"Volodya, you are right, those Estonians really colluded with the German invading army, provided intelligence to the Germans, and even took up arms to fight for the Germans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fortunately, we were well prepared and planted a number of intelligence agents in the Estonian reactionary organization, so that we could know their specific movements, so that our troops could safely withdraw to the line of defense that bears your name.

Otherwise, our army will not only suffer more losses, but even our logistical supplies and communication lines will be damaged by the enemy, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Historically, Estonian nationalist partisans did fight alongside the Germans against the Soviet army. After the joint capture of Tallinn by the Germans and Estonian partisans, the red flag on the Helman Tower in the city of Tallinn was lowered and replaced with the Estonian flag!

Soon after, however, the Estonian flag was replaced by the flag of the German Imperial Army, and the Estonian armed forces were disarmed by the Germans, and the Estonian dream of independence was shattered.

"Yasha," Manturov said, crossing his legs, looking at Yakov, the deputy head of the General Directorate of State Security, who was wearing a military uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, "those Estonians regard the Germans as their liberators and us as their enemies.

In this case, we will encounter a lot of difficulties when we counterattack Estonia. Not only do we not have the support of the local people, but we are even attacked by the locals, causing unnecessary losses and casualties. ”

Yakov stood up, frowned, and said, "According to the information we have, those Estonians are planning their next move together with the Germans. According to our estimates, it is highly likely that they will attack the fortress of Narva together. ”

"Fortress of Narva?" In Manturov's mind, a clear map of the Soviet Union appeared, "where the only Estonian city still under the control of the Soviet Red Army and at the same time the gateway to Leningrad appeared."

If the fascist invading army had captured Narva, it would have been Leningrad next.

At present, on the Ukrainian side, due to the lack of troops, there is no movement for the time being, and Kyiv is still safe. On the Belarusian side, although the enemy army once broke through the Manturov Line and threatened the security of Minsk, it was quickly eliminated by us, and Army Group Center was greatly damaged, and it should not launch a large-scale offensive for the time being.

However, Germany's Army Group North has won victory at a relatively small cost in the recent war, occupying the three Baltic states, with few losses, still sufficient troops, and in a short period of time, it still has the ability to launch a large-scale attack, and it is very likely to launch a large-scale attack on the Narva area. ”

"It seems that the next target for the Germans should be Narva." Yakov reminded: "On the side of the Red Army, prepare for battle as soon as possible. We, the NKVD, are also sending additional men there to monitor the Estonians in the Narva area. As soon as a suspect is found, we will notify the local garrison and take appropriate action. ”

"Don't worry, the Northern Front is already ready for battle. As soon as the Ministry of Internal Affairs finds a suspicious person, arrest it directly. On behalf of the Red Army of the Soviet Union, on behalf of the People's Commissariat of Defense, I would like to thank the NKVD for its efforts these days. ”

"Volodya, we know each other so well, don't come with me like this." Yakov smiled kindly and said, "Besides, we thought that the Estonians, who were poorly equipped, were no threat to us.

If you hadn't reminded us in time, we wouldn't have paid attention to that there at all, sending so many men to infiltrate the Estonian reactionary organizations and get further information. ”

At this moment, a man dressed as a political commissar (major general) of the third level of national security walked in. He wasn't very tall, he wasn't very handsome, he didn't look imposing, and he had an amiable smile on his face.

He walked up to Manturov and said kindly: "Hello comrade, I am Vsevolod Merkulov, head of the Main Directorate of State Security. ”

In fact, as soon as Melkulov walked in, he had already guessed the identity of the other party from the age and military rank of the other party, but in order to avoid making Manturov suspect that he was prepared, he asked knowingly.

Manturov has always been kind to people, and of course the same is true in front of the famous Merkulov. "Comrade Merkulov! I'm glad to be able to meet you. My name is Vladimir and I work in the People's Commissariat of Defense. ”

"Vladimir?" Melkulov looked at Manturov's young face, and then at his general's epaulettes, "You are Comrade Vladimir Manturov, Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and Deputy People's Commissar of Defense?" ”

"That's right, it's me." At this time, Manturov suddenly remembered a question, hoping to get an answer from Melkulov, "Comrade Merkulov, I received a drawing of the German VK4501 tank (Tiger tank) obtained by the General Directorate of State Security before, how did you get this drawing?" ”

Melkulov was a notoriously "gentleman", he smiled kindly, and even sat very upright, not at all like a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who "kills without blinking". "Comrade Manturov, do you want to make sure that the source of our information is reliable?"

"Yes," replied Manturov, "but I would like to know more how did you get your information?" ”

"This was obtained by our comrades who were lurking in Germany at the risk of their lives. As a result of our efforts, our intelligence network has infiltrated Porsche, Henschel and Messerschmidt, and is currently attempting to penetrate the Focke-Wolf aircraft factory, as well as into the Wehrmacht and SS. ”

Originally, these things about the infiltration of spies were secrets of the General State Security Bureau, and it was not convenient to disclose them to outsiders, but after all, Manturov was a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Defense and one of the members of the Supreme Command, so it didn't hurt to let him know.

Although Melkulov showed his cards and frankly confessed the news of the infiltration of Soviet spies into German arms manufacturers, this remark only aroused more questions.

Historically, the Soviet Union did establish an intelligence network in Germany, carrying out infiltration. However, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war in 1941, these hidden intelligence agents lost contact, and although they received a lot of valuable information, they could not convey it to the Soviet Union, wasting their intelligence talents and resources.

But how did the Ministry of the Interior manage to infiltrate the Soviet Union and get in touch with the Soviet Union in Manturov's world, where intelligence agents embedded in Germany were not only able to get in touch with the Soviet Union, but also infiltrated Porsche and Henschel (tank manufacturers) to obtain drawings for the Tiger tank?
