Struggle in Soviet Russia

"Yes," Beria said with a smile. "At present, the special nature of the work of the National Security People's Committee lies in the Foreign Intelligence Agency. As long as there are no problems with the work of this department, nothing else is so important. You can do it with confidence. Under the premise of ensuring the absolute stability of the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, you don’t have to worry about making any mistakes in other areas. Hehe, our principle is not to allow your comrades to make mistakes. Gaining experience is a kind of progress."

Okay, what you guys are saying is very good, Victor poked in his heart.

He really can't understand the real thoughts of the two in front of him. Isn't everyone doing the tricks now?

"What you said is," No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least verbally, Victor still has to agree with these two words before him. He thought for a while and said, "Actually, in the follow-up work, I will also do a good job. All kinds of psychological preparations have been made. However, I am still not sure about the construction of the presidium of the committee department."

There was a pause in his tone, his gaze quickly glanced over the faces of the two opposing people, and then he continued: "Just yesterday morning, I promised Comrade Stalin that I will put the presidium of the committee department as soon as possible. It was formed to resolutely implement the principle of collective leadership in the People’s Committee of National Security. But to be honest, because I have not presided over the overall work in the past, I have no experience in inspecting leading cadres. Therefore, for the members of the presidium There is no clue as to determining the problem."

"Comrade committee, you have been presiding over the work of the NKVD for a long time. The work experience in the past ten years is also closely related to national security affairs." Victor focused his eyes on Beria and said frankly, "So , I hope to get some guiding opinions from you to confirm the list of members of this bureau."

"Well," Beria said with a thoughtful expression, and said in a cautious tone, "The issue of cadre promotion is indeed very important. This work can be said to be related to the success or failure of our specific work. Therefore, caution is necessary. of."

Speaking of this, he folded his hands on the lower abdomen of his chest and groaned for a while before he said, "But, Victor, there is something wrong with you. Although I have been leading the work of the NKVD in the past, But for now, the nature of the work of the NKVD is very different from the nature of the work of the NKVD. Therefore, on the issue of the candidates for the presidium, I am afraid it is difficult to provide you with some meaningful information. Suggest."

After a slight pause, he went on to say: "Furthermore, I do not recommend that you transfer relevant personnel from the NKVD to take charge of the main tasks of the NKVD. You must understand that the various positions of the NKVD The person in charge often has complicated social relations, which is also determined by the nature of the work of the NKVD. In contrast, the specific work of the NKVD is relatively closed. The nature of its work determines the nature of the work. The background of people in leadership positions in the department should never be too complicated, but the simpler the better."

Having said that, he turned to look at Malinkov and said: "If you want me to advise you, then my suggestion is that members of the Bureau should be drawn from departments like the Supervisory Committee and the General Political Department as much as possible. And, try to choose the kind of people who have enough work experience and are marginalized. Only such people are the most suitable for you, and also the most suitable for the National Security People’s Committee."

Victor frowned, a little suspicious in his heart.

What he meant now could not be clearer. He just took out the presidium of the People’s Committee of National Security and let Beria or the Malinkovs in. He may not really want to do this, but since it’s political The peace, then a price like this must be paid.

According to Victor’s original vision, Beria should have at least two or three people coming in, and these people are likely to come from the NKVD. To be honest, even Beria’s General Merkulov When it came over, Victor would not be surprised, of course, there would be no resistance.

But the reality now is that Beria obviously has no such thoughts. He even clearly expressed his attitude: People from the NKVD are not suitable to come here because their backgrounds are very complicated.

Later, Beria gave a further opinion, that is, if he needs people, he can draw from the Supervisory Committee or the General Political Department, and also try to select the kind of marginalized people.

To be honest, such a proposal is in fact the most in line with Victor’s vision, because both the Supervisory Committee and the General Political Department have been responsible for certain anti-espionage and anti-sabotage work in the past. The nature of their work is in line with the National Security People’s Committee. The nature of some of the work is very close.

As for why we choose the kind of marginalized person, this is for Victor’s consideration, because only promoting and reusing such a person is the most conducive to the development of Victor’s follow-up work, because such a person is undoubtedly the most vulnerable to him. Closed to the side. If Victor can really do this, and select some of these people and fill them in the presidium of the People’s Committee for National Security, then it will be difficult for Fijing or Eitingo to inflict any kind of damage on him. threat.

But the question is... Is it true that Comrade Beria made such an opinion purely for his consideration of Victor? Is he really so selfless?

Victor really didn't dare to think like that. He wasn't Beria or Malinkov's illegitimate son. Why should people consider him for him? Is it possible that these two Kong Rongs reincarnated? But even if it was Kong Rong's reincarnation, now it is not pears, but the power that everyone loves.

With his mouth open, Victor wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Malinkov.

"Yes, in my opinion, the General Political Department is better, while the Supervisory Committee, um, has been marginalized more seriously in the past two years. They have almost no dominant power on the issue of discipline inspection within the party." Malenkov said, "However, there are still many experienced comrades in the supervisory committee."

Speaking of this, he moved to Victor's side and said, "If you need it, you can go to the cadre office in the last two days. From the cadre list, you can always find a few suitable candidates."

"I have the same opinion," Beria nodded and said, "but I have to add that when choosing a person, you must fully understand the past and character of the other person. Those who are impatient and eager to achieve success should try their best Avoid it. Some of the mistakes we experienced in the 1930s were largely caused by such people, Victor, you should try to avoid making the same mistakes."

Beria’s opinion is also pertinent, because the supervisory committee is a big quagmire. Among the marginalized people in this department, there are not only those who are not appreciated by the leadership, but also some who have “excelled” in the purge. . This latter type of people are actually being dried up. Once Victor gets them into the National Security People’s Committee, God knows what they will do.

Victor knew that in his previous life, some so-called "history" was not credible. Some people made Beria the executioner of the Great Purge. This argument actually has a big problem. After all, during the Great Purge, he was not in charge of internal affairs. Related work of the People’s Committee.

Of course, Beria also killed many people. For example, when dealing with the separatist forces in the South Caucasus, and during the purging of the NKVD, in addition, after the victory of the Great Patriotic War, he was involved in certain political events. There was also a lot of blood on it. But to say that the work he did was to kill people, and it was not beneficial to the Alliance, it was obviously too extreme.

But what Beria is like is one thing, but his thoughts are another. Victor is really curious, don’t he and Malinkov really want to reach out to the People’s Committee of National Security NS?

Just when Victor was puzzled and wanted to say something to continue to test, a girl in a long skirt walked up to the front entrance of the villa.

The girl is very beautiful, with delicate features and a little baby fat on her face. She walked over generously and stared at Victor curiously. Then she walked behind Malinkov and put her hands on his. On the shoulder, he smiled and said: "Dad, dinner is ready, do you and Uncle Ji still sit down here?"

Malinkov smiled, raised his hand and patted the girl's back, looked at Victor and said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Victor, Victor, this is my daughter, Volia."

Victor hurriedly stood up, reached out to the girl, and smiled: "Hello."

"Hello," Wooriya shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Comrade Victor, don't you feel boring to sit with the two old guys when you are so young and talking?"

"Old guy?" Beria had a stunned expression, and pointed his finger at his face, and said with a smile, "Am I really an old guy?"

Victor could only smile awkwardly, he couldn't answer this, after all, the relationship with these two was not so good.

But the girl in front of me had long heard that Malinkov's daughter was very beautiful and had the temperament of being a celebrity. When I saw it today, it was indeed a well-deserved reputation.

From Wolia, Victor thought of Liang Na inexplicably, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to continue associating with that girl in the future.
