Chapter 1127 – The Pinkowski Case

“Alyosha? What’s wrong?” Foltseva asked of her own accord, looking at her son who wanted to speak.

“Mother!” Alexeyev wore a difficult expression and finally smiled bitterly, “How did you know?”

So it was this matter? Foltseva realized, stretched out her finger for her son to sit beside her and explained, “The members of the Central Presidium, too, have their own sons, you don’t need to know what happened, but you need to know that your mother won’t lie to you, and everything she does is for your own good.”

At this time, Foltseva was no longer the cultural tsar who made the whole cultural world not dare to breathe. It was just the mother who was concerned about her child’s development, “I don’t want you to enter such a department at all, once you develop in the security services, the time ahead will inevitably be accompanied by struggles, intrigues, and bloodshed, and people will probably be afraid of you.”

“Why should they fear a purge worker? Still not doing what they shouldn’t?” Alexeyev asked back with an expressionless face, “Now that imperialism has surrounded the motherland, the need for the unity of the whole country is all the greater, some necessary means are inevitable, and someone has to do such things.”

“I can’t talk to you, where the hell is the original obedient child?” Furtseva was a bit exasperated, lamenting the relentlessness of time, how his son had become what he was today.

If he was there, surely he would have been able to convince the child, right? That deft mouth could turn black into white.

Foltseva has long tried to stop, hoping that his son will be able to graduate and work according to schedule, the time to go to school, the time to go to work, but his son has already made up his mind, as a mother, she ultimately compromised in the face of persistence of his son.

This time Foltseva, seeing that her son would inevitably become a member of the Lubyanka, enrolled him in the Directorate of Domestic Intelligence and asked him to keep an eye on Pinkovsky. With a mother such as a member of the Central Presidium, it was only natural that Alexeyev, after a few months of staking out the city, would be able to capture this high-ranking intelligence officer.

In a sense, Pinkovsky was his predecessor, having been sent to the Soviet Academy of Military Diplomacy after the war and absorbed into the Intelligence Bureau of the Soviet General Staff, where in 1956 he was appointed military attaché at the Soviet Embassy in Turkey.

After returning from Turkey, he entered the Dzerzhinsky Artillery Engineering Institute to study new missile technology and won the first place in the school, and then Pinkovsky was selected to coordinate the work of the State Security Committee, dismissed from his post and was captured, he had already ranked at the rank of general, for just forty-two years of age, it can be said that the future is bright.

No one could have imagined that a high-ranking officer with a promising future would commit treason.

Pinkovsky was caught red-handed, together with his contact, and the briefcase he was carrying contained a large amount of Soviet military secrets, so it could be said that everyone was caught.

This makes Shemicha Sneh extremely angry, the initial check of human relations, the former chairman of the State Security Committee General Serov, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense Marshal Valentsov and General Pusovny, fell into Shemicha Sneh’s line of sight, which has involved the military high level.

Then the Directorate of Internal Intelligence found in Pinkowski’s office the photographs of Pinkowski on a visit abroad, wearing the uniforms of a British and an American colonel, and there was nothing to hesitate about.

Semichasne left Lubyanka and drove to his home, informing him that there was a big case of espionage involving the former chairman of the KGB, military marshals and generals.

Listening to Semichasne’s words, Shelepine was also shocked, his former KGB chairman, the Defense Ministry’s marshal and general? This was indeed no longer an ordinary case, it was definitely a big case, “How did you catch him?”

“I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m not quite sure.” Semichasne shook his head, “But that little guy, he was indeed a purge worker for the Directorate of Domestic Defense Intelligence, and here’s a picture of him, left behind during the escort of Pinkovsky to Lubyanka.”

Slepian, looking at it, could not help smiling bitterly, “If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.”

“Shurik? What’s the matter?” Semichasne also took the picture and looked at it twice, “You know this little guy.”

“I’ve met him a few times, this is Ekaterina III’s son.” Still not out of his thoughts, Serepin spoke of Foltseva’s neighborhood nickname. He didn’t know the term godforsaken, but the situation at hand was apparently about the same.

Pinkovsky’s noblemen on the road of life, there was his former KGB chairman, Grand Admiral Serov, a Field Marshal of the Defense Ministry, a Grand Admiral, and who would have thought that such a general in his early forties, a high-ranking intelligence officer in the military, would have made a move to betray the motherland, and if it had gone on, God only knew when such a level of treachery would have been discovered.

The party that captured Pinkovsky, the father is the Soviet Union Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Fei Liubin, the mother is even more remarkable, is a member of the Central Presidium of the USSR, the Central Secretary, the Minister of Culture Foltseva.

This makes Shelepin, who thinks he has seen the big picture, also can’t help but marvel at the fact that both the captured and the captor come from such a big place.

“Confessions come first!” Shelepin got up and walked twice in front of Semichasne, “We want the truth.”

“Shurik, you think this is about politics?” Semichasne inquired in a speculative tone with a frown.

“That’s unlikely, there’s no reason for the Foltseva’s to have a problem with the military, and if that’s the case, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t know about it.” Shelepin had also been the KGB chairman, and although he had now left the KGB, his influence over the intelligence agency was retained with Semichasne’s succession.

Shelepin gave the advice to investigate thoroughly, and if this was the truth, and had nothing to do with either the culture tsar couple or Pinkowski’s connections in the military, do what you have to do.

“He’s a piece of iron and I can make him talk.” Semichasne assured, his age is not big, this year is only only thirty-six years old, after the inauguration of the head of the security department directly refreshed the age of the lower limit.

Semichasne hadn’t expected to come across such a big case when he’d only been on the job for less than a month.

Lubyanka internal prison temperature, this day is particularly cold, Pinkovsky became the latest honored guest, just just now dressed in a large general’s uniform Semichasne has come to a trip, through the barred window, looking at this after his own appointment, came in the first honored guest for a long time.

“Twenty-four hours of round-the-clock interrogation, and I want him to remember how many times he has wet his bed.” Shemichasne instructed as he stood with his arms folded, “He’s an intelligence officer with strong counter-surveillance experience, he won’t be easy to deal with.”

“I understand that interrogation is difficult, if normal interrogation is not fruitful, can we get on the Tranquilizer?” Chekalov Georgadze asked to try his top officer.

“It would be best not to! But if this traitor resists, it’s no big deal. Chekalov, the matter must be considered after all means have been used.” Semichasne mused for a long time, and gave the word, “Begin ……”

Pinkovsky was quickly brought to the interrogation room, and just as he took his seat, the searchlight in the interrogation room facing Pinkovsky’s face was turned on with a snap, and at first there was no difference between this searchlight and a normal light, but as time passed it became brighter and brighter, illuminating Pinkovsky’s face so brightly that he couldn’t open his eyes, and he couldn’t see clearly where his own interrogator was in front of him.

On the opposite side of Pinkowski’s face, the interrogator under the searchlight, on the other hand, clearly saw the whole process of Pinkowski’s face appearing to change, under this kind of light, Pinkowski’s face, not to mention the subtle expression of nothing to hide, even the face of the once what injuries are clear.

The direction of the capillaries, the face of the former pockmarks, sebum are all visible, the operating table lamp is also a figure of fun. The real big light always belongs to the powerful department.

As the interrogation proceeded, the entire interrogation room was filled with the smell of burning, and the paint on the searchlight couldn’t withstand, this kind of uninterrupted interrogation.

And in the other interrogation room, Regwell, the respected British Empire gentleman, mentioned the American connector who was subsequently captured, making today’s Lubyanka’s inner prison bustling with activity.

The so-called powerful organs, Lubyanka naturally also good use of the prisoner’s dilemma, how many vicious bandits can not carry, let alone belong to three different countries intelligence officers.

After a day and a night, the internal prison filled with a pungent smell of burning, when the long-lasting.

Semichasne had already rushed to the Kremlin with the interrogation records, a mere major general was not in Semichasne’s eyes.

But it is necessary to continue a thorough investigation, to take measures against such people as marshals, generals, former presidents. Of course this is within Lubyanka’s power, but Khrushchev’s approval is still necessary.

“The world will surely be shocked by this.” Khrushchev was clenching his fists and yelling in front of Kozlov, “I guarantee that as soon as the experiment is successful. No one will dare to say a word against the Soviet Union.”

Semichasne came in just in time to see the Soviet Union’s First Secretary self-absorbed, and after a moment’s hesitation, chose to tell the truth, “First Secretary, I’ve come to report on a matter that may require your approval ……”

A few minutes later, Khrushchev’s angry voice resounded in the office, “Investigate for me, no matter whether it is a marshal or a general, it is imperative that the imperialists lurk spies in the motherland, and dig out the poisonous tumors to me.”

Khrushchev’s hard-won good mood disappeared when he saw the transcript of the interrogation in this spy case.

The First Secretary’s attitude had been made clear, and the purge workers of the Directorate of Domestic Defense Intelligence immediately departed from Lubyanka for the Ministry of Defense, along with Marshal Valenov and the others, as well as to exercise control over their families.

“Prepare a car, I’m going to visit Comrade Ekaterina.” Semichasne instructed, taking the microphone.
