Struggle in Soviet Russia

In January, the weather in Moscow does not show any signs of warming. On the contrary, the temperature seems to have a further downward trend in the first two weeks of January. Of course, even so, the temperature in Moscow is higher than that of Petroza. Watzke was five or six degrees higher.

On Moscow's Red Square, a black Volga sedan slowly drove into the Kremlin against the last rays of the setting sun. After bypassing the road in front of the Armory Square, it drove straight to the office building dedicated to Comrade Stalin.

In the Volga sedan, the driver was not Varenka, but Sophia in a military uniform. As for Victor, he sat in the back seat of the car, flipping through a newspaper while humming a song. Weird little tune.

The newspaper is Pravda, which is published today. In the middle of the newspaper page, in an inconspicuous position, it publishes the latest appointment of the Union Central Committee: the appointment of Comrade Viktor Viktorovich Kulykov as Soviet Union. The post of director of the secretariat subordinate to the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

How should I put it, the Central Secretariat is an institution with a big brand and a high level. The first secretary of the Secretariat is Comrade Stalin himself. Among the current secretaries of the Secretariat, except for Comrade Stalin, who is the first secretary, There are also Comrades Zhdanov, Andreyev, Malenkov and Kuznetsov.

In addition to these four secretaries, there are also a series of leaders in several departments under the Secretariat, such as the Organization Bureau, Cadre Bureau and other departments, and among the leaders of these subordinate departments, the one with the highest position and rank is the secretary The position of the director of the division is taken, because the person in this position directly serves the first secretary. In other words, as the director of the secretariat of the Central Secretariat, Victor's main task in this department is to cooperate with Comrade Stalin. Some specific matters concerning the administration of the CPSU Central Committee.

In the Secretariat of the Central Committee, Comrade Stalin, as the first secretary, has no special responsibility for the work, which is different from other secretaries. For example, Comrade Andreyev is mainly responsible for the work related to the supervision of the Central Committee. Comrade Danov is mainly responsible for the work of the propaganda department, Comrade Malenkov is mainly responsible for personnel and cadres, Comrade Kuznetsov is mainly responsible for national security and so on. Comrade Stalin is not in charge of any work, but he can manage all kinds of work. To put it bluntly, he is the person in charge of arresting the general manager.

As the director of the secretariat responsible to Comrade Stalin and serving him, Victor's role is to represent Comrade Stalin and communicate with several other secretaries. He needs to convey Comrade Stalin's opinions and attitudes on certain work to the The person in charge of the relevant work, at the same time, is also in charge of Comrade Stalin's schedule at the Central Secretariat and so on.

The level of this position itself is not high, and it is not even as good as Victor's own job, which is the position of the first secretary of the Karelian-Finnish Soviet Republic. In addition, the position of the director of the secretariat has a lot of work and is very complicated. , because he needs to do all kinds of work related to the central government, and he needs to deal with the arrangements.

To make a concrete comparison, if he is an assistant to Comrade Malenkov, then he only needs to deal with the work related to personnel and cadres. The people who usually deal with him are mainly concentrated in these two areas of work. If you are an assistant to Comrade Zhdanov, then you only need to deal with the work related to the propaganda mouth, and you don't need to think too much about other things.

But for Comrade Stalin as an assistant, the situation is completely different. It can be said that every secretary is responsible for the work he needs to understand and master, because Comrade Stalin may want to know all aspects of the situation at any time. He, the director of the secretariat, has a Aspects can't be taken care of.

For example, at a certain time of day, Comrade Stalin may have a whim and ask about the appointment and removal of personnel of the Central Committee of the Kazakh Republic. This kind of matter belongs to the work of Comrade Malenkov, but Comrade Malenkov. No, I can't get in touch, so, as the director of the Secretariat, Victor is likely to receive a phone call from Comrade Stalin to ask him about related matters. If he can't answer it, he'll be out of luck. If he answered it, don't be proud, because the matter is not over yet, Comrade Stalin is likely to raise a new question from this topic, and this new question may be related to the supervision of the central government, which belongs to Andrea Comrade Husband's work scope, but as the director of the secretariat, Victor still needs to understand the relevant situation, otherwise, the work is not in place.

All in all, this position is a tiring job, because the person sitting in this position needs to have a comprehensive and in-place grasp of the work of the entire secretariat, so that when the first secretary wants to understand a certain work, , he can provide accurate assistance.

Conversely, people who can take this position can often get great training. As long as they can do their jobs well, it doesn't take too long, as long as there is a person who can walk out of this position in a year or two , he can basically be competent for any job in the secretariat, and he is bound to be a popular man in the eyes of the first secretary.

In this post, Viktor's predecessor was Comrade Malenkov.

In fact, when this appointment was proposed at the personnel work meeting of the Central Committee, anyone who could understand the situation would know what was going on. There is no doubt that Viktor, a young and somewhat excessive cadre, is definitely a popular man in the eyes of Comrade Stalin. This seemingly simple appointment is actually paving the way for this young man.

The car drove to Comrade Stalin's office building and stopped slowly. Sophia got out of the car first, went around the car, and opened the door for Victor.

Almost at the same time that Victor got off the car, four or five people walked down the steps in front of the building. When they saw Victor getting out of the car, several people stopped.

When he got off the car, Viktor also saw a few people on the steps for the first time. The first thing he saw was Comrade Molotov, who was walking in front of them. He was wearing a heavy gray coat. People look bloated.

To the left of Comrade Molotov is Comrade Boskelebyshev, the First Secretary, and to the right, there are two people, one of them is the US ambassador to the Soviet Union George Kennan, and the other is a Weird hair, short stature old man.

Although Victor had never been in charge of foreign affairs, he still recognized the old man at first sight, because in the foreign intelligence work he was responsible for, this old man was a person who had been the focus of attention for a long time.

The old man is from Ballesta in the Middle East. He is the leading figure of Zionism, and also a big figure who resisted British colonial rule and occupies an important position in the World Jewish Federation - Ben Gurion, the reason why Victor can see him at a glance It was because of his unique hairstyle. As long as he saw him, Victor's mind would always come up with a movie he saw in his previous life, "The King of Power", in which the warden Hajime is transforming After that, the hairstyle is so similar to Ben Gurion's that Victor even suspects that the character in "The King of Power" is paying homage to Mr. Ben Gurion.

Victor was not at all surprised that Ben Gurion appeared in the Kremlin. After all, the news of his visit to Moscow had already been published in the newspapers two days ago. The newspapers of the Union gave him a character from the Middle East. A representative figure who resisted the tyranny of the monarchy in the Arab region and the colonial rule of the West.

In the past period of time, the Jews living in Palestine have become more and more violent. They not only began to armed against the British notices, but also began to carry out activities in the international arena, doing everything possible to solicit the support of international public opinion.

According to information obtained by Victor, the Zionists have been very successful in their activities in the United States. The so-called "Palestinian Council" they established in the United States already has 15,000 members. Although this number is small, its The weight is too heavy. Among the 50,000 members, most of them are celebrities and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life in the United States. Among them, there are only 17 governors of the United States. In addition, there are 60. One senator and one hundred and fifty members of Congress, to be honest, such a huge political force was something that the Truman administration did not dare to disobey. Therefore, it also directly led to the issue of Zionism between the United Kingdom and the United States. direct confrontation over the question of Palestine.

Now, Washington has clearly expressed its support for the Jewish state-building plan, and they have begun to provide assistance to the Jews not only in public opinion, but also in military and economic terms.

As the UK’s current ruling party, the Labour government is clearly opposed to the Jewish state-building plan. As the British Prime Minister, Attlee publicly criticized Washington for treachery, believing that the Americans’ remarks on the Palestine issue have violated the interests of the British. To this end, the British government united with King Abdullah of Jordan and King Farouk of Egypt, and began to confront the Americans' Middle East policy.

Yes, in today's Middle East, the British are still the boss, and the American influence is still a little bit worse.

In order to continue to exert more pressure on the British, including Ben Gurion, Mrs. Meir, etc., a series of Zionists launched an intensive offensive to visit the Soviet Union, trying to gain support from Moscow on the issue of statehood. Support and acknowledge.

On this issue, the Alliance is naturally happy to provide support for the Jews. Although the Alliance lacks interests in the Middle East, as long as it can cause some trouble to its opponents, the Alliance naturally does not mind making some promises that are not cost-effective.
