Struggle in Soviet Russia

"Ring bell bell..."

Victor was woken up from his sleep by the harsh phone ringing, his body swayed, and his eyes suddenly opened. In the blurred vision, his narrow office in the Kremlin still appeared.

It may be that the sitting position is wrong, or that he has been in one position for too long. Victor, who has just woken up, feels some unbearable pain in his back.

The phone on the table was still ringing, as if he would not stop until he picked up the receiver.

Frowning his brows tightly, Victor adjusted his sitting posture, and then reached out and rubbed his hairy face vigorously. Then he stared at a few phones on the table and found the one that was ringing non-stop. The slightly trembling handset was brought over.

The call came from the Central International Department. Victor didn't go to work there today, and there was an important document that he needed to review, so this call came.

Victor looked at his watch. It was nearly ten o'clock in the morning. He leaned on the chair and started taking a nap at half past eight. He has only slept for less than an hour and a half in total. Time and energy will definitely not recover, no wonder the eyes feel swollen and sore.

Although he couldn't rest, he still had to do his work. Victor hesitated for a while with the receiver, and finally notified the phone to send the documents to the Kremlin. He probably couldn't do without here all day today. If nothing else, the emergency meeting in Comrade Stalin's office should not be over yet, who knows what will be waiting for him later.

It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When there are more such words, it is actually used as a joke, but in fact, in a person's career, this sentence is very appropriate. The kind of person who always complains that he has too many things, is too busy with his work, always tries to push his work to others, and tries his best to be free. Often he will not go far in his career. From a certain point of view, this is also political. kind of fairness.

Just like Victor, he is very busy at work now, and staying up late has become a basic exercise. On the contrary, his work experience in all aspects has grown rapidly, and the more he understands all aspects of the alliance. More and more comprehensive, and these are the capital for him to be promoted and promoted. Ordinary people have no chance to work like him.

Hanging up the phone, Victor stood up from the chair with some difficulty, and sat in one position for too long. His legs were numb, and the position of the lumbar spine was in severe pain. I don't know if it was a sign of lumbar muscle strain. .....

He went to the bathroom to wash his face and made himself a cup of coffee. After that, he walked around the narrow office a few times and moved his body. After about ten minutes, he left his office and walked slowly. On to the front platform of the office building.

Today's weather is not very good, the sky is covered with a thick layer of thick clouds - this spring seems to be a rainy season.

When Victor came out of the office building, in addition to the guards with live ammunition, there was a middle-aged man in a general's uniform on the platform in front of the building. He was standing on the right edge of the platform smoking a cigarette, his eyes looking Directions to the parking lot in front of the building.

Victor touched his pocket, wanting to get himself a cigarette too, but unfortunately, when he came out of the office, he didn't think about taking the cigarette with him, and his pocket was empty.

It seems that he heard the footsteps behind him, the middle-aged man with a cigarette turned his head and glanced at Victor, then smiled, raised his hand holding the cigarette, waved at him, and greeted: "Morning All right, Victor."

"Good morning, Nikolai," Victor nodded at the other party, then walked straight over, stood side by side with the other party, glanced in the direction of the parking lot, and said, "It seems that Comrade Stalin has not cared about it yet. Take a rest."

At this time, the parking lot was full of cars. Because there were too many vehicles, several military jeeps were parked outside the parking lot. Near the guardrail at the edge of the parking lot, a dozen drivers or secretaries People of this kind are standing there chatting in twos and threes.

The middle-aged man known as "Nikola" nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Victor, and said, "I heard that there was another war in the Far East, not only did the Politburo before. Our comrades are here, as are people from the General Staff and the Army and Navy Headquarters."

The middle-aged man is Nikolai Sidorovich Vlasik, the head of Comrade Stalin's guard force and the current head of the Kremlin guard force. Comrade Stalin's main personal security work is all done by him. Responsible.

Without being polite to the other party, Victor took the cigarette directly, asked the other party for a match, and lit a cigarette for himself. Then he took a deep breath and exhaled light blue smoke while saying: "It's not so bad for the time being. The last is a war, just a military friction, but the nature of the conflict is very bad, it may affect the stability of the Far East, of course, the most important thing is that the conflict may expand at any time."

Comrade Vlasik was a very good security guard, loyal and loyal. At a critical moment, he could even use his own body to block the incoming bullets for Comrade Stalin. This point, in 1931 When Comrade Stalin inspected the city of Gagra by boat in 2010, it was confirmed that Comrade Vlasik stood in front of the bullets fired from the shore.

Moreover, General Vlasik is not only responsible for the personal security of Comrade Stalin, but also for the security of his family. As far as Victor knows, this comrade guard has a very good relationship with Comrade Stalin's son, but he has a bad relationship with the leader's daughter. It is said that It was because the other party hated him for being illiterate and rude in words and deeds.

All in all, Comrade Vlasic did a good job as a guard, he was much smarter than his predecessor Karl Viktorovich Baukel, who was executed in 1938. , the execution order signed by Comrade Beria himself.

After listening to Viktor's words, General Vlasic muttered something, and then said, "I heard..."

He had just said these words, and before he could say it all, he was interrupted by the sound of rapid footsteps behind him.

Victor turned around and glanced in the direction of the footsteps. He saw Comrade Vatutin, who was obviously fatter, was walking out of the office building quickly. He looked like he was in a hurry. Something important needs to be dealt with.

At the moment when Victor turned around, Vatutin obviously saw him too, the general comrade who should have died in Ukraine, smiled at Victor, and unconsciously slowed down.

"Good morning, Comrade Nikolai Fedorovich," said Viktor, who took the initiative to greet him.

"Good morning, Comrade Viktor Viktorovich," Vatutin greeted as he walked towards the two of them, "Good morning, Comrade Nikolai Sidorovich."

Vatutin is not a frequent visitor to the Kremlin, and because of his special status, General Vlasik is usually as far away from the relationship with the military generals as possible, so he and Vatutin are not familiar with each other.

In fact, Viktor and Vatutin are not familiar with each other, and the opportunities for them to deal with each other are also pitiful.

"How's the situation?" Victor asked tentatively as Vatutin approached, "Is there any latest news from the Far East?"

With a friendly smile at General Vlasik who handed over a cigarette, Vatutin took the cigarette and lit it and said, "What is the latest news? It's just a diplomatic case."

Afterwards, he briefly recounted the latest developments in the Korean Peninsula incident in the past hour or so.

Military powers like the Soviet Union and the United States, especially each other, have mastered the strategic weapon of nuclear bombs. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the two sides to enter a state of hot war from the beginning, similar to North Korea's Sanjuli. This kind of conflict is actually more of an accident. To be precise, the conflict in Sanju-ri has no direct connection with the Soviet Union and the United States. It was instigated by the People’s Committee of Sanju-ri and the local South Korean police. of.

After the conflict broke out in Sanjuli, the garrison headquarters of the alliance in North Korea took the lead in ordering the garrison to enter a state of alert. The military warehouses in Pyongyang, Machangli, Jinsha and other places were all opened, and basic weapons were distributed to the troops at all levels. , as if the war with the US military is about to start in the next moment. The U.S. side, of course, also made a reciprocal military threat.

However, as far as the actual situation is concerned, both the Binhai Naval Area and the military government of the US military have issued a state of alert order and issued to the front-line troops that they are strictly forbidden to shoot the first shot, and it is strictly forbidden to miss the gun, and it is strictly forbidden to take the lead in provoking In order to prevent someone from taking the initiative to provocateur, the U.S. military even dispatched military police to the front line and controlled the South Korean police force near the 38th parallel.

War is not a matter of one sentence, let alone the fact that neither the Soviet Union nor the United States has any plans for a direct conflict on the Korean peninsula. Even if there is, the party trying to provoke a war needs to prepare for war in advance. A series of basic If the military deployment is not in place, no one dares to start a war hastily.

Therefore, in the past hour and a half, the troops stationed by the Soviet Union and the United States on the Korean peninsula have basically been doing the same thing, that is to conduct intelligence reconnaissance on the other party's control area to determine whether the other party has A wide range of deployment adjustments have been made. If the military deployment of the other side is in place, it means that the conflict was deliberately provoked by the other side, and our side must be ready for war. If the investigation results are opposite, it means that everything that happened in Sanjuli was an accident, and the problem can be solved through diplomatic means.
