Ukraine.

Two Austin armored vehicles galloped from north to south along the road towards the Ukrainian Krivorosh Iron Factory. The common funeral procession outside the car window killed the hungry people on the street, causing Qin Jian, director of the General Administration of Political Security of the All Soviet Union to frown. The pseudonym Ivan Mir took advantage of the October Revolution to lurking into the Soviet Union. Longya, who followed Stalin and saved his life, was reluctant to look back in the face of the tragic situation.

Ukraine is now a hell on earth. The famine that lasted for more than a year has made the entire area silent and deep. From children to middle age, a large number of people die quietly every day, and remote areas even cannibalize people! What's worse is that no one knows the specific death numbers. In order to shirk responsibility, the cadres below conceal and do not report it. So even he only knows that the death toll is about 2 million to 4 million.

In fact, famine is not uncommon in this era, but the two major famines in just ten years can no longer be explained by normal natural disasters. If the first famine was caused by the turmoil of civil war, then most of the reason for this famine that occurred on the Ukrainian grain-producing plain is attributed to Moscow's wrong policies. Because Stalin was overly pursuing industrial development speed beyond his own capabilities, in order to obtain sufficient funds, he has been exporting large quantities of food and raw materials for ten years, resulting in a serious shortage of food reserves.

The Soviet senior executives did not see this danger. They carried out agricultural collectivization under insufficient reserves, and extended political struggles to farmers, suppressing the rich peasants to confiscate their means of production, resulting in millions of rich peasants being deported. In the Urals or Kazakhstan and other regions, such policies were not very impacted, because almost all poor peasants were there. However, Ukraine has always been the richest land in Europe, with a large number of rich peasants. After eradicating the rich peasant class with rich experience in land cultivation, they failed to find a replacement immediately, resulting in a decline in land utilization rate, insufficient extensive farming yield and other problems. Finally, after a major disaster, the food harvest was poor, which eventually led to this disaster.

The grain output suddenly dropped sharply from the estimated 90.7 million tons to 55 million tons, but Moscow lacked reserves due to selling too much grain before. Therefore, since the famine has only allocated 320,000 tons of grain to relieve disasters. 320,000 yuan was used to make up for the 35 million gap, and everyone knows what will happen.

This tragic pain also made Qin Jian even more admire Yang Qiu. It was precisely because before industrialization that he took the lead in launching the "Cheng Cheng Act" by taking advantage of the European War, which greatly promoted the enthusiasm for land reclamation and grain production. This ensured the balance between workers and peasants. Although disasters have continued for decades, such a large-scale famine has never occurred.

When the vehicle was about to arrive at the Krivoroche Steel Factory, the vehicle suddenly slowed down. A skinny father passed by the armored vehicle with his long-dead child holding his limbs. When the soldiers scolded him for giving way, Qin Jian could even see the hatred and numbness shot from his eyes.

After the convoy arrived at the factory area, the people waiting for work were densely blocked traffic at the door. Fortunately, this was a key project for the second five-year plan, so a large number of guard soldiers were deployed. When they saw the convoy, they quickly came over to disperse the crowd and welcomed Qin Jian into the factory.

Krivoroche is one of the most important steel mills in the second five-year plan. Construction started in 1931 and is still under construction. So you can see technicians from the United States, Germany, and even France and Britain along the way. Unlike the outside world, it is very lively and prosperous, and the food for workers and technicians is sufficiently guaranteed.

Mir and the soldiers immediately caused a commotion after getting off the car, especially the sleeves worn by the soldiers scared everyone around them to avoid it. This is a soldier from the Security Bureau! Who would like to provoke these gods of killing? This fear and panic cannot be hidden from Qin Jian's eyes, but he was used to this kind of panic, so he walked into the factory under the leadership of a trembling cadre.

Qin Jian was not interested in collecting the information of the factory in front of him. In fact, there was very little information worth his operation now. The infiltration of Dragon Ya was omnipresent. In addition to the cover of his director, he had already penetrated into all walks of life in the Soviet Union.

"Comrade Gubischoff."

"Comrade Mir? Why are you here?"

Qin Jian quickly found the target of the trip. Soviet industrial designer Gubischoff. Gubischoff was also surprised when he saw him suddenly. The people around him saw the Tatar man with a big beard coming towards him. His heart beat faster, and several people were even scared to take a few steps back.

"The scale here is so big, no wonder you need to come and inspect it in person." Qin Jian pretended to be amazed at the scale of the steel plant, and pointed to the blast furnace being installed in the distance and asked, "Is it an American product?"

"No. It was purchased from Germany." Gubischev replied, but his eyes never left Qin Jian. It was not that the two had any personal relationships. But he was thin and clear, very clear about how terrible Qin Jian and the Political Security Bureau were, Trotsky, hostile forces, internal cleaning, this round of elimination of rich peasants and even many incidents dealing with central personnel. In the Soviet Union, they were veritable secret police and butchers, and they even had the right to kill the enemy without trial.

"Does Comrade Gubischoff like German goods very much?" Qin Jian carried a gun and a stick, but Gubischoff secretly hated him! What does this guy mean? If it was said in the Soviet Union two years ago that it would be fine if he liked Germany, but after Hitler became prime minister, he repeatedly expressed his intention to eliminate the Soviet Union. The conflict between the Soviet and the German Republic increased several times. Who would dare to say that he liked Germany at this time?

Gubishev was very annoyed. He was a committee member no matter what. When did he get a secret policeman leader behaved, he asked his intention for his intention to come here with a cold face: "Comrade Mir, are you here to watch the German steel furnace?"

After successfully angering Gubishefu, Qin Jian was not angry but happy and smiled and said, "Comrade Gubishefu, you misunderstood. I have no other meaning. I have come here for something. I hope you can explain it." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the secretary behind him took out a thick stack of information, and the soldiers following him immediately separated the two from everyone. However, even if they didn't do it, everyone wished that the further away from these "butchers" would be better.

After Gubishev took the document, a hint of nervousness suddenly popped up in his eyes. Because the information on him led the Soviet delegation to purchase large-scale purchases in the United States at that time, the content was so detailed that it was outrageous!

This incident has always been a thorn in his heart! Because he was swept by China in the middle of the process, many of the machines and equipment he wanted to buy were stolen, and the prices soared several times overnight. In the end, the first five-year plan was half a year late, and the cost was billions of rubles higher than expected. After returning to China, Stalin also lost his temper for this. Fortunately, the United States later opened up the free exchange of treasury bonds, and many countries selling the US dollar exchanged gold and hard currency with the Soviet Union, which was left alone.

Originally, he thought that this matter had just passed, but he didn't expect that it would be revealed after a few years! Is it the Security Bureau's private action or... Stalin's instructions? Although this matter is not a big secret, what if someone uses it to make a fuss? You must know that Moscow is not ten years ago now, and you have to be careful every step! So he immediately became nervous, and his throat seemed to be holding back the fire, itchy and uncomfortable, and even his fingers trembled slightly while looking through the documents.

These subtle actions were not hidden from Qin Jian.

Others may not know, but he knew that outsiders thought Stalin was the chief designer of Soviet industry, but in fact Gubishev was the head of the Soviet economy. He expanded food and oil exports, exchanged the collected gold and silver for industrial equipment, secret transactions with Germany and France, and finally used the economic crisis to implement the first and second five-year plans. This person is almost a microcosm of Soviet industry and economy. If the secrets hidden in him could be made public, it would be enough to rewrite a lot of history!

After Qin Jian finished reading it, a cold smile slipped across the corner of his mouth, and his voice suddenly became gloomy: "Comrade Gubischoff, please turn to page 29. This is the bill provided by Comrade Konissev. We found that there were several transactions in it, which were very wrong! Several of them were more expensive than similar ships in the United States at that time."

"This is because China was buying ships in a big way, which caused price fluctuations."

Although Konissev was not a confidant, he was an important assistant to Gubischoff at that time. Defending him was just to defend himself. However, Qin Jian did not have a smile on his face. After hearing this, he took out another document: "Let's take a look at this."

When Gubischoff opened the information again, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back! Because it was an American bank account, the name of the account was the name of the Conies and the wife! The long series of numbers undoubtedly told him that someone in the delegation had taken bribes! To be honest, he was really not clear about this matter, and the American businessman who was eager to sell and cash out at that time did show great enthusiasm to the delegation, and it was normal for one or two people to have problems.

But the problem is that Stalin has been angry because of his five-year plan to exceed the time and spend. Now it is suddenly revealed that someone in the procurement team has taken bribes. Will he take his anger out in anger? It seems that he sees his anxiety, Qin Jian suddenly changed his tone: "Comrade General Secretary is very concerned about this case, but he does not want to wrongly accuse a good person, so he specially asked me to come back to Moscow to investigate clearly. I know that you have nothing to do with this matter, but these corruption elements must be severely punished! They must not be allowed to destroy the hard-won revolutionary results."

A revolutionary result is equivalent to a complete announcement of Konissev's death penalty, and even Gubischev's forehead begins to sweat. He only hopes that this matter will not involve himself.

Since it was Comrade Stalin's instructions, Gubischoff dared not neglect and arranged his work immediately and got into the armored vehicle. Looking at the head of the Soviet economy sitting beside him, Qin Jian's smile became even stronger. After a while, he slowly turned his head and looked at the sky when he came.
