Struggle in Soviet Russia

It was late at night. In the villa on the side of the boulevard, the light in the study room on the second floor was still on. Although the heavy curtains were mostly closed, there was still a gap. Some dim lamp lights came from this gap. It shows through and is projected on the wall outside the window.

In the room, Victor, who had been flushed because he had drunk, sat behind his large desk. Under the light, his eyes were slightly glowing, looking at a letter paper placed in front of him. On this letterhead is part of the report he just drafted.

Perhaps he was not very satisfied with the report. He straightened up, stretched out his hand to tear off the top page of the letterhead, turned it into a paper egg, and threw it directly into the trash basket on the side—the trash basket in the study was cleaned up every day. The manuscript that Victor discards, even if it is just a small piece of paper, will be carefully condensed and sent to be incinerated, so as to prevent any important information from leaking out from here.

Don't think that this is a superfluous act. In fact, the main members of the entire National Security People's Committee are bound by this requirement, and it is also a basic operation for intelligence personnel to search for the trash left by the target person.

Throwing away the scrapped page, Victor picked up the pen again, frowning and thinking about the words.

In the cocktail party tonight, Comrade Stalin gave him a talk about the next work and adjustment plan of the National Security People’s Committee. The chairman of the committee must get it out as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be a little too late. Long.

According to Victor’s plan, he is going to hand over the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency in this work adjustment, and he will take over the three tasks of counterintelligence, internal intelligence, and ideological defense. However, he will Before the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency was handed over, he believed that he had to make a basic overall arrangement for the future work of the department.

At the beginning of the establishment of the National Security People’s Committee, Victor was in charge of external intelligence work. At the very beginning, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People’s Committee of National Security had only the empty frame transferred from the NKVD, and there was almost nothing. The most outrageous thing was that the Berlin Intelligence Station was messed up at that time. It's just abandoned.

In the next more than a year, Victor grew out of nothing and made the entire Foreign Intelligence Agency a little plump. It was not until later that the General Staff Intelligence Bureau and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Academy of Sciences were merged to develop this department into what it is today. Situation.

If it is said that “the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took the shade”, then Victor has planted this tree strong enough, and he said unceremoniously that if the intelligence agencies arranged by the Foreign Intelligence Agency in the United Kingdom and the United States are both cracked by the two countries, The consequences are enough to create a political turmoil in these two countries.

If it is said that Victor has no nostalgia for the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, it is simply impossible. If there is no more ambition and ideas, he would even work in this department for a lifetime instead of going anywhere. But reality tells him that it is impossible. If he wants to go further and more solidly in the political arena of the Soviet Union, he must not only engage in this work, but must do more attempts.

As he had thought before, one day in the future, he will even need to leave the People's Committee of National Security and go to another institution to continue his future.

Before leaving the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Victor was prepared to perform his last duties and make advance arrangements for certain tasks that must be focused on in the Foreign Intelligence Agency for a period of time. Among them, Victor believes that the most important One problem is the grasp of scientific and technological intelligence information in Germany and its many slave countries.

The so-called scientific and technological intelligence information here does not refer to detailed and specific scientific and technological information. It refers to the information collection of important scientific and technological enterprises, scientific and technological talents, and scientific research institutes in these countries, including Germany, Hungary, Poland, and so on.

As the war progresses, so far, the front has shifted from the territory of the alliance. If nothing else, the next step, the Soviet army will take action in Romania to force this German servant in the shortest possible time. China surrendered.

With the advance of the Soviet army in Romania, there is a problem that will inevitably come to the table, that is, the liquidation of these countries that have carried out aggression against the Soviet Union, to put it more bluntly, that is, the alliance should take something from these countries. What to make up for the losses suffered in the war.

The core of Moscow’s leadership has been discussing this issue for a long time, but Victor is very clear that most of their concerns are mainly wealth and resources. As for the attention to technology and talent, it is far from enough. To this end, Victor is going to arrange related work and request the Foreign Intelligence Agency to collect as much intelligence information as possible in order to cooperate with the liquidation department in the future and compete for relevant resources and talents as soon as possible.

The latest intelligence from the Foreign Intelligence Agency from the United States shows that the Americans have carried out a "cloud-covering fog-around project" and are preparing to absorb a large number of high-tech talents from Germany and send them to the United States to serve the US government. , They have already begun to do so.

Of course, this work has encountered great resistance in the United States, mainly because the opposition from Jewish interest groups is high. They cannot accept anyone who serves the German fascists, but Victor understands it very well, even if it is political. Opposing forces, this plan of the Americans will still be implemented. The only difference is that the "cloud covering mist project" should be called the "paperclip project".

Now that the Americans have begun to do this, the alliance must also act immediately. Victor is even preparing to make recommendations in his work report. For those Germans who are unwilling to come to the Soviet Union or threatened scientific researchers, the Foreign Intelligence Service All necessary measures can be taken to ensure that they will not fall into the hands of Americans.

In addition to this work report, Victor will also prepare a report, that is, under the new situation after the war, if the Foreign Intelligence Service further develops some suggestions for intelligence work, he will be responsible for the two reports in the Foreign Intelligence Service. On the appointment, the last two reports were submitted.

Of course, these two reports are equivalent to the handover of the original work. For now, Victor does not know who will take over his work. As the former head of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, he can certainly recommend a successor, but consider As far as the importance of this department is concerned, the candidates he recommends may not be acceptable. In other words, even the chairman of the presidium of his National Security People’s Committee cannot decide who in the presidium can replace him in charge of external intelligence work. .

Perhaps, the executive committee transferred another person from outside.

In terms of new work, Victor will submit an important report. In this report, he will propose to unite the Internal Intelligence Agency, the Counterintelligence Agency, and the Ideological Defense Agency to form a unit that has different functions, but However, if it is possible, he hopes to refer to these three departments as a joint conference on internal intelligence work.

The reason for this adjustment is because the nature of the work of these three departments and their job functions have many overlapping parts.

The Internal Intelligence Bureau is responsible for the collection of all aspects of the alliance’s domestic intelligence. It is the basis for the smooth implementation of the various internal work of the National Security People’s Committee. If there is no accurate information provided by the Internal Intelligence Bureau, the Counter-Spyware Bureau and the Ideological Protection Bureau, Even the Political Security Bureau will become blind and deaf to a large extent.

The counterintelligence bureau and the ideological defense bureau, their targets are often the same.

Victor believes that in future espionage warfare, Western hostile countries’ espionage infiltration operations against the alliance will not only take on the task of collecting intelligence, but also take on the functions of ideological destruction and peaceful evolution. Therefore, there are many anti-espionage operations. Time itself is an action to defend ideology, and vice versa.

For this reason, communication and information sharing between these three departments will be very necessary, and it may even affect the work efficiency of the entire National Security People’s Committee.

In addition, Victor believes that the corresponding deployment of anti-terrorism work should also be included in the tasks of the Ideological Defense Agency.

Yes, here, Victor proposed the definition of "anti-terrorism work". Before that, the term terrorism really couldn’t be said to be commendatory or derogatory, because the term first appeared during the French Revolution. At that time, there was an elegant Red terrorism created by the Gabion faction.

Here, Viktor’s terrorism is truly terrorism in the modern sense. It specifically refers to those terrorist activities that do not have the support of the masses, but use assassinations and other means to promote their own political goals, similar to the anti-government guerrillas in West Ukraine. The real "Forest Brothers" on the coast of the Baltic Sea and the armed rebellion in the Transcaucasian region are all defined by Victor as terrorism.

Victor suggested that the alliance should abolish the previous strategy of relying solely on civilian police and border guards to deter terrorist operations, and should form a number of special elite forces specifically to target these small but small armed forces that are good at hiding.

These special elite troops should have received various specialized special trainings. They are equipped with the most advanced weaponry and individual equipment, possess the most sophisticated personal skills and tactics, and can fight under various complex terrain and weather conditions. The enemy's ability to carry out "decapitation operations".

According to Victor’s suggestion, members of these special elite forces can be selected and recruited from active forces, border guards, and even secret service schools, and the Ministry of National Security People’s Committee is responsible for training and commanding to deal with small-scale armed conflicts that may occur in various regions. .
