Chapter 96: Elder Su Is Critically Ill

In a ward of the Moscow General Hospital, Suslov lay quietly on a hospital bed with tubes inserted into his body. Only the beating waves on the electrocardiogram machine showed that the man was still alive. The colleagues who came to visit could only observe the situation inside through the glass window. Although there were many people standing outside, everyone was surprisingly quiet.

Suslov's thin face was lined with wrinkles, and his cheeks had long sunken. The old man who had dedicated his life to the Soviet could no longer continue to work. On January 18, after Suslov learned that Tsweikon had committed suicide suddenly, he was too emotional and caused a large area of ​​cerebrovascular hemorrhage. May die.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the corridor, and everyone looked back. It was none other than KGB Chairman Andropov and newly elected youngest member of the Politburo Gorbachev. As the two got closer to the ward, they consciously slowed down their footsteps. Although the sound insulation here is very good, everyone still dare not disturb Mr. Su out of respect.

Andropov and Gorbachev had come from Tsveikon's funeral, and in one day the Soviet lost a deputy-ministerial cadre, and the number two in the party fell, which Andropov never expected. Moreover, Zweikon's death was too strange, without leaving any suicide note or last words, he borrowed a gun from his guards without warning, and then suddenly shot at his temple. gun. Whether it was immortal suicide or not, there was only Zweigon and his guards at the scene, so there was no way to tell. Anyway, Andropov didn't believe that Zweigon would commit suicide. This guy reported to himself on work the day before his death, and he couldn't see anything wrong at that time. Even Zweikon's wife didn't believe that her husband would commit suicide. She cried at the funeral and told every guest who came to mourn that Zweikon had discussed with her the decoration of the villa before leaving home.

But Andropov noticed one thing, that is Zweikon's brother-in-law, the general secretary Brezhnev did not come to Zweikon's funeral, not even his immediate family members came, the scene only saw The figure of Prince Consort Churbanov. Mr. Bo just sent a wreath with his name on it, that's all, it's too abnormal.

Looking at Suslov lying on the hospital bed, Andropov couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It would be great if he came to lead the Soviet Union! Maybe this country will not be like it is now."

Andropov thought of this, looked at the people around him, and felt contemptuous in his heart. It is an insult to Suslov for a group of morally corrupt, pleasure-seeking and loss-of-ideal guys to commemorate "socialist Puritans" like Suslov. These guys should all be sent to prison to undergo Stalinist labor reform.

"How is Elder Su?" Andropov called the medical staff and asked softly.

"Unfortunately, we have no better way!" The medical staff said with their heads bowed in shame.

"Okay, I see!" Andropov nodded and let the medical staff leave. Andropov suddenly felt that his eyes were getting wet. He took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, stood there for a while, then turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Gorbachev hurriedly followed. The two walked down the stairs, and Andropov suddenly said with emotion: "What an amazing person!"

Gorbachev also interjected: "Yeah, he is really amazing, he is also very smart, and now he still has so many jobs in the Politburo and the Secretariat. I don't understand how he can handle all this. No one can compare to him in the work of the secretariat, he is always so methodical and full of confidence."

Andropov didn't take these words to heart. At this moment, what he thought of was not the greatness of Suslov, but the greatness of the party that was vacated after Suslov's fall. second place. There are many hopeful successors in this position,

He Andropov was the closest of them all. Whether he succeeded in taking the position, or the Dnepropetrovsk gang of Mr. Bo got this position, I am afraid it will be another life-and-death struggle!

. . .

The vicissitudes of the political situation in the bureau are still unknown to ordinary people in the Soviet Union, and Seryozha doesn't know what kind of political vortex he was lucky to escape. At the moment he is obsessed with Soviet communications. Since his visit to the Voronezh Institute of Communication Sciences, Seriosha, in the name of the Gorky Automobile Factory, has obtained almost all the technical information of the Altai system under the pretext of jointly developing vehicle-mounted mobile communication equipment. In addition, Seriosha also secretly contacted the main developers of this project through private channels. After spending a small amount of money, Sergesha reached a consensus with several of the technical backbones. Sergesha will provide funds for Voronezh The Institute of Communication Sciences does some private work for itself, that is, relying on the technical basis of the Altai system, to design a similar metropolitan area communication system for Sergey Sha, improve some shortcomings of the Altai system, and develop a brand new paging terminal at the same time. That is, the pager that was once all the rage in later generations.

Seryosha consulted these experts, and it didn't take long to develop this Altai system with a new vest, and the pager was invented as early as 1945, but no one used it until the patent expired. The application of technology in the commercial field, Serezha knew in his heart that pagers are actually more realistic than mobile phones.

After finishing the Voronezh Institute of Communication Sciences, the next thing Seryosha has to do is to apply for an international patent for this communication system. Since the patent application is not premised on a mature product, Seryozha can carry out this work at the same time. Seryozha first consulted his teacher, Professor Sobchak, and then asked Eva to find several experts who are proficient in technology patent-related laws at Harvard University. These experts in law and communication engineering will design for Seryozha. A series of patent barriers have been created. The existence of these patents ensures that even if anyone wants to enter this field in the future, Seryosha can use the patented weapon to obtain the maximum benefit.

All these tasks were just the beginning, and with the establishment of a new goal, everyone except Father Petrov was busy again. Yuri returned to the United States and continued to expand the territory for the Gorky Gang, Mikhail continued to digest the Uzbek market demand, Yakov also returned to Tyumen to be his own oil tycoon, and Boris continued to look after the city of Gorky. As for the business, as for Terkina, the only female in the gang, she continued to use the Soviet Union's civil aviation system to provide support for everyone's business. Although everyone gathered less and left more in the new year, they all found what they wanted to do However, the small city of Gorky can no longer carry everyone's dreams. (To be continued..)
