Struggle in Soviet Russia

Oder-sur-Oder, Breslau.

It was in the afternoon, when the temperature was the highest in the day, on the bank of the Oder River, every three or four meters, a Soviet soldier with a gun was guarding there, watching the jungle below the bank vigilantly, as if afraid of fear. Someone suddenly rushed out of the woodland and launched an attack.

On the clear river, a figure was swimming leisurely. This person used a backstroke style to swim from the river side to the other side, and then slowly swim back from the other side of the river. After a back and forth, with a somewhat tired gesture, he struggled back to the shore.

It was Viktor who was swimming. Seeing him come up from the water, Varenka hurried up to meet him, handed over a bath blanket, and said at the same time, "The latest news from Moscow has arrived."

Victor nodded, draped the bath blanket over his body, walked barefoot on the river bank, and climbed towards the top of the base slope.

On the baseline of the river bank, an awning was erected early, and a white beach chair was placed under the shed. In addition, there was a simple coffee table.

Victor walked under the shed, first glanced down at the documents on the coffee table, and then said to Varenka, who was following him, "Who sent the documents?"

"A Pole," Varenka said, shrugging, "said he came from the Breslau interim local government."

Victor nodded, took the bath blanket off his back, threw it directly on the beach chair, then bent down and sat down, first took a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, lit one for himself, and then put the Bring a document.

"Drip..."

At this moment, on the Breslau Bridge not far away, the whistle of a car could be heard in the distance.

Victor was about to open the file when he heard the whistle and looked up in the direction of the bridge.

At this time, I saw that the direction of the bridge was crowded with people, passers-by driving ox carts and carriages, refugees carrying large and small bags, beggars in ragged clothes, and the whole road was heavily congested. These are the Germans who migrated westward from Breslau to the west of the Oder and Ness rivers.

Just four days ago, the Potsdam Conference ended successfully, and the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom made a final resolution on the German issue. Among them, the issue of the redistricting of the German-Polish border also had a final result, and this new border , is the Oder-Ness line. According to this new border division, Germany lost most of West Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia and Silesia, and as the sixth largest city in Germany, Breslau was also allocated to Poland and became the territory of Poland. an important city.

After the Soviet army occupied Breslau, there were more than 600,000 Germans in the city. Now, the control of the city has been handed over to the Polish Provisional Government. Poland controls the city. The People's Army, in order to accept the city as soon as possible and "dig it up" completely, the Poles began to implement a policy of expulsion of the Germans living in the city. Of course, Breslau is not the only place that adopts a similar expulsion policy. In the entire Silesia region, such policies are being systematically implemented. The Polish Provisional Government hopes that on the basis of expelling the Germans, the Migrate more Poles.

While adopting the national migration policy, the Polish Provisional Government also carried out a real-time liquidation campaign against the German Nazis in the Silesia region. During World War II, the region was under the jurisdiction of the so-called "Lower Silesia Nazi Party Region" as a response to the Nazi persecution of Poland during the war. People's retaliatory measures, with the cooperation of the Polish People's Army of the Polish Provisional Government in all parts of Silesia, wantonly searched for members of the Nazi Party and SS. was executed centrally.

During the last few years of war, and during the time it ended, all of Europe seemed to be one giant killing field, fascist side and anti-fascist side, you kill me, I kill you, and each other The blood was poured into rivers, and the bones were everywhere, and from the current situation, it is clear that this killing has not reached the final moment. It may continue for a while until the countries that were once occupied by the Germans completely vent their accumulated resentment. until it comes out.

Looking back, Victor found a comfortable position, lay down on the beach chair under him, and with a bit of laziness, opened the document in his hand.

As soon as the thick document was opened, several photos slipped out of it and landed on Victor's side. He twisted around, picked up the photo, and glanced at it roughly.

The photo was obviously taken by an aerial camera, and the above picture is a large area of ​​ruins overlooking the city from high altitude, charred tree trunks, telephone poles, ruined buildings, broken buildings, black mountains, etc., etc., Everything seems to prove that the place where the photo was taken is the **** that exists in reality.

Of course, Victor knew that this place wasn't called Hell, it was called "Hiroshima", to be precise, Hiroshima Prefecture. Just yesterday morning, the Americans threw a nuclear bomb over the city, and these images captured by aerial photos are the tragic scene of the city after it was hit by a nuclear bomb.

Victor knew that the People's Commissariat of National Defense had reviewed this information and the photos involved, as well as Comrade Stalin himself. This was also the first time the world had intuitively understood the true power of nuclear bombs. According to foreign intelligence According to the information sent by the Bureau from Japan, the specific number of casualties in the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima has not yet been counted, but one thing is certain is that within 12 kilometers from the nuclear explosion point, few people can escape. Therefore, the estimated death toll should be around 100,000 people.

After the news reached Moscow, the People's Commissariat of National Defense's emphasis on nuclear weapons research and development projects has once again reached a new level. It is rude to say that the successful research and development of nuclear weapons has been ranked first in the main work of the alliance at present. Its important In terms of material supply, nuclear weapons research and development has been prioritized ahead of all work, according to the latest order issued by the People's Commissariat of National Defense.

In addition, the report on the theory of "nuclear blackmail" submitted by Victor was also taken out by Comrade Stalin and discussed at the committee meeting of the People's Commissariat of National Defense. It is certain that Victor The proposed theories of "nuclear blackmail" and "nuclear balance" have already occupied a very important position in the alliance's nuclear weapons policy.

The nuclear bomb dropped by the Japanese on Hiroshima did have a very direct impact on a series of policies of the alliance. The huge power of the Hiroshima nuclear explosion shocked the core leadership of the alliance. To put it more directly, the Kremlin was indeed Frightened by the tragedy in Hiroshima, therefore, in yesterday's meeting of the People's Commissariat of National Defense, among the decisions made by the alliance, in addition to accelerating the speed of the alliance's nuclear weapons research and development, there is also a decision, that is, in Europe and the Middle East. On a series of issues, a relatively conservative "defensive posture" was adopted, so as not to directly affect the normalization of relations with the United States, thus triggering conflicts between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Yes, there was no nuclear balance between the Soviet Union and the United States when the Americans already had nuclear weapons and the alliance did not, so Moscow had to take more steps on many issues in order to avoid a nuclear attack. Conservative, cautious, and, to put it bluntly, strategically must remain on the defensive until the coalition acquires its own nuclear weapons and thus strikes a nuclear balance with the Americans.

However, Victor has great confidence in the future of the alliance, because although the Americans have achieved a first-mover advantage in the research and development of nuclear weapons, the alliance has not lagged far behind in related aspects. In terms of delivery methods, the Alliance's rocket research and development work has taken the lead. Judging from the intelligence held by the Foreign Intelligence Service, the American research in this area has just begun.

It is foreseeable that once the alliance's nuclear weapons are successfully developed and sufficient progress has been made in the research and development of rocket propulsion technology, the alliance will surpass the United States in the contrast of strategic weapons and thus constitute a first mover for the United States to a certain extent. Advantage.

Closing the first document in his hand and putting it aside, Victor took the second document.

The second document is related to yesterday's committee meeting of the People's Commissariat of National Defense. It involves the latest decision made by the People's Commissariat of National Defense, which is to formally declare war on Japan and launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army in northeastern China in the Far East. The final decision to attack.

The nuclear bomb dropped by the Americans on Hiroshima not only changed the alliance's direct attitude towards nuclear weapons research and development, but also affected the alliance's decision to declare war on Japan. In Moscow's view, with the detonation of this nuclear bomb, the The bureau is not far from the date of the final surrender of the Japanese. If the alliance does not hurry up and declare war on Japan, then in the post-war Far East, the alliance's geopolitical influence will be greatly limited. Therefore, against Japan The battle must begin immediately, and cannot be delayed any longer.

According to the document in Viktor's hands, tomorrow morning, Comrade Molotov will summon Sato, the Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union, and submit a declaration of war to him. At this moment, the millions of troops displayed by the alliance in the Far East have entered a state of preparation for war. In the battle plan formulated by the General Staff, this large-scale battle will be divided into three stages and will last for a month.

For Victor personally, the recent period is also the last stage of his tenure in the People's Commissariat of State Security. After next Monday, he will go to Sochi for a vacation. After the half-month vacation is over, he will Going to Karelia to serve.
