Struggle in Soviet Russia

In fact, before the Tehran Conference, the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom had already had a meeting in Moscow, and at that meeting, they had already determined the issues that will be addressed in the two meetings in Cairo and Tehran.

However, Moscow lacks trust in the allies of China, the United States, and Britain. Therefore, Comrade Stalin needs to know what kind of behind-the-scenes transactions exist between the three countries behind the contents of the Cairo Conference. Moscow may not care about the issue of the Pacific War or the issue of China’s resistance to Japan, but it has to care about many issues in Northeast Asia, especially a series of geopolitical issues including the North Korean issue and the Northeast issue.

Judging from the intelligence returned by the intelligence personnel from Cairo, China, the United States and the United Kingdom have shown more restraint on the issues concerning Moscow that have clearly expressed their concerns. They have not talked too much about the Korean Peninsula issue, but on the Indo-China Peninsula. There are many issues involved.

After reading this information from beginning to end, Victor took a pen and signed his name at the end of the document. Later, the document will be sent to the Kremlin and handed over to Comrade Stalin. , After all, this is an issue that his elderly have always been concerned about.

In terms of the content of intelligence, this is a "big" document, and the amount of information involved in it is relatively large. Victor read it all in one go without consciously feeling a bit sore in his eyes. He closed the document, put it aside, stretched out his right hand over and over to open the next document, while kneading the corner of his eye with his left hand.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Victor distinguished it, and quickly locked the green phone. He reached out and took the receiver, brought it to his ear, and said, "Hey, this is Victor Viktorovich."

Soon, a mature and steady voice came out on the phone: "Hello, Comrade Victor Viktorovich, this is Konstantin Konstantinovich."

Victor changed the phone receiver to the other hand, then held the pen with his free right hand, opened the second document, and said with a smile: "Oh, hello, Constantine, I'm waiting for you. telephone."

Because he didn't take the call from Rokosovsky to heart, Victor did not pay too much attention, and his attention was mainly on the second piece of information.

The second piece of information was sent back from the Far East. It involved Victor himself. The specific point was that this piece of information was about the exchange of prisoners of war and intelligence personnel.

Earlier, with Victor's strong support, Moscow accepted the request of the Japanese to exchange captured intelligence personnel on both sides, and the exchange list proposed by the Soviet side included a series of intelligence agents including Sorge.

Before Victor clearly expressed his support, the People’s Committee for Foreign Affairs, which was responsible for this matter, actually did not agree to exchange prisoners, because the list of captured persons provided by the Japanese included several people who were very important to the People’s Committee for Foreign Affairs. Important Japanese intelligence personnel, among these people, even included a former member of the "White Guards".

However, with Victor’s clear attitude on this matter, the People’s Committee for Foreign Affairs, which was not very stubborn, chose slippers on this issue. Just yesterday, it was organized by the Far East Front and by the People’s Committee for National Security. The Ministry is responsible for the leadership, and the related prisoner-of-war exchange work has been completed on the border, including Sorge and the four alliance agents under his leadership, have been successfully exchanged back.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, such an exchange of prisoners of war is not a major event. As the chairman of the National Security People’s Committee, Victor has no reason to spend precious time focusing on such trifles. However, in Victor’s view, this The matter must not be treated as a trivial matter. On the contrary, it is necessary for the National Security People’s Committee to write a special book on this, and use this as an opportunity to do some propaganda work that is conducive to the establishment of the image of the National Security People’s Committee.

During the phone call, Comrade Rokosovsky was still talking about his ideas. As Victor had previously envisaged, the general did indeed put forward a clear request, hoping to get from the People’s Commissar for National Security in the subsequent campaign of Belarus. The cooperation of the Ministry, to put it bluntly, is the support from the special communications camp.

In this regard, Viktor will naturally have no objections. He made it clear on the phone that he would order 11 special communications battalions in the direction of Belarus to closely cooperate with the Soviet offensive.

Successfully got Victor’s promise. Rokosovsky did not hang up the phone for the first time. He chatted for a while, and finally made it clear that he would return to Moscow in the next two days. I can meet with Victor at some time to discuss the deployment of the Belarusian campaign.

Rokosovsky's phone call lasted more than ten minutes. When Victor frowned and put down the receiver, he didn't understand what the comrade general meant.

If only the cooperation from the special communications battalion is needed, Rokosovsky actually does not need to directly contact him, the chairman of the National Security People’s Committee. He can directly request Comrade Stalin or the Supreme Command. submit application.

In addition, when the call was about to end, the comrade general also mentioned that he was going to return to Moscow in the last two days, and he also said that he would discuss with him the deployment of the Belarusian campaign.

Is this a joke? Victor knows his own affairs. He has indeed commanded one or two battles, but that's it. With his military commanding ability, is he really qualified to speak up in a battle-level combat deployment? Victor was not so blindly confident.

But Comrade Rokosovsky is obviously not the kind of person who is aimless. He said so much in the conversation that Rory said so much. There must be a purpose. Then, what is his intention?

At the desk, Victor looked at the receiver that had just been put back on the phone, his brows almost gathered.

Perhaps after hearing the call, Nino walked out of the rest room. She put a cup of coffee by Victor's hand and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Ah, nothing," Victor came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled. He picked up the document he had read before and handed it to Nino. Cooperate and do a related publicity campaign."

"Propaganda activities? What is the main theme?" Nino asked curiously.

Although she is not a member of the People’s Committee of National Security, she has worked in this department for some time. In her conception, to be precise, it is in everyone’s conception, similar to that of the National Security People’s Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Departments such as the People’s Committee should be kept low-key to the greatest extent possible. It seems that such work as propaganda should not have any connection with such departments by nature.

"Heroes on the hidden front, this is the theme of propaganda," Victor thought for a while, and said, "Similar propaganda activities, we need to do more in the future. We need to establish a positive attitude among the people. image of."

"Positive and positive image?" Nino was even more confused. In the past, the NKVD did not have any positive and positive image at all. It was a violent organization that was frightening and chilling. Although the NKVD is not the NKVD, the nature of the two is similar, and to a certain extent, the NKVD is even more mysterious.

"Yes, a positive image," Victor said affirmatively. "We are an agency engaged in intelligence work. At the same time, we are also a key agency for national security. To some extent, the nature of our work is in line with the past internal affairs. The nature of the work of the People’s Committee is not very different. It is precisely because of this that we are subject to people’s suspicion and resistance."

He took the cup of coffee that Nino put down before and took a sip. Victor went on to say: "I think this situation is not good for our work, at least, it is not good for us to recruit new talents. So, through certain To change this status quo is a key issue that must be considered in our future work."

This is not an official tone. Ever since he took over the post of Chairman of the People’s Committee of National Security, Victor wanted to do this job. He even believed that it was imminent to change the external image of the People’s Committee of National Security. The time has come.

As a department with a very special nature of work, the National Security People’s Committee does need to maintain a low-key style, but low-key work style does not mean that there is no external publicity.

In fact, in Victor’s view, any state agency, especially a violent organization with a special nature of work, especially needs good external publicity. Only by maintaining a good external image can we ensure the smoothness of all work.

Take the National Security People’s Committee as an example. External propaganda can be carried out in cooperation with propaganda and agitation departments. The specific method can be filming a series of espionage TV series, or publishing some espionage and anti-intelligence. novel. By shaping a series of successful images of spy and counter-intelligence personnel, the overall image of the National Security People’s Committee can be successfully established.

This kind of propaganda work can not only let people understand the importance of this department, but also spread the common sense of anti-enemy and anti-specialty in some form. It can be said to be a good idea with multiple birds.
