Struggle in Soviet Russia

Although it is the same model as Comrade Malinkov's car, the interior of Comrade Stalin's car is completely white, um, pure white.

This kind of pure white will actually cause a kind of visual disturbance to people, always being in such an environment, it will make people feel uncomfortable in the eyes, you can imagine being on the vast snowy field for a long time, almost the same reason.

However, Victor didn't dare to praise or criticize anything. He opened the door on the other side and sat in directly. In the car, Comrade Stalin was sitting on the other side, looking at him with a smile on his face, and when he saw him sitting in the car, he turned his head and looked in the front rearview mirror.

The car quickly started moving slowly, moving slowly toward the reserved passage.

"Before leaving Moscow, I got good news," said Comrade Stalin when the car got out of the passage.

When Victor heard him speak, he turned his head for the first time, looked at his smiling but still disturbing face, and made a look of listening attentively to what he said.

"Vatutin was attacked by Ukrainian nationalist guerrillas on the outskirts of Kiev," Comrade Stalin continued. "The injuries are serious."

Victor blinked and said secretly: Is this good news?

It was originally true. Although the conflicts between Comrade Stalin and those in the General Staff are becoming increasingly antagonistic, Vatutin, the commander of the Ukrainian First Front, was attacked and injured. How could Comrade Stalin say this is good news openly?

"If you put it in the past, he would probably..." Comrade Stalin continued, "Fortunately, we now have a special cure for infection, the kind of penicillin brought back by the Foreign Intelligence Agency. It saved Vatu. Jing's fate."

Only then did Victor understand what the real good news was, but he had a few more doubts, mainly because he didn't know whether Vatutin was rescued, whether it really made Comrade Stalin happy or made him unhappy.

"Now, I believe everyone needs to re-examine your original proposal." Comrade Stalin is unlikely to know what Victor was thinking. He went on to say, "It is indeed very necessary to make technology acquisition a key direction of the Foreign Intelligence Agency. of."

Victor nodded and did not speak. He believed that Comrade Stalin must have something to say next.

"In addition, I heard that Korolev's toys seem to have made breakthrough progress," Sure enough, Comrade Stalin said immediately afterwards, "Comrade Malinkov told me that this toy has epoch-making significance."

"That's it," said Victor Interface. "Comrade Korolev just succeeded in our experiment last Wednesday. No, it should be the world's first prototype of a ballistic rocket. This rocket can hold a four-point seven-weight warhead. According to the established orbit, it is transported to nearly 300 kilometers away. In theory, we can use this weapon to directly threaten the Ploiesti oil field in Romania on the existing front in Ukraine. Of course, because This is only the first test success, so the accuracy is still not satisfactory."

Victor has always been very concerned about rocket research and development projects. He can learn every progress made by the two laboratories at the first time. Therefore, Korolev’s success is actually better than Comrade Stalin’s. Earlier.

"4.7 tons?" Comrade Stalin frowned. Obviously, the information he got from Malinkov is limited. Of course, this is not to say that anyone is hiding anything from him, but because he has not developed the rocket himself. Insufficient attention to the project.

"Now, we can only take a small step in the field of ballistic rocket technology research and development." Seeing that he seemed not satisfied with this kind of data, Victor explained, "Now, what we can see is only this. The development prospects of this technology, the take-off weight of less than five tons, and the range of less than 300 kilometers, are only the achievements we can achieve now. In the future, the effect we need to achieve is to make the take-off weight of this rocket reach or exceed A hundred tons and a range of more than tens of thousands of kilometers."

Comrade Stalin seems to be imagining what such a weapon will look like in the future.

"According to the information we have, the Americans have now launched a national mobilization project, the'Manhattan Project', which aims to comprehensively promote the research and development of nuclear weapons projects," Victor turned a corner, explaining the importance of rocket technology projects from the side. Sex, "In this regard, because of the cooperation of the British, they seem to have come ahead of us. But from another perspective, they have obviously ignored the technical issues of the explosive nuclear delivery and used long-range aviation as a means of delivery. Obviously it was their only idea."

After a pause, Victor continued: "But there is no doubt that the bombing operations of long-range aviation forces will be limited by many factors. Our idea is different from this. Our idea is that one day in the future, Ballistic rockets can be used as effective delivery vehicles for nuclear explosions. In this way, we can launch long-range nuclear strikes on the enemy’s territory without having absolute air supremacy. Therefore, we combine ballistic rocket technology with nuclear weapons technology. It will enable us to take the absolute initiative in our strategy at the national level."

Comrade Stalin did not directly express his position. He was silent for a long time before asking: "Are you sure that such a concept can be realized?"

"In theory, it is completely achievable," Victor said without hesitation. "Moreover, we have obviously taken the first decisive step. Well, of course, I understand the technical aspects. It is also very limited. If you want to know more, I can arrange for relevant experts to draft a detailed report."

Comrade Stalin nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he obviously approved Victor's proposal.

"These things can be said later," he leaned back into the seat after a moment, and said, turning off the subject. "Now, let's talk about the situation in Tehran first."

Victor sorted out his thoughts. In the past few days, he arrived in Tehran. The series of actions and deployments made by the National Security People’s Committee were briefly described. Then, he talked about his relationship with Harriman and Gladwin ? The situation in contact with Jeb and others.

In fact, the fact that Comrade Stalin was able to ask about Tehran's situation on his own initiative is enough to show how he treats Victor differently. If he was replaced by someone else, he would not necessarily ask this question.

Just like Abakumov, he didn't do less work during his stay in Tehran. Why didn't Comrade Stalin ask him what he did?

That’s how things are. Whoever the leader finds to report on the work must be more important to whom, otherwise, even if you do more work, the leader doesn’t understand at all. What’s the difference between doing nothing and doing nothing? ?

The journey from Tehran Railway Station to the Embassy of the Soviet Union was not very far, less than half an hour. Just as Victor had just finished introducing the basic situation in the last few days, the convoy had already drove into the embassy compound.

As Victor said before, the four blocks surrounding the current Soviet embassy have all been blocked. The residents who originally lived nearby have been forcibly evacuated, and the internal guard unit of the NKVD brought by Abakumov is responsible for the implementation of the blockade.

Now, the entire embassy is like a military stronghold. Except for the white main building in the embassy, ​​all the remaining annex buildings have been temporarily converted into defensive firepower points, including the tops of single-story buildings such as warehouses and garages, and even Anti-aircraft gun positions were also installed.

The convoy drove directly to the entrance of the white main building. Victor got out of the car with Comrade Stalin, and waited until the two committee members, Molotov and Voroshilov, to catch up, then quietly retreated to the side.

The entire second floor of the main building has been emptied. Any of the 11 rooms that have been sorted out can be used as bedrooms. This is the habit of Comrade Stalin. He always doesn't like to rest in a fixed room, mainly because of lack of security.

Comrade Stalin came to Tehran along with an exclusive Kremlin guard. These people immediately took over the defense of the main building. After all, they were Comrade Stalin's most trusted guards.

Victor arranged for himself a room on the first floor. This room was next to the stairs. There was a small window on the side of the room, facing the stairs. It used to be a mail room. To put it bluntly, it was the place where the letters were distributed.

The reason why I left this room to myself is because Victor needs to keep an eye on who is going up and downstairs. This is... the out-of-the-ordinary flattering approach and the effect of showing attitude far outweighs the substantial security effect.

Just imagine, if someone really broke through the outer layers of blockade and rushed here, could Victor be able to stop the opponent alone? Obviously, he can't do anything.

Therefore, he lives in this place purely for Comrade Stalin, and it is not wrong to say that he is flattering or flattering.

But for Victor, he doesn't care what others think about this matter now. After all, the 10,000 ridicules of others are not as good as the one approved by Comrade Stalin. For those who are determined to pursue official careers, what is the face? ? Speaking of heart-wrenching words, in this world, people who want a face really can't do anything.

In addition, Victor also really cares about the safety of Comrade Stalin. In any case, he is also the security person in charge of Comrade Stalin’s trip. Once the leader has any accident in Tehran, he will have to take his own life. Get in, so if there is a choice, Victor would rather not hold this **** Tehran meeting.
