Struggle in Soviet Russia

In fact, after the Berlin Intelligence Station obtained the information about this poison, it also did not include it in the high level of importance, because it is a by-product of a pesticide. The company gave it a name, and then ignored it.

When the German army marched into Poland, this poison was finally discovered by the German Wehrmacht. It’s just that the strategy and tactics of the German Wehrmacht are no longer the ideals of World War I. What kind of positional warfare and the poison gas that is effective in positional warfare? War, in the eyes of the German Wehrmacht, has fallen behind, so they also did not pay much attention to this poison.

However, after the relevant intelligence was sent back to the Alliance, Victor saw this thing by an inadvertent opportunity, so he took it out and submitted it to Malinkov separately, and explained the importance of this poison.

Yes, people today may not know how deadly Sarin is, but as a traverser, Victor knows this well, so he can't let this "good thing" go anyway. Be ignored.

It is a pity that the relevant information obtained by the Berlin Intelligence Station was not very rich, at least far from comprehensive. Therefore, after the relevant data was handed over to the Soviet Academy of Sciences, it took them more than a year to finally be I got this thing out, so there was such a report to be submitted to Victor.

To be honest, Victor actually really likes foreign intelligence work, because this job always brings surprises.

Again, as a traverser, he has an insight and perspective that the Soviets do not have today. He knows what leading technologies and results are in the current era, and even knows what they are about. What kind of organization does it belong to? With such a prerequisite there, he can have a target and arrange the intelligence theft work just right.

Now, the war is not over. Most of the information stolen by the Foreign Intelligence Agency in the past two years is related to the military. The average person is still not aware of his achievements, but after the war is over, most of the military functions After turning to civilian use, people will sooner or later understand how great his merits are.

In fact, even now, those who are in the core of power in Moscow know how great his merits are. Otherwise, Comrade Stalin would not be so special to him, and Comrade Zhdanov would not care. Suppress him, and Comrades Malinkov and Beria will not be so active in courting him.

Merit is sometimes not important, but sometimes it is very important. For a person walking in the official career, merit is seniority. It can even be said that it is more useful than seniority, because for a person As far as people are concerned, when the qualifications are insufficient, merit can be used to make up, but when the merit is insufficient, the qualifications alone cannot make up.

Therefore, Victor knew where his strengths lie. For him, there is no job more suitable than external intelligence work.

But having said that, as a rebirth, he needs to live a lifetime in this world, in this time and space, and as his influence on this world deepens, many things familiar in previous lives will follow sooner or later. Changed. To put it bluntly, it was the knowledge of the previous life, it is impossible to take this world to eat for a lifetime, and Victor hopes to have his own things to rely on.

People are like this. When they lack self-confidence, they always want to rely on something else, but after they have enough self-confidence, they want to rely on themselves. Victor is no exception.

In addition, with the end of the war, especially with the evolution of the times, countries in Europe and the United States, and even countries in the world, will pay more and more attention to intelligence security, and with the advent of the Cold War, intelligence warfare will become more and more intense. . At that time, external intelligence work will no longer be as easy as it is today, and in comparison, internal intelligence work will become more and more important.

Victor wondered, he couldn’t always do the same job. The core power circle of the alliance couldn’t keep him in this position. Instead of being forced to make a change at some point in the future, he might as well advance himself. Take this step.

Sometimes, Victor is even thinking about whether he should leave the National Security People’s Committee and seek a brand new development opportunity in other fields. Maybe he can do economic work, um, maybe do ideological work?

The rapid sound of footsteps behind him pulled Victor's thoughts back from the divergent state.

He stopped, turned sideways slightly, and looked in the direction of the sound of the footsteps.

Just a few steps behind him, a second lieutenant in the uniform of the National Security People’s Committee was rushing over. Seeing Victor turn around, the second lieutenant stopped, stood upright, and gave him a military salute. Two steps forward, he handed over a piece of letterhead and said at the same time: "Comrade Chairman, the latest news from Ankara."

Victor nodded, reached out his hand to take the letterhead, and nearly three hours passed from the task to the present. After all, there should indeed be news from Turkey.

On the letterhead is a handwritten line of Russian letters. This is obviously a code translated by the receiver. Victor looked at it and said roughly: the target has been eliminated, two people have died, and the intelligence station will suspend operations.

Handing the letterhead to Sophia next to him, Victor said to the second lieutenant: "I see, you go and notify the secretariat, so that they can credit the Istanbul Intelligence Station, sort out the relevant materials, and give me a signature later."

"Yes, Comrade Chairman," the second lieutenant gave another military salute before he turned and ran away quickly.

After doing so long in intelligence work, Victor also knows what he is most afraid of in this line. To put it bluntly, the emergency task that was suddenly issued above is the most difficult problem that the intelligence personnel feel, and this task is obviously like this. of.

Because the task was issued too hastily and at the same time the order was firm, the Istanbul Intelligence Station had no time to make any arrangements and could only force the execution of the task. In this state, it is very difficult not to make mistakes.

This time, the Istanbul Intelligence Station was able to successfully complete this task under such a hurried premise. It should be said that the work has been done well. As for the sacrifice of two people, this is acceptable.

Yes, for Victor, the so-called "two sacrifices" is nothing more than a price necessary for the success of the mission. These two people are just numbers, not real people. At least, he can't feel it. .

Of course, this is the characteristic of intelligence work. Its nature is no different from that of war. No one can count on a commander of the front army. You also need to know what everyone sacrificed in your army in a battle.

When the second lieutenant who sent the message was far away, Sophia looked at the letter paper in his hand and said with a smile: "This time I can finally feel relieved. How about going back to lunch."

It was already time for lunch, but Victor had no intention of having lunch because he remembered things about Istanbul, so Sophia would have such a suggestion.

"Go back," Victor nodded, turned around, and said as he walked back, "It just so happens that we need to inform Comrade Poskrebeshev about this news. I guess it will wait until the afternoon, Comrade Stalin. After waking up, I must be concerned about this matter for the first time."

Sophia nodded, but didn't say anything. She couldn't comment on Comrade Stalin's affairs.

The two walked back shoulder to shoulder and walked a few steps. Victor said: "Recently I will draft a report to make new arrangements for the personnel issues of the committee. If there are no accidents, I will propose that Eitingo He was transferred from the committee department, and at the same time, Comrade Feijing was responsible for presiding over the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency."

Sophia turned his head and glanced at him with some surprise, and said, "Comrade Feijing probably won't accept this proposal. After all, he has done this job before, but..."

Victor smiled and said nothing.

Feijing did do foreign intelligence work. At the time of the NKVD, he served as the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. However, the facts have proved that Comrade Feijing is more suitable for some retreats, and he really can't play with more pragmatic tasks like foreign intelligence.

When the Foreign Intelligence Bureau was still in the NKVD, the Alliance’s external intelligence work was basically in the charge of the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff. The NKVD’s existence in this regard was similar and at least difficult to satisfy Comrade Stalin. Yes, otherwise there will be no subsequent adjustments.

This time, Victor kicked Eitingo out of the People’s Committee of National Security, but proposed that Feijing take over the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency. If Feijing has no problem with his mind, he should know what’s going on and ask for his transfer. The best choice, otherwise, he won't have any sense of presence in the Foreign Intelligence Agency. Not to mention that there are all Victors in this department, even if it is not the case, Fitin's ability cannot convince the crowd.

"Whether Comrade Feijing will take over the work of the Foreign Intelligence Service is not something we need to care about," Victor was silent for a while before continuing, "What we need to care about now is how to do our work in the future. After finishing the work of the Foreign Intelligence Service, I will be responsible for the work of the Internal Intelligence Service and the Counterintelligence Bureau. If possible, I will also take over the work of the Ideological Security Bureau. In the near future, try to familiarize yourself with the relevant aspects. Work so that you don’t get caught up in your head."
