Struggle in Soviet Russia

In the information sent by the intelligence personnel, the most used words for the bombing were "hell", "disaster", "horror", etc., and the words to describe it mentioned the subsequent entry into the city The description given by the Soviet Army: This city is like a large barbecue stall, even in the suburbs of the city, you can smell the disgusting smell of barbecue.

In this bombing process, the British and American bomber formations had their own specific bombing procedures. In the first wave of bombing, they first dropped a large number of high-explosive bombs, blowing up a large number of buildings in the target area of ​​the city. Through the ruins, at the same time, in the process of collapse of these buildings, the internal wooden structure will be exposed.

Subsequently, in the second wave of bombing by the British and American bomber formations, a large number of incendiary bombs were put in. These massive incendiary bombs caused an unimaginable fire throughout the city. The fire formed a fire storm in the city. And eventually formed a "volcanic cloud" similar to the explosion of a nuclear bomb over the city.

The flame storm in the city is similar to a tornado. The high temperature at the core will **** the surrounding air and **** vehicles, gravel, and even living people into the fire field. Burned to ashes alone.

According to the German propaganda, Dresden is not a city rich in military value. It does not even have basic air defense capabilities. Not only that, on the day of the bombing, nearly 300,000 refugees from the east were evacuated. into the city, where the British and Americans slaughtered more than two hundred thousand civilians during the two-day bombardment.

Putting down the intelligence document in his hand, Victor took the document bag again, took out the stack of photos, endured the discomfort in his heart, and read the photos again from beginning to end. These photos are of certain value to the alliance, after the Red Army attacked a German ship, causing thousands of civilian casualties, and the media in the United Kingdom and the United States were chattering about it.

Now, the United Kingdom and the United States have dropped nearly 4,000 tons of bombs at a time in a city with little military value, causing nearly 200,000 civilian casualties. Isn’t this worthy of condemnation by the British and American media?

He weighed the stack of photos in his hand, Victor plans to hand them over to Comrade Zhdanov later, maybe the propaganda and agitation departments need to do some work on this, by the way, remind the British and the Americans that they are not They have high moral standards, on the contrary, their human ethics standards are very low.

Putting the document aside, along with the photo, Victor picked up the next document.

The next document is the intelligence from the London intelligence station, and the content described in it is closely related to the previous document.

According to this intelligence sent back from London, the news of the Dresden bombing has been passed back to London, and it has caused an uproar in the UK. As a rival of the Conservative Party, the Labour Party used the bombing as an excuse to attack Churchill. The leading cabinet has launched a blistering attack, all of which will have ramifications for future UK general elections.

Victor pursed his lips and smiled, and threw the document aside. The memory of his previous life told him that Churchill was about to lose his prime ministership. Therefore, the importance of this information was not that great.

Reaching out his hand, Victor touched the next document, but just as he was about to bring the document over, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and there seemed to be a very important memory fragment from his It jumped out from the depths of my mind, but disappeared in an instant.

Frowning his brows, Victor tried his best to find out this memory fragment, but he didn't have a clue.

Shifting his footsteps, Victor glanced out the window.

At this time, in the garden downstairs, Comrade Stalin and the others were nowhere to be seen. Victor looked at his watch. It was already half past twelve. It was estimated that they were going to lunch. According to the schedule, after lunch was over, Roosevelt and Churchill were leaving Yalta with their team.

Taking his eyes back from the window, Victor pondered for a while, but still failed to grasp the previous memory fragment.

Since he couldn't remember it, he simply put it aside. Victor reached out and took the last document. When he was about to open it, the memory fragment that he couldn't grasp before suddenly jumped out automatically. .

This time, Victor finally knew what he had suddenly thought of.

This flashy memory fragment comes from an unknown movie in a previous life. There is a fragment in which the Soviet army recovered the original collection from a collapsed tunnel after entering Dresden. There are 750 famous paintings in the Pinakothek in Resden, including famous paintings such as Jean-Étienne Liotard's "The Maid with a Hot Chocolate Drink".

Thinking of the hundreds of famous paintings in the Dresden Museum of Fine Arts, Victor's mind quickly flashed the name "Victor Barkin", also in the previous life, the Soviet The name is also very famous, and the reason for its fame is that this person took hundreds of Van Gogh's drawings in Bremen, Germany, including his famous painting "Starry Sky".

In the organizational discipline of the Soviet army, there were no strict regulations on the seizure of booty. Therefore, during the Soviet army's advance to Berlin, many vicious incidents of beating, smashing, and looting did occur. There is nothing to do with this. concealed or embellished.

Just like Victor Barkin, whose rank in the Soviet army was captain, he led his troops to find a place to hide these drawings in a remote castle in Bremen, but a large number of drawings were divided up by the Soviet soldiers at that time, Barkin took great pains to collect several hundred copies, which he brought back to the Soviet Union after the war.

The drawings remained in Barkin's hands for three years until they were later donated to the Soviet government by him.

Thinking of this, Viktor soon had a plan in his mind. He was going to set up a temporary department in the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People's Commissariat of National Security, which was specially designed to collect or collect or collect during the advance of the Soviet army to Berlin. Collect artworks like famous paintings, jewelry, and bring them back to the Alliance.

There are many kinds of wealth in this world, and antiques and works of art are undoubtedly one of them. Victor is interested in taking these works of art as his own, but one thing is certain, if this department can have a greater harvest , must be able to make Comrade Stalin happy.

With such thoughts running through his mind, Victor was thinking about who would be the most suitable person in charge of this temporary department when he heard the sound of small footsteps behind him.

He turned his head subconsciously, glanced in the direction of the footsteps, and was surprised to find Boskrebyshev, who was wearing a gray Lenin suit, walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Why did you hide here alone?" Seeing him turn around, Boskrebyshev nodded to him and asked with a smile.

"I just received a few documents, hurry up to deal with them," Victor said, holding up the documents in his hand, shaking it in front of him, "Why, the lunch below has already started?"

"Yeah," Boskrebyshev walked over and stood beside Viktor, then stretched out his hand and took out a pack of cigarettes, took one, and handed it to Viktor. Come to me, come up and find a place to smoke a cigarette."

Victor took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out the lighter first and lit the cigarette for the other party. Then he lit the cigarette for himself and said vaguely, "Have the arrangements for Comrade Stalin's return journey been made?"

"It's fixed," Boskrebyshev said, taking a deep breath of his cigarette and coughing. "If nothing else happens, we should board the train at nine o'clock in the evening."

"So late?" Victor asked in surprise. According to his previous guess, he should have boarded the car and set off at five or six o'clock at the latest.

Boskrebyshev didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. Obviously, Comrade Stalin decided the time to board the train. As the secret, he probably didn't know why it was so late. time.

"Perhaps Comrade Stalin wanted to take a good rest in the afternoon," Victor blinked and gave the leader a reason to say, "Well, I originally wanted to wait for the British and Americans to set off, and then I asked him to report the latest information, and now it seems that we can only postpone it for a while."

Victor's guess has a high probability that Comrade Stalin is a relatively insecure person. Once he changes places, it is not easy for him to fall asleep. Therefore, during the time he left Moscow for Yalta, he always Not very well rested. Now, the meeting that lasted for more than a week has finally ended, and he set the time to leave so late, probably because he wanted to take advantage of this free afternoon to take a good rest.

Boskrebyshev also agreed with Viktor. He glanced at the documents and asked, "Is there anything important?"

Victor took the documents he had read, handed them to the other party, and said: "The British and American allied forces have launched an unprecedented bombing in Dresden. I think their main purpose should be to give us a shock. Show us their biceps."

Poskrebyshev took the document and opened it to read it carefully.

While he was looking through the documents, Victor also opened the last document and looked at the contents.

This document was passed back by the New York intelligence station, and Victor couldn't help frowning after reading the beginning.
