This task sounds very majestic, although the power to suppress the rebellion and supervise the war, although it will still be monitored by the front, the army group and Moscow, but this power means that now the division at the same level Andrei has the right to monitor, if there is anything to shake the morale of the army or defect to the enemy and treason, Andrei can even correct the law on the spot, it needs to be explained, The Ministry of Internal Affairs' direct supervision of the armed forces in wartime is mainly the work of counter-espionage and vacillations, and 41 years ago, the military counter-espionage organs belonged to the state security department, namely the NKVD In February 41, the Central Committee and the government made a decision to abolish the Special Service of the Main Directorate of State Security of the NKVD of the USSR and to establish the military counter-espionage organs in the People's Commissariat of Defense and the People's Commissariat of the Navy, namely the 3rd Directorate of the People's Commissariat of Defense and the 3rd Directorate of the People's Commissariat of the Navy, and the military counter-espionage organs were transferred to the army, but a few weeks after the start of the war, on July 17, 41, the State Defense Committee returned the military counterintelligence organs from the NKVD to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a special service was established, and the head of the Administration was Deputy NKVD ViktorThe head of the Special Department of the Abakumov Army was appointed by Beria, but this reorganization initially involved only the Army, and it was not until January 42 that the Third Directorate of the People's Commissariat of the Navy was reorganized into the Ninth Directorate of the Special Service of the NKVD

In April 43, the NKVD Special Service was again separated, and on the basis of these special services, the General Directorate of the NKVD and the NKVD Anti-Espionage Bureau and the NKVD Anti-Espionage Bureau were established, and the NKVD was responsible for supervising the NKVD's own troops, until the end of the war, the NKVD was no longer responsible for the counter-espionage work of the army, and this work was not returned to the management of the state security department until 46

As can be seen from the above, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' direct supervision of the armed forces lasted only a little more than one year during the war years, and the armed forces were responsible for their own security for most of the entire war period. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, it is to supervise the war, and the typical internal affairs troops are generally deployed 10~20 kilometers behind the front line, performing similar functions to the gendarmerie, such as stopping deserters, preventing enemy sabotage, directing traffic, and conducting infiltration and reconnaissance activities. In the event of a rout and retreat of the troops, the NKVD troops always played the role of battlefield supervisors, and they had the right to fire at any cowards, deserters, and defeatists who tried to retreat in vain to preserve themselves and abandon their positions, and of course the main thing was to persuade them to return to the battlefield.

Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always had the right to manage military discipline, after all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a law enforcement department at its root, and during the period of the purge, there was no less supervision of the army's ideological style, and many people were labeled as spies and wavering elements, and were pressed to the execution ground by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so many Red Army commanders and fighters in the internal affairs forces in blue hats hated it to the core. You can't take yourself with you, this thing is majestic and majestic, but if you can't do it, just wait for someone to shoot a black gun!

Serov didn't know that Andrei's mind was going up and down all at once, and he hurriedly said: "Andrey, what's wrong!" And Andrei didn't want to take on this majestic errand, so he hurriedly said: "Comrade Serov, I still have to be responsible for the defense of the Mamayev post, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to do these important work." ”

And Serov said: "Andrei just asked you to be in charge of the overall decision-making this time, and there will be special personnel to be responsible for the specific tasks, you don't have to worry about this, and do you know why the superiors gave you this task?" ”

Why, Andrei also wanted to know, and then Serov said: "After a long inspection of you by the relevant departments, Comrade Stalin believes that according to your ability, you are fully qualified for more important posts. "Investigation, what investigation?" Serov's words. Andrei looked a little overwhelmed, "But, Comrade Serov, it seems that I have never been inspected by my superiors?" ”

Then Serov said: "When a higher leader inspects a cadre, it will be when necessary. Put a comrade in a different environment to exercise, investigate, and observe. Sometimes, you don't even know that it is a test of your superiors, and you think that you have been punished for some mistake. As everyone knows, in fact, your every move is in the process of organizing the troops' inspection, and only by passing all the tests will you have the opportunity to go further. Some commanders, unknowingly, thought that their future was over, and began to give up on themselves, so they were quickly eliminated. And you have made great achievements from before the war to the present!

After a year of observation and testing of you, not only Comrade Beria, but also the Supreme Commander himself believes that you are fully capable of assuming a higher command position.

Moreover, our Ministry of Internal Affairs also wants to keep a talent like you, and Comrade Zhukov has hoped more than once to transfer you to the Red Army units! ”

I see, Andrei now knows that this is both a danger but also an opportunity, and he has a chance to go further, and when he heard this, Andrei replied: "Comrade Serov, since this is the case, I will do my best to serve the great Soviet, but I hope you will grant me a request!" ”

"What a request, you say!" Serov saw that Andrei was willing to accept the heavy responsibility, and now he was very generous and could meet Andrei's trivial and small requests.

Andrei said: "Comrade Serov, next you said that there will be special people to deal with it, but because I am the supreme commander in charge, I hope that they will never question and directly contact my superiors, you know that this will shake my command authority!" "In fact, Andrei knew that there must be someone sent by his superiors around him, otherwise he would not have run to Beria for the battlefield analysis he wrote from memory, because those who have now run to this cruel Stalingrad in Mamayev Posts, if he can't hold it, he can only be shot in the head, otherwise he will only have the death penalty if he goes to a military court, but Andrei has been appointed as the supreme commander after all, so he still doesn't want his command authority to be provoked and unable to work normally!

But Serov smiled and said: "You can rest assured, since the superior has assigned you to be responsible, it is natural to maintain your command authority, a commander must have courage, remember that the orders of the superior cannot be discussed, you can rest assured!" ”

After listening to Serov's words, Andrei was now relieved, and then Serov was ready to return to the east bank, and the two squads of Unit A accompanied him to protect and at the same time went to the Caucasus with Serov, and Andrei did not know that shortly after this battle, he would also go to the Caucasus to carry out an order that would seem cruel to later generations!
