Winter is not a friendly season for the elderly, especially in the Soviet Union. Fortseva was covered in wind and frost, and when she entered the house, she couldn't help but put her hands to her mouth and breathe.
"Mother, how is the First Secretary?" Alexeyev stepped forward to greet his mother and asked Fortseva to sit down. The big boy even held her mother's hand and breathed.
"Chernenko's situation is not good. After meeting Hammer at the end of the year, he has not appeared in public for a while."
Feeling the warmth of her palms, Fortseva replied gently, "This time he finally met me, and he looked bad. I told him that I wanted to leave the leadership position, but I just made some requests.
."
The cultural tsar herself has no requirements. She has reached the pinnacle of what a woman can do, and it is almost impossible to take a step forward. Although for Russian history, a female tsar is not a strange thing.
Her only worry now is whether her son can take a step forward. This time she met Chernenko. She said she was retiring, but in fact she hoped to use this as a reason to exchange for her son to take a step forward.
Although Chernenko's physical condition was already very poor, Furtseva did not dare to neglect at all. During the Brezhnev period, although Chernenko was not prominent, he actually had great power, especially in the
After Brezhnev's health deteriorated, he relied heavily on Chernenko.
Brezhnev trusted Chernenko very much and often signed instructions written by him without asking a question.
Or, Chernenko only needed to obtain Brezhnev's verbal consent and annotate on the document "Reported to Leonid Yinrich. He asked for opinions." Just like that, the matter was done...
When Brezhnev dealt with cadre issues, he first had to discuss it with Chernenko. Chernenko knew everything about the situation of the secretaries of the Party Central Committee, the situation of the staff of the central organs, and the situation of senior cadres, including their daily lives.
Very subtle details, everything is known.
Chernenko established a computing center of the Central Committee of Electronic Systems for processing information. The computers were of the domestic brand "Minsk" and the processing power of this center exceeded the computing center of the State Planning Commission.
The Ministry of Public Affairs has formed a huge information center on cadre issues - covering all officials appointed by the central government.
All documents, all decisions were entered into the computer. Chernenko prided himself on the fact that any document could be found in just a few minutes.
In fact, Fortseva was not optimistic about Andropov. If it hadn't been reminded several times by a certain British gentleman, she would not have believed that Andropov would come from behind. Even now, she still thinks that Andropov's methods
Not bright.
"It won't take long before your appointment as the director of the Moscow Security Bureau will be issued." Fortseva did not give in, and the warmth in her body gave her son reassurance.
"Really? God, I'm more satisfied than I thought." Alexeyev couldn't help but sigh happily. He is the director of the Moscow Security Bureau, which is a high-level position in the KGB.
The director of the Moscow Security Bureau also serves as a member of the National Security Council and the National Security Council. If we compare it with the entire Soviet Union, that is Furtseva's position in the Soviet Union. The highest leadership of the Soviet Union is a member, and there is no such title as a standing committee member. Of course, the KGB
It has its own national committee with more than a dozen members.
The members of the National Security Council include the chairman, vice-chairman of the National Security Council, heads of major departments and leaders of several local state security agencies. The National Security Council is appointed and removed by decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.
The convention is that the chairman of the National Security Council of Ukraine, the two directors of the National Security Service of Moscow City and Moscow Oblast and Leningrad City and Leningrad Oblast, are traditionally members of the full committee.
If this appointment goes through, it can be said that Alexeyev has already joined the leadership of the KGB, one level higher than the general director of the General Bureau.
"I can only help you so far. From now on, it's up to you. You're a disobedient child and you have to do this kind of work. Like the family members of many cadres, it would be better to choose a job with a high salary. What's more?
Safety!"
Seeing her happy son, Fortseva couldn't help but express her worries, "Chernenko left at some point. Every change of leadership is a turmoil. No one is safe."
"Mom, I am no longer a child." Alexeyev reminded with an embarrassed smile, "I am also almost forty years old, and I will definitely consider myself when making decisions."
"I hope you can really think about it." Fortseva said, thinking in her heart, even if she learns some skills from that person, there is no need to worry, "This time around, it is almost certain that Mikhail
He will take over, which is another difficulty."
"Mother, don't worry." Alexeyev answered optimistically. He had a good relationship with Yinlina Vilganskaya. This woman's father was praised by the free world.
, and was also the successor expected by the Soviet Union.
As Chernenko's status becomes more and more mysterious and he does not appear in public, many Soviet people feel that the country has actually changed its leader and is only waiting for the final process.
The KGB is the most threatening cudgel within the Soviet Union. Andropov, who was kind to him, used this department to make him the winner in the competition with Chernenko. Of course Map Head attaches great importance to this
Department, he deeply understands the threat of this department.
Regarding the appointment of the director of the Moscow Security Bureau, Map Head believed that it was Chernenko's dark means, but knowing who the appointee was, this suspicion was dispelled.
He didn't have any special opinion about the son of the Culture Tsar, but he looked familiar. Alexeyev often appeared in his ears. In fact, it was because his daughter had a good relationship with the wife of the new head of the Security Bureau.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is just such a daughter. Although he is mentally prepared to dedicate everything to the country, people are not ruthless, and his daughter is always
To be taken care of.
People are not grass and trees, so they can be ruthless! This sentence is well said. The supreme authority is that I didn’t know that someone would sigh like this at the same time. Otherwise, the hero would definitely have the same opinion. Taking the report card of the civil service examination in the new year, Alan Wilson said:
Arnold's performance can be called satisfactory.
Under normal circumstances, it is of course impossible for this report card to fall into the hands of the Cabinet Secretary-General. After all, Britain is the birthplace of modern government. It has various but certainly ineffective measures to avoid nepotism.
But there is a saying that says where there is a will, there is a way. The relative environment of normal situations is that there are always abnormal situations.
"Big things will definitely happen in the financial world this year. If you go to Malaya to work, you can take care of your previous financial investments there. And your mother is in Perth in the summer, so it will be easier to meet. Your mother is not young anymore, so keep in touch more
one time."
After some very subjective and poorly thought-out considerations, Alan Wilson arranged a job for his son Arnold.
Of course, it is to go to a place where you know your roots and start along the existing successful route. There are advantages to working in the East, and the salary of working overseas is higher, although this is not important to Arnold.
However, promotion speed will be faster when working overseas, which is very important, and you can also respond to the Japanese financial market nearby.
Alan Wilson feels that after achieving initial financial freedom, he can consider returning to his hometown to benefit society.
"Malaya is a nice place." Arnold directly expressed his compliance with the arrangement, "Although the distance is a bit far, some things may be inconvenient."
"What's the inconvenience? Is it inconvenient to ride on a rocket with the daughter of the finance minister?" Alan Wilson said with a crooked war-like expression, "I think you still don't have this charm. Don't say he's my son when you go out.
Back in the days of British India, conditions were created wherever there were no conditions.”
The most important thing is that when you go to work overseas, you won't offend local officials. When you grow up and land back to your hometown, you can actually be caught off guard.
The supreme authority at this time did not know that his ideas coincided with that of a certain Soviet person. Therefore, the world's bureaucrats were of the same family, and their rank would not necessarily be higher than those in the UK just because they were officials in the Soviet Union.
People who think like this really don’t know how high the sky is. They actually think that there are superior and inferior officials in different countries? How can they summarize the so-called officialdom culture? What a joke!
As the favored successor, Arnold naturally did not dare to neglect, and he did not waste a day. After making a series of phone calls, he took Yin Elizabeth Hurley and took office.
The supreme authority did not go to say goodbye. He was filing the report card of the great boy. He had been very busy at the beginning of the year and was exhausted when he showed up at No. 10 Downing Street. After all, time is not forgiving.
There were no major events in the diplomatic field at the beginning of the year, but the Forty-Nation Disarmament Conference was an exception. In particular, Mrs. Thatcher was pushing for the later Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, so she attached great importance to this conference. I asked Alan Wilson for his opinion, and of course he
No opinion.
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was a loss for the Soviet Union and the United States made concessions, which had nothing to do with Britain and France. What does he have to say? If he has an opinion, it must be unreliable.
