After the overall report is completed, the hearing will formally enter. In this link, the leaders at the hearing will ask a series of questions about the part of the report that they value, and Victor needs to answer it on the spot.

Victor’s report covers a lot of aspects, and it is mainly related to various scientific fields. One thing that can be determined is that after receiving the report, the leading comrades in the hearing will definitely do it to experts in the relevant field. Got to know.

For example, Comrade Stalin, he is more concerned about the pharmaceutical production technology of panicillin, and the research of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in medical-related aspects. After all, he is getting older and his health has gone from bad to worse in the past two years.

On the other hand, Kaganovich and Khrushchev are more concerned about issues in the field of agricultural scientific research. Both of these comrades are more concerned about agricultural production and both have done rural work. It is normal to care about these issues.

Mikoyan and Malinkov, for example, are more concerned about new things in industrial technology, and the two of them also raised the most and deepest questions. It can be seen that they are still very attentive to their respective work.

As for the two comrades Molotov and Kalinin, they can be regarded as coming to make soy sauce. They are not even as good as Zhdanov and Andreev. At least they have raised two technical problems to some extent. The two remained silent from beginning to end.

Comrades Zhdanov and Molotov became proactive until the hearing entered the organizational structure. Obviously, they paid more attention to the future organizational structure, powers, and internal power distribution of the People’s Committee of National Security. .

In this process, Victor was mainly responsible for answering technical questions. As for the organizational structure, authority, internal power distribution, and funding adjustments, it was Feijing and Eitingo that were responsible for answering.

The hearing part of the hearing lasted for nearly two hours, and the final link was Comrade Serov’s concluding statement. Difficulties encountered in China, as well as the necessity of this organizational structure adjustment, and so on.

Of course, the result of the hearing will not be voted on the spot. The leaders will have to hold a small meeting to discuss before the result will come out. Most of the result will be issued in the name of the CPSU Central Committee and the People’s Committee. A document to determine the result of the vote.

Coming out of the venue of the Great Kremlin, Victor felt a bit exhausted physically and mentally. Participating in such a hearing and making such a report, he felt more tired than carrying a car of bricks. Well, the main reason was that he was tired.

Because it was already seven o'clock in the evening when the meeting ended, Comrade Stalin was considerate of his cadres and asked the Kremlin chef to prepare a light meal. However, the committee members did not attend, but went to the suburban villa with Comrade Stalin. It is estimated that the leaders will have to drink two glasses in the evening and get the results of the hearing by the way.

Because there were only four people, Victor and the others did not choose to dine in the Kremlin.

The night was speechless. Early the next morning, before eight o'clock, Victor received a call from Comrade Feijing at home. Feijing was on duty at the unit last night, and he was also the leader of the shift.

On the phone, Comrade Feijin excitedly told Victor that he should go to the unit for a meeting immediately. The document jointly issued by the Central Committee and the People's Committee has arrived.

In just one night, Comrade Stalin and his staff not only made the decision, but also got the documents issued. This efficiency is incredible. However, this is also the normal state of work at the central level of the Soviet Union. , Everything is rushed forward, there is rarely procrastination.

Victor didn't even care about washing, got dressed and went straight to the headquarters of the National Security People's Committee.

When he arrived at Comrade Serov’s office, Comrades Fitin and Comrade Serov were already waiting in the office. Only Comrade Eitingo hadn’t arrived yet, mainly because his residence was a bit far away from the unit.

While waiting for Comrade Aitingo to arrive, Victor saw a document issued by the Central Secretariat-a special decision on "Further Strengthening and Actively Carrying Out the Scientific and Technological Intelligence Work of the Soviet National Security Committee."

The drafter of the document was Comrade Malinkov, and all the leading comrades who participated in the hearing yesterday, including Beria, Voznesensky, Bulganin and other members of the Organization Bureau, signed the document.

In front of the official document, there is an additional appointment and dismissal decision. In this document, it first lists the achievements Comrade Serov has achieved in the past few years, and then announces his promotion to the "first-level national security commissioner" (equivalent to general); it also lists Victor's work in the past year or so. , For his outstanding contributions on the National Intelligence Station line, he was subsequently promoted to a "second-level national security commissioner" (equivalent to general); and Comrade Feijing and Aitingo were similar, and both were promoted to "second-level national security commissioners". National Security Councillor".

There is no doubt that this promotion order is in line with the promotion of the National Security People’s Committee. So far, the highest military rank of the Soviet Union in the field of national security is "General Commissioner for National Security", which is equivalent to the rank of Marshal of the military. , Even Comrade Beria has not yet obtained this rank.

In other words, the NKVD is at least at the same level as the NKVD.

After reading the attached documents, Eitingo arrived before Victor had time to open the official documents.

"How about, the official documents are really issued?" Just as he entered the door, the counterintelligence chief looked excited and couldn't wait to ask.

Comrade Serov was sitting behind his desk and smoking a cigarette. Hearing this question, he did not speak, but smiled and raised his chin at Victor.

Eitingo was also welcome, and went directly to Victor's side, and went to read the contents of the file with him.

The body of the document is actually not much, only a short page.

The text begins by emphasizing the importance of foreign intelligence work in supporting scientific and technological work. Then, it lists the current deficiencies in the intelligence department of the People's Committee of National Security. Finally, it is the content of this departmental reorganization.

The document believes that the work of the National Security People’s Committee should involve various fields related to national security. Therefore, in addition to the original work of internal, external, and anti-espionage work, ideological supervision should be increased, and the work of foreign countries should be increased. The content of human monitoring and special operations areas.

In order to strengthen the rigor of the National Security People’s Committee in the field of intelligence work, the Central Committee decided to establish a Science and Technology Intelligence Committee. An overview of the implementation of the foreign intelligence work of the committee department, and coordinate the communication between the foreign intelligence department and various scientific research institutes and functional departments.

In accordance with the requirements of the document, the National Security People’s Committee must conduct a more detailed division of functions within the following three months to improve the authority structure of the entire organization.

According to the document’s recommendation, the National Security People’s Committee should establish a National Security Committee plenary meeting, which is held at least once a year. Vice-chairman of six people. During the closing of the plenary meeting of the National Security Committee, the Presidium will continue to give full play to the principles of collective leadership and make overall arrangements for the various work plans of the National Security People’s Committee.

At the end of the document, the main leaders of the People's Committee of National Security, especially the leaders in charge of foreign intelligence work, have also made confidentiality requirements.

In general, these requirements mean that all the leaders of the People’s Committee of National Security in the future must maintain a certain low-key, follow the requirements of the documents, and finally when it comes to external work, all the issuance of documents and personal affairs, as long as there is a need. You must use a pseudonym where you sign.

This requirement is understandable. After all, the work of the National Security People’s Committee is very special. It is different from the propaganda department. It pays attention to a certain degree of confidentiality, which is not only conducive to the development of the work, but also can protect their personal safety to the greatest extent. .

After reading the entire document, Victor let out a sigh of relief and slid the document directly into Eitingo’s hands. He then raised his head and said to Comrade Serov: “The leading comrades only give us three months. In such a short period of time, Within time, if you want to finish the related work, the task is still relatively heavy."

Comrade Feijing nodded and said: "My opinion is to divide the existing functional departments in more detail."

After a pause, he said: "I think the entire committee department can be divided into eighteen general bureaus."

With that said, he walked to Comrade Serov’s desk, took a stack of letterheads, wrote in a pen, and said: "The seventeen general bureaus are: the General Administration of Foreign Affairs, the General Administration of Internal Intelligence, and the Counterintelligence Administration. Reconnaissance General Administration, Military Security General Administration, Ideological Protection General Administration, Industrial Security General Administration, Special Operations General Administration, Communications Confidential Administration, Security Agency, Archives, Foreigners Surveillance Agency, Science and Technology Agency, Investigation Technology Agency, Engineering Construction Agency, General Affairs Agency As well as the organization bureau and related training academies."

After writing down the lists of these general bureaus, Fijing stood up and first handed the lists to Serov, and finally said: "As for the establishment of the internal supervision department, you can wait until the two relevant responsible committee members arrive. Make another decision."

Comrade Serov looked at the list, nodded and said, "I have no opinion."

"I have no opinion either," Victor continued, anyway, he was destined to be in charge of the State Administration of Foreign Intelligence, so naturally he didn't have to think too much about other things.
