Struggle in Soviet Russia

Among the many railway stations in Moscow, only Kursk Railway Station is more special, because only this railway station is not within the city limits of Moscow, it is on the outskirts of the city, so the road to the city center is a bit bumpy.

During the bumpy driving of the vehicle, Victor kept the first piece of information in his mind as much as possible, so that he could report to Comrade Stalin later-unlike the others who returned to Moscow this time, Victor could not go back to rest first. Then he waited to see Comrade Stalin again the next day. He had to go to the Kremlin as soon as possible to report to the leader the gains and losses of this trip to Ukraine. Of course, the leader was also waiting for him to make this report in person.

As for the second document brought by Nino, it was an intelligence sent back from Minsk by the Internal Intelligence Service. According to the information provided by this intelligence, a Belarusian border guard was in Sri Lanka a week ago. In the swamp belt of the Noord Lake area, an armed guerrilla group of about forty people was wiped out.

Later, the border guard learned from the captured guerrillas that the guerrillas were the remnants of the former Lithuanian battalion that had fled from Lithuania, and its leader was the notorious Lemonus Kuzminskas. After a later verification, the Internal Intelligence Agency could confirm that Lemonas had been killed by the border guard in this small-scale battle.

Looking at the photos of Lemonus Kuzminskas’s body provided in this information, Victor couldn’t help being surprised. That’s right, it is estimated that this news reached Merkulov, and this guy might have to think too. Go for a good drink.

Needless to say, the organization "Lithuanian Battalion", they can be said to be Lithuania’s "best performance" during World War II. This Nazi German servant army was formed in Kaunas and Poneri, and later In the past few years, this force carried out several large-scale **** massacres of Soviet prisoners of war and Jews in the area. In just a few years, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people were killed by them. Therefore, Their crimes can be described as endless.

As for this Lemonus Kuzminskas, he is a commander of the Lithuanian battalion. His name has long been on the lists of the NKVD and the NKVD, but it is a pity , When the Soviet army liberated Lithuania, this guy disappeared, but unexpectedly was shot dead in the Snood Lake region of Belarus.

This good news, it is necessary to tell Comrade Stalin later, he is probably happy about it.

As for the third document, it belongs to the work plan of the Political Security Bureau, which involves a series of travel security arrangements for Comrade Stalin to Yalta.

Just two days ago, as Roosevelt’s special envoy Harriman arrived in Moscow, Comrade Stalin, Churchill, and a Harriman finally finalized the decision of the three heads of state to hold a new round of talks in Yalta.

Unlike the situation in the previous Tehran meeting, this time the meeting has so far finalized the main agenda, including what to discuss during the meeting, what kind of result will be discussed, etc., etc., which have been determined in advance. .

Of course, the matter of the meeting is still top-secret information. Even in the Kremlin’s core of power, there are very few people who know about it. In the entire national security department, whether it is the National Security People’s Committee or the People’s Committee of the Interior, All people who have been exposed to this information can count it with one hand.

Before, when Comrade Stalin went to Tehran to participate in a meeting, the security work was very heavy. After all, the meeting needed to go abroad, and he was going to Iran. The Germans also learned the news in advance.

This time, the security work is relatively better. After all, the meeting place is inside the alliance. At the same time, Yalta is still a large barracks. There are a large number of Soviet troops stationed there. The National Security People’s Committee needs What they did was the attacks of local Ukrainian nationalists and possible saboteurs.

This matter is of great importance. If nothing happens, Victor will also travel with Comrade Stalin. Therefore, although he is not responsible for the specific work of the Political Security Bureau, related matters must also be paid attention to.

When Victor finished reading the last document, the black Volga car also happened to slowly drive into the Kremlin.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the street lights on both sides of the Yonglu had all been turned on, and the Kremlin guards had also been on duty in certain key positions.

Victor waited for the car to stop before the disintegration of Comrade Stalin's office building, and then pushed the door to get out of the car. It was not until he was standing under the car that Valenka, who was sleeping in the front passenger seat, woke up.

"Nino," standing in front of the car, Victor stopped Varenka's attempt to get out of the car. He said to Nino who was standing on the other side of the car. "You send Varenka back first. I'm afraid I will have to wait until late. To go back."

"Okay," Nino nodded and said.

Waiting for Nino to return to the car, Victor stretched the hem of the military uniform, turned and walked up the stairs in front of the building.

As usual, I went to the office of Comrade Poskrebeshev first, but did not find the Secretary-General. Victor had to go upstairs to Comrade Stalin’s office on the second floor.

When he walked to the door of Comrade Stalin’s office, Viktor didn’t see Boskrebeshev. Instead, he ran into a female nurse guarding the door of the office. After asking about it, he learned that Comrade Stalin’s blood pressure was at dusk. It's a bit tall, and the doctors are examining him now. At this time, not only Comrade Poskrebeshev was in the office, but also Comrade Ivan Stepanovic who had been reporting here before.

Although only a nurse, because they have been working alongside Comrade Stalin for a long time, these people are definitely not simple. At least most of the senior members of the alliance can be named by their names. For example, what the nurse said at this time Ivan Stepanovich refers to Konev.

Thinking of Konev, Victor couldn't help but want to say "Hey". This popular man in the eyes of Comrade Stalin is not inferior to Zhukov. In some respects, Comrade Stalin even trusted him more.

It can be said that since the battle of the Korsson-Shevchenkosky Bulge Encirclement, Comrade Stalin took a high look at Konev, and then took advantage of Zhukov’s victory in the battle of Kamenec-Podulsky. Once he made a mistake, Konev took advantage of the opportunity to become the commander of the Ukrainian First Front.

What needs to be clear is that the current Ukrainian First Front Army is one of the two main forces of the Soviet Army. It is similar to the Belarusian First Front Army in terms of strength and weaponry.

The most important thing is that, unlike the troops commanded by Rokosovsky, although the Ukrainian First Front Army was not arranged in the sequence of troops to attack Berlin, it also has the possibility of detouring to Berlin in the direction of attack. sex.

Victor guessed that this time Konev returned to Moscow before the battle was about to start, and he stayed here with Comrade Stalin for so long. The purpose should be to fight for an opportunity, a chance to attack Berlin.

If you consider it from a fair point of view, Victor feels Konev’s ambitions are not unacceptable. After all, for Zhukov, Moscow has given him the best opportunity. He not only holds the strongest group of troops, but also , Also grasped the best opportunity, because his front is on the front of Berlin.

If he has such an advantage, he still can't take the lead in conquering Berlin, and if he is taken advantage of by others, then this honor shouldn't belong to him. Is it possible that Moscow can directly issue an order that all fronts cannot attack Berlin, and this Berlin is there waiting for Zhukov to fall?

Don’t forget that on the Western Front, allied forces headed by the United Kingdom and the United States are advancing to Berlin like a blow. Moscow can restrict Rokosovsky, can restrict Konev, and can it also restrict the Western Front. Offensive speed?

In a word, if you don't have the diamond, don't let the porcelain live, and rely on political means to gain military merit. This behavior itself is disgusting.

Since Comrade Stalin was undergoing an examination, Victor did not rush in. He waited at the door for a while, and after about ten minutes, a group of doctors walked out accompanied by Poskrebeshev.

When he saw Victor waiting at the door, Poskrebeshev was quite surprised. He hurriedly escorted the doctors away and asked Comrade Stalin for instructions. Then Victor was welcomed into the office.

In the office, Comrade Stalin is sitting on the central sofa, while Konev is standing on the side of the wall where the map is hung, holding a metal pointer in his hand. Looking at the situation in that area, he is obviously Report to Comrade Stalin the overall plan of the Ukrainian First Front Army's winter offensive.

Seeing Victor coming in from outside the door, Comrade Stalin beckoned him with his pipe, and smiled: "Come and sit down."

His tone seemed casual, but Victor didn't dare to be casual. He stood at the door, first gave Comrade Stalin a military salute, then took off his military cap and clamped it under his arm, before walking towards the sofa.

"Just returned to Moscow?" When Victor approached, Comrade Stalin pointed to the empty sofa next to him, and said at the same time.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin," Victor said, sitting down on the sofa, nodding, "There are some situations in West Ukraine that need to be reported to you. In addition, the Berlin Intelligence Station also has an important piece of information sent back..."

As he said, he turned his head and smiled at Konev, and said, "I didn't expect Comrade Ivan Stepanovic to be here."
