Struggle in Soviet Russia

Although he can think of all kinds of excuses and reasons to shirk this responsibility, Victor is not so stupid. It is impossible for a person who wants to shirk responsibility when something goes wrong. It is impossible for him to get to where he is today.

"Just like you said, Comrade Stalin," Victor said sincerely with an expression of conviction. A series of problems, especially those in personnel matters."

Comrade Stalin lit his pipe, his slightly swollen eyelids drooped, obviously waiting for him to continue.

"My idea is that in the recent period, an important adjustment will be made to the personnel issues of the National Security People’s Committee," Victor continued. At the meeting, it was formally proposed to adopt strict situation control measures for all relatives of the staff of the People’s Committee of National Security. All issues must be strictly restricted."

Comrade Stalin nodded, but still did not speak.

"In addition," Fortunately, on the way to the Kremlin, Victor also carefully considered related issues. Therefore, he did not hesitate to continue saying, "In the Ministry of National Security, the People’s Committee will implement the necessary Confidentiality hierarchy, what level of confidential information can be accessed by a person, must be strictly regulated. At the same time, the higher the level, the more rigorous monitoring should be placed on them. Take me as an example. Anyone with top-secret information is not allowed to leave the country."

"You can think of this, it's still very good," Comrade Stalin finally spoke. He nodded and said, "But I think these are not enough. My opinion is that in the past two years or so, Here, the National Security People’s Committee has made important achievements in external intelligence work, but the achievements in internal intelligence work, especially in anti-espionage and anti-sabotage work, are far from satisfactory. "

After a pause, he took a hard breath of his pipe, and then continued: "I read the report you submitted earlier. In our Leningrad area, there is a Polish secret spy organization that has been lurking for a long time. After the organization experienced the great siege of Leningrad, it did not suffer any loss. Its backbone members were even elected as party representatives of the Leningrad Municipal Party Committee."

With a strong wave of the hand holding the pipe, Comrade Stalin raised his voice and said: "This is the shame of your National Security People's Committee, and the shame of the entire national security system."

What Comrade Stalin is talking about here is Ozdoyev's matter. Victor had already reported on this matter before.

"At present, the war that has lasted for more than three years is coming to an end. The problems faced by the alliance will be different in the past few years," said Comrade Stalin. "This situation has already appeared in every aspect. You should be clear. In Western Ukraine, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, in the Caucasus, and even in Central Asia, the enemies who jumped up and down in the war in the past have been lurking. They hid in the jungle, hid in the mountains, and even hid in us. However, their ambitions of destabilizing the alliance and subverting the alliance regime did not hide, but were still beating. Therefore, the primary task of your national security agency in the future is to extract these and send them away. Go where you should go."

Victor has taken out his small record book and quickly recorded Comrade Stalin's instructions.

Of course, he also recognized Comrade Stalin's statement on this point. With the progress of the war, the People's Committee for National Security really needs to spend more energy on counter-espionage and counter-sabotage.

In Western Ukraine, those Ukrainian nationalist guerrillas are vigorously active; on the Baltic coast, pro-fascist guerrillas including the "Forest Brothers" are also active; in Central Asia, certain Islamic fundamentalists are also active. Become ready to move. These are all problems and need to be dealt with by the national security department.

As Comrade Stalin said, in the past two years or so, the People’s Committee of National Security has spent most of its energy on external intelligence, while spending on internal intelligence, counterintelligence, and ideological protection. The energy will be much less. This is mainly because Victor, as the chairman of the committee, has been personally focusing on foreign intelligence work.

Of course, Victor also understood in his heart that the reason why Comrade Stalin began to attach importance to internal intelligence and counterintelligence was also because he had unrealistic expectations for the post-war relationship between the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain.

Yes, in today's Comrade Stalin's opinion, even if the war against Germany is over, considering the cooperation between the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain on the German issue in the past few years, the relationship between the three countries should be able to continue normally. In other words, when the Germans are defeated, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom should be able to make some fair distribution of the post-war situation. The promises made by Britain and the United States at the Tehran Conference will be fully fulfilled. At the same time, they will also ensure that the Soviet Union is in Domination within its sphere of influence.

The triumphant country in the three wars and the harmonious division of the world, how good is it for everyone to live in harmony and dominate the world together?

It is also based on this consideration that Comrade Stalin does not want to be too stalemate with the United States and Britain on the intelligence issue, thus affecting the overall situation.

But as a traverser, Victor is very clear. Comrade Stalin's ideas are only wishful thinking. When the Germans are defeated, I believe he will soon recognize the reality.

But even so, Victor also agreed with Comrade Stalin’s opinion. He also believed that the National Security People’s Committee should attach importance to internal intelligence and counter-espionage work. At the same time, ideological defense must be strengthened as soon as possible. After the Cold War begins, anti-intelligence, anti-subversion, and intelligence theft will become the three major tasks of the National Security People’s Committee.

"That's it, Comrade Stalin," after thinking about it, Victor said, "I do have some ideas for the three tasks of internal intelligence, counterintelligence, and ideological protection. In the next work, I plan to Some adjustments have been made to the work of the committee. I am going to hand over the work of external intelligence to Comrade Eitingo, while I will be responsible for the work of internal intelligence, counterintelligence and ideological protection."

"Aitingo?" Comrade Stalin frowned and said, "Do you think he can do this job?"

"Of course," Victor said without hesitation, "Comrade Aitingo has a wealth of experience in internal intelligence. Of course, he also has certain flaws in his character, mainly because he has a bad temper..."

"Foreign intelligence work is very important," Comrade Stalin interrupted him and said, "We can't tolerate any omissions. So, besides Aitingo, don't you have anyone else to choose?"

Victor was secretly happy, but with an embarrassed expression on his face, he frowned and said, "Except for Eitingo, the current presidium is suitable for people in charge of this work..."

"Why do we have to consider the existing members of the presidium?" Comrade Stalin said dissatisfied. "The presidium of your committee department has been established for more than a year. Is everyone suitable for his current position? As the chairman of the presidium, you are not. Have you considered making some personnel adjustments?"

Victor lowered his eyelids slightly. Although he wanted to take this opportunity to finalize the adjustment, he knew clearly that it was not that simple to do. According to the normal process, it should be Comrade Stalin who showed the intention to adjust. Then he went back to draft a report, summarized the situation of each member of the presidium, and gave adjustment suggestions, which were handed over to the secretary of the Secretariat who was specifically in charge of the national security agency.

At that time, the secretary of the Secretariat will give this report to Comrade Stalin and discuss it in the executive committee. The final result depends on the decision of the executive committee.

Now Comrade Stalin has expressed his intention to adjust the presidium of the People's Committee of National Security, and in the next step, Victor can draft a corresponding report.

Of course, there is a problem here, that is, if Victor really wants to grasp the work of internal intelligence, counterintelligence, and ideological protection, then he will let out the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, so much work. , He can't hold it all alone, it would be too ugly.

For now, Victor doesn't mind handing over the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, because after more than two years of operation, the entire framework of the Foreign Intelligence Agency was built by him. This large-scale intelligence agency, from top to bottom, is basically promoted and appointed by him in all aspects. The person in charge of each division, the person in charge of each continent, region, and even the country, he is I know, I've seen it all, and I can be called by name. Therefore, it can be said responsibly that his control of the Foreign Intelligence Agency is quite in place.

In the future, no matter who takes over the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, it will be impossible to bypass him to grasp this huge department. After all, this department is very special, and no one can adjust personnel on a large scale, otherwise problems will arise.

What's more, although he is not in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, he is still the chairman of the People's Committee of National Security. In the future, no matter who is in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, he will not be able to adjust his people on a large scale in front of him.
