Chapter 8: The agent who forced Liangshan
"I don't know if I should congratulate you, but Comrade Gilnilova is indeed a very good girl." Kruchkov said enviously as he watched Gilnilova gradually disappear on the other side of the long corridor.
Chu Sinan nodded in agreement, then patted the young man who had just been promoted to the director of the Third Bureau of the Secret Police on the shoulder and said, "If I deserve congratulations, then I think you are worth congratulations even more. Do you think you are, Comrade Director? Before he was thirty years old, he was promoted to the position of director. Comrade Kryuchkov, you have a bright future."
"Don't make fun of me, Comrade Chu Sinan, do you still know how I got the identity of the director?" Kluchkov smiled self-deprecatingly, then looked around with vigilance, then stretched Chu Sinan's sleeves and whispered, "Let's go, go to your room and say."
"Grenev has been secretly executed," Klyuchkov said in a plain tone in Chusinan's room, "the charge was to act as a spy of German fascism, with the intention to undermine the stability of the Soviet regime."
"Oh?" Chu Sinan's body was shocked. He didn't expect that Belia would be so cruel.
"Before being executed, Grenev confessed to his crimes," Kryuchkov took out a cigarette in his pocket, lit it for himself, and then said in a trembling voice. "The interrogation of him was presided over by me in person. Although he had corporal punishment, this guy was very hard-mouthed and refused to admit any of the charges he had added to him. Later... Later...Beria came by himself, three hours, just three hours later, Grenev admitted everything. Oh, God, I can guarantee that when I saw him again, there was no complete piece of skin and bone on this poor man's body..."
Chu Sinan was silent. He knew why Klyuchkov was so abnormal now. Grenev's miserable end left a deep impression on him. He was worried that he would be the same in the future.
"Comrade Chu Sinan, maybe you don't know that Grenev was the person that Beria once trusted the most. They were already together as early as the Civil War, but look at it now..." Kluchkov sucked the cigarette roll in his hand until it was hot. He snatched out the cigarette butts, and then lit another one for himself, "I'm really scared now. My fate in the future may be even more miserable than Grenev. Beria is not a human being, he is a wolf who is full of teeth and claws and is always fond of choosing people. I believe that any threat... Oh, no, anyone who may threaten his rights will be eliminated by him without hesitation."
"Are you afraid?" Chu Sinan looked at Klyuchkov with his head hanging down and smoking. After a while of silence, he sneered, "Do you want to quit? Then he was determined to work hard for Belia?"
Krichkov said nothing, he really thought so.
"If that's the case, I will never stop you." Chu Sinan continued, "But I still have to say that it's probably too late for you to regret it now. Your status and power are already very great. As the director of the third game, although he is still a subordinate of Beria, you have already posed a threat to him. I still said that the reason why Beria wanted to take down Grenev was not just because of my sow discord. In fact, even if I didn't appear, Beria would take action sooner or later. The power arena is like a arena. Once you enter this ***, then the only choice is to fight to the death and knock down all those who can threaten you. Otherwise, the one who falls in the end will always be yourself. Beria is not born with ruthlessness. The reason why he did this is because he is well aware of the truth and is dependent on it.
A strong man, attacking his opponent, and using cruel means to suppress subordinates who may pose a threat to him, is his usual method. He uses any means to eliminate enemies on his way forward to the greatest extent. This is the only code on the power field. It may be cruel or crisis-ridden. You may not like it, but unfortunately, you have entered the game and you no longer have the power to withdraw. Of course, you can keep silent and calm down on the matter, but I am sure that even if you do nothing, Beria will not let you go in the end. Now there are only two ways in front of you. One is to wait for death in silence, and the other is to sacrifice your life to gamble. Choose the former, you have only one way to die, and choose the latter, and you may still have a glimmer of life. How to decide depends entirely on yourself."
Kryuckov smoked even more fiercely. He was very scared now, and he was dying. At the beginning, he just wanted to make a fuss with Grenev. In his thoughts and consciousness, only Grenev was his enemy. But now Grenev fell down, falling so quickly and suddenly, and his ending was so miserable. While Kryuckov took over his power, he also vaguely saw the ending he might face from this poor boss. To be honest, since the day Grenev was executed, he had almost never slept peacefully for a day, and was anxious all day long. He felt that every look at him was full of hideousness and coldness.
The cigarette rolls were burned out one by one, but Klyuckov's hand holding the cigarette roll never stopped trembling.
"Comrade Chu Sinan, do you... do you think we may defeat Beria?" Klyuchkov, who was silent, finally said something.
"Yes," Chu Sinan nodded and said in a relaxed tone. He knew that Klyuchkov had no choice at this time, "but the possibility of this depends on your performance."
"I don't want to hear these now!" Kluchkov was obviously a little abnormal. He waved his right hand, pinching cigarette, and said hoarsely, "I just want to hear your plans! I'm going to put my life on now. You must give me a hope, even if this hope is slim, I will admit it!"
Chu Sinan laughed wildly in his heart. He knew that Klyuchkov was not acting at this time. He really decided to fight to the death. In the face of a life-and-death turning point, no one could remain calm. What is called calmness in death is just a bit of self-seducation when there is no choice. However, Chu Sinan also has some concerns now. It is obvious that the fashionable and young Klyuchkov is definitely not experienced enough. Is it a bit rash to put his focus on him? But then again, he seems to have no choice now.
