Struggle in Soviet Russia

Comrade Malinkov’s car quickly drove to the crowd, and the car came to a halt. Comrade Serov took the lead and opened the door for Comrade Malinkov, while Victor walked to the next car and took the place inside. Comrade Beria opened the car door.

"Georgi and I just went to the Kursky train station," Comrade Beria got out of the car, first took off the top hat, then stretched out his hand and said with a smile." He is very interested in the vodka distillery under construction there..."

"It's a beer and wine factory, Comrade Lavrenji," Comrade Malinkov heard this, and while shaking hands with Serov, he turned his head and corrected with a smile, "You should understand that whether it is beer or wine, it is all related to vodka. There are not many similarities."

Victor knows that near Kursky Railway Station is an area where Moscow's industrial enterprises are concentrated. The famous "Red October Candy Factory" is there. In addition, the Moscow Instrument Factory, which specializes in producing subway equipment for the alliance, And the Moscow Gas Plant, which supplies gas to all street lights in Moscow, is also nearby.

Some time ago, Comrade Voznesensky, who was in charge of the planning committee, submitted a report to the People’s Committee, hoping to invest a certain amount of money to establish a large enterprise specializing in beer and wine production in Moscow to make up for the Union’s domestic market. The shortage in this area.

This report was submitted, but it was not approved by Comrade Stalin. The reason could not be simpler. After all, it is now a war period and the alliance’s food is not very sufficient. How can there be such a leisurely mind to produce beer and wine? of.

But Comrade Voznesensky was obviously not that easy to be persuaded. He sorted out the report three times and submitted it to Comrade Stalin three times, eloquently stating that beer and wine, which seemed to be irrelevant to national strength. It plays an important role in restoring the national economy and boosting national morale.

In the end, his report was not only supported by Zhdanov, but also by a group of people, including Mikoyan and Malinkov. This allowed Stalin to persuade Comrade Stalin to implement the project.

As far as Victor knew, this beer and wine production plant under construction was the only non-military enterprise invested by the Soviet Union during World War II.

To be honest, in terms of national construction, there are still some great people in the current alliance. At least in Victor's opinion, Voznesensky is very good. At least this is an idea and dare to do things. people.

It is a pity that these cadres who came out of Leningrad have too much awareness of being a small group, and they always think that they are superior and look down on cadres elsewhere, which is annoying.

Facing Comrade Malinkov's correction, Beria didn't say anything, just smiled, not taking it seriously.

He and Malinkov’s concerns are different. Beria’s expertise is in national security work, but he just wants to do party work. Compared to him, Malinkov is obviously better at doing party work, but I just like to do some pragmatic work. Well, maybe this is the characteristic of being so lofty.

"Comrade Serov," did not continue to entangle with the brewery, Comrade Malinkov looked at Serov standing beside him with a solemn expression, and asked, "What do you personally disagree with regarding the transfer of this position? ?"

"No, Comrade Malinkov," Serov said with a smile. "As far as I am concerned, I am willing to obey the orders of the Secretariat. In addition, I know Comrade Victor. I think he is fully qualified to serve as the chairman of the National Security Committee. Duties, under his leadership, the work of the committee will inevitably have a brand new development."

Comrade Malinkov stared at him for a few seconds, his original serious expression gradually relaxed, and a smile reappeared on the chubby face.

"It's good for you to think so, I think, this is also the position of most people," Malinkov said with a smile when he reached out and patted Serov on the shoulder, "Well, is the meeting scheduled?"

Serov did not speak, but gave up his body to the side while making a please gesture.

The group walked into the building of the People's Committee of National Security, took the elevator in two groups, and went directly to the floor where the meeting place was.

At this time, the already arranged conference hall was full of people, all from the heads of various departments of the National Security People’s Committee. Although the hall was silent, everyone’s eyes flashed with inexplicable light.

For everyone here today, some people must be uneasy in their hearts, but there are certainly others who are cheering in their hearts-don’t think that in the People’s Committee of National Security, Victor alone is fighting, on the contrary, the external intelligence he leads The bureau can be regarded as the largest department in the entire committee department. Among the school-level officers present today, he personally promoted at least one-third of them.

Victor's greatest confidence in implementing the collective leadership system in the committee department also came from this. He didn't have to worry that someone would put his hand in the Foreign Intelligence Agency, and others would not be able to shake his basic board.

The rostrum of the venue has been set up. On the seats, Victor’s name badge is placed next to Beria, from his position to the right. The middle seat naturally belongs to Malinkov, and on Malinkov’s right hand side, It was Serov. As for Fitin and Eitingo, they sat on the outermost side.

As a rule, the first person to speak is Malinkov, who is in charge of the work of the cadre department. He directly announced the central personnel appointment decision, that is, immediately remove Comrade Serov from the post of chairman of the National Security People’s Committee. At the same time, he appointed Victor as The new chairman of the People's Committee of National Security.

The appointment process is very straightforward, and even the probationary stage is omitted. It reflects a problem from the side, that is, the central government’s trust and support for Victor, and he believes that he can manage the organization of the People’s Committee of National Security well. A huge vital department.

Then, the second speaker was Comrade Beria. As the national leader in charge of national security work, he first affirmed the work of the People’s Committee of National Security in the past period of time, and then he expressed his opinion. The expectation of the future work of the committee. Finally, he asked all members of the committee department to support the work of the new chairman of the committee department.

After that, the third speaker was Comrade Serov. He summarized the work of the People’s Committee of National Security in the past period of time. He put forward the achievements and the shortcomings. Unexpectedly, he was speaking. Finally, he proposed that he is planning to make adjustments to some personnel issues of the committee department, but he has not had time to implement it.

Listening to Comrade Serov’s speech in the last paragraph, Victor could only smile to himself inwardly.

The last paragraph of Comrade Serov's speech seems to be very large. Since he proposed that he is going to adjust some personnel issues of the Committee, then Victor will naturally take advantage of the trend to continue this work.

He can even take advantage of the period just after the establishment of the presidium to adjust some of the people under Feijing and Aitingo, thus completely evacuating the two.

But the problem is that Comrade Serov took the initiative to propose this personnel adjustment work, which seems to be handed over to Victor's hands, but because of this, it is not easy for Victor to do too much when he is doing personnel adjustment work. Now, unless he is really shameless, he doesn't care about being pricked in the spine.

Victor is not a shameless person after all. Even if he is not afraid of being pricked in the backbone, he still has to consider what the leaders above would think of him if he did that.

Therefore, when it was finally his turn to speak, he directly put forward the focus of work for a period of time in the future, which is to improve the presidium, and the work of the presidium members is still arranged in accordance with the guidelines set by Comrade Serov. As for personnel adjustments, the old rules will continue to be followed. Taking into account the work stability requirements of the committee, the related personnel adjustments will not be too big.

Such a speech can be regarded as a reassurance for the department-level officials who are here today, so that everyone will not panic because of this personnel change.

In this way, as the largest internal and external intelligence agency of the alliance, the People's Committee of National Security has successfully completed the handover of the old and new chairpersons, and all transitions have proceeded smoothly.

According to the Union’s practice, personnel adjustments of a certain part are usually announced in newspapers, but the National Security People’s Committee is an exception. The newspapers only add a short message to Victor as a member of the Central Committee, which does not address him. There is no relevant appointment and dismissal notice on the personal resume.

But for those who should know, they all know what this "Victor" does. At the same time, they also know that behind this seemingly inconspicuous short message indicates that a new political star is slowly rising within the alliance.

This political star is really "new" enough, and it can even be said to be "new" a bit dazzling. Nowadays, the number of Central Committee members in the whole league is quite large, one hundred to dozens, but in terms of age or the real power in his hands, this seemingly inconspicuous comrade "Victor" is The top class.

Because they are young, there are unlimited possibilities. No one can judge where this young man will go in the future, but one thing that can be judged is that this kind of person is best not to provoke them, even if they can’t be friends, at least. Don't be the enemy.

As for Victor himself, he has no time to think about the future. He has taken over the overall work of the National Security People’s Committee. He still has things that need to be busy.
