Struggle in Soviet Russia

Victor shook hands with the opponent, but did not directly answer his question. Instead, his eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Comrade Boskrebeshev who was following Simchak.

At this time, Comrade Poskrebeshev also happened to look at him, glanced at him, and shook his head insignificantly. At the same time, he smiled and said: "The Chargé d’Affaires Simchak is very concerned about Lavalokaya. How is the investigation of the incident? Is there any new information?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Simchak," Viktor knew how to reply when he saw Poskrebeshev shaking his head. He glanced at Simchak and said in a serious tone, "I don't know you. From what standpoint is it to ask me this question, because as far as I know, Lavalokaya is the territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist States. More precisely, it belongs to Ukraine, not Poland. The villagers and tourists killed in Lavalskaya are also citizens of the Union. Therefore, we will of course attach great importance to the Lavalskaya case, and of course we will hurry up to investigate, but this has nothing to do with the Polish government in exile. Relationship, our work progress does not need to report to you."

"No, no, Mr. Viktor Viktorovich, I think your position is unfair," Simchak retorted immediately, "Lavarosskaya belongs to Lviv, and Lviv is an inherent territory of Poland. at this point……"

"I'm not interested in discussing this with you," Victor interrupted him directly and said impatiently, "The main reason is that I don't have time to waste on this topic. If you want to discuss this topic further, you can go to Diplomatic People. Comrades of the committee, as for me, I'm sorry, I still have my own job."

After speaking, Victor took a step forward and continued to walk up the stairs upstairs.

The Polish government-in-exile has been arguing with Moscow regarding the ownership of the West Ukraine region, including Lviv. However, the reality of the world is very real. International laws and international norms are all shit. How do you say that? The truth only exists within the range of the artillery. Yes, international politics is so cruel. In places where it is difficult to reach by force, no political demands should be mentioned, and the people in the Polish government in exile have obviously not understood this. One point, or that they understand this, but still want to speculate from it.

Freed from the entanglement from Simchak, Victor walked straight into the small building. Instead of going directly to the second floor, he stopped in the front hall on the first floor and waited for Comrade Boskrebeshev to return.

After about a few minutes, footsteps came from outside the door, and Victor turned his head to look over, only to discover that the person here was not Poskerbeshev, but Merkulov in the uniform of the NKVD.

Since Serov went to the Far East, the NKVD has been headed by Comrade Merkulov. Of course, he, the NKVD, is acting as an agent. In his real position, he is still in the NKVD. The first deputy people's committee. However, Victor knows very well that Serov probably has no hope of returning to the NKVD in the short term. Even if he returns from the Far East now, the NKVD will not belong to him.

As for why Merkulov has not removed the "agent" label and took the post of the NKVD directly, Victor felt that most of Comrade Stalin was not optimistic about this guy, and at the same time, there was no better candidate to replace him. .

In fact, Victor also knows that the seat of the acting NKVD Merkulov is probably not easy to sit on. Although Comrade Beria is deep enough in the Ministry of the NKVD, all the main seats belong to him, but These people don't get along well with each other, and there are also complicated struggles between them.

Merkulov is now the de facto head of the NKVD, but Comrade Beria has been transferred from his post of national security. In this way, it is hard to say whether Merkulov can calm the scene.

In the final analysis, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Since Beria is no longer in charge of national security work, then he lacks control over the guys in the NKVD. Therefore, he has to continue to win over those people. Can't put too much pressure on them, and at the same time, he has to worry about these people leaving him.

As far as Victor knew, Comrade Abakumov seemed to be in a bad way now, and Beria seemed to have lost control of this guy.

Just last month, Abakumov became one of the deputy people’s commissars of the NKVD, which is tantamount to a step up, and this promotion was made by Comrade Stalin himself.

Victor knows very well that Abakumov’s previous work in the Transcaucasus region is very good, regardless of whether his methods are cruel or not, whether he has a lot of blood, at least it is certain that the frequent riots in the Transcaucasus region He has been greatly improved, and he is valued by Comrade Stalin because of his work.

Regardless of the fact that this guy Abakumov has no culture, he has not attended elementary school for a few days, but his work at the NKVD is really handy. For this, even Victor has to admire him.

Now, Abakumov, who has been recognized by Comrade Stalin, has become the most powerful competitor for the next NKVD of the NKVD. Just imagine how the relationship between him and Merkulov could be harmonious. ?

"Good morning, Victor," Merkulov greeted Victor with a smile, coming in from outside the building.

Ever since Victor mixed with Malinkov and Beria in the same camp, the relationship between him and the heads of the NKVD on the hills and brains has eased. In this way, his relationship with Merkulov It should be considered the best. After all, the two have been to Ukraine together before, and the cooperation between them is still tacit understanding.

"Good morning, Fischervolod," Victor walked up a few steps to meet the other person, and Victor stretched out his hand in advance and said with a smile, "Why, you also got Comrade Stalin's comrade over here?"

Merkulov nodded first, then he turned his head and looked back, then lowered his voice and said, "It's about what happened in Lavalokaya. Now, this case has become our internal affairs. The number one case of the People’s Committee is now. Those **** Ukrainian bandits will not be wiped out and we will not have a peaceful life."

Victor smiled, and when he was about to say something, he saw Boskrebeshev had appeared at the door of the building. He let go of Merkulov's hand, looked at the comrade the secret, smiled and greeted: "Finally the trouble is sent away."

Boskrebeshev grinned bitterly and pouted his lips, and made another gesture of spreading his hands.

Yes, for many officials in the alliance, the people in the Polish government-in-exile are indeed a trouble. They can't threaten anyone, but they will stick to people like dog skin plasters, and they will not be taken off, otherwise. , They will protest and talk nonsense in front of media reporters.

Just a few days ago, Tadeusz Komorowski, the commander-in-chief of the Polish National Army, openly declared in an interview with reporters in London that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, as the three major anti-fascist alliances, had opposed Warsaw. The warriors of the uprising did not save their lives. They sold the 200,000 uprising army in Warsaw to Hitler and his lackeys. Today's Warsaw is about to fall into ruins, but the three major powers of the Allies turned a blind eye to this.

This person's statement caused an uproar in the homeland of Britain and the United States, whether it was Churchill or Roosevelt, the defendant was in horror. But what are the facts? The fact is that the decision of the Warsaw Uprising was made by this Tadeusz Komorowski. He hoped that the Warsaw Uprising would be successful and used this to block the Soviet Red Army from the Polish border. He even proposed Lithuania is also Polish territory, and the Soviets should withdraw from the three Baltic countries.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are no 200,000 insurgents in Warsaw, and there are almost 200,000 residents in Warsaw.

As for why the Alliance did not expel these people from the Polish government in exile and let them leave the Alliance far away, there are many reasons for this. In addition to political factors, there is also a need for Polish exile because of the advancement of the Red Army in Poland. Where the government cooperates, because these guys control the largest resistance network in Poland.

Don’t think that the Polish National Army has failed in the Warsaw Uprising, just think that this military force is very weak. In fact, according to the intelligence held by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People’s Commissar of National Security, the current active force of the national army in Poland has exceeded In many places, they even have actual control rights.

As for the Polish National Liberation Committee controlled by Beirut, its influence in Poland is minimal. It is precisely because of this that Moscow even hopes to obtain the cooperation of the Polish government in exile, but this idea is obviously a bit unrealistic.

"We only received a briefing on the situation on Lavaloskaya last night," Victor said when Poskrebeshev approached. "Further news has not come through until now, Stalin Comrades brought us here so early, is there any new news?"

Poskrebeshev glanced at Merkulov next to him, then hesitated, and said: "The new news has not come yet, but related reports have already appeared. This matter will be reported by the British this morning. Comrade Stalin was very angry about this in several major newspapers of China, and now I am looking for you to hear what plans you have."
