Struggle in Soviet Russia

In the early morning, a faint light of light came in from the corners of the heavy curtains, and some almost pale light beams spread on the foot of the bed, bringing a little bit of light to the dimly lit bedroom.

On the wooden carved bed, Victor, who was covered in sweat, closed his eyes and exhaled a suffocating breath. This made his body soft, a little weakly threw himself on the back of the girl in front of him, and the girl who had been kneeling there was hard. Shengsheng overwhelmed on the big bed.

"when!"

The big grandfather clock in the corner of the bedroom, after a period of rotating gears, suddenly made a single beep that was characteristic of the hour, and the sound was deep and heavy.

With his hands on both sides of the girl's body under him, Victor poked his head and kissed the girl's slender neck. Then, his lips moved down the girl's neck and moved against her spine to her sweat-stained waist. Until the girl shivered slightly, he finally stopped and got up from the bed.

Jumping out of the bed naked, Victor walked to the window in two steps, stretched out his hand to open the curtains, picked up a pack of cigarettes from a small table by the window, lit one for himself, and then faced through the window. Look outside.

The villa on the boulevard also belongs to Moscow municipal heating, and the thermal heating plant responsible for this area is not far away. Therefore, although it is already winter, the temperature in the villa is not low and warm.

It is also because the room temperature is high enough that there is no ice on the window glass. Through the glass, everything outside can be seen clearly.

Just now, the bell was struck at 7:30 punctuality, and it was very close to the time when the National Security People’s Committee went to work. At this time, the staff of the committee department passing by can already be seen on the boulevard.

Standing in front of the window, smoking half a cigarette, when Victor turned around again, he saw An Lina still crawling face down on the bed, her skin showing a tantalizing pale pink, which made people linger.

Restraining his inner impulse, Victor walked to the bed, held Anrina's shoulder with one hand, turned her over on the bed, and then covered her with a thin blanket, and lowered his head to kiss her lips. One side said: "I have to go to work, you lie down for a while, if you are hungry, you can let the staff here prepare breakfast, um, it is the old woman downstairs, her name is Zhuoma, she is very nice. "

Half of An Lina's face was hidden under the thin blanket, only a pair of light blue eyes were exposed, shiny.

Victor confessed some basic things before he got up and went to the bathroom. He took a shower at the fastest speed, put on a military uniform, and then went downstairs with his briefcase.

In the living room on the first floor, An Lina’s old mother was talking quietly with the service staff in front of the sofa. This humble old lady, at least in a short time, might not be able to adapt to the new life. As for An Lina’s younger sister, maybe Because he was still a child, he didn't have such complicated thoughts. He only knew that a person was running around and playing. Only when he saw Victor, would he calm down abruptly, showing a timid expression.

We greeted Anrina’s old mother and younger sister politely, and Victor left the villa in a happy mood. To him, today is like the beginning of a new life, even if it’s the cold air with a bit of freezing nose. It seems much fresher than before.

Outside the courtyard of the villa, the Volga sedan that Varenka drove was waiting outside, but Victor did not get in the car. He just gestured towards Varenka, and then followed the sidewalk on the side of the tree-lined road. , Walked all the way to the direction of the committee building.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?" Sophia, who walked in with a stack of documents in the office, smiled. She sent the documents to Victor and said with a chuckle, "I heard that the one named Anrina Girl found?"

Sophia knew of Anrina's existence. After all, she and Victor were already colleagues when they were in Lviv, and Anrina at that time was already a woman next to Victor. Later, at the beginning of the war, Victor was unable to leave Lviv in the first time, so he arranged for someone to transfer the Anrina family to the rear. At that time, Sophia was responsible for the arrangement.

It’s just unpredictable that Victor and Sofia were only inferior and inferior, and they were only low-level officers of the NKVD. Now that the situation has changed, the two are still in the superior-inferior relationship. Behind the first level of relationship, there are more complicated things mixed in.

"Yeah, I found it. Although I have suffered some hardship, I am still well," Victor threw his coat to Sophia, and he walked behind the desk and took a long breath while sitting on the chair. "You know, when I went to bed last night, I had a dream of what I was like when I was in Lviv..."

"Lviv?" There was a moment of confusion in Sophia's eyes. For her, that experience in Lviv was definitely not perfect, and her first lover...

"Yeah, Lviv," Victor seemed to have a lot of emotion, he sighed leisurely, and was about to say something, but saw a figure flashing at the door, and Nino's figure flashed into the office.

"What's wrong with Lviv?" Nino just came in from the outside, only listening to a tail, and didn't know what the two said before. She looked at each of them curiously, and asked, "Did I miss something important?"

"It's nothing, just recalling some of the life in Lviv." Victor obviously lost his interest in continuing to discuss this topic. He smiled, turned the topic off, and asked, "Why, what was important before? Is the call coming in?"

At this time, Nino is holding a phone record book in his hand. This is not for recording phone numbers, but for recording the callees. To be precise, it is to record the time and minutes, who has called and so on. .

"Yes," Nino didn't think much. She walked to the desk, put the phone record book in her hand in front of Victor, and said, "There was a call from the Kremlin at seven o'clock this morning. It was Persia. Comrade Klebeshev personally called and said that he asked you to come to Comrade Stalin's office for a meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Four o'clock?" Victor nodded, raised his arm subconsciously, and looked at the watch on his wrist. Since Comrade Poskrebeshev set the meeting time at four o'clock in the afternoon, it means that Comrade Stalin stayed up again last night.

According to Comrade Stalin’s work and rest habits, if he stayed up late, he would usually sleep for a whole day during the day. To be more specific, he would go to bed at 7 o’clock in the morning and wake up at 3 o’clock in the afternoon for a full eight hours of sleep.

And after waking up at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, he would take a shower, take a walk by the flowerbed in front of the office building, smoke a bag of cigarettes, and spend about half an hour before and after, wait until 4 o’clock to start processing Official.

It can be seen from this schedule that since this meeting is scheduled at four o'clock this afternoon, it shows that Comrade Stalin attaches great importance to this meeting, because this is the first official business he has dealt with after waking up this afternoon.

"In addition to the call from Comrade Poskrebeshev, at 7:30," Nino continued, "there is also a call from General Rokosovsky from the headquarters of the First Front of Belarus. ."

"Oh?" The call came as a surprise, and Victor froze for a while, then asked, "Comrade Rokosovsky's call? Did he say anything?"

"No, he only asked me if you would come to the office today," Nino said, "I said you will come, and he said he will call again later."

"I see," Victor nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Are there any other calls?"

"Nothing," Nino said, shaking his head. "The remaining calls are all handed over to the Secretariat."

Victor nodded. He didn't know what kind of issues Comrade Stalin was going to discuss at the meeting this afternoon, but since Comrade Poskrebeshev didn't mention it on the phone, then

He couldn't ask any more. However, considering recent practical problems, this afternoon meeting is mostly related to the implementation of the grassroots party committee system.

As for Rokosovsky, according to Victor’s guess, the general comrade called, it is likely that he needs to get the cooperation from the special communications battalion. In the course of the previous battle, this unit has already shown their ability.

As for more aspects, Victor really didn't think about it. He never thought that Comrade Rokosovsky would come close to him, and hope to get some form of support from him. This is not because Victor himself lacks self-confidence, but because he has just gained the trust of Comrade Stalin. The alliance with Marinkov and Beria has just been established. Therefore, he does not have an accurate understanding of his status. I don't know that among some generals and cadres like Rokosovsky who have been marginalized, he, the newly promoted member of the Central Committee, is actually a big man.

After a brief conversation with Nino and Sofia, Victor turned his attention to the documents that Sofia had brought before.

He lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, then took the top document and looked through it carefully.

Sophia brought yesterday’s intelligence index. In terms of importance, the first place was the summit of the three leaders of China, the United States and Britain. The meeting just ended in Cairo, which identified the Pacific battlefield and China. For a series of issues on the battlefield, although Moscow did not arrange for anyone to attend, it was very concerned about the content of the meeting.
