In the past, because Victor was in charge of intelligence work and Malinkov was in charge of the aviation industry, there was hardly any crossover between the two. It was not until the nuclear technology research and development project was launched that there was some intersection between the two. But even today, they have very limited opportunities to meet each other.

Because of the lack of opportunities to meet and deal with each other, Victor lacked understanding of Malinkov. All he knew about the comrade of the Organizational Bureau came from hearsay. As an intelligence officer, Victor would never "heard". Seriously.

Today, it is also his first visit to Malenkov’s office. From the location of the leading comrade’s office, Victor can be considered to have a preliminary understanding of him-this is a very real person at work.

Imagine how many leaders will choose their office on the position facing the stairs? And open the door of the office like this?

There are two advantages to this: First, the staff of the unit can supervise the leadership, because the office is in this position, and the door of the office is always open, so people who come over can see the situation in the office. Second, the people passing by the office can see the leader, and the leader will naturally see the people passing by. This will cause a psychological pressure on the people in the unit, at least there will be a lot less people who sneak, rape, and slippery. .

Ascending the last flight of stairs, Victor looked at both sides of the corridor. He wanted to see where the Secretariat was. Although Comrade Malinkov’s office was right in front of him, he felt that it was obviously inappropriate for him to knock on the door directly. According to the normal procedure, how could he contact Malinkov’s secretary?

Just as he looked towards both sides of the corridor, a telephone ringing suddenly rang in Malinkov's office.

Malenkov, who was reading the document, was startled. When he looked up at the desk phone, he also happened to see Victor outside the door.

A smile appeared on the otherwise expressionless fat face, and Malinkov got up from the chair and beckoned to Victor before he picked up a black phone on the table.

Now that the other party saw him, he didn't need to go to the secretary again. Victor smiled and walked into the door, and stood by the door.

I don’t know who is calling, but Malinkov said to the phone: "Okay, I know, just wait for me downstairs, I'll go down right away."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and walked out from behind the desk while saying: "Hehe, Comrade Victor, why is it raining?"

While speaking, he saw Sophia who was following Victor and the thick stack of documents in Sophia's arms, and then replied, "Is there any important information?"

"Yes, Comrade Georgi," Victor nodded, and said, "The New York Intelligence Station provided a technical information about penicillin, which is very important."

Malinkov frowned. He stopped at his desk, thought for a while, and said, "Is it anxious?"

"Ah, that's not it," Victor said hastily.

"If it's not in a hurry..." Malenkov's brows stretched out. He walked up to Victor and shook hands with him first. Then he said, "Well, I'm going to the Komsomolskaya Square. Twenty minutes later, The heads of 13 Ural companies will arrive at Yaroslavl Station by car. I’m going to pick them up and have a short meeting by the way. If you have nothing else to do, you can come with me. We are here Talk in the car."

"Okay, Comrade Georgi," Victor said, nodding.

"Let's go, the car is already waiting downstairs," Malinkov said with a smile, walked to the door, took the hat from the hanger, and went out first.

He followed him and went downstairs. As soon as he left the door, Victor saw a beige bus parked on the side of the road. It turned out to be a bus.

Malinkov came out of the building without stopping, got on the bus directly, and then sat down on the single seat on the right in the first row.

Victor saw two young people at the door. One was wearing the uniform of a bus driver, and the other was wearing a gray Lenin suit. It is estimated that the latter should be Malinkov's secretary, but Victor didn't know him.

First, Sofia informed Varenka and asked him to drive behind. Victor followed him on the bus and sat down in front of the seat opposite Malinkov.

Immediately behind him, the driver and Malinkov's secretary also got into the car, and then Sophia holding the documents.

The buses currently used in Moscow are GAZ accessories. To be honest, this kind of bus is very bad and a bit shoddy. It is not only noisy, but also has a very poor shock absorption system. The car has a strong sense of turbulence.

"Give me the papers," Malinkov said to Victor when the car started moving, "I'll take a look first, and then I'll find out what's going on."

This is also Malinkov’s unique working style. Like Comrade Stalin, he doesn’t like to take documents to see for himself. Instead, he likes to watch and listen to the explanation of the person submitting the documents. Malinkov is not the case. He doesn’t like listening to others. It is something that likes to read words, which may be related to his better writing skills.

The bus drove forward amidst the bumps. It was not very far from the film studio road to the Komsomolskaya Square where the Yaroslavl station was located. It was a ten-minute drive away.

On this road, Malinkov was looking at the documents. He looked carefully, and from time to time he took out a pen to draw a sketch somewhere. Victor figured out that he must have a question to ask, but because he was away from the driver’s seat. The driver was too close, so the question was kept for now.

Nearly twenty minutes later, the bus drove to the Komsomolskaya Square where Yaroslavl Station was located. Malinkov signaled the driver to park the car not far from the exit, and then returned the documents in his hand to Victor, saying: " I have seven questions, all of which have been ticked out on the top. You can take a look first and answer them for me later."

"Okay, Comrade Georgi," Victor said hurriedly to his feet, receiving the documents.

Malinkov nodded at him, then got up and got off the bus.

Victor watched him get out of the car, then sat back in his seat, and began to look at the marks and notes in the document.

The marked areas in the documents were quickly found out. Victor took a look and found that Malinkov’s questions written at the marked areas did not involve professionalism, mainly whether the relevant intelligence source channels were credible, and the expenditures were incurred. Where is it, etc., are all minor problems.

It can be seen that the leading comrade is still very principled and did not ask some questions that should not be asked.

What is the "Science and Technology Intelligence Committee" led by Malinkov? To put it bluntly, it is a combination of an intermediary agency and an evaluation agency. This department does not have the authority to directly intervene in the work of the Foreign Intelligence Agency. What they need to do is to convene relevant experts on the intelligence based on the scientific and technological information provided by the Foreign Intelligence Agency. Data and content are identified.

The purpose of the appraisal is to determine whether the relevant technical information is useful and in what field it can be applied.

At the same time, they will also provide some directional collection tasks to the Foreign Intelligence Agency in accordance with the requirements of the relevant technical departments. For example, radar technology. The alliance’s radar researchers determined that the United States had made a breakthrough in a certain radar technology. They submitted the relevant information to the "Science and Technology Intelligence Committee", and this committee communicated with the Foreign Intelligence Agency. Can you get the relevant technical information and data?

This is the role or function of the "Science and Technology Intelligence Committee." As for how the Foreign Intelligence Agency organizes its intelligence work and where to station what personnel, the "Science and Technology Intelligence Committee" has no right to interfere.

Victor memorized the selected questions in the document, conceived in his mind how to answer these questions, and organized the language. It only took a few minutes before and after. When he handed over the documents to Sophia again, he saw the fat Marinkov near the exit gate, and a dozen middle-aged men who also wore Lenin costumes. While speaking, he walked towards the parking place.

According to Malinkov’s previous statement, these dozen people are all heads of companies in the Urals. Since he is in charge of the aviation industry, it is not surprising that the companies these people are responsible for should also be related to the aviation field. of.

To be honest, Malinkov’s job is not easy. He is not a technical bureaucrat, or even has no experience in grassroots work. Logically speaking, his best choice should be to do party work, that is, to be a so-called "retreat-type" bureaucrat. .

Unfortunately, Comrade Stalin’s employment principle is rather special. The members of the Politburo of the Central Committee implemented a “rotation” system. When the war broke out, Malinkov happened to be in charge of the People’s Committee of Aviation Industry, so he could only catch the ducks on the shelves. I'm responsible for this highly skilled job.

But as far as the last two years are concerned, Malinkov’s work performance is fairly good. Under his responsibility, although the Alliance’s aviation industry was hit hard at the beginning of the war, it quickly recovered. The current average monthly The output of more than two thousand fighters is not something ordinary people can make.

However, it seems that Malinkov is quite good at winning people's hearts. Originally, some business leaders came to Moscow, and he went to the train station to greet him personally. Isn't this just a way of being courteous and corporal?

This was Victor's idea, but soon he realized that he was wrong. The chubby Comrade Malinkov was really not as amiable as his appearance. His work style can only be described as rude.
