Struggle in Soviet Russia

According to the female soldier, this information was provided by the Chinese government, and as far as the current situation is concerned, she refers to the information sent from Chongqing. These materials have obviously been translated in Moscow, and now they are presented to Victor in copies of the Russian version.

Behind the desk, Victor looked at the thick material, feeling really a headache.

These materials are not systematic, and it can even be said to be a little messy. Overall, they look like a lot of intelligence materials that are simply stacked in chronological order. The first material is still telling about Harbin, and the latter may be nothing. Transferred to Dongning. The previous material was still sending a suspect, and the next material was on another person.

After only reading four or five pages, Victor really couldn't stand it anymore. He pushed the material aside, reached out to take the internal phone on the table, shook the handle of the machine, and said to the operator voice coming from the microphone: "Let Comrade Besonov came to my office."

Besonov, major, head of intelligence work of the People's Committee of the Interior of Khabarovsk.

After a while, a tall and thin middle-aged man appeared at the door of Victor's office, holding a document in his hand, and knocking on the open door.

"Come in, Comrade Besonov," Victor said, looking up at the other person, "Now there is a new job that needs to be handled by you."

He reached out and held down the document on the table, and then said: "This is some intelligence information transferred from China. Please ask the comrades in the intelligence analysis room to sort it out and see if there is anything of value in it."

"Yes, Comrade Committee Member," Besonov walked to the desk. He first took the document on the table, then put the copy in his hand on the table and said, "In addition, Comrade Committee member, this It is the relevant information we have compiled about relatives who cross the border to visit relatives. Among them, there were 52 people who had transit records at the time of the leak."

"Is there anyone suspicious?" Victor took the file and didn't look at it directly, but asked instead.

"Yes," Besonov gave an affirmative reply, saying, "Comrades in the Intelligence Analysis Office and I, combined with the situation of these people, compared the past surveillance records of the Intelligence Bureau on Manchuria and Belarus, and indeed found three Objects worthy of focus."

"Oh?" Victor was a little disappointed. He was not interested in Belarus. But for a long time in the past, the intelligence agencies in the Far East focused almost all of their work on monitoring Belarus. Until the last two years, with This situation has changed only with the increasing threat of the Japanese.

Besonov reached out to open the document for Victor and turned to one of the pages, saying: "First of all, this is Litovchenko, a Ukrainian. According to the registration, he moved here from Odessa two years ago. Yes, originally he did not have permission to visit relatives across the border. The reason he declared was that his uncle had settled in Xinjing, and his uncle's only son died of illness three years ago."

After a pause, he continued: "Because his uncle is old and there is no one to take care of him, he was finally approved."

Victor looked at the page of materials in front of him. It was the basic situation of Litovchenko. According to the records, his uncle was originally working on the railway, and his uncle died of his wife five years ago. He married a wife nine years younger than him, a woman from a Belarusian family.

"Do you doubt his basis, just because he has a Belarusian aunt?" Victor asked with a frown.

"This is only one aspect, Comrade Committee member," Besonov said. "The reason why I doubt him is also because his current job is to repair telephone lines for the front army headquarters. Logically, there is a chance to get in touch with ordinary people. Intelligence information."

Victor's gaze condensed, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the other person, and asked: "When the front army command hires such personnel, has it not done a personnel review?"

Besonov pursed his lips and said nothing.

Besonov was not responsible for this kind of thing, and Victor didn't ask any more. He turned the document backwards, selected all the information about this Litovchenko, and put it aside for the time being.

"Go on," Victor said, picking up the cigarette in his hand and throwing it in front of Besonov.

"The second suspected target is called Batacha, he is a Jew," Besonov was also polite, lighting a cigarette to himself, and continued, "I moved here from Lithuania nine years ago, and he and the commander of the front The Ministry’s staff officer, Lieutenant Colonel Zavarov, has close contacts. He also obtained permission to cross the border to visit relatives two years ago. According to the information we have obtained, his brother and his family are now settled in Xinjing."

"What's the main doubt?" Victor flipped through the files, trying to find out the man's information.

"He has a very close relationship with a Japanese named Yamamoto Naoki," Besonov reached out and turned to Batacha's page for him, and said, "Our counterintelligence department had investigated him before. According to his own statement, the reason why he has close contacts with that Japan is because his brother’s family was able to escape from Lithuania to Shinkyo because of the help of Naoki Yamamoto, who was his benefactor."

Victor nodded. This reason makes sense, because two years ago, the Germans massacred Jews in Poland. At that time, many Jews flooded into the three Baltic countries. During that time, the Japanese ambassador to Lithuania issued a lot of issues. The visas helped those Jews escape to the Far East.

However, having a valid reason does not mean that there is no suspicion. Besonov is correct to classify this person as a key suspect.

"The third subject of suspicion is named Vishnevsky. It seems a bit far-fetched to designate him as the subject of suspicion," Besonov continued.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Victor asked curiously.

"Comrades mentioned in previous meetings that we need to strengthen the control of radio," Besonov said. "So, I have checked the radio detection conducted by the People’s Committee of the Interior in the past two years. The situation. According to records, in the past two years, we have conducted three large-scale radio detection operations in March and September in 41 years, and in April this year."

When Besonov said this, he stretched his hand over again and turned the document to the page where Vishnevsky was on behalf of Viktor. Then he continued: "According to the records of these three detections, it is shown that in Khabarov There are indeed unidentified radio stations operating in the downtown area of ​​Skok, the first time they detected signals near Lenin Street, the second and third times were near the Solzhonikidye Refinery. Detected signals. But these stations are very alert. They went into a silent state before we used triangulation to find them out. Therefore, we have never been able to catch this station."

"And then?" Victor asked.

"Then..." Besonov shrugged, obviously, there was no more.

Victor frowned, turned the subject away and said, "What does this have to do with the Vishnevsky you suspect?"

"I compared the transit situation of people who crossed the border to visit relatives during these three surprise inspections," Besonov said. He crossed the border frequently. In March last year, he crossed the border to visit relatives four times, all concentrated in one month. In September last year, he crossed the border to visit relatives three times, also concentrated in one month. In April this year, he crossed the border to visit relatives three times, still concentrated in one In the month. What’s more interesting is that, except for these cross-border records, he has not had any cross-border records in any other time period."

"Very good!" Victor smiled on his serious face. He could not hide his appreciation for the major comrade in front of him. "Comrade Besonov, your alertness and divergent thinking are admirable."

Yes, Besonov’s discovery of this law seems to be nothing to praise when he said it, but in reality, it is necessary to connect two seemingly unrelated things together and find the connection from them. But it is not an easy thing to do. And this kind of ability is precisely the quality that intelligence analysts should possess.

"Thank you, Comrade Committee member," Besonov couldn't help showing an expression of excitement on his face, but he said as calmly as possible, "I also had this idea after getting your reminder."

Victor waved his hand, pulled the topic back, and said, "Therefore, we can have reason to suspect that there is an enemy radio station in Khabarovsk for a long time, and this Vishnevsky is very likely to be Specially to deliver the'package' for this radio station. In normal times, he will not be dispatched, he will only take action when the radio is not working properly, is that right?"

"If this person really has a problem, then this is probably the case," Besonov nodded and said.

"It's very good," Victor stood up from his chair and said, "If we can follow this clue and uncover this lurking station, then we will probably find the lurking intelligence station by the way."

This idea is a bit too perfect, but the high probability of its existence cannot be denied.

Looking at the watch in his hand, to determine the time, Victor reached out and took the receiver of the internal telephone, shook the handle, and while waiting for the line to be connected, he said to Besonov: "Besonov Comrade, please sort out the relevant materials first, and then go to the conference room on the second floor to participate in the action meeting in ten minutes."

After he finished speaking, the phone was connected, and Victor said into the microphone: "Comrade Cherikov, summon the head of the action team, ten minutes later, there will be a meeting in the conference room on the second floor."
