"Dangdang..."

The distant and loud bells spread through the heavy window curtains into the office that is brightly illuminated all night...com

Looking up from the pile of documents on the desk, Chu Sinan first subconsciously glanced at the window, then raised his hands and rubbed the already numb sun. It was another sleepless night. Since sitting in the office that originally belonged to Tukhachevsky, Chu Sinan seemed to have adapted to this kind of life of dealing with state affairs all night long. There is no doubt that everyone is envious of the huge power he has, and everyone is also hoping to sit in this office like him one day, but how much price does it cost to be paid? How many people can understand it?

Rubbing his neck, which was already sore, and then stood up from the chair and did two chest expansion actions. Chu Sinan slowly walked to the window, raised his hand, and suddenly lifted the thick window curtain.

Suddenly, a curtain of golden sunlight rushed into the room. The strong light made Chu Sinan, who had never closed his eyes all night, feel a violent dizziness. The blood-filled eyes were bulging. Even if he closed his eyes, he still felt the stars flying in front of him, red, yellow, blue and green... all kinds of colors were tangled back and forth in his eyelids, feeling indescribable discomfort.

After a long time, when the discomfort disappeared, Chu Sinan opened his eyes again, endured the tingling sensation in his eye socket, reached out to take out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket, lit one for himself, and then stood in front of the window, quietly looking out the window.

The work this night really made Chu Sinan feel physically and mentally exhausted. The documents submitted by the various standing committees of the Alliance Academy, the documents submitted by the various standing committees of the Nationalities Academy, the proposals to be reviewed by the Supreme Soviet Presidium, etc. These things need to be reviewed by him personally, and to provide guidance and decisive reviews. The advantage of grasping the power of the Party, government, and military is that he has monopolized his power, his status is solid and unshakable, and the disadvantage is that he must be buried in various piles of documents all day long and cannot escape.

Since Chu Sinan proposed the first five-year construction plan after the war has been issued, over the past period, both the Alliance Academy, the Nationalities Academy, or the Ministerial Council have shifted their main experiences from war to the formulation of construction planning. Seventy-four ministries and commissions affiliated with the Council of Ministers have formulated a rough work step according to the general idea of ​​the five-year construction planning. Don’t think that planning and construction is a very simple task, and the problems in it are very complicated. The allocation of resources, the orientation of labor, the coordination of economic development and inflation, etc. These are all kinds of problems that seem to be inconsistent but are closely related.

Everyone needs to be considered clearly in advance. Chu Sinan is the final decision-maker, but this does not mean that he is more skilled than those experts. On the contrary, he can even be said to know nothing about these aspects. Fortunately, he, the decision-maker who made the final decision, is actually just a "signer". The documents submitted are sorted by experts from all walks of life. All he has to do is sign his name behind the documents. But even so, he is still very tired. After all, he has to look at those things. He also has to think about them by himself, especially when it comes to conflicts between various departments, and his opinions are needed to coordinate.

Although the war has not ended yet, conflicts between various ministries and institutions have already emerged. Just like in the past two days, the National Academy of Nationalities and the National Academy of Nationalities have had a quarrel with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Defense Industry. According to the Proposal of the Planning and Budget Committee, since the war has reached the end of the stage, and after the war is over, the main work of the Soviet state will also shift to the general direction of economic construction, in order to save all aspects of expenditure, the military does not need to maintain the kind of magnificent period of war.

Large troops are equipped. Millions of troops will undoubtedly consume a large amount of state funds, and the huge military-industrial system that matches this will undoubtedly require even larger funds to replenish. This part of the expenditure will account for nearly 40% of the national budget. In an era of economic development, these expenditures will obviously become a burden. Based on this, the Planning and Budget Committee proposed to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet that it should start from now on, part of the army should be abolished and some military-industrial enterprises should be transformed, thereby reducing national defense budget expenditures.

There is no doubt that the proposal of the Planning and Budget Committee touched the fundamental interests of the entire military based on the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Defense Industry. Logically speaking, the Planning and Budget Committee affiliated to the two houses must have higher power and status than the two military ministries and commissions affiliated to the Council of Ministers. But now the problem arises. As the supreme leader, Chu Sinan, who was born in the military, had an extremely close relationship with the military. The two military ministries and commissions believed that they had his support, so they did not buy it at all.

At the hearing of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet held two days ago, Zhukov, who had just been appointed as Minister of Defense, cursed several members of the Planning and Budget Committee, and even wanted to give him old fists. If Chu Sinan had not arrived in time, the hearing venue of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet would have been staged.

Chu Sinan felt a little tricky about the conflict between the military and the Program and Budget Committee. From the perspective of economic development, the Program and Budget Committee's proposal to withdraw troops and reduce budgets makes sense. However, from the perspective of national security, Chu Sinan also knew that the end of World War II did not mean that the Soviet Union's national security would be safe. After all, the end of the war means that the Cold War period that lasted for decades is coming. It is not unnecessary to maintain a high level of vigilance and high investment in defense budgets.

How to find a point of intact between the two? This is the problem Chu Sinan needs to solve in the end.

A cigarette burned out quickly and walked to his desk. He first slapped the cigarette butts in the ashtray. Chu Sinan then pressed the bell on the table.

"Dongdong!"

After a moment, two slight knocks on the door were remembered.

"Come in." Chu Sinan turned around and said in the direction of the door.

"General. Have you not closed your eyes all night?" The door opened, and Lucoonki's strong figure appeared in the office. He stood at the door, glanced at the desk lamp that was still on, and then said.

"Well," Chu Sinan nodded, then pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile, "There are problems everywhere, and the eyes are full of documents. Where can I sleep? It is a critical period, and the reconstruction work after the war is about to begin. There will definitely be more things to deal with, hey. After a while, I think it will be better after a while."

"Then you have to pay attention to rest," Lucoonki walked to his desk, turned off the lamp, and said, "If you continue like this, even if you are so stubborn, you will not be able to withstand it."

"Haha. OK," Chu Sinan reached out to pat Lukoonki's shoulder and smiled, "I will pay attention, well, you go and prepare a breakfast for me now. Oh, yes, you have had no breakfast. If not, let them prepare two, let us eat here together, and then you go out with me."

"Oh, where?" Lucoonki asked casually.

"Academy of Science," Chu Sinan said with a smile, "Today there is a gathering of elites. If I don't go and see it, I will definitely regret it."

What Chu Sinan said is actually the military weapon bidding and evaluation meeting that will be held at the experimental base of the Academy of Sciences. The main decisive topic is to select a new and more advanced standard rifle weapon to replace the various rifle weapons currently used by the army. Originally, things like this were handled by the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Defense Industry. As the supreme leader, Chu Sinan decided to go there at all, but Chu Sinan decided to go there today, and he must go there, for no other reason, just because he saw a person on the list of developers participating in the competition, Kalashnikov, Kalashnikov, known as the "gun king". Chu Sinan is a soldier and got up to work with the China Brigade. The most widely used rifles in the Chinese army are the rifles improved based on Kalashnikov's A-series. Just imagine, how could he not be interested in the appearance of this "gun king"?

"Oh, the general is talking about the battle between Simonov and Kalashnikov, right?" Lukoonki smiled. "In fact, there is no suspense. In my opinion, Comrade Simonov is more likely to win. After all, he is a veteran in this area, and Comrade Kalashnikov is still a little younger. Even though he is very smart, his smart mind can never replace his rich experience."

"No, no, Lukoonki, I can't agree with your point of view," Chu Sinan waved his hand and denied it. "In contrast to your opinion, I am more optimistic about Comrade Kalashnikov. I have seen his design principles and concepts. There is no doubt that it is a brand new and very attractive design plan. Well, maybe we will know the result when we go to the scene to see it."

Chu Sinan's confidence in Kalashnikov is definitely not aimless. He did see the design plan submitted by Kalashnikov this time: rotary locking bolt; bolt body, piston and piston rod welded together with screws; thirty-round arc clips; single-shot, fully automatic shooting methods, etc. This is the original version of the A-47 experimental type. Although Kalashnikov's name was a-44, Chu Sinan still saw it at a glance. This is his favorite prototype of the a-47, but it seemed to have appeared a few years ago.

History is indeed changing, and the renewal of weapons is also changing. The legendary rifle A-47, which should have appeared in 1947 and became popular all over the world, armed the armies of more than 50 countries around the world and led the world rifle tribe trend for nearly 50 years, actually appeared at this time.

"The United States exports Coca-Cola, Japan exports Sony appliances, and the Soviet Union exports a sentence full of irony but realistic words, which seems to be realized soon.

Lukoonki obviously disagreed with Chu Sinan's point of view, but he did not continue to argue. With a shrug, the guard who had been following the leader for several years changed the topic and said, "If the general wants to go to the Academy of Sciences, he may have to wait until ten o'clock, because Comrade Suslov has arrived, and you promised to meet him this morning. Also, you didn't go back last night, and I think Comrade Gilnilova may come here later. Well, Comrade Zhukov has returned to the Western Front, but there is still a document that needs to be transferred to you, about the military parade."

"Oh, my God!" Chu Sinan brushed his face with his hands and sighed, "Forget it, let Comrade Suslov come over, well, and more. Go and prepare breakfast quickly and take Comrade Zhukov's documents by the way. Damn. These guys can't bear to give me even an hour of quietness!"

Suslov came to Chu Sinan today. This young man who was also from the military but preferred to politics is a person Chu Sinan is currently optimistic about. Perhaps the matter of reconciling conflicts between the military and the government must also fall into this young man. Chu Sinan will not forget the later evaluation of this young man, "Gray-clothed bishop", "socialist ascetic", "**Purgatory", etc. His influence began to emerge from the post-Stalin period, and then spread the regime change of three or four generations of Soviet leaders such as Khrushchev and Brezhnev. If he had no skills in his political tumbler, who would believe it?

"Evergreen in the political arena"? Now Chu Sinan needs such people and needs to use their wisdom to alleviate the various contradictions in his own regime system. Of course, what is imminent is to alleviate the contradictions between the military and the government.

"If the general feels a little tired, I can ask him to go back first and let him come back again." Lukoongi asked tentatively. To be honest, he not only has a little fear of the boss he is protecting, but also has a little respect, but also a bit of closeness to his close friends. He has been following this general for several years, from the young general who made a big splash to today's supreme leader, Chu Sinan has experienced many ups and downs during this period, Lukoongi has seen it with his own eyes. And here

In the process, he himself grew from the unknown little figure to the highest commander of the Kremlin Guard, and he was the youngest commander of the guard in history. His long-term relationship made Lukoonki clearly grasp Chu Sinan's character. In his opinion, this young leader was obviously the most unpretentious and approachable master of the Kremlin. To him, he was not just a guard or a guard captain, but more like a relative, a relative who could say anything.

Think about Comrade Gilnilova, who was secretly known as the "female devil" who was secretly called Chu Sinan's wife and the first secretary of the Security Committee, she really did not give anyone any face and did not swear to anyone. Even when facing Zhukov and Meletskov, she was indisputable. However, when dealing with him, the little man Lukoonki, she always said that it was effective and kind. Why is this? There is no doubt that it is because Chu Sinan trusted him as a guard and the captain of the guard.

With Chu Sinan's trust, Lukoongi felt proud, but also felt the heavy burden on his shoulders. At least, he would never allow Chu Sinan to have any accidents under his escort, otherwise even God would not be able to save him.

"No need, no need, no need," Chu Sinan smiled bitterly and waved his hand, rejecting the guard's tempting proposal. "It's better to follow me and let him come over now."

"Yes, I'll prepare right away." Lukoonki didn't say anything else. He nodded, then walked out of the office with a big stride.

Watching Lukoonki walk out of the office, Chu Sinan turns his desk and walks into the lounge inside. After washing up, he hears knocking on the door outside. There is no doubt that Comrade Suslov must have rushed over. The young man is really energetic, but he doesn't know what he has thought about the matter he has told. Chu Sinan thought so depressedly, and then pulled the wet towel on his collar and walked out.

"General!"

As soon as he walked into Chu Sinan's office, a sense of unconcealable excitement appeared on Suslov's handsome face. This young man, who was standing in the old age, entered this office for the first time. This was a room that symbolized the highest power of the Soviet state. Both Stalin and Tukhachevsky used to work here. Now, the owner of this office began to pay attention to him. What does that mean? Suslov felt that the days of rising to the top were close. Of course, the premise of all this is that he was able to properly handle the tasks assigned by Chu Sinan two days ago.

"Ah, Comrade Suslov," Chu Sinan could definitely be described as being disheveled at this time. His military uniform collar was wide open, and his handsome face was covered with water stains. A few strands of wet hair hung on his forehead. From time to time, two drops of water fell down and hit his straightened shoulders.

"Come on, sit, sit, do you want to drink something? Coffee or vodka?" Chu Sinan said while wiping the water stains on his face with a towel.

"Ah, no need, no need, no need," Suslov didn't mind Chu Sinan's disheveled look. On the contrary, he felt a sincere joy. There was no doubt that the general who had fought side by side did not feel alienated from him.

"Well, let's have a glass of vodka," Chu Sinan signaled the young Marxist philosophy researcher to sit on the sofa opposite his desk, then threw the towel on the desk, and said while walking to the wine cabinet, "Looking back, Comrade Suslov, we have known each other for a while. It seems, well, it seems that we have never had a good drink together." ,!
