Struggle in Soviet Russia

"Let me guess, you must be wrong, my Lieutenant Victor," he took the letter and looked at it. Major Serov frowned and said sarcastically, "You gave me a list of farmer's market shopping. , But the question now is, where is the action plan I need?"

"I'm not ready yet, Major Ivan," Victor said pragmatically. "There are some key problems. I can't think of a solution."

Major Serov stopped talking. He looked down at what Victor had written. After a long time, he said, "Comrade Viktor Viktorovich, do you understand the role you need to play in this plan of action?"

"Of course, I need to be responsible for this plan," Victor said.

"Yes, you need to be responsible for this plan," Major Serov nodded and said, "and I need to be responsible for the action plan in three directions in West Ukraine. The part you are responsible for is just one of them. I don't need you to be here. The action plan tells me where you are going to find the **** manpower and how to prepare the more **** weapons and equipment. I only need you to submit the detailed action plan to me. As for whether this plan is feasible, I I will judge by myself. As for those details, I have already entrusted you to them, and there will be people who are responsible for the other two directions."

Speaking of this, he threw the thing that Victor had written over, smashed it into Victor's arms, and asked in a more serious tone: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I see, Comrade Ivan Alexandrovich," Victor said loudly, standing upright.

Of course he understood. The other party had already said so clearly. If he still didn't understand, it would be really stupid.

"Now that I understand it, get out of my room immediately," Major Serov said in disgust. "There are still four hours before dawn. I hope you can hand in the detailed plan at dawn. Give me."

"Yes!" Victor replied loudly with a military salute.

Major Serov is right. When a good cook is cooking a good table, there is no need to think about where the exquisite ingredients come from. Of course, let alone the question of **** pigs and **** chickens. Things others need to consider.

The same principle applies to him. The task assigned to him by Major Serov was just to formulate a plan of action of the Lviv Plan. As for how to arrange manpower and how to transport weapons and equipment, he did not need to consider at all. What is feasibility? The so-called feasibility is whether his plan can be implemented after Major Serov has used resources. If Viktor's plan calls for sending an additional 100,000 latent troops to Lviv, then Major Serov will definitely not be able to do this, so this plan is not feasible.

On the contrary, if he only asked for the lurking of three to five thousand people, and Major Serov happened to control such resources, then the feasibility of the plan would be available. As for where these people came from, it was not a question that Victor needed to consider.

It can be seen from here that such a small plan of action not only examines the overall situation and meticulous thinking skills, but also contains hidden skills in communicating with leaders. If you want this action plan to be recognized by the leaders and, at the same time, the most convenient to implement, then the report maker must first try to figure out the leadership's abilities, and the requirements in the plan must be just right, so that the leaders will not feel it. It is not feasible, and the requirements are not so low that the plan will be difficult to implement.

Coming out of Major Serov’s office, Victor had a feeling of confidence. He returned to his room and used less than three hours to write a plan of action that he thought was relatively complete.

In this plan of his, in addition to guarding several key facilities, the most critical part is to mobilize forces before the start of the war to take the initiative to create chaos in the city of Lviv. In addition, it also includes the acquisition of profits. Plan of the Wolf City Police and Garrison. As for the arrests and executions of those on the list, Victor placed them in the most important position.

A dozen or so eloquent plans were worked out, and they took an hour to check again. Victor was able to work out this plan of action at the time set by Major Kaserov. For him, this plan was already the best. Now, with his ability, it is no longer possible to make further changes.

Washed his face with cold water to make himself look less tired. Victor sorted out the plan that he wrote. When he was about to smoke a cigarette, the door of the room was knocked, and Major Serov sent someone to urge him to turn in the plan. .

Different from the harsh attitude before, this time, Major Serov did not pick and choose when looking at the plan. Of course, he was not sarcasm. He patiently read the plan one by one. In the meantime, he frequently asked Victor. Asking questions, of course, also gave him a lot of suggestions.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that the discussion on the plan could be considered to have come to an end.

"Before coming to Ukraine, Comrade Lavrenti Pavlovich had specifically talked to me," Putting the proposal submitted by Viktor together and putting it in the drawer at hand, Major Serov turned the subject off and said, "It's like As he said, the situation in Ukraine is more complicated than anyone thought. There are not only a large number of speculators, smugglers, crooks, murderers, but also countless people who oppose the Soviet state. Someone reminded me, never Ignore the anger hidden in the crowd. Today, I feel deeply about this. I can even say responsibly that in Ukraine, especially in Western Ukraine, one out of every three families is hostile to us. As an experienced policeman at the grassroots level, I think at this point, you should also be deeply impressed."

Victor couldn't answer this, he could only keep silent.

"But, Lieutenant Viktor Viktorovich, now you must be mentally prepared, because the problems in Lviv will be more complicated than the Western Ukraine that you are familiar with," Major Serov continued. "You should imagine. Now, once we capture Lviv, the Polish guerrillas there will become more rampant. In addition, considering the complex ethnic composition there, you have to make preparations for ethnic migration. Your work pressure will be very high. I hope your nerves are thick enough to be able to cope with such pressure."

There was a surprised look on Victor's face. He wanted to say something, but finally resisted it.

What is Lviv? Although the city is still in the hands of the Poles, this does not prevent Victor from having a basic understanding of it. It is the capital of Lviv Oblast and one of the most important towns on the Su-Polish border. Sex even far exceeds that of Kovel and Ternopil.

And listening to Major Serov’s opinion, in the future he seems to be responsible for the work of the State Security Administration in Lviv. This...

"Yes, my Lieutenant Victor Viktorovich," Major Serov obviously saw his thoughts. He opened the drawer in the middle of the desk, took out a red enveloped document bag from it, and threw it directly to Victor. In front of him, he said, “The report I submitted to Moscow has been approved. You will be the head of the Lviv People’s Committee of the Interior. This is indeed a challenge for you, but on the bright side, at least ...At least you are already a lieutenant, and you can get a salary of 240 rubles a month. This should be something to celebrate, isn't it?"

"Why me?" Victor asked with a face full of surprise, "Ah, I mean, I..."

"On the question of why you," Major Serov interrupted him, "You can understand that, because there are too many fools of the People's Committee of the Interior, especially in Western Ukraine. I'm tired of those you don't give him. He doesn’t know what to do or what to do when he gives the order. And you are the less stupid one of these people, so I’m willing to let you try more."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, you have to remember one thing, that is, never become a fool in the follow-up work, because I will ignore other fools at best, but if they are You, because your stupidity made the situation in the direction of Lviv worse, I will shoot you personally. Believe me, my marksmanship is still good."

"But, Comrade Major Ivan Alexandrovich," Victor said hesitantly, "For me, the biggest problem now is also not knowing what to do."

"Go to the person who takes over you, take over the intelligence information you should know and master, and get acquainted with your team as soon as possible," Major Serov seemed a little tired. He waved his hand and said concisely, "Then carry out your task, um, according to Your plan, that's all... As for now, all you have to do is get out of here. I'm not interested in preparing a breakfast for you."

With a confused and numb scalp, Victor left Major Serov’s office. However, his doubts and worries soon disappeared, because the subsequent documents told him that he was not alone. The People's Committee has arranged a team that can support the framework in the direction of Lviv. What he needs to do now is to integrate the team and then run in as soon as possible.

Not only the entire team, but now he even has dedicated correspondents and dedicated guards. In order to enhance his work, the committee has specially equipped him with two radio stations. Of course, his current rank is no longer a second lieutenant, but Lieutenant of National Security.
