Struggle in Soviet Russia

The bumps for more than half a month made Victor feel a kind of fatigue that seeped from his bones. He sat on an edge under the porch and looked at the table lamp placed on the table today. Material.

Security work is not that difficult to implement. The key is that it is very cumbersome, especially in mountainous areas like Kazbek. Victor needs to consider where to set up security points and how many people should be arranged at the security points to achieve energy efficiency. Effective radiation is implemented in the hilly area.

The security guards that appear in film and television works are often lined up along the railway line, and a person is arranged at a distance of several meters, but that is only in the film and television works. In reality, if the security work is arranged in this way, it is estimated that Victor Comrade Stalin would be caught directly and shot.

The map spread out on the table was the morning map, and Victor compared it to this map and made notes in his little notebook.

"boom!"

The clear roar from somewhere shattered the tranquility of the lake.

Victor's thoughts were interrupted, and he frowned, stopped his movements, and turned his head to look towards the lake.

"boom……"

The clear roar didn't stop, instead it connected with a loud sound, sounding like a continuous shelling.

Standing up from the chair, Victor walked down the corridor in front of the door, following the direction of the sound, looking towards the night sky to the east.

Looking through the treetops of the jungle, you can vaguely see the night sky in the east being infested with flashes of red light.

To the east is the direction of Tbilisi city, how can shelling happen there?

Victor didn't panic. After all, he was the man who had fought his life on the battlefield. He frowned, turned to look at a guard not far away, and said, "Go and ask, what happened to this shelling."

"Yes!" The guard responded, gave another military salute, turned and ran away quickly.

About five or six minutes later, the guard ran back and said to Victor: "Report, there has been news in the bureau that we won the final victory in the direction of Kursk. This is the border guards firing salutes to celebrate."

Victor nodded, saying nothing.

He was notified of this incident in the afternoon, knowing that the battle in the direction of Kursk had ended.

Just the day before yesterday, in Poneri on the Kursk northern line, the German 9th Army under the command of Model assembled the last 300 tanks and launched a dying struggle against the Soviet defense, but under the resolute defense of the Soviets , The German counterattack did not achieve any results, but lost more than 100 tanks.

By this morning, the German army on the front line of Kursk had completely retreated, and the Soviet army had completely grasped the military superiority of Kursk and its surrounding areas.

At present, Moscow is planning the next offensive plan. At the same time, starting tomorrow, it will summarize this battle. If nothing else, the main commanders of the four fronts of the Soviet army participating in the Kursk battle will Will return to Moscow in the next two days.

As the head of the intelligence department, Victor knows very well how important the victory of this battle is to the Alliance. If nothing else, after this battle, the Germans on the Eastern Front will no longer be able to launch the real possess. A threatening offense will be inevitable to shift to a comprehensive strategic defense.

Once the German forces were forced to switch to a defensive posture, the alliance had room for further maneuver on many things, including not only the attitude towards the Finns, but also the attitude towards the Romanians and the British and American allies.

Since the negotiations reached a deadlock in February, the diplomatic mediation between the Soviet Union and Finland has been at a standstill. If the outcome of the Battle of Stalingrad only caused anxiety in Helsinki, then the outcome of the Battle of Kursk is estimated. It will make Finns sleepless.

Under the influence of this strategic posture, if the Finns do not want to wait until the end of the war to be completely liquidated, so that their country and species will be subjugated, they will have to make greater concessions at the negotiating table.

Mannerheim may indeed be a tough soldier, but as a politician of military origin, he also has to consider more practical issues. Therefore, making more compromises with Moscow will be his only choice.

But for Moscow, no matter what the conditions are on the table or the statement made by the People’s Committee for Foreign Affairs, it will be Moscow if it controls Finland after the war, or at least establishes a pro-Soviet regime in Finland. The ultimate appeal. Therefore, at this time, foreign intelligence agencies must increase their activities in Finland.

It is not an easy task to establish a pro-Soviet regime in Finland. This is not only because of the long-standing hostility between the Soviet Union and Finland, but also because there is a kind of "Greater Finland" from top to bottom in Finland. "Ism" mood. This sentiment began to rise in the 1920s, and in the 1930s, it has permeated the entire Finnish society.

In Finland, this kind of thinking is very marketable. Even ordinary Finns think that the northwestern Soviet Union, including Karelia, all the way to Murmansk, should belong to Finland, and the natural resources there should belong to Finland. Obtained by Finland, and this will make Finland the largest country in Northern Europe.

In the 1920s, during the Soviet Civil War, the so-called Finnish Volunteers, supported by the Finnish Parliament, frequently attacked places such as White Karelia and Petsamo, which was the most direct manifestation of this sentiment.

Therefore, the outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war has its own more complicated background. It is obviously not appropriate for later generations to simply put the blame on the Soviet Union but sympathize with Finland.

With this kind of social background, in Victor's view, in order to form a pro-Soviet government in Finland, it is indeed facing many difficulties.

As for the Pasikivi currently supported by the People’s Committee for Foreign Affairs, although this guy is on the left side and seems to be leaning towards Moscow, Victor believes that this guy should just want to get Moscow more. As for the recognition of its political ambitions, its true political stance must be vague and even hate the alliance.

Considering this reality, Victor believes that Moscow should not sign any form of armistice agreement with Finland in the current situation, but should put this issue aside, and wait until the subsequent campaign organization to bring the German army to the front line of Leningrad. After the siege was completely shattered, we then considered how to deal with Finland’s problems.

Yes, in Victor’s view, the alliance should carry out the war against Finland to the end and eventually force it to surrender unconditionally, rather than allowing it to conditionally accept the armistice clause as it is now.

From a long-term perspective, whether Finland can be controlled is of great significance to the alliance’s influence projection in the Nordic region. If the alliance can effectively control Finland, and even incorporate it as a franchise republic into the big family of the Soviet Union, Then, in terms of geostrategy, Sweden, which has an ambiguous position, can be forced to adopt a policy that favors Moscow, which will even further affect the post-war political situation in Western Europe.

Compared to Finland, the situation in Romania is much simpler. Although there were conflicts between the Soviet Union and Romania before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the hatred of the Soviet Union among Romanians was not high. This was mainly due to Antonius. The high-pressure dictatorship of Scu and his "Iron Guards" in Romania, as well as his defiance of the Germans, has become the main contradiction in Romania.

As for now, the domestic situation in Romania has also seen obvious turbulence. In addition to the vigorous activities of the Romanian Communist Party, the struggle between Antonescu and Manuel has become increasingly acute. The confrontation between the two has been It has developed to a level of tit-for-tat, which has also greatly reduced the morale of the Romanian army.

In Victor's view, the Foreign Intelligence Agency should further strengthen its espionage activities in Romania for some time to come, with the goal of instigating a rebellion against Antonescu in Romania, thereby further deepening the political rift in Romania.

With the end of the three major battles in Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk, the strength of the German Wehrmacht fell sharply. Of course, they lost not only troops and weapons and equipment. The heaviest loss was also due to higher quality. The lack of veterans.

It is foreseeable that in the next war, the Germans will have to further rely on the army of the servant countries to maintain their basic military deployment on various fronts. Under this circumstance, the Foreign Intelligence Service will be established in Eastern European countries. The work of conflicts becomes very meaningful.

Don't think that there are no contradictions among the various servant countries of the Germans. On the contrary, the contradictions and conflicts between them are still very large. For example, the "little allies" formed between Romania, Croatia, and Slovakia have long regarded Hungary as their main imaginary enemy. Last year, the two sides became entangled. If it weren't for the restrictions of the Germans, the war would have been long since. Erupted.

To create conflicts between these servant countries, although there is no way for them to jump out and create the German opposition, but it can make them lack effective communication and cooperation between the Eastern Front. Under certain circumstances, it can even make Conflicts broke out between them.

All of this is very beneficial to the Soviet army's future operations.

Listening to the sound of the guns in the direction of Tbilisi city, Victor smoked a cigarette and returned to the secluded farmhouse, still sitting under the porch.

He temporarily put together his small notebooks, took a letterhead from the People's Committee of National Security, conceived for a few minutes, and began to draft a report on the letterhead. He prepared to form a report with his previous thoughts and submit it.

Without the report, how can it be shown to Comrade Stalin that he is always working hard.
