Struggle in Soviet Russia

In addition to determining the hiding position of the targets based on the memory of previous lives, Victor also has other methods that can be used. For example, a series of methods frequently used in criminal investigations in previous lives, and those mature touch row methods in later lives can also be used in this regard. Play a certain role.

Take Kalpenko as an example. The reason why he is so active and arrogant in West Ukraine is not that the local border guards, or even the workers and peasants police, can’t deal with them. The fundamental reason is that these guys are completely fighting guerrillas. , To put it bluntly, these guys are a group of bandits, and they are also the kind of bandits with no homes.

After committing a case in a certain place, they will soon move to another place. Because they are playing under the guise of nationalism, they have a certain mass base in Western Ukraine. They may face border guards. It is the encirclement and suppression of the police, they only need to hide their weapons, change their clothes, and find a place to hide.

Therefore, to deal with these guys, the most critical difficulty is to find their hiding place. As long as the whereabouts of these guys can be determined, the NKVD can easily wipe them out.

Therefore, the primary task of Victor and the Internal Intelligence Agency under his leadership is to determine the hiding places of the Ukrainian rebels, including Kalpenko.

In the office, Victor sits behind his desk, with a map of Eastern Galicia spread in front of him, and in his hand is a document in which it records the past more than a year, All the **** incidents in West Ukraine, among them, all Kalpenko participated in, have been hooked out by him.

He held the document in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. While examining the document, he sketched on the map.

In the criminal investigation of later generations, there is a technical method called Mopai. To put it bluntly, it is to determine the approximate hiding area of ​​the suspect based on the whereabouts of the suspect during a certain period of time, and then organize the police to search.

Since it is necessary to determine the scope of the suspect’s hiding place, some techniques and analytical methods must be used to narrow the scope of this mapping, such as the cross-pointing method, the spatial composition method, etc., which are determined by these methods. Although the range is not necessarily accurate, it is always better than finding a needle in a haystack, not to mention that their effectiveness is still very high.

Victor's method now comes from criminal investigation techniques of later generations.

To be more specific, in the past period of time, Kalpenko and the rebel guerrillas under his command have been operating in Western Ukraine. They have carried out more than ten operations in Warren and Lviv. action.

Undoubtedly, considering that these rebels do not have vehicles such as cars and trains, they cannot have too many horses under the siege of border guards. Therefore, their range of activities is greatly restricted.

So, the dozen or so operations they took in the Western Ukraine region must have a radius of activity, which is the distance they can arrive within a certain period of time and then safely withdraw to the place of departure.

Victor circled all the locations on the map where Kalpenko and his team had acted, and then connected every two points with a straight line. In this way, the area circled by the intersections is this. The place where people are most likely to hide.

After some sketches, Victor was finally surprised to find that the area surrounded by dense intersections happened to include Shatsk in the Warren region, that is, in the memory of his previous life, there were Ukrainians as "bald". The city where Ivan Krimchak erected the statue, could it be said that Kalpenko and Ivan Klimchak were hiding in one place?

……………

"Ring Ling Ling..."

Some harsh telephone ringing suddenly rang in the quiet office.

Shocked by the sudden ringing of the telephone, Victor, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up. He straightened his waist from the desk, his face with imprints, and even a piece of letter paper with him.

The phone was still ringing. When Victor woke up, he stretched out his hand and wiped his face, struggling to tell which phone was calling. After confirming that it was the red phone, he swallowed, quickly. Reached out his hand, took the receiver, brought it to his ear, and said, "Good morning, this is Victor Viktorovich."

"I didn't sleep well last night?" Comrade Stalin's voice came on the phone, which was calm and slightly tired and hoarse. "I called your residence and said it was your committee meeting that evening."

"Yes, Comrade Stalin," Victor said, "We have decided on the next step..."

"Well, I have something to say to my office," Comrade Stalin interrupted him directly and said, "You can wash your face first. I'll give you half an hour."

"Okay, Comrade Stalin," Victor said, licking his lips.

The phone immediately hung up, and the leader did not even ask good morning. Obviously, he was not in a good mood.

Looking at the watch in his hand, it is less than seven o'clock. Comrade Stalin called so early, without asking, it must be because of what happened in Lavalokaya.

Victor also considered it last night. The reason why Comrade Stalin is so concerned about this time is not only because of the involvement of British journalists, but also because the Ukrainian rebels are going too far. In the past, these guys only attacked collective farms or villages and towns, but now, they have begun to rob trains. This kind of arrogance is absolutely intolerable to Comrade Stalin.

When he got up and walked into the lounge, Victor took a simple wash in the shortest amount of time. Then, he returned to the desk and sorted out the results of his work last night. Last night, he adopted the rules of cross-pointing method and proceeded. After a detailed derivation, a series of predictions were made about the hiding places of several leaders of the Ukrainian Resistance Army.

Don't think that this job is simple, it is actually very troublesome to do it. Victor kept it until more than three o'clock in the morning before he fell asleep on his desk.

This night of work is obviously very meaningful. At least when I went to see Comrade Stalin today, I said some of it, and some said it was a gesture, which meant that he was working hard.

I called the duty room and asked them to prepare a car. It was too early, and Varenka would definitely not be able to come. Victor needed someone to take him to the Kremlin.

After hanging up the phone, Victor put all the necessary materials into his briefcase, and then he put on his jacket and walked downstairs quickly. Comrade Stalin said he was given half an hour, but he always had to arrive as early as possible. of.

All the way downstairs, when Victor rushed downstairs, the duty room prepared for him and the car had stopped under the steps.

In the early morning of September, the temperature was a bit low, a thin layer of mist enveloped the entire tree-lined road, and the road was wet, looking like it had just passed by a sprinkler.

Victor got into the car, and when the driver started the car, he leaned his back on the seat and closed his eyes to rest. It would take about ten minutes to get to the Kremlin from here, and he could take a nap.

When Victor, who was napping, woke up again, the car had reached the entrance of the Kremlin's Kutafia Tower. Because this car was not Victor's car, it was stopped by the guards at the palace gate.

When Victor opened his eyes, two guards came to confirm his identity and opened his eyes. The two guards hurriedly saluted him. When Victor raised his hand to return the salute, he happened to see himself in the rearview mirror. A black Volga followed behind the car. Looking at the license plate, it was obviously a car of the NKVD.

The car was quickly released, and Victor turned sideways on the seat and glanced at the rear window, mainly to see who was sitting in the car behind.

The car behind was stopped by the guard of the palace gate. Obviously, the person in the car was not Comrade Beria or Serov. Otherwise, the guard of the palace gate would not stop the car, but Victor could never see that. Who is in the car.

The car quickly drove down to Comrade Stalin's office building. When Victor got out of the car, he happened to see Comrade Poskrebeshev walking out of the building with an old man.

This old man in a black suit was known to Victor. This person was Yanusz Simchak, the charge d'affaires of the Polish government in exile in Moscow. Because Moscow does not recognize the Polish government-in-exile who fled to the United Kingdom, they also have no embassy in Moscow, only such an agency.

To say that this person is an old man is actually a bit unrealistic. After all, Simchak is less than fifty years old this year. Of course, his oldness is also written on his face, and the reason why he is so old is not What an incomprehensible thing is the so-called weak country without diplomacy, not to mention that Poland now has no country. Therefore, the life of diplomats like Simchak is definitely not easy.

The driver arranged today was more sensible than Varenka. The moment the car stopped, the young man quickly ran out of the car and opened the door for Victor.

Victor got out of the car with a briefcase, and saw Simchak's eyes focus on him. He knew Simchak, and of course the other party knew him.

"Good morning," Victor greeted him with a smile when he saw him staring straight at him.

"Good morning, Mr. Victor Viktorovich," Simchak squeezed out a smile, greeted him and shook hands with him, and said, "Is there an update on the affairs of Lavalskaya?"
