Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 57: Unfriendly leadership

It must be admitted that there is never a lack of unscrupulous people in this world, especially on the road of official career.

Some people rely on hard work and no complaints and win with their qualifications in their career advancement; some rely on their shrewdness and ability to win with their talents; while some people rely on framing, framed, and whole people to win.

For the last category of people, there seems to be a perceptual illusion. They always feel that if their competitors or even an unrelated person is knocked down, they will be able to reap political achievements and gain from their superiors. Favored.

The political chaos in the two years caused by the central power struggle in Moscow had a very bad impact on Soviet society, especially the official governance. Although the People’s Committee of the Interior had gone through a round of cleanup before, the remnants of this kind of thinking still exist. Yes, some people obviously haven't gotten out of this kind of thinking.

"Comrade Klitschko," not deterred by the opponent's questioning, Victor also stared at the opponent's eyes and asked, "How long have you joined the People's Committee of the Interior?"

"Don't evade the question, Captain Victor," Captain Klitschko said with a serious expression. "You have an obligation to cooperate with the Inspectorate's inquiry."

"Yes, of course I am obliged to cooperate with your inquiry," Victor said in a calm tone, raising his legs. "The committee's work manual has a clear provision for this article: The Supervision Bureau is the self-correction and self-correction of the People's Committee of the Interior. Inspection agency, you have the power to supervise and supervise the work of the committee."

After a pause, he continued: "If Comrade Captain has carefully read the work manual, he should understand that in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article 27, paragraphs 13, 19, and 33, I must It proves that when Lviv is threatened and destroyed by the enemy of the state, the confidential documents, equipment and facilities, and property resources are destroyed. Therefore, the decision I made in Lviv is strictly implemented in accordance with the provisions of the work manual. As for the dissemination of the theory of failure and the theory of retreat, I’m sorry. I am a captain of national security and belong to the People’s Committee of the Interior, not a commander of the Red Army. The morale of the combat troops is not something I need to consider. ."

"Then how did you actually prove that Lviv was threatened by the enemy of the state under the circumstances?" Captain Klitschko stopped and asked again.

"This is a repetitive and meaningless question," Victor said, spreading his hands. "If you must have an exact answer, then I can tell you that before I make these decisions, the Lviv Committee will arrange Several checkpoints in the border area were attacked by the enemy. However, I have reported this to the Kiev Committee. The committee attaches great importance to this and also believes this is a precursor to the German offensive."

"Really? But I didn't find what you said in the memo," Captain Klitschko said solemnly.

"What do you mean by not finding it?" Victor smiled, "Is it not finding the content that I reported, or not finding the part that the committee gave me affirmation? Or, do you think Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov was at the time? Still don't realize that this **** war is imminent?"

Captain Klitschko was stuck. It was obvious that for him, this rhetorical question was not easy to answer. There were pits everywhere.

The problem with the Supervisory Bureau of the People's Committee of the Interior is that it is not a Central Supervisory Committee, and it is not an organization independent of the People's Committee of the Interior. In other words, the Supervisory Bureau of the People’s Committee of the Interior of Ukraine must itself accept the leadership of the People’s Committee of the Interior of Ukraine. Not to mention that Klitschko is not the head of the Supervisory Bureau. Even if he is, he has to accept Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov. Commander, the latter can send him to the Siberian guard labor camp with just one sentence.

If there is no alternative to the war, then Victor’s rhetorical questions are meaningless. The problem is that the war has broken out, and it has been a week since the war. At this time, let’s say that the then Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov did not realize the war. The question, then... what should Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov think?

"Is there any problem? Comrade Captain Klitschko," Victor said with a smile when the other party fell into his pit. "If there are no problems, I hope I can leave here. You know, I am today. I just rushed back from the front line, and there is still no place to live."

Captain Klitschko hesitated for a moment, and finally squeezed out a smile, and said, "Of course, Comrade Victor, you can leave at any time. You don’t need to worry about what happened today. This is just a normal question. Nothing. Any purpose."

"Hehe, of course I know this is a normal inquiry," Victor stood up, stretched out his hand with a smile, poked at the other's collar, and said, "Otherwise, you are the captain, and I am also the captain, and As the head of the Lviv Committee, my rank is higher than yours. If it is not an inquiry but an interrogation, Comrade Klitschko, you have violated our rules."

After speaking, he also shook hands with the other party, turned around and walked towards the door of the room.

Coming out of the small building of the Inspectorate, although the expression on his face was calm, there were many things in Victor's mind.

He didn’t know whether this Captain Klitschko was targeting himself, or was purely looking for a framed object, or whether he was instigated by others, but from his own point of view, after being reborn in this world, he did Didn't you offend anyone? Could it be that the performance was so good that it drew the jealousy of others? Is this kind of thinking too unmodest?

Bypassing the committee building, Victor walked out from the side. There was still a distance from the place where Varenka had parked. From a distance, he saw Varenka by the car, speaking with a woman wearing a skirt made by the NKVD. .

Even though he only saw a figure from behind, Victor recognized it at a glance. The woman was Sophia who hadn't seen her in a while.

For this former subordinate, Victor still has a good impression, not the kind of good impression between men and women, but the good impression of work.

He walked quickly, and when he was about to reach the side of the car, he greeted: "Hey, Sophia, how is this a coincidence?"

Turning her head and looking at Victor, who was about to walk behind her, Sophia gave a military salute before reaching out and smiling: "Comrade Captain, it is indeed a coincidence."

After a pause, she said again: "I heard that you participated in the battle at Rudki before? How is Culkin? Is everything still safe?"

The three consecutive questions made Victor not quite sure whether she cared about herself or cared more about Culkin. Of course, after working together for so long, he also knew that the woman in front of him had a great affection for Culkin, hey, really I don't know how Culkin, who is rough-tempered and simple-minded, could gain the favor of this woman.

It's just that, in this era of war, it is really difficult for two people who have a good opinion of each other to get together.

"It's all very well, Culkin was slightly injured," Victor said truthfully, and he patted the upper part of his elbow as he spoke. "Here, he was bruised by shrapnel. In Zolochev, the internal defense regiment needs to be handed over, and he will come to Kiev when things are done."

Sophia nodded, her two plump lips squirmed, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. She hesitated for a while before she said, "Have you received a new appointment?"

"Not yet, Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov has gone to inspect the fortification area. I don't know when I will come back," Victor shrugged, and said helplessly.

Sophia looked around and said with a cautious expression: "Victor, I think it is necessary to remind you that Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov may not like you very much. I have heard many people mention this in the past few days when I arrived in Kiev. It's up."

"Oh?" Victor was a little puzzled. He hadn't had too many dealings with Kobrov. It could even be said that the phone hadn't even passed a few times. Why did the other party have opinions on him?

"Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov is a staunch supporter of the old line of defense," Sophia explained, "you know, for the past two years, he has been in charge of the construction of the old line of defense, and he himself has also invested in this work. A lot of energy."

Victor knew this. He was able to read the report on the construction of the fortification area, most of which were submitted by Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov, traversing the entire Soviet Union from the direction of Leningrad. Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov didn't know how many times the old line of defense that extended to the direction of Odessa had gone. He had raised all the problems that existed on this line of defense.

"So, the report you submitted to Moscow is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov," Sophia continued. "Although the old line of defense is abandoned, the order to build the eastern line of defense was issued by the People’s Committee of National Defense. But his dissatisfaction with you is obviously from this."

Victor was a little speechless. He didn't understand. It was obvious that the differences were caused by different positions at work. How could one have to turn to personal feelings. However, if you think about it carefully, he is also a little ashamed, because judging from the current development of the war, the original view of continuing to build the old line of defense is obviously correct, and the original report was also selfish in the end, and the purpose was only to give Add a back road yourself.

Although he thought so in his heart, Victor couldn’t really express his thoughts. He smiled pretendingly and said, “It’s okay. I believe Lieutenant Colonel Kobrov is a clear-cut person. My dissatisfaction will not be brought to work."
