Office of the NKVD

[Iron Chancellor]

This shall be henceforth the headquarters of the NKVD, our National Security Force. Any issues with regards to civil unhappiness, the need for security forces, and requests for increases in the luxury budget should go here. With regards to the last issue, the NKVD cannot directly change it, however, should it be of sufficient merit your request shall be forwarded to the Ministry for Economic Progress.

My affiliate is Comrade Xenozod, whose Russian name shall shortly be found and inserted.

-Kommisar Ivan Kanzlereisky, First Bureau Head For State Security

THIS THREAD IS NOT TO BE USED FOR UNFOUNDED AND COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE ACCUSATIONS.

[Bossy20000]

Your affiliate has a russian name, but it is rather ... long: Xenozodskyovitchkov, but we can also say Xenozodsky.

Comrade, I wish to report

that over the last year, many party officials, comrades and citizens have been less than confident in our ability to defeat the hun.

Always I was told don't try to defend this city or that or don't try to attack because the germans are too strong.

I usually ignored such "coward mongering" and attacked anyway hah the germans are only tough when attacking pigs,dogs and cowards.

You should go though your comisar's logs(threads) and compile the number of posts that people were being less than loyal.

I have also seen some NKVD troops withdraw (yes) have a look at how many are not near the front lines encouraging our units forward and shooting those that flee.

[Iron Chancellor]

Well, Comrade, I admire your spirit and enthusiastic devotion to the cause. However, if you examine our over-arching campaign, the entire strategy has ALWAYS been to draw in the fascist thugs, deeper and deeper, and then crush them, snatching the image victory dangling before their eyes.

"Retreat" would be cowardly if it were the result of panicky conscripts, however our glorious patriots have taken advantage of our economic and geological position to crush the enemy.

Thus, we see that while history is determined by economics, we Marxist-Leninist builders of Socialism in One Country are able to manipulate the beliefs of others, so that the economic pendulum swings around and wallops them upside the head.

Those NKVD regiments not located at the front are investigating possible infiltration of capitalism-mystified proletarians. Any found will be re-educated and returned to society.

I hope you have learned from this lecture.

[Xenozod]

I blame my parents...

Comrade Kanzlereisky, do you wish to take a look at the turn this time, or shall I? Or we could both look it over.

[Iron Chancellor]

Comrade X (If I may call you so, you may refer to me as K),

I do not care strongly to, I think I shall look it over. Feel free to do likewise so that we may confer and determine an appropriate course of action.

[Xenozod]

I will try to view it sometime either today or tomorrow.(Comrade X/K is fine with me.)

[Iron Chancellor]

Thank you. I am viewing tonight and will make notes.

[Xenozod]

Be sure to download the recently uploaded save.

[Iron Chancellor]

Have done so

I see our NKVD's Ministers are talking about looking at the file but I have seen no recommendation for Garrisoning of our major cities to improve happiness and thereby improve production/ trade generation.

Please do this for the July turn.

Also do NKVD's really help happiness more than a regular unit? In game terms of course! I know they do in real life! I would like you two to research this and let me know. Thanks!

[Xenozod]

I was waiting until Comrade K was finished before posting any findings...do not worry, I have noted any cities in need of extra garrisoning for happiness.

I will look into your question.

[greeny]

Now that we have permenantly recaptured Minsk and "Soviet Pragmatism" I seems to me that a lot of smaller citys in the rear areas now have superfluous garrisons that could be sent to the front lines without deminishing happiness. The NKVD sould investigate this too!

[Colwyn]

Yes put them in penal battalions

They have been slacking off too long.

[Xenozod]

I shall post my findings later in the turn.
