Struggle in Soviet Russia

However, even so, under the full operation of the intelligence station, more or less some information related to the Lviv border guard system before the war was searched out. As for whether this information is related to " The Gerstenmeier incident is related, and it is not easy to say now.

Victor received the report from Lviv, and he rushed over from Kiev without a pretense. It was not because of how concerned he was with the investigation of the "Gstenmaier incident", but the nervousness of Kiev. The atmosphere made him very uncomfortable, so he found an excuse to avoid the limelight.

Again, with regard to the dispute between Safonov and Merkulov, Viktor is willing to support the former from a personal emotional point of view. After all, he is also very clear in his heart that the NKVD This kind of "troika" privilege is only something that can only appear in a special period and under a special political background. Once everything is back on the right track, this abnormal privilege will always be revoked. Otherwise, who Is the love alliance that can be said is led by the Bolshevik Party or by the NKVD? As the leader of this department, is his authority too much?

In fact, if it were not for fear of causing Beria’s resistance, Victor really wanted to have a good talk with him. After all, the People’s Committee of the Interior retains such a large power, but it’s actually nothing to Beria. Good thing, this time Safonov and Golyakov were able to create such a big momentum. Who dares to say that there is no support from Comrade Stalin behind them? Perhaps even the leader comrade has the idea of ​​taking back the privilege of the NKVD.

In a word, the construction of the legal system of the alliance is not something anyone who wants to do it can be done, and whoever doesn’t want to do it can avoid talking about it. This is an inevitable trend of social progress and it can’t be stopped by anyone, let alone the people in the house. Those in the committee department, even Comrade Stalin, can't do it.

After all, Victor came in casual clothes. Instead of returning the military salute to the intelligence personnel present, he nodded at several people, and then walked to a desk.

At the same time, a young man with blond hair who looked in his early thirties walked over and said: "Comrade Chairman, I'm very sorry, Comrade Beljavsky received a call an hour ago..."

Victor waved his hand, interrupted the other party, and said, "Your work is the most important thing. Don't care about me too much."

After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at each other, and asked, "You are Comrade Major Yuri Bil Yaviskin, right?"

"Yes, Comrade Chairman, Yuri Arseyevich Birjaviskin reports to you," said the major, standing up quickly, saluting.

"I heard Comrade Beljavsky mentioned you," Victor nodded, and at the same time, reached out and patted the opponent's arm gently, and said with a smile, "In the past three years of war, your intelligence work It is very effective. I have applied for the medal for you. I believe it will be issued to your group in a short time."

"Thank you, Comrade Chairman," Major Bil Yawiskin said excitedly.

Victor smiled. Today's Lviv Bureau is completely different from the situation before the war. When he was in the NKVD, the level of the Lviv Bureau was a bit low. As the person in charge, he was only a captain. Military rank. And now, the head of the Lviv Bureau of the National Security People's Committee is already at the rank of colonel, and the head of Ukraine should be a third-level national security commissioner.

Before, the Beljavsky mentioned by Viktor was the tentative person in charge of the Lviv Bureau. He is a lieutenant colonel. Once the position is determined, the rank of this person will be raised to one rank. The rank is responsible for the work of the People’s Committee of the National Security Committee in Lviv.

Here, one thing needs to be clear, that is, although Lviv belongs to Ukraine, the Lviv Bureau is not managed by the Ukrainian National Security People’s Commission, but is directly led by the Presidium of the National Security People’s Commission. Similar There are several special local bureaus in Lviv, such as the Smolensk local bureau, the Baku local bureau, and the Balabinsk local bureau.

The reason why local bureaus like Lviv and Smolensk are directly responsible for the presidium is because these places are important border areas; and the Baku local bureaus are because this place is very important to the alliance; as for The Barabinsk local bureau has a special reason. The reason why it is directly led by the presidium is that Barabinsk has three special service training schools under the Ministry of National Security.

In the Lviv Bureau, people like Barjavsky and Bill Yaviskin can be said to follow Victor. They were already employees of the Lviv Bureau of the NKVD before the outbreak of the war. After being lurking here, he also accepted Victor's arrangement.

In other words, these people have been in contact with Victor since before the war. They subsequently left the NKVD and joined the NKVD because they accepted Victor's invitation.

"Well, don’t say anything that doesn’t matter, my comrade Yuri Arsejevic." Victor glanced back at a chair, stretched his hand over, and tried to move it over with a smile. Said, "Tell me, where is the information you found about the Gerstenmaier incident?"

Before he could do it himself, Major Bill Yaviskin had already moved the chair over, and while inviting him to sit down, he said: "Please sit down, Comrade Chairman, I will fetch the relevant information for you."

Victor smiled, sat down on the chair, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and took a sip. Bill Yaviskin, who hurriedly left, hurried back. Back, there was a pile of old-looking documents in his hand.

"Comrade Chairman, this is all the information we have collected so far related to the Lviv Bureau of the NKVD before the war," said Bil Yaviskin, placing the document on the table in front of Victor. " Among them, there are many that you personally signed back then."

Victor glanced at the file placed in front of him, reached out and opened the top copy, and looked at it.

Sure enough, this was a document signed three years ago when I arranged for the evacuation of people from Lviv. The approximate content of the document was to ask the fire department personnel to cooperate with the Agricultural Bank to exchange the documents and rubles that could not be transferred. All the cash was burned so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Looking at the end of the document, he was indeed signed with his own name. After thinking about it carefully, Victor can even remember the situation when he signed the document.

With a knowing smile, Victor asked curiously: "Why is this document still kept? Is it related to the case we are investigating?"

"Yes, Comrade Chairman," Bil Yaviskin nodded and said, "When we picked up this document, we also got another document, the second below."

"Oh?" Victor glanced at him in surprise, and then took the second document. While unfolding, he listened to Bill Yaviskin said, "This second document involved the then chief of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Police. Ladimir Rokotov."

Victor looked at the second document. This was an Agricultural Bank of China's warehouse receipt. There was a three-year record on it. The general content was that a worker from the Workers’ and Peasants Police Department took a copy from the Agricultural Bank’s vault. Old rubles, these old banknotes are recycled banknotes waiting to be burned. The amount is 730,000 rubles, and there are still odds and ends.

Perhaps because of rush, the writing of the outbound slip did not meet the standard very much, but at the end of the signature place, Vladimir Rokotov's name was signed.

Victor's face instantly darkened, and it was obvious that there was a problem in this matter.

Because when he gave this order, the German army was already coming to the city. The order given to the Workers’ and Peasants’ Police Headquarters was to assist the garrison and border guards in organizing the city defense, and the task of burning down the corresponding materials was entrusted to the fire department personnel to carry out. .

In addition, the order of destruction is also on-site destruction, and there is no requirement to transfer the destruction. What's more, the discarded old banknotes of 730,000 rubles are not much less, but not much, at least without the need for the Civil Police Headquarters. The person in charge specially arranged for the truck to be transported away. At the time when the program was out of the library, it burned in the warehouse long ago.

"Vladimir Rokotov, I remember him," Viktor leaned back on the chair and frowned. "He..."

Looking up at Bir Yaviskin, Victor asked, "Where is he now?"

"Dead in action," Bill Yaviskin said. "In December 41, he was killed in action on the upper beach of Feodosia."

Victor was a bit speechless. The Battle of Feodosiya Uphill was part of the Battle of Kerch-Feodosiya. It was part of the outer battle of the Sevastopol Defence. It was fought cruelly at the time.

"However, we are sure that Vladimir Rokotov's former secretary, Dmitry Fabishenko, is still alive," Bil Yaviskin continued. "He was with Rokotov. Served in the 51st Army. After Rokotov's death, he was still alive. He has now transferred to the 1st Baltic Front Army and still serves in the 51st Army. He is a deputy commander of the major of the 276th Infantry Division."

Victor froze for a moment.

"According to the information we have now, at the time, Rokotov was not only related to this case, it is very likely to be closely related to the Gerstenmaier incident," Bill Yaviskin said, "So, We need Fabischenko’s confession."
