Red Moscow

  Chapter 2165 Both sides are acting

  Seeing Daniel and others walking towards the place where Dobzhanski fell to the ground, Henrik, who was frightened out of his wits, managed to get up from the ground and stumbled towards that position. When he saw clearly that Dobzhanski, who was lying on the ground, had a huge hole blown out of his abdomen, all the internal organs inside flowed out, staining the surrounding snow red. Henrik had never seen such a tragic situation before, and he squatted aside in fright and vomited.

"Okay, if you see this kind of scene a lot in the future, you won't be afraid anymore." Daniel walked up to Henrik and said to him, "Your brother-in-law still has breath, what do you want to say to him?" ?"

   How dare Henryk go to see Dobzhanski, he waved his hands desperately, and said repeatedly: "No, no, I don't see him."

Seeing that Henryk was unwilling to talk to the dying Dobzhanski, Daniel did not force it. He came to Dobzhanski and knelt down beside him, saying coldly: "Dobzhanski, you and I There is no grudge in the past, no grudge in recent days, the reason why I set this trap for you today is mainly because you blocked our way of making money, so I had to get rid of you."

  After Dobzhanski was wounded, he saw several soldiers dressed as the Soviet army approaching, struggling to call for help. But he heard what Daniel and Henrik said just now. No matter how stupid he was, he should understand at this moment that he was being tricked by his brother-in-law. He tried his best to turn his head, looked at where Henrik was, and tried to curse a few words, but the blood coming out of his mouth made him unable to say anything. In this way, he left this world with regret and anger.

"He's dead." Daniel confirmed that Dobzhanski had died, walked to Henrik's side, and said to him: "According to our original plan, you first send a telegram to the Germans and ask them to send someone Send us the money we want; and when we get it, you can go back to the village and tell the old man that his son accidentally stepped on a German mine in the forest and was killed."

  Henrik's legs were weak, and he couldn't walk steadily. He fell several times in just a few tens of meters. Daniel couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Fermi and Leimo to carry him to the radio station.

  Everyone helped Henrik set up the antenna and asked him to send a report to the Germans. But Henrik's hands kept shaking due to fear, and he couldn't send the report normally at all.

  Daniel immediately became angry when he saw this. He pointed the gun to the back of Henrik's head and said, "Hurry up and send the report. If your hands continue to tremble, I will shoot you to accompany your brother-in-law."

  Daniel's intimidation successfully threatened Henrik. After he slapped his right hand vigorously with his left hand a few times, his trembling finally eased, and he quickly sent a report to the Germans that he needed a huge sum of money to purchase the overall defense map of the 48th Army.

   Within a quarter of an hour, the German's call back arrived.

  The content of the telegram is very simple, saying that it is impossible to raise 10,000 pounds in a short period of time, and you can send someone to send 2,000 pounds as a deposit. The rest of the money will be paid again after receiving the information.

  Seeing that the Germans took the bait, Daniel said to Henrik: "Now you can report back to the village. As for the deposit sent by the Germans, I will go to your house to collect it after dark."

   After returning to the headquarters with Fermi and Remo, Daniel reported everything that happened in the forest to Sokov in detail. Finally asked: "Comrade Commander, the Germans will send someone to send two thousand pounds to Henrik, do you think we need to collect this money?"

"Accept, of course!" Sokov said: "As long as the Germans are willing to give it, then we will accept it. This kind of money will not be accepted for nothing, and will not be given to him. Comrade Chief of Staff." Behind him One word is calling Sidolin.

   "Comrade Commander," Sidolin naturally knew what Sukov asked him to do, and hurried over and said, "The deployment map is ready."

   "Give it to Second Lieutenant Daniel." Sokov signaled Sidolin to hand over the deployment map to Daniel, and then told the other party: "This is the last scene, I hope you don't show your flaws, otherwise our previous efforts will be wasted."

   "Comrade Commander, please rest assured." Daniel assured Sokov, "I will never let you down."

  Sokov nodded, and said to Daniel: "You must be exhausted for this matter these days. Go to rest now, and go to the house of the village chief Jermon after dark."

Following Sokov's order, Daniel and the others found a room to lie down and sleep. Henrik brought Odzhanski and his wife to the location where Dobzhanski's body was, and said to them : "I came here with my brother-in-law early this morning to pick up the radio, but unfortunately he stepped on a landmine planted by the Germans and was killed on the spot."

  Seeing the body of their son, the Odzanskis and his wife passed out on the spot. Fortunately, several villagers who accompanied them stepped forward, pinched them again, and wiped their faces with snow, finally resuscitating the couple. '

  The old lady threw herself on her son and cried loudly, while Odzanski stood aside in a daze. He was extremely annoyed at the moment. He really didn't expect that his family would end up like this when they devoted themselves to helping the Germans.

   Several villagers hurriedly lifted Dobzhanski's body onto the sled and pulled it back to the village. When they were putting the body into the coffin, other villagers heard the news and came to ask what happened. When they learned that Dobzhanski was killed by a German mine, they couldn't help scolding the Germans.

  Jermon and his wife stood by the window, watching what happened in the distance. Jamon's wife asked tentatively, "If the villagers know that Dobzharski's death is related to us, will they come to settle accounts with us?"

"Don't worry, it won't." Jemon said carelessly, "Our son has already told these villagers that Dobzharski was killed by accidentally stepping on a German mine in the forest. Knowing that Dobzhansky is his brother-in-law, the villagers will not doubt what he said, and they will put the account on the Germans."

  Henrik waited for Dobzharski's body to be put into the coffin and helped build the mourning hall before rushing back to his home.

  As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled aside by Jamon: "Have you talked with the Russians this morning?"

  "Yes." Henrik nodded, and replied: "The Germans said to send two thousand pounds first, and when the Russians send the information at night, I will give them the two thousand pounds."

"Have you ever considered that the Russians are so ruthless and merciless, if one day they find that we are useless, will they also kill us?" Jemon reminded his son: "We must take precautions early, otherwise If you really wait until something happens, it will be too late."

  Henrik still agreed with what his father said in his heart. He felt that if one day he lost his use value, he might follow in Dobzharski's footsteps and become a cold corpse in the wilderness.

  Thinking of this, he asked his father: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"I think you'd better let the Germans send all 10,000 pounds here." Jermon advised his son: "When the Russians come to send information at night, you will take out 2,000 pounds and hand them over, saying that they will wait for you." After sending the information to the Germans, send them the rest of the money."

   "Can they agree?"

"I will definitely agree." Jemon can become the village head, and his knowledge in some aspects is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people. He said to Henrik: "They think that as long as we are in the village, we are theirs. Hostage, so you don’t dare to renege on your debt.”

  Hearing Jamon uttered the word reckless, Henrik vaguely felt that his father had some big plans, so he asked tentatively, "Are you going to swallow the remaining 8,000 pounds?"

"That's right, that's what I mean." Germon nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, the defeat of the Germans will happen sooner or later. After the Germans leave, it may not be the Russians who control this country. , it may be the British. Let’s keep more money in our hands, and when the British come, we can live a good life.”

  Henrik understood what his father said. He wanted to swallow the 8,000 pounds that should have been given to Second Lieutenant Daniel. Although he also wanted to do this in his heart, what he was worried about now was that if he really took the money, he might take it with his life or spend it with his life.

  Jermon saw his son's doubts, and explained to him: "It is not difficult to swallow this money. I have been thinking about this for a few days, and finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds."

   "What's the best of both worlds?" Henrik asked.

"We sent an anonymous letter to the Russian headquarters, saying that Second Lieutenant Daniel betrayed the information to the Germans." Jemon said proudly: "As long as the Russians start investigating Second Lieutenant Daniel, he will have no way to come to us to get money gone."

   "But what if Second Lieutenant Daniel confessed us in order to protect himself?" Henrik said: "You know, we are now living in the Russian defense zone. It is too easy for them to catch us."

"You can rest assured about this." Germon said: "Let's pack up our things first. After Lieutenant Daniel sends the information, we will leave here as soon as we give the two thousand pounds. But before leaving, you have to give the Russians Commander sent a letter."

   "Send a letter?!" Henrik said in embarrassment: "How to send it? Do you want me to go directly to the Russian headquarters and say that I want to report someone to them?"

"Of course it's not the way to send letters like this." Germon said: "We tie the anonymous letter to a stone, and then you approach the Russian headquarters and throw the stone in, so that the Russians can receive our anonymous letter. "

   Hearing this, Henryk felt that what his father said was more reliable, so he nodded and agreed to the other party's proposal. However, he said worriedly: "But the Germans said that because the amount we need is too large, they can hardly raise so many pounds for a while, so they can only send over two thousand pounds, and the remaining eight thousand pounds will be delivered at some time. .If we leave the village, maybe we won’t get the money.”

"Why are you so stupid." Germon said angrily, "The remaining 8,000 pounds will be taken from the Germans after our family arrives at the German defense zone. This will save us from bringing a lot of money with us." If you enter the German defense zone, you will be in trouble if you are detained."

Seeing that his father had considered all the issues that should be considered, Henrik nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you said. Let's start packing things now. After the Russians send the information, we will Let’s take two steps. I’ll go to the Russian headquarters to send an anonymous letter, and you take your things out of the village and go north, enter the forest and wait for me, and I will rush there to meet you as soon as possible.”

"There won't be any landmines laid by the Germans in the forest, right?" Thinking of Dobzharski who was killed by the bombing, Jamon was still a little apprehensive, and he asked tentatively, "If we were killed by landmines in the forest, what It must be too unfair."

"You can rest assured about this." Henrik said to Germon: "When we crossed the defense line and returned to the village, the Germans once told us that there were no mines in this area at all, so we could pass with confidence. It is precisely because With this sentence, Dobzhansky relaxed his vigilance, otherwise the landmines planted by the Russians would not kill him so easily."

Seeing that Henrik was very confident in this matter, Jemon felt more at ease, "Then I will start writing anonymous letters now, and after Second Lieutenant Daniel comes, you can deliver the letters. They come to my house every day to eat my food and take my food. Yes, I want to let them know that the things in my house are not so delicious and easy to get, and I want them to pay for it.”

  After dark, Daniel brought Fermi and Remo to Jamon's house again.

  After entering the door, Henrik greeted him and asked urgently, "Mr. Second Lieutenant, have you brought the information?"

  Daniel did not answer his words immediately, but asked instead: "Where is the money I want?"

  Henrik quickly picked up a small suitcase from the ground, and said to Daniel: "The two thousand pounds are here, you can order some."

  Daniel took the small suitcase, put it on the table and opened it, only to see that it was full of banknotes. Because the pound is larger than other currencies, the visual impact of putting it in a box is much stronger. Daniel stared straight at the pound in front of him, and said hesitantly, "How much is two thousand pounds?"

"Mr. Second Lieutenant." Seeing that Daniel looked like he had never seen money, Henrik felt very disdainful towards him, but the most urgent task now is to get the defense map that Daniel brought, so he could only suppress the pain in his heart. Disgusted, he asked with a smile, "Where is the deployment map you mentioned?"

  Daniel didn't look away from the pound, but casually ordered Fermi standing behind him: "Sergeant Fermi, give him our information."

  Fermi agreed, took off the rucksack he was carrying, took out a map bag, and then took out the blueprint from it, handed it to Henrik, and said: "This is the deployment map of the entire 48th Army."

  Henrik took the deployment map and took a look at the deployment position of the 334th Regiment. He found that it was the same as the drawing he received last time, so he wishfully believed that the deployment map was true. He stuffed the blueprint into the picture bag, and said with a smile: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, I believe that the Germans will be very satisfied when they see this defense map."

   "Whether the Germans will be satisfied, I'm not interested." Daniel asked pretending to be greedy for money: "I just want to know, when will the remaining 8,000 pounds be given to me?"
