Chapter 187

After the meeting, Andropov went back to rest. After all, he was an old man and couldn't always support himself like this. At the meeting just now, Andropov did not agree to the proposal made by zweigon and zinev because he was afraid of the president. But there are more profound reasons. As zweigong and zinev said, this time it is rashdov, the first Secretary of the Uzbek Republic and member of the Political Bureau, who has occupied the position of the first Secretary of the Uzbek Republic for nearly 20 years. Under his leadership, the whole Uzbek Republic has been in a state of malaise. In this way, a large number of local officials were attracted to form a fortress of corruption, and the small Eagles under Andropov could not handle such a big case. But chuerbanov is different. As the son-in-law of general manager, chuerbanov has such a tough backstage as general manager. Even rashdov dare not do anything about him. In principle, chuerbanov is definitely a suitable candidate.

However, Andropov could not help frowning at the thought of chuerbanov. This guy is notoriously unreliable. Far from it, as the chairman of the national anti alcoholism Campaign Committee, chuerbanov himself is a heavy drinker. He often drinks wherever he goes. It's common for him to get drunk and be unconscious. To send such a man to the Uzbek Republic, it seems that the Dnieper gang of the general assembly is trying to help rachidov cover up his crime. It's expected. It's no big deal. Thinking of this, Andropov thought to himself that it was ridiculous. Did they think I could do nothing about it! We can't run away with rashdov. If chuerbanov dares to play any tricks, I don't mind taking you down together.

Andreapov went to rest directly after he returned to the room. He had already made a move, and the rest was decided by others. On the contrary, the next day's trip to Gorky made Andropov look forward to something. Andropov was impressed by the senior official of the regiment, Xie liaosha. In fact, Andropov had an extraordinary memory and the ability to never forget. Although he didn't have much contact, Andropov still remembers that seryosha was the Soviet hero, and he used to be a rogue leader. However, because of his great achievements, all the Disgraces in his files were erased.

Gorky city is not far from Moscow. It's only a few hours' drive. However, cadres like Andropov can enjoy the special train. From Moscow, Andropov has arrived in Gorky city in less than an hour. As soon as he got off the train, the governor of Gorky state, senior party officials and other cadres had been waiting on the platform of the station. Andropov stepped off the train, shook hands with them one by one, and then took a group photo. Then he declined everyone's invitation and went to the place where he lived alone. When the bus drove to the hotel, it was time for many units to leave work. However, Andropov did not find any sign of queuing after passing several state-owned stores. This made him very confused. Any unusual sign could not escape the eyes of the KGB leader. He immediately told the driver to stop the car. The driver stopped the car by the side of the road. Andropov got out of the car and walked slowly towards a state-owned shop by the side of the road.

Andropov pushed the door open, he deliberately lowered his hat brim, do not want to be recognized. Several salesmen in the shop are getting together and chatting about something. He looked around and found that there were a lot of goods around. He nodded his head with satisfaction. He walked in a few steps and asked the salesmen, "do you have enough goods here?"

"Do you want to go shopping? We have nothing here. Let's go to the mutual aid market! There's everything there! " A salesman answered, and then chatted with his colleagues.

"Where is the fraternity market? I don't think you have a lot of things here? " Asked Andropov.

"I think you are from other places! Our local people have not come here to buy things for a long time. These are exhibits. If you really want to buy it, you have to come back tomorrow. I suggest you go to the mutual aid market to have a look! " The salesman replied, not recognizing Andropov at all.

Andropov left the shop in a dejected mood. He casually asked a passer-by the location of the fraternity market. Then he went back to the car and ordered the driver to go to the fraternity market for a turn.

Although the driver was a little strange, he didn't dare to disobey Andropov's order. The car went straight to Gorky automobile factory. When they got out of the car, Andropov was surprised by the crowd.

Andropov stepped out of the car and squeezed into the crowd. The staff around him quickly followed him. The goods on the market were dazzling, which made Andropov an eye opener. In the distance, someone drove a truck to pull a whole truck of potatoes. A group of women gathered around to buy potatoes. Andropov watched from a distance and could not help thinking of his years in democratic Germany. As one of the best economic countries in the whole socialist camp, democratic Germany is generally known as "the window of socialism", where some professional farmers and artists are allowed to carry out private economy. Therefore, there are several fixed places in the city that have always been famous flea markets. Where did Andropov go, He was deeply impressed by the prosperity there. Now he saw this scene in Gorky City, which made him recall his days in democratic Germany.

Andropov walked around the market a few times and found a lot of foreign goods, including those from Italy and democratic Germany. Andropov knew in his heart that there must be a lot of unidentified goods mixed in it. Andropov could not help frowning. Andropov inquired about the location of the fraternity. He wanted to see what the fraternity was.

The fraternity is also in the factory area of the automobile factory, not far from the black market. It's only ten minutes' walk away. Andropov went straight to the fraternity. He wanted to see why the fraternity sold smuggled goods. When he came to the door of the fraternity, a poster on the bulletin board outside attracted his attention.

Some names and sums of money were recorded on the poster. Andropov read it for a long time before he understood what kind of poster it was. It turned out that the accounts of the mutual aid association were open, and all the money spent was recorded on it, and each one was clearly written. This made Andropov have a lot of good feelings for the fraternity in his heart.

Andropov secretly concluded: "in general, it's a good idea. Although it's not legal to resell smuggled goods, there are still many flaws."
