Struggle in Soviet Russia

According to the information provided in the intelligence, after the breakthrough in the work of deciphering encrypted communications, the US military intelligence service submitted the report to President Roosevelt. According to the data provided in this report, from 1943 to the first day of this year Between the months, nearly 2,000 of the massive encrypted communications intercepted by the planning team have been deciphered.

Although the spy was hidden deep enough, it was impossible for him to obtain all the 2,000 pieces of information deciphered by the intelligence agencies. Therefore, the problem now is that the People's Commissariat of National Security has no way to know what intelligence information is there. Now that it has been leaked to the Americans, for intelligence work, the intelligence that is not understood is the most terrifying.

There is no doubt that this intelligence is very important, it involves the intelligence leakage of the alliance, and it is likely to involve a series of major issues.

Don't think that the intelligence leaked by the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs is only related to alliance diplomatic issues. On the contrary, as a special department, once the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs is leaked, all kinds of intelligence information may be leaked.

Take the People's Commissariat of National Security as an example, the intelligence stations of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in various parts of the world have a lot of information that is not very important, or that the level of secrecy is not too high. Embassies around the country to deliver. Therefore, if this information is leaked, the intelligence network of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People's Commissariat of National Security may be affected.

Obviously, the problems involved in this information cannot be solved by cadres of Victor's level. He must report to the top, especially to Comrade Stalin as soon as possible.

However, at this time, Victor was a little hesitant, because this matter involved the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs, which belonged to Comrade Molotov's territory, and at the same time, because of the leak, it also involved the dereliction of duty by the code staff of the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs. Molotov's behavior, as the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, is estimated to be affected to a certain extent. At least he needs to bear the responsibility of poor supervision.

Taking this into account, Viktor felt that he should have disclosed the content of this information to Comrade Molotov first, and let him prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by Comrade Stalin.

That's right, this matter is definitely not a trivial matter. Even for a big man like Comrade Molotov, if one responds improperly, his political life may be affected.

But from another point of view, as the chairman of the People's Commissariat of State Security, Viktor has no right to leak such important information to Comrade Molotov in private, because his work needs to be responsible to the Central Secretariat, and Molotov Comrade Lotov is neither a national leader like Comrade Stalin, nor is he the secretary of the Central Secretariat in charge of national security work. Victor disclosed such important information to Comrade Molotov without permission. It's already a leak in itself.

However, the rules are dead after all. At this time, Victor needs to consider interpersonal relationships in addition to work.

I don't know how long I stood in front of the window, but I smoked three cigarettes, and Victor closed the window again until his feet felt numb.

Walking back to the desk again, Victor looked at his watch, barely feeling the passage of time, and it was almost half past five.

After thinking about it, Victor walked back to the suite, put on a new military uniform, held the general's hat in his hand, and went straight out.

In the corridor outside the door, every nearly three meters away, there is a guard from the Political Security Bureau standing there. They are in charge of the security work of the entire building. Of course, the guard arrangement is only available on the first floor, not on the second floor. Well, after all, Comrade Stalin lived on the second floor.

Walking along the corridor to the hall on the first floor, Victor did not go upstairs directly, but left the hall.

He stood under the sheltered rain in front of the palace gate, looking at the heavy rain outside, still struggling with ideological struggles in his heart-although he had made up his mind to warn Comrade Molotov, he made a decision. This decision is still somewhat difficult for Victor, after all, it is also risky for him.

Just standing in front of the palace gate for a while, Victor pursed his lips, turned and walked towards the stairs.

Coincidentally, just as Victor was walking up the steps leading to the second floor, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs, and it was obvious that someone was going downstairs.

He looked up and saw that Comrade Molotov was walking down the stairs, the Comrade People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs was still wearing thick pajamas, and he didn't know what he was going to do downstairs.

Viktor stopped and waited for the other person to come down the stairs. He greeted him with a smile and said, "Good morning, Comrade Vyacheslav."

"Good morning, Viktor," Molotov obviously didn't look like he just got up. He was in good spirits. Hearing Viktor's greeting, he nodded and said with a smile, "Wake up so early?"

"Yeah," Victor smiled, and when Comrade Molotov passed by, he also turned around with him, walked side by side with him, and said casually, "Last night, there was an urgent order from Moscow. The top-secret information was delivered, so I got up before four o'clock."

"Oh?" Molotov is a shrewd person. He heard Victor say so in detail, and he knew there must be something. Therefore, he slowed down, turned his head, looked at Victor and said, "It's very important. information?"

"Yes," said Victor, nodding his head and slowing down as he followed.

"Need to report to Comrade Stalin?" Molotov said. "It's not yet six o'clock. Comrade Stalin didn't go to bed until nearly twelve o'clock last night. I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet."

"It is indeed necessary to report to Comrade Stalin," Victor nodded and said, "because this information involves a very serious leak."

When he said this, the two were just walking down the last step, and Victor glanced in the direction of his office and said, "Comrade Vyacheslav, if it is convenient, can you come to my office and sit for a while? "

Molotov didn't hesitate, he nodded and walked straight to Viktor's office.

Ten minutes later, in Victor's office, light blue smoke had covered the ceiling of the entire room, and there were four or five more cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk.

Beside the desk, Molotov leaned his **** against the edge of the desk, with a wide wrinkled face and a very serious expression.

Just as Victor thought, this leak will inevitably have a serious impact on Molotov.

You know, the current situation is not "friendly" for Molotov, within the current coalition, the political mainstream is somewhat ambiguous about the attitude of the Jewish people, in other words, those who take a hostile position against the Jews , which occupies the vast majority.

And Molotov has a very embarrassing weakness, that is, his wife is a Jew, and she is not a quiet Jew, and she doesn't know who gave her the confidence, so she always likes to rush to seek interests for the Jews Frontline. At the beginning, among those who demanded the establishment of an autonomous state for the Jews, there was this lady's voice. Now, among the advocates who demanded that the Crimea peninsula be handed over to the Jews, and that a Jewish republic should be established, she is also in the top few positions.

Just when Victor left Moscow this time and went to Budapest to supervise the war, Molotov's wife was still in Moscow, and those who stood in the same trench with her didn't seem to understand that Comrade Stalin confirmed the three-nation summit meeting. The location, why not choose Sochi, but Yalta in Crimea.

As far as Victor knew, it wasn't that no one persuaded Molotov to find a reason to divorce his restless wife, but this Comrade People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs didn't know what to think about it, and he never thought about it. This means of getting out of trouble.

For this, to be honest, Victor really admires the other party.

All in all, Molotov is already in trouble because of his wife's problems. What is certain is that his political opponents may be planning to trouble him. Now, if there is another serious leak of the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs, then Molotov's troubles will be more than just a lady's problem.

"Is the authenticity of this information guaranteed?" Comrade Molotov asked with a frown, squeezing the cigarette **** in his hand into the ashtray.

"I can't tell you the source of the information, but I can assure you that the authenticity of this information should be 100%," Victor replied without hesitation.

"So, what's your opinion?" Molotov asked without doubting his words, nodding his head.

"Right now, we're not sure how serious the leak is," Victor said after thinking for a while, "and we don't know what we're going to suffer for this, but in my opinion, whether it's the Americans or the British. , there should be no immediate action in the short term."

This is not difficult to understand. In the eyes of the British and American intelligence agencies at this time, Moscow should not know about the fact that they cracked the one-time code book of the diplomatic department of the alliance. Therefore, they still have the opportunity to obtain more intelligence through this. . On the contrary, once they take a large-scale action and cause certain losses to the alliance, then Moscow will definitely suspect that there has been a leak. At that time, the encryption method of communication is likely to change, so the results achieved by the joint intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom and the United States , it will be turned into nothing.
