Struggle in Soviet Russia

Of course, from a very realistic point of view, Mr. Stimson's proposal is only based on the interests of the United States. He does not want American lives to be wasted on the island country of Japan. Something, he can make some concessions.

But the key point is that his proposal also betrayed the interests of allies. At least in the Asian battlefield, the interests of the Chinese have been betrayed most thoroughly, because whether it is the National Government or those who stand against the National Government Another partisan group, what they need is the unconditional surrender of the Japanese, not only on the political level, but also on the level of national dignity.

However, Victor is not the head of the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs after all, and he has no position or qualifications to discuss this issue with Stimson. After all, even Moscow does not care about this issue.

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

As night fell, it was raining lightly in Berlin.

The rain was very small, the raindrops were as fine as silk, and fell on the face coolly, giving people a slightly damp feeling, and at the same time, there was also such a refreshing coolness.

Outside the Cecilinghof Palace in Potsdam, Victor stood at the gate of the barn-like palace with a cigarette in his mouth. The light as bright as day was projected from the arched palace gate, just in front of him.

A black-backed puppy, a week old at most, stood trembling under the shadow of the lamp, not knowing whether it was cold or hungry, its small body was shivering in the light, and a pair of dark eyes, pitiful. Staring at the high boots on Victor's feet, he didn't know what he was paying attention to.

"Comrade Chief, the sausage you want," just as the puppy shuddered, a guard of the Political Security Bureau in a royal blue uniform walked over quickly. He handed a delicate porcelain plate to Victor and said. .

There are several pieces of cut sausages in the porcelain plate. If you look closely, they are actually high-grade red sausages that are pure meat. In Berlin, where food is scarce today, everything that can be eaten is precious, even including this one in front of him. puppies.

Taking the porcelain plate from the guard's hand, Victor squatted down, squeezed a piece of sausage out, and tried to bring it to the puppy's mouth.

The puppy didn't talk directly. It shivered and sniffed at the sausage with its wet nose. He hesitated for a while, then tilted his head cautiously, opened his mouth sideways, and bit it with his sharp teeth. The corner of the sausage gently pulled back.

Victor let go of his hand, then put his hand on the puppy's head and rubbed it lightly.

The pup shrank its neck vigilantly, perhaps feeling that he had no malicious intentions, and then picked up the meat sausage that fell to the ground again, made a "snoring" sound in his throat, and quickly ate it.

The fur on the puppy had been wet by the rain, and it didn't feel very good to touch. Victor stroked the puppy for a while, put the porcelain plate in his hand directly on the ground, and then stood up and turned towards the light. The dark road looks far away.

At this moment, in the direction Victor was looking at, there were two lights moving towards this side from far and near. Obviously, it was a car.

After about ten seconds, the lights of the car came to the front, and finally, it stopped directly not far from Victor, the door opened, and a Soviet captain jumped out of the car.

The captain got out of the car, first gave a military salute to Victor, then walked quickly to the back of the car, opened the rear door, and took out a black briefcase from inside.

"Comrade Chief, this is the document you want," the captain said loudly as he walked in front of Victor, handing over the briefcase.

Victor raised his hand and gave the captain a military salute before taking the briefcase.

The captain apparently sent this briefcase specifically for Victor, and he waited until Victor took the bag, gave him a military salute, and then turned back to the car.

Waiting for the captain to drive away, Victor looked down at the puppy under his feet, hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

There were guards on duty at the entrance of the palace gate. By looking at the uniforms, they knew that they were from the Political Security Bureau. When Victor turned back, they just gave a military salute, but did not speak.

Victor walked all the way into the palace gate, bypassed the empty circular flowerbed, and entered the inner court facing the palace gate. It was not until he stepped into the inner court arch that he realized that the poor puppy had followed him all the way. slipped in.

Without being ruthless to drive the puppy out, Victor simply took it back to his room, and in his living room, made a temporary nest for it with the back of the sofa, allowing it to settle in his own place. down.

After settling the black-backed puppy from nowhere and giving it water, when Victor sat behind the desk in the living room, it was completely dark outside the window.

He opened the briefcase on the desk and took out the two documents inside. Victor first checked the seals on the documents and made sure that there was no problem before lighting a cigarette for himself and sealing the first document. torn apart.

With the end of the war against Germany, one of the biggest external conflicts of the alliance was resolved. As a result, many internal conflicts began to emerge. These conflicts were originally hidden under the surface of the water. A smelly feeling.

Of course, this may also be related to Victor's focus on internal intelligence work. He pays more attention to the problems within the alliance, and naturally he will find all kinds of problems.

Recently, Victor has been busy with a lot of things, such as the preparations for the Potsdam Conference, such as the Sovietization of East Prussia, and the intelligence work on Japan, etc. It was just piled up on his desk, and every item could not be ignored.

It was at this time that the work of the Internal Intelligence Bureau, the Ideological Protection Bureau, and the Spy Bureau also began to be fully carried out, and they had great results-if the results were effective, it meant that Victor had to be busy.

Today, one of the two documents was submitted by the Internal Intelligence Agency and the other was submitted by the Ideological Defense Agency.

Victor first looked at the report submitted by the Ideological Defense Bureau, and the content of this report was related to the activities of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee.

According to the description of this intelligence, within the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee of the Union, there were differences on the issue of Jewish statehood. Previously, the overwhelming majority of the committee had called for the formation of a Jewish Soviet republic in Crimea, but this demand was rejected without hesitation by Comrade Stalin.

For the past two years, despite the constant criticism of Jewish statehood in Soviet political circles, those Jews have apparently not given up on the idea, not only pushing the agenda within the Union, but also seeking support from Jewish organizations abroad. And their approach naturally made Comrade Stalin even more unhappy, so their demands began to become less and less realistic.

It is in this situation that some people put forward a second point, or a second demand, they hope that Moscow will let them go and let them go to Palestine, because they see the hope of Zionism there .

Now, there are still a limited number of people who hold this view, but this kind of voice is getting louder and louder. In addition, the Jews always like to organize some secret societies, some small societies, etc. Therefore, they naturally It has become the focus of the Ideological Defense Bureau.

However, as the chairman of the People's Commissariat for National Security, Victor is now less concerned about the Jewish issue. Of course, this less concern does not mean that he cares at all, but on his list of concerns, this issue priority is not so high.

According to the information provided by the Foreign Intelligence Service, Jews living in the Palestinian area are planning a riot. They have received the support of the Jewish community in the United States and have a certain influence in the United Kingdom.

Yes, that's right, the Jews currently living in Palestine are trying to seek independence under the British rule. At the same time, they are supported by some political forces in the UK. This seems unbelievable. , it is still reality.

This information, Viktor has already submitted to the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs, as for the response of the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs, it is not up to him to decide.

For now, the opinion of Moscow's majority is that the coalition should support the Jewish demands for statehood in the Middle East and provide them with some support. The reason why Moscow has this position is that the establishment of a Jewish state in the Middle East will directly affect the fundamental interests of the British.

As we all know, the British occupied a large number of colonies in the Middle East. Once the Jews successfully established a state, it would probably lead to a chain reaction, that is, all the overseas colonies of the British would follow this example and seek independence. Once such a situation occurs, the British power will be devastated, and the Union will eliminate one of the most competitive opponents in Europe.

Yes, even now, Moscow still regards the British as its biggest geopolitical opponent. The others, whether it is the Americans or the French who have just recaptured their homeland, are not Moscow's established opponents.

As for the second document in the briefcase, that is, the document from the Internal Intelligence Bureau, it reflects another rather serious problem, that is, the increasingly serious gang problem in the alliance social system.

In the period when Viktor was just reborn, organized crime with a gang-like nature had already posed a threat to the social stability of the Union. At that time, the NKVD took a series of actions to dispel this evil spirit. Press down.
