Struggle in Soviet Russia

After walking around on the yong road covered with dead leaves, Victor stopped on the edge of a row of chairs, watching the bleak woods that were changing day by day not far away, and what he had previously obtained from the Secretariat emerged in his mind. List.

In that list, the only person Victor saw with an impression was Sorge, and the name was not he came into contact with after rebirth, but learned from his previous life.

As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People's Committee of National Security, it is naturally impossible for Victor to know all the agents under his opponents. He can remember only those who have performed well and have established enough merits.

Sorge... how to put it, in Victor's previous life, this man seemed to be one of the best spies in history, but that was mainly because he lurked deep enough and provided enough valuable information.

Yes, he provides valuable information, but valuable information does not mean valuable intelligence. There is a difference between information and intelligence.

According to the work process of the intelligence agency, the intelligence sent back from various intelligence stations needs to be analyzed and counted by the intelligence analysis department, and then the part of it that is valuable and confirmed to be more credible is extracted. These extracted ones can be used. Call it "intelligence."

To put it bluntly, the person who is ultimately exposed to this information is the deciding makers of the value of intelligence. If the decision-maker does not believe in this information, even if it is accurate and very valuable, it is only a piece of valuable information. Not valuable information.

Just like Sorge, the information he obtained accurately judged the time of the German attack on the Soviet Union, but Moscow did not fully believe the information he provided. Therefore, the information he provided was not of much value in the final classification. Because what he provided did not have much impact on the whole situation.

From this point, we can also see the value of Victor.

As a traveler, he does not know much about the Soviet Union, but he has a sufficiently detailed understanding of certain things in the West, especially certain developments in the field of science and technology in the future.

Therefore, he knows which of the information provided by those intelligence stations is valuable intelligence and which is real intelligence, and this advantage in turn promotes the development of foreign intelligence work, which sets off his work achievements very conspicuously.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about penicillin. After several months of preparations, the drug has now achieved large-scale production in the alliance. Under the promotion of Comrade Malinkov, the alliance has established operations in Moscow, Ryazan, and Ekaty. Linna Fort and the Komsomolsk in the Far East have successively built four pharmaceutical factories.

So far, finished medicines are mainly supplied to the military and to soldiers on the front line. In the clinical demonstration of medicines conducted by the Moscow State Medical College, the reports given show the outstanding effects of such medicines.

Just imagine, who can say that such information is worthless? Or is its value not high enough?

In Victor’s view, the United States today seems to be a treasure trove of intelligence acquisition. On the one hand, it is because the United States has a lack of understanding of counter-espionage work, and the work done in this area is far from in place. On the other hand, it is because it is nowadays. The United States is in a period of new technology explosion, and all kinds of "black technologies" are emerging in an endless stream.

Under the attention of Victor and the operation of the North American Department of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, the agents of the Foreign Intelligence Agency in various public and private scientific research institutions and scientific research departments in the United States radiate like a spider web. Not to mention anything else, even the "OSRD", which is the United States. The deputy of the Director of the National Agency for Scientific Research and Development, Vannival Bush, was absorbed by the New York Intelligence Station. At present, the artificial synthesis project led by "OSRD" is also under the supervision of the New York Intelligence Station at all times.

In addition, since the Foreign Intelligence Agency began to infiltrate the United States on a large scale, Victor has asked the New York Intelligence Station to implement "key infiltration" of certain relevant personnel, including Major General Leslie Graves.

At first, many people in the Foreign Intelligence Agency did not understand the significance of these key penetrations, but now, their significance has finally emerged. Just last month, the "OSRD" of the United States determined the "Manhattan Project of the nationwide system", and Major General Leslie Graves was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the project.

So far, whether in terms of scale or the value of intelligence obtained, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People's Committee of National Security is definitely the most efficient, largest, and most infiltrating intelligence organization in the world. , And Victor is the creator of this organization.

Therefore, Comrade Stalin's trust in him is not without reason. This trust may be mixed with some personal emotional factors, but the most important thing is Victor's ability and his firm political position.

If you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat the grass. As the work director of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Victor can't just let his agents work for his life. He also has to let the intelligence personnel who are fighting on the front line understand a truth. That is, their contributions are not meaningless, and at certain critical moments, the Alliance will not give up them mercilessly.

That's right, Victor intends to win Comrade Stalin's approval and accept the request of the Japanese to exchange spies.

Standing by the bench for a while, Victor popped a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and was about to light one for himself when he heard the sound of a car motor not far away.

Taking a look in the direction of the sound, a gray Volga car was slowly driving towards this side along the road.

Seeing the license plate number in front of the car, Victor turned around again, took the cigarette into his mouth, and lighted it unhurriedly.

Volga drove to Victor's side and stopped slowly. As the door opened, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his early forties got out of the car.

The middle-aged man wore the same navy blue trench coat. The stars on the collar indicated that he was a major general. However, the black-rimmed glasses on his thin face made him look gentle, more like a professor than a major. General of the People's Committee of National Security.

Needless to say, the middle-aged man is indeed a professor. A week ago, he was the dean of the Kuibyshev Military Engineering Academy. Although he was a major general in engineering, he was mainly engaged in teaching.

To put it bluntly, this man is a technical general who can't fight in war, but he is an absolute expert in military industrial construction.

This person’s name is Boris Alexandrovich Olivitsky. He was included in the presidium list sent by Victor a week ago. This is also Victor’s selection according to his wishes according to the work needs of the National Security People’s Committee. One of the officers who came here.

Victor chose this person, on the one hand because the other party has expertise, on the other hand because he is also Polish.

What does it mean to be a Polish? Yes, this comrade Oliwiecki has a good relationship with Rokosowski. The two are not only fellows, but also good friends.

It is also because he is a Polish, so he is also excluded from the alliance's military system. Otherwise, as a major general of the engineer, even if it is a technical talent, it is impossible to go to the rear to teach during the war.

Now the presidium of the People’s Committee for National Security is basically sound. Under Victor’s leadership, presidium members come from all walks of life. Behind it is more or less related to certain factions, while Olivitzki has no background. One type is the type that Victor needs to be around him.

"Good morning, Comrade Victor," Olivitsky greeted Victor as he walked over from the car.

"Good morning, Comrade Boris," Victor turned around and shook hands with him. "Is the house settled?"

"It's settled," Olivitsky said with a smile. "However, Aonaya has a cold. Maybe it's not suitable for the Moscow climate."

"Oh, I hope she can recover as soon as possible," Victor nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Aonaya is Olivitzki's wife, um, a woman from Hungary.

"Thank you," Olivitzki took the cigarette over, held it in his mouth, and ignited the cigarette with a lighter that Victor had lit, and said, "Has the schedule been determined?"

Victor did not answer him directly, but nodded, and then said: "I will leave early tomorrow morning. I may not be able to attend the first plenary meeting of the presidium next."

Olivitzki took a breath, took another step, stood side by side with Victor, looked at the woods not far away, and said, "Are there any specific arrangements?"

"I have asked the Secretariat to draft a proposal," Victor said vaguely, smoking a cigarette. "We have made some arrangements for the specific division of labor among the members of the Bureau. However, the specific situation will have to be discussed at the meeting."

The presidium members are in place one after another, and it is always necessary to arrange some specific tasks for everyone. You can’t let some of them do not care about any specific tasks. Only one member of the presidium and the vice-chairman status will be too ugly. It seemed that Victor, the chairman, was too domineering.

"In your absence, is it appropriate for the presidium to discuss the division of labor?" Olivitsky asked with a frown.

Although he has been sitting on a cold bench, he is not without any political experience. On the contrary, those who stay in school all day have the most time to think about struggle.

It stands to reason that for the first plenary meeting of the presidium, Victor, the chairman of the committee, must attend, because he is the one who presides over the "cake sharing". If he is not present, then the one who will take over for him will preside over the meeting. It is Fitin who is the first vice chairman.

Oliwiecki's consideration was whether it was appropriate for Victor to put such a big deal in Fijing's hands.
