Chapter 399 The Fall of Moscow (6)
The agents all lowered their guns, and He Chi also loosened the weapons on his hands. The agent leader was now able to move freely within his control.
"Comrade Mikoyan, is your brother ready for everything? Is he really going to replace Khrushchev?" Kruglov asked in a deep voice.
The other party didn't reply.
Because at this time, the Mikoyan designer's mind was completely offline - who am I? Where am I? How come I didn’t know that my brother was planning a coup?
Um, but if you think about it carefully, it's not incomprehensible if this is true. After all, the coup is a big event, and even brothers may be kept in the dark for the sake of absolute confidentiality.
He wanted to deny it directly, but the little speculation in his heart made Artyom Mikoyan cautiously say, "My brother and I haven't been in contact for a long time, and I don't know his situation."
The same words have completely different meanings in different people's ears.
"Sure enough, Mikoyan knew it a long time ago! Khrushchev's doubts were not wrong. This seemingly humble roly-poly was actually a huge careerist! He fooled the entire upper class of the Soviet Union through disguise!" Kruger Love was shocked.
Although Khrushchev judged the situation correctly, he still miscalculated. The opponent's energy was unprecedentedly powerful, and all possible reactions here were included in the plan. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to just arrest his brother with his front foot, and 007 to follow him without any delay.
Now the situation is very clear. Khrushchev, who has just missed the mark, is in a state of isolation among the entire top leadership, because everyone is afraid that he will be the next target of the struggle.
Deputy Prime Minister Mikoyan is in a position where he is widely sympathized with. Even if the top brass is not attacked by the so-called nuclear bomb, as long as Anastas Mikoyan can be released safely, his chances of further political advancement will also be greatly increased.
The reason is also very simple. In the eyes of other senior executives, if they cannot become number one, then the real number one should at least not pose a threat to themselves.
Anastas Mikoyan, the "nice gentleman" who usually has a good reputation, almost meets everyone's psychological expectations in this regard.
"If you can't vote for yourself, just vote for Mikoyan." Kruglov bet that at least half of the people in the Politburo would think so.
The logical chain is smooth.
In Kruglov's view, the Moscow crisis was a perfect political game played by Mikoyan behind the scenes.
1. First, dangerous signals such as nuclear weapons were released to disrupt Khrushchev’s judgment.
2. Taking advantage of the opportunity when he became suspicious after discovering nuclear weapons, he intervened and lured Khrushchev into directly detaining him.
3. After he was placed under house arrest, he used spies to expand political panic and truly isolate Khrushchev among high-level officials.
4. When everything became out of control and everyone was in danger, he stood up and completely brought down Khrushchev and became the real first secretary.
A perfect plan, and more importantly, he has done the first three steps.
What should I do?
What should the Ministry of Internal Affairs do?
Beria's fate has already shown that the secret police without backers are nothing but dog meat on the chopping block. They usually offend so many people, and it will only be a matter of time before they are liquidated once the political reform takes place.
Now his original backer Khrushchev is already shaky. Once Mikoyan comes to power, he is 100% sure that he will be liquidated.
What? Comrade Mikoyan has always been gentle and humble?
Nonsense! Didn't you notice that this plan is ruthless in every aspect? In order to succeed, you can even enter the game alone.
Where should I go?
After thinking for a while, Kruglov finally made up his mind
"Now listen to my orders! Anyone who entered the industry after 1945 should go out and wait outside the door!" the Minister of the Interior shouted to the agents behind him.
The agents looked at each other and subconsciously obeyed the order. Many young people walked outside the door.
Kruglov looked at the old intelligence agents who had participated in World War II in front of him and said in a deep voice
"Davari, we are all people who have experienced war. Everyone knows the cruelty of war and the preciousness of peace."
"Now that the great Comrade Stalin has left us, Moscow is facing a crisis. The great Soviet regime is likely to slip into the abyss of civil war. The Soviet people should not experience war again."
"We can fight the invaders at the cost of our lives, but the guns in our hands should not be pointed at our own people."
"In order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, I hope everyone can join me in supporting Secretary Mikoyan to come forward to preside over the work. This is the best choice for the entire Soviet Union and everyone present!"
"Everyone can express their stance now." After Dayi gave a set of words, Kruglov took the lead in raising his right hand.
The agents were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other secretly. Some smart people also raised their right hands. 1, 2, 3, 4... When everyone's hands were raised high, the voice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was completely unified.
Kruglov turned to look at He Chi.
"Mr. 007, can you help us contact Secretary Mikoyan?"
The expression on He Chi's face was a little stiff. The effect of his misleading seemed to be too good, and things went down in an unexpected direction.
Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs support Mikoyan's rise to power?
However, it seems that this ending is not bad.
——
Moscow, the building of the Ministry of Heavy Industry of the Soviet Union, Anastas Mikoyan was spinning in circles in the room.
Since the information was completely cut off from the outside world, and even the radio could not be heard, so far he still did not know the whole situation and why he was detained by Khrushchev.
Recalling the entire incident, there was something strange about it.
He had clearly expressed his support for Khrushchev's rise to power, so why was he placed under house arrest?
Even if you want to establish your authority, you shouldn't do it on yourself, right?
Could it be that Khrushchev was preparing to completely refresh high-level politics? Another purge like 1938?
That’s not right. Khrushchev doesn’t have this kind of prestige right now?
Anastas Mikoyan was puzzled.

At this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a stranger with an Asian face walked into the room.
"Comrade Deputy Secretary, I have been ordered to come and pick you up."
A few minutes passed.
"I plan to seek the position of First Secretary?! What a big joke!" Mikoyan said emotionally in the room.
"Comrade Deputy Secretary, it doesn't matter whether you think so now. Khrushchev has already taken action in advance. If you retreat now, being killed like Beria will be the only outcome." He Chi said in a calm tone. .
"Why should I believe you! This is a British conspiracy to sow comradeship between comrades!" Anastas Mikoyan didn't believe it at all.
"Then please meet someone first. He will tell you what happened in the Ministry of Internal Affairs building." He Chi turned sideways, and a familiar figure appeared outside the door.
His younger brother Artyom Mikoyan.
Ten minutes later, when his brother recounted his encounter at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the deputy secretary's face was as gloomy as the sky in Moscow during the snowy season.
The other party did not lie, Khrushchev really wanted to kill him. With his younger brother's political thinking as a technician, it was easy for him to fall into the trap of the interrogators. As a result, a "confession" provided by a close relative became evidence, and he would soon be accused by thousands of people.
At this moment, Mikoyan felt cold in his heart. He could not understand why Khrushchev would target him.
But that's it, all that's left is to fight back.
"Mr. 007, since you are here, you must have something to say to me, right?" Secretary Mikoyan, who was politically experienced, glanced at the Oriental in front of him.
"Of course, on behalf of the Red Mercury Organization, I fully support you in becoming the First Secretary of the Soviet Union. This is a meeting gift." He Chi handed over a few pieces of paper with a smile - those were just torn from the book.
Mikoyang's expression changed drastically after just one glance. The dark materials of more than a dozen high-level key figures were useless in the hands of ordinary people, but in his hands they would become the sharpest spears.
But after the calm Mikoyang calmed down, he put down the documents in his hands, and the deputy secretary folded his hands and said cautiously
"I only manage the foreign trade department. These things alone cannot win the support of everyone."
"I appreciate your caution, and our support is not limited to this." The Oriental smiled mysteriously and pushed another thing in his hand
"This is Kruglov's personal letter to you, signed by top agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
