Struggle in Soviet Russia

When I came out of the small yellow building, it was past 8 o'clock in the morning. The thick dark clouds that originally hovered over the city did not know when they dissipated. The light golden sunlight was spreading on the street, shining brightly. Dazzling.

Victor sat in the back seat of the car and waved goodbye to Valentina, who was standing on the steps outside the car, with a gentle smile on his face.

Outside the car, Valentina was wearing a pink nightdress. The hem of the skirt was higher than the knee, and the two white and flowery calves were slender and straight, eye-catching.

Forget who I’ve heard. If a woman invites you to be a guest at her house and puts on her pajamas when you haven’t left, it means that what she really hopes is the pajamas you put on her. Take off.

This is right and put it aside. At least in Victor’s view, this woman is indeed deliberately approaching herself. Her behavior is roughly similar to that of Ji Ana, except that Ji Ana’s methods of seducing him are still more obscure. And this woman's performance is much more direct.

Although the contact time was not long, and it was only a few hours before and after, Victor already had some grasp of Valentina's character. How should I say, this is a very purposeful woman, she has a cheerful personality, can speak eloquently, and is especially good at satisfying the vanity of a man through implicit flattery between words.

Generally speaking, such women are very dangerous, because in most cases, such women will not believe in love. In their life logic, their beauty, body, and even feelings all have certain existence. Valuable ones can be exchanged.

What makes Victor more curious now is what exactly this woman wants from herself—she can't just get a few stories, it's too low-level.

The driver drove Victor back to his residence on the opposite side of Lubyanka Square. Downstairs, he rushed to pick up his Varenka. He was already waiting at the door. Seeing Victor coming back from the outside, the young man was surprised.

Victor first dismissed the driver who had followed him all night, and then he called Varenka to his side and said in a low voice, "I received a temporary notice last night and went to the Kremlin for a meeting. I will rest for two hours. , You wait to pick me up at 10:30."

"Yes, Comrade Director," Varenka nodded in response.

"Also," Victor continued, "Go to Comrade Geshorkov at the Archives, and ask him if he has any information about Valentina Serova, and if so, bring it to me. ."

"Okay, I'll go right away," Varenka said.

"Go," Victor waved his hand and turned to walk into the building door.

At the entrance, Safina's army boots were still there. It was obvious that she did not leave last night, but lived here.

Victor couldn't help having a headache when he thought that he still had to face the showdown between the two women. He changed his shoes in the hallway, rubbing his sideburns, and walked into the living room.

Like yesterday, the living room was very quiet and there was no one. It is estimated that the two women are still sleeping upstairs, so they won't wake up yet.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief. He walked over to the sofa, laid his whole body on the sofa, and let out a comfortable moan in his throat.

I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and I was very nervous. I didn't feel sleepy before, because the excitement caused by the tension has not passed yet. This will relax my mind, and the drowsy feeling of drowsiness suddenly swept over.

Victor thought that he didn't even take off his coat. He should get up and take off his coat. He should even go to the bedroom upstairs, take a shower, and then take a good night's sleep. But thinking about it, he still doesn't want to get up. , As a result, just so hesitated, I don't know when I fell asleep.

I don't know how long he slept, Victor was awakened by a violent tremor. Almost at the moment he opened his eyes, there was a clear roar from somewhere. The sound sounded like a bomb exploding.

As the explosion sounded, the "Woo..." sirens sounded. Listening to the harsh sound, the sirens was apparently sounded by the air defense alarm on the roof of Building 2.

One turned over and rolled up from the sofa, and Victor ran towards the door with his legs open. He didn't even care about putting on his shoes, so he rushed to the door with his bare feet.

Outside the building, the soldier in charge of the security has taken the gun off his shoulder and is looking at the direction of the square with a vigilant face. There, a large number of uniformed members of the NKVD are running in the direction of the building. There is a car driving out from the front of the building, I don't know where it is heading.

"What's the matter?" Victor asked the guard at the door.

"I don't know," one of the guards said with a serious expression, "something seems to have exploded, and the sound is loud, coming from the southwest."

"I think it's northwest," another guard intervened.

There are too many buildings in the city, and it is difficult to judge the direction of the coming from such a huge explosion sound in the first time.

Victor didn't ask much, and turned back to the small building.

"What's the matter?!" In the building, Ji Ana and Safina have appeared on the stairs on the second floor. They saw Victor running in from the outside, and they couldn't care about sorting out some messy pajamas. Asked.

"I don't know," Victor said as he shook his head and walked upstairs quickly, passing by the two women, "I don't know what exploded, it should have come from the west."

As he said that, he had already walked quickly towards his study. The study’s window was facing west. Since there was such a loud explosion, there must be signs of heavy smoke, depending on where the heavy smoke rose. , It should be possible to tell where the explosion occurred.

Unexpectedly, from the window of the study room, there is no place where smoke is visible, whether it is northwest or southwest.

"Here!" At this moment, Ji Ana's voice came from outside the study. "Come here, it should be in the direction of the Belarusian Railway Station."

Victor was shocked. If such a loud explosion came from the Belarusian railway station, how many people would have died?

Without thinking about it, he quickly ran out of the study and rushed into the bedroom diagonally across from Safina.

In the bedroom, Safina and Jiana were standing side by side at the window, looking into the distance with a panic face, Victor ran over quickly, rushed to the window, and followed their eyes. Sure enough, looking over the top of a building, you could see a huge black plume of smoke rising into the sky far away.

The plume of smoke looked like a huge tornado, rushing straight into the air, and finally spread out high in the sky, spreading to the entire sky.

"It's not the Belarusian railway station," Victor pursed his lips and said in a serious tone, "It's the next Oguliki military warehouse!"

After speaking, he didn't care to say a word with the two women, turned around and ran towards the bedroom door.

The Lower Ogulki Military Warehouse was a military warehouse built by the Moscow City Defense Command during the Battle of Moscow. It was not actually in the city of Moscow, but on the way to Reutov, away from the garden. The ring road is still nearly two kilometers away.

After the end of the Moscow battle, most of the six military material warehouses originally set up by the Moscow City Defense Command during the defensive war were abolished, and most of the military materials originally stored were also shipped to the front line. The base warehouse still remains. According to the plan of the General Staff, the materials in this warehouse are to be transported to the front line of Stalingrad. Now it seems...

The two women watched him run downstairs in a hurry, only to remind him to be more careful.

Coming out of the residence, Victor walked across the square and headed straight to Building 2. He knew very well that if the judgment was correct and the explosion really occurred in the Lower Oguliki warehouse, then even if the matter was a big trouble, someone would definitely have to lose his head.

Yes, no matter whether the explosion was caused by mistakes or by humans, someone had to fall their heads.

where is this place? It is Moscow, the capital of the alliance, the window of the entire country to the outside world, and the seat of all the highest organs of state power. For such a serious explosion in such a place, someone must stand up and take responsibility. The key lies in who this person is.

Why is Victor so anxious? The main reason is that he is worried that this outbreak has something to do with him.

If the explosion was caused by a work error, then needless to say, the responsibility needs to be borne by the Moscow City Committee and the Moscow City Defense Command. But if the explosion was caused by man-made sabotage, then the anti-intelligence department of the People's Committee of the Interior of the Moscow Region will bear the responsibility, and the Internal Intelligence Agency led by Victor also needs to bear certain responsibilities.

Rushing to Building 2, Victor went straight to Beria’s office. If nothing else, Comrade Beria should have returned to his office to rest after the morning meeting. This will probably cause him to be awakened. It's not being awakened by the explosion, but also by the phone of the Kremlin.

In the corridor, the door of Beria's office was concealed, and two Secretariat staff were waiting at the door. Looking at the serious expressions on their faces, it was obvious that the situation was not very good.

Victor listened for a moment at the door and could hear that Comrade Beria was talking on the phone with someone from the technical department in the room. The scale of the explosion was so large that it was not easy to investigate the cause of the explosion. Although the Civil Police Directorate and the Criminal Investigation Directorate under the Ministry of Internal Affairs have related technical investigation departments, Comrade Beria will definitely not let them participate in the investigation of the case. The greatest possibility is to dispatch the technical investigators directly under the Committee. .

Waited at the door for a while, until Beria hung up in the room, Victor reached out and knocked on the door, and then before Beria could speak, he pushed the door and walked in.
