Struggle in Soviet Russia

"I have also received information submitted by the Internal Intelligence Bureau before," Victor said, facing Comrade Stalin's gaze, "According to the information we have, the Turks have indeed been serving the Tatars for quite a long time in the past. Tar will always provide assistance with funds and even weapons. The person who is specifically responsible for this work is Sarah Megalo..."

"Oh, our old friend," Comrade Stalin turned his head and smiled at Molotov when he heard the name of Sara Zhaoglu, and said sarcastically.

Sara Zhaoglu is the Turkish foreign minister. He has dealt with Moscow more than once. When the Munich Agreement was signed, this guy was one of the parties. By 1939, when the German and Soviet troops divided up Poland, This guy also made a special trip to Moscow, hoping to sign the so-called "Soviet-Turkish Mutual Aid Treaty" with the Soviet Union, and secretly instigated the alliance to take the lead in attacking the Germans.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war, the Salazoglu also sent a so-called battle plan to the French ambassador to Turkey, Masigre, proposing that the French would be stationed in Syria while the Soviet Union was at war with Finland. Move to Iran, then raid the Soviet Transcaucasus map with Turkish troops to capture Baku in one fell swoop.

During the entire Soviet-German war, although Turkey claimed to maintain a neutral attitude, in its country, not only did the media sing praises for the Germans, but also trade between it and the Germans was always going on. In addition, they It has also been supplying Tatar nationalists in Crimea with weapons and equipment through smuggling routes on the Black Sea.

This situation continued until the end of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans showed obvious fatigue, and the Turks, who saw that the situation was not right, began to become somewhat restrained.

"Sarah Zoglu is not only providing assistance to the Tatars, but also the trade exchanges between the Turks and the Germans in the past few years, he is also responsible for," Victor accompanied the leader with a smile, Then he continued, "According to the information we have, from 1941 to last year, both Germany and Turkey have followed the trade agreement they signed in 1941, and according to the provisions of this agreement, the two countries have The turnover of goods between them is as high as 100 million Turkish lira.”

"So, we are now punishing not only the Tatars in Crimea, but also the Turks," Molotov said with a smile.

"The so-called neutrality of the Turks is just a cover for their support for Fascist Germany," Comrade Stalin said after getting up from the sofa, walking around the back of the sofa, and pacing back and forth, "at least we can Think they are not really neutral, just not at war, but in fact, they provided material support for the German aggression, so they are allies of fascism and should be in a just court received the harshest trial."

…………

Coming out of Comrade Stalin's office, Victor went all the way downstairs and got into his Volga sedan in front of the building.

It was almost noon now, but the fine rain and snow were still falling. The snow on the Yong Road in the Kremlin might have been cleaned by someone. Except for the slippery ground, there was no snow.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Victor closed his eyes and maintained a dozing posture, but in his mind he was thinking about the statement made by Comrade Stalin before.

In the plan of Comrade Stalin and many comrades of the People's Commissariat of National Defense, there are many countries that need to be punished after the war, and most of them are servant countries of the Germans. Arguable.

Among them, there are also some countries that did not participate in the war. They are also in the list of countries that the Soviet Union plans to punish. Among them, Turkey is definitely ranked first.

Of course, the reason why Moscow wants to punish Turkey is not only because of its ambiguous attitude in the war, not only because of its domestic media's slander of the Soviet Union, and not only because of the Turks' attitude towards Tatar nationalists. Covert support. To be honest, the reason why Moscow wants to punish Turkey is because the alliance needs to recapture the two areas that once belonged to the alliance from Turkey.

These are all issues related to the interests of the Union State, and there is no right or wrong at all.

According to Comrade Stalin's plan, at the three-nation summit meeting in Yalta soon, he will raise the issue of Turkey and demand that a final agreement be reached at this meeting.

However, according to Comrade Molotov, the idea of ​​the alliance to classify Turkey as a defeated country is likely to be resisted by the British, and relatively speaking, the resistance from the Americans may be less.

The reason for this is that the Americans lack a sense of presence in the Middle East, especially in Turkey, Iran and other places, which is similar to the alliance, but the British are different. interests exist.

Therefore, for this proposal to pass, the coalition should also reach a certain level of consensus with the Americans.

Thinking of Comrade Stalin's position on the Turkey issue, Victor, as the chairman of the People's Commissariat for National Security, naturally had to find a way to take the initiative to do something. At least, he needed to do something in Turkey, or even in the entire Middle East.

In the past few years, in the process of rapid expansion and expansion, the Foreign Intelligence Service has established complex intelligence stations in many parts of the world. However, due to the priority, the work in this area is mainly concentrated in Germany, the United Kingdom, In the Americas and East Asia and other places, as for the Middle East, where the alliance lacks a sense of presence, the work done by the Foreign Intelligence Service is still lacking.

But even so, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is not without achievements. Not long ago, Victor also got a piece of information from the Middle East. Now, he thinks this piece of information is more important.

According to this piece of information, in Turkey’s East Kurdistan region, the local Kurds were inspired by the Kurdish Republic established by Iran and are also planning a rebellion to seek national independence.

Yes, in the Middle East, not only are there a large number of Kurds in Iran, but also in Syria, Turkey, and Iraq, which border Iran, a large number of Kurds live. In general, there are now about tens of millions of Kurds living in a narrow strip of land that borders the four countries.

Because the Kurds are Sunni Muslims, they are oppressed in the region in general, especially in Turkey.

Since Kemal's revolution, Turkey has been determined to establish a single-ethnic unified state and opposes identity pluralism. Therefore, it has been promoting a mandatory national assimilation policy in the East Kurdistan region.

Such a policy naturally aroused the resistance of the Kurds. From the early 1920s to the late 1930s, the rebellion in East Kurdistan never stopped. At the same time, the Turkish government's policy towards the Kurds became more and more The more brutal it was, it even developed into a genocidal massacre.

The situation like this has only improved in the last two years, but in East Kurdistan, the status of the Kurds has not changed. The Turkish government still enforces martial law and military control in the region, and does not allow the locals to speak Kurdish. No transmission of Kurdish history is allowed.

To put it bluntly, the southeastern region of Turkey today, that is, the East Kurdistan region, is a powder keg that is more dangerous than the Balkans. It doesn’t even need sparks here. It only needs to raise the temperature by two degrees, and there will be a big explosion.

Victor always believed that, as a national security agency, as well as an external intelligence agency, the People's Commissariat of National Security must not follow the rules, let alone do things according to the orders of the superiors, just to complete the tasks arranged by the leaders, but not have their own. Positivity and initiative.

Comrade Stalin and Comrade Molotov, who represented the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, have clearly expressed the importance they attach to the post-war Turkey issue. Therefore, the People's Commissariat of State Security should take the corresponding work ahead to ensure that The presence of the Commission in Turkey and throughout the Middle East.

What's more, the Committee should be fully prepared that if Moscow wants "something happened" in Turkey, or somewhere in the Middle East, then at a specific time, in this specific place, the Committee will ensure that it is certain. "Something happens".

What is penetration? What is interference? What is subversion? These are different concepts and different strengths, but the same thing is that these activities should be run by the People's Commissariat of National Security.

Following this line of thinking, Viktor believes that it is necessary for the People's Commissariat of National Security from now on to cultivate a strength that favors Moscow among the Kurds, whether it is East Kurdistan in Turkey or Mosul in Iraq. At the junction of the four countries in the Middle East, and in the pan-Kurdish inhabited area, there needs to be forces with a stance leaning towards the alliance.

Also following this line of thinking, Victor believes that the activities of the People's Commissariat of National Security in Greece should not be restricted. The attitude of the alliance is one aspect, but the actions of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Commissariat are another aspect. There is conflict.

Yes, this line of thinking comes down to one point, that is, Victor believes that the work of the People's Commissariat for National Security should be more independent, it should be less restricted, and it should have more power.
