"This is the list of people preparing to be recalled this time, Comrade First Deputy People's Committee." A middle-aged man in a gray duffle suit put a stack of documents in front of Merkulov.

"How many people are there now? Bolya Petrovich." Merkulov looked up the documents and asked.

"Two hundred and sixty-nine, Comrades, First Deputy People's Commissar." Major National Security Major Bolia Petrovich Roška reported to his immediate superior.

"Are there any omissions?" Merkulov picked up a list at random and read it.

"No omissions, we have all strictly screened, and at the same time we have sufficient evidence, Comrade First Deputy People's Committee." The National Security Major raised his chest vigorously, as if this could strengthen his words.

"Very well..." Merkulov looked up at the major and nodded slightly.

"Add one more name to the back of the list, make up two hundred and seventy people, and report to Moscow." Merkulov took the pen from the table, unscrewed the cap, and wrote on the first page of the list. Signed his name on the head.

"Yes, Comrade First Deputy People's Committee...Excuse me... whose name do you want to add?" Major Roshka asked with some confusion.

"How do I know who it is? This is the job you are responsible for. Go and get me 270 people right away, or fill in your own name. Any questions? Paulia Peter Rovich." Merkulov threw the stack of papers in front of the major.

"Understood, Comrade First Deputy People's Committee, there is no question, Comrade First Deputy People's Committee." There was no blood on the major's face, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength to answer loudly.

"Very well, go ahead and execute it now." Merkulov waved his hand.

"Yes, Comrade First Deputy People's Committee." Major Roshka saluted quickly, then turned around and strode out of the office.

"Rough embryo." Merkulov raised his hand and scratched his forehead. Although Major Roshka's brain was not flexible enough, it was particularly useful in this kind of thing.

Merkulov has no interest and no time to identify the names of the people on the list, or understand what they did. He only knows that these people are destined to no longer have a future, waiting for them after returning to the Soviet Union. It will be the arrest and trial of the People’s Committee of the Interior of the Soviets, and may go through some interrogation procedures, but as Roshka said, they have sufficient evidence in their hands. Among them, the serious crimes will be executed, and the crimes are more serious. The light ones will also spend the rest of their lives in the Gulag (labor reform camp).

The traitors who were corrupted and bought by the German intelligence services will be the titles of these people after returning to the country. These people were once the elites in the Soviet Union, the backbone of science and technology and industry, and were once considered extremely loyal to the motherland. Members of the Bolshevik Party, otherwise they would not be sent to Germany as staff members of the Soviet trade office in Berlin.

The task of these people is to investigate all walks of life in Germany, and at the same time identify the technologies that the Soviet Union may need, and learn the advanced experience of the Germans, especially in the past two years. Because of the rapid development of the German military industry, the Soviet Union began to continuously send This kind of experts came to Berlin. In 1949, the number of staff in the representative office reached the highest level in history. With the addition of staff from all over the organization, there were more than 500 people.

What worries the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is that the wealthy German entrepreneurs use various means to win the favor of these Soviets. In the eyes of these security personnel, if it is only to sell their products to the Soviet government, Germany People seem to have invested excessive enthusiasm in these experts.

So the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to monitor the activities of several important representatives. Sure enough, they found a lot of things that made them feel suspicious. These people often had gifts of unknown origin in their hands, and they even bought them for their relatives in the Soviet Union. In addition, luxury items such as high-end furniture, perfumes, furs, jewelry, etc. that are hard to see in the country.

What makes these security fighters even more angry is that many representatives have been addicted to the extravagant life of capitalism. Whenever they are free, they will hang out in Berlin’s cafes, bars, and various clubs. There are even people Secretly had a romance with a German woman, and the conversation and behavior of these people seemed to be more and more like the Germans they had contacted.

The security personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have reason to believe that some of them have been instigated by the German intelligence agencies. However, given that the Soviet-German relationship is currently in a delicate and sensitive period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be particularly cautious in handling this matter. In order to eradicate the traitors, but also as far as possible not to stimulate and disturb the Germans, Merkulov was sent to Berlin, one of the tasks is to solve this matter.

For this kind of work, the director can be said to be very familiar with it. He personally participated in the internal cleansing of the European Department of the General Administration of Political Security two years ago. This time he is going to follow the prescription and conduct another blood exchange operation.

The people on this list will be transferred back to China within two months. The reason given is that they have completed their work very well, and they have also learned advanced German experience during the inspection in Germany. The Soviets are now anxious. Need senior talents like them, they will be transferred to Moscow, and then take leadership responsibilities in some important enterprises.

As for whether these people were really instigated by the Germans, Merkulov has never doubted this. In his opinion, the more than 400 experts here are all suspected. In front of the ministry, no one can be completely innocent. Just as he asked for another name to be added for the sake of the beauty of the data, then Major Roshka would definitely be able to find out someone's treason.

As for Major Roshka, this guy from a lumberjack background is a big boss. He doesn’t even fully recognize the words in the documents. He was promoted to his current rank only by relying on his "excellent performance" in the suppression of counter-revolutionaries. In Merkulov's eyes, such talents are the most loyal Bolsheviks, and even with the sword, they will not betray their motherland.

"German Security Directorate...German High Command Intelligence Bureau...The Eye of Odin." Merkulov opened a document in his hand, frowning and reading the contents carefully.

"What an awesome opponent." Merkulov stroked a photo clipped on the file with his finger. It can be seen that this photo was taken secretly on the street. It shows a group of German Army officers walking down the steps of the Chancellery. A female school officer walking in the middle has a mesmerizing smile on her face.

"Colonel Vogelinde Kirsten...?" Major General Merkulov picked up the red and blue pencils and drew a circle on Kirsten's head.

"His full name is Vsevorod Nikolayevich Merkulov, the first deputy commissar of the Soviet People’s Internal Affairs Commission, the director of the State Administration of Political Security, and the third-level national security commissioner. , Equivalent to a major general in the army.” said a middle-aged officer wearing a black uniform of the General Security Bureau, pointing at Merkulov on the wall screen with a pointer in his hand.

"He and Beria are classmates, they used to study at the Baku Technical School together, but then he went to St. Petersburg~IndoMTL.com~It was 1913, when it was the capital of the Russian Empire. He did I entered St. Petersburg University and majored in science.” The SS major made a gesture, and the projectionist quickly changed a slide.

A photo of a young Merkulov in the uniform of a non-commissioned officer of the Russian Imperial Army appeared on the screen.

"After he graduated, he joined the Russian Army. Because of his higher education, he was directly appointed as a non-commissioned officer. When the Russian revolution broke out, he turned to join the Soviet Red Army. The next one." A pointer was given.

"From 1921 to 1931, he has been serving on the Georgia Anti-Revolutionary Committee. Because of his previous relationship with Beria, he was appointed as the first secretary of Georgia since 31 Beria transferred to her side to deal with party affairs for the latter.

During that period of time, he spent a lot of thoughts on flattering that old classmate, and he was quickly regarded as a confidant by Beria. After Beria served as the People's Commissar of the Interior in March 8th, he was promoted to the First Deputy People's Commissar and Director of the State Administration of Political Security.

This person is not very good at intelligence work. He is better at internal counter-revolution and purges. Because of this, he is very trusted by Stalin and Beria. This time Stalin sent this person to Berlin. Come, it is obvious that he has a very important mission. The detailed information about this person has been sent to your office, Colonel Kirsten. "The major retracted the pointer and stood respectfully by the screen.

A light on the top of the auditorium came on, and Kirsten got up from the sofa in the middle of the front row and walked to the screen.

"Major General Vsevorod Nikolaevich Merkulov...?"

Looking at the energetic Major General of the Interior Department in the picture, Kirsten narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly.
