Struggle in Soviet Russia

Gold, as Captain Ayoshkin said, inside the heavy iron door, in a small room, piles of gold were piled up, and they were all huge gold ingots. Under the illumination of the light, the gold ingots that stood tall like a pyre bloomed with a dazzling golden light, which was intoxicating.

Gold seems to have a nature that confuses people's minds. Although Victor has been reported before and has mental preparations, at the same time, his personality is not the type that is particularly greedy for money, but when he saw that at the door. When the stacks of gold were neatly stacked, I still couldn't help but feel a sense of rapid heartbeat.

The room inside the iron gate is really not big, at most 40 to 50 square meters. Just opposite the door, against the wall, the gold ingots are neatly stacked in two horizontal and two vertical structures. The ground was stacked up to a height of one person, forming a wall.

The wall that Victor saw was nearly two meters long. On the left and right sides, the walls of the same height were covered by dark green canvas. If nothing else, the canvas should be neatly stacked. Gold Ingot.

With a long sigh, Victor stepped through the door, walked straight to the front of the "Gold Ingot Wall", and picked up a gold ingot from the top.

The gold ingot is very heavy, and it is estimated that it should weigh more than ten kilograms. When Victor picked it up, he almost didn't let go.

"Have you weighed it?" Victor asked without turning his head, holding the gold ingot in his hand and weighing it hard.

"It's been weighed, Comrade Chairman," Ye Luoxin's voice came from behind, "each piece is nearly 28 Russian pounds."

"There are three thousand four hundred and seventy-five identical gold ingots here," Ayoshkin added.

Nearly twenty-eight Russian pounds, or more than eleven thousand grams, that one gold ingot should be about four hundred ounces, multiplied by three thousand four hundred and seventy-five... An astonishing wealth.

Victor picked up the gold brick and sent it to his eyes for a closer look.

The obverse of the gold brick has the Nazi **** and the emblem of the Reichsbank, while the reverse has the number of the gold ingot. Victor looked at the serial number carefully and found that it was five digits. It was estimated that it should be a batch of gold ingots that were smelted and cast, and not all of them were stored here.

Just when Victor was about to put the gold ingot back in its original place, he suddenly found that there was obvious dust on the front of the gold ingot.

Looking up at the roof, Victor frowned. If nothing else, the dust on the gold ingot should have fallen from the roof, and looking at the traces on the dust, above the gold ingot, the original There should be something pressing down, and the most likely possibility is that there are two identical gold ingots on top of this gold ingot. In addition, the top of these gold ingots should not have been covered by canvas, and the canvas on both sides may have been covered by someone later.

Putting the gold ingot in his hand back to its original place calmly, Victor moved to the side again, and then reached out and took out another gold ingot.

Unsurprisingly, there are also traces of dust on the top of this gold ingot, which is the same as the previous one.

He lifted the canvas covering the "Gold Ingot Wall", and Victor inspected a few more gold ingots, which finally confirmed his guess: the height of these gold ingots was not like this. Some of the gold ingots were taken away.

With a faint smile on his face, Victor turned around with the last gold ingot, glanced at the two captains who were still waiting at the door, and asked in a natural tone: "There are three thousand four in total. One hundred and seventy-five gold ingots."

"Yes, Comrade Chairman, we have already counted them," Ayoshkin replied with a nod.

"Are you sure?" Victor walked over with the gold ingot and asked with a smile.

"We've counted it many times, and it shouldn't go wrong," Ayoshkin continued.

"It should be 3,474 yuan," this time, Ye Luoxin spoke first.

"That's good," he glanced at the captain with a half-smile, Victor nodded casually, and said, "I will report to Moscow immediately and report the findings here, and at the same time, I will apply for medals for you. , comrades."

After saying this, he didn't wait for the two to make a statement, just holding the gold ingot in his hand, he walked straight out of the room and walked towards the way he came.

The gold in this bunker has been moved, and it is likely that part of it was transferred. As for who transferred it, it is difficult to say now. Of course, if Victor wanted to investigate, he would definitely find a result, but he had no intention of investigating at all.

Not to mention that the gold may have been taken by the Germans, and even if not, the person who took them was the action team commanded by Ayoshkin and the others, and Viktor did not intend to investigate further, even though those guys violated discipline.

In the wars of the past few years, the alliance has paid a heavy price, and this price can be said to be paid by everyone, which naturally includes the intelligence personnel of the People's Commissariat of National Security, people like Ayoshkin.

Of course, in terms of discipline, the Committee has nothing to make up for their efforts in the war, and Victor doesn't have that power either, but he can also choose to stand aside in certain matters. One eye closed, this is what he can do.

Why did Victor take that gold ingot? Of course he wasn't greedy for the money, but to appease Ayoshkin and the others, so that they wouldn't have to worry all day for so few pieces of gold.

As intelligence officers, Ayoshkin and the others are not fools. On the contrary, they are very shrewd. One day, they will react, knowing that Victor may have seen through their little actions, and Victor does not expect these subordinates to feel sorry for him. Well, as long as they can take this as a warning, that's enough.

......................................

Hitler said that the people around him were traitors. Of course, this statement was just a shirk. However, in Berlin in mid-to-late April, his statement could not be said to be wrong in a sense. In fact, ever since the leader decided to stay in Berlin to fight stubbornly, and destroyed all industrial facilities, cultural relics, bridges and roads, in order to drag the entire German Third Reich to his burial, he has come to a place where people are betrayed and separated. to the point.

Those who gathered around him wanted him to die quickly, but they didn't dare to kill him by themselves, so they could only pin their hopes on foreign enemies.

But it is precisely because of the cowardice of these people that the whole of Berlin was finally destroyed. The capital of the German Third Reich has now become a pile of rubble.

On the road from Angemünde to Schwetter, Viktor's jeep, escorted by two trucks, jolted eastward to Old Stettin in East Prussia.

The road running under the wheels has been completely destroyed in the war. However, it was not the shells that destroyed it, but the tracks of the tanks. I didn't know how many tanks ran over this road before. As for this road, it was completely crushed, like a wheat field that had just been turned over.

On both sides of the road, in the same smashed wasteland, there are thousands of ragged people who are Germans who have migrated from East Prussia. Although Stettin and Old Stettin are both German reservations However, these Germans who have not lost confidence in the Führer obviously prefer to live on their own territory. Therefore, without the Soviet army blocking them, they did not stay in East Prussia, but chose to continue to westward migration.

In this regard, the alliance is happy to see it.

In the back seat of the jeep, Victor was looking at some photos. These black and white photos were all taken by reconnaissance planes. The photos showed the current situation in Berlin.

Judging from the photos, the city has been completely destroyed. The dilapidated buildings are like the ruins left after the end of the human race, and there is almost no complete window to be found.

But even so, those Germans trapped in the city still seem to think they can win, and so far have not chosen to surrender.

As far as Victor knows, the Soviet troops currently encircling Berlin, including the 1st Belorussian Front and the 1st Ukrainian Front, together have more than one million troops, while the German troops who are still stubbornly resisting are only more than 100,000, ten to ten. For the Germans, this was a battle without any hope in sight.

Of course, Victor has no time to sympathize with those in Berlin right now, he has his own task to accomplish.

Before coming to Berlin this time, the People's Commissariat of National Defense had issued an order to the People's Commissariat of National Security, requesting the Foreign Intelligence Service to make every effort to find out the information on Hitler's hiding place. Comrade Stalin's personal request was that the This Nazi demon was captured alive, and the Union needed to get this guy alive to Moscow and give him a trial of the century.

If this task is placed on someone else's body, I am afraid it is not so easy to complete. After all, Hitler's hiding place is a top secret. Even within the German army, there are very few people who really know this information.

But for Victor, the difficulty factor of this intelligence is pitifully small. Although he lacked understanding of the history of the Soviet Union in his previous life, he had a very clear understanding of Hitler. He clearly remembered that Hitler was in the bunker of the Chancellor's Office. Suicide, he even remembered the exact time the guy committed suicide.

However, before submitting this accurate information, Victor had to find a plausible source for it, after all, he was no longer directly responsible for the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency.
