Chapter 361 Serious Problem

"Report." At this moment, the police chief Korchagin came running over and said, "A mechanized infantry division has blocked all the main transportation routes, airports, TV stations and other institutions in Tashkent."

There is a mechanized infantry division? What's going on? Rashidov stood up. Now, he already felt something was wrong.

"Don't move!" At this moment, shouts were heard from outside and the bodyguards' screams could be heard. It was obvious that someone wanted to take action and was beaten severely.

"Who dares to act wildly here? This is Uzbekistan!" Rashidov shouted.

"This is Soviet territory!" At this moment, a voice came from outside. When Rashidov heard this voice, his face changed immediately.

"No one can be corrupt, abuse their power for personal gain, or accept bribes, let alone kill people to silence them when their conspiracy is exposed!" Andrei walked in and said in a cold tone: "Rashidov, you are under arrest!"

"No, I am the General Secretary of Uzbekistan, I am a member of the ZJJ, who gave you the power to do this?" Rashidov shouted: "Andrei, you are the commander of the military district, I am the General Secretary of the Union Republic, you are not qualified to do this!"

"What about our Soviet General Secretary?" Andrei said, "Rashidov, let me tell you, the order to arrest you was signed by General Secretary Andropov! This order will arrest a total of 3,720 Uzbek officials!"

Rashidov's face turned pale instantly. This was going to completely wipe out the entire Uzbek power that he had cultivated for twenty years! He would never have a chance to turn the tables!

Was the order really issued by General Secretary Andropov?

Even if Rashidov had doubts, he could no longer verify them with Andrei. The entire Tashkent was under Andrei's absolute control. His mafia and his captive assassins had no chance of turning the tables!

In Rashidov's official residence, the KGB personnel who followed him seized half a ton of gold and various weapons and equipment including anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles, and arrested more than 500 illegal armed personnel. The rubles stored in cash amounted to tens of millions!

The evidence of his crime was here. Even if there had been no previous incident, how could he have so much wealth with the income of a general secretary of a union republic? Just these seized properties were enough for Rashidov to meet Marx.

Moscow, Kremlin.

"Uzbekistan's problems are already quite serious. Just two years ago, Nasrikinova's case was a big warning to us." Andropov's voice was calm, but majestic: "Now, the entire Uzbek corruption case must be investigated thoroughly!"

Nasrekinova, a leader among Soviet women and a "heroine" of Uzbekistan, was once the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek Republic and the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. In the 1960s, she made a fuss about "marrying a daughter-in-law and making a big fuss". After that, she did not restrain herself at all. It was not until she was transferred to the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union in 1974 that her abuse of power and bribery were exposed. In 1976, the Supervisory Committee passed a decision to expel her from the party. However, after learning about it, Podgorny, the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet at that time, asked the Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, Pershe, to immediately restore Nasrekinova's reputation; Brezhnev also interceded for her many times and claimed that expelling her from the party was "an open challenge to the central leadership."

As a result, it was precisely because of the support of these bigwigs that the case was delayed even though the evidence was in her possession, and even the prosecutorial and judicial authorities could not do anything to her. Even now, although this woman has lost her position, she still lives a life of luxury in Moscow.

I have let you get away with it for so long. Now, it is finally time to punish you! I will use Uzbekistan as an example to show the entire Soviet Union that if we want to reform the country, this kind of corruption must be stopped!

"Comrade General Secretary, maybe someone below made a mistake." At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Uzbekistan was a well-known advanced republic during the time of our former General Secretary Comrade Leonid, and its contribution to our Soviet Union was enormous. Now, Comrade Andrei went to Uzbekistan, and a series of things happened. Do you think there is any misunderstanding?"

Misunderstanding? Andropov looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Churbanov, a member of the Central Supervisory Committee and Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs! This person also had another identity: Brezhnev's son-in-law!

Brezhnev's daughter Galya was a well-known flirt in Moscow's upper class. She had been married and divorced several times. At the age of 41, she met the handsome and suave Churbanov. As a result, the two of them were like-minded and soon got together. Churbanov's target was, of course, Brezhnev! With constant flattery, his position rose from a small policeman to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs within ten years!

At the same time, this person is also the biggest protector of the Uzbek corruption case!

"Under our Soviet system, that is, our great socialist society, there will be no crime and bribery. Such crimes only exist in the old capitalist society." Churbanov continued, "By the end of 1923, a large number of bribery phenomena had basically disappeared. Those cadres who made property mistakes can be educated, and they cannot bring discredit to the party. The great comrade Leonid educated us in this way."

Churbanov knew he was playing with fire by bringing up Brezhnev from time to time, but now he had no other choice. He had to convince Andropov to stop at this meeting, otherwise, if he continued to investigate, wouldn't he be the one to be found? Using Brezhnev's name, Churbanov had already described this incident as a minor problem caused by the young General Andrei not getting along well with the local authorities.

"Really? Do you agree with Comrade Churbanov's opinion?" Andropov's sharp eyes slid across everyone's face. It can be seen that several people wanted to move, but in the end they did not say it.

"Vorotnikov, please briefly tell everyone the results of the investigation into this corruption case." Andropov said to a young man next to him.

Vorotnikov stood up. As the person directly responsible for this corruption case, he held in his hand the latest statistical data.
