Struggle in Soviet Russia - Chapter 645

The two walked side by side toward the building, and Comrade Abakumov took this opportunity to introduce the details of the King David Hotel bombing to Victor. Today, the People’s Commissariat of National Security has a special intelligence agency stationed in the Palestinian area. It is interesting that although Moscow supports the Jewish statehood in its basic position, the intelligence agency of the People’s Commissariat of National Security in Palestine mainly employs are Arabs.

The infiltration of the People’s Commissariat for National Security into the Middle East was officially launched when Victor was the chairman of the committee. At that time, the plan to establish an intelligence agency in Palestine was also ordered by Victor. To be honest, it is not that the several intelligence groups stationed in Palestine at that time did not think about hiring more Jews, but the problem is that the Jews living in Palestine today, mainly in the form of settlements, want to It is not so easy to buy intelligence personnel in the middle.

Compared with the Jews, the unity of the Arabs is far less strong. In the past two years, Jewish violent organizations like Irgun have been able to develop so rapidly in Palestine, partly because of their There is financial support from a consortium behind it, and on the other hand, among the local Arabs, there are a lot of guys who cooperate with them for money. The unity of the nation is not strong, which is also the most fundamental reason why the Arabs have always been oppressed in the time and space where Victor once lived.

From the downstairs to the second floor, until the door of Comrade Stalin’s office, Comrade Abakumov recounted the whole story of the bombing of the King David Hotel in detail.

It must be acknowledged that although the Foreign Intelligence Service has set up several intelligence agencies in the Middle East and Palestine, and has also carried out operations for a period of time, due to the special local situation, these intelligence agencies have not gained much. It is their work that is difficult to advance in an in-depth direction.

This time, Comrade Kuznetsov put forward a proposal to the Central Committee, demanding that Ogolitsov be replaced and Abakumov appointed as the chairman of the People’s Commissariat of State Security. And the reason why his proposal was quickly passed in the Central Committee, in addition to everyone’s intention to exclude Beria’s influence from the national security agency, was also because during Ogolicov’s tenure as the chairman of the committee, the national security people The Committee, especially the Foreign Intelligence Bureau under the Committee, failed to produce any new achievements.

Viktor was the first chairman of the People’s Commissariat for National Security, and he single-handedly integrated the work of the Foreign Intelligence Service and rapidly expanded the agency. During the few years he was in charge of foreign intelligence work, foreign intelligence agencies infiltrated everywhere, infiltrating almost the entire main body of the United States into a sieve, a large amount of important intelligence information, including nuclear weapons research and development, drug discovery, electronic technology, etc., in various fields The high-value intelligence of the alliance continuously flows into the core leadership of the alliance, thus making a huge contribution to the alliance.

During the few months that Ogolitsov was the chairman of the committee, although the foreign intelligence agency also made some achievements, it must be recognized that these achievements were almost all the foundation laid by Victor during his tenure in office. Husband can only be regarded as Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and on this basis he picked up some bargains. As for how much real credit was obtained through his own efforts, it is really hard to say.

As a predecessor, Viktor’s achievements during his tenure were too dazzling, and Ogolitsov could not escape from his light, so he would inevitably be criticized. Therefore, Comrade Kuznetsov thought that he was not suitable to serve as a committee member. The first reason for the chairman of the ministry was that during his tenure in office, he failed to push the work of the People’s Commissariat for National Security to “further success”, especially the Foreign Intelligence Service, which has always been living on the old foundation left over from the Victor period.

Now, Abakumov has succeeded Ogolitsov as the new chairman of the People’s Commissariat of State Security. As for whether he can achieve some new achievements on the basis of his predecessor, no one can say. .

However, in the case of the King David Hotel bombing, it would be quite difficult for Abakumov to surpass Viktor in foreign intelligence work.

Now, what is the information sent back by the Palestinian intelligence station? It is nothing more than how many people died in this bombing, how many British people died, what organization announced to be responsible for the attack, etc., and this intelligence information does not need to be obtained by intelligence agencies at all, it is estimated that it is from newspapers. can be found. If there is something that cannot be found in the newspapers temporarily, but the intelligence agencies have already obtained it, it is estimated that it is the detailed identities of many dead people, but such intelligence information is basically meaningless to the alliance.

But what if Victor was still in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Service? He can directly issue an order to the Palestinian intelligence agencies, asking them to focus on monitoring Menachem Begin and the important people around him, and to obtain evidence of their planning and participation in the bombing.

Just imagine, now the British don’t know who the leader of the Irgun organization is, let alone who is the specific planner of the King David Hotel bombing. Beijing and the important people around them conduct surveillance to find evidence of their planned attacks, and to determine their links with Zionist organizations such as Ben Gurion, so what will the British pay for this information? the price?

The Brits are now devastated by the Jews. On the one hand, a group of “moderate” Zionists, headed by Ben Gurion, used the Holocaust of the Jews by the Germans and the exclusion and attacks of the Jews by the Palestinians as an excuse , pretending to be pitiful internationally, pulling Americans to support their cause of building a state in Palestine. On the other hand, there are “revisionist” Zionists such as Irgun and the Stern Gang, who use violent means such as bombings and assassinations to carry out terrorist attacks against Arabs and British people. Sit down.

Everyone knows that whether it is “moderates” or “revisionists”, their ultimate goal is the same, that is to achieve their goal of establishing a state in Palestine. , they are family after all. To a certain extent, the relationship between the two is actually the same as the relationship between Sinn Fein and the Republican Army of Northern Ireland.

However, unlike Sinn Fein and the Northern Ireland Republican Army, the “moderate” Zionists, headed by Ben Gurion, have never acknowledged their connection with the “revisionist” Zionists , they even claimed that the two sides were hostile, and every time the latter planned any violent action, the former jumped out to accuse indignantly, but the “moderates” always benefited from the violent attacks of the “revisionists”. is undeniable.

Based on the principle of who benefits the most, is it true that the “moderate” Zionists headed by Ben Gurion have nothing to do with the “revisionists”? If this is said, I am afraid that Americans will believe it.

The trouble for the British now is that on the one hand, they have to face the terrorist attacks against the Jews, on the other hand, they have to face the accusations from international public opinion. Yes, international public opinion is also on the side of the Jews. Almost everyone thinks that the British are persecuted the Jews.

If the British at this time can obtain evidence that there is a close connection between the two factions of the Zionists, they will undoubtedly take the lead in public opinion.

But unfortunately, Comrade Abakumov is not Victor, let alone a rebirth. He does not have the memories that Victor has in his mind. Therefore, he does not know where to start the intelligence work in the Palestinian area. , And at this point, Victor obviously did not have the obligation to remind him, the point is, Victor has no way to tell what he understands reasonably.

He needs to wait for a chance…

Comrade Stalin’s office door was not closed because of the need to hold an emergency intelligence meeting. Comrade Boskrebyshev was waiting at the door of the office. When he saw two people approaching, he turned around and pushed the open door. Open, and directly signal for the two to enter.

In the office, Comrade Stalin was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room flipping through a document. When he saw two people walking in from the door, he threw the document on the table in front of him, pointed to the opposite party, and said: “You are late.”

Victor didn’t explain, he took a step and walked straight towards the sofa opposite Comrade Stalin.

“I’m very sorry, Comrade Stalin, I…” Comrade Abakumov had only been in direct contact with Comrade Stalin for a short time, so he didn’t know much about Comrade Stalin’s temper, so he explained from the spot.

“Have you contacted Vyacheslav?” As a result, Comrade Stalin asked Comrade Boskrebyshev directly at the door before he could finish explaining, “Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

“It should be on the way, Comrade Stalin,” replied Comrade Bosklebyshev.

Victor knew very well that what Comrade Stalin needed was not an explanation, he was just complaining in this way, and any excuse for explanation was superfluous at this time.

Think about it, when he got the call, Comrade Boskrebyshev told him that the meeting would be held in 20 minutes. Twenty minutes was not enough for him to rush from home to the Kremlin. How could he not be late?

Comrade Abakumov made a boring discussion, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed.
