Struggle in Soviet Russia

Of course, Victor cannot say that this kind of estrangement is unnecessary. In fact, even in his previous life, the external intelligence and internal intelligence of any country are distinguished. After all, external intelligence needs to be more meticulous. many.

In the People’s Committee of National Security, this gap between external intelligence and external intelligence is more beneficial to Victor at this sensitive time. Since he is not responsible for internal intelligence work, there is no need for problems in this area. He has come to bear too much responsibility.

Throwing all the troubles aside, Victor finished his breakfast as quickly as possible. The US military airfield in Poltava was attacked by the Germans and lost more than fifty fighters, bombers, and a certain degree of casualties. , Such a heavy loss is definitely not hidden from Comrade Stalin.

The key point is that when Moscow signed an agreement with the Americans to locate the forward airport in Poltava, there was a cooperation agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States. The United States paid a large amount to the Soviet Union, and at the same time It also provided 14 sets of radar equipment to the Soviet army. In return, the Soviet army not only allocated a piece of land for the establishment of the airport, but also promised to provide security for the airport.

Now it’s just a few months, or even less than half a year. The Americans have spent so much effort to transport so many fighters and long-range bombers to Poltava, and spend a lot of money to save the original The flying Soviet airfield was repaired, but in the end it was such a result, God knows how annoyed the politicians in Washington would be.

Americans who have suffered heavy losses will certainly not be silent. If nothing else, the relevant official protest letter may have been placed on Molotov’s desk. Later, the relevant news will be fed back to Comrade Stalin. Go there. No matter what kind of mentality it is, even if it is just to make the American allies calm down, Comrade Stalin has to do something.

Victor thought about it. Maybe it didn't take long for Comrade Stalin to call his office, and then...

Thinking of this in his mind, Victor was still thinking about smoking a cigarette first, and the red phone on the table called without warning.

Raising his hand and making a silent gesture towards Nino and Sofia, Victor reached out and hovered over the phone receiver until the phone rang for the third time, he lowered his hand and picked it up.

"I'm Victor," he put the phone receiver to his ear, and Victor said respectfully. He had a hunch that today's call was not from Poskrebeshev, but Comrade Stalin himself.

Sure enough, Comrade Stalin heard a somewhat hoarse voice on the phone, and he said straightforwardly: "Come to my villa."

Immediately, the phone hung up.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Victor was a little dumbfounded. Comrade Stalin only asked him to go to the villa on the phone, but didn't say which villa... Is there any mistake? He has more than one villa in Moscow.

After hesitating to hang up the phone, Victor’s first reaction was to ask Poskrebeshev for the answer, but he just rejected the idea when he put the handset on the phone. He held the handset and shook it. After pressing the handle twice, he brought the handset to his ear again.

There was no voice of the operator on the phone, because this was a dedicated line to contact Comrade Stalin. The operators belonged to the Kremlin Guard. As long as Victor dialed the phone, he would naturally know where to go.

Sure enough, after a while, someone answered on the other end of the phone. Before the other party could speak, Victor said directly: "Hello, Comrade Stalin, this is Victor. Where should I go to meet you now?"

There was silence on the other side for a while, and then a much younger voice came out: "Hello, Comrade Viktor Viktorovich, this is Orlov, Comrade Stalin invites you to come here."

Hearing the voice called Orlov on the phone, Victor knew where Comrade Stalin was, because this Orlov was the captain of the guard of the Brizhnia villa.

"Okay, I'll go right there," thanked the other party, Victor hung up the phone, and then quickly got up to change clothes-it was very close from the Kremlin to the Brizhnia Villa, and it was only half an hour's drive from the country. The People’s Committee of the People’s Security Committee seems to be a little far away from here, it’s nearly fifty minutes’ drive away.

This time, it was Sofia who drove Victor, and Varenka asked for leave to meet her little lover yesterday.

Although Comrade Stalin did not say anything about calling him in the past, Victor was 100% sure that it was definitely related to the Poltava air raid.

This has already happened, so as a follow-up, the Soviet side must at least take a serious attitude in front of the Yankees. Therefore, the first task at present is to figure out how the Germans found the US military air base.

Therefore, Victor must first think carefully, and wait a while if Comrade Stalin raises such a question, how he should answer it.

Although Sophia doesn't touch the car often, she drove the car very steadily, quite like a veteran. However, she had never been to the Brizhnia Villa, and didn't even know the road, so she rushed over the road and spent more than an hour back and forth.

The car rushed to the Villa Brizhnia, Sofia followed Victor's instructions and parked the car on the lawn next to the guard post of the villa. Immediately, Victor got out of the car alone and walked quickly towards the entrance of the villa.

Among the many villas where Comrade Stalin lived, the most famous one is naturally the Villa Konzevo. However, that villa was often visited during Comrade Stalin’s later years. To be more specific, it was in 47 years. Later.

In addition to the Konzevo Villa, the most visited by Comrade Stalin is actually the Brizhnia Villa, because the facilities here are relatively complete and the conditions are relatively better. Of course, the most important thing is the rooms in this villa. many.

Entering the front entrance of the villa, Victor greeted Orlov who had spoken on the phone before. The latter did not talk to him, but just nodded at him, made an inviting gesture, and then led him to the building. superior.

Walking up the wooden stairs to the second floor, before reaching the last step, Victor heard a looming sound of piano music. When he walked into the corridor on the second floor, the melodious piano sound became clearer. NS.

Don't look at Victor's lack of literary and artistic elements, but he really heard this piano piece. It looks like Mozart's Fantasia in D minor.

Before Victor could listen, Orlov, who was walking in front, stopped. He stood in front of an oak-colored door and motioned back to Victor. Then he did not knock on the door. Just then gently grasped the door handle, and pushed the door that had been tightly closed open a gap.

At this time, the piano's music became clearer, and the performance happened to reach the exciting section.

Seeing Orlov who pushed the door aside, Victor nodded slightly, stepped forward, and opened the door and walked in.

The room inside the door is not very big. When Victor walked in, he saw Comrade Stalin sitting on the sofa smoking a pipe at first glance.

At this time, Comrade Stalin was wearing a white military uniform, leaning against the sofa with no expression on his face and closing his eyes to rest. Victor would suspect that he had fallen asleep if it hadn't been for the pipe in his hand that was still smoking.

The sound of the piano music came from the gramophone. Seeing that Comrade Stalin hadn't opened his eyes, he seemed to be listening to the music, Victor did not dare to interrupt him, so he stood quietly at the door, waiting for the end of the piano performance. .

After about three or four minutes, the piano music in the phonograph gradually ceased, but soon another melody rang, which Victor couldn't hear.

"Come and sit down." Just then, Comrade Stalin, who was half leaning on the sofa, opened his eyes. He glanced at Victor, pointed at the opposite side with his pipe-holding hand, and said, "Ah, take the phonograph. Stopped."

Victor hurriedly walked over, squeezed the small tonearm, and moved the cartridge to the side. At the same time, he also saw the catalog on the vinyl record, which turned out to be a piano performance by Maria Eugena. record.

This person Victor knew that for a certain period of time, this person was relatively well-known in the Soviet Union, but because she believed in Christianity, she was suppressed to a certain extent in the Soviet Union.

"Look at this, the American embassy delivered it this morning." When Victor sat on the opposite sofa, Comrade Stalin pointed to a document on the table and said, "Our old friend, President Roosevelt and His military adviser George Marshall was very dissatisfied with this accident, so you come and tell me what happened in Ukraine and what happened in Poltava."

Sure enough, this is really the problem.

Victor was calm, he reached out his hand to pick up the document and read it from beginning to end.

This is a telegram, but it was sent in the name of Roosevelt. As Comrade Stalin said, Roosevelt was very "shocked" by the Poltava air raid. He and his staff believed that in Germany With the air force already so exhausted, the Poltava Air Base in the rear of the Soviet Army suffered such heavy losses under the airstrikes of German aircraft, which was unacceptable to Washington. Moscow did not fulfill its promises, which made them very disappointed. .

At the beginning, Victor also followed Comrade Stalin to Tehran and participated in the meeting of the three leaders. Therefore, he knew that Comrade Stalin had a very good impression of Roosevelt. This was closely related to Roosevelt's frequent cooperation with him to suppress Churchill at that time.
