Struggle in Soviet Russia

Drive back to the National Security People’s Committee and back to his office. When Victor walked in, he saw Nino cleaning his desk.

"Has anyone been to the office before?" Victor asked casually, standing at the door, taking off his general uniform and hanging it on the hanger at the door.

"No," Nino walked over, stretched the hem of his shirt, and said with a smile, "Comrade Stalin is so anxious to call you over, is it okay?"

"It's okay," Victor smiled, put his hand around her slender waist, and took her into his arms. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, and said, "Comrade Stalin is more concerned about the situation in Ukraine, especially in Germany. People committed sabotage there, so I asked me to go over and ask about the situation."

"Well," Nino hugged her waist with his backhand, and hummed softly in his mouth.

"Did the Foreign Intelligence Service send the latest information?" Victor let go of her, and asked casually as he walked to his desk.

"It's here, it's on the table," Nino followed behind him, picked up a tray that had been packed up before, and said, "I'm going to pour you a glass of water, do you want something to eat?"

"No," Victor sat down at the desk, reached out and took a document on the right hand side, turned the title page casually, and glanced at Nino's back when he lowered his head.

Before, the list he made was placed a little farther away at the table. Since Nino said that no one had been here before, who did this list report to Comrade Stalin?

Of course, Victor didn't doubt Nino's meaning. This did not mean that he had absolute trust in his own woman. After all, a similar thing had happened before, and Victor was not confident enough to be arrogant. The reason why he didn't doubt Nino was because if the informant was Nino, the whole thing would be a bit unreasonable.

The only people who can get in and out of her office are Nino and Sofia. He asked Nino just now, and she said that no one had said before. So, if it was her call to Comrade Stalin, then she was deliberately exposing herself, which is not something a good lurking staff would do.

So, if the news is not leaked from his side, the remaining possibility is that someone on Voroshilov’s side has leaked the secret. The leaker knew that Voroshilov had contacted him and recommended someone. come over.

From this perspective, Comrade Stalin’s sternness before is probably not directed at himself, but at this cooperation between Voroshilov and Khrushchev: all intentions are obvious, this is A cooperation between Voroshilov and Khrushchev. The former is using his influence to help the latter to lay people in the People’s Committee for National Security. Although I don’t know what Voroshilov got from it, it’s certain. Yes, such cooperation is definitely not what Comrade Stalin hoped to see.

Therefore, the angry Comrade Stalin called Voroshilov directly, using a threatening personnel arrangement to give Voroshilov a wake-up call.

Of course, this kind of speculation is only a possibility, and Victor has no way to prove its authenticity. However, even if he has a way to prove it, he won’t do that, and even step back ten thousand steps, even if he can be sure. Nino was the one who betrayed him, and he would pretend to be ignorant of it.

At the beginning Serov arranged someone by his side. After he knew it, he could naturally distance himself from each other, but if Comrade Stalin arranged someone by his side, he would not be able to make any response. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

There was a slight sound of footsteps around him, and Victor put down the document that hadn't read a word in his hand, and looked up at him.

"Sofia went to Zelenograd, and may not be back at noon," Nino said, placing a glass of water beside him.

Zelenograd does not refer to the Zelenograd district. Today Zelenograd is just a geographical term. There are a large number of building materials companies in Moscow. More than ten years later, with the expansion and gradual prosperity of the region Only then did Moscow set up a town there.

Victor nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand, holding one of Nino's hand, and was about to pull her to his side when he heard the phone on the desk ring suddenly.

The sudden ringing of the phone caused Victor a headache. He turned his head to identify it, and then reached out and took the black phone and took off the receiver. This was an internal circuit of the People's Committee of National Security.

"Comrade Chairman, there is an important urgent secret call," a woman's voice came from the handset of the phone, with a clear and sweet voice. "The analysis team believes that it should be handed over to you as soon as possible."

"Come here," Victor nodded subconsciously, and then he realized that this was a call.

"Yes, Comrade Chairman," the woman on the phone answered, and then hung up.

"Intelligence Analysis Center?" Watching Victor hung up the phone, Nino asked in a low voice. It was obvious that she vaguely heard the voice on the phone.

"Well," Victor nodded, took the glass of water at hand, took a sip, then put down the glass and picked up the document on the table again.

Although he was promoted to the chairman of the People's Committee of National Security, Victor's main work has been on the Foreign Intelligence Agency. According to his request, the Intelligence Agency will send the latest intelligence to him every day for his review.

The document in Victor's hand was not an intelligence document, but a list of intelligence. The above listed various intelligence information for the entire day according to the number. Of course, it was only a rough content, similar to an index.

With the expansion of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Victor can receive more and more various kinds of information every day, and it can even be described as a massive amount. If he is asked to look at it one by one, he will do nothing every day. Time is not enough. Therefore, the important information sent to him has been processed by the intelligence analysis department, and the remaining part, which is relatively unimportant, only provides such an index file.

Seeing Victor start to look through the documents intently, Nino stopped disturbing him, but walked around behind him and gently massaged his shoulders.

People from the intelligence analysis department arrived quickly, but after ten minutes, the door of the office was knocked from outside.

Nino walked around behind Victor, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door for the visitor.

A woman who looked in her early thirties and was wearing a major's collar came in. She stood at the door and saluted Victor, then walked quickly over and placed a document on Victor's desk.

Victor took the document and looked at the seal on the envelope. He saw that the seal was intact. Then he took an origami knife, slashed the envelope, and took out a pile of odds and ends.

This pile of odds and ends includes eleven photos and a folded letterhead.

Victor took two photos first, frowned and looked at it.

The background in the first photo should be a coffee shop. In the middle of the lens, there are two young men, one man and one woman. The men have round faces and wear a dark brown suit, while the women wear a black strapless dress. The skirt, with long fluffy blonde hair.

As for the second photo, the background is a park. The two men and women are still in the center of the picture. The two are huddled in a row of chairs and kissing each other.

Victor didn't know the couple in the photo. He put the photo in his hand on the table, turning his head to look at the woman who sent the document while the folded letterhead.

"Comrade Chairman, this is the urgent information sent back from our intelligence station in Ottawa." The woman took off her military cap and exposed a sharp short hair. Her body stood straight, and her chest was high hidden by the military uniform. Towering, "The name of the person in the photo is Igor Sergeyevich Guchenko, who is a translator for the People’s Committee of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa’s embassy."

Hearing what the woman said, Victor's eyebrows rose instantly, and he had a bad feeling.

"After investigation by our intelligence station in Ottawa, this woman's name is Alanis Gibson," the major continued, "is an in-service member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and we have definite information to prove that this The woman is related to the investigation organization organized by Louis Saint Laurent."

Hearing what the woman said, Victor already understood what was going on. He did not speak, but unfolded the folded letterhead and scanned it carefully.

There is no anti-espionage agency in Canada today. It is unceremonious to say that the anti-espionage awareness of Canadians is even looser than that of the Americans. The main anti-espionage work is carried out by the Royal Mounted Police. s efficiency.

As for Louis Saint Laurent, he is the current Canadian Attorney General and one of Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s most trusted assistants. As far as Victor understands, this person seems to be promoting Canada’s counterintelligence work.

The letterhead is a handwritten summary of information. The general content is a detailed record of the exchanges between Guchenko and Elanis. According to this information, Guchenko has been in contact with Elanis for nearly two months. The relationship between the two has developed to the level of a couple.

Putting the letterhead aside, Victor read the photos from beginning to end again. Finally, he put the photos on the table, leaning back against the back of the chair, and kneading the sideburns with his hands, and said: "Anna, Tell me about this Guchenko situation."

The major’s name is Anna Grigorievna Kramarenko. She currently serves as the director of the North American Department of the Foreign Intelligence Service. She was promoted and selected by Victor. Before that, she was in Ukraine. Served in the NKVD.
