Chapter 400 The Fall of Moscow (8)
There was some silence in the office, and Malenkov could no longer completely calm down at this moment.
Several of the most influential ministers, Molotov, Kruglov, Kaganovich, and Bulganin, all wrote sincere "explanatory letters" to him.
The meanings were similar. They each expressed their concerns about Khrushchev's autocracy. At the same time, they praised Comrade Mikoyan as a true patriot and expressed their willingness to "take decisive action" under the leadership of him and Comrade Mikoyan
< br>
This is not a letter of explanation, it is clearly a letter of allegiance. Mikoyang took it out at this time to demonstrate to himself.
The three departments of diplomacy, secret police, and Wehrmacht fell to Mikoyan at the same time, especially Bulganin's Wehrmacht, which was a force that could turn the world upside down in extreme circumstances.
What else should I mention? Under the joint leadership of him and Mikoyan, even if the other party kicks him away and forces a coup, there is a high chance of success.
Malenkov glanced at the people on the opposite side and found that except for Mikoyan, the remaining two people came in with guns. Among them was a silver-white revolver that was unusually dazzling.
"This comrade is very unfamiliar. Is he also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Malenkov asked seemingly casually.
"I have only been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few times. Now I am doing ordinary work with Comrade Mikoyan." The other party took a half step back humbly, but his right hand was only a few inches away from the gun.
Is it an agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who has been lurking outside for a long time? A new face who was specially transferred back for a big event?
It seemed that Mikoyan was fully prepared. If he didn't agree, he might not be able to leave this office.
Malenkov took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand, "Comrade Mikoyan, for the sake of the great Soviet, let us join hands once again."
Mikoyan also stretched out his hand, and the two held each other tightly.
——
At the end of July 1953, the situation in Moscow took a sudden turn. Khrushchev, who had been the most promising first secretary, was suddenly attacked at a regular meeting of the Central Presidium.
Molotov launched the accusation against him, claiming that his dictatorship was bringing the entire Soviet Union into danger.
Later other important figures joined in the fun.
The entire top management had only two attitudes - either to agree or to remain silent. Khrushchev, who was highly praised a month ago and promoted as Stalin's successor, suddenly faced a situation where he was besieged on all sides.
Originally, the presidium had initiated a vote to completely remove Khrushchev from all posts, but Comrade Mikoyan, who had performed extremely well in various fields recently, stood up.
"Comrade Khrushchev just made mistakes. If he can recognize these mistakes and correct them as soon as possible, he can still be saved." (Historically, this sentence was given to Beria by Mikoyan)
In the end, Khrushchev was demoted to Deputy Minister of Metallurgy and left the Central Presidium in disgrace.
His political stage has come to an end, and how long he can stay on the stage of life depends on the mood of the guys above.
Speaking of history, Malenkov and his team at least saved their lives after the failure of the struggle. Those who had some friendship could still play bridge in their later years. I wonder if Khrushchev could have a slightly dignified exit after the position was reversed.
On the Red Square, Mikoyan's personal photo was raised high. Although the process was still not completed, the veteran of the Soviet Union for three dynasties had already begun to actually preside over the work.
In the Kremlin, there was a knock on the door of Mikoyan's office.
"Comrade First Secretary, I'm coming in." Yulia, who put on her major general uniform again, walked into the office alone.
"Please take a seat, Comrade Yulia." Mikoyan, who had actually sat down on No. 1, did not put on airs but greeted the young female major general very gently.
"Comrade Yulia, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the Soviet government. You have suffered unjust injustice because of false accusations." Mikoyan stood up and bent his back slightly.
Given his status at this time, making such an attitude was already the highest level of expression, but Yulia just said softly, "It's all over, Comrade First Secretary."
"As for your work, Comrade Kruglov and I have discussed it. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will soon be integrated with the National Security Agency. The new department will be called KGB for short. I hope you can stand alone in it, except for Kruglov." Love, you are only responsible for me. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Mikoyan's promise is actually to make Yulia the second person in the KGB, and let a woman who will only turn 30 next year take this position. Such rewards can no longer be described as promotions.
But Yulia was not too happy. She knew that Mikoyan was afraid of such a heavy reward, not because of how outstanding she was, but because he was afraid of that person's energy.
Sure enough, the next second, Mikoyan raised what he was most concerned about: "Comrade Yulia, how much do you know about red mercury?"
Yulia thought for a while and then said, "The time I spent communicating with them was mainly during the Great Patriotic War. At that time, they had not yet come out to work alone. The main personnel were British and French agents. Many of them had the ability of ace agents." , and their shadow has been behind many international incidents in the world in recent years.”
"What about 007?" Mikoyan asked the person he cared about most,
Yulia pondered for a moment, "I'm sorry, maybe I have never really understood him. If I must say it, it is that he is omnipotent!"
"Omnipotent?!" Mikoyan did not expect to receive this kind of evaluation.
He had not been involved in intelligence work before, and his impression of the so-called king of agents was only based on stories passed down by word of mouth.
He originally thought that 007 was just an intelligence agent whose abilities were far beyond those of others.
However, through review, it was discovered that the Moscow incident was almost driven by this super agent. He still cannot fully understand many of the methods used in the process - such as how the nuclear bomb appeared and how it finally disappeared. Without a trace.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
No matter how much attention is given to people who can influence the political ecology of a country, it cannot be overemphasized.
Although in order to protect himself, he cooperated with Hong Mercury and eventually became the first secretary, but this feeling of being unable to control the other party would make any person in power restless.
He suddenly understood Marshall's choice back then.
But he is not Marshall after all. Without knowing the opponent's trump card, maintaining a good relationship may be the safest choice.
However, proper testing is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Mikoyang picked up the pen and signed the letter he had already written, "This is what we agreed with them before. The design bureau has transported the things to the designated location. You can go pick them up directly and the handover will be done by you." Do.”
"Comrade Yulia, communication with Red Mercury will be one of your main tasks in the future, and I look forward to your performance."
Yulia put the letter away, saluted, and turned to leave.
The female major general boarded a special car and then ordered, "Go to the Mikoyan Design Bureau."
The driver in front turned around and took off his hat.
"Congratulations on the promotion, the handover went smoothly?" the Oriental said to her with a smile.
Yulia shook her head, picked up the letter written by Mikoyan and handed it over. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Where is the handover location of the supplies?"
"Volga metal smelter?"
"That's right, it's the place where Khrushchev was just devolved."
