Struggle in Soviet Russia

"According to the latest information sent by the intelligence personnel from Rzeszow," Sophia said, "The Germans violated the agreement and released a bunch of Ukrainian nationalists, including Stepan Bandera. Now, there are signs that Stepan Bandera has secretly sneaked back to Rzeszow. The Ukrainian National Rebel Army under his leadership has already broken out infighting with the Ukrainian nationalist organization led by Andrei Melnik..."

Saying this, she handed the documents in her hand to Victor: "It seems that Melnik’s organization is a little vulnerable. In the past half month, they have suffered heavy losses and hundreds of people have been assassinated. ."

Victor took the file and didn't look at it directly, but stared at Sophia's face for a while.

Sophia was a little pinched by him, raised her hand to touch her fair-skinned face, and said, "What's the matter, is there anything on my face?"

"How long have you not had a good rest?" Victor raised his finger to her eyes and said, "Look, the dark circles are too obvious."

"Oh?" Sophia rubbed her eyes subconsciously, shook her head and smiled, "I'm nothing, but I just took over the current job, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

What she is talking about is the fact that for the past few years, she has been in charge of underground intelligence work in Lviv. Although the nature of work at that time was not much different from that of work now, the way of work was completely different. After turning underground to the ground and working publicly, she has not adjusted it yet.

"Pay more attention to rest. Work will never be finished." Victor didn't persuade her much, but simply said, then took the file to his desk and looked through it carefully.

If it is in the Ukrainian area, the Ukrainian area here refers to the Western Ukraine area, including the area once controlled by Poland and the area controlled by the Soviet Union. In this vast area, if anyone is the most famous among the national separatist forces, then two names will definitely be mentioned, namely: Stepan Bandera and Andrei Melnik.

Among these two people, Andrei Melnik can be regarded as a moderate of Ukrainian nationalism. He advocates the realization of the independence of the Ukrainian Republic through petitions and international intervention. Stepan Bandera is a radical of Ukrainian nationalism, or an extreme rightist. He advocates violent revolution to achieve the independence of the Republic of Ukraine.

When Poland occupied Western Ukraine, Stepan Bandera was the mastermind behind a series of terrorist attacks, including the assassination of the Polish Minister of the Interior in 1934. It was since then that this guy was killed The Polish government was locked up and sentenced to life imprisonment.

And this time, when the whole of Western Ukraine has been put under the Soviet Union, the Germans released this guy from the prison, and regardless of whether he escaped from prison or not, at least the Germans had bad intentions. of.

Rzeszow is Poland. It is now called the German-controlled Governor’s District. It is a city next to Lviv. Stepan Bandera ran to this city, certainly not to find a place to live in seclusion. If nothing else, he It must be planning a series of sabotage activities against the Soviet Union.

Rubbing his sideburns, Victor has a headache. Dealing with people like Stepan Bandera is completely different from dealing with ordinary anti-Soviet guerrillas. This is not only because these Ukrainian nationalist radicals are more crazy, but also because They know how to hide and how to fight.

Maybe, um, maybe the attack on the salt field was planned by these guys.

Thinking of the Drohobeck saltworks attack, Victor raised his head, glanced at Sophia, and asked, "Are there any developments in the Drohobeck saltworks attack? How did those guys lose their documents?"

"Kubkin is in charge of this case," Sophia was sitting on the other side of Victor's desk. She was playing with a doll decoration on the table. After hearing this, she replied a little lazily, "However, I advise you. Don't have too much hope for him, he is not very good at everything except using muscles."

Kubukin Andreevich Isklov, the guy who was in charge of guerrilla work in the Lviv area, but after the liberation of Lviv, he also joined the People’s Committee of the Interior, and is still in Responsible for the relevant work of the Border Guard, the Civil Police General Bureau and the Criminal Investigation Bureau. In addition, he is also responsible for the work of the prison.

Without a word of nonsense, Victor directly took the phone on the desk and sent a call to Kubujin, informing the guy to come to his office immediately and report on the progress of the salt field attack.

"Do you think the Drohobeck saltworks attack has something to do with Stepan Bandera's people?" Sophia asked curiously when Victor hung up the phone.

"It's just a guess," Victor said, resting his cheek with one hand and gently stroking his chin with his fingers, "but can you deny the possibility?"

Sophia nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, there is a possibility in it, and the possibility is very high.

Culkin came quickly. When he entered Victor's office, he didn't even knock on the door, so he just broke in with a document. People like him who are careless and who have just turned from the dark from the underground front to the dark can easily overlook the most critical part of office politics.

"Sophia, I haven't seen you for two days. Are you okay?" He took the file and went straight to Victor's desk. When he walked to Sophia's side, the guy with the same rough body as the brain said with a loud voice. .

After speaking, he didn't wait for Sophia to answer, and threw the file in his hand in front of Victor, and said: "I have interrogated the six guys and investigated their background in detail. Guess what?"

As he spoke, he lifted his left leg and sat down on Victor's desk and said carelessly.

Victor didn't mind this guy's rudeness. He put the file in front of him, took a pack of cigarettes and threw it into Culkin's arms, then said, "Just tell me the result, I'm not interested in guessing."

"Hey," Culkin drew a cigarette, lit it, smiled contentedly, and said, "These guys all lied, and the statements they had previously told about how to lose their documents were all lies. "

"Oh?" Victor lifted his spirits, and cast his gaze on Culkin's body.

"Hey, these guys don't know, I'm not so easy to be fooled by Culkin," Culkin took a puff of cigarette with blue smoke in his nostrils, and said, "I just give them a little color, they Just said everything."

The so-called giving some color is definitely to be sentenced, and this is not surprising.

"Culkin, don't go in circles anymore," Sophia said impatiently on the side, "hurry up and clarify what you got."

"The documents of these guys were all lost when they were looking for women," Culkin finally said the result, "Well, they were lost when they hired prostitutes, because this kind of thing is illegal, even if it's legal, say it. It’s not nice, so they conceal the truth."

Victor's heart moved, and the two prostitutes he had seen in Nikolaev came to mind.

"Since they knew that the ID was probably stolen by a prostitute, why didn't they try to come back?" Sophia asked curiously.

"Of course someone worked hard," Culkin said, "but according to them, when they noticed the loss of their documents and went back to look for them, the women had disappeared and never saw them again."

Victor glanced at the opposite Sophia, and a thoughtful expression appeared on the other's face. Obviously, she had also noticed that it was not that simple behind this matter.

"I think about it," Culkin continued on his own. "These prostitutes must be organized. Behind them is a large-scale anti-Soviet gang. The order to steal documents should be from them. It was ordered by the organization behind it, so after someone successfully stolen the ID, the prostitute who took the shot was also hidden."

Sophia nodded, but then said: "I agree with the first half of your guess, but I think this anti-Soviet group should not be the organization behind these prostitutes."

"Oh?" Culkin snorted suspiciously.

"Behind these prostitutes is probably just a gang organization," Sophia said. "They do this only because they collect money. In other words, someone hires them. After all, this kind of employment relationship is more secure. Even if someone notices it, there is enough time to arrange an evacuation and disappear."

Relatively speaking, Victor clearly agrees with Sophia's inference.

"What should I do?" Culkin seemed to agree with Sophia's speculation. He blinked and said, "I am ready to arrange for someone to take action, but according to your statement, wouldn't we not be able to catch those damned ones? The guy?"

"No, on the contrary, I think the guys who launched the attack will not easily cut off contact with the gang," Victor reached out and picked up the phone, shaking the handle of the phone, and said with a serious face, "After all, the gang can help them. It’s not just this."

"I'm Victor Viktorovich," the phone connected, and Victor said directly to the person on the other side. "Now, immediately send information about all the gangs and organized crime groups in Lviv. I need the most detailed information. ."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the answer from the other party, and then said to Culkin: “Let your people not take any action first. We need to make a detailed plan. Maybe this time we can. Caught a big fish or two."
