Office of the NKVD

Iron Chancellor · June 9, 2003, 08:58

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 · June 9, 2003, 10:15

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

Colwyn · June 9, 2003, 22:34

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 · June 9, 2003, 22:43

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 · June 9, 2003, 23:34

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 · June 9, 2003, 23:38

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 · June 9, 2003, 23:43

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

Iron Chancellor · June 9, 2003, 23:44

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

Xenozod · June 10, 2003, 00:23

Be sure to download the recently uploaded save.

Iron Chancellor · June 10, 2003, 10:24

Have done so

conmcb25 · June 10, 2003, 14:14

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 · June 10, 2003, 16:56

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 · June 10, 2003, 17:35

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!

They have been slacking off too long.

Xenozod · June 10, 2003, 18:49

I shall post my findings later in the turn.

PinkyGen · June 10, 2003, 22:20

If the NKVD is examing civil disturbances and happiness issues, the Economics Ministry has a request. I noticed that some cities seem to have excess entertainers. While this may please our workers, it is wasteful if it is not needed to keep the city in order. When you present recommendations on how to keep cities in order, could you take note of wasted entertainers in your account and recommend where to switch them to taxmen?

Xenozod · June 10, 2003, 23:30

Yes, I'll make sure to look for wasted entertainers.

Iron Chancellor · June 11, 2003, 00:07

Thank you, X, for dealing with these questions. I am preparing a summary below. In order to preserve maximum efficiency, however, I suggest that the NKVD not formalize a report until after the moving of the 2nd Ukrainian front (the last military force).

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 03:42

Comrade K: hold off from posting until I talk to you, please

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 04:37

Moved a lot of workers around in VoroNZeh.(What the heck?!)
Tiblisi-moved worker from forest to broxite
Zlatoust-moved worker to broxite
Vitebsk-placed entertainer
Smolensk-placed two entertainers
Gomel-placed two entertainers
Minsk-placed entertainer
Bialystok-placed entertainer
Orel-moved two workers from forests
Arzamas-moved a worker
Murmansk-placed entertainer
Shakakov-moved worker
Moscow-brought in temp garrison, created extra tax man
Gorky-brought in temp garrisons, placed resulting entertainer.

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 04:39

All complaints should be sent to the Comrade Marshal.

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 05:22

Voronezh Crisis

Before

After

Let this never happen again, comrades. If this occurs once more, somebody is going to get a first-hand encounter with the Gulag...

Efficiency: it's our motto.

What do they generate?? population wasn't complaining before

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 05:45

The entertainers were not needed, so they were switched to working. Gives us more resources and such.

Bossy20000 · June 12, 2003, 05:56

You should take a look at Kandalashka, there could be more production in the city.
Also, east of Stalingrad there are two labour brigades building industry on a square not within range of any city.

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 05:57

I don't think I can move them.

This was my fault, the labor brigades, good catch Bossy!

I have already talked to Comrade Grenski about it. The units have been cleared of orders this turn and will be moved and reassigned next turn.

Bossy20000 · June 12, 2003, 11:54

Lucky for us I have spies everywhere

I also would like to know why we haven't built a road between Tula and Orel yet. I don't know where to put this question (I already drew attention to it many times), so I put it here. For the sake of efficiency, please build that road.

greeny · June 12, 2003, 14:35

In future the Armaments minister demands to be consulted on changes made to cities under my control by the NKVD.

Xenozod · June 12, 2003, 22:11

If that is the official ruling, then we shall.
