Chapter 242 Joining the Army

"Originally, the General Secretary's body has recovered, but it has become worsened a few days ago. Now, the General Secretary needs to rest, so it is best not to go out for activities, especially not to get cold." Brezhnev's personal doctor said to the senior officials who were asking at the door.

A few days ago, he looked good, but when he heard that General Tsvigon was killed by his bastard son, Brezhnev was furious and followed, heart disease and high blood pressure were all dealt with again.

"The General Secretary should have more rest," said Chernenko.

"But the October Revolutionary Parade will start in another two hours. At this time, the General Secretary must not be there!" Andropov's tone was firm: "Otherwise, the West will launch an irrespectful public opinion attack on us."

Now, the Red Square outside has already begun to prepare for it. The annual October Revolutionary Military Parade is unstoppable, and this year, the same is true.

However, at this time, the top leaders of the Red Empire were not in the Kremlin, but in the nearby hospitals, a fierce debate was being held.

Originally, the General Secretary's health had begun to improve, but new things that happened made the General Secretary's health start to get sick again, and the military parade was about to begin!

"So what if Western journalists distort our military parade? Anyway, the West has always been vilifying us, especially after we occupied northern Hokkaido, the Western world led by the United States has always accused us of being invaders. Compared with Western public opinion, our general secretary's body is the most important. If this military parade makes the general secretary's condition worsen, who will bear this responsibility?" Cheernenko argued reasonably.

"Yes, the body of the General Secretary is the most important." said Sherbizky, the first secretary of the Ukrainian Republic, behind Chernenko.

"The October Revolution, the revolution led by our great revolutionary mentor, Comrade Lenin and the Bolsheviks led by Comrade Trotsky, is the most important commemoration in the country. Even during World War II, the Nazi iron hooves had already moved to the suburbs of Moscow, and the military parade here was still normal, and the general secretary of the country has never been absent! Everyone, from the establishment of our great Soviet Union, to the present, there has never been absent from the General Secretary. Now, if our general secretary does not go, how can we explain to our people? How can we explain to our motherland?" Andropov gave people a very quiet impression. He was wearing glasses like an old scholar, but now, he was sharp and passionate.

After saying that, Andropov said to Gromiko who was hiding behind him: "Gromiko. What do you think? If the General Secretary does not participate in our military parade, how can our diplomatic department explain this reason? Also, if our General Secretary does not stand on the reviewing stand, who should stand in that position? You all have your own ideas to stop the General Secretary from reviewing the army?"

At this time, the eyes in Andropov's eyes were already quite sharp. His words were like a bolt from the blue, making it impossible for everyone to refute.

The General Secretary does not go to the inspection. Who will replace the General Secretary to inspect the army? Isn’t this the intention of being the successor of the General Secretary? Now, although the General Secretary is sick, he is not as ill as he is, who dares to stand up?

Andropov's eyes swept over Chernenko, Serbizky, and the faces of those who stopped the General Secretary from reviewing the army, as if they were asking them, are they you? Are you trying to replace the General Secretary?

Everyone who was looked at by him had a trembling feeling in his heart. Before he knew it, the KGB had developed to a point that was fearful!

The KGB is a gun of the Soviet General Secretary. It has great power to check and balance the Western world externally and supervise all officials internally. The KGB chairman must be a person trusted by the General Secretary.

Andropov has been in the position of KGB chairman for ten years! He was the core team who initially supported the Brezhnev's coup and seized power. He was deeply trusted by Brezhnev and had Zvegon as his assistant. Brezhnev never thought about checking and balancing Andropov. Later, the power of the KGB became increasingly greater and greater. Until now, it has developed into a giant unconsciously. Andropov's power is almost the same as that of Beria at that time!

Gromiko's mouth trembled. As the most outstanding diplomat in the Soviet Union, Gromiko had a tongue that was perfect, but now Gromiko knew that he could not say anything.

Psychologically, he did not want the General Secretary to inspect the army. The General Secretary's body is the most important. If there is a problem with the General Secretary's body, the entire Soviet Union will be in chaos again. Who can be loved by his subordinates like General Secretary Brezhnev? Especially the lifelong cadre system, which almost everyone cheered.

However, he cannot support Chernenko and Serbizky now because he knows that these two people are staring at the position of the General Secretary, especially Serbizky. As a later generation, he is more popular with General Secretary Brezhnev. Andropov raised a very sharp question. If the General Secretary doesn't go, who will occupy the position of the General Secretary? If the result of the discussion is that the General Secretary does not go, then there will definitely be a fight for this position.

The scene became cold for a moment.

"Gazhizhi." At this moment, the door inside opened. Everyone looked over with surprised eyes and saw that General Secretary Brezhnev was already dressed neatly, and the medal on his chest was full of hanging, emitting dazzling light under the light.

"General Secretary..." Gromiko asked Brezhnev.

"The October Revolutionary Military Parade is the most sacred moment of our Soviets. As the General Secretary, I must not be absent!" At this moment, Brezhnev seemed to have returned to the time when he first came to power. His tone was full of pride, but his face was still pale.

"Let's go, join the military parade!" Brezhnev said, and walked forward with his legs spread.

Everyone could only follow behind, leave the hospital, get in the car, and head straight to Red Square.

Here is already a lively scene, with a crowd of people, and in the distance, there are queues in blocks waiting for inspection.

The cold wind blew and blew on my face, as if it was cut by a knife. November 1977 was the coldest November in history!

The nations growing in the cold land will never fear this bad weather! The Soviet people are invincible!
