Chapter 248 Ending

Want to fight with me? Are you worthy? Andropov looked coldly at Sherbitsky opposite him.

What does Sherbitsky have? He is just the First Secretary of Ukraine. It is just that in the past few months, he has won the appreciation of General Secretary Brezhnev by flattering him!

Even if General Secretary Brezhnev could speak in the last few days and decided that Sherbitsky would be the successor, he would have a chance to turn the tables! As long as he could get Ustinov's support and didn't make the mistake of being arrogant like Beria, he would have absolute hope!

Sherbitsky, without Brezhnev, he is nothing! After receiving reports from his subordinates, Sherbitsky met with Chernenko and Suslov, Andropov personally went out and had a detailed talk with Suslov. The most important thing was to talk about his ideal of governing the country! This ideal touched Suslov, and it also meant that Sherbitsky's dream was shattered!

Just rely on the guard next to him? Now, that guard has been closely monitored by Unit A. If a conflict really occurs, the guard will be killed in a few seconds!

What was Beria's mistake? He had the upper hand, but he chose to wait! He didn't dare to take action!

At this moment, Sherbitsky did not dare to meet Andropov's gaze. Andropov turned his head and looked at Chernenko on the other side.

This guy is Andropov's old enemy.

This guy Chernenko met Brezhnev in the early 1950s and was appreciated by Brezhnev. He then worked with Brezhnev and was an important member of the "Dnieper Gang". He was known as Brezhnev's "chief steward."

The Dnieper Gang! This bureaucratic system built up by Brezhnev was the root of Soviet corruption! Andropov had long wanted to eradicate it.

The full name of the Dnieper Gang is the "Dnieper Gang". Brezhnev was born in Dnieperdzerzhinsk, Ukraine, graduated from the Dnieper Metallurgical Institute, and served as the first secretary of the Dnieper Provincial Committee. Those fellow Dnieper people, as well as Brezhnev's colleagues or subordinates when he worked in Dnieper, were the primary people Brezhnev relied on after assuming the top leadership position. Of course, what he relied on was not their talents and abilities, but their incomparable loyalty.

For example, Sherbitsky was from Dnepropetrovsk. He served as the first secretary of the provincial party committee and was elected as a member of the Communist Party of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian GC.

These people all rose to prominence because of Brezhnev's connections. Now that Brezhnev is gone, do they still want to continue their bureaucratic rule? That is absolutely impossible!

"Comrade Chernenko, what do you think about Comrade Andropov taking over as General Secretary?" Just as Andropov looked at Chernenko, Suslov began to ask the old man for his opinion.

It's not time to vote yet! Chernenko, the old man, is another breakthrough point. Suslov, who has never been very prominent, now fully plays his role.

Chernenko! At this time, his statement is the most important! As long as he stands up and denounces Andropov, pointing out that Andropov is the biggest reason for the General Secretary's death! It was he who conspired to harm the General Secretary! He still has hope! Sherbitsky was extremely nervous. Suslov had already betrayed him, and only Chernenko was left!

Speak up, then! Sherbitsky's hand quietly reached for the briefcase, which contained a hard pistol. At the critical moment, he was not afraid of bloodshed!

Chernenko raised his head and met Andropov's gaze. That cold look was filled with murderous intent!

This guy is definitely someone who dares to kill! If the General Secretary's death is really related to him, he can even plot to kill the General Secretary, let alone himself?

At this moment, Chernenko began to feel inexplicably panicked.

"I, I also agree that Comrade Andropov should be our general secretary. Only he can lead our Soviet Union to become strong," said Chernenko.

Damn it! No courage at all! At this moment, Sherbitsky got excited and touched the hard object in the briefcase and took it out from under the table.

What are you afraid of! You are all frightened by Andropov's momentum! Take out your guns and see who they listen to!

Sherbitsky reached into his briefcase and felt the pistol. Why didn't it feel cold like metal? He lowered his head and saw that what he had taken out was not a pistol at all! It was an exquisite model gun! It could only fire plastic bullets that flew with the help of springs!

Damn it! At this moment, Sherbitsky's whole body went cold. He had been holding the briefcase in his hand all along. He had only asked his secretary to hold it temporarily when he went to the toilet before coming in. Now, he finally knew that his secretary must also be a member of the KGB! The KGB is omnipresent!

Many of the things I did involved the participation of my secretary, and the KGB must have known all of that clearly. After Andropov came to power, the first person he dealt with was me!

As if falling into an ice cellar, Sherbitsky finally realized the horror of the KGB. He alone could not compete with Andropov!

Fortunately, he had just taken the pistol out from below, but when he realized something was wrong and it had been swapped, he immediately put the pistol back.

There was a buzzing in his ears and he couldn't hear anything. Sherbitsky saw people around him raising their hands one after another. What were they doing?

"Okay, everyone raise your hands to vote. Oh, only Comrade Sherbitsky did not raise his hand. Comrade Andropov has been recognized by more than 90% of the comrades and is our new General Secretary of the Central Committee!" Suslov said: "Let us welcome Comrade Andropov to speak with warm applause!"

"Our country is the most powerful country in the world, but now, some of our comrades have begun to rest on their laurels and gradually become estranged from the people. They have forgotten our Soviet Party program and the promises made by Comrade Lenin when he led our Bolshevik uprising! Now, the focus of our party is to rectify discipline and improve party style! We must fight more vigorously against any violation of the party's discipline and laws!" Andropov gave his inaugural speech impromptu, not afraid of these people's disgust! Andropov is to thoroughly rectify the order of the country!
