"At that time, it was a damn war. I couldn't even be sure that I closed my eyes at night and whether I would still have a chance to open the next day," Suslov shrugged and said with reminiscence, "I'm filled with death, either the enemy or my own soldiers. To be honest, I have never felt as close as I was at that time, as I was at that time, death was so close to me."

Although he knew that the heroes did not mention the courage of the past, when he talked about the wars in the past, Chu Sinan still felt extremely excited, as if there were countless words to say, and they were still unhappy. People say that a real soldier had only wars and memories in his life. It seemed that this sentence was not wrong at all. Looking at a general who returned from the powerful and peaceful life at the beginning, and then slowly aged and declining in the long years, indulging in the smoke of artillery fire and blood boiling memories, many people would feel extremely sad and pity, but in fact, for the general himself, it was not a kind of happiness, a kind of happiness that they could only experience.

"Yes," put two exquisite wine glasses on the desk, then took the wine bottles and filled them one after another. Chu Sinan walked to his chair and sat down. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "The past is unbearable to look back. I remember when we first met, it was on the front line in the north. The Germans chased our ** and fought. The whole front collapsed completely. The regiment headquarters could not find the division headquarters, the division headquarters could not find the group army command, and the group army command could not find the front army command, and there was a mess everywhere. At that time, who would have thought that the war would end so soon. And it ended with our victory. Haha, the world was unpredictable, and this sentence was indeed not false."

Nodding slightly, Suslov reached out to take the vodka from the table in front of him, put it on his lips and took a sip, and then continued: "It's thanks to the general. To be honest, the general alone will never be able to save the defeat of the entire war. But it is precisely because of the appearance of the general, and because of the successful command of the general on the Northern Line that it brought hope of victory to our soldiers, and it makes them feel that the seemingly powerful Germans are not invincible. Therefore, we must say that all the contributions to winning this war are attributed to the general. This statement is wrong, but the general will definitely make an indelible contribution in this victory. We can even say that if there were no generals, our great Soviet regime would never be today."

What does it feel like to be praised in person? Piaopiaoran, what does Chu Sinan feel at this time? There is no doubt that it is Piaopiaoran. Look at Suslov, why can he become an evergreen tree in the political arena, and why can he become the godfather of gray? It is not because he is extremely specialized in his research on Marxism-Leninism. It is not because he likes to quote scriptures when he delivers speeches, nor because he does not advocate privilege and live a frugal life, but because he can speak. It is so wonderful that you can flatter you, but you also feel that this flattery is not aimless, not a castle in the air, but because it is true.

Is this right to attribute all the credit for winning the war to Chu Sinan? It is obviously wrong. If he said this to Stalin, he might accept it happily. If he said it to Khrushchev and Brezhnev, they might be complacent, but if he said it to Chu Sinan, he would never accept it. He would even get bored of the person who said it. So Suslov didn't say that. He first criticized this statement, and then turned to emphasize that Chu Sinan was in this war

The role of reversing the overall situation is a fact and it is also the most proud thing about Chu Sinan. Flattering is also a science. If you want to grasp this craft well, you must first have Bole's eye for horses, first see clearly what kind of temperament this horse is, whether it likes being slapped by others on the left buttock or the right buttock. There is no doubt that Comrade Suslov has mastered the essence of it, and this is the hopeful comrade, a bright future, a comrade with progressive thoughts, and a comrade who has separated from the low-level interests...

Russians are good at drinking, and most people have good alcohol tolerance. Although Suslov looks like a weak scholar, his alcohol tolerance is also really good. After Lukoonki brought breakfast, he accompanied Chu Sinan, chatting and drinking, and never mentioned his main purpose of coming here today.

"This young man is very good," when a breakfast was filled in, Chu Sinan came to the final conclusion, "not only was he knowledgeable, he had in-depth research on Marxism-Leninism, but he was also funny and had a unique vision. Most importantly, although he was still young, he was calm and sleek, and he was a person who could take on important tasks."

When I heard someone who could speak, I felt comfortable in my heart. After eating this breakfast, listening to Suslov's humorous and witty words, and listening to his compliments without leaving any trace, Chu Sinan felt that he was comfortable all over, and the fatigue caused by not sleeping all night seemed to disappear without a trace.

"Comrade Suslov," put down the knife and fork in his hand, Chu Sinan wiped his greasy lips with a napkin and said with a smile, "I remember you were from an economics, right?"

"Yes, general," Suslov was delighted. He knew that the war was about to pass, and being a soldier in peacetime would never be able to improve in the short term. Fortunately, he was not a pure soldier, but became a monk and entered the army halfway as an intellectual. Now, when Chu Sinan mentioned this issue, there was no doubt that it meant that he had the opportunity to do his job. Now the country is in trouble after the war, and his desire for economic construction talents is quite high. If he could transfer from the army and enter the government department at this time, he would probably have done something.

"I am ashamed to say that my subordinates were poor and had not received any systematic education since childhood," Suslov swallowed and said carefully. "My so-called knowledge of economic construction was obtained later in practice. To be honest, I never thought that one day I would enter the army. From the day I entered the work of the Poor Peasants Committee at the age of sixteen, my greatest and only wish was how to strengthen my revolutionary knowledge theory, how to arm myself with revolutionary theory, and fight against all Soviet enemies."

"Well, I heard that you have studied at the Plekhanov National Economics Institute?" Chu Sinan said with a smile.

"Ah, yes, it can be said that my systematic theories on economics were established in that period of study." Suslov became more careful and could see that the leader in front of him had already learned about his archives in advance. "Later, when he was studying at the Red Professor's School of Economics, these theories were further enriched."

What is self-recommendation? This is self-recommendation.

"Well. Very good. I heard that Khrushchev and Nadezhda were both students of yours at the time?" Chu Sinan said carelessly.

"Yes," Suslov said honestly, despite his trepidation, "Khrushchev is a good student. The impression he gave me at the beginning was that he was radical in his mind, very smart and determined. It was just that he was too addicted to power, so he lost himself and his revolutionary nature. As for Nadzeda, she was just a victim, a victim of a dictator."

It goes without saying who Khrushchev is. He has been knocked down, and Nadzeda, she is the wife of Stalin. She is a talented woman from the Kremlin, but she married the wrong person and ended up committing suicide. Both of them have special identities. Now Suslov dares to be honest with him that they are his students and also has some sympathy for them. Fundamentally, this is already quite valuable.

"Okay, these people don't have to pay attention to them," Chu Sinan was obviously very satisfied with Suslov's frankness. He owed him from his seat, poured a glass of wine for the other party himself, and then said, "But I have a brand new understanding of you today. I really didn't expect that our Comrade Suslov is actually a versatile talent who is both civil and military. Well, what kind of work are you responsible for now? I remember you should be in charge of the party and government work in Starovpool, right?"

"Yes, general," Suslov said in his heart, the main point is coming, "The transfer order issued by the Supreme Soviet Presidium two weeks ago made me responsible for the local work there, mainly the affairs of the garrison."

"Oh," Chu Sinan raised the wine glass in front of him, made a call to the other party, then sipped the mellow vodka in the glass, and then said with a smile, "Comrade Suslov, which one do you think is more suitable for your talents compared to the central work?"

Then there is no need to say that if you can enter the central work and come into contact with the highest level of state power, who would want to go to remote places? However, Suslov could not directly say that the central work is more suitable for his talents. Recommendation does not mean that he is ignorant of the world. Otherwise, he will leave a feeling of being impatient and ambitious.

After a brief thought, Suslov pursed his lips and said, "It depends on the needs of the organization. I personally don't have any ideas. It mainly depends on the needs of the organization. Whether it is the central government or the local government, wherever I need me, Suslov."

"Okay, okay, don't come with me these vain and floating things," Chu Sinan waved his hand and smiled and scolded, "We are old friends, you don't need to hide in front of me. There is an old saying in Chinese that is, 'It is normal for people to go to high places and water flows to low places, and hope to be valued and hope to be able to maximize their talents."

Standing up from the seat, Chu Sinan walked around the desk, walked around the gorgeous carpet in the hall twice, and then continued, "Do you remember the thing I mentioned to you the day before yesterday? Now that the conflict between the Budget Committee and the Ministry of Defense is getting worse, they are quarreling about the issue of disarmament and budget cuts. You know, I am nostalgic, Comrade Zhukov is my old friend, and I can't help but sell some face to those generals, including him.

But then again, the questions raised by the comrades of the Budget Committee cannot be ignored. Now that the war is about to end, the country is in chaos in all aspects. Whether it is agriculture, industry, or other messy places, a large amount of funds need to be allocated to rebuild. Therefore, it is also an inevitable trend to lay off part of the army to reduce military expenditures. Alas, this contradiction has made me very distressed. Just for it, I have not eaten well and sleep well these two days."

When Chu Sinan said this, she sighed deeply, and at the same time rubbed her sun** hard, showing a very distressed look.

Speaking of this, Suslov did not understand anything else. Indeed, Chu Sinan mentioned this issue to him the day before yesterday. Although the leader did not say so specifically at the beginning, Suslov, who was careful and cautious, thought about this issue carefully later.

In his opinion, this is a problem of offending people. After all, the national and local fiscal budgets are so many now. Under limited funding conditions, do you need to pay attention to the allocation of budgets to the military and pay attention to the allocation of budgets to other construction departments. The two are opposite and cannot be reconciled. To put it bluntly, no matter who is in charge of this matter, you must offend one side and please the other side.

Fundamentally speaking, Suslov felt that at this time, it was necessary to lay off a part of his military strength. After all, millions of troops were there, and every soldier had to eat every day. He consumed military funds, and at the same time, a large amount of labor was idle. In the current view, once this world war that lasted for several years ended, the possibility of another war broke out in a short period of time was almost impossible. In this case, laying off the troops and reducing military expenditures was a one-shot decision.

But then again, it is so easy to lay off the army? That is simply impossible. The benefits involved in all aspects are too great. It must be known that disarmament is not just about laying off those soldiers that cannot be used for the time being, but also a large number of officers must be laid off during this period. These officers were promoted from the war by higher-level generals. The army is undoubtedly the most serious phenomenon of gang formation. There is a saying that goes, "The son of a soldier must first look at the soldiers." To give the simplest example, if the disarmament is laid off on Baditsky's head, can Chu Sinan agree?

What is the difficulty of a reform? It lies here. The so-called "one moves the whole body". In the mixed network of forces, two people who seem to have nothing to do on the surface have absolute interests behind them. No matter who it is, once they touch the bottom line of this interest network, they will be destroyed by impacts from all directions.

Chu Sinan is the leader of the Soviet Union today and the number one decision-maker of the Kremlin's policies and policies, but even he cannot easily come forward to touch this network of interests. Therefore, he needs a person who stands out for himself, a killer who pawns the way for him, and attracts everyone's attention for him. From now on, this person is undoubtedly Suslov.

Suslov is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart. He knows what kind of errands this and how many risks it contains. There is no doubt that if Chu Sinan really handed this errand into his hands, then his future political life will have two extreme choices. One is to sink to the end and never turn around, and the other is to have a bright future and uncontrollable one.

This is a danger and an opportunity. After some thought, Suslov finally made a decision to meet this challenge and seize this opportunity.

During these two days, after careful and meticulous thinking, he had roughly some ideas to resolve this contradiction. Although this idea is not very mature, Suslov already has a certain confidence that he can resolve the contradiction between the military and the Budget Committee to the greatest extent.

"What does the general need me to do?" Suslov asked so carefully after confirming his previous guess.

"Ha," Chu Sinan smiled loudly. He walked behind Suslov, reached out to pat the young man's shoulder, and said, "My Comrade Suslov, do you have any ideas? Don't tell me that you have not thought about this problem at all in the past two days. In that case, I will be very disappointed."

Knowing that it was time to express his thoughts, Suslov turned his body and smiled and said, "General, just the issue you mentioned, my subordinates have indeed considered it carefully. In my opinion, laying off military strength is imperative, but how to cut it to minimize the rebound of the military is the issue we must consider now."

"Oh?" Chu Sinan's face showed an interest. He quickly walked to his seat and sat down, then said, "Tell me what you think."

Suslov was not in a hurry to say something. He straightened his waist and took out a neatly folded material from his military uniform pocket, and pushed it in front of Chu Sinan. Then he said: "General, these are some ideas I have considered in the past two days. Of course, it is not enough to improve it, but I think I can give the general some tips."

"Oh?" Chu Sinan made a surprised expression, and at the same time, he seemed a little impatient to reach out and grabbed the material in his hand. After unfolding it, he stopped paying attention to Suslov and looked carefully.
