Chapter 100 Threat

Chernenko couldn't stand listening to it anymore, he was here to canvass votes, and he was here to start a war with Mr. Bo. What is Andropov doing? Doesn't he know the consequences? But on second thought, isn't this just right? He Andropov is not afraid of offending people, so let him offend. Is there anyone here who does not enjoy these privileges, and what he did, Andropov, just made everyone completely abandon him.

"Comrades, a huge food safety scandal broke out at Gorky University last year. A municipal party secretary and her lover actually took money from our students. Is this just a case? Some of our cadres are corrupt It has reached the point of insanity!"

"Not long ago, my deputy, Comrade Zweikun, unfortunately left us. His death was so sudden that I still can't believe that he would commit suicide. Before going out, he was talking about house renovation with his wife. I find it inconceivable that people would commit suicide.”

Andropov's speech seems to be as he pleases, saying whatever comes to mind, but the matter of Zweigon is so sensitive, and he is President Bo's brother-in-law, although everyone thinks what Andropov said is not pleasant , but I can't help but admire his courage, but it's a little strange, what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.

"I have had the honor of working with all of you here for many years, and I am sure that none of you will allow our ranks to gradually deviate from the true Bolshevik way of life advocated by Comrade Lenin, although not all of us can be like Comrade Suslov Such socialist puritans, but we cannot tolerate the corruption of cadres and the loss of ideals and confidence in moving forward!"

"Some of our cadres go to work every day with a gold watch that was bribed by their subordinates, but this watch was actually obtained from our treasury. I wonder if he still has a little bit of shame. Such a person leads What justice can there be in the department?"

Although Andropov did not name them, everyone has heard a little bit of wind recently, knowing that what Andropov said is related to the jewelry and diamond smuggling case. And the few guys who knew the inside story couldn't help but feel chills behind, because it wasn't just Xiaoluokov who received the gold watch, almost all the members of the Dnipropetrovsk gang received this kind of gift, and I don't know who Andropov is talking about. He is the head of the KGB. What else does he know?

Just because Andropov did not name the person by name, everyone felt that he seemed to mean something, maybe he was mentioning something, maybe he had something in his hands.

"I heard that the safes in some cadres' offices are full of cash. I really want to see it if I have the chance..."

Tikhonov involuntarily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't understand why Andropov would say such a thing. Tikhonov couldn't help but think of the rubles in his safe. Could it be that Andropov knew Have you done these things?

"I also heard that some cadres embezzled the money used by the state to build public facilities for their own use, refurbishing luxurious villas for themselves, and what's more, even called troops to build private houses for themselves..."

Shcherbytsky, the first Ukrainian secretary, also trembled in his heart. Andropov actually caught him in this matter, what should he do? He involuntarily took a peek at Boss Boss, Boss Boss didn't express anything, but his face was not good-looking, which made Shcherbytsky a little uncertain.

Andropov’s speech lasted for more than half an hour. No one dared to interrupt him. As long as Andropov said something, some people present would take their seats consciously. No one felt that Andropov was a While complaining, everyone couldn't help reminding themselves that this person was the head of the KGB, not the kind of old factory worker who complained. Every word he said is meaningful and conveys meaning beyond the literal meaning to others.

"I've been gathering intelligence for so many years, but I've seen so many things that make me angry, maybe it's time for me to change places,

I'm sorry to tell everyone so many heartwarming things..."

Andropov’s speech was finally over, and everyone applauded as usual. Some people cheered vigorously, such as Gorbachev, while others were just perfunctory, such as Chernenko, Tikhonov and them. But everyone understands Andropov's last two sentences, that is, I know all about your details, and if I don't let me go one step higher, I will investigate you to the bottom.

No one doesn't care about their own reputation, especially those high-ranking and powerful people. Everyone is not young. If they are really entangled by the KGB, no one is sure that they will be able to escape the KGB's investigation. It seems that old man An is here today to play tricks. He already knew that he had some black materials on everyone. He didn't expect him to investigate so carefully, even knowing exactly how much money is in your safe.

"There have been two rounds of secret ballots, and there is still no result. I think we should use secret ballots!" Finally, Andropov suggested that he had said everything he had to say. If someone stood in his way, Don't blame him for being ruthless.

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

...

Today, for the first time, all the committee members reached a consensus on one matter, which is undoubtedly a good start. Under the organization of Minister of Inspection Perche, everyone started voting again.

"Commissioners in favor of Comrade Andropov, please raise your hands!"

After Perche finished speaking, six members immediately raised their hands in support of Andropov. They were Gorbachev, Grishin, Gromyko, Romanov, Kirilenko and Perse himself.

Seeing this, Mr. Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was still six to six, and Chernenko still had a chance.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, is there anyone else?" Bo asked after counting the number of people. "If not, keep going!"

"Then, members who support Comrade Chernenko, please raise your hands!" the host Perse announced again.

"Swipe! Someone raised their hand very quickly!" After a while, the number of people seemed to stop moving, and Perche started counting again.

"One, two, three, four, eh? Why are there only four?" Perche couldn't believe his eyes.

Those who did not raise their hands were Tikhonov, Chairman of the Joint Council of Ministers of the Supreme Soviet, and Kusayev, First Secretary of the Kazakh Party Committee. Aren’t they supposed to be Chernenko’s staunch allies? what happened?

"You two committee members who haven't published one! What do you mean?" Perche asked puzzled.

"I...I think the two are equal, so I decided to abstain!"

"I...me too!"

The two responded obediently, and Perse turned his attention to Mr. Bo, asking him to make a decision. Mr. Bo hesitated for a while, and finally nodded to admit the result. Andropov got what he wanted with a smile on his face, while Chernenko immediately congratulated Old Man An. Although he had scolded Kusayev and Tikhonov in his heart.
