationship between the Soviet Union and China could return to the honeymoon period of the 1950s.

Soon, Brezhnev, who was slightly afraid of fatigue, arrived in Kazakhstan and began to inspect the entire five Central Asian countries from the place of his old subordinate Kunayev.

"Comrade Nazarbayev?" Andropov found a cadre mentioned by Selov from the crowd. The 41-year-old secretary of the Central Committee of the Kazakh Communist Party, Nazarbayev, is already one of the most highly-ranked cadres in Kazakhstan, and is even regarded as the successor by the first secretary Kunayev.

"Secretary Andropov, I am Nazarbayev, welcome you to Kazakhstan." Nazarbayev welcomed his inspection in Moscow. He wanted to speak in a larger field, rather than be a local cadre. This would at least reach the status of Kunayev, and of course he wanted more in his heart.

"Comrade Selov still remembers you!" Andropov praised without hesitation, "In my impression, our strict general political commissar has never praised anyone. If you remember correctly, you seem to be the only one."

"Is the only one? I didn't expect that Yula, who is focused on the outside, can also discover the advantages of domestic cadres." Brezhnev interjected slowly, and then looked at this handsome minority cadre. The Soviet Union had always had a tradition of scrubbing faces, and Brezhnev was once valued all the way until he became the general secretary because of Stalin's praise.

Serov Nazarbayev suddenly remembered that many years ago, he had seen this Soviet giant. The two sides had a brief conversation, but they didn't expect that after so many years, he had been in his sight. When Nazarbayev thought of this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or glad that he had been taken seriously by the KGB President. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

A few days later, Brezhnev arrived in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbek, and routinely appeased local cadres. Andropov, who was also accompanying him, had never left these people who welcomed him. Even if they were all shot, no one would be wronged. From the evidence given to him by Serov, these people had no innocent people at all.

Andropov was definitely not in a good mood to be welcomed by such a group of corruption criminals, but these people were not welcomed by him. The chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission is definitely not a popular role. Just look at the treatment of Xie Lieping back then. These people hope that Andropov would quickly follow Xie Lieping's footsteps and get out of the power circle in Moscow.

The next day, Brezhnev spoke to local cadres in Tashkent and also talked about the China issue. Brezhnev repeatedly emphasized that the Soviet Union had taken the initiative to hold another Sino-Soviet border negotiation.

Brezhnev called on China-Soviet relations to normalize relations. "The principled position taken by our party and the Soviet state on the issue of Soviet-China relations has been clearly explained in the resolutions of the 25th and 26th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. I would like to add the following points here: First, although we have publicly criticized the policies pursued by Chinese leaders in the past and present, especially many views in foreign policies that do not conform to socialist principles and norms, we have never wanted to interfere with the internal life of the People's Republic of China. We did not deny it in the past, and now we do not deny that there is a socialist social system in China. Although Beijing's echo of imperialist policies on the world stage obviously goes against the interests of socialism."

"Second, we have never supported the concept of so-called 'two Chinas' in any way, and have fully recognized and still recognize the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China over the treasure island; third, from the Soviet side, there has been no threat to the People's Republic of China in the past and present. We have not, and have not made any territorial claims against China in the past and have been prepared to continue to negotiate on existing border issues at any time in order to achieve mutually acceptable solutions. We are also ready to discuss the possible measures to take in strengthening mutual trust in the Soviet-China border areas."

"Fourth, we clearly remember the era when the friendship bond with gay cooperation connected the Soviet Union and the Chinese people. We never think that hostility and alienation between our two countries is normal. We are willing to reach an agreement on measures to improve Soviet-China relations without any prerequisites, without interfering in each other's affairs and mutual benefit, of course, without harming the interests of third countries. This will involve both economic, scientific and cultural relations, as well as political relations, but it depends on the extent to which both sides are willing to take certain specific steps in any of these areas..."

"Chairman, Secretary Suslov is hospitalized." Director of the General Affairs Office Servanov came in and reported that when Brezhnev was absent, Suslov was the number one figure in Moscow.

"I know, I'll go right away." Selov simply stood up and rushed to his will. On October Revolution this year, the ideological authority of this Red Square was missing on the rostrum of the Red Square.

"Maybe I may not be able to survive this time." Next to the bed were glasses that had been with him for decades. Suslov's moan was very weak. In a blink of an eye, he had been in the ward for more than a month and had not even participated in the October Revolutionary Festival.
