That night, a team of officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly arrived at the Kremlin's armory.

Since Babushkin had been taken away secretly, the person in charge is now a captain named Kudov. He was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the lights in the room were on. When he woke up from his sleep, he was about to have an attack, but he heard a stern voice: "We are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone will gather outside immediately."

As soon as Kudov opened his eyes, he was pulled from the bed by two soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and urged him: "Hurry up, put on his clothes and gather outside."

A few minutes later, Kurdov put on his clothes and boots, and walked out of his room under the escort of the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When he came outside, he saw five armory administrators standing on the open space outside, and surrounded by soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with guns and ammunition.

Seeing this scene, Kudoff's heartbeat accelerated unsatisfactorily, and he couldn't help but recall the terrifying time a few years ago.

He turned his head and asked the warrior who escorted him, "Where is the commander you lead? I have something to say to him."

The soldier didn't talk nonsense and pulled him aside. There were several officer-like people standing here, one of whom was a captain, and there was a young female lieutenant standing beside the captain.

"Comrade Captain," Although Kudov, like the other party, has the rank of captain, the other party is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is a little higher than himself. Therefore, when he spoke, his tone was a little cautious: "I am one of the heads of the Armory. I want to ask, what are you doing when you come to the Armory in the middle of the night?"

"When the time is right, I will tell you the reason." The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs glanced at the armory administrators not far away and asked the female lieutenant beside him: "Are all the personnel in the armory here?"

"The armoury is organized with eight people." The female lieutenant replied: "Except for the person in charge, Major Babushkin and Nayi, the rest of the people are here."

After hearing this, the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nodded and immediately ordered: "Search it for me!"

As the order was issued, the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs standing nearby immediately dispersed. Some went to search the residences of the armory administrators, while others went directly to the warehouse where weapons and ammunition were stored.

Seeing someone trying to open the door of the ammunition depot, Kudoff was anxious: "Stop, stop! That's the armory. No one is allowed to open it without the orders of the superiors."

But the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued an order and said with fearlessness: "We searched the armory by Comrade Beria's order."

When he learned that Beria was someone who asked someone to search the armory, Kudov could only shut up obediently. He was just a small captain, but he was not qualified to question the orders issued by the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs.

The soldiers who had completed the search of the administrator's dormitory soon came over to report to the captain: "Comrade Captain, we have searched the dormitory, and there is nothing we want to leave in it."

When he saw the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nodding and letting the soldiers stand aside, Kudov asked in wonder: "Comrade Captain, what are you looking for?"

The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still did not give the answer, but said coldly: "When you try what you should know, you will know naturally." After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Kudov, but turned his attention to the location of the armory.

Not long after, several soldiers walked out of the ordnance warehouse, one of them still had something in his hand.

They came to the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, raised their hands to salute, and reported excitedly: "Comrade Captain, we found a radio station and a password book in the ordnance warehouse."

The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took the codebook, looked through it twice, and handed it to the female lieutenant next to him, and said excitedly: "Lieutenant Alina, it seems that the major you mentioned is very accurate in judgment. They did hide a radio station in the ordnance warehouse."

"Well," Ensign Alina nodded and echoed: "I have had several dealings with Major Sokov and knew that his judgment was accurate, so I would recommend searching the armory overnight so that I would not secretly transfer the radio station after being noticed by my fellow party members who had missed the internet."

"I don't understand a little." The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stared at the radio station held by the soldiers and asked in confusion: "Since they have a radio station, why do they have to use the stupid method of sending people to intelligence? You must know that doing so is not only slow, but also the risk of exposing their identity."

"The reason is very simple." Alina explained: "Although sending telegrams is the fastest way, don't forget that the telecommunications monitoring in the Kremlin is also the strictest. If you find any unknown radio signal, you will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. In this way, the lurking enemies are at risk of exposure, so they can only send people to convey messages and keep in touch with people outside."

"So that's how it is." The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned to look at the armory administrators who were under the supervision of the soldiers and asked, "What should they do?"

"There are no rules among them that there will be spies." Arina said: "Correstrain them first and others will take over their posts. As for how to deal with it, I will go back and ask Major Sokov."

Seeing that the soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were about to take him away, Kudoff suddenly became anxious. He asked loudly at the Captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Comrade Captain, why should we take us away? Do you always give us a legitimate reason?"

The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs walked up to him and said indifferently: "Since you want to know the answer so much, I can tell you. Someone in the armory colluded with German agents and was about to put them secretly into the Kremlin, provide them with weapons and sabotage them in the palace. You guys are all suspicious, so you must take you back for review."

"Comrade Captain, are you mistaken? How could someone in the armory collude with German agents outside?" Kudov said dissatisfiedly: "Besides, Major Babushkin, the head of the armory, is not here. If he comes back and finds that we are not here, how do you explain to him?"

"You don't want to see Major Babushkin, then follow us." The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sneered: "You can meet your superior Major Babushkin in Lubiyanka's prison, and he has been imprisoned by us."

"What, Major Babushkin was arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Kudov was shocked and asked in a panic expression: "When did this happen?"

"If you have any questions, you can ask your major in person after you arrive at the prison." After saying that, the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Come, take them all away."

After Kudow and others were taken away, Alina said to the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Comrade Captain, I want to go back to participate in the interrogation and send someone to take over the armory, and I will leave it to you."

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Alina." Although his military rank is three levels higher than Alina, the Captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very respectful. Because he received the news, Lieutenant Alina went to perform a secret mission some time ago and was praised by the Supreme Commander himself. Maybe in a while, he will be commended. Not only will he be able to get medals, but he will also be promoted to the rank. There is absolutely no harm in establishing a good relationship with her earlier: "I will arrange everything."

...

Sokov, who was resting in the office, was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

He sat up from the bed where he was sleeping, rubbed his face, and was about to get up to open the door, Gerchkov, who was sleeping not far away, had already stood up first and walked over to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was Lieutenant Arina. After she saw clearly that the person who opened the door for her was Gerchkov, she immediately asked: "Comrade Major, is Major Sokov here?"

"Lieutenant Alina, I'm here." When Sokov got up, he looked out the window. Seeing that it was not dawn outside, he walked to Alina and asked curiously: "You are here to find us at this time. Is there anything important?"

"Yes, Comrade Major, I do have important things and need to report to you immediately." Alina said with an excited face: "Babushkin confessed."

"Oh, Babushkin confessed?" When he learned that Babushkin had let go, both Sokov and Gerchkov showed joyful expressions on their faces, which meant that they could grasp the movements of the German agents in more detail. However, Sokov was still very curious. How could Babushkin, who was strong and unyielding a few hours ago, confess so honestly? Is there any inside story? He asked tentatively: "Didn't he grit his teeth and refuse to admit that he had collusion with the German agents?"

"Yes, he is indeed stubborn." Arina said proudly: "But when we put the searched radio station and the password book in front of him, and told him that everyone in the armory had been locked in Lubiyanka's prison, he immediately became honest. Before we could ask again, we would say what we wanted to know."

"That's great, that's great." Gerchkov urged Arina: "Comrade Lieutenant, please hurry up and say what he said."

"Here, this is his confession, you can watch it slowly." As he said that, Arina stuffed Babushkin's confession into Sokov's hands.

Sokov hurried to his desk, turned on the lamp and sat down, and read Major Babushkin's confession.

The confession tells in detail how he planned to cooperate with German agents to carry out assassination while Stalin went to the cemetery of the Unknown Martyrs tomorrow at noon. What shocked Sokov the most was that Babushkin also planned to provide mortars to German agents, which could carry out artillery shooting in the area where the Unknown Martyrs’ cemetery was located in the distance.

When Sokov saw this, he was shocked and sweated. If the gunfight between the two sides had a gunfight near the cemetery of the unknown martyrs, the guards in the Kremlin could still eliminate the German agents who infiltrated the Kremlin by relying on their number and equipment. But if the German agents had mortars, then no matter how many people the Kremlin guards were, they would be just a living target in front of the German agents.

After reading the confession, Sokov handed it to Gerchkov, who was standing beside him and stretched his neck to read the confession together, and said, "This damn Major Babushkin is simply crazy. He actually wanted to wait until the German agents were put in, so that they could cover the location of the nameless martyrs' cemetery from afar. In this way, no matter how many people we deployed nearby, they were just living targets and were not sure to catch the infiltrating German agents."

After reading the confession, Gerchkov said to Sokov: "Major Sokov, we have not controlled the armory in the Kremlin. After putting the enemy in, we can completely avoid providing them with mortars, so that they cannot carry out artillery fire strikes on the cemetery of the nameless martyrs at a distance."

"I'm afraid this won't work." Before Sokov could speak, Arina said first: "Major Babushkin asked Nayi to give him two days ago to the information sent by him. If the German agents entered the Kremlin tomorrow and found that there were no mortars in the weapons we provided to them, it would definitely arouse their suspicion."

Hearing Arina say this, Gerchkov seemed very panicked, not like a senior detective at all, but like an intern detective who had just entered the police station. He asked nervously: "Major Sokov, what should we do?"

"Editor Arina, do you have a list of weapons?"

"Sure." Arina nodded, took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Sokov: "This is the list of weapons Major Babushkin intends to provide to the Germans."

After reading the list, Sokov sneered and said, "Major Babushkin is quite generous. He plans to provide German agents with two mortars, two turntable machine guns and fifteen submachine guns. It's such a big deal."

After hearing this, Gerchkov couldn't help but breathe: "Major Sokov, if German agents really get such a weapon, even if they are at a disadvantage in numbers, they can still be at an advantage in equipment. If the guards in the Kremlin want to destroy them, they will definitely make considerable sacrifices."

"Don't worry, comrade Major, please stay calm." Sokov's expression comforted Gerchkov.

"Can't calm down." Gerchkov said anxiously: "If such equipment is fought, it may not be very effective. But if it is used in the Kremlin to carry out sabotage operations, it will cause huge losses."

"Major, calm down." Seeing Gerchkov's emotions so excited, Sokov could only explain to him: "We can provide the weapons that Babushkin promised them, but whether the weapons they have obtained can be used is another matter."

Hearing Sokov say this, Alina's face showed a surprise expression: "Major Sokov, have you thought of any good idea?"

Gerchkov asked with confusion, "Comrade Major, have you thought of any solution? Can you tell me?"

Sokov nodded and then said to the two: "We can destroy these weapons, such as removing both guns and mortar striker. In this way, even if the Germans get these weapons, they will not be able to use them."
