Struggle in Soviet Russia

"What I need is not that you find shortcomings for this plan, but that you need to give me a more secure and reasonable plan," Comrade Serov was indeed in a bad mood. After Victor finished speaking, he said unceremoniously. .

"This..." Victor didn't mind either. He turned to look at Eitingo and said, "I want to hear Leonid's thoughts more."

Eitingo spread his hands innocently. He had just returned to Moscow and didn't know anything yet.

"I suggested before that Comrade Leonid should be in charge of the work of the special department." Victor didn't feel embarrassed. He smiled at Eitingo, then turned his head and looked at Comrade Serov and said, "I think No one of us has more say in organizing the work of sedition."

"Let professional people handle professional matters. This should be a basic working principle of our National Security People's Committee," Victor said, applying a sentence from his previous life directly.

"Let professional people handle professional matters, haha, this sentence is very insightful," Feijing clapped his hands and laughed. "I believe that if this can really become the working principle of our various departments, then all work will be Will become more efficient."

Comrade Serov pursed his mouth. Although the expression on his face is still serious, his eyes are much softer.

"Let professional people handle professional matters." Since Victor can say such a sentence at this time, it means that he must have considered this issue in his heart. As he said, this should be the National Security People’s Committee. A working principle of the Ministry, then, shows that this young man must have thought about how to make the Department of the People’s Committee of National Security more efficient and progressive in its work.

As a leader of the NKVD for many years, Comrade Serov knows why the NKVD was so inefficient. One of the main reasons is that the appointment of cadres has given too much consideration to politics. Sexual factors.

When Ye Ruofu was in charge of the People's Committee of the Interior, even though that guy was also nepotism and promoted a large number of people close to him, in the final analysis, he also promoted many highly specialized intelligence personnel.

But after Beria came to power, in order to purge the People’s Committee of the Interior, the large-scale cleaning involving the entire committee removed a large number of experienced agents. Many middle-level and grass-roots leaders are rushing. A layman who is promoted and does not have any work experience.

Just like the stupid brother of Kobrov, he is not only a completely layman, but also has a worrisome IQ. The Berlin intelligence station that worked fruitfully in Yezhov's time was ruined by him, and he was the laughing stock of the international intelligence community.

Today, the National Security People’s Committee was founded, and Victor’s ability to put forward such a working principle is very insightful in itself.

"We can talk about work principles later." Although he admired Victor in his heart, Comrade Serov would not give him a good look at this time. Therefore, he turned the subject away and said, "Now The key issue is how to arrange an action plan to eradicate Vlasov."

He paused. He bent over and took a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, took a cigarette, and then threw the cigarette in front of Victor. Then he continued: "Comrade Stalin is very concerned about this work. I will see you early this morning. He, he mentioned it again and asked us to come up with a practical plan as soon as possible."

Victor didn't speak, he picked up the pack of cigarettes from the table, took out one, and handed it to Eitingo.

"Where is Vlasov now?" Aitingo took the cigarette, took a lighter and lit it, took a deep breath, and said.

"Lienz," Victor said, "The information we got was that he was sent to Lienz because some important members of the German Wehrmacht did not like his unauthorized release of the open letter, so he was kicked out of Berlin. Sent back to Lienz’s POW camp."

"Lienz?" Eitingo thought for a while and said, "The Lienz on the Dwa River in Austria?"

"Yes," Victor nodded.

"Are there any details about that prisoner of war camp?" Eitingo asked.

"Yes," Victor said, "I can send someone over immediately if you need it."

"We must first understand the situation there, and then make a plan," Eitingo did not answer directly, but used a more obscure statement.

The reason for doing this is because he knows the rules of the intelligence agency very well. He does not have a formal position yet. Therefore, he still doesn't know whether the intelligence information can be opened to him.

Victor understood what he meant, so he turned to see Comrade Serov.

"I have already proposed to Comrade Stalin that Leonid will formally take over the work of the special department," Comrade Serov said, smoking a cigarette. "Comrade Stalin believes that this appointment can be made as long as the members of the committee have no objection. Announced implementation."

"I have no opinion," Fitin said immediately. "Moreover, I think Leonid is the safest one to fill this position."

Comrade Stalin said that as long as several members of the National Security People’s Committee have no opinion, the appointment can be announced and implemented. Now, all three members are there and all agree. Therefore, in fact, Eitingo’s position is Can be determined.

Regardless of the fact that the Special Department is only a department under the People’s Committee of National Security, due to the special nature of this department, its leaders must also have the status of deputy people’s committee.

The Special Operations Department was established very early in the internal affairs system of the Soviet Union. Its original name was vulgar and intuitive, and it was called "Special Operations Agency for Murders Abroad". From this name, we know that its main business is what.

Later, with the end of the civil war, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Western countries eased slightly. This department continued to use the original name, which was obviously not suitable. Therefore, its function part was removed from the name and changed to "Special Operations Bureau". .

In today’s National Security People’s Committee, its name is "Special Operations Department", but its specific functions have not changed. Things like chasing and killing defectors and key enemy officials are all handled by this department. .

Don't think that the National Security People's Committee has such a department, it seems so dark. In fact, any country's intelligence agency will have such a department to perform the same responsibilities.

The most famous among them is the Mossad of Israel. They hunted down Nazi lurking elements after World War II.

The addition of Aitingo is tantamount to adding another deputy people’s committee to the National Security People’s Committee. Of course, he is currently the lowest-ranked deputy people’s committee.

Now that Aitingo's identity is confirmed, the next task is much simpler.

Victor called, and soon, the staff sent information about Vlasov’s current situation, including a plan of the Lienz prison camp.

When he handed the relevant information to Eitingo, Victor was also relieved. This **** job can finally be handed over to others. To be honest, he has no interest in this kind of chasing traitors. No.

After confirming the work of eradicating Vlasov, Eitingo will be responsible. Afterwards, Comrade Serov brought back an order issued by the Supreme Commander just last night.

There is no serial number for this order, and the full name is an order "on improving the intelligence work of the guerrillas." The order was put forward by Pavel Anatolyevich Sudopratov, who is in charge of leading the work of the guerrillas, and approved by the People’s Committee of National Defense. Its main content is to organize a group of people with experience in intelligence work. The soldiers and intelligence personnel of the United States went to the guerrillas behind enemy lines to be responsible for the intelligence collection of the guerrillas.

Obviously, this work needs to be taken by Feijing. After all, he is in charge of personnel work, and at the same time, he also manages the training school under the National Security People’s Committee.

However, Victor couldn't relax. Comrade Serov's return from the Caucasus this time was not temporary, but his work there was over. In the future, he will come back specifically to preside over the overall work of the People's Committee of National Security.

This energetic and thoughtful people's commissar arranged for Victor a very important job, which was to ask him to select enough talents from various secret service training schools to form 10 to 15 special radio communication camps.

According to Comrade Serov's idea, these "special radio communication camps" are not responsible for communications, but are specifically responsible for radio interference and radio interception. As for radio interception, the interception targets of these communication camps are not those high-tech codes, but some basic codes. In the words of Comrade Serov, these communication battalions are mainly dedicated to discovering and analyzing the content of radio communications, and deciphering ordinary manual codes, rather than targeting high-density codes like "riddles".

In terms of equipment, each battalion of these special radio communication battalions will be equipped with 18 to 20 radio receivers and 4 direction finders, and their range of activities is behind the front line of the battlefield. On the one hand, they intercept the content of German radio communications. Interfere with the other party’s radio communications.

There is no doubt that this is a task with a large amount of engineering. Victor feels a bit of a headache. However, compared to him, it is Feijing who has a more headache, because he needs to solve the problem of radio receiver and direction finder. .

"Victor, I don't bother to take care of your corrupt private life issues," Serov said to Victor irritably when a few people left the office after discussing the business. "But you better control your behavior and be careful of those who come. A woman with an unclear path will cause you unnecessary trouble."
