Struggle in Soviet Russia

Intelligence work has always been boring and cumbersome, but for people who like this job, this job is extremely interesting. It is like analyzing each mystery, and in the process of analyzing these mysteries. In, there will be another sense of accomplishment that has spied on the privacy of the world.

Today Victor likes his job very much. As a rebirth, this job gives him a sense of accomplishment that touches the privacy of history. In the process of working, he can learn a lot of himself, even the vast majority of people. Historical facts that I don’t know.

As the situation in the Soviet-German battlefield reversed, not only did the National Security People’s Committee’s foreign intelligence work have not been idle, but more and more various aspects of the work were on the contrary, and more and more various kinds of intelligence were fed back every day.

As for Victor, his current focus on intelligence is still one aspect, that is, the progress of nuclear weapons research and development in countries other than the Soviet Union-this issue is not only his concern, Comrade Malinkov, and even Comrade Stalin, Always paying attention.

According to the information recently provided by the Department of North America, the American nuclear weapons research project has reached the final stage. Their research work in nuclear reactor construction, uranium isotope separation, and enriched uranium refining has been successful. Next, they What needs to be done is to build one or two nuclear bombs that can be used in actual combat.

According to the information provided by the Berlin Intelligence Station, the Germans have also made breakthrough progress in the development of nuclear weapons. A group of physicists, led by Dibner and Schumann, are considering the development of a quasi-nuclear weapon. According to the intelligence statement, what the Germans are working on is not a nuclear bomb in the strict sense. It is a so-called "dirty bomb" that spreads radioactive materials on a large scale by detonating the bomb and causes nuclear pollution.

Also based on the information provided by the intelligence agencies, in East Asia, the Japanese are also engaged in nuclear weapons research and development projects. They established a nuclear physics application research committee led by Nishina Yoshio, and since last year, it has been in China and North Korea. Looking for uranium ore, but it seems that there is not much gain. Therefore, the Japanese research process in this area is not worthy of attention.

Compared with these three competitors, the Soviet Union’s progress in nuclear weapons research and development is relatively fast, and the specific progress is similar to that of the Americans. For now, Kurchatov’s laboratory is also accelerating its progress. Prepare to produce the first nuclear bomb that can be used in actual combat.

To be honest, the National Security People’s Committee, especially the Foreign Intelligence Agency, has done a great deal on the alliance’s nuclear weapons development project. So far, the Foreign Intelligence Agency has provided intelligence, data, and information for nuclear weapons research projects. There are more than 40,000 copies in total. These things not only provide references for the alliance's nuclear weapons research projects, but also promote the progress of the research projects to a large extent. It can be said responsibly that without the intelligence information stolen by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, the alliance’s nuclear weapons research project would never have progressed so fast.

Compared with before, Victor’s attention to rocket R&D projects has been weakened a lot, mainly because so far, the alliance has made the most outstanding progress in this technology. Other countries, including Germany, are here. There is a big gap between the R&D investment and related progress of this technology and the alliance.

In Germany, the development of the so-called "V2 rocket" is indeed a success, but its accuracy, effective range, payload and many other aspects are far from being successful. Ballistic missiles are a far cry.

Another point is that after the Germans achieved the success of the V2 rocket test, they seemed to have lost the motivation to continue to evolve in this technology. Of course, it may also be the failure of the Eastern Front, which allowed the Germans to mobilize resources. It is becoming more and more limited, so they have to cut some aspects of expenditure, and this includes the research and development projects of rocket technology.

All in all, in the past six months, the Germans have stalled in the research and development of rocket technology. They have begun to shift their energy to the production of finished products. It is estimated that they plan to adopt this technology this morning in actual combat.

As for the progress of Americans in rocket technology research and development, Victor does not care at all, because he had received information from the New York Intelligence Station before. According to the intelligence, Robert Goddard, the number one person in the field of rocket technology in the United States. , Once submitted a report to the "Office of Scientific Research and Development of the United States" requesting the US government to invest funds in rocket technology research and development projects. However, his proposal was rejected by the leader of the department, Vannival Bush. The other party even commented on Goddard: "I don't understand how a serious scientist or engineer can play rockets."

For Vannival Bush, Victor does not know how to evaluate him. The "Office of Scientific Research and Development" led by this person has made great contributions to the development of military science and technology in the United States during World War II and after the war, not to mention goodbye. Yes, just the "Manhattan Project" under the leadership of this department is enough to explain everything.

However, it was also because of this person's stubbornness and prejudice that the United States was one step behind the Soviet Union in rocket projects. To a certain extent, this also affected the development of the post-war world.

However, in Victor's view, this kind of influence is obviously beneficial to the alliance. He even hopes that Vannivar Bush will be more stubborn on the issue of rocket technology research and development.

Compared with the rocket technology research and development project, Victor is currently more concerned about the intelligence work that is also under the responsibility of the North American Department of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, and to be precise, it is in charge of the Washington Intelligence Station.

This intelligence work involves a research and development project recently put into practical use by the "Office of Scientific Research and Development of the United States". To be more specific, it is a research project related to the "proximity fuze".

This project was also led by Vannival Bush. It was originally developed by the Carnegie Washington Institute led by Moore Tufo, and then transferred to the Applied Physics Laboratory of Hopkins University to continue its research and development.

The application prospects of the project in the field of air defense are very broad. To put it bluntly, its role is to change the way of firing anti-aircraft shells in the past. The shells will automatically detonate only when they are close to the target.

The principle of this thing is not complicated, that is, a vacuum radio wave launch tube is installed in the shell of the cannonball. Once it is triggered and energized, it will continue to send out radio waves. Once the cannonball approaches the object, the radio waves will be reflected back. When the reflected radio waves reach a certain intensity, the shells will be detonated.

However, although the principle is very simple, it is not so easy to really achieve this effect. According to the intelligence provided by the Washington Intelligence Station, the Americans have been studying this technology three years ago, and until last year’s At the end of the year, this research was really put into practice.

In the course of these three years, in order to develop this project, the "Office of Scientific Research and Development of the United States" invested a lot of money, manpower and material resources in the Applied Physics Laboratory of Hopkins University, which finally succeeded in the development of the project. The significance of the work of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the People's Committee of the National Security Council is that it only used the power of four intelligence personnel, plus a fund of less than 50,000 U.S. dollars, to get this American technology in hand.

The alliance does not need to invest large sums of money, manpower and material resources, or even effect testing. Relevant data and materials can be used directly after basic demonstrations, or even directly put into production.

The United States is not a predecessor, of course it is not a giant, but one thing is certain is that if there is a chance to stand on their shoulders, the development of the alliance will inevitably be a situation where the development of the alliance will achieve a multiplier effect, and this effect is obviously. Brought by the intelligence department.

Because of this, with the expansion and development of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Moscow’s power core, including Comrade Stalin, will pay more and more attention to the work of the National Security People’s Committee. Victor’s improvement in status is not only due to He was able to please Comrade Stalin mainly because he had done a lot and was eye-catching.

In addition, Comrade Stalin is not a person with longing for the past. If it weren't for Victor's good job in his post, he wouldn't be able to value this young man so much.

In general, as this cruel war is about to enter its third year, many things have changed: on the battlefield, all the advantages of the German army have been lost. The three-way army, which was originally designed to force the Soviet Union to surrender quickly, basically All were crippled, and until now, the German army has even lost the ability to launch an active offensive on the front line; as the industries shifted to the east of the Urals fully resumed production, the alliance’s shortage of supplies has been comprehensively improved, especially the shortage of weapons and equipment. The situation has been completely changed; within the Red Army system, both the military literacy of soldiers and the commanding ability of commanders have been comprehensively improved, at least compared with the Germans, the gap has been very small.

The most prominent point is that the intelligence collection capabilities of the alliance have been completely changed. The former Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the People’s Committee of the Interior, and the Intelligence Bureau of the Soviet Academy of Sciences were combined into one, and finally formed the National Security People’s Committee. Foreign Intelligence Service. Under Victor's leadership, this large-scale foreign intelligence organization was completely transformed, and in a short period of time, it developed into a daunting behemoth. At least for now, this intelligence organization is absolutely world-class.
