Chapter 495: Visiting Zhukov

Historically, until Khrushchev stepped down, he did not become a member of the Central Presidium. He has always been in the position of alternate member, even if he was the vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, the chairman of the Party and the State Supervisory Committee, and the central secretary of the Secretariat. However, his position in the Central Presidium has not taken a step further, and this situation has changed today.

This is a change that Selov brought about in the Soviet Union after ten years. He still commented on his boss. Xie Lieping believed in Stalin's iron-fisted policy and had a strong sense of pride. He always emphasized the importance of class struggle at the meeting. With Khrushchev's favoritism, Xie Lieping, who held several important positions, became a role model for the young Soviet cadre group, with supporters covering all departments of the Soviet central organs and local governments. Yegorechev and Xie Michasne were very convinced by Xie Lieping.

"Maybe this is an important change. At least he will not just fool the people like Brezhnev said!" After announcing the appointment, Selov also followed Brezhnev and Kosigin and others to stand up and applaud, expressing his support for Khrushchev's appointment. In terms of level, Selov is not qualified to attend the Central Presidium meeting, and in fact, this is true. Khrushchev is not his father, and here it is Khrushchev who has something to do to find him.

"That's it?" After the plenary meeting of the Central Presidium, Selov received the task given to him by Khrushchev, but this task was difficult to complete. He said with a difficult face, "The First Secretary, when he was purged of Bonapartists in the Red Army, mainly the General Administration of Military Administration led by me. Many of Zhukov's subordinates were ordered to retire. If I were to do this, it might arouse Zhukov's disgust."

Khrushchev's task was quite difficult. When the KGB accepted the order to identify Zhukov's subordinates after being dismissed, Serov had made a ruthless move and ordered nearly 200 generals to retire in two orders. Now that Marshal Zhukov is back, Khrushchev still asks him to do it. Is the first secretary playing tricks on himself?

"What? Are you a little afraid of Zhukov's return?" Khrushchev asked at Selov with interest.

"Why am I afraid? I'm not wrong. When Zhukov was in charge of the Ministry of Defense, the Red Army was obviously separated. He said that he was Bonapartism at all." Selov said unmovedly, then stood attentively and saluted, "I think if I came forward, Marshal Zhukov might not be moved. He might have to ask my uncle to come forward."

"Marrior Baglamyyang? It's okay." Khrushchev nodded and said, "The influence of Bonapartism no longer exists. It should be nothing to let Marshal Zhukov come out to work again. Yuri, you are the General Political Commissar of National Security. What do you think about this?" Khrushchev himself likes to chat with young people. For the newly promoted General Political Commissar of National Security, he also wants to try the value of this young general political commissar.

"It's fine if you are attending a meeting of the Ministry of National Defense. If you suddenly return to the Ministry of National Defense, it's not accurate. I think the first step is to let Marshal Zhukov attend the military meeting. He is the marshal himself. As long as the first secretary expresses an attitude, I think it's enough." After thinking about it, Selov chose a suggestion with the least risk.

It seems that the successor he selected was at least dissatisfied with, and it was a big blow to Khrushchev. In fact, one or two years before Khrushchev stepped down, he had already begun to correct his reform problems. Since the Cuban missile crisis, although Khrushchev was still condemning him when talking about Stalin, he could also hear certain affirmations. Before the Brezhnev coup in history, Khrushchev was preparing to let Zhukov come out again to preside over the work, but he stepped down without completing the next step.

"Okay, by letting Marshal Zhukov attend the military meeting, let's show my attitude, let's see the reactions of others first." Although Khrushchev felt that Serov's proposal was a bit timid, it was the safest proposal.

Marshal Zhukov's re-emergence came out of the mountains, but unlike history, Marshal Zhukov's resignation and his emergence had a lot to do with him, but in fact it was quite tangled.

Sosnovka is a small city in the southern part of Kirov Prefecture, with a population of less than 10,000. It is beautiful and full of a comfortable atmosphere. It is also a place where Marshal Zhukov cultivates after retirement. According to the report of the State Administration of Espionage, Marshal Zhukov will come out to fish by the river in his spare time. Of course, it is not the fishing season, and Zhukov just goes out for a walk.

Today, the small town welcomed several high-end cars. The car stopped and screamed Selov in the gray military coat. Then he walked directly to the car behind and opened the door of Marshal Baglamyyang's car. Today, Selov brought two Soviet marshals. In addition to Marshal Baglamyyang, there was another Marshal Huasilevsky who kept in contact after Marshal Zhukov retired. If Marshal Rokosovsky was not in Warsaw, Selov would have wanted to invite Marshal Rokosovsky.

"It's a good place, he's pretty good at choosing places." Baglamyan, who was not wearing a marshal's uniform, stopped for a moment and said with a smile to Marshal Huaseyevsky next to him, "When we retire, we will find a quiet place to spend our last few years. We have seen too much smoke in this life, and this kind of comfortable scenery is rare."

"Yes, there are too many smoke and too many painful memories. I wonder how he is now?" Marshal Huasilevsky sighed, then threw away these chaotic thoughts and said, "Actually, I'm not sure. You have been forced to come over this time. Who knows if Zhukov really sees it now."

"If the two uncles can't help, then the entire Soviet Union will have no choice. The old man can't complete the task." Selov asked the security of the General Police Department to disperse, and then smiled bitterly, "If I were to come to Marshal Zhukov, he knew that my identity would probably explode, so he could only ask the two uncles to help."

Marshal Zhukov's dismissal was naturally not related to him, but many of Zhukov's subordinates drove out of the army on the grounds of Bonaparte. If Marshal Victory had not had Alzheimer's disease, he would definitely know that he was the number one person.

What made Zhukov even more painful was that many of his friends who wanted to benefit from him had alienated and even betrayed him. Only several marshals such as Bagramiyan, Vasislevsky and Rokosovsky took risks to maintain a deep friendship with Zhukov.

Fortunately, he was taken care of by Baglamiyang, otherwise this task would be destined to be impossible. Apart from finding a few marshals as lobbyists, it may be possible that Khrushchev could reach an agreement in person.

The two marshals chatted for a while, and several people went to a villa not far away. Zhukov lived here after retirement. The furnishings of the villa were very simple. Like ordinary families in the Soviet Union, they had everything they should have. However, Selov still saw some of the things placed, which were actually products exported to domestic sales by the KGB. In addition, the KGB products may be wiretap machines hidden in the dark.

"Are you Zhukov's personal doctor?" When Selov saw the photo of this person, Dr. Georgi, who served as the director of internal medicine at the Burne Army Hospital. Marshal Zhukov's second wife, Galinna, also worked there.

One day, Galina hurried to find Georgi and begged him to treat her husband Zhukov. Zhukov seemed to have some problems with his heart, and Georgi was the authority for coronary artery sclerosis treatment. Georgi initially hesitated whether to refuse Galina's request. At that time, the "monarch doctor" of the Kremlin treated Zhukov, and he was worried that his rash intervention would cause trouble.

But Georki couldn't bear to refuse Galina, so after reporting to his superiors, he rushed to Zhukov's villa in Sosnovka with Galina. Georki did not expect that in the next nine years, he would become a "frequently" of Zhukov's family. According to Georki's recollection, although Zhukov was plagued by illness, he was still tall and tall. He was serious and even a little self-enclosed. Zhukov's answer to the doctor's questions about the condition was extremely simple, with a standard military style.

"Yes, who are you?" Georgi asked in confusion.

"Political Commissar of the General National Security, Chairman of the National Security Committee, Yuriyefimovic Selov!" Selov extended his hand and introduced himself. (To be continued.)
