Struggle in Soviet Russia

Ryazan.

It was noon and lunch time, and the pattering light rain was still kissing the city.

In front of the statue of Lenin on Moscow Street, a man in a gray shirt who should be less than 40 years old, holding a gray umbrella, came out of a state-run store on the side of the street, and his pace suddenly stopped. Down.

This street is very wide. The reason why it is called Moscow Avenue is because it really leads to the capital Moscow, which is more than 200 kilometers away. Therefore, there are a lot of vehicles on this road, and most of them are It is a military vehicle.

The reason why the man stopped was because he noticed that two suspicious people were looking at him from a distance right in front of him. Even though these two men were dressed in casual clothes, the man could still feel it from them. The breath of danger.

Standing in place, he hesitated for a moment. The man grasped the briefcase in his hand and turned directly around, preparing to walk towards the other side of the road. But at the moment he turned around, he saw a place not far behind him. Two people walked towards them, their bodies also had a dangerous aura.

The man looked around and suddenly found that suspicious people were watching him in almost every direction. He had no way to escape. Perhaps knowing that he couldn't have any future, the man dropped the briefcase in his hand and quickly took out a transparent glass medicine bottle from his pants pocket.

There were two white pills in the medicine bottle, but the man was so nervous, his hands trembling so much that when he unscrewed the bottle cap, he missed the bottle and dropped it to the ground.

The bottle fell to the ground and fell to pieces, and the two pills bounced and rolled away. The man then fell to the ground, trying to pick up the pill, but at this moment, the suspicious people around had pounced on him and pressed him firmly to the ground.

Facts have proved that at least in the Soviet Union, when all the violent machines led by the NKVD are operating at the same time and working hard for the same goal, no one can escape the capture of this giant net.

Poporov fled from Moscow. He changed his status and ran to Ryazan by train. As a result, he had just completed a meeting with the connector lurking in Ryazan. Before he could go far, he was opposed by the NKVD Ryazan. Captured by spy agents. Also arrested with him was a German intelligence team lurking in Ryazan.

Subsequently, the director of the Ryazan Counterintelligence Bureau, Kydya Turin, personally led the team, with nearly 30 armed escorts, and quickly escorted a group of people, including Poporov, to Moscow.

Late at night, Moscow.

Victor, who was asleep, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Opening his eyes, the dim light in the office with only the lamp on made him feel confused for a moment.

The knock on the door sounded again, dispelling Victor's moment of confusion. He sat up from the small bed in the lounge, looked at his watch first, and found that it was just eleven o'clock.

"Come in," Victor said while putting on his shoes with a dry cough.

Perhaps it was because of smoking too much. Right after waking up, his throat was extremely dry, and there was a burning feeling, which was very uncomfortable.

The door was pushed open, and a female soldier in a skirt walked in and said, "Comrade Chief, the interrogation has a result."

Victor stood up, picked up a glass on the side of the table and left it cold overnight, and drank it directly. Then he walked to the female soldier, took the document she had handed over, and asked, "Where is the person?"

"In Interrogation Room 4," the female soldier said.

Victor nodded and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Coming out of the office, Victor walked through the corridor and down the stairs while looking at the documents in his hand, to the prison in the mezzanine.

The document sent by the female soldier was Poporov’s confession. In this confession, he admitted that he was a German spy. A huge intelligence network in Vanovo and other places. At the same time, he also admitted his role in the Lower Oguliki bombing and explained the detailed process of the crime.

Seeing this confession, Victor breathed a sigh of relief. He wouldn't care about the authenticity of the confession, let alone try to explore it. According to Sophia's suggestion, that is not what he should be concerned about.

As always, the underground area of ​​the prison was deserted. Except for neuroses and interrogators, no one would like this ghastly place.

However, outside the door of Interrogation Room No. 4, many people stayed. In addition to the relevant interrogators, there were also a few members of the committee who had heard the news and rushed to see the bustling committee. Sophia was also here.

Seeing Victor coming, everyone gave way to him and made room for the door.

But Victor didn't enter the door. He just glanced inward at the door and saw the Poporov.

At this time, Poporov can no longer see his original face. He is almost naked, covered with blood and bruises. A doctor is bandaging his calf-the NKVD has always There is no shortage of cruel interrogators. If nothing happens, Poporov's injured calf should be abolished.

Victor had seen this torture technique. The prisoner would be tied to a fixed iron chair. The torturer would inject anesthetics into his calf, then cut the flesh of her calf and pick out the tendons under his skin. In this process, the prisoner will not feel physical pain, but the mental stimulation is really enough to make people crazy.

Staring at Poporov in the room for a while, Victor swiped the material in his hand and threw it into the interrogation room. As the material fell to the ground with a slap, he turned around and glanced blankly at the surrounding The people around asked: "Who is in charge of the interrogation?"

"Report to Comrade Director, it's me," a middle-aged man stood up and replied with some trepidation.

"Good job," Victor looked at each other, nodded, and said, "However, it is not detailed enough. I want to know how he arranged people to enter the warehouse area, who provided convenience for him, not to mention Zuozu. Ashvili alone, that doesn’t make sense. You need to ask clearly who among the guards and staff in the reservoir area has accepted his benefits and who has provided him with help. These are all very critical, understand? "

"Yes, Comrade Director," the middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and said, "I will..."

"Go and do something," Victor said before he was finished, "I will see the result in half an hour."

Half an hour, it seems that the time is short, but for a prisoner whose mouth has been pried open, in the case of a mental breakdown, the interrogator will answer whatever he asks him, and even ask him to say What he will say.

Victor did not wait for half an hour at all. Only ten minutes later, he got what he wanted-a list of all the guards and staff of the Kurdish area who had contact with Poporov, no matter what Have these people accepted his benefits? Anyone who can be named is all on this list.

The next thing is simple. Victor’s order is issued, requiring the Counter-Spyware Bureau to cooperate with the Civil Police General Bureau, and follow the picture to arrest people according to the list. Anyone on the list, no matter which department belongs to, will be arrested first. At the same time, he himself took the case file to the Kremlin.

So, in the early hours of the morning, Moscow was awakened by the harsh sirens of the police car of the Civil Police Headquarters. Hundreds of civilian police were dispatched and, with the cooperation of the counterintelligence bureau personnel, arrested people everywhere. The same arrests are not limited to Moscow. At the same time, in Vladimir, Ivanovo and other places, similar arrests are also being carried out at the same time.

In this large-scale arrest operation, more than a dozen people who belonged to the Political Security Bureau were included. According to the general default procedure, no matter which department of the People’s Committee of the Interior If you take action, you won't make things too exciting.

In other words, at this time, Victor should first contact the Political Security Bureau and ask the other party to send the people involved. Limit the impact to a minimum.

But this time, Victor was obviously not interested in abiding by this imperceptible rule. He did not even greet the Political Security Bureau, so he directly arranged for someone to rush into the family residence of the Political Security Bureau, where the five persons involved in the case would live in it. Taken away with their family members.

Moscow says that it’s not small, but it’s not too big to say that it’s big, especially for those who are well-informed. The news of the NKVD’s implementation of the large arrest mission overnight did not even arrive for half an hour. It was spread everywhere.

Many people don’t know what happened. Some people know some, but they only know that this arrest is likely to be related to the previous bombings. Therefore, panic is inevitable, especially from the Political Security Bureau, Gotzmano. Colonel Hu was directly awakened from his sleep by his subordinates' phone calls. Many people were asking him what happened and why more than a dozen people were arrested at the same time in the Security Bureau without their knowledge in advance.

Considering that there was only one major purge in the past few years, this situation tonight is really a bit scary.

Of course, Getzmanov didn’t know what was going on. He tried to call Victor, but he couldn’t get through. He also found out about the situation through other channels, only to know that the chief messenger of the bombing had been arrested. Some people related to him were recruited, including some from the Political Security Bureau.

At this time Comrade Gotzmanov was completely unable to sit still. He felt that he had to go to see Comrade Stalin immediately, whether it was a review or a confession, at least to stand firm before speaking, otherwise, the consequences would be difficult. Expected.
