Chapter 1276 Big Things Are Coming One After Another

Chapter 1,276 of the British Civil Servant Text: Major Events Ensued. The meeting lasted until the evening. Khrushchev's resolute attitude gave everyone a headache. They decided to continue the discussion the next day, and at the same time gave Khrushchev Xiaofu spent the whole night thinking about it.

At this time he was still First Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, but in practice his ties with the outside world had been severed.

His personal guard was also replaced, and now the head of the Ninth Directorate of the KGB, Colonel Chekalov, was responsible for his security. Chekalov obeyed Semichasny without hesitation.

If he wanted to, Khrushchev could have died of serious illness without knowing it, but Semichasny firmly opposed this. From the KGB's point of view, this was a de facto coup. The KGB cut off Khrushchev. The source of all surrounding information is something that all members of the Central Presidium know. Once Khrushchev's death is unclear, the KGB will be questioned by others even if it does nothing, Semichasny told Xie Lieping, doing this is definitely a hidden danger.

"Where is Khrushchev's persistence?" Semichasny asked. Naturally, he hoped that after a night of calming down, Khrushchev would figure out not to continue struggling.

"He wants to copy Molotov's time and use the resolutions of the Central Committee members to attack the resolutions of the Central Presidium." Serepin said seriously, "No, we must guard against this trick. In the past two years, cadres have been transferred frequently. It is true that he personally There are quite a lot of new faces promoted. Unless the Central Committee members know that the situation is over, they may really defend themselves because they don't know the situation."

Thinking of this, Shelepin could no longer sit still, so he went directly to Brezhnev and expressed his worries frankly, "I don't know if we are sure that most comrades will be on our side now."

"It should be no problem!" Brezhnev was also worried about this. In fact, he had no idea. Khrushchev had been the number one figure for more than ten years and defeated all kinds of political opponents. He said Maybe there are many people who support him, but if so, they are out of luck.

On the one hand, Khrushchev was determined not to retire, and the KGB also resolutely refused to send Khrushchev to meet Stalin. According to previous examples, the convening of the Central Committee meeting seemed inevitable.

Brezhnev was walking back and forth, but he happened to see Fortseva getting ready to get off work, and he said in his heart, "Comrade Ekaterina, I have something I hope you can help with."

When Molotov launched an attack, Khrushchev was also at an absolute disadvantage at the level of the Central Presidium. Although they all resolutely defended Khrushchev at the time, some of them spoke softly at that time. It was Furtseva who stood by Day and night at Moscow Airport, the Central Committee gathered from all over the country and finally overturned the decision of the Central Presidium.

If Khrushchev expected to make a comeback like this, Furtseva was the person most familiar with this process.

Knowing Brezhnev's purpose, a trace of suspicion flashed in Fortseva's eyes. This suspicion was also caught by Brezhnev, who asked Fortseva to let down her guard, "Ekaterina, It is our common wish to get the country back on track. You also hope that your son will serve the country in a stable society."

"Of course I hope." Fortseva knew that this was Brezhnev's promise. What she needed to do for this promise was to let the Central Committee members who came from all over the country understand the form as she did seven years ago. "Okay , Ilyich, leave this matter to me. As Schulich said, the most difficult thing is Ukraine. The last time he was able to escape unscathed, it was Ukraine’s strong support, even though Shelest had made some preparations. , and hidden dangers cannot be eliminated.”

"Thank you, Comrade Ekaterina." Brezhnev breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't have to attend tomorrow's meeting. I hope it won't come to that point, but it will be hard on you if it does."

One night passed, Brezhnev finished washing and rushed directly to the Kremlin. Furtseva did not attend this meeting. According to the agreed procedure, Brezhnev spoke again, speaking from an emotional and public perspective. , saying that this time the action was not taken because of personal grudges.

"You, Nikita Sergeyevich, understand my attitude towards you. When you were in a difficult situation, I fought honestly, bravely and confidently for you and for the Leninist line. In fact, I fought for you and the Leninist line. I was suffering from a myocardial infarction at that time, but even though I was seriously ill, I still gained the strength to fight for you."

"Today I cannot do anything against my conscience. I want to express my opinion in accordance with the requirements of my faith. If you, Nikita Sergeyevich, are not tainted by such things as a love of giving orders, self-deception, and a strong belief in personal Bad habits such as always being right, if you have a little bit of humility, you will not allow the creation of a personality cult for yourself. You like to issue instructions to everyone and on all issues, but as we all know, it is impossible for any one person to complete it Such a task—this is the basis of all errors.”

The dialogue this time was still difficult. Khrushchev had encountered a similar scene seven years ago. At the beginning, only Mikoyan was on his side in the entire Central Presidium. After being the First Secretary for so many years, Khrushchev still showed no respect for his subordinates who once looked down on him and said, "I must be convinced in accordance with the regulations."

"Okay." Brezhnev agreed, which almost gave Khrushchev a sense of hope.

At the Moscow Airport, Fortseva was in a daze. In 1957, when Malenkov, Kaganovich, and Molotov jointly tried with some members of the Presidium to remove Khrushchev from his post as First Secretary of the Central Committee through a simple vote. At that time, Furtseva used the excuse of going to the bathroom and ran to call the leaders of the powerful department and other Central Committee members in Moscow, calling on them to defend Khrushchev, and persuaded Zhukov to side with her.

In two days, she flew one hundred and seven of the one hundred and thirty Central Committee members to Moscow, ultimately turning the tide completely.

She never thought that many years later, she would have to do it again, and this time the purpose was completely opposite. For no reason, she remembered the man's decisive tone, "You must stand by Brezhnev, don't be misunderstood by him." Faces deceive.”

"Comrade Ekaterina." In order to increase Fortseva's weight, KGB Chairman Semichasny came with her this time. He spoke because a special plane had already landed.

Following the faces that came off the plane, Fortseva immediately recognized that the Central Committee members of Ukraine had arrived first, "Let's meet them together."

With the KGB Chairman by her side, Fortseva is far more at ease than she was seven years ago. Starting from this noon, she will have to receive people all night long throughout the day and night, and make wise choices after receiving orders from Moscow. .

Fortseva still focused on Ukraine. When Khrushchev returned to Moscow and the sun rose for the third time, First Vice Chairman of the Ukrainian Committee Serdyuko, Central Secretary Olekova, Ivashko, Xie Nin, First Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers, came to the Kremlin with Fortseva.

When Fortseva saw Brezhnev, she said everything was fine. The meeting, which included 170 Central Committee members, officially opened. Brezhnev presided over the meeting. Anonymous voting began and more than 100 Central Committee members expressed their approval. This time Khrushchev did not make a comeback.

Because the vote was anonymous, Brezhnev did not say anything. He just expressed that he was happy for the maturity of all Central Committee members. "Due to his advanced age and deteriorating health, he will satisfy Comrade Khrushchev's request to remove him from office." First Secretary, Member of the Presidium of the Central Committee and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.”

Suslov made a speech and elaborated on his views on collective leadership, "Confirming that it is inappropriate to concentrate the duties of First Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR in one person."

Mikoyan presided over the meeting to elect a new First Secretary and Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Everyone proposed Brezhnev as a candidate for First Secretary of the Central Committee and recommended the appointment of Kosygin as Chairman of the Council of Ministers. He was the leader of the Khrushchev government. One of the two first vice-presidents.

Subsequently, "Izvestia" published news about the Central Committee Plenum and portraits of the country's new leaders, and news of the change in the Soviet leadership began to spread around the world.

"I don't know if this will affect our negotiations with the Soviet Ministry of Culture on film introduction standards." When the big news came, Alan Wilson was in front of Prime Minister Eden.

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet never changed his expression when faced with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even when he learned about the great changes in the Soviet Union, he did not express too much concern.

He didn't know anything else. Anyway, Shelepin's group of cadres aged around 40 years old must have miscalculated. If the KGB had not played its role, Khrushchev would not have stepped down. At this time, Alan Wilson, based on historical analysis, did not know that the cultural czar also played an important role in this time.

"Alan, it seems that Khrushchev's affairs are more important than the negotiations on the introduction of the film." Aiden couldn't help but smile bitterly. The direction of the Cabinet Secretary's attention was really unusual.

"Khrushchev has stepped down, but this negotiation has not yet succeeded, so the latter is more closely related to us." Alan Wilson humbly answered Aiden's question, "Of course, we will make an assessment immediately. This may take several days.”

Facts have proved that everything is either calm or big events are coming one after another. One day later, on the afternoon of October 16, the first atomic bomb independently developed by a certain major country successfully exploded in the northwest, becoming the fifth largest atomic bomb in the world after the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France. a country possessing nuclear weapons. The Nuclear Club has added one more member.

When the news came that there would be another assessment plan in Whitehall, Alan Wilson would definitely not be able to get off work on time these days. He suddenly began to recall the days when he worked in Kuala Lumpur until two o'clock in the afternoon.
