Struggle in Soviet Russia

Along the Transnistria, Nikolaev.

On the edge of the lush bushland, a group of ill-designed troops of more than a dozen people were shooting at the rear while retreating towards the depths of the bushland. A few dozen meters away behind them, a group of them wore blue hats and dressed The blue trousers of the internal affairs soldiers were biting, and the gun battle between the two sides shocked the entire wilderness.

Farther away, Victor put down the binoculars in his hand, turned and walked towards an armored combat vehicle parked not far away... It is an exaggeration to say that it is an armored combat vehicle, even though it is equipped with tracks, The style is exactly like a tank, but the car body is square, and the small and somewhat unspeakable things are really armored, but it is really difficult to associate it with the tank. It doesn't even have a gun on its body, only a heavy machine gun.

This thing is the so-called TK-3 tank of Poland. The Soviet army captured a batch of them while advancing to West Ukraine. Because the army was not interested in receiving this thing, Victor used his power to intercept two tanks. It was purely Used as a toy.

Since the formal establishment of the working framework of the Lviv People’s Committee of the Interior, Victor began to concentrate his efforts to form a security force under the command of the State People’s Committee of the Interior. According to the order of the superior, this force was organized into a regiment with three subordinates. camp.

The three battalions are not located together, but are set up in Lviv, Yavorov and Chervonograd. Victor is the lieutenant commander. Of course, this is only the nominal commander. The army is Lieutenant Kubukin. The reason for this arrangement is that Lieutenant Kubukin has experience in commanding operations.

Even so, this arrangement is only temporary. Victor has already issued the report and hopes to obtain approval from the higher authorities. From the basic commanders of the border guards, find a lieutenant with rich command experience to serve as the commander of the security forces. For Victor, the internal affairs unit of this regiment is very important to him. In the next more than a year, he needs this unit to be transformed into a real elite, so he needs to find an experience for this unit first. Rich commander.

As the saying goes, "knife sharpening and not chopping wood by mistake." Although this newly formed security force has no real commander, it has already begun to carry out some of the tasks of suppressing bandits.

As Victor had originally expected, Lviv, which has just been re-taken by the Soviet Union, is more complicated in all aspects, especially compared to the small places like Shepchenkovo, which consists of hundreds of thousands of people. The big city itself is full of various problems.

Simply count: The first question is that the entire Lviv Oblast has just been taken back from Poland. Since the 1920s, this area has been under the control of the Poles. More than a decade has passed. Now, the Polish control over here is actually relatively solid. Now that the Soviet Union has taken it back again, there is no need to ask, the anti-Soviet sentiment in this area must be very high, and all kinds of rebellions and sabotage activities must also be endless.

Secondly, there are complex security issues. The system adopted by Poland is completely different from that of the Soviet Union. In the past ten years, under the decadent rule of the Polish government, a large number of organized criminal groups have been brewing in Lviv, an industrially developed area. Of course, There is a lot of dirt that is not visible. These things are incompatible with the Soviet system and must be rectified.

Furthermore, the problems of ethnic conflicts that have been sharpened in a short period of time due to the change of ruler. With the disappearance of Poland as a country, for many people, it seems that the time has come for revenge, grievances, and grievances. Therefore, Violent incidents caused by ethnic conflicts have also occurred frequently in the recent period.

In addition, Moscow is also urging the entire Western Ukraine and the new territories of West Belarus to adopt collective farm system reform as soon as possible; urging the People’s Committees of the Interior of the two places to launch anti-revolutionary activities as soon as possible; urging the two places to start census work as soon as possible, and based on the results of the census, Implement the ethnic migration policy.

In short, even though Victor is not the secretary of the Lviv state party committee, he has a lot of work to be responsible for, and it is even daunting. It is not easy for him to continue to pay attention to the issue of the security forces in this situation.

The chase in the jungle, mainly in the bushes, soon ended. This Polish guerrilla group, which has only recently become active near Nikolaev, still has a small number of people who fled into the jungle and escaped the soldiers of the security forces. The pursuit.

Although there was no change in the expression on his face, in his heart, Victor was very dissatisfied with the result, that is, dissatisfied with the performance of the soldiers and the command of the grassroots commanders. In his opinion, this army Now it can only be regarded as miscellaneous.

Losing the interest in the final count of the results, Victor left the broken tank without saying a word, walked through a thicket of grass, and found the jeep parked by a birch tree.

Although the organization arranged a driver and a guard for him, the driver Victor now uses is still Valenka. When Victor returned to the jeep, Varenka looked at his face, did not say anything, just handed an oval badge.

This is a badge badge used to indicate the staff of the People’s Committee of the Interior. It is oval in shape with a dagger and party emblem on it. It belongs to Victor. It fell on the car before. Varenka didn’t know where to find it. Came out.

Victor took the badge, and while wearing it on his right chest, he got into the car and said, "Let's go, now back to Nikolaev."

To be honest, Varenka’s advantage is that he is very hardworking and has a stricter mouth, but he is not an informed person, nor a person with particularly good eyesight. However, he is studying very hard recently. For example, he now knows what it means to talk less and do more.

The jeep started quickly and drove north on a wasteland where there were no roads. After more than 20 minutes of bumps, it was considered to have entered the suburbs of Nikolaev.

Compared with Lviv, Nikolaev's development is much lagging behind in this year and month. The main reason is that it was once Poland's frontier position against the Soviet Union.

Nikolaev’s People’s Committee for Internal Affairs was established a week ago. The person in charge was airdropped directly from Kiev. The name is Mikhail. As for his father’s name and surname, Victor is still not clear about it, because He has not received the other party's resume.

Although both belong to the People's Committee of the Interior and are the People's Committee of the Interior of Ukraine, from the perspective of affiliation, the person in charge of Nikolaev's side is also a subordinate of Victor, but he can't directly intervene in other people's affairs.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so naturally the People's Committee of the Interior is the same. Today, the Ukrainian People’s Committee of the Interior is led by Major Serov. He is in power. After the previous promotion, Viktor has been firmly branded with Major Serov. To put it bluntly, he is Major Serov’s person.

But even Major Serov has no absolute say in the Ukrainian People’s Committee of the Interior, and he is also subject to the constraints and constraints of others. Nowadays, none of the Big Three, except Beria, of the People's Committee of the Interior is very good. They all use various methods to add sand to their competitors. And this second lieutenant called Mikhail is the sand mixed with others.

For Victor, he did not regard this mysterious subordinate as an enemy now, because he had no interest in his current position at all.

When I came to Nikolaev today, Viktor’s purpose was threefold: First, to see how the security forces here are; second, to arrange for Comrade Korotchenko to inspect Nikolaev’s security work. Three, it was to meet this Mikhail.

Now, the first thing he has to do is done, and the next thing to do is the second thing.

The so-called Korotchenko here refers to Demyan Sergeyevich Korotchenko. This person is an old member of the Communist Party of China. At present, his status is a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Party. The secretary, at the same time, the chairman of the Ukrainian People’s Committee, is a real boss.

Victor received a notice two days ago that Korotchenko was leaving Kiev and came to inspect the newly-occupied Western Ukraine. The task assigned to him by Major Serov was to ensure the safety of this person in Lviv. .

So far, Victor did not intend to take the initiative to achieve the third purpose of coming here. In other words, he would not take the initiative to meet that Mikhail. He has not fallen so much. During Nikolaev, he Huiquan when this person does not exist. But if the other party does not come to see him before he leaves Nikolaev, he will naturally find a way to put on the other party’s shoes so that the other party can understand who is the real one in the Lviv People’s Committee of the Interior system. Boss.

As the jeep was driving on Nikolaev's somewhat bleak street, Victor arched his waist slightly, looking through the dusty glass window towards the sidewalk on the side of the street.

At this time, the jeep just passed a tram station. At the semi-outdoor style station built, there were two women in long skirts sitting on rows of chairs.

Victor, with his sharp eyes, saw their hands hanging on the side of their legs almost at a glance. On the middle fingers of their hands, there were two green hoops on each, like rings.

Victor's lips twitched, and he saw that the green hoop was not a real ring, but a folded bill, well, a three-ruble bill.

Don't think that the fake ring made by putting such a banknote on your finger is purely for fun. This is a code word, oh no, to be precise, this is a kind of price tag or banner.
