Struggle in Soviet Russia

Victor didn't want to say that he was a narrow-minded person. Others never thought that he was such a person. On the contrary, because of his low-key nature, he had rarely conflicted with others since he was reborn.

However, this awkward pick-up today really made Victor feel ashamed and angry.

He did not have a few dealings with Zhdanov. The most recent one was when he went to the northern front as a base camp representative. That time he was recruited by Zhdanov to meet.

To be honest, he knows that Zhdanov is more arrogant. The reason for this impression is not only from listening to others, but also because of his personal experience during the last meeting.

However, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhdanov's arrogance. After all, he is the second-in-command of the Union country, the in-laws of Comrade Stalin, and the future leader of this country. If these identities are changed to Victor In terms of his body, he believed that he would be even more arrogant by Zhdanov.

But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, Victor really never thought that when this arrogance came to him, it would make him so uncomfortable.

On this platform, Victor felt an unprecedented embarrassment. Who are the people here today? Almost half of the Politburo was present, and he, a member of the Central Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee of National Security, was left in place by Comrade Zhdanov on such an occasion.

Well, leaving aside the matter of face, just talk about the impact of this incident on Victor's political future, and the scene that happened on the platform today may become a stain on Victor's body in the future.

Imagine that once Zhidanov becomes the leader of the country in the future, as long as someone talks about today’s scene, Victor will have to face a lot of troubles. Those guys who desperately want to show themselves in front of the leader, definitely Will spare no effort to kill him.

Just when Zhdanov withdrew his hand and turned around to light up the back of his head, Victor felt his brain stunned. A stream of heat rushed from his chest to the top of his head, as if he wanted to rush out of a gap in the top of his head, and sprayed straight into the sky. .

At this moment, he really had an urge to go up and beat Zhdanov, but he was not so naive after all. The fury in his heart was easily suppressed by him. He tried to keep the expression on his face calm, and at the same time, Deliberately not looking at other people's gazes, so he pursed his lips, and stepped back silently, just flashing to Ignatiyev's side.

Despite deliberately avoiding everyone’s gaze, Victor still seems to be able to feel all kinds of sights around him, including sarcasm, compassion, ridicule, and indifference. In short, as long as you can imagine it, there is definitely nothing. Good look.

But in public, he gave Victor a Comrade Zhdanov who could not come to Taiwan, but he seemed to have no sense of all this. He had a conversation with Comrade Molotov, and then walked in the direction of the exit.

This guy is tall and has a big step fork, so he walks quickly, giving people a sense of resoluteness.

Zhidanov was at the forefront, and even Comrade Molotov, known as the "second in command of the league," was consciously half a step behind him, as if he had given up his position as the "leader".

Victor stayed in place and didn't move. As before, he still planned to go to the back of the crowd. Unlike his previous mentality of watching the excitement, this time, he was going to go to the end to adjust his mood.

Unlike Victor's imagination, when everyone walked past him, no one looked at him with weird eyes, and no one tried to come up to comfort him. In fact, this is nothing incomprehensible. The guys here today are all human beings. Whether they are watching the show or fighting with Victor, they will not choose to talk more at this time. At this time, pretending to not see anything is the most important thing. The best choice.

Soon, the group of people left the station hall mightily from the exit passage, and when they returned to the Komsomolskaya Square in front of the station and sat in his car, Victor let out a sigh of relief, feeling a groggy mind for a moment. Quite sober.

Varenka seemed to see that his face was not right, and didn't dare to ask anything more, so he started the car and followed the front of Malinkov's car.

In the car, Victor frowned and thought, but he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of any place he had offended Zhdanov, so that the other party wanted to lose his face like today, and still use such naive means.

Asking himself, Victor did feel the threat from Zhdanov and was indeed trying to deal with it. But in the final analysis, all of this was under the counter, and on the counter, he was anyone who would provoke him. Danov did not do anything.

No matter how arrogant a person like Zhdanov is, he cannot behave like a child. If he says that he has no place to provoke the other party or affect the other party’s interests, he cannot be so face-to-face. Drumming upset emotions.

Well, these are not important anymore. What is important now is that the thing on the platform has already happened. If nothing happens, it will be spread in Moscow’s power circle in a few days. Everyone will know that there is a contradiction between himself and Zhdanov, so those who have chosen a position early should jump out and seek performance.

Um? !

Perhaps this is Zhdanov's intention?

The chairman of the People’s Committee for National Security is considered a role in Moscow’s power circle. Although he is not the top group of powerful people, he can be regarded as between the second and third tiers.

A role like himself can’t be dealt with by idle people. If nothing else, even Zhdanov himself, if he doesn’t want some tricks, can’t get him down. For nothing else, just because If you want to move yourself, you must first get the approval of Comrade Stalin. Without a nod from Comrade Stalin, in today's alliance, who can take down the chairman of the People's Committee of National Security?

Therefore, Zhdanov may have set himself as a target through the scene on the platform. By erecting his target, he can see clearly who can be attracted and who needs to be suppressed.

Well, it is still uncertain whether Comrade Zhdanov thinks that way, so right and assume that he planned it.

With this judgment in the first place, a fact becomes clear—Zhdanov did not intend to win over or buy himself. He liked the position of chairman of the People’s Committee for National Security, but he did not see himself. Therefore, he prepared Take away yourself and lift up a person he likes.

Now that this fact is clear, then the antagonistic relationship between myself and Zhdanov is clear. Now, there are two roads before me: Why don't you give up your power and find a less important one? Go to post for the elderly. If you choose this path, the people like Zhdanov will certainly not rush to extinction, and the two sides don't have to fight to the death.

Or choose the second way, hold the attitude of loving whoever comes, and fight to the end with all the guys who covet the power in their own hands. Today Zhidanov prevents him from getting on and off the station platform, and tomorrow he will let him. Can't get on stage.

Fighting with people is endless. Since you want to fight, don't care about life or death. In the confrontation between you and me, the more scrupulous people, the less hope of victory.

In today’s Victor’s view, even though Zhdanov is a superior "chief" to him, he still has two hopes in his hands: The first hope is that the Alliance is the writer. The man is Comrade Stalin, not Zhdanov. As long as Comrade Stalin's trust in him remains undiminished, then even if he is facing Zhdanov directly, there is nothing to worry about.

The second hope comes from his past life. Although Victor in his previous life did not know much about the history of the Soviet Union, he knew that Zhdanov was not among the leaders of the Soviet Union. In other words, after the death of Comrade Stalin, Zhdanov is very hopeful , And failed to get what they wanted.

Although it is not yet known where the reason is, as long as the result does not change, that is good news. Although Malinkov and Beria are not leaders of the Soviet Union, at least everyone’s starting point is the same.

With the existence of these two hopes, Viktor believed that he would not necessarily lose in the match against Zhdanov-of course, the key now is that the opponent did not give him the choice not to play against.

Now that I chose to play against, I should have a basic plan. At least I must first select a target to strike. Considering the current reality, this target seems to be a very good choice-Kuznetsov.

As long as Kuznetsov takes over the post of Secretary of the Central Secretariat, who is dedicated to overseeing national security work, then Victor will have the most direct contact with him at work. If nothing else, this one was at the Battle of Leningrad. During this period, the guy who took over almost all of Zhdanov's work will definitely reach out to the People's Committee of National Security for the first time. After all, this person was originally a very powerful person.

Victor has always regarded the National Security People's Committee, especially the Foreign Intelligence Agency, as his basic board. He dare not say anything else. At least in the Foreign Intelligence Agency, no one is more authoritative than him.

If Kuznetsov just extended his hand in other departments of the National Security People’s Committee, Victor might not be able to deal with him, but if the battlefield is replaced by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Victor will be sure to let the other party understand what is called a trap. .
