Struggle in Soviet Russia

The night became heavier and heavier. When the sky was grayish blue, several cars drove in from the door of the embassy. Seeing the Union Jack on the front of the car, it was obviously a British delegation.

At this moment, Comrade Stalin was facing the direction of the pond. Opposite him was Victor who had been talking about for nearly half an hour.

It is estimated that the time for the start of the banquet was about to come. Victor saw Voroshilov, the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force Henry Harnold and Bos Klebeshev, talking while walking along the road by the pond towards this. Walk over.

Considering that what he was talking about was too sensitive, Victor stopped, turned his body slightly, and looked at the three Voroshilov who were walking by.

When he thought about it and saw his own hint, Comrade Stalin should temporarily end this conversation and let himself prepare a detailed report, or continue the discussion at another time.

Unexpectedly, Comrade Stalin took a look in the direction he was facing. After seeing the three of Voroshilov, he directly raised his hand and used **** to move in the direction where the three came from. Pointed.

As his great secret, Poskrebeshev was very thoughtful and immediately understood Comrade Stalin’s meaning. He stretched out his hand to hold Voroshilov’s arm and stopped him in place, and Hannold as a Americans, it is natural not to get together here alone.

Seeing that the three people who were approaching stopped, Victor could only continue to talk about the topic just now, but in order to save time, he still omitted a lot of content.

Of course, at this time, Victor's heart was also a little bit happy. Obviously, Comrade Stalin was very interested in these points of view he expounded. Otherwise, he would not make such a somewhat impolite behavior.

"Victor, your idea is very good," Comrade Stalin also seemed to have heard Victor's absent-mindedness. Of course, he also knew that it is not the time to continue the discussion. "But I still hope you can consider these ideas more deeply. Be more specific."

He paused. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "I will give you three days. After three days, you will return to Moscow with me. In three days, I hope you will sort out these ideas and write them. A detailed report. On the return train, talk to me about this issue."

"Yes, Comrade Stalin," Victor hurriedly agreed. For him, this was a rare opportunity.

Comrade Stalin took a deep look at him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just reached out and pressed Victor's shoulder, then turned to Voroshilov where they were. Go.

Not far away, when Voroshilov saw Comrade Stalin put a hand on Victor’s shoulder, the expression on his face was startled. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Poskerbyshev next to him, but Seeing that the other party turned around without moving, he avoided his sight.

Sometimes, a person's subconscious movements, or even a simple look, can show many problems. However, it is up to the observer to figure out what the problem is.

Seeing Comrade Stalin walking towards the Voroshilov trio, Victor stood there and did not move. Although he would also attend tonight's banquet, he obviously did not belong to Comrade Stalin's circle of them.

Moreover, as the chairman of the National Security People’s Committee, Victor, who has a special status, must also keep a low profile at such banquets, and keep a distance from the representatives of the British and American sides. Otherwise, if he is with someone from the United States and Britain. The politicians of the People's Republic of China have too much personal involvement, and it is very likely that they will run into trouble in the future.

Because of this caution, since arriving in Tehran, Victor has never privately met with any representatives of the United Kingdom and the United States.

This kind of performance made Victor's presence throughout the Tehran conference not very strong. When the Big Three took a photo in front of the main building this afternoon, he was also hiding in the corner with his head down, half of his face covered by the brim of the hat. Live, if you don't look carefully in the photos, you won't even be able to recognize him.

Of course, during the entire subsequent banquet, Victor also tried to hide himself in the corner as much as possible, trying not to attract the attention of others. Moreover, he did not pay much attention to the banquet. What he was thinking about in his mind was all about the report. Things.

Before the in-depth discussion with Comrade Stalin, Victor had written his idea in his notebook, but it was only a piece of material, and he wrote what he thought of, and the writing lacked logic. Of course, a formal report cannot be done that way, and it must be written in accordance with the formal rules of writing.

Comrade Stalin only gave him three days, and he had to sort out this report during these three days. Considering that the content of the report was too sensitive, he could not fake others and had to take full responsibility. Therefore, the time was very limited. urgent.

At this time, Victor may not have realized that the proposal he made to flatter and flatter Comrade Stalin would have a huge impact on the development of the Soviet Union and the evolution of the international situation. .

To some extent, when he put forward this suggestion in front of Comrade Stalin, the historical process of the entire world has changed. The Soviet Union, the huge red empire, is making a divergence on the bumpy road. As for whether this fork road is wide or narrow, whether it is full of crises or a smooth road, it is not yet known.

The Tehran Conference was an extremely significant meeting during the course of World War II. Its impact was not limited to this catastrophic global war, but also had a more profound impact on the post-war world structure.

To put it bluntly, the fate of many countries has been decided at this meeting, such as Finland, the Balkans, Poland, Germany, and so on.

Generally speaking, during the entire Tehran Conference, Comrade Stalin, as the leader of the Soviet Union, always had a tough attitude towards negotiations, whether it was dealing with Finland, Poland, or even the first. He did not make any concessions in the opening up of the Second World War, and this reality also proved one thing, that is, the Soviet Union occupies an absolute dominant position on the anti-fascist battlefield. Without this support, no matter how tough Comrade Stalin's attitude is, it is impossible to force the United Kingdom and the United States to make frequent concessions.

………………………………

Entering Tehran in mid-November, there was finally a slight chill, and a light rain last night made the autumn cold even worse.

At Tehran Railway Station, Victor got off his car and landed on both feet. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the platform. After seeing the new trains, he picked up the military cap in his hand and held it up. Wear it upright on the top of your head.

At this time, the platform was centered on the train, surrounded by people wearing blue National Security People’s Committee uniforms. These people belonged to the Political Security Bureau. The next job they have to do is to deal with this train. Do the final security check.

In two hours, Comrade Stalin will arrive here by car, and then take this train all the way back to Moscow.

In the past week, this train has been stopping on the platform. In order to ensure the safety of the special train, the Governor of Tehran on the Iranian side even sealed the entire station and set it up 15 kilometers away from the city. A temporary railway station has been established. Whether it is a train to Tehran or a train leaving Tehran, it stops at that temporary railway station.

This kind of labor and money move will naturally arouse people's dissatisfaction. However, the governor can't help it. He is just a puppet and has no power at all. Even if he does not issue such an order, the same move can still be bypassed. He implements it, the only difference is that he has given the order and can still be a puppet in the future, and if he refuses to give the order, there may be a car accident or something.

Subjugated slaves have no dignity at all.

Over the past week or so, the guards responsible for the station were an internal guard unit under the NKVD, and they were under the personal command of Abakumov. Despite their conscientious work, Victor still had to organize a comprehensive security check on the train before the train departed-not that he did not trust Abakumov, but that if he did not do so, Comrade Stalin would return. Don't trust him.

Stepping on the edge of the platform, Victor looked down at the shoes on his feet.

It was a pair of brown Japur-style boots, hand-stitched high-end products. They were New&Lingwood brand leather shoes from the United Kingdom. They were expensive. Victor cherished them very much. This is also the most expensive pair of shoes he owns. It can even be said to be The only luxury item he owns.

Victor cherishes it not because of its good style, not because of how expensive it is, but because this pair of shoes was given to him by Comrade Stalin. This is also the first gift he has received from Comrade Stalin. A gift.

Following the blind road on the platform, walking all the way to the side of the special train, Victor met dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him, took out a cigarette from the pocket of the windbreaker without hesitation, lit one, and then moved towards one. The captain waved his hand.

To be honest, today's Victor is really a bit complacent. Don't underestimate this kind of security check work. In the past, similar work was definitely done by Comrade Poskrebeshev himself. Because there is a special carriage for Comrade Stalin in the car, if Comrade Poskrebeshev does not come, no one can get in.

But today, this work belongs to him, and this also reflects Comrade Stalin's trust in him from one aspect.
