Shelov said silently in front of the hospital bed. According to time, it was indeed time. Personally, this Soviet ideological authority was a perfect person. If the Soviets were Suslov, they might have been completely above the United States without the 1980s. However, precious things mean rare at the same time. Shelov didn't know if he could find a second person like Suslov.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. You seem to feel a little depressed. This is not like you. You burned so many people in India in a big fire, and we didn't see you affected!" Suslov said softly, "In fact, Brezhnev, Andropov and I know that I guessed this when the fire in Mumbai occurred."

"I thought I was doing a secret?" Selov laughed at himself. Of course he was shocked, but over the years he had been able to hide his emotions. At least in front of others, this has become an instinctive reaction, which is true for everyone.

"I have no evidence, and I believe others don't. Maybe Andropov has it. You made Ruby Yangka like an iceberg, and others have no evidence. I also know you are protecting yourself." Suslov narrowed his eyes and said, "You are an alien among the Communist Youth League. Sherepin and Shemichasne were arrogant and were ultimately not Brezhnev's opponent. After 76 years, I can't stop Brezhnev. But the pattern left by Brezhnev can still be remedied. Can you think of what the Soviet Union looks like since the time of rule? Maybe it's stronger, but Sherepin's character is a big problem, and he is too young, and may even rule for more than thirty years. In that case, his authority is even more unshakable than Brezhnev."

"But wasn't you who stopped us back then? If you hadn't been standing behind Brezhnev to fill it up, with Brezhnev's prestige at that time, maybe we could succeed." Selov said as if he recalled, "Anyway, it's all over, maybe Shurik was a little bit bad in luck, or we were destined to wait."

"Even if I die, there will be Andropov and Chernenko ahead of you. I think if you are asked to choose, you will support the former, but I tell you that Andropov has a poor vision. His thinking and his ability are sufficient, but his subordinates are basically not good, and his average quality is not as good as the Communist Youth League of Xie Lieping. He is actually not suitable to stay for too long. You all know that I am not in harmony with him. Unfortunately, I have no time to stop him now." Suslov's voice was a little weak, and he looked at Xie Lieping and said, "You are not as sharp as Beria and Xie Lieping on the surface. You hide yourself as much as Andropov, but in fact your thinking is still the thinking of the anti-counterfeiter workers. And your lifestyle is problematic, don't worry about me, I want evidence. I believe in my eyes, and your lifestyle is problematic."

"I am not optimistic about security cadres. I have seen Beria, whose personal power reaches its peak. A Ministry of Internal Affairs can make everyone shut up. I have also seen Xie Lieping at the time. With the support of the reserve cadres of the Communist Youth League, judicial cadres including the KGB, the propaganda department, government, local party committees, and Xie Lieping's subordinates occupy nearly a hundred important positions. They all lost!" Suslov recalled, "But he has to be optimistic about you, you must want to know the reason."

"Well, I can clearly feel your defense against the KGB. I don't know what's different about me." After hearing Suslov's words, Selov said, "I'm cruel and ruthless. The ones I learned are Belia, Selepin, Derzhinsky, and even Yagoda and Yerov. Normally, you shouldn't come out to protect me a few times."

"That's right, if it's another time, I'll try to clear you. Don't think I'll suggest you to enter the Secretariat." Suslov felt that the chat with Serov was very interesting. After decades of getting along, the two had never had so many conversations.

After pausing for a moment, Suslov closed his eyes tiredly and said, "But now is not another period. You are the only sample in front of me. You were born in 1927, right? Have you met a few classmates, or, in other words, how many people born in the 1920s can you remember? Where did they go?"

"They died, died in the great Patriotic War. The proportion of men and women in our country is that there are more women than men. The Patriotic War has caused a devastating blow to our population. Otherwise, General Secretary Stalin would not have been patient with the United States after the war." Shelov paused when he said this, and he understood what Suslov meant.

"Do you understand? No matter how good the cadres are, they must be selected from enough base." Suslov looked at Serov and smiled. "There are only two cadres in the current Central Presidium who were born in the 1920s, one is Romanov and the other is you. Romanov can be qualified for Kosykin's duties at most. Even if he is determined in the face of the high pressure of the United States, he has no strength. We are very short of cadres between the ages of fifty and sixty. These cadres who should have played a role have all died in the Patriotic War."

"I have no choice but to look forward to you. This is also the truth I understood after Xie Lieping stepped down. Let the Central Presidium leave a young man as much as possible." Suslov shook his head, "I have no choice. Your age is just a period when too many people died in the Soviet Union. You have no companions, you only have two choices, cadres much older than you, who are usually Brezhnev's people, and they may die at any time."

"The other person is your next generation of cadres. Usually the General Secretary will choose the latter. I believe that Andropov will choose the latter. But the problem is that Andropov has a poor vision. I am not optimistic about what cadres he can choose. This is why I have always had a disagreement with Andropov, and that is that he always wants to replace me. This is also a reason!" Suslov also said frankly, "Your subordinates are at least like normal people."

"If we have enough talents, I would not choose you as a dangerous person, but there are very few cadres of your generation who have achieved success. You must take responsibility and use your strong style to make up for the embarrassment of insufficient talents for your age group of cadres." Suslov said helplessly, "Maybe you will become Stalin and use your ability to spend the next twenty years until the next generation of cadres grows up. Only you are of the right age."

"Now I almost feel a heavy responsibility!" Selov smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, this was the reason why Suslov took care of himself in recent years. Suslov hated security cadres in the department because the KGB was very dangerous. In terms of personal morality, he hated Selov's lazy style, and he always had a female secretary around him. There was no evidence, but he felt that Selov's female secretary was definitely not just for work. So he had a bad impression of Grishin, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee.

But the world is so wonderful. After Xie Lieping fell, Suslov suddenly discovered the problem of the Soviet talent gap. He began to reconsider whether the ruthless general political commissar could use power to lead the Soviet Union through this embarrassing period.

There is only one sample, Suslov has no choice but to have any choice. The cadres of the Dnipro gang are older than the other. Who knows how long these people can live, and it is too late to re-train. So even if Selov does not meet some of Suslov's standards, facing multiple-choice questions with only one option, the second secretary can only fill in the fixed answers.

The two chatted for a long time, and until Suslov was obviously tired, Selov left the ward.

Suslov's serious illness caused a lot of noise in the Central Presidium. You should know that Suslov served as the second secretary for a long time, and in fact, he was the successor in the general sense. However, he was about the same age as Brezhnev, so he would not let half of people think about this. People suddenly remembered that Brezhnev was also very old.

Including Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, Selov and Ustinov all came to visit and expressed their respect for the authority of the Soviet Union's ideological ideas.

"Comrade Suslov, you will definitely get better. Our country still needs you." Brezhnev, on the one hand, because of respect, and on the other hand, the two have worked together for many years, and Suslov has long been unable to pose a threat to him. For a moment, his peers were critically ill, and Brezhnev himself could not accept it.

"Human aging is inevitable, and time is here." Suslov said calmly, "I am very glad that I have fought for my ideals. Although there are still many problems in the country, I believe that our motherland encounters problems. We have created a system out of thin air, and it took decades to develop to the current height, which is enough to prove the unparalleled advanced nature of socialism. I believe that all problems will gradually disappear. Although I cannot see this day!"

All those who came to the ward were in a heavy mood because these words had a strong last words. That night, Suslov, who was hospitalized in the hospital, suddenly increased his blood pressure. In the following days, the entire hospital was helping Suslov pass the dangerous period as much as possible. Suslov did not wake up and fell into a coma.

On January 26, news came from the hospital, and Suslov, member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and Secretary of the Central Committee, passed away.
