Chapter 177: "Kremlin" bodyguards
"The chief officer needs a few strong staff, otherwise he will be exhausted to death!" -- Now Lin Jun can understand the meaning of this sentence very well. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On August 31, he had been in the armament department for three days in a row, and he did not even go out of the office door except for the necessary needs. The National Defense Committee has already prepared an office for Lin Jun, but he is still used to working in the equipment department, and if he moves his own group of staff officers, it will not be easy to settle, and the committee will have to vacate a few offices, so it is still easy to do things in the old place.
Every day when I wake up, I have to face the mountains of confidential documents sent by Pauckel, and it is worth "glading" that my office director has classified all the documents that need to be handled by himself, and the importance of various official documents is also clear at a glance, which makes Lin Jun's workload much less.
Too tired from work, sometimes have to complain and complain, and the finger is pointed at the People's Commissar of Defense: Voroshinov even has time to go to several theaters in Moscow every week to watch a play or ballet! I really don't know if Voroshinov is beyond ordinary people or "lazy"? In Lin Jun's opinion, it should be the possibility of the latter, but this complaint can only be complained by himself, and it is not good for people to hear it.
Several Deputy People's Commissars of Defense have already undertaken most of the work, leaving Voroshinov with the right to decide, and Lin Jun is simply doing it by himself, let alone Voroshinov's intervention. Coupled with a group of staff members with outstanding ability and rich experience, the People's Commissars certainly had time to go to the theater, leaving behind a group of "hard-working people".
Today, it is rare to approve all the official documents that need to be processed in half a morning, and stretch out and leave the desk.
Next door to me is Pauckel's office, which is accessible through two soundproof doors. His office is a bit like a large hallway, with three doors connected to it: one to his rest suite, one to Pauckel's office, and the last to the office of the confidential secretary Gusev.
The buildings left over from the Tsarist period allow everyone to have three routes to choose from when they go to dinner, and they have to admire the intentions of the original house designers - there are emergency escape passages in the lounge, and the secret door in the wall can be directly connected to the original block park outside the compound through the secret passage in the wall, but now that block park is also within the scope of the equipment department, Lin Jun doesn't need this secret passage, but feels that there are secret doors in the places where he sleeps, which feels weird, and it has been sealed.
"Comrade Andrei, what are your orders?"
Seeing Lin Jun come to his office, Pauker stood up from behind his desk and said.
"I haven't seen Landscoch in the past few days, did he go to the hospital?"
He didn't walk out of the gate of the equipment department for several days in a row, and he didn't see Landscoch during dinner, which made Lin Jun feel a little strange: did this kid go to the hospital where Vuginskaya worked to find a nurse according to his previous "instructions".
Disappearing without saying hello to himself, Lin Jun could only think of this reason.
"It's me who didn't arrange it, Comrade Andrei." Pauker felt that he had made a mistake in his work: "A few days ago a batch of new equipment was sent from Izhevsk, and Landskoc, in accordance with our orders, has been directing the guards to adapt to the new equipment for the past few days. ”
Pauckel's fears were justified: he temporarily transferred the "real" captain of the guard without informing the leadership, and if the chief had suspicions, it would be a big deal. Because Lin Jun has already said that he will not leave the equipment department during this time, and he will not need the guards. While this was entirely within his purview, and he had been doing so during his time in the Kremlin, Pauckel's sophistication had made trouble for himself.
smiled slightly: "I'm just asking, this kind of thing is up to you, I said it." ”
Lin Jun trusts his chief of staff (which can also be called a personal adjutant), and has also made it clear that this kind of security matter will be arranged by Paul. He knew why Pauckel was restless - he was managing his chores in the usual way of the Kremlin Security Service, and it had been shown to be the most effective way of working, but if Lin Jun had "doubted" like Stalin, he would have survived.
He said that he didn't report everything to himself, which made the serious Bauckel feel at ease. Last time, Stalin added himself a personal guard of 30 people, all of whom were the best guards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, real "Kremlin bodyguards". In the previous life, when the troops were inspected by the head of the Central Committee, they had seen the "Zhongnanhai Bodyguards" from afar, and now they have such a team of guards of the same level, and the leader of this team is Landscoche.
It's just that this team of guards is not needed in Moscow, which is probably the safest city in the world, not to mention that the place where he works and lives is heavily guarded and cannot be dangerous.
Although Stalin hoped that his love would always be under the best protection, Lin Jun himself prepared the guards for his own inspection of remote areas.
Stalin would never let the tragedy of Kirov repeat itself, and the "rebellion" had completely dealt with those "dangerous people", and now that the members of the Central ****** Committee were in Moscow with three or two guards, Lin Jun would be conspicuous if he made a big deal -- he was not the American president who would go out and hug him all the time in the future, and he would have to worry about whether extremists would aim sniper rifles at him, or that Uncle Ben's supporters would carry an anti-tank missile and want to blow him up into the sky.
This is a certain self-confidence of the Soviets: they are safe in communist land, and the Soviet people are the best bodyguards of the leaders - otherwise the drama-loving Voroshinov will become "the least welcome in Moscow"!
Do you have to come to the opera every weekend to see the opera in a big way?!
From Lin Jun's tone and expression, it can be seen that the chief has no intention of blaming, which can be seen by Pauker.
"It's okay at noon, where are they training, go and see."
、、、、、、
In fact, Western writers during the Cold War have given them a very good understanding of the term "Soviet secret police", but it is not the same concept as the agents of the "KGB", most of the troops in it are combat units, but the tasks performed are different from those of the general field troops, more like the current Russian "alpha special forces", At that time, some of them were trained to become the best security guards. At the training base, Landscoch and his guards lined up to meet the chief's inspection.
I haven't paid attention to these newly transferred guards for a long time, and now I really have an indescribable taste: the people in front of the queue feel really strange about themselves!
The 30 men are arranged from tall to short, and their stature is by no means pleasing to the eye like that of the guard of honor: if the shortest one stood next to the big tall man next to Landscoch, it would give people the feeling of "dwarf". At 1.85m, Landscoch was at the head of the queue, with the big man next to him being a head taller than him, and the shortest, stocky little man at most 1.65m.
If we generally think that the "Zhongnanhai bodyguards" need to be first-class in figure and appearance, it doesn't seem to be unexpected, otherwise how could Alexander send such a team of guards to himself, and the image of several of them is really not flattering.
Of course, there are also a dozen handsome guys like Landscoch, and a few are "mortals" who are thrown into the pile of people and no one knows, but the largest ones are as alive as a few big bears - because they have just had a round of training, and Lin Jun arrived suddenly, 30 people are not dressed neatly, most of them are only wearing undershirts, the time is already noon, it is estimated that everyone is preparing to take a shower and eat. The chest hair of those big bears that has not yet "evolved" is particularly conspicuous: not chest hair to be exact, because they are covered with "fur" all over their bodies!
If it's weird, this figure is not the weirdest, these people's equipment is what makes Lin Jun feel like time and space are out of order! - Although they were not neatly dressed, everyone finally brought their military hats and weapons and equipment.
Have you ever seen a soldier wearing a Budyonny peaked military hat and holding an AK47 on his chest? There are several familiar standard 3-magazine magazine pouches on the chest and abdomen (some people are used to calling them magazine belts or magazine bags). Lin Jun has opened his eyes today! Until now, the standard military caps of the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the political and industrial units were still the Budyonny military caps, not the new boat-shaped caps - the Budyonny caps that "belonged" to the civil war were matched with the AK47, and nothing could be stranger than this.
But there are "more excessive" things: apparently these 30 people are three independent groups, equipped with different weapons, three guys are carrying RPG-7s behind their backs, and there are three in their hands that at first glance are the new light machine guns that Degtyalev said - the 100-round cartridge chain feeding RPD (prototype of the Type 56 light machine gun) in Lin Jun's impression.
"Even the experimental light machine guns that I haven't handled here are equipped, and the speed of the Degtyalev is fast enough!"
There are also two people who are not ordinarily "excessive", the standard salute of holding guns, but the weapons in their hands are Mosin-Nagan improved sniper rifles.
I really don't understand, are these people their own guards or some unknown special forces?! In Lin Jun's opinion, it may be more appropriate to equip these people alone as three reconnaissance detachments that go deep behind enemy lines.
In his previous life, Comrade Lao Pu's guards often had an AK series assault rifle, but they didn't have the impression that the guards of that important person even used light machine guns, rocket launchers, and sniper rifles?!。
"Comrade Andrey, the 30 members of the guard have been assembled, and one person is absent, please review!"
The lead Landscoch came out of the report.
Lin Jun didn't walk through it as he usually did during the inspection, but asked about the past one by one.
Why is one missing? A sniper sprained his ankle during morning training and is being treated in the infirmary.
"What's your name?" Lin Jun walked in front of the big man at the top of the queue, only to find that this "big bear" was estimated to be two meters tall and weighed more than 120 kilograms.
"Alyosha Nikolayevich Pavlov, Comrade Andrei."
"Where?"
"My hometown is in Penza, Comrade Andrey."
"What is your role in the Guard?"
Lin Jun wanted to get to know these players well.
"If it's a general mission, I'm your shield, and if it's an assault mission, I'm a heavy fireman."
Lin Jun can understand what he means, he will be his own meat shield in the future, and Alyosha will be the best deterrent if he is even more "Devil Terminator" than the Devil Terminator. This "heavy firepower" is also worthy of its name, in addition to the RPD on his chest, I found that he was carrying an RPG-7 behind his back, I don't know if he just helped other team members to accompany him or use it himself, but these two relatively heavy weapons in the infantry are relatively small compared to Alyosha's figure.
Lin Jun raised his hand and patted Alyosha on the shoulder—this is a body that may block bullets for himself in the future.
One team member asked one team member after another, the two snipers equipped with sniper rifles were what Lin Jun was most curious about, he had never seen a "Zhongnanhai bodyguard" armed with a sniper rifle in history, and the task of the guards was to prevent the threat to the chief at close range - what did Stalin and Alexander think?! It is common to set up your own snipers in advance in the dangerous area where VIPs pass, but these three snipers obviously do not exist for this, they are all Lin Jun's personal bodyguards, which is the most incomprehensible.
After being introduced, it was learned that these two snipers have always been the first-class snipers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when they go on missions in the future, they will not leave this sniper rifle except for the pistol they carry with them. plus the one who didn't arrive, the three snipers have their own characteristics, the one who didn't arrive is good at concealing the "sniper", and the biggest feature of these two is the fast "shot". If the mission requires it, there will be three members of the AK47 team as their observers, but such a mission is unlikely to occur - the head of the personal security will not need this.
Compared with the other team members, the snipers all have one "difference" in common - all three have participated in real wars. The other members of the team have participated in secret small missions, while all three snipers have traveled to Spain as a special force of the Soviets, and have carried out missions on the battlefield, each with more than 30 records.
Lin Jun didn't understand why there were snipers in the guards, and after raising this question, the guards deliberately demonstrated the role of snipers.
Pauker plays the role of Lin Jun, through a simulated city street set, and also uses a tweeter to simulate the cheers of the crowd. And Leonov carried a dummy as an "assassin" and randomly chose the ambush location.
The two gunshots rang out more than a second apart, and after a while, his life secretary came back with a dummy with a hole in his head.
Leonov randomly selected a window, 300 meters away from the 11 people walking through the street, and fired a shot from a rifle at the moment when the dummy's head showed out of the window, and was positioned and "killed" in just over a second!
It has always been a problem for the "guard world" that any guard can deal with threats at close range, but simply no way to deal with snipers at a distance, and these three snipers apparently only gave the Assassin a chance to shoot.
The sniper's request is to kill the enemy with one shot, maybe the assassin will die with just one shot Lin Jun, but this is only maybe. Ri Harvey Osvaldo assassinated Kennedy with more than one shot (there are various theories, some say multiple gunmen fired the shots, but the official version is that Osvaldo quickly fired three shots from his manual single-shot rifle). If the assassin had been killed more than a second after the first shot, Kennedy might not have hung up, Lin Jun understood it.
The role of snipers in the guard is reflected here, but Lin Jun never wants the day when they play a role.
"That's how you practice?"
I was curious, it might be more appropriate for the sniper just now to be called "a super sharpshooter who shoots flying saucers with a sniper rifle", Lin Jun asked this sniper named Boris.
"Report Comrade Andrei, whose family is an Orion in Mirny, Yakutia Autonomous Republic, who learned from his father before joining the army. My father and I have always been able to shoot geese in the air with rifles, and after joining the army, we were selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for intensive training because of this specialty. ”
A sniper who is even better than Vasily Grigorievich Zaitsev, no wonder Soviet servicemen accounted for nine of the top ten sniper aces of World War II! It's just that Boris's shooting skills are more like those in Chinese novels that can shoot down flying pigeons with rifles.
With such a group of super sharpshooters as his bodyguards, Lin Jun didn't know whether to be happy or laughing or crying -- if he had to go out with such a group of guards armed to the teeth and like special forces, it was estimated that it would not only be the talk of some people in the Soviets, but would also become a scenery in the guards of dignitaries in various countries in the world.
