Chapter 237 Director of the Grain Production Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture

In less than a week, word spread that Nikolai's men had buried their impersonators alive under highways throughout eastern Russia, Ukraine, and nearby Slav gangs in Belarus. These gangs were all intimidated by Nicholas' ruthless methods. In order to fight back, the members of the Songcawo Brotherhood immediately released the wind. They threatened that Nicholas' people had broken the tradition of the gang, and they wanted to enter Moscow to fight Nicholas to the end.

Although this matter was raging in the underground world, the police and KGB were much more insensitive. The dozens of bodies buried under the Third Ring Road were not exhumed until a month later. The traces on the site have long been destroyed by the construction workers. After those workers found out that someone had helped them repair a section of the road the next day, they did not report it, nor did they make a public announcement. Instead, they happily took it as the result of their labor. . After investigation, the KGB and the Ministry of the Interior learned that this was a vendetta between gangs. Even if there were clues, it would be useless to catch those who directly did it. And the police knew very well that even if they suspected that a certain law thief brother was a criminal suspect, there was nothing they could do. Because people who take the initiative to go to jail can even fill up the prisons in Moscow. Gang members are not afraid of prisons, and they are proud of the crimes of law thieves.

Although Seryozha did not directly decide the lives and deaths of these people, he was clear about these matters. The death of these people was not a pity. I don't know how many precious daughters of these people were trafficked abroad by these people and used as tools to earn money for foreign men to ruin. Seryozha didn't feel any burden on his conscience, he just wasn't used to this way of doing things. Since the establishment of the Gorky Brotherhood, it has basically gone smoothly, and this is the first time that it has relied solely on violence to solve problems. When the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" reported this incident at the beginning, Seryozha still had some worries and fears, but judging from the feedback from various channels, the police seemed to have no intention of continuing to entangle these matters.

If Seryozha had known what was going on in the Kremlin, he might have understood why the police had reacted so strangely. There is only one reason, and that is that Comrade Supreme Leader Andropov is ill. His kidneys have failed, and he can only live on dialysis in the hospital bed every day. The way he handles official duties depends on the secretary to help him read out the documents, and then Signed by him to make instructions. Andropov's health has always been poor, and he has already suffered from serious chronic diseases when he was in the KGB. Now the doctor has almost sentenced him to death, so he can only lie quietly on the bed and wait for that day to come.

Andropov dared not tell his comrades in the Politburo about his health status. Only Gorbachev, whom he trusted, knew about this matter. The current situation in the Soviet Union is not very good at home and abroad. The domestic opposition has been preparing for a counterattack, while abroad, the United States is wooing its allies to block the Soviet Union's economy. Although domestic production efficiency and economic conditions have improved, and the shortage of materials has eased, it is still far from being able to completely reverse the decline of the Soviet economy.

"General Secretary, Secretary Gorbachev is here to visit you!" The staff around Andropov reported to him.

"Let him wait outside for a while!" Andropov replied without opening his eyes, continuing to wait for the end of the dialysis.

After nearly half an hour, Andropov finished his treatment, changed his clothes, and walked to the reception room. Gorbachev saw the general secretary come in and got up quickly. After shaking hands, the two sat on their seats. Andropov's forehead was already sweating.

"What's the matter, is there something to report to me, how is the plan to replenish people's livelihood supplies going?" Andropov asked proactively.

"The Mediterranean Trading Company is going well. They and foreign trading companies have stabilized their exchange of resources for basic agricultural products. They can basically provide the import quantity we stipulated every month..." Gorbachev explained in detail to the general manager. The secretary introduced his work.

"Very well, it seems that young cadres can also take on great responsibilities!" After listening to Gorbachev's report, Andropov said,

Complimented with satisfaction.

"Actually, I came to you today not just to report on my work. As you said, Comrade Ulyanov is a rare talent. I want to transfer Comrade Ulyanov to the agricultural department to take on more important tasks. Too much work," Gorbachev said bluntly.

"What about the workers' new village?" Andropov asked back.

Gorbachev was at a loss for words for a while, but he quickly reflected, and then said: "I can let Comrade Ulyanov continue to serve as a part-time member of the Youth League Committee, but the Youth League Committee is always a training base for young cadres. In the final analysis, they still have to leave. The Youth League Committee is responsible for the actual work. I think this is also very beneficial to the personal development of Comrade Ulyanov!"

"What position do you plan to arrange for Ulyanov to take up in the Ministry of Agriculture?" Andropov asked worriedly.

"The position of director of the Food Production Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture is just vacant. I want Comrade Ulyanov to act as the director of this bureau temporarily. Comrade Ulyanov has a deep understanding of foreign food production management. I think he He is the best candidate for this position." Gorbachev patiently explained.

"I agree in principle, but the New Moscow Workers' Village cannot be delayed. It is the hope of the Moscow workers. If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem!" Andropov finally warned.

Andropov got up and shook hands with Gorbachev to say goodbye. At this moment, Gorbachev said to Andropov in a low voice: "I heard that Chernenko went to visit Gero in secret. Miko!"

"I see!" Andropov didn't say much. After taking his hand back, he left the room with the support of the staff, leaving only a disappointed Gorbachev.

Gorbachev, who had left the Kremlin, felt a little disappointed. He wanted to remind Mr. An to pay attention to Chernenko's little tricks, but Mr. An was indifferent. In this year's anti-government national movement, Gromyko's student, Moscow City Party Secretary Grishin, was involved, which caused a rift between Gromyko and Mr. An, who originally had the same political appeal. Now Chernenko's faction is beginning to take the initiative to win over Gromyko and Grishin. What will happen to their future if the two platoons join forces.

"Recently, the KGB seems to have fallen asleep. The domestic anti-corruption campaign has suddenly and silently stopped. The cases of many officials who have been verified have also been suspended by the judicial organs. Even the case that happened in Moscow a few days ago The KGB is also indifferent to the vicious case, has Mr. An really given up?" Gorbachev said with emotion.
