Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 19: Referendum plan

Victor's predecessor's experience was more complicated, no, it was not that it was complicated, but that he had been to more places. His hometown, Krasnoyarsk Territory, is itself a place of exile and a destination for ethnic migration, and the local ethnic composition is complex. Later, he lived in Tyumen for a period of time, and at this time Tyumen was also a place with a large population and a complex ethnic composition.

When he was in Tyumen, Victor had seen such a woman who put paper money on his fingers. At that time, he was very curious and asked about it. However, he was beaten and robbed of some money. .

From then on, he knew what these women did. Yes, these women are prostitutes, and they are prostitutes with Polish gangs behind them. The banknotes in their hands are actually priced. The green banknotes are 3 rubles, and the blue banknotes are 5 rubles.

Why are they determined to belong to the Polish gang? It's very simple, because the gangs of different ethnic minorities have different ways of marking prices. The prostitutes controlled by Ukrainian gangs write the price on the sole of their shoes. Those Ukrainian women often sit on chairs on the street to solicit business. When someone asks for a price, they straighten their legs and display the price under the sole of the shoe.

Fighting against guerrilla crimes is one of the important responsibilities of the People’s Committee of the Interior. In the newly occupied territories, cleaning up the dirt under the capitalist system is one of the key tasks. Therefore, Victor sees this under the sun. The sins are very concerned.

The jeep drove past the waiting station quickly, and Victor retracted his eyes from the window, his brows trembled slightly, with a thoughtful expression.

Whether it comes from the memory of his predecessor or the experience of his previous life, Victor knows very well that it is never too simple to look at organized crime groups such as gangs. These guys are desperadoes. Just give money, what Dare to do it. Therefore, these guys can definitely be regarded as having a wide range of friends, and it can be said that the ghosts and monsters in the black zone can be related to them.

Then, a very interesting question arises. Are those anti-Soviet guerrillas and saboteurs hiding in the jungle and among the civilians also related to these guys? Hey, these issues really need to be studied.

The jeep finally stopped in front of the building of Nikolaev City Hall. At this time, the outside of the building was surrounded by security forces wearing blue hats, and it was definitely a heavily guarded place.

Victor got out of the car and stepped on the white marble stairs in front of the building. Before reaching the door, he saw a young man in a gray suit walking out of the door, gesturing and facing He greeted him. The young man he knew was the secretary of Major Serov, his name was Daniil Dmitriyevich, and his surname was Kugayev.

"You came too in time, Lieutenant Victor," the young man, who had always been calm, said before he was greeted by Victor.

Victor blinked, and he sensitively caught a message inadvertently brought out by the opponent: "Lieutenant Colonel!" What lieutenant colonel? Which lieutenant colonel? There is no doubt that Daniil must be talking about Serov, that is to say, Serov has been promoted to national security lieutenant colonel, but this news has not been announced yet.

"When did Major Serov come from Nikolaev?" Victor asked with a light cough, pretending not to hear the information leaked by the other party. Yes, he didn't know that Serov was coming.

"The previous plan has changed," said Daniil. "Originally, Kiev only arranged for Comrade Demyan Sergeyevich to come and inspect, but just before departure, Nikita Sergeyevich Comrade Qi Khrushchev suddenly asked to come over and have a look, so the major came with him."

Khrushchev? Although he didn't know much about the situation in the Soviet Union in his previous life, Victor still knew the name of this man.

"Any other arrangements?" Victor frowned and asked without thinking about Khrushchev.

Today Khrushchev is the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine. It is impossible for such a person to leave Kiev suddenly and come to the newly-occupied Western Ukraine region without any thoughts.

"Comrade Nikita Sergeyevich’s working ideas have always been difficult to figure out," Daniel led him into the building, while whispering, "Three days ago, he had just returned from Brest. Kiev, so no one knew what his purpose in coming to Nikolaev was before. However, when talking to Comrade Podkopayev just now, he talked about the issue of holding a referendum in West Ukraine."

"The referendum?" Victor was a little surprised.

Regarding the issue of the newly-taken West Ukraine region, although the Soviet Union has completely occupied this area, the current external, that is, the international statement, is that the Soviet Union "in order to protect the interests of all Ukrainians in West Ukraine, West Belarus, and Belarus. ", while temporarily taking over the area. As for the future of this region, it still depends on the results of the referendum in the region. According to previous statements, this referendum will be officially held in June next year.

To be honest, it is precisely because of Moscow's rhetoric that when the Soviet army advances into West Belarus and West Ukraine, it will be so smooth. Only tens of thousands of Polish troops will take the initiative without resistance. Surrender to the Red Army. It is because of this rhetoric that nowadays there are some Polish politicians and military leaders who are still dreaming of rebuilding the Republic of Poland with half the land. As everyone knows, a large part of them are actually on the execution list of the People's Committee of the Interior.

"Comrade Nikita Sergeyevich was very dissatisfied with Comrade Podkopayev. He believed that he did not raise the issue of the referendum to a sufficient level and did not pay enough attention to it, believing that it was in the interests of the Soviet Republic. Betrayal." Daniel continued.

Podkopayev refers to Yevgraf Igoryevich Podkopayev. He is currently in charge of overall party affairs in the Lviv region. In fact, it is similar to the acting state committee. The first secretary. Khrushchev put a "betrayal of the interests of the Soviet Republic" on his head. If this is a formal accusation, the charge is really too great.

"So, this time, Comrade Nikita Sergeyevich came for the referendum?" Victor asked, "but isn't the referendum vote in June next year?"

When the two were talking, they were already up the stairs on the first floor. When Victor asked this question, they happened to walk to the top of the stairs on the second floor. At this moment, a few people turned around in the corridor on the second floor.

Among these people, the one walking in the front is a short man. He is wearing a plain Lenin costume with a slightly blessed face. The most striking thing is a big nose. Perhaps because of lack of sleep, he has some eyes. Obvious swelling, sweat stains on the forehead. Because the hair loss on the top of the head is more serious, he left a funny back, and deliberately kept long hair combed from left to right, covering the top of the head. Well, this is called "hidden baldness" in later generations.

Behind this person, Victor saw Serov in uniform. Needless to say, the person walking in the front must be Khrushchev. To be honest, the image of this person is absolutely different from the image of Khrushchev in Victor's previous life. If it were not for this kind of occasion, it would be impossible for him to recognize the other person.

Khrushchev obviously heard the question Viktor asked just now, his eyes focused on Viktor's body, and the expression on his face was a little unhappy.

Serov's relationship with Khrushchev was obviously very good. He stepped forward and whispered something in the latter's ear.

There was a strange expression on Khrushchev's face. He looked at Victor up and down and asked, "You are Viktor Viktorovich Tarashev? You are from Turukhansk Territory?"

Victor froze for a moment. He thought that the other party was testing himself, so he said: "Yes, Comrade Secretary, but the Turukhansk Territory was cancelled five years ago and merged into what is now Krasnoyar. Krai."

Khrushchev seemed to want to ask something more, but he held back. He changed the subject and asked: "I heard your question just now. What? You think that if the referendum is advanced, the final result will be Will it be unsatisfactory?"

Victor glanced at Serov, but the other party avoided his eyes, which obviously meant that he could say whatever he wanted.

"Answer my question, young man," Khrushchev urged.

"Comrade Secretary, I think it doesn't matter when the referendum will be held," Victor thought for a while, and said, trying to figure out what the other party wanted. "The important thing is that the merger of the West Ukraine region is a matter of concern to the Soviet Union. The fundamental interests of the country. Of course, choosing to be incorporated into the Soviet Union is also most beneficial to the future of West Ukraine. With this premise, all people living in West Ukraine must be upright people and have normal sense. , Should choose to vote for the merger."

"Really?" A smile appeared on Khrushchev's solemn face. He glanced at the people behind him, and said with a point. "But some of our comrades think that if we rush into a referendum now , I’m afraid there will be surprises in the results of the voting."

"I think that as long as you are fully prepared, there shouldn't be any unexpected situations," Victor said.
