Chapter 263

The atmosphere in the conference room became much more harmonious because of the common reason and language.

Krochkov introduced to me the two staff members sitting next to him: "on the left is Comrade Xie Jin, and on the right is Comrade grev. They are all members of the counter revolutionaries Committee."

I can't help shivering at the term "anti counter revolutionaries committee". We should know that this department can control the life and death of countless people. They can decide a person's life and death with a single word. However, it is necessary to have a good relationship with them, so when I saw them standing up and holding out their hands to me, I quickly got up and shook hands with them one by one across the conference table.

Then krochkov said, "Comrade oshanina, I'm here to tell you the truth. This case was personally explained by Comrade belia. He said that Comrade ellenburg published a group of photos of your organization killing prisoners in the Pravda. After this news was reprinted by the newspapers of individual bourgeois countries, it caused an uproar. You are also known as the "butcher" by the bourgeoisie for your wanton massacre of German prisoners Speaking of this, he looked around at the members of the anti revolutionaries, with a friendly and meaningful smile on his face. "When Comrade Stalin heard the news, he was furious and asked Comrade belia to seriously deal with the matter, and asked him to immediately send someone to arrest you and hand over to the military court, to give an account to the relevant parties."

After hearing his introduction, I asked with a wry smile, "Comrade krochkov, I don't know what to do with me?"

Krochkov did not speak. He looked at scherking on the right. "Originally, according to Comrade belia's instructions, we made a decision to send you to a labor camp or exile to Siberia after you were dismissed from all your posts and discharged from the army," said Xie Jin, who had a brain gate and some balding After a pause, he observed my expression and saw that I was looking at him without expression. Then he said, "but after we have just learned the truth, we are going to make suggestions to Comrade belia. Continue to retain your military position and allow you to return to the army. "

Seeing the trend of things becoming bigger and smaller, I said to him gratefully: "thank you!"

Krochkov stood up and said, "let's stop here today and report to Comrade Beria. Comrade o'shanina, I'll arrange a place for you to have a good rest and let you know the result tomorrow. " Then he yelled out to the outside, "major zuyev."

On hearing this, major zuyev came in, saluted him and asked, "Hello! Comrade krochkov, what can I do for you? "

Krochkov pointed to me and said, "Comrade major, go and help Comrade o'shanina arrange a place to live. Remember, she is not a prisoner in the interior department, but a guest, so we should arrange a comfortable place for her to have a good rest. "

Zuyev agreed, walked up to me, made a gesture of please, and said in a soft voice, "please, comrade oshanina, I'll go and arrange a residence for you."

Before I left with zuyev, I looked back at krochkov. He looked at me smilingly, waved his hand and said, "Comrade oshanina, go and have a rest. I will report the results of the discussion to Comrade belia as soon as possible."

As krochkov had already spoken, zuyev naturally would not take me to any cell for the night, but directly led me to a duty room with beds and bathrooms to rest.

As soon as the major left, I locked the door and didn't go to the bathroom to wash, so I fell directly on the bed in the duty room, and my sleepiness immediately flooded me! In a daze, I counted for half a day, but in any case, I can't remember that in the more than one month since the beginning of the great counter offensive, I haven't had a solid sleep for more than ten or twenty days!

The next day in my sleep, I heard someone knocking on the door and calling my name out loud. I got up from the bed in a daze, went to the door and asked feebly, "who is that?"

"Comrade oshanina, this is major zuyev." The voice outside the door made me wake up. It occurred to me that I was not in my barracks, but in the building of the Ministry of interior, waiting for the final verdict. So he immediately opened the door, gave a polite smile to the major outside and said, "good morning, comrade major!"

Zuyev looked me up and down, but without politeness, he said to me directly, "Comrade oshanina, you should hurry to wash up, and then go to the conference room, where important people are waiting for you." After that, he turned and left.

When I heard that an important person was waiting for me in the meeting room, I didn't dare to neglect him. I rushed into the bathroom immediately and ran to the meeting room after a simple wash.

When I opened the door of the conference room, I saw a soldier sitting in the middle of the conference table with a golden knife. I fixed my eyes on Zhukov. Surprised, I trotted a few steps, stood at attention opposite him, saluted and said, "Hello, general! Major general oshanina, chief of staff of the 20th group army and commander of the eighth division of the Jinwei, will report to you and wait for your order. "

Zhukov just raised his hand and touched his forehead as a gift. He asked coldly, "I want to hear what you have to say?"

I understand what Zhukov means. He wants me to review it, and then let him go out and beg for help. Maybe it will be over. But after thinking about it, I didn't think it was a serious crime to kill the prisoners, so I replied, "no!"“ No! " He slapped the table and stood up. He sank his face and said sternly, "you have made such a big mistake and caused such a big trouble. You can't say anything!" I bowed my head and answered in a low voice, "I don't think I've done anything wrong with this." My words angered Zhukov. He pointed to my nose and yelled: "you, a senior officer of the Red Army, can even kill prisoners in full view of the public. What a shame you have done! You think that if you pull the trigger in your hand, you'll be happy with your love and hatred. But have you ever thought that for a few German guys who are inferior to animals, you'll have your future and even your life. Do you think it's worth it!... " Zhukov was so angry that he scared me so much that he stood upright like a wooden man. Just then, someone pushed the door and came in. I turned around and saw that it was some of them. As soon as he entered the door, Zhukov, who was in a rage, immediately fell silent and looked coldly at the men who had just entered. Krochkov didn't expect to meet Zhukov here. He was stunned. However, he immediately regained his normal look and took the initiative to say hello to Zhukov: "Hello, Comrade General! I didn't expect to see you here. I wonder if you have any instructions for our interior department when you come here today? " Zhukov snorted angrily and said, "I'll see what you do with oshanina." Krochkov seemed a little afraid of Zhukov. Hearing what he said, he quickly explained: "Comrade General, there may be some misunderstanding. We asked Comrade oshanina to come back after receiving Comrade Beria's order. Please understand us. " Zhukov glanced at me. I quickly stood up straight, chin slightly upturned, face like water in front of me. Zhukov snorted again, turned to krochkov and said, "Comrade krochkov, you represent the Ministry of interior. Please announce your opinions on how to deal with Comrade oshanina.", Although I had been psychologically prepared, my heart was still beating wildly in the face of the final "sentencing". Krochkov came up to me, gave me a blank look, opened the folder, picked up a piece of paper and read: "now announce the decision of the people's Committee of internal affairs on oshanina, chief of staff of the 20th group army and commander of the 8th division of the Western Front Army: Rita mushdakova oshanina, 22 years old, major general, member of the regiment..." After hearing what krochkov had read, I realized that Rita was so young, and I had ignored her age for such a long time“ On January 15, 1942, after leading the army to seize the village of petrichevo, they wantonly slaughtered 84 German soldiers who had laid down their arms and surrendered. At this time, after the reporter Comrade ellenburg exposed it in the red star, the news was reprinted by many bourgeois newspapers, causing extremely serious consequences. Because of the serious consequences caused by Comrade oshanina's actions, we should have dealt with them seriously. However, in view of the fact that Comrade oshanina has made many war achievements since the beginning of the great counter offensive, and that these German soldiers who were shot and killed have also committed unforgivable crimes against our people, it was decided through the study of the people's Committee of internal affairs, After reporting to Comrade belia, she made the following punishment decision: she was expelled from the army and relieved of all her existing posts, and was transferred to Qiuming city in Siberia for another appointment. Over Krochkov slowly folded up the folder, looked up and asked, "Comrade oshanina, do you have any opinions on the decision of the organization?"“ Obeying the decision of the organization, I will learn a lesson and make a change! "“ Good, good! " A trace of a smile climbed onto krochkov's face. He took two steps forward, patted me on the shoulder and said, "this is the best way. After the autumn festival, don't have the burden of thinking, and seriously do the work assigned to you by the organization. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. As long as you correct them, you are still good comrades! I hope you can learn from this experience and make new contributions to your new position“ Comrade krochkov, "Zhukov asked coldly," I'd like to ask you what kind of work you've arranged for Comrade oshanina to go to Qiuming? " Krochkov put the folder under his armpit, took a few steps towards Zhukov, and then said in a low voice, "senior general, you should know that the body of comrade Lenin has been transferred to Qiuming city. What Comrade Beria means is that he intends to send Comrade oshanina to guard the mausoleum for comrade Lenin at Qiuming. "
