Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 379: bad news

There are more than 10,000 people and boundless. This is not for fun, but when tens of thousands of German prisoners of war walked past the square, even if these guys were in ragged clothes and embarrassed, the scene was enough to make People feel shocked.

For the citizens who had experienced the Battle of Moscow, their hatred of these Germans was indescribable, but when these prisoners of war walked through the square, they could really shout and scream on the side of the road. It is always only a minority, and more is still silence, indescribable silence.

Of course, there are also some courageous young people who will chant some slogans in the crowd, such as "Fascism get out of the Soviet Union", "Hitler is about to die", and those marching German prisoners of war are not all of them. Those who can remain silent, some of these guys will retort, but most of their voices appear weak. After all, in such a hot weather, crossing most of the city of Moscow, even people with good physique insist. No longer, let alone these prisoners of war who have not had enough food for a long time.

The queue of German prisoners of war took nearly ten minutes to pass through the Red Square one after another, and behind the line were a dozen sprinklers washing the streets until the line of sprinklers passed the Red Square, and the crowd was watching. There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

When the queue of German prisoners of war passed the Red Square, the crowds on both sides of the Red Square were full of camera shots. Reporters from dozens of countries around the world became excited at this moment.

In the anti-fascist wars of the past few years, although the Allied powers have won many victories, and the German forces that have been annihilated are not a few, it is like this time that tens of thousands of German prisoners have really been placed in front of the world. It was really an unprecedented first time. Therefore, it inspired not only the confidence of the Soviets, but also the confidence of the anti-fascist camp all over the world. Anyone who saw this scene would not doubt it. The leading fascist camp has come to an end.

Inside the Kremlin, on the square in front of the armory, Victor was walking leisurely along the flowerbeds on the edge of the square with a cigarette in his mouth. Comrade Stalin was slowly walking with a group of people on the road that was only thirty or forty meters away from him. After coming over, their target was not the armory, but the office building of Comrade Stalin.

At this time, the final clean-up is being done on the Red Square outside the Kremlin. The German prisoners of war have gone away, and the people watching the ceremony are gradually dispersing. It is estimated that many people have rushed to line up to buy wine. Maybe They have to celebrate tonight.

Victor couldn't leave at this time. He knew that after Comrade Stalin had sent away those foreign friends, he would definitely be summoned.

Seeing those people walking down the Xiaobailou accompanied by Comrade Stalin, Victor walked over without any haste until they disappeared in front of the building. He also entered the Xiaobailou, but did not go to the second floor. I went directly to Comrade Poskrebeshev's office.

Now, he and Comrade Boskrebeshev are very familiar. Sometimes when he comes to wait for Comrade Stalin to be summoned, he will sit in the office of the big secret comrade for a while, even if the big secret comrade is not there, he will You won’t be polite.

In fact, after a long time of contact, in Victor’s feelings, Comrade Boskrebeshev’s temperament is still very good. He is a cold-hearted person. He is not good at expressing his feelings, so he will give others a good impression. This kind of impression is not easy to make friends, but in fact, as long as you have a few more contacts, this impression will be completely changed.

Of course, Victor will always have such an illusion, or that as long as it is an individual, there will be such an illusion. He always likes to define a person with his own impression, but does not know that the same person is facing different people. At that time, the faces that appeared might not be exactly the same.

After waiting for more than ten minutes in Poskrebeshev’s office, Victor vaguely heard a noise coming in from outside, and realized that it might be the foreign envoys who had left. He was about to stand up. The door of his room was pushed open from the outside, and a smiling Poskrebeshev walked in from the outside.

"I saw you in the armory before, I knew you would be here," Poskrebeshev took off the military cap from his head and hung it directly on the hat rack at the door, speaking from his mouth. "First prepare, Comrade Stalin wants to see you later."

While speaking, he walked to Victor's side, conjured a cigar and handed it over, with a smile: "Try this, American."

Victor waved his hand, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one into his mouth, and said, "I tried it before, but I'm not used to it. This is better for me."

Boskrebeshev shrugged, but did not continue to stuff him, but moved a chair over, sat down not far from him, and said, "Your proposal this time is perfect, Cuiti Chunxiao, hey, Comrade Stalin is very happy. Not only Comrade Stalin, but also several comrades in the Politburo appreciate this proposal, especially Comrade Andrei Alexandrovich, who thinks you are a genius for propaganda and agitation. , Maybe in the publicity and agitation department, you will have more room for development."

Andrei Alexandrovich naturally refers to Zhdanov. For his admiration, to be honest, Victor is not at all happy, he just feels a little shuddering.

The propaganda and agitation department is definitely Comrade Zhidanov’s basic board, just like the People’s Committee of Foreign Affairs did with Comrade Molotov, if his small role is transferred to the propaganda and agitation department, it is estimated that he will be Comrade Nov made a big deal of it.

However, in the depths of his mind, Victor still couldn't help thinking for a while, if he was really transferred to the propaganda and agitation department, what advantages would he have and in which areas he could achieve certain results.

"So, Comrade Stalin is in a good mood?" Victor asked with a smile after listening to Poskrebeshev's words.

"Yes," Poskrebeshev didn't realize anything at first, and he smiled subconsciously. "He has been in a good mood for the past two days, especially..."

Having said that, he finally thought of something, he stopped after half a word, frowned and looked at Victor aside.

"Yes, you didn't guess wrong," Victor said with a wry smile when he met the other's gaze. "Our foreign intelligence department has got some latest information. I am afraid that the content will not be very pleasant."

"What kind of information?" Boskrebeshev asked tentatively, "Of course, if you need to keep secrets..."

"It's not that secret," Victor silently took out a letter from his pants pocket and handed it to the comrade Secretary opposite, saying, "It's news from Warsaw, where some people are doing little tricks."

Poskrebeshev did not speak, he reached out his hand to take the letterhead, and looked around.

This information came from Warsaw and was provided by the Warsaw Intelligence Station of the Foreign Intelligence Service. Among them, it involved a secret order issued by the so-called Polish commander-in-chief of the Polish government in exile. According to the requirements of this secret order, people lurking in Warsaw and nearby areas The Polish National Army will launch an uprising in the next two weeks.

At present, the situation in the direction of Belarus is very obvious. After the loss of Minsk, the German central army group has existed in name only. The German army can no longer organize any form of resistance in the area between the Bug River and Minsk.

According to the military intelligence provided by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, the remaining German troops in western Belarus are retreating west of the Kovets River. If nothing else, they are probably preparing to reorganize their defenses on the Vistula River to resist the Soviet Union. The army continues to advance to the hinterland of Poland.

However, the German intention to build a new line of defense is consistent with the Soviet Army’s campaign objectives, because so far, the limit that the Soviet Army’s logistical supplies can reach is the Vistula line. If you continue to the west, the Soviet Army The logistics supply can not keep up. Therefore, even if the German army retreats steadily, the Soviet offensive line will stay on the Vistula line and will not continue westward during the summer offensive.

But the Poles obviously did not think so. They believed that since the Soviet army had wiped out most of the German Central Army Group, then the Soviet army will inevitably advance in the eastern part of Poland, sweeping away the remnants of the German army like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. .

Therefore, the Polish government-in-exile, which has been regarded as a "trouble-making machine" by the British and American allies, intends to take this opportunity to initiate a large-scale uprising in China to liberate Warsaw before the Soviets, thereby gaining a political advantage. In this way, on the one hand, the Soviet army's influence in Poland can be reduced. On the other hand, the fact that the National Army liberated Warsaw can also be used to negotiate with the Soviets, thus adding a bargaining chip to Poland's restoration.

Well, this is purely an act of robbery, or stealing, or an act of pretending to be pretentious. In short, the Polish government-in-exile calculations are very shameful. For this reason, according to the information provided by the London Intelligence Station, Polish Prime Minister Mikovajček, who planned this incident, had a very unhappy relationship with British Prime Minister Churchill, because the British did not support them in doing so.

Although the Poles have always believed that their country is a big country, not only should be the king and hegemony in Eastern Europe, but also should have the strength to point out some issues in the Far East, but in fact, it is only a sad small country, and it is a four-pointed country. Small countries in the battlefield, their so-called national interests, are often sacrificed or exchanged by big countries.
