Chapter 397

Since Xie liaosha made a report in the Secretariat, with Gorbachev's help, he has become a model among young cadres almost overnight. You should know that Xie liaosha is only 25 years old now, and he is a monster among officials of his level.

Before returning home, he had expected Gorbachev to show him something, but he didn't expect to set himself up as a youth model. A large part of this is due to foreign minister gromiko, who has been against Gorbachev for a long time. Gorbachev is now the youngest member of the Politburo and the only one under the age of 65. However, in the promotion sequence in the Soviet Union, age became Gorbachev's disadvantage. The Soviet Union was not a feudal country, and Stalin was the last national leader to decide his successor. Since Brezhnev, almost all the decisions of the country are the result of the collective vote of the Politburo, and even the supreme leader has no right to make decisions without authorization.

Andropov had hoped that Gorbachev could take over the position of general secretary, but the people of general secretary B such as Chernenko and gihonov and the people of gromiko reached a secret agreement behind Andropov's back, and Chernenko became general secretary. This matter was revealed to Gorbachev by Andropov's widow. Perhaps for the purpose of appeasement, Chernenko made Gorbachev his deputy. However, it is a conventional rule for the candidates who are out of the competition to retire at the next Party Congress. Gorbachev's political future has almost been sentenced to death. As long as there is no accident, gromico will take over the post of general secretary after Chernenko.

The invitation to visit the United Kingdom gave Gorbachev a chance to turn over. After all, it was also a very important political chip for the leaders of the Soviet Union to be recognized by the international community. Moreover, gromiko was still the foreign minister. If Gorbachev had been defeated in diplomacy, Then the cadres in the party naturally think that Gorbachev is more capable than gromico.

Now Xie liaosha has been thoroughly branded as a Gorbachev faction, and has become the most effective cadre among the Gorbachev faction (Yakovlev committed the crime of ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^. Only when seryosha is raised to a higher position can Gorbachev's age not be taken into account. Therefore, in addition to the contradiction in the kitchen, the promotion of seliosha has once again become the focus of the struggle between gromiko and Gorbachev.

After Gorbachev instructed the state media to publicize Xie liaosha's advanced deeds, Gorbachev proposed to let Xie liaosha take over the vacancies left by several dead members of the Central Committee at a regular meeting of the Political Bureau's personnel arrangement, and enter the Central Committee as ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^. General secretary Chernenko didn't say anything, but gromico and grishen strongly opposed it.

"I'm against it. This kind of promotion at a higher level is simply a contempt for our cadre selection system and a serious violation of the principle of organizational appointment of cadres. It is a serious injustice to those cadres who step up step by step! " Gromico said aloud, clapping the table.

"Is that fair to cadres as capable as Xie liaosha? The ruins in the south of Moscow have been deserted for many years. If it wasn't for seliosha, it would still be the same there now! After two years as a senior official of the Communist Youth League, Xie liaosha has solved the old problems that Moscow has not solved for more than ten years! " Gorbachev said rudely. Regardless of the feelings of senior Moscow official grishen, grishen's angry hand trembled, but he could not refute what Gorbachev said.

"I don't know much about Comrade Xie liaosha, but I also know something about him. He is really capable, but it's too much fun to be a member of the Central Committee at the age of 25?" Jihonov, chairman of the joint ministerial meeting, said.

"Is it because of these unreasonable reasons that such a capable comrade is put aside to waste his talent?" Gorbachev retorted.

Chernenko did not speak. He glared at gihonov. Chernenko thought that now it is Gorbachev and gromiko who are going to fight each other. What do you want jihonov to say? Do you also want to be a candidate for general secretary?

In fact, from the heart of Gorbachev, he also knows that it's too unrealistic to fight for a central committee member for seliosha. In fact, Gorbachev would prefer shariosha to enter the Ministry of foreign trade to take charge of economic cooperation with the UK, because Yakovlev told him that shariosha has a strong network in the UK. As for the job of the Ministry of agriculture, Gorbachev did not intend to let seryosha continue, because Gorbachev knew that it was not an easy job.

"Comrade grishen, Comrade Xie liaosha has been working in your Youth League Committee for so many years, and he is more or less familiar with it. What's your evaluation of this comrade?" Chernenko doesn't want the regular meeting of the Politburo to be entangled by the endless contradictions between Gorbachev and gromiko, but it seems that if he doesn't speak, today's meeting won't be over.

"This comrade has some abilities, especially in economy and trade, but he always interferes in the work of other departments. In addition, I heard from his subordinates that this comrade is somewhat arbitrary in his work. I think he is too young to stay in Moscow for a few more years! " Grishen said with another purpose.

Chernenko knew that grishen would not praise shario. What he wanted was this effect. He wanted to tell Gorbachev with grishen's mouth that the central committee member of shariosha had better not think about it. Now Chernenko has jumped out of the factional struggle of the Politburo and stood in a higher position to think about the problem. He knew what he should pay most attention to, that is, to boost the economy of the Soviet Union. Andropov carried out a series of reforms when he was in office, which really improved the current situation of food and daily necessities shortage to a certain extent. Chernenko thinks Andropov's idea is correct. Chernenko is aware of his series of actions in Britain. He recognizes the cadre's ability in foreign trade. But it's impossible to be a member of the Central Committee.

"I would like to say that our Ministry of national defense has always hoped that Comrade Xie liaosha would come back to the army. He is a hero of the Soviet Union and has rich management experience. Our logistics support department is short of such a capable cadre." Secretary of defense Ustinov spoke. This is what he meant. The army is Xie liaosha's mother's family. The farther the typical figures set up by the army go in officialdom, the more favorable it is for the Ministry of national defense.

"Comrade Gorbachev, what do you think of transferring Xie liaosha to the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation as assistant minister? Jihonov, you're in charge. Can you arrange it? " Chernenko asked in an unquestionable tone.

"No problem, General Secretary!" Replied gihonov.

"I agree, General Secretary!" Gorbachev is right in the eye.

"Well, let's show our hands." Chernenko raised his hand. Assistant minister is a deputy ministerial position, and the appointment of officials at this level needs the democratic vote of Politburo members.

Soon, everyone in the room raised their hands. Chernenko nodded and said, "that's it! Comrade ulyanov was removed from the post of director of the grain production bureau of the Ministry of agriculture and transferred to the post of Assistant Minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation
