Struggle in Soviet Russia

Things that can't be concealed can't be concealed anyway. The world does not operate according to anyone's wishes. When things come, whether you want them or not, those things will inevitably need to be done.

Leaning back in the chair, Victor lifted Erlang's legs, took a deep breath, and said, "Then tell me about the interrogation and see what we have."

Sophia smiled and did not speak directly. She pushed a document that had been placed on the coffee table in front of Victor and clicked on it with her finger, which clearly meant that this document was the material for the interrogation. Of course, this is also the main content that she will report to Victor-the case of Fabisonko. Previously, it was not only a high concern from the outside world, but also from within the People’s Committee of National Security, as the Ministry of the National Security People’s Committee. Chairman, if the case Victor personally caught is rejected, it will have more or less influence on his authority.

Reaching out to take the document, spread it flat on his knees, and Victor opened the cover of the document with his fingers holding a cigarette, and began to patiently look at the records in it.

Victor had learned about the interrogation situation before. According to the interrogator, Fabisornko was more cooperative. He confessed to trying to steal the waste banknotes and did not try to conceal anything. The situation he explained is basically consistent with the situation currently known by the case-handling personnel, and there is no doubt.

Of course, this is only on the issue of the theft of waste banknotes, and Fabisonke’s attitude is compatible, but on the issues involved in the "Gestenmeier incident", he has a completely different attitude, simple. To describe it is to ask three questions.

Victor was able to figure out the mentality of Febisonko. He should know that the case of the theft of waste banknotes cannot be avoided, because the previous case handlers had a clear attitude on this matter, which shows that the National Security People’s Committee has mastered it. Sufficient evidence.

At the same time, the theft of waste banknotes is a very big case, but Fabisonke is not the main culprit in this case. He is only an accomplice, and he is an accomplice who can remove most of the responsibility. In addition, he has performed enough meritorious service in the wars of the past few years. Just because of this case, he was sentenced to a few years at most. If his performance is good enough, he may be released early.

However, the facts of the case involved in the "Gstenmaier incident" are different. The nature of the two cases is completely different. One is an economic case and the other is a real national security case. The former is at most a few years old. Prison, and the latter, even if it is just pasted a little bit, may lose a small life, even if it is a light sentence, it is estimated that you will have to spend a lifetime in the labor camp.

Fei Bisonke is not an ordinary person. He is literate and insightful. He has been a civil servant for several years, so he can't do it for nothing. He knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Of course, the National Security People’s Committee is not an ordinary case-handling department. To put it in a bad way, the interrogators of the Committee have some ways to get the suspect to speak. It is a pity that Fieschenko is not an ordinary prisoner after all. There are too many people's eyes focused on him, so some methods can't be used on him.

But even so, the interrogators of the National Security People’s Committee are capable of dealing with him. Judging from the interrogation record before Victor, many of the words of Fabisornke are inconsistent under the skillful interrogation of the interrogators. Yes, this is enough to show what he is hiding.

The reason Sophia submitted this interrogation record was actually hoping that Victor could submit the record to obtain permission to take further measures.

"Okay, I understand." After reading the record from beginning to end, Victor nodded, put the documents together, put them on the coffee table in front of him, nodded and said, "I will submit it to Comrade Stalin later. And the Secretariat of the Central Committee, as for what to do next, let's wait for the notice above."

Sophia nodded and was about to say something more when someone knocked on the door of the office.

Victor glanced in the direction of the door, and Nino got up from the chair next to the desk and walked towards the door.

When Nino opened the door, he saw a tall, serious-looking young man standing outside the door. He was wearing a gray Lenin suit and a pair of round-framed metal-rimmed glasses on his face.

Seeing this person, Victor stood up from his chair with a smile on his face and said: "Come in quickly, Comrade Apollo Alexandrovich, I'm waiting for you."

The visitor’s serious face changed with a smile, he strode forward and walked straight to Victor, stretched out his arms to shake hands with him, and said, "Hello, Comrade Victor Viktorovich."

"Hello," Victor shook his opponent's hand strongly, then gestured towards the opposite chair, and asked the other person to sit down while asking, "What would you like to drink? Is coffee okay?"

"Ah, yes," the young man shrugged his nose, glanced at the coffee in front of Victor, and said with a smile, "thank you."

"Nino," Victor made a gesture to Nino, then sat back in the chair and focused his gaze on the young man again.

Since the visitor came, Sophia wouldn't be able to stay here anymore. She put away the papers on the table and left.

"How about it, has the work handover with Comrade Alexander Semenovich begun?" Victor asked with a smile when Sofia had left the house.

The Alexander Semenovich he referred to refers to Panyushkin. This person is called "Pan Youxin" in Chinese. He is the Soviet ambassador to China and he is also an intelligence officer.

As for the young man opposite Viktor, named Apollo Alexander Petrovich Petrov, who is also an intelligence worker, he is highly accomplished in Sinology, especially in classical Chinese philosophy. In addition, he had previously cooperated with Panyushkin and served as the first secretary, counsellor and military attache of the embassy in Chongqing.

According to the appointment and removal order of the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs, in another month, Panyushkin's term will expire. He will be transferred back to Moscow, and the person who succeeds him as the ambassador to China is Petrov.

Since the establishment of the People’s Committee of National Security, the Foreign Intelligence Service in particular has become more and more prominent. The Department of Foreign Intelligence under the People’s Committee of Foreign Affairs has become increasingly close to the People’s Committee of National Security. Under normal circumstances, the foreign intelligence personnel assigned by the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs will report to the People's Committee of National Security for reporting in order to cooperate with each other in the follow-up work.

Of course, in the past, similar work was not carried out by Victor. This was the job of the first deputy director of the Foreign Intelligence Service. This time he met Petrov in person because of an article published by the other party in the newspaper. The article attracted Victor's attention.

Just four days ago, Petrov published an article on intelligence work and national security in the "Labor Daily". Of course, he used a pseudonym. More interestingly, "Labor Daily" is an agency newspaper of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Obviously, the purpose of running the newspaper has nothing to do with intelligence work or national security. The ghost knows how Petrov’s article was sent there.

But it didn't matter, Victor valued the article, not the newspaper.

In this article published by Petrov, it not only explained the importance of intelligence work to a country, but also explained the importance of national security agencies and the tasks and functions they should undertake.

To use Petrov’s statement in that article, the national security agency should be a country’s security monitor. It should not only play an active role in anti-espionage and anti-sabotage work, but also in diplomacy, propaganda, military, and science and technology. Communication and other aspects play a role.

In addition to these basic expositions, Petrov also talked about the post-war world structure, especially the construction of the European political structure. He believes that the intelligence agencies and security agencies of the alliance should be prepared to play an active role in the construction of the post-war political landscape in Europe.

"...The intelligence agencies and security agencies must be well aware of everything, what happened, where it happened, and all the details of what happened... They shouldn’t just be intelligence or counterintelligence agencies, let alone just It is a police organization, but a powerful organization that can influence, manipulate, intervene, and even subvert a certain state power..."

There is no doubt that Petrov’s views embodied in this article are completely consistent with the functions of future intelligence agencies. Come to think of it, isn’t the US Central Intelligence Agency such an agency?

Another point that Victor values ​​is that Petrov saw a new situation that will emerge in the European continent after the war. This situation is different from all previous records in history. Because of an anti-fascist war, the entire European continent was divided by one. Second, the Soviet Union and Western countries dominated by Britain, France and the United States have formed a pattern of confrontation between the East and the West throughout Europe.

Yes, although Victor didn’t know much about the history of the Soviet Union in his previous life, he was very clear about the Cold War. He even knew about events such as the Berlin crisis and the Prague Spring. In the history of previous lives, Victor believes that the functions of the National Security People’s Committee should indeed continue to expand, not be restricted.

The People’s Commission for National Security should advance to Europe together with the Red Army’s westward movement. The intelligence network of the People’s Commission for National Security should be set up on every land that the Red Army can reach. This should be the People’s Commission for National Security. The focus of work for some time to come.
