Struggle in Soviet Russia

Serov has always paid close attention to Victor. In his eyes, this young man who is much younger than himself is very outstanding, not only capable but also very diligent. Moreover, he seems to have a sense of the work of the NKVD. This kind of talent is hard for ordinary people.

Of course, no one is perfect, and there are also some shortcomings in his body. The most obvious one is that he can't control his lower body. This shortcoming is sometimes terrible, and some things are irrelevant. In Serov’s view, this young man This shortcoming in humans does not seem to be a bad thing for myself.

People with noble character and no shortcomings are worthy of respect, but they are not worthy of trust. This is a point of view that any superior person will hold.

Moreover, in the NKVD, there are many lustful people like Victor, like Comrade Abakumov, who also received attention for his outstanding ability, as long as others are in Moscow, and Moscow happens to have a ball, 8% There is a possibility that he will participate. Moreover, this guy is not only lustful, but also a bit corrupt. The collection of famous watches, handmade suits, and Italian leather shoes in his family is really a lot. With his salary, he can't support such a luxurious life.

And Feijing, the guy who looked unsmiling and terribly serious, had a lot more serious private life issues than Victor. Although Victor likes to sleep with women, the few women he has slept with are willing, and Comrade Feijing is different. What he likes to do is to sleep female students in those special service training schools.

There is also Merkulov, um, and even Comrade Beria. Serov’s secret job in the People’s Committee of the Interior is a senior member of the Supervisory Committee. Therefore, most people can’t hide things from him. . If anyone's performance is a little better, it is Kruglov, but that guy's situation is a bit special.

Therefore, the so-called life style problem is not a problem in itself. The key lies in how to judge. When there is a need, a problem that is not a problem will also become a problem, and when there is another need, it is a problem. It's not a problem.

I rushed to Comrade Beria’s office and reported to the "nominal" leader about the situation in the Caucasus direction, and agreed to go to the Kremlin tomorrow morning to meet with Comrade Stalin. Serov left Lubyanka 2. Next, he will go to meet the informant who is arranged next to Victor, to find out what the guy is doing lately. Later, he still needs to meet with Comrade Khrushchev who has just returned to Moscow two days ago. In short, he has a lot of arrangements tonight and will be more busy.

When receiving a notice from the NKVD asking him to return to Moscow to attend a meeting, Victor had just completed the inspection of the garrison in the Nivi region. In general, the inspection work this time was relatively smooth. , Mainly because the frontline warfare was relatively calm, and not many negligent defenders were found.

On the day of returning to Moscow, the weather was very good. The rainy weather that had lasted for a long time finally ended, and the shy sun finally came out.

Victor likes April in Moscow, because this month seems to be the best time for him, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and as the earth recovers, the whole world is green and no longer so lifeless.

Another point, and the most important point, is that even if it enters the rainy season in the Moscow region in April, due to the impact of road conditions, neither the Soviets nor the Germans will choose to engage in large-scale warfare at this time, at least not. Battle-level battles will break out.

God doesn’t care if you are fascist or communist. After a rain falls, no one can avoid being affected. Therefore, the armistice has become a tacit understanding between the two warring parties. Everyone took advantage of the next one and a half months to redeploy and replenish their equipment. Wait until the rainy season is over at the end of May, then stretch your arms and smash.

When Victor returned to Moscow, he had not yet completed his work. He needed to run three more departments: first go to the General Political Department to hand over the work, mainly to report the basic information of the inspection, and hand over the negligent guys to the General Political Department to do. Further processing; then go to the General Staff Headquarters to report, indicating that his inspection work has ended, and he will return to his post tomorrow; the last one is to go to the NKVD to report his itinerary, indicating that he has completed the task and returned to Moscow .

It was not until Victor completed the reporting work of the first two departments and rushed to the NKVD that he knew that Serov had returned to Moscow from the Caucasus.

In the brightly lit office, Victor sat quietly on the sofa in a more relaxed posture. On the sofa opposite him, Serov, dressed in casual clothes, was unpacking a pack of cigarettes.

Perhaps it was because the person in front of the NKVD was run by the person in front of him when he first entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The next few promotions were also recommended by the other party. In addition, the time spent with him was relatively long. Therefore, Victor was in front of Serov. Not at all restrained, this is a lot worse than the state in front of Beria.

Serov took apart the cigarette in his hand and handed it to Victor. He also lit one. Then he continued the topic and said: "For the Caucasus Front, all the rebellious areas are behind them. Therefore, once there is The riot has really happened, and it will pose the most direct threat to the logistics supply line of the front army."

Before, the two talked about the rebellion in the Caucasus. According to Serov, the situation there is really critical. Various intelligence has confirmed that all potential rebellions in the Caucasus are related to the German offensive. In other words, there was a connection between the rebels and the Germans.

For this, Victor completely believed, but what he didn't believe was that the rebels could really cooperate closely with the Germans.

At the beginning of the war, the various ethnic minorities in West Ukraine also regarded the Germans as their liberators, cooperating with the Germans, providing them with intelligence, materials, and even a lot of people directly participating in the German combat. But shortly afterwards, especially after the Battle of Kiev, the Germans tore off their warm and affectionate disguise, revealing their true colors.

In the "Valley of Women" on the outskirts of Kiev, more than 100,000 Jews, Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians were collectively executed, and the entire valley was filled with dead bodies. Not to mention the subsequent Eastern Project, in which countless Ukrainians were escorted to Germany as free labor. Nowadays, even Stepan Bandera, the most thorough anti-Soviet and anti-Soviet element, shows signs of antagonizing the Germans. The Ukrainian nationalist guerrillas active in the jungles and swamps of West Ukraine are not only attacking the Soviet Union. The guerrillas, at the same time, also attacked the Germans, and they are no longer friends with either side.

In the Caucasus, all kinds of riot organizations cannot fail to learn from the fate of the Ukrainians, and their trust in the Germans is bound to be limited.

"Although the difficulty of logistical support is a problem," Victor said, lighting the cigarette and inhaling, "but it is better than when the war is approaching, it is better to deploy a large number of troops to suppress the bandits. My opinion is that we might as well. Making peace talks with the rebels can even give them some specious promises, and the purpose of all this is to delay time. The longer the delay, the better for us. Once the Germans are against the Caucasus The attack was repelled, and the rebels might have collapsed without seeing any hope."

His tone sank, and he continued: "Even if their rebellion expanded during the delay, as long as we can free our hands, I believe that there will be no problem in destroying them."

Regarding the issue of ethnic minority rebellions in the Caucasus, Serov’s opinion is to immediately annihilate them. He advocated that one to one and a half army groups should be transferred from the Caucasus Front Army to cooperate with the border guards in the Caucasus. The rebellion was wiped out.

Victor differed from him. According to Victor, the frontier defense system led by the People’s Committee of the Interior was unreliable on the issue of suppressing the insurgency in the Caucasus. The army is sympathetic. This has been demonstrated in previous rebel operations. So far, there are not a few local border guards and policemen who have taken refuge in the rebels.

Victor believes that the terrain of the Caucasus is complex, with high mountains and deep jungles everywhere. The local rebels are familiar with the terrain and can get the support of the locals. Therefore, it is not the same to eliminate the rebellion in two months. It's easy. Therefore, the best response should be to repel the German offensive first, and then free up to deal with the rebellion.

In order to strengthen the persuasiveness, he even proposed that the ethnic migration policy can be implemented in the Caucasus region, and the ethnic minorities involved in the rebellion should be moved away. With the loss of the mass base, those rebellions cannot be sustained.

Of course, what Victor didn’t know was that the suggestions he made were actually Serov’s ideas, because in the world of Victor’s previous life, Serov himself presided over the work of eliminating the rebellion in the Caucasus. He also personally led the implementation of the ethnic minority migration policy in the region.

Today, Victor is still a little younger after all, and he knew too little about the history of the Soviet Union in his previous life. Therefore, he didn't know how ethnic migration was going on, and he didn't know how much the people who proposed and implemented this policy would bear. Big infamy.

Of course, maybe even if he knew everything, he wouldn't care at all.
