Struggle in Soviet Russia

Watching Anlena drive away from the car, Victor turned around, adjusted the windbreaker jacket he was wearing, and walked towards the entrance of the small building until the taillights disappeared into the night.

At the entrance of the small building, a young man in a gray Lenin costume was walking towards him. This young man Victor knew him. He was Malinkov's secretary of life, named Svidkoy.

"Good evening, Comrade Victor Victorovich," the young Svidkoy greeted Victor.

"Good evening," Victor nodded and asked with a smile, "Who did Georgi invite tonight?"

"In addition to you, there are Comrades Lavrenji and Vasily Mikhailovich," Svidkoy made a please gesture, and led Victor up the steps before whispering. .

"Oh?" Victor was stunned. Needless to say, Lavrenji was referring to Beria, but this Vasily Mikhailovich didn't know who it was.

After thinking hard in his mind, Victor finally locked a person. He tentatively asked: "Comrade Vasily Mikhailovich, when will he come back from Sverdlov?"

"Just this morning," Svidkoy said immediately, as expected, "it seems to be coming back to visit General Ivan Mikhailovich Baltijeski."

Viktor nodded. Ivan Mikhailovich Bartijeski was referring to the artillery chief of the 43rd Army. He was seriously injured in the previous post-war period. He is now being rescued and treated in Moscow, but I heard that the situation is not That’s great. So far, it's just maintaining life. It is estimated that the possibility of final sacrifice is very high.

As for Comrade Vasily Mikhailovich, he refers to Andrianov, who has been serving as the first secretary of the Sverdlov Oblast and the first secretary of the municipal party committee for several years. Now, he should be considered Malinkov's best friend.

Following behind Svidkoy, Victor walked into the small building and changed a pair of slippers at the entrance. When he walked into the lobby on the first floor, he found that there was only one woman playing with three children in the lobby. The woman Victor doesn't know him yet.

"Comrade Georgi and they are in the study upstairs, please come with me," Svidkoy led Victor directly up the stairs, up the second floor, and went to Malinkov's study.

This kind of building should belong to the housing assigned to the members of the Politburo. In terms of specifications, it is much higher grade than Victor’s villa, and even the study room is much more spacious. When Victor was under the leadership of Svidkoy When he walked into the study room on the second floor, the three people were scattered on a few chairs and smoked.

It was indeed sitting away. Sitting by the door was a tall and thin middle-aged man. Victor had seen this man several times. It was Andrianov. This man appeared to be born in 1902 and is now in his prime. Moreover, Comrade Stalin was also on the number, and he should be regarded as a senior cadre with a strong young age and a promising future.

Behind the large desk facing the door, it was not Malinkov who was sitting, but Comrade Beria, who had obviously gained a lot of weight during this period. When Victor entered the door, he was holding a cigarette in his left hand and his right hand. Holding a document while looking at it, the two bushy eyebrows were frowning tightly, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood.

As for the host, Malinkov was standing next to a window on the right side of the study, smoking too, perhaps because he felt that the study was too choked, he also opened a gap in the window, and the night breeze came in through the gap. Blow his hair a little messy.

Seeing Victor walk in from the outside of the study, Andrianov, who was standing at the door, stood up first, greeted with a smile, and shook hands with Victor. Although the two rarely meet and there is little overlap in work, they belong to the same one after all. It is very necessary for the political camp to maintain a friendly attitude.

After Andrianov, Comrade Malinkov, who was standing by the window, smiled and greeted him, and shook hands with Victor. Only Comrade Beria was always sitting behind the desk, and the old **** was still there. , Just nodded towards Victor and said hello.

"I heard that you just left from the Kremlin," he let Victor into the study, Malinkov closed the door easily, and then passed a cigarette over and said with a smile, "I thought of asking you to come over directly, but I was still Raf. Lian Ji suggested to wait a while and let you rest for a while."

"It's a coincidence. When I received your call, I just took a shower." Victor took off his military cap, showing his hair that hadn't dried much, and smiled.

"My suggestion is to see you again tomorrow night," Beria interrupted, holding the document in his hand, "but Georgi is anxious to learn about Konev, so I can only ask you overnight coming."

"Konev?" Victor asked blankly.

"Konev does not approve of the winter offensive plan of the General Staff, so he has prepared another plan. It is not a secret," Malinkov handed over another lighter and said, "Now, many people They are all paying attention to his combat plan. Of course, they are mainly concerned with the attitude of Comrade Stalin."

Speaking of this, he paused, then looked at Victor and asked, "Do you have any latest news?"

"Oh," Victor made a daze and smiled, "It's very coincidental. When I went to report to Comrade Stalin, it happened that Comrade Konev was promoting his combat plan. However, Comrade Stalin did not make a clear statement, but I can feel that he is a little tempted by Konev's plan."

Malinkov nodded and looked at Beria. The two eyes met in the air, and it seemed to convey some news.

Don’t think that those in the military system only know about fighting and military exploits. They also have a stand and position. Victor can be sure that people such as Konev and Zhukov should all have their support, but he did not go. Pay attention to these issues.

Thinking of this, Victor's thoughts drifted a little away. He suddenly thought of a piece of information from the New York Intelligence Station. It seemed that the problems faced by the Alliance now exist. The Americans also exist, and that is the vested military caused by the war. Victor did not pay enough attention to the problem of the expansion of interest groups before. Now there is a sudden flash of light in his mind. Combined with the part of history he knew in his previous life, Victor feels that this information is actually about the trend of the international situation after the war. , Is still very influential.

Not to mention anything else, in the current United States, there are also huge disputes over how to determine the general trend of national policy after the war.

According to intelligence, there are currently two completely different views in the U.S. Congress. One view is that once the war is over, the United States should quickly return to its pre-war policy, that is, a policy of non-interference, and continue to return to the United States and live on its own. Little day. Another view is that this war has placed the burden of leading the international community on the shoulders of the United States, and the United States should shoulder this responsibility and become a global leader.

Of these two views, the latter view caters to the interests of the American military group, which has rapidly expanded its influence in the past few years.

Because he was gone, Victor didn't hear what Malinkov said next, and it wasn't until Beria spoke his name that he suddenly came to his senses.

"What?" Victor asked almost subconsciously, looking at Beria who had risen from behind his desk.

"It's not what I said, but Georgi is asking you what are you thinking," Beria said, spreading his hands.

"Oh," Victor's mind turned quickly, he smiled, turned his head to find a chair next to him, went straight to sit down, lit the lighter in his hand, and said, "I'm thinking about Comrade Konev Battle plan."

Hearing what he said, the few people present were quiet. It was obvious that they were all very interested in Konev's combat plan.

According to the principle of confidentiality, Victor cannot disclose the winter offensive plan formulated by Konev to these people present, because it is a secret of the military, and he can access it because of the permission of Comrade Stalin. But having said that, there are times when principles are not something that everyone will abide by.

Sitting in a chair, Victor briefly recounted the plan he had heard from Konev. He considered that without a map comparison, the three people present could not understand when he said it, but this It doesn't matter. For Malinkov and the others, it is enough to know what Konev's real intentions are and whether his plan is attractive enough for Comrade Stalin.

"It just so happens that you are here today." After listening to Victor's statement, whether it was Malinkov or Beria, they did not discuss this issue. The latter handed over the document he had read. , Said to Victor, "Look at this document too, maybe Georgi needs your strong support in related work."

Victor dangled a cigarette, leaned forward to take the document, and dropped his head on his knees to look down.

It can be seen from the cover of the document that this is a work plan issued by the Post-War Reconstruction Committee. He opened the cover and was about to read the contents. He heard Malinkov say: "The post-war reconstruction work did not imagine. China is so simple, the issues involved in it are numerous and complicated, and the contradictions caused are numerous and complicated. At present, it has triggered disputes within the Politburo."

Victor was a little bewildered. He raised his head and glanced at Malinkov, wondering how a post-war reconstruction work would cause contradictions and even disputes within the Politburo.
