Chapter 456

"You said that this Gaidar was introduced by Yakovlev?" Zhulav asked uneasily.

"Yes, minister, I'm not sure how to arrange this. Gaidar came to ask you. What's your opinion, Minister? " Xie liaosha asked respectfully.

"Let me think about Xie liaosha, and I'll give you an answer in a few days." For a while, zhulavrov was not sure what kind of godliness this Gaidar was, so he planned to put it off first.

After saying goodbye to ruraliov, sheriosha left his office. Just walked out of the room, suddenly found that all the people in the corridor are running forward, Xie liaosha do not understand what happened, quickly grabbed a person to ask what happened.

"Minister ulyanov, general secretary Chernenko seems to have passed away!" After that, the man ran forward. Xie liaosha ran two steps to follow him. He came to the hall, where the TV set was full of people. Xie liaosha pushes the crowd to the front. When people see Xie liaosha coming, they consciously give way to a road.

The announcer on TV is announcing the news of Chernenko's death in a deep voice. First he was a little surprised, then he felt a little sad. Then there was a sense of excitement.

"What a sad day it is Xie liaosha told the crowd that they immediately bowed their heads in silence for general secretary Chernenko, and Xie liaosha joined them. After the silence, Xie liaosha left the unit ahead of time and returned home. During this period, Xie liaosha did not plan to do anything.

……

The news of Chernenko's death disrupted all the political activities in Moscow, but before the news was announced, there was a lot of controversy within the Politburo about the post of chairman of the funeral Committee of general secretary Chernenko.

*****The general voting process of the internal tug of war made no one from gromiko and Gorbachev get the upper hand. Now that jihonov is in charge of the overall situation as a centrist, he can only say helplessly: "comrades, since we can't reach an agreement, I suggest that we leave this matter to the Central Committee for decision. After all, we have just finished the Supreme Soviet conference, and all the members of the Central Committee are still in Moscow. "

Soon after gihonov put forward his proposal, another round of voting took place. This time, because gihonov's party stood with Gorbachev's people, the proposal was passed.

Gromico felt that he might not have no chance to leave it to the Central Committee to make the final decision, so he reluctantly accepted the result.

On the same day, the Kremlin informed all members of the Central Committee of the need to hold an extraordinary plenary meeting of the Central Committee. As a result, the Central Committee members who were ready to return to their homes were told to attend a special meeting of the Supreme Soviet in the morning of the next day.

Yeltsin soon learned the real background behind the sudden meeting through seliosha. Yeltsin has now put all his chips on Gorbachev. Not only he, but also many cadres who have been fighting in the local government for many years take good care of Gorbachev. For them, Gorbachev and reizhkov, who joined the Politburo Standing Committee and other officials in their 50s, are just examples in the officialdom. The reason why officials like Yeltsin stop at the level of local state committees is that the central government has no redundant positions to offer them, Unless an official of gromico's age dies or makes a serious mistake, he can leave his job.

As the plenary session of the Central Committee was closed to the public this time, Xie liaosha, like most ordinary people, could only wait for the final result quietly.

The meeting was held under the chairmanship of gihonov. First of all, we expressed our collective mourning to general secretary Chernenko who had passed away. Then, after gihonov announced the candidate for the next general secretary, the voting began.

Every member of the Central Committee in the great hall has a vote that can decide the future leader of the Soviet Union. Some people fill in the vote without hesitation, while others are in a dilemma. Everyone can see the ballot box in the center of the hall. The fate of many people will be changed because of the result this time.

After Gorbachev finished voting, he returned to his seat with a smile and played a joke with old comrades like gihonov. But only he knew that his heart was about to stop.

Yeltsin put his vote in the ballot box and returned to his seat with no expression. He raised his head and looked enviously at rezhkov in the distance. Feeling a little sad in his heart, he blamed why he didn't work hard any more, so that he could get a promotion early and leave Sverdlovsk.

In silence, the Central Committee is waiting for the final result of the vote counting. Gorbachev forced himself not to pay attention to the numbers on the electronic display screen. He played with the pen on his hand and calmly waited for the choice of fate.

With the progress of the counting work, the number of votes of several candidates on the electronic display began to widen the distance. Gromico's vote was ahead of all the candidates for the time being. Gromico glanced gently, then leaned back on the chair, and his tight body gradually relaxed.

Yeltsin clenched his wounded fist tightly, and a sense of hopelessness rose in his heart.

As the counting continued, Gorbachev's votes miraculously caught up, and the rest of the candidates began to be left far behind by gromiko and Gorbachev.

Gromico couldn't sit any longer. He frowned slightly and stared at the numbers on the screen. Gorbachev is no longer sniffing or looking at the screen. He coldly looks at his votes. Every time the number changes, his heart will twitch.

The number of votes under Gorbachev's name began to increase rapidly. Grishen takes a look at gromico, and then stares at the change of the number. If gromico carries it today, he will not be far away from retirement.

Gorbachev's vote finally surpassed gromiko at an incredible speed. As the counting work came to an end, the whole audience began to applaud, and rezhkov whispered his congratulations to Gorbachev.

When the counting of votes was finally over, there was thunderous applause. Gorbachev, the new general secretary, stood up to greet the comrades present. Members of the Politburo, such as gihonov, began to leave their seats to congratulate Gorbachev on his election.
