Struggle in Soviet Russia

Victor didn't know much about Gromagin, except that he was affiliated with the Homeland Defense Air Force and was the Deputy People's Commissar of National Defense in charge of air defense work. During the Moscow campaign, he effectively organized the air defense work in Moscow, which made Stalin Comrade is very satisfied.

"Gomakin has done intelligence work," Beria continued. "He served in the General Staff Intelligence Service, but for a very short time."

Victor nodded, he understood why Beria was afraid of this person, because the Ogolitsov he recommended, although he was born in the NKVD, he had never been in charge of intelligence work, nor even did Things related to intelligence work.

Everyone knows the character of Comrade Stalin. When he decides on a cadre candidate, he seldom considers sympathy, and often depends on the other party's resume and ability. Compared with Gromagin, who has done intelligence work, Austrian Gorizov's weakness is obvious.

"Besides," Beria continued, turning his head to look at Viktor, "Gomakin once worked with Comrade Shaposhnikov, and Comrade Shaposhnikov spoke highly of him. It will also have an impact on Comrade Stalin's decision."

Victor nodded in agreement.

There is no doubt that Marshal Shaposhnikov had a profound influence on Comrade Stalin, and as a military general, he is the only person who has ever been respected by Comrade Stalin, even though he died a few months ago , but this influence should not dissipate.

Zhdanov's choice to recommend Gromagin is really enough to pose a sufficient threat to the candidates recommended by Beria.

"I'm not very familiar with Gromagin, and I need to know about his situation later," Victor thought for a while, and said, he knew that Beria should also hope that he would make such a statement.

Why does Victor want to know about Gromagin? It's like he needs to know about Ogoltsov. When recommending Ogoltsov to Comrade Stalin, he needs to be able to say the reasons for recommending this person, such as what kind of person this person has in taking the job advantages and so on. Likewise, if Viktor wants to deny Gromagin, he will naturally have to give reasons why he is inappropriate, which also requires him to understand the person's situation.

Beria nodded, in response to what Victor said.

At this time, Varenka just drove the car out of the Kremlin. The guard at the gate of the palace saluted the two people in the car. Because Beria was wearing casual clothes, he just nodded to the outside of the car, and then he went back again. Turning around, he said to Victor: "Georgi has encountered a lot of trouble recently, and many central committee members have criticized his work style and attitude."

After a pause, he seemed to be preparing for words, and after a while, he continued: "Georgi has indeed had some problems in his cadre work in the past few years, and no one will evade this, including Georgie himself. .But in the wars of the past few years, the situation we faced was very clear, no one could take into account all the problems in all aspects under the circumstances at that time, it was like making a blueprint, not only requiring technical feasibility , there must be political slogans that can mobilize enthusiasm, and at the same time, we must pursue timeliness, so many requirements are in front of us, many times, there are some trivial things that we will always ignore.”

Victor's expression was serious, but he felt a little funny in his heart. To be honest, it's not because he thinks highly of himself, it's because Comrade Beria chooses to give an example and won't choose. He said that to make a blueprint, it is not only technically feasible, but also political slogans. Well, this is what Comrade Lenin said to Comrade Krzyzanovsky, who was the first planner of the alliance. Commissioner.

As for the criticism that Comrade Malenkov has faced recently, it is basically led by the Planning Commission. To put it bluntly, it was launched by Comrade Woznesensky, and behind Comrade Voznesensky, It was Zhdanov.

It must be admitted that after Comrade Woznetsensky took over the work of the Planning Commission again, some potential problems of the Union during the war were identified. Moreover, Woznetsensky seems to be intentionally expanding. As for the authority of the Planning Commission, he seems to want to reach out to any department that involves government affairs.

Of course, if Viktor was judged by his own preferences, he would have preferred to work with someone like Woznetsensky, regardless of his position, or whether the one he espoused was in line with The reality of the alliance, at least, this person is really doing things, and he is scientific in employing people, that is, using professional people to be responsible for professional things.

But having said that, Beria's complaints are not without reason, at least in the matter of criticizing Malenkov, some people have indeed gone too far.

During the war of the past few years, Malenkov was in charge of the aviation industry, and as Beria said, the Soviet army lost almost all air supremacy in the early days of the war. According to the statistics of the General Staff, in the six months of 1941, the Soviet Army lost more than 10,000 aircraft in combat. If the non-combat losses were counted, the loss was nearly 18,000. In 1942, nearly 15,000 were lost, and in 1943, nearly 20,000...

In order to stop the German offensive and ensure that the ground corps does not fall into a disadvantage in the face of the German attack, the Soviet air force must maintain efficient combat capabilities. If the aircraft is lost, it must be made up in the shortest possible time.

Under such circumstances, even without considering the fact that before the end of 1942, the military-industrial enterprises transferred by the Soviet Army to the eastern region had not fully resumed work, and merely making up for the annual shortage of combat aircraft was a terrifyingly difficult task.

As the person in charge of the aviation industry, even if Malenkov did not complete the task well, at least he basically completed the task. As for the aircraft quality problems that occurred in the process, the problem of replacing scientific methods with administrative orders , to be honest, should be considered a secondary issue.

The Planning Commission is now using these issues to attack Malenkov, saying that his work has resulted in a waste of national wealth, unnecessary sacrifice of pilots, etc., etc. But then again, isn't the war itself a waste?

While such thoughts were spinning in his mind, a flash of light suddenly flashed in front of him, and Victor felt a chill in his neck subconsciously.

At this moment, he suddenly realized a problem, maybe... Of course, it's just maybe, maybe the series of troubles that Comrade Molotov has faced recently is not against him by Zhdanov, but ......

His gaze swept past Bellia's frowning brows, but Victor said nothing.

As I said before, Comrade Stalin never made any statement on the issue of Malenkov and Molotov. Therefore, this kind of noise is of little significance. However, if it goes on like this for a long time, God knows what will happen. kind of results.

"Comrade Stalin hopes to arrange for you to go to Karelia to preside over work," Beria's brows stretched slightly, and then he changed the subject again and said, "You should already know this news, right?"

"I know," Victor said, nodding.

He always felt that Beria's mood was a little out of place today. His words seemed to lack logic, and he seemed restless and distracted, which was completely inconsistent with his usual temperament.

"Comrade Malenkov has reminded me before," Viktor said, "and when I met Comrade Stalin before, he also let me know more about the situation there, and said that he would arrange for me to go there to execute a research tasks."

Beriawei nodded and said: "The opinion of the People's Committee is to build the Karelia-Finnish Soviet Republic into a window area facing the three Nordic countries. Comrade Stalin supports this opinion. Therefore, in the future two In three years, your task is to give top priority to the economic and social construction of Karelia, and to make sufficient achievements in both areas."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Victor and said: "At the same time, you must also be mentally prepared, that is, in this process, the support you can get from Moscow and the Planning Commission may be It's pretty limited, and that's definitely a downside for your job, but you also have to figure out how to fix it and not let it trip you up."

Victor had already considered this issue for a long time, and he knew that there was a very disadvantageous factor for him to preside over local work now, and that was the State Planning Commission under the control of Woznetsensky.

Kareliana, although not to mention the ruins, is almost the same. If you want to do a good job in the post-war recovery work, and at the same time, you will be able to carry out economic construction, then the basic funds are indispensable. Considering that the allocation of funds is managed by the Planning Commission, Victor knew that he would have to deal with Woznetsensky in the future.

"I'm mentally prepared, Lavrenji," Victor said, pursing his lips. "For me, this should be the best opportunity to exercise."

Beria looked him up and down, but said nothing.

In fact, in the alliance between Malenkov and Beria, Victor has always had a closer relationship with Malenkov. As for him and Beria, there seems to be an inexplicable estrangement. In Victor's own opinion, this It may be related to his conflict with Beria at the beginning.
