Struggle in Soviet Russia

Victor didn’t realize the document until the thing was thrown out, but it was too late to take it back. A large handful of papers of different specifications had already been scattered in front of him, sprinkling it. land.

Kislyak on the opposite side was taken aback by him, and his flushed face turned pale in an instant.

The NKVD is different from general departments. Other departments are expelled for dereliction of duty at most, but not here. Once there is dereliction of duty, expulsion is regarded as a relatively light punishment. Sentences and even shooting are all possible. possible. The most important thing is that now is the time of war, and once anything is related to wartime, it will often become more serious.

Of course, Captain Kislyak does not think that there is malfeasance in his work, but the real problem is that his immediate boss is very angry, and he can't answer a few questions after asking him. The matter itself It's already very serious.

"You can't remember anything in your mind. You need to check everything. Then, surely you don't know how the supplies are delivered?" Victor was silent for a while, somehow suppressing his anger, he looked at the captain opposite. Said in a mocking tone, "I think, in your mind as big as sesame seeds, maybe you can't remember how many meals you need to eat a day, right?"

"Young, Comrade Major," Kislyak grasped the point of the problem anyway. After hearing Victor's words, he understood what the problem was. Obviously, the other party was criticizing him for not delivering the supplies in time. .

"Recent supplies are indeed not delivered in time," he grasped the key point and naturally explained the problem. He squatted and said, "but this is mainly because it is difficult for us to get support from the rear, so yes, yes. For the first-line supply of materials, we can only expand it in batches..."

"So, according to your statement, it is normal for the soldiers to not receive any supplies for several months?" Victor interrupted him and asked sharply, "When did we even have salt as a scarce material? Yes? You answer this question for me!"

Kislyak's lips trembled. He understood that there must be a problem with a certain part of the transportation, so that a certain place was missed. Otherwise, it would not happen if there was no supply for a few months. As Victor said, at least the supply of salt should never go wrong.

He wanted to say that he would investigate after he returned, and no matter who caused the problem, he must be dealt with seriously. However, the word "cha" seems a bit sensitive in the current atmosphere. He is afraid that he will be scolded if he speaks it out, even though he has since entered. After this house, he has been scolded all the time.

"Why don't you speak?!" Victor asked loudly when he saw this guy remain silent.

"Comrade Major, it is my omission." Not daring to explain more, Kislyak honestly admitted his mistakes. At this time, more explanations can only make more mistakes. Honest confession can show a good one. manner.

"Your omission is to commit crimes against front-line officers!" Victor scolded fiercely. "If any problems arise from this, you will not be immune from the charge of treason!"

Kislyak shuddered. He knew that Victor didn't intimidate himself. It was all true.

"Comrade Sergey Sergeyevich, I do not want to punish you, but I want to tell you clearly, as long as you are still under my hand, as long as your promotion report is passed from me, I will not give Any chance for your promotion," Victor’s anger seemed to subside a bit, his tone slowed down, but when he said it, it seemed to throw Kislyak into the ice cellar, "And, I will give you this time Your performance is recorded in your file. You can apply for a transfer or resign, but before you leave the West, if your work attitude does not improve enough, I will make you regret it."

Kislyak's lips were white, and he hung his head silently.

"Go back to Jr. Yaroslavicz and do what you should do," Victor waved his hand and said impatiently, "From today on, I will stare at you. Don't find me angry. Chance."

"Yes, Comrade Major," Kislyak responded, turning and leaving the room staggeringly.

When he left the room, Varenka, who had been guarding the door, crept in. He squatted on the ground, picked up the scattered documents one by one, carefully placed them in front of Victor, and then quietly retired. .

The room returned to quiet, Victor let out a sigh, reached out his hand to take his cigarette from the table, and just lit one when he heard footsteps in the direction of the door.

Turning to look, there was a tall and burly young man standing at the door, but his head looked like a date.

"Ah, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel Georgi," Victor hurriedly stood up and greeted with a smile. "Come in, is there anything wrong?"

The name of the visitor is Georgi, Georgi Karpović Zineov, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and is currently the director of the Political Division of the Operations Department of the General Staff. His position is quite special. Although he works in the General Staff Department of Operations, the personnel relationship is linked to the General Political Department. In other words, this person is engaged in party affairs in the General Staff Department of Operations. Although his military rank is lieutenant colonel, Victor, who is a national security major, is one level higher than him. However, there is no way to talk about who is in command between the two. After all, they are not part of the same system.

Zineov accompanied Sergiyenko to the command of the Western Front. His duties are the same as those of the latter. He also came to investigate whether Victor’s communications command center needs to be placed under the command of the Western Army. It’s just that, He is mainly investigating the issue of the headquarters, while the latter is investigating the issue of Victor.

Speaking of it, Zineov is also a legendary character. If it weren’t for Bulganin’s introduction, Victor could not even believe that this man had already been the secretary of the municipal party committee before the war broke out. Yes, he was Dnepr. Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Petrovsk. He was born in 1907. He graduated from high school at the age of 18 and started working as a worker at the famous Dnepropetrovsk Liebknecht Metallurgical Plant. In the following years, he worked part-time and studied, and finally won Bachelor of Engineering from the Dnepropetrovsk Institute of Metallurgy.

Coincidentally, in the year he graduated from the School of Metallurgy, a fellow who also studied metallurgy and obtained a Bachelor of Engineering degree through self-study went to the Dnepr region and became a Soviet in Dnepropetrovsk. Chairman. In a very accidental opportunity, Zineoff met this man, and the other party valued him very much. Although the other party was younger than him, he repeatedly invited him to follow him.

So Zineov became the secretary of the district party committee of Lenin District in Dnepropetrovsk two years later, and after another year, his friend became Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. Secretary of the State Party Committee. Zineov was promoted quickly and became secretary of the municipal party committee, but at this time, the war broke out and the friend went to the General Political Department, and Zineov also followed.

Oh, of course Viktor did not know that Zineov’s friend was named Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev. And this Zineoff will become his colleague, subordinate, and political enemy one day in the future.

Zineov is very enthusiastic. He highly praised Victor’s work in the West and expressed the position of the General Staff and the General Political Department on this matter. They fully support the proposal of the Western Front Army Command. The application, adhering to the basic principle of "all for war, all for winning war", the NKVD should also be able to approve this application.

This guy also took out a report in front of Victor. It was written in his own hand and will be submitted to the People’s Commissar of National Defense after returning to Moscow. Victor read the report honestly and unceremoniously. After reading it, he blushed a little bit. Although the other party showed the facts, the compliments were a bit too much.

Of course, Victor also knows Zinev’s position. At present, the General Political Department and the General Staff are wearing a pair of trousers. No matter how much they may have, they are at least on the issue of fighting for more resources for the military. , They have the same position.

Victor didn’t know how Sergiyenko’s report was written. He believed that the staid guy would not be able to show the report to himself, but from a practical point of view, he estimated that he would not be able to escape this time. The front command is unlikely to let him go.

Rejecting the enthusiastic Zineoff’s invitation to lunch together, Victor sent the guy away. He really couldn’t understand. Is it fun for the two to get together and eat a few potatoes?

As it approached noon, the misty drizzle was still falling, and the wind blowing from the north brought a slight coolness, which reminded the people on this land that the hot summer is about to pass, and the short autumn It's coming, and now that autumn is here, how far will winter be?

When Olica appeared in front of the farmhouse, Victor was standing at the door thinking wildly. He was considering whether the logistics department had already begun preparing winter clothes for the frontline soldiers. The little history in the previous life told him that the war was going on. In the past few years, almost every winter has been a rare severe winter in history. The reason why the Soviets were able to defeat the Germans was because the Germans did not adapt to the cold weather in Russia...

Well, these views are a bit nonsense. Victor was a northerner in China in his previous life, but judging from the southerners he met, it seems that people living in southern China are more cold-tolerant than northerners.

Olica brought lunch to Victor, and at the same time, brought him a fiery body. This woman was even more addicted than Victor when she first tasted men and women.
