Inside the Leningrad KGB Bureau, the usual relaxed and happy working atmosphere has been replaced by a tense atmosphere, and everyone can't help but focus on the door of the director's office, hoping that they are not the next guy to be called in.
"Valentin Ivanovich, please come here" As the office door was pushed open, a middle-aged man walked to his seat with his face covered in a decadent manner, and the desolate figure made everyone feel the same way Valentin Ivanovich, who was called by name, walked into the director's office with trepidation and gently closed the door.
The director motioned for Valentin to sit in his seat, and then spoke: "Valentin, I regret to inform you that your career in the KGB is coming to an end, thank you for your contributions over the years" "Leader, why why me, is there something wrong with my job" Valentin could not believe his ears, he was outraged, he did not understand why he had lost his job in the KGB.
"Valentin, I'm sorry it's not something I can decide, the higher authorities have asked to streamline the staffing and funding of our domestic staff, and about half of the personnel in our department will be laid off, and then diverted to various business units," the supervisor patiently explained to Valentin.
"I, where will I be assigned," Valentin asked in despair.
"Probably the security department of the Leningrad shipyard, the comrades of the personnel department will come to talk to you in detail about the specific matter, are there any other questions?"
the director said coldly.
"Leader, I still have two children to raise, if I am assigned to the shipyard, will my income be the same as in the past?"
asked Valentin carelessly.
"Valentin, I'm sorry" The director shattered Valentin's last illusion with a sentence of regret.
Valengin leaned back in his chair, the blow of losing a good job made him a little unable to accept the reality, and the supervisor saw that Valenkyin did not intend to leave for a long time.
Although he was sympathetic, there were dozens of people he had to interview today, and it would not work if everyone did this.
"Comrade Valentin, if you want to open a little, maybe the work of the shipyard will be better, at least it is not as frequent as we work overtime here, okay, go and say goodbye to my colleagues, I will continue to talk to the comrades in the back."
"Boom" Valentin suddenly stood up and slapped the table hard.
"Go to the KGB, Lao Tzu is on a mission outside, and he didn't even catch up with his father's death, why don't you fire me, ah Lao Tzu investigation officer, when the family was sent bullets, why didn't you fire me now, I can't even sit here for a while" Valentin angrily pointed to the supervisor's nose and scolded, he felt that the grievances in his heart finally had a place to vent, and he had never been so happy in his life.
After venting, Valentin kicked the chair next to him, then turned around and walked out of the director's office, slamming the door slammed.
Anyway, he doesn't belong to the KGB anymore, so naturally he doesn't need to be flattered.
Valentin left the office like crazy, all his colleagues stared at his back and felt a little sad, and the atmosphere in the office became even more depressing.
Valentin is not unemployed, and of course Valentin is not unemployed.
Because the USSR did not allow unemployment to exist.
But after leaving the KGB and being sent to the shipyard, the income is really one heaven and one earth.
Because the KGB field staff has a lot of gray income, such as bringing some best-selling goods from abroad and selling them, etc., these are the main sources of income for everyone, and if you leave the KGB, this money will be gone.
After Valentin left, the supervisor stood in front of the office door and looked at everyone with some embarrassment, he looked around at everyone and found that everyone had no intention of doing things.
No, there is one person who is an exception.
"Valoja, please come over for a moment," the Director said suddenly.
Vladimir was interrupted by the Director's voice, and he buckled the pen in his hand, stood up, and slowly walked towards the Director's office.
The colleagues around did not expect that the next person to be called to talk to him would be him, Vladimir.
Vladimir has been doing well in recent years and is the most likely to be promoted in this office.
If even he were forced to leave the KGB, no one would be surprised that he had been laid off.
Vladimir is also very nervous at the moment, he and his wife are now living in the luxurious dormitory left for them by Seryosha of Leningrad University, and they are not thinking about real estate for the time being.
But life in Leningrad is so stressful that you can't feel the pain of rising prices in the state stores, because prices are controlled by the state, but it's hard to buy things that are suitable.
The black market has a wide variety of goods, but the prices in state stores are several times higher.
Vladimir closed the door gently, he had already made up his mind, even if he was transferred, he could not lose his dignity, it was a big deal to go to his friends to help Seryosha has now become a deputy minister, and if he can't do it, he will go his way.
The Director sighed and said, "Valodya, you may have heard something as well, that our KGB is asking for changes in terms of establishment and personnel.
The central government has reduced the funding for our activities, so in the future our domestic operations may face adjustments, and a large number of intelligence officers engaged in domestic operations will leave the KGB, so" "Leader, don't worry, I will obey the arrangement," Vladimir said in a serious but powerful tone.
"Valodya, I have studied with the director, we want to assign you to the East German side to be in charge of economic intelligence analysis, I wonder if you are willing to work abroad," the director said in a low voice.
"Ah yes, of course yes, thank you for your leadership" Valoda said excitedly, originally thought that being called in was about a job transfer, but he didn't expect to get a better errand and go to East Germany to work.
East Germany is rich, it is still at the forefront of the Cold War, Brezhnev said that East Germany is a showcase for socialism, and the supply of materials there is much better than that of the Soviet Union.
"Valojia, it's been a sensitive period recently, so don't tell other comrades about this matter, give you a big vacation during this time, and settle down at home.
By the way, if you have been engaged in intelligence work abroad for a long time, you can bring your family members with you, and report your wife's situation to the organization, so that the organization can arrange a new identity for you in East Germany." t1706231537:
