Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 442: new reshuffle

In front of the clean, spotless glass window, Victor held a cigarette between his fingers in his right hand, and a document in his left hand. ring.

"Come in," replied without raising his head, Victor didn't pay attention to who was coming, but continued to turn his back to the direction of the door, looking at the documents in his hand.

"Comrade Chairman Viktor Viktorovich, Alexander Ivanovich Malenesgao reports to you!" ringing.

"Sit yourself," Victor still didn't look back, still looking at the document in his hand.

The document in his hand came from the Red Navy. It was a personnel file, and the person involved was Comrade Malenesgao who just spoke at the door.

Just last month, Viktor had just heard the name of the man in command of the "S-13" submarine that sank the "Wilhelm Gustloff" used by the Germans to divert troops and refugees "The passenger ship, which caused more than 9,000 passengers to die in the belly of the fish, created the largest shipwreck in human history. For this reason, newspapers and media in Western countries often criticize the alliance.

However, Major Malenesgao, who returned to Hanko Port, became a heroic figure. It was only because he made mistakes before that he did not receive the award, and he could only make up for it.

Who would have thought that just after the turmoil of the shipwreck of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" had passed, the public opinion of the Western countries turned to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and the rebellious submarine commander comrade let go again After receiving a satellite, he still commanded his "S-13" submarine to sink the "Admiral von Steuben" armed troop carrier in the offshore area of ​​the Baltic Sea. On this troop carrier converted from a luxury cruise ship, it carried more than 5,000 passengers, including more than 2,000 German wounded soldiers. In the end, more than 4,000 people died at the bottom of the sea.

The most outrageous thing is that the armed troop carrier "Admiral von Steuben" was not lacking in protection when the submarine under the command of Malenesgaard attacked, perhaps because of the previous "Wilhelm Gustloff". Affected by the shipwreck, the German army arranged a fleet to protect the troop carrier this time. The **** fleet included 1 "Emden" class light cruiser and 6 "Karl Garst" class destroyers.

Under the strict protection of the German army, Malenesgao commanded his submarine to take a risk and launched an attack. After the successful attack, he did not choose to dive, but increased his speed in the daze of several German warships. Swagger fled away.

In two consecutive months, two large ships of the German army were sunk successively. If the first time was lucky, then the second time cannot be said to be still lucky. There is always a technical content in it.

However, the achievement of sinking the "Admiral von Steuben" armed troop carrier still failed to be transported for Major Malenesgao. He had just returned to the port of Hanko last week when he had an affair with the military committee. Contradictions and conflicts seem to have moved hands. This incident made him bear a punishment, and he was directly revoked from the position of "S-13" submarine captain, and his rank was also reduced from major to captain. After retiring, he reported to the Red Navy, claiming that he had epilepsy and could no longer serve.

Very interested in Malenesgao and Victor. For now, Victor is preparing for the third organizational adjustment of the People's Commissariat of National Security. He is preparing to add special operations that can perform military tasks in the institutions under the Commissariat. Department.

In fact, this idea appeared in Victor's mind a long time ago, and he even made a report to Comrade Stalin, but in that report, he only proposed the formation of a special unit dedicated to special combat tasks, while at the same time , This special force mainly performs the tasks of land combat, and does not involve the combat tasks of other services.

Now, Victor has made some improvements to his ideas. He believes that the functions of this special operations department should be strengthened. The special operations forces under its jurisdiction should not only have the ability to perform land combat missions, but also have Ability to perform combat missions under special and complex terrain conditions such as underwater and air.

Victor believes that according to this line of thinking, the special operations department he proposed needs to recruit all kinds of talents in the military field, such as people like Malenesgao, just as this person has chosen to retire from active service, Victor will Moved the idea of ​​recruiting him.

Judging from the personnel files passed on by the Red Navy, the Navy's evaluation of Malenesgao is still very good. If there is any flaw in his body, it is undoubtedly the problem of his unruly personality. Oh, and aside from character, there's something wrong with his origins, he's not Russian, he's Romanian, but that's not unacceptable either.

Victor turned around after watching Malenes high of course from start to finish.

By the door behind him, Major Malenezgao was already standing there. When Victor turned around, he was looking around curiously. When Victor turned around, he hurriedly retracted his eyes and made a very calm look. .

"Have you talked to Comrade Sophia?" Throwing the documents on the desk, Victor walked back from the window and walked all the way to the front of the desk. Then he leaned back against the edge of the desk and confronted Malene who was standing at the door. Sko said.

"It has been discussed, Comrade Chairman," replied Malenesco.

Nowadays, the personnel work within the People's Commissariat of National Security has also been captured by Victor himself, but he usually does not have so much time to deal with related affairs. Therefore, most of the personnel work is still handed over to Sophia. Only some jobs that she can't handle or are not suitable for her will be handed over to Victor.

"Is there any objection to being transferred to the People's Commissariat of National Security?" Victor picked up a teacup in his hand, took a sip of water, and continued to ask blankly.

The former navy major in front of him was not a good stalker. His rebelliousness was written down in the personnel file by the Red Navy, and for such a person, it is absolutely impossible to give him a good face, so Victor had a cold face. , with a businesslike expression.

"There is no objection," said Malenesgaard, after hesitating, and finally exhaling.

Victor secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, he didn't care about the other party's willingness or not. This is the People's Commissariat of National Security, not the National People's Congress. What matters can he raise his hands to vote on? Here, orders are paramount. . Of course Malenesgaard could choose not to come, but as a former soldier, he should know what the consequences would be.

Rebellious people are not stupid, as long as they are not short-circuited, they know when they can show their rebelliousness, and when they should be restrained, and Malenesgao is obviously a rebellious one. Unruly wise man.

"It's fine if there are no objections," Victor was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He nodded and said, "The committee has already made a final decision on your arrangement. You can rest for two days until the day after tomorrow, that is..."

Turning his head and looking at the calendar on the table, he continued: "On Thursday, you will report to Odessa. The Black Sea Fleet has prepared a submarine for us at the port of Odessa. For a while, you were in charge of training the crew on the boat."

Malenisgao hesitated again, and after about two or three seconds, he straightened up, gave Victor a military salute, and said, "Yes, Comrade Chairman."

Victor nodded and waved to the other side, indicating that he could go.

Malenesco turned around and walked towards the door.

"Oh, that's right," Victor stopped him again just as he was about to reach the door.

Walking back to the inside of the desk, Victor opened the middle drawer, took out a portfolio from it, and carried it to the door.

"This is for you," Victor said, handing the portfolio to Malenesgao, "From now on, the documents in this document belong to you, and your rank is still major, national security major. "

Malenesgao took the portfolio, pursed his lips, and gave Victor a military salute again before turning around to open the door and leave.

Walking back to his desk, Victor sat back in his chair, thinking about the third reorganization of the People's Commissariat for National Security.

For now, the existence of the People's Commissariat of State Security is less of a concern, as political forces in Moscow are arguing over several post-war issues.

In particular, Comrade Zhdanov, Malenkov and Beria, who had been aggressive before, counterattacked against him at the previous Central Plenary Session. Obviously, the leader of the Leningrad faction was caught off guard, and it also caught him off guard. He is fully aware of the complexity of the situation in Moscow today.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhdanov was surprised by the independence of Woznetsensky's economic propositions, so it seems that he has not bothered to find the People's Commissar of State Security for some time now. Department of trouble.

So far, in the Secretariat of the Central Committee, the post of secretary who is mainly responsible for national security work is still vacant. Although Kuznetsov's promotion to this post is very loud and very likely, Comrade Stalin has not let go. It also makes the appointment full of variables.

However, because of this, Viktor felt the most relaxed recently, and he was able to calm down and do things well.
