Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 440: middle East

Looking at the living people, they are loaded into the carriages that are like special animals for transporting animals. There are only two small windows less than half a foot square on the wooden carriages. In this harsh winter, the people in the carriages are exhausted. He tried his best to bring his sweaty faces to the small window, like a dying fish, trying his best to breathe.

Looking at such a scene, to be honest, as long as you are a normal person, you will not have any pleasure in your heart, even if you know that the people who are escorting these cars are the so-called Soviet enemies and traitors of the alliance.

As the head of the intelligence agency of the alliance, although Victor did not go to Crimea during this period of time, nor did he pay attention to the situation there, he still had a sufficient understanding of the situation there.

The Union's relocation policy towards the Tatars is not mild, which is completely different from the ethnic relocation of the Ukrainians and Poles. According to this order, the Tatars cannot even keep their personal property while relocating. They were deprived of everything and could only travel alone to a foreign land thousands of kilometers away to start anew.

In the Crimea, resistance against migration occurred all the time, but this resistance was weak, and with the cooperation of the garrison and the NKVD, all resistance was quickly strangled in a short period of time - after passing After several rebellions, the Tatars first lost their relatively independent autonomous republic, and now they even lost the ancestral land where they survived and multiplied.

However, there must be something to hate about poor people, perhaps from the standpoint of the Tatars, all they do is to seek national independence, but from the standpoint of Victor, their actions are rebellion, and those who treat rebellion are rebellious. The only means, obviously, can only be repression.

Watching the train gallop past the platform, Victor adjusted his military cap, followed behind Major Arthur, and got on the train directly from the other side of the platform.

In the wars of the past few years, as a big city only 190 kilometers away from Moscow, Ryazan has not been captured by the German army. However, this does not mean that the city has not been affected by the war. Instead, Ryazan was nearly razed to the ground during the German airstrikes. Moreover, during the Battle of Moscow, the German vanguard had almost reached the urban area of ​​Ryazan, and their offensive was finally stopped in the village of Zakharovo on the outskirts of the city, which was only 30 kilometers away from the urban area.

Viktor came to Ryazan, and the temporary residence was arranged by the Ryazan People's Commissariat of State Security led by Major Atul. Interestingly, because Ryazan is very close to Moscow, the People's Commissariat of State Security here The Ministry has a sound organization, and because it was established relatively early, its roots in the city are not deep.

Although the People's Commissariat of State Security in Ryazan did not have its own hospitality department, Arthur's energy was very great. He even arranged Victor in the Kremlin on the right bank of the Oka River.

Yes, there is also a Kremlin in Ryazan, in fact, there are many "Kremlins" in the whole union, but it is not comparable in size to the Kremlin in Moscow. Fortunately, when the Germans carried out a large-scale bombing of the urban area of ​​Ryazan, although there were air defense units stationed in the Kremlin at that time, this place was not affected by the bombing, and it is considered to be the best preserved in the urban area of ​​Ryazan. The place.

The Kremlin in Ryazan also has a huge building complex, most of which are churches, and Victor's temporary residence is the residence church of the archbishop. In this complex, whether it is the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, or The Holy Spirit Church and Epiphany Church have long been requisitioned by the post-war reconstruction committee, and they are currently used to temporarily house orphans.

In Ryazan this time, Viktor did not plan to stay for too long. According to his plan, he was going to meet Kadi Muhammad this afternoon. If everything went well, he would return to Moscow in the morning.

According to Comrade Stalin's itinerary, he will go to Crimea at the beginning of next month to participate in the confirmed summit meeting of the three countries. Before that, Victor needs to go to Crimea to make a front stop and make sure that there is no problem with security work. Therefore, his time is relatively short, and there is no extra time to waste here.

It turned out that Kadi Muhammad paid more attention to this meeting than Viktor. When he learned that Viktor had arrived in Ryazan and was about to meet him, the self-proclaimed savior of the Kurds, the "big man", had already He couldn't wait. When Victor just stayed, he rushed over impatiently and invited Victor to have lunch with him.

As Victor knew, Kadi Mohammad came to the Soviet Union this time to seek support from Moscow. However, the support he sought was not just to form a Kurdish republic in Iran, but to hold In the name of leading the Kurds to save their lives, establish a purely Kurdish autonomous republic starting from the Euphrates and the upper Tigris River to Hamadan in Iran, including southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq and western Iran, as well as parts of Syria and Armenia.

To this end, Kadi Mohammed has apparently done a lot of work, submitting a document to Moscow outlining his ideas and plans for a Kurdish state in Kurdistan. According to him, the Kurds have suffered extensive discrimination and persecution in the Middle East for a long time. Therefore, the problems faced by the Kurds are neither social nor religious. Fundamentally speaking, it is a national The only way for the Kurds to get rid of such problems is to create a nation-state of their own.

When Victor first saw the document, it seemed vaguely familiar, and then he remembered that it was very similar to Herzl's The Jewish State, and he was almost certain that Cardi? Some of Muhammad's ideas should be derived from that book.

But having said that, the situation faced by the Kurds in the Middle East is indeed quite similar to that of the Jews, but their situation is not as bad as that of the Jews. At the same time, the Kurds are not as influential in the world as the Jews.

It was also in the report submitted by Kadi Muhammad that Victor learned that, according to Kadi Muhammad himself, the "Kurdish National Salvation Committee" had done a lot of work in the military. A paramilitary force with a size of more than 40,000 people has been established. What they lack now is military assistance from the alliance. If possible, the alliance would better provide them with some experienced commanders and military advisers. train their army.

Walking beside the Dormition Cathedral with five domes, Victor looked at the Oka River in the distance, and listened to the middle-aged man in a turban next to him.

At this time, there were two people beside him. The one in the turban was named Mustafa Barzani. He was the Kurdish chief of the Barzan region. Since ten years ago, he has frequently organized rebellions. It was Khadi Muhammad's side who was really in charge of commanding the army.

In the world before Viktor's rebirth, people were known as the "Barzani" son, Massoud Barzani, as the chairman of the Kurdish Democratic Party, he once appeared in the American "Time" because of He led the Kurds in Iraq against Saddam Hussein.

The one walking on Victor's right was also a middle-aged man. However, unlike Barzani, this middle-aged man did not wear a headscarf. On the contrary, he was dressed in a very westernized way, with a decent suit and tie. , which made him look polite, like a scholar.

This person is the chief of the Kurdish people in Mahabad, Kadi Mohammad.

The three walked side by side, and what Barzani introduced to Victor was the current situation of the Kurds in Mahabad.

According to Barzani, the Kurdish armed forces in Mahabad are now developing rapidly, and 40,000 young people are ready to fight for Kurdish independence. Previously, during the withdrawal of the Iranian army, they obtained a Weapons, thus laying a fairly good foundation for the Kurds to seek national independence. But if they want to fight against Tehran, they still need support from the alliance, especially in terms of heavy weapons, they have almost nothing.

All in all, from the mouths of Barzani and Kadi, Victor got the information that the Kurds have made all preparations, as long as the weapons provided by the alliance are in hand, they will be able to conquer the world.

But in fact, according to the information Viktor has obtained, the situation on Mahabad is obviously not as optimistic as the two people summed up. In fact, on the issue of national independence, the Kurds have not reached a real unity among themselves. opinion.

The situation of the Kurds is very complicated. In the "Kurdish National Salvation Committee" organized by Kadi, members come from all over the Middle East, for example, some from Comala, some from Mahabad, and some from Barzan, Etc., etc. These people were either big businessmen or tribal chiefs before. They had various interests and positions with each other, and there were many issues that could not be discussed at all.

The most important thing is that the Kurds are poor. Among these big businessmen and tribal chiefs who have gathered together, there is really no lack of illiterate existence, and the so-called political experience is not at all. Kadi pinned their hopes on this. As a group, it's hard for Victor to be optimistic about their future.
