Struggle in Soviet Russia

Information research work has always been a complex intellectual work. It is a creative work that requires analysis, induction, summarization, and judgment, and the comprehensive use of many research methods and strategies. For an intelligence worker, one of the most basic qualities he needs is the ability to learn and memorize, and the second place is the ability to analyze, judge, and have superior writing and ability. The ability to use language as you like.

As a rebirth of the Soviet Union during World War II, he did not know much about Soviet history. This is Victor’s weakness, but he was born in peaceful China, received a very practical education, and was engaged in civilian work. Therefore, his own quality is still very high. Compared with most of the intelligence personnel from the NKVD, he knows better what is called a profession.

It is also from a professional point of view that Victor is more aware of what should be done well and what should be done more in place in his role. Therefore, he has always attached great importance to the collection of intelligence information and tried his best. He may keep all the information he considers important in his head.

Of course, if it’s not for the base camp’s emphasis on intelligence work, if it’s not for the NKVD has been working hard to find performance, and for this, it will give the most support to the internal affairs representatives from all directions. If there is not a large number of radio stations, there is no potential for thousands of people. The personnel provided the corresponding information, and Victor couldn't do anything.

However, what is said in that sentence, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Even if some people get the same support, they may not be able to do anything. In the final analysis, Victor's sense of crisis in his heart is urging. Make him work hard.

Brother Timosin said that he would bring Victor over with his intelligence command center and assign it to the command of the Western Front. This is not a joke or a whim. He is serious and very serious.

As he himself said, if there is a person like Victor in the command, it is equivalent to an extra pair of eyes. These eyes seem to hang high in the sky and can observe the position of each unit of the front army at any time, even if it is In the event that a certain unit loses contact, the command can also determine its approximate location at the first time.

In fact, Pavlov died very wrongly. He did not understand the command, but the sudden attack by the Germans turned him into a blind man. He didn't know where his troops were and no one could command him. Even now, the loss of contact between the Soviet high-level command and the lower-level combat forces is also happening with high frequency.

Therefore, Timoshenko thinks he needs someone like Victor. Although he is unlikely to connect the broken connection quickly, as long as he knows the approximate location of the troop, even if he arranges for the signal to rush over, he should wait for the contact. Recovery is more reliable.

However, as Bulganin guessed, he sent an application to Moscow in accordance with Timoshenko's request, but it was rejected by Beria, a member of the People's Committee of National Defense, and Comrade Stalin did not directly express his position.

Comrade Stalin’s silence on this issue is not particularly incomprehensible, because he has always disliked the fact that the people of the NKVD are too close to military generals. In his view, this is a factor of instability.

Bulganin’s report was sent to Moscow, and Moscow would give back. This one round trip was nearly three days. During these three days, Victor stayed in the command of the Western Front. Every time Timoshenko called a combat meeting. , Will ask him to attend.

In several combat meetings, Victor was always able to give accurate answers to the questions raised by Timoshenko, including the approximate location of a certain unit, when and where the logistics transport convoy can reach, and even some situations behind enemy lines, etc. .

For a front commander like Timoshing, it is so easy to have such a person around him. He even thinks that Victor can be the deputy director of the front combat department-the director is not good, because the director There is also the formulation and improvement of combat plans.

It was precisely because it was so easy to use that, after Bulganin's application was rejected, Timoshenko personally typed the report again, listing various reasons, and asking the Supreme Command to carefully consider this issue.

Two consecutive reports were issued, but the Western Front Army command did not receive a definite answer from Moscow. The Supreme Command sent a person over to investigate the "feasibility" of this matter on the spot.

The person who came was Sergiyenko, that is, Vasily Timofeyevich Sergiyenko, a senior investigator of the NKVD, and a legend. His legend is that he has been running wildly on the road to death for half his life. When Yezhov headed the People's Committee of the Interior, he and Yezhov were against each other. When Beria commanded the People's Committee of the Interior, he smashed with Beria. As a result, from the era of Yezhov to the era of Beria, the number of people who were liquidated and executed by the NKVD is unknown, but he lived to the end of his life in the 1960s.

Sergiyenko came to the Western Front Command to investigate the "feasibility". He was here to see if anyone was doing a ghost. As an important member of the NKVD, did Victor have been with the military generals? Got a piece.

In fact, the NKVD does not monitor its members, but with the outbreak of the war, the death rate of front-line personnel is too high. Just like the sixty members that Victor originally selected, they are still alive with one hand. It can be counted. It is precisely because of this that today's NKVD does not supervise the representatives stationed in various directions. Just like Victor, he is basically a native emperor in the western upward internal affairs system.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Moscow could not wait to split the NKVD once again when the war had just reversed.

The sun is shining brightly, and the hot-scorching earth is steaming with misty moisture. Because of the high temperature, the branches and leaves of the birch trees show a dark green color, and the bottom of the leaves is white velvet and dejected.

On the Ugra River, Victor wore a pair of white shorts and walked up and down the river a few times before almost catching a big fish that secretly harassed him.

In recent days, the frontline war has eased. The German offensive seems to be a little weak. The main logistical supplies are struggling, and it has to be temporarily stopped and redeployed. This has also created a breathing space for the defending Soviet army, and everyone's nerves are tense. You can relax temporarily.

On the jungle clearing next to the river bank, from time to time there are cheering and cheering from the soldiers, and from time to time there are singing voices. It is the Belarusian Model Song and Dance Ensemble of the People’s Committee of the Interior who came to give condolences. The Ministry also has its own song and dance troupe, and there is more than one. The Red Army song and dance troupe of the three major national treasures of the Soviet Union was formed by combining these singing and dancing troupes with exemplary titles.

Feeling the fatigue of his body, Victor swam slowly to the shore, Varenka hurried over, reached out and pulled him up into the river, and then handed him a long white towel.

Taking a deep breath, Victor walked up the embankment with his bare feet and hid under a lush tree. Although it was late August, the weather was extremely hot and unbearable, only to escape the coolness of the river water, and the feeling of heat on the body again.

Varenka got a small table made of wood nails, and gave him a bottle of water, two roasted potatoes, and a small dish of sugar—as the war continued, the alliance’s logistics supplies also had problems. Especially the supply of basic necessities. Nowadays, even the mid-level generals of the NKVD like Victor do not have much preferential treatment anymore. Red sausage and fresh fruit are gone, and even sparkling water can't even be drunk.

After taking a sip of water, but not touching the two potatoes, Victor lit a cigarette, took the document handed over by Varenka, and was about to look through it when he heard Varenka say: "Lieutenant Olika, Are you coming to swim too?"

Victor raised his head and looked over the embankment.

On the river embankment, Orika, dressed in cool, was walking towards this side with a towel. She also had bare feet. Two amazingly long thighs were round and strong, and her bronzed skin was slightly faint under the sunlight. Shining.

The woman on the front line obviously does not have a swimsuit, so Olica only wore a pair of brown-green shorts and a white cloth wrapped around her full chest. In order to prevent the cloth from falling off, she had to There is always one hand covering it.

"Valenka, don't you like to join in the fun? Why didn't you go to the show?" Olica walked down the river bank and smiled at Varenka.

"Hey, Comrade Major doesn't like noise, so..." Varenka scratched her head and smiled.

"I just said I don't like noise, and I didn't tell you not to watch it," Victor scolded with a smile. "What are you pretending to be wronged here?"

Varenka looked at Olica who was about to walk closer, and said, "Then I can go?"

This guy is getting more and more winking now, and the orderly cadet period is about to finish.

Victor ignored him, but just waved his hand holding the cigarette, meaning he could get out.

Watching Varenka's figure walk away, Victor turned his gaze to the surface of the river. There, Olica had already walked into the water. She walked until the surface of the water was as deep as her chest, and released her hand on her chest. Take the white tangled cloth out of the water, twist it into one, and wrap it around the hair. With a startling glance, Victor saw two rounds of water on her chest.

In the past, Victor felt that Olica had a hostile spirit, although she could hide it, but she could always detect it. However, after returning from this trip to Moscow, the hostility seemed to dissipate. Victor considered that it was probably related to her three-tier promotion.
