On the coast of the Black Sea, Crimea, this is the place where Andropov chose to recuperate. Yalta is a famous rehabilitation city in the Soviet Union. Soviet people who came to the beach during holidays can be seen everywhere on the beach. However, Yalta is even more famous for the meeting where the three giants of the Allied Powers gathered here during World War II. Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill, the heads of the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, held a meeting here and signed the famous "Yalta Agreement" on the arrangement of the post-war world pattern, known as the "Yalta Conference" in history.

The Yalta Conference decided the political situation after World War II, and soon the world turned to the Cold War. For Andropov, this was a very meaningful place, and he was here like those politicians who changed the world, but the difference was that he was far from Stalin's pretty good body at that time.

This is the largest healing resort in the Soviet Union. Unlike Selov who ran to Siberia without any trouble, most Soviet leaders still like the Crimean Peninsula, which is also the largest ship construction center in the Soviet Union. Not only does it have beautiful scenery, but you can also often see Soviet warships appearing.

Andropov, wearing thin clothes, sat on the chair hunched over. At his request, the people around him asked to rest outdoors for a while. Looking at the scenery of the sanitary area, he seemed to have forgotten the loss of time. Even his uncontrolled trembling body did not notice, but the security personnel around him discovered that they put Andropov on a stretcher and sent him back to the villa.

Even here, he is the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, and many people will come to visit him. Today, he welcomed Marshal Ustinov, a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and Minister of Defense. He could only lie on the hospital bed and welcome the Minister of Defense with a little drip. He was still working, even if he could do nothing except signing and agreeing to the assistant's plan.

On the occasion of the arrival of the Russian New Year, Klyuchkov came here. The two were friends. Only these few friends spent this New Year with him. Andropov was very happy with Klyuchkov's arrival. A difficult smile appeared on his face. This smile was so reluctant that Klyuchkov couldn't help but feel sad.

"Klyuchkov, I wish you a happy New Year." Andropov raised his glass with great difficulty, "Thank you to the doctor for allowing me to have a glass of wine, thank you for coming here."

Klyuchkov had a heavy face and toasted Andropov on the hospital bed. On the day of the Russian New Year, as a friend Andropov had known for a long time, he couldn't help but worry about Andropov's physical arrival.

"Comrade Klyuchkov, Chairman Selov has recalled you to the KGB. I have seen the relevant telegram. Congratulations!" After everyone left, Andropov recalled Klyuchkov alone and asked, "Is Moscow calm now? How about Ryzkov and Ligachev's work?"

"No problem, but Chairman Selov rarely leaves Ruby Yangka almost since you left Moscow. He only went to the Kremlin a few days ago, which surprised everyone else." Klyuchkov said this.

"Selov seems to feel that his situation is very dangerous. He is afraid that Belia's fate will come on his head." Andropov said with some difficulty. "I really hope that I can have more time to make the young cadres really prepare. But it doesn't seem easy. Chernenko also wants to lead the country, but he has a resistance."

"Are you talking about Chairman Selov?" Klyuchkov said in surprise, because no security cadres have become the top leader of the Soviet Union so far, and Klyuchkov still cannot imagine this situation.

"Maybe, I'm just guessing." Andropov shook his head, "People didn't notice this before, because many people are older than Serov, and because Serov was a member of the Central Presidium very early, people always ignore that his age is better than everyone else. Moreover, he never interferes with things other than safe work, so he has not aroused people's vigilance. Now these conditions have been lifted. Because of my physical condition, Serov and Chernenko both found that the two had a competitive relationship. He did not leave Ruby Yangka to prevent Beria from being arrested suddenly. "

"If Chairman Selov feels that his life is threatened, will he take risks?" Klyuchkov said in surprise, "General Secretary, now you are the only one who can stop the confrontation between Selov and Chernenko."

"Do you think Selov will lose? You don't know your chairman very well." Andropov looked at his old friend and said, "Selov may be hesitant to Brezhnev, the old leader of Chernenko, but when facing Chernenko, he would not hesitate at all. On the contrary, if Chernenko is too strong, he might be kicked out."

After saying these words, Andropov rested for a long time before he said weakly, "Comrade Klyucickov, thank you for coming to see me today and spending the last New Year with me. I hope that your work and life will be healthy and successful, which is the basis of all careers."

"Thank you, General Secretary!" Klyuchkov was sure at this time that Andropov himself thought he could not pass this level and was ready to face death. The two had known each other since the 1950s. Seeing this scene, Klyuchkov felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not shown on his appearance.

The most important thing for Selov every day is not to work safely, but to read Andropov's health report. And who Andropov sees every day, Rezhkov just left Moscow and went to Crimea.

Compared to the snowy Moscow, the warm Crimea is indeed a good place to recuperate. After reading the General Secretary’s health report, Selov flipped his eyelids, "Comrade Kluchkov, you will be responsible for external intelligence work. At the same time, you will also take into account the follow-up work of the anti-privileged movement and communicate more with the comrades of the Central Supervisory Commission. Maybe you will have frequent contact in the future."

The Central Supervisory Commission was the last department in which Xie Lieping's group resisted, and it retained the few cadres in the Xie Lieping group. Of course, there were no senior cadres.

"Thank you, Chairman, I will definitely do my best to complete the work." Klyuchkov didn't know what Selov meant.

"It's not about trying your best, it's necessary to sniff out and eradicate the traitors." Selov replied coldly. Klyuchkov was transferred back entirely because of the August 19 coup. What is the vice president, the prime minister, the minister of the interior, there were eight participants in the August 19 coup, but there was only one real organizer and leader. The earliest plan and the first to organize was Klyuchkov's then chairman, and the others were just participants, cooperating with Klyuchkov's plan.

If the group of the August 19 coup was one person, then Klyuchkov was the skeleton, and he supported the final counterattack of the Soviet power. Without the KGB nodding, no coup could be launched.

"The Chairman, the General Secretary said that he hopes everyone can work healthily." Klyuchkov hesitated for a moment, and still told Selov tactfully that Andropov might soon die.

"I know that some people should live healthy, such as the General Secretary." Selov continued to read the report below, answered without raising his head, and pointed to the door and said, "Your office is the original one in Fedorchuk. Go and have a look."

Since the New Year, due to the accumulation of toxins in the blood, Andropov's health has deteriorated sharply. It has been a short time since he has often lost consciousness for this reason. Almost every day, he can see worse situations than the previous one.

On the morning of February 9, this was the last day of Andropov's life. On that day, the nurse found Boris Krookv, an Andropov guard, and said that Andropov did not want to eat. She asked him to persuade Andropov to eat.

Krookv came to Andropov and advised him to have to eat. Finally, he agreed and started eating. Krookv then left for a while. About an hour and a half later, a commotion suddenly broke out in the ward. The doctors ran into the ward, and the assistant to the director of safety also ran in. Krookv called his assistant, and he came to Andropov's ward to stare at the monitor, and found that Andropov's pulse was slowing down.

"Save it now!" Krookf left the room while commanding the medical staff. At the same time, Rubiyangka KGB headquarters received a telegram from Crimea, which described the current situation with a password.

"No matter what the final result is, block the news immediately." Selov immediately issued an order to the phone.

"I thought I wouldn't see the day when you take action before I died?" General Aksai's somewhat old voice came from the phone, and then he simply stopped the phone.

"What attitude!" Selov took out his cell phone that he had never used once from the drawer and called the Derrensky Special Operations Division commander and the commander of the Kremlin garrison troops.

Ten minutes later, the phone on the table suddenly rang, causing the guilty general political commissar to almost throw out the phone in his hand.

"Andropov is in danger!" Sherbisky's voice was also uneasy. His mentality was the same as Serbov. His behavior was equivalent to betraying his own group and was also guilty.

Swallowed back the sentence that scared you so much, and Selov took a few deep breaths before answering, "I understand, what are you going to do?"
