Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 454: history

In this world, having emotions is not necessarily a bad thing, but once emotions turn into fanaticism, it is another matter. But the real problem is that this world is too complicated. arouse the enthusiasm of the people.

This situation not only exists in the alliance, but also exists in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

In Victor's memory, in his previous life, the Soviet Union faced a complex international situation after World War II, especially in the face of the arrival of the Cold War, and its policies had great problems, while in the United States, in the face of the pressure of the Cold War, its Domestic policy is also in trouble. At that time, the United States, on the one hand, had to confront the Soviet Union internationally, on the other hand, it was worried about the proliferation of communist ideology at home, and McCarthyism, which had an extremely bad influence, appeared in this environment.

Now, Victor's plan is to add fire to the complicated postwar situation in the United States on the basis that McCarthyism will emerge.

......................................

Coming out of Comrade Stalin's office, Viktor and Molotov walked side by side in the corridor, the latter clearly feeling relieved.

Indeed, perhaps his calm response was approved by Comrade Stalin, or perhaps the leader's attention was distracted by Viktor's proposal, in short, until the two came out of Comrade Stalin's office, neither of the latter did. Ask the question of the punishment of Molotov.

At the same time, the three proposals put forward by Molotov were all approved by Comrade Stalin, and he requested the People's Commissariat of State Security, which Victor received, to cooperate with him and quickly carry out relevant actions within the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs. .

Of course, it is said that Viktor cooperates with Molotov to carry out related work, mainly because there is a gap between the positions and levels of the two, but in actual work, Molotov needs to cooperate with Victor to carry out work, after all, the latter is an expert in this area.

In addition, Comrade Molotov at this moment is probably not in the mood to care about these details. He has just escaped a hurdle, thanks to the assistance provided by Victor, so he is probably happy to give up the initiative in these matters.

In the corridor, the two of them remained silent with each other until they reached the entrance of the stairs, and seeing that Viktor was about to turn around and go downstairs, Comrade Molotov smiled and invited: "Would you like to go to my room? Sit down?"

Victor paused, shook his head and smiled: "No, the time for the meeting is almost here. I'm afraid you need to prepare in advance for some work, so I won't bother you."

Before, Viktor didn't use honorifics in front of Molotov, but now he used honorifics instead.

"If you didn't say it, I almost forgot," Molotov didn't insist, he seemed to have just remembered, raised his hand to look at his watch, and pretended to be surprised, "There are less than twenty minutes left. , I really have to hurry up and make some arrangements."

After saying this, he seemed to think of something again, shook his head and smiled: "Victor, as you know, for some time in the future, my main energy will probably be on this summit meeting, and I will be concerned about the leaks. There may not be so much time to participate in handling work, so the main work in this area still needs to be done by you.”

Victor nodded and said: "I will hurry up, but Comrade Molotov, on the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs, you also need to make some arrangements, at least, prepare some assistants for me, otherwise, the relevant work is not easy.”

"Of course, of course," Molotov nodded with a smile, "I'll have someone contact you later, don't worry about that."

In fact, for a period of time in the future, Molotov will indeed focus on the summit meeting. At the same time, he cannot delay the adjustment work within the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs. In particular, the three recommendations must be implemented in the shortest possible time, and they also need to be implemented skillfully so that they cannot be detected by the intelligence services of the United Kingdom and the United States. Therefore, the work in this area is definitely more troublesome and requires a lot of energy and time. It is indeed difficult for Molotov to take care of it.

In addition, the reason why Molotov pushed the main work to Viktor was to make a gesture in front of Comrade Stalin. After all, the problem occurred in the department under his leadership. If he himself led the investigation, it would be It's unreasonable. At this sensitive time, Molotov did not want to arouse Comrade Stalin's displeasure on any issue.

Just at the top of the stairs to say goodbye to Molotov, Viktor went downstairs all the way and went directly back to his office. When he walked into his room, he found that Comrade Poskrebyshev was sitting at his desk. After that, he was smoking there with a cigarette in his mouth.

Seeing Victor coming in from outside the door, Comrade Great Secret stood up from the chair, and first glanced behind him, seeing that no one was following, and then made a gesture to let him close the door.

Seeing what he was doing so mysteriously, Victor couldn't help but feel a little funny. He closed the door, unbuttoned his coat, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Is the injury on your leg okay?" Boskrebyshev asked in a low voice, squeezing out most of the remaining cigarettes in the ashtray, staring at Viktor's knees.

"It's alright," Victor said, lifting the knocked back, shaking it, "it's just a little bruised, it's not a serious injury."

"You..." Boskrebyshev stood up from the chair, with a constipated expression on his face, he hesitated, "What happened in the room before?"

Victor glanced in surprise and asked, "What happened?"

Boskrebyshev pointed to his knees, then lowered his head to his own feet, and said, "What's the matter with the injury on your leg, and the injury on Comrade Stalin's foot?"

He didn't ask, but he asked, but Victor reminded Viktor of the way this guy looked at him before. Of course, it wasn't just him, but also those doctors who treated Comrade Stalin's foot injury, those guys' eyes were very Weird.

He laughed, and Victor didn't hide it. He briefly recounted the process of Comrade Stalin kicking the coffee table in his rage and bruising his leg. He believed that if he didn't make it clear, the secret The comrade probably won't even be able to sleep.

After listening to Viktor's introduction, Boskrebyshev understood what was going on. He was laughed at by himself, shook his head, and asked, "Then, how to deal with the leak of the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs?"

In this regard, Victor also did not hide, and told the three suggestions "proposed" by Molotov - it was indeed proposed by Molotov, and Victor will say the same in the future.

Poskrebyshev nodded, and he also believed that this approach was the safest.

I learned the inside story from Viktor, and Boskrebyshev didn't stay any longer. It happened that the time for the summit meeting was approaching, and he also needed to do some arrangement work.

The three-nation summit meeting in Yalta, although the Soviet Union was the host, the official meeting place was not the Yusupov Palace where Comrade Stalin stayed, but the Livadia Palace where President Roosevelt stayed. Of course, This is also to take care of Roosevelt's physical condition.

As the only exception in the history of the United States to be re-elected for four consecutive terms, Roosevelt, who was in poor health, is now facing huge health problems. He is as thin as a skeleton, and it is no wonder that his competitors Will attack him with his health problems. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the war was not over yet, and at the same time, Roosevelt not only ended the economic crisis in the United States, but also led the entire United States to victory in the anti-fascist war, he would have been elected not long ago.

As far as the memory of Victor's previous life is concerned, this great statesman does not have much time left. If the trajectory of history does not change much, he will die in the third month after the three-nation summit meeting. .

Of course, although there is no problem with physical health, as British Prime Minister Churchill, it is difficult to continue to serve as Prime Minister. He will step down after the Soviet army conquers Berlin.

After smoking a cigarette in his office, Viktor walked out of the room again. Although he was not the representative of the Soviet Union in this meeting, as the head of the national security department of the Soviet Union, he still needed to follow him to the meeting.

Victor is a relatively low-key person, and he does not like to appear in too public public places, after all, it is neither in line with his character, nor in line with the special job he is responsible for. However, he is still happy to attend a meeting like today, because he is very clear that this meeting is not a simple meeting, it is a symbol, and it is the establishment of a new international order after the war. The symbol of , as a witness of the meeting, as long as he appears at the venue, he will be remembered by history.

The most important thing is that today is the first day of the official start of the Yalta three-nation summit meeting. According to the procedure, the representatives of both sides need to take a group photo, which is no different from the previous Tehran meeting.

During the Tehran meeting, Victor also participated in the group photo, and this time, he didn't want to miss this opportunity. As a rebirth, he knew how important the group photo at this meeting was and how influential it would be in future generations.

To be honest, to be a man like Victor, what he pursues is no longer purely material enjoyment. That kind of pursuit is too low-level, and he needs to pursue more noble things, such as leaving a name for future generations.
