Struggle in Soviet Russia

"Comrades, the people of the Soviet Union and the soldiers of the Red Army, in the past three years, we have successfully met the challenges of war."

In the tweeter, Comrade Stalin's voice was calm and powerful, and his majesty revealed strong self-confidence and pride.

"Our heroic Red Army has performed its patriotic mission and liberated the motherland from the enemy. Now and forever, we have liberated all the territory from the hands of the Nazis. Now, the Red Army has to perform its last mission, with the help of our allies. , Destroy the fascist German army, kill the fascist beasts in the lair..."

This voice echoed throughout Moscow and spread to all the land of the Alliance through radio broadcasts.

This is an impromptu speech made by Comrade Stalin at the end of the questioning meeting of the members of the National Defense People’s Committee. He did not talk about the legal system and the limitation of the powers of the national security department. He just made a comment on the case of Fabischenko. A simple statement.

Regardless of the question of Fabischenko, just look at this speech. To be precise, it should be this speech. Comrade Stalin mainly summarized the specific performance of the Soviet army in the entire war in the past three years, and also summarized it. The general course of the current war, at the same time, also mentioned the follow-up combat missions of the Soviet Red Army for a period of time in the future.

Don’t underestimate this speech. It actually shows Comrade Stalin’s position and attitude-he has not yet made a final decision on the issue of legal system building and restricting the authority of the national security department. It can also be said that he has not considered it yet. How to make a choice.

Since Comrade Stalin has not made a final decision on this issue, no one has the ability to force him to make a choice. Therefore, this discussion can only be postponed.

Comrade Zhdanov, who is in charge of propaganda and agitation work, attaches great importance to Comrade Stalin’s statements in any public occasions. Therefore, this speech was excerpted by someone specially arranged by him and put in the media propaganda. This is why it can appear. The reason in the broadcast.

Regarding Fabischenko’s question, Comrade Stalin clearly expressed his support for the People’s Committee of National Security and the judicial department. He believed that fighting is first and foremost the duty of a Red Army soldier, not only to the Soviet motherland, but also to the family. Obligations. The meritorious service is a sublimation of this obligation. It is a commendable act, but it is not a token of impunity. At any time, under any circumstances, there should be no exceptions.

With Comrade Stalin’s clear statement, Fabischenko’s question naturally has nothing worth discussing. As for his last speech, it can also be seen as a comfort to the military. Of course, if the two are combined If you get up, you can get a deeper sense of Comrade Stalin's meaning: He is already clearly dissatisfied with the military's growing political ambitions.

Now that there is a final opinion on how to deal with Fabischenko’s issue, the National Security People’s Committee, led by Victor, naturally needs to continue investigating Gerstenmeier’s case.

………………

Lin-yin Road, Headquarters Building of the People's Committee of National Security, Chairman's Office.

In front of the French window where the curtain was opened, Victor was holding a small tray in one hand and a coffee cup in the other, and took a sip of fragrant coffee.

The coffee was just brewed, and it was a bit hot. Victor sniffed, put the coffee cup back on the tray, and placed the tray on the coffee table in front of him. Then he reached out and took the pack of cigarettes on the table. I ordered one myself.

Outside the window, the torrential rain was pounding, and the raindrops the size of soybean grains hit the window, making a crackling sound, while the manic south wind made a "buzzing" sound outside the window, which sounded a little frightening.

On the opposite side of the coffee table, Sophia put the paper that had just been read on the coffee table, pushed it in front of Victor, and prepared the pen for him, placed it in the middle of the document, waiting for him to review it before taking it down and handing it off.

This document is not very important. The main content of this document is about the establishment of "Dzerzhinsky Junior School" in Stalingrad, Odessa, Kharkov and Murmansk. The National Security People’s Committee needs to allocate funds specifically to support the operation of these schools.

The decision on the establishment of the "Dzerzhinsky Junior School" was personally proposed by Victor and passed at a meeting of the Presidium. The main thrust of the decision was an order issued by the NKVD.

In the past three years of wars, the Soviet Union has suffered heavy losses, especially the casualties, which is a staggering number. As a result, it has also created a large number of orphans in the Union who lost their parents.

In order to solve the problem of raising and educating orphans, especially to take care of the orphans of the martyrs, under the coordination of the People’s Committee and the Military Committee, a series of juvenile military academies have been established throughout the alliance since last year. For example, the juvenile military academy established by the Navy is called the "Nasimov Military Academy", the army established it is called the "Suvorov Military Academy", and the air force established it is called the "Juvenile Aviation Flight School."

In response to this call, and at the same time, to train professionals for the National Security People’s Committee, Victor also issued a similar order, and the "Dzerzhinsky Junior School" was set up under this circumstance.

With the cigarette in his left hand, Victor leaned over and took the document in front of him. While holding the pen, he scanned the document from beginning to end—this was his habit, even though Sophia had done it before. He read the document once, but when it was formally signed, he still had to read it again by himself.

After confirming that the content of the file was okay, Victor signed his name with the pen at the end. Then, when he put it down, he asked, "How is the investigation of the Ozdoev incident?"

"No new report has been delivered yet," Sophia said, putting the documents away. "I'll remind you later."

Ozdoev is Fmini Semenovich Ozdoev, a Lithuanian, the translator of the Leningrad Municipal Committee’s External Liaison Committee. Before that, Victor received the information provided by the Warsaw Intelligence Station, and in this information , Reveals a spy organization of a former Polish intelligence agency that has been lurking in Leningrad for a long time.

According to the information provided in this report, this Ozdoyev has served in the Second Bureau of the Polish General Staff since 1935. He was headed by the then head of the Bureau, Colonel Tadeus Peczski. Personally recruited, and before Poland was divided by Sude, this person was personally led by Joseph Englicht, and Englicht was the first deputy director of the second bureau of the Polish General Staff. Therefore, the importance of Ozdoev can also be seen.

When Warsaw was conquered by the Germans, the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Soviet General Staff at the time tried to seize the archives of the Second Bureau of the Polish General Staff, thereby removing Poland's espionage organizations lurking in the Soviet Union. But unfortunately, The German intelligence personnel took the first step to conquer the headquarters of the Second Bureau in Piłsudski Square and pulled away all the information. It is said that the information pulled a full six carts at the time.

Although the Soviet Union also coordinated with the Germans later, they still failed to get even a piece of useful material. After Victor took over the work of the National Security People’s Committee, he always believed in those who had served the Polish government. The Polish espionage organization is definitely working for the Germans, after all, their true identities have been mastered by the Germans.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, especially after the rise of the National Security People’s Committee, and the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency entered a period of high efficiency, the intelligence networks that the Poles had planted have never been exposed. After all, they are not Germans.

This time, the Warsaw Intelligence Station obtained Ozdoyev’s intelligence and determined his spy status. Victor attached great importance to this clue. He personally caught the entire case, and the priority was better than Febi. Schoenke's business is much more advanced.

"We must hurry up," Victor replaced the cigarette in his right hand, knocked on the ashtray, shaking off the ashes, and said, "If the information provided by the Warsaw Intelligence Station is correct, then this Ozdoev has nearly 20 A veteran agent with years of experience in intelligence work. Such people generally have very keen intuition and act decisively. Once they notice the slightest abnormality, they will choose to escape."

After taking a puff of smoke, he continued: "Tell the people over there that I can agree with their idea of ​​catching big fish, but I cannot accept the result of failure. If the big fish is not caught and the bait is thrown away, I will let They regret it."

"Yes, I will pass on your request," Sophia nodded and said.

Since this Ozdoev is a Leningrad cadre, the Leningrad National Security People’s Committee is also in charge of this case so far.

To be honest, Victor’s control over the Leningrad National Security People’s Committee is very limited. There is a relatively independent system. The person in charge is a member of the Presidium of the Committee. Therefore, they now have their own ideas on this case. , Victor shouldn't be too obvious to intervene, so as not to do it like trying to gain power.

"Compared to Ozdoyev's case, you seem to be more concerned about the case of Fabišenko," Sofia smiled when he saw that he didn't say anything, and then replied, "The trial of Fabišenko has already begun. Some progress has been made. Would you like to know the situation?"

Victor frowned. He didn't like this case. If possible, he would prefer that this case be solved by the NKVD for handling. But the problem is that Comrade Stalin wants him to handle it, so he can't get rid of it. .
