Struggle in Soviet Russia

The small-scale battle on the outskirts of the woodland came to an end after two Soviet armored vehicles drove past. The Germans who attacked the castle abandoned four or five corpses on the lawn, and the rest fled into the woods. These lucky guys may go to attack other places, or they may take off their military uniforms and completely turn back into ordinary Germans.

Of course, it is impossible for Victor to pay attention to the future of these little people. Now, it is difficult for him to put his attention on a specific ordinary person.

"Report! Comrade Chairman, the latest information from Moscow!" The voice of the signal trooper came from behind.

Standing next to the arrow stack, Victor didn't turn his head. He just lifted his right hand holding the cigarette and swayed it casually over his shoulder, which meant that the signal soldier would just put down the information.

The signal trooper who delivered the information obviously understood what he meant. After the short footsteps, the terrace was quiet again.

Victor waited until he had finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, then turned around and glanced at the chair behind him, only to see that on the old-fashioned reclining chair, there was already a stack of thick documents.

There was a time when Victor was very resistant to looking at documents because it was boring, boring, and very tiring, but over time, he has gradually become accustomed to it. With this way of working, after all, with his current identity and status, he has no chance to go to the front line to preside over a specific work. More, his will is implemented in the form of documents.

First, he winked at the guard with the gun, and then Victor waved at the maid again, indicating that the two could leave. After that, he waited until the two disappeared on the terrace steps before He walked back to the reclining chair and reached out to pick up the document on it.

Although his current task is to deal with the Sovietization and transformation of East Prussia, the chairman of the People's Commissariat of State Security is still in his hands. Therefore, information from Moscow is handed over to him every day. , and he makes the final handling opinion.

Holding those documents in his hand, Victor looked at the cover of the top one, turned sideways, and sat down on the reclining chair.

The first document was sent back from Switzerland and submitted by the Bernese intelligence station. When he saw the cover of this document, Victor knew what the intelligence was about.

As early as nearly two months ago, Moscow received information from the US ambassador Harriman that in Bern, Switzerland, US intelligence personnel were in secret contact with a high-ranking German SS, about the surrender of German troops in Italy. issues are negotiated. Although this negotiation has not yet entered the final stage, and no real agreement has been reached, Washington is very confident in this contact, and believes that the Allied forces should accept the surrender of German troops in Italy within limited conditions.

The reason why the Americans informed Moscow of this news was because the heads of the three countries had agreed long ago that none of the major allies could privately sign any form of peace agreement with the fascist countries.

However, despite being briefed by the Americans, the Foreign Intelligence Service strengthened its infiltration and understanding of the incident, and eventually got some inside information.

The high-ranking German SS officer mentioned by the Americans in the bulletin was the head of the SS Italian front, and at the same time, within the SS, his status was second only to Himmler and Carl den Bruner. Wolfe.

In fact, the contact between the Americans and Wolfe has already started since the beginning of the year. Not only have they had many contacts with each other, but, in order to gain the trust of the Americans, Wolff has also done a lot for the Americans. a lot of things.

The reason why Wolfe contacted the Americans was because he saw the inevitability of the defeat of the German fascists, and therefore wanted to leave a way out for himself, which both Washington and Moscow were well aware of. , Taking into account the reality of Italy, mainly the lack of influence of the Soviet army in the Italian peninsula, therefore, Moscow recognized Washington's opinion and accepted the request of the United States and Wolff to reach an agreement on the surrender of the German army in Italy.

But this incident later became a wave. Wolff was a little bold, or he thought a little too much. After confirming that the United States decided to accept his surrender, he was eager to express himself, and he thought of winning over the German Southern Theater. Commander-in-Chief Albert Kesselring's plan, and he made it happen.

Afterwards, Kesselring was transferred to Western Europe and assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the Western Front. Wolf felt that his opportunity had come. He wanted to play the game a little bigger, so he mobilized Himmler again. The idea of ​​surrendering to the US military.

Now, the information provided by the Bern Intelligence Station is the secret information about the negotiations between the Americans and Wolfe. According to the document in the hands of Victor, the person responsible for the direct negotiations with Wolff is the head of the US intelligence service in Switzerland. Weber, and the real leader of this negotiation is Joseph Donovan, the head of the US Strategic Intelligence Agency.

Recently, the negotiations between Weber and Wolfe have made great progress. It is said that Himmler has decided to surrender to the British and American allies. At the same time, he also provided information to the British and American allies that Hitler had already Decided to commit suicide before defeat. Himmler's idea was to surrender to the British and American allies as soon as Hitler committed suicide, but before that, he needed more time.

After reading the first document, Victor closed it again and thought for a while with his eyes closed. Then, he took a pen from the chair beside him and signed the instructions at the end of the document.

In Viktor's opinion, it was necessary to submit this information immediately to Comrade Stalin and to copy a copy to Comrade Molotov of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs.

From the perspective of the alliance, Moscow should not allow the United Kingdom and the United States to talk to Himmler and others alone. Previously, it was one thing for Moscow to allow Wolff to surrender, but Himmler was another.

In the past few years of war, the SS has committed too many crimes on the territory of the Union, including Himmler, many high-ranking SS, are the goals of the Union will be liquidated after the war, In contrast, Wolff has been working in Italy, so the league is not so concerned about him.

In addition, the premature surrender of the German troops on the western front to the British and American allies is obviously not in the interest of the alliance. In Moscow's view, the resistance of the German troops on the western front should be more tenacious. After all, it can not only slow down the British and American allied forces to Berlin The speed of advancement, at the same time, can also bring losses to Britain and the United States to a certain extent.

The instructions given by Victor at the end of the intelligence was to suggest that the information involved in this intelligence should be exposed through the media, so that the people in Britain and the United States would know that their leaders were planning to fight with Hitler's biggest and most cruel one. The devil negotiated, the devil who slaughtered countless Jews in the wars of the past few years.

Now there is reason to believe that once this news is announced, both the British government with Churchill as prime minister and the US government with Truman as president will be in a lot of trouble, especially the former, who is facing a new election, Churchill, It is very likely that he will lose the Prime Minister's throne because of this. Of course, if nothing else, he should also be the Prime Minister.

Putting aside the documents that had been instructed, Victor took the second document.

The second document is from the Washington Intelligence Station.

Previously, among the intelligence stations stationed by the Foreign Intelligence Service in the United States, the New York intelligence station was the largest and most powerful. Although the Washington intelligence station had been established long ago, its personnel was limited and its influence was only average.

However, in recent months, Washington's intelligence station has developed very rapidly, and a series of intelligence personnel are infiltrating the intricate intelligence agencies of the United States, especially in "KSt".

The so-called "KSt", also known as K Street in Washington, is a lobbying street. On this street, a large number of political lobbying companies in the United States gather.

To be honest, before Roosevelt came to power, there were not many lobbying companies on K Street, and their influence was not very big, but after Roosevelt implemented the New Deal, the street quickly became noisy, and its role in American political life The role played is also becoming more and more important.

It is based on this, under the order of Victor, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau specially increased the intensity of infiltration into K Street, the purpose is to establish its own agent group on K Street with sufficient funds, on the one hand, to obtain information, On the other hand, it is to infiltrate influence into American politics.

Since the U.S. intelligence agencies have not paid attention to this aspect at present, the related infiltration work is very smooth, and there is almost no difficulty at all.

Sitting on the reclining chair, Victor found a comfortable position before opening the second document.

Interestingly, the content of the second document has a lot to do with the first document. The intelligence mentioned in it is also related to the US intelligence agencies, to be precise, it is related to Joseph Donovan's Office of Strategic Intelligence is closely related.

According to the intelligence, since Roosevelt's death, Truman accepted the job of the interim president, and the Strategic Intelligence Agency led by Joseph Donovan has been questioned by the White House.

Truman and Roosevelt have completely different personalities. The latter can accept and take many compromises and methods for the smooth operation of relevant policies and work, but the former is much stronger in character and belongs to the kind of people who don’t rub the sand in their eyes. host.
