Chapter 1066

I leaned over to the wassili slope and saw a T-72 parked there, with thick smoke coming from the rear. It seemed that the engine had broken down. The hand of the tank opened the top hatch, jumped onto the car body, took the fire extinguisher from the soldiers who came from nearby, and nervously put out the fire.

"What the hell is going on?" When katukov saw this scene, his brow suddenly locked. He turned to look at me and asked, "is this the fault caused by the immature technology you mentioned?"

"Yes, Comrade General." I looked up at a viewing platform on Lenin's tomb, and saw Stalin and Zhukov pointing to the other side. Knowing that they also found this situation, I went back to katukov and explained, "although this kind of tank is very advanced and is the vanguard of all German tanks, it is not perfect for various technical reasons, There are still many design defects, so we can't put them into practice for the time being. "

With these words, I looked at the platform again and found that Ustinov had disappeared. Maybe I went to deal with the tank fault myself. However, the tank on fire was far away from the parade area, so it did not cause much panic, and the rhythm of the military band was not affected at all.

After the parade, without waiting for me to leave the viewing platform, an officer of the guard regiment pushed against the crowd to our side, approached bezikov and whispered to him. Bezikov nodded, then turned to me and said in a low voice, "Rita, I have an order for you to meet Comrade Stalin in the Kremlin later."

Katukov walked a few steps and found that I didn't follow him. He guessed that there must be something wrong with me. He didn't want to. He reached out to me and said with a smile, "Rita, it seems that you should stay. I'll go first. We'll see you later."

As I shook hands with him, I politely said, "Comrade General, we'll see you later."

Twenty minutes later, I showed up in Stalin's office. Stalin was sitting behind his desk, smoking his cigarette. In addition to me, there were Zhukov, vasilevsky, Ustinov, kosikin, and a strange general in a military uniform full of medals and a pair of round glasses.

Seeing me coming, Stalin showed a smile on his face. He raised his hand to the general and said to me, "Rita, this is belia, vice chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, member of the National Defense Commission and Minister of the interior. You should not have seen him before." Then he turned to belia and said, "this is oshanina. I believe you must be familiar with him."

In Stalin's long list of titles, the most frightening one for me is the last one: Minister of the interior! Especially after listening to each other's name is belia, my legs can not help but slightly soften.

Although I was scared to death, since Stalin introduced us, I couldn't say hello to each other. I had to lean forward slightly, stretch out my hands to belia, and politely said, "Hello, comrade minister."

Belia took my hand, turned to Stalin and said, "Comrade Stalin, you are right. I am really familiar with general oshanina." After that, he turned to me and said, "Hello, comrade o'shanina. Although I have seen your information for a long time, I have the chance to see you for the first time today."

Stalin was surprised by belia's performance. He asked curiously, "Comrade belia, what kind of information do you have about Rita in your Ministry of interior?"

Hearing Stalin's question, belia released my hand, went to Stalin's desk and reported to him, "Comrade Stalin, it's like this. When we cleaned up the" Vlasov elements "last year, because of the close contact between Comrade oshanina and Vlasov, she was arrested as an important member."

"Nonsense, it's nonsense." Stalin took off his pipe in his mouth, knocked on the crystal ashtray on the table, and said discontentedly, "how can Rita be a 'vlasovian'? You know, although she and Vlasov had a lot in common before, they were all superior and subordinate. And at the critical moment of Vlasov's defection, she escaped from the enemy's encirclement by herself at risk. That's why she can't go along with Vlasov. "

When belia heard Stalin plead for my innocence in public, he quickly burst out a smile and said to Stalin, "Comrade Stalin, you are quite right. Oshanina is really not a" vlasovian. ". Originally, we planned to release her immediately after we found out this, but our grass-roots staff made mistakes in their work and still locked Comrade oshanina and those stubborn "Vlasov elements" together and were put on the execution ground. "

Stalin, who was filling his pipe with tobacco, stopped his hand movement when he heard that. He looked up at belia and asked in surprise, "Why have you never reported this to me? Huh? "

Seeing that Stalin showed signs of anger, belia quickly explained: "fortunately, with the blessing of the gods, the pistol that shot her got stuck, and general fejiuningsky, who was ordered by Marshal Zhukov to rescue her, arrived just in time, so she was able to escape from death."

Stalin threw his pipe on the table, stood up and said angrily, "can you execute an excellent commander with rich combat experience without going through the necessary trial?"

Belia saw that Stalin was going to come out from behind his desk and quickly came forward to help him. From Stalin's limping walking posture, I can imagine how seriously he was injured in the process of riding two days ago.

Belia helped Stalin to sit down at the conference table, and then explained to him, "Comrade Stalin, there must be trials, but due to the negligence of the investigators, the mistake of sending Comrade oshanina to the execution ground occurred."

Stalin put the cigarette end in his mouth, struck a match, lit it and said to belia, "tell me something about the interrogation."

I can tell from Stalin's tone that I was arrested as a "vlasovian" or even taken to the execution ground and nearly shot. It seems that Stalin didn't know anything about it.

Belia took a look at me and began to tell Stalin and others about my trial. When the interrogators heard that Stalin was one of the people who called me by my nickname, they all burst into laughter. Even Stalin could not help laughing. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he said to me, "Rita, if you are interrogated next time, you should still say so. When you confess to the list of people who have called you by your nickname, don't forget to mention my name."

"Comrade Stalin," Zhukov interjected, "I think my friendship with Rita should also be included in the list of secret service staff."

Stalin laughed at what Zhukov said but said nothing. Several people around him were smart people, and they also expressed their opinions one after another, asking me to include them in my intimate list when I was tried in the future. Seeing that everyone's opinions were surprisingly unified, belia also accompanied me with a smile and said, "Rita, if you are asked by the staff of the interior department who you are closely related to, please add my name."

"Now that it's over and Rita's all right, we'll turn to this page. It's time to talk about something important." Stalin turned to Ustinov and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "young comrades of the people's Committee, I want to hear your explanation, why our most advanced tanks break down when they go downhill, or even spontaneous combustion?"

In fact, I am very clear about this answer. Engineer Florin came from 1975. Although the T-72 tank was developed in 1967, equipped with the army in 1971 and formally finalized in 1973, considering that he retired, the technology he mastered for the T-72 tank is not complete. In addition, the existing production technology is quite different from that of later generations, As a result, if the tank produced fails, it can't be more normal.

When Ustinov was reporting to Stalin, I looked at Zhukov not far away to find out the real purpose of calling myself to the Kremlin. But we were separated by Stalin and Ustinov. In this case, I didn't have the courage to go directly to Zhukov and ask him the truth. I had to wait anxiously for the answer.

I don't know how long later, Ustinov stopped talking. Stalin nodded and said to him, "Comrade Ustinov, after you go back, you should organize experts from the base to work out solutions as soon as possible, and strive to equip the army with this new type of tank before the end of the year."

"I see, comrade Stalin." "I don't know if another type of new tank and self-propelled anti-aircraft gun can be put into mass production, so as to equip our troops as soon as possible," Ustinov said respectfully

"Yes." After that, Stalin nodded at him with a cigarette end in his hand, adding: "while producing new tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, don't forget the production of supporting ammunition."

"We have decided on a factory for the production of supporting ammunition. We will start production as soon as the production of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns begins." When Ustinov said this, his voice went down again. I only vaguely heard words like armored steel plate and tractor factory. It is estimated that he was reporting to Stalin where the above equipment was produced.

After Ustinov finished his report, it was vasilevsky's turn. According to his usual practice, he reported to Stalin on the holding of the parade. While praising the troops, he also put forward his own views on some existing problems.

Listening to vasilevsky's eloquent report, I was so anxious that Stalin called me in in a hurry and introduced me to belia. Then there was no following. He didn't want to transfer me to the interior department, did he? In my character, I'm expected to stay in the interior department for a short time, and I'll clean up belia.

It was not easy to wait until vasilevsky finished his report. I was relieved that I had finally come to an end. When Stalin finished explaining what he was going to tell me, I would be able to leave. However, I was just proud for a few seconds when I heard Zhukov's voice: "Comrade Stalin, please allow me to report to you the Kiev situation I just received."

When I heard the name of Kiev, my nerves became nervous. I listened attentively to Zhukov's report to Stalin and wanted to know what was going on with kirilov, Romanov and rebarko, whom I knew so well. Zhukov said slowly: "at present, general rebalko is staying in the reserve army for the time being. I plan to wait for him to rest for a while, and then assign him a new post." Stalin nodded at Zhukov's arrangement and then asked, "what about Lieutenant General Romanov, commander of our guerrilla army?" Zhukov went to the map next to the conference table, pointed the map with a stick and introduced it to Stalin, saying: "general Romanov led about 4000 troops out of the encirclement and was retreating toward Chernobyl in the north of Ukraine. According to his report, he planned to establish a new guerrilla base in the region and integrate the guerrillas in Ukraine and Belarus, In order to form a strong combat effectiveness. "“ Our Dnieper cluster had more than 30000 troops when it was at its peak. " After Zhukov finished, Stalin put forward his own question: "while there were only 4000 troops who broke through with Romanov, where did the remaining 20000 go?" Zhukov put down his explanation stick, straightened up and reported: "Comrade Stalin, our troops have suffered constant losses in the fierce battle, and the casualties are very large. According to the latest intelligence, there are only more than 4000 people in the formed and outstanding encirclement units. As for the remaining 20000 people, they either died or were scattered by... " When talking about the latter possibility, Zhukov hesitated for a moment, and finally used the word "break up" instead of "captured". When I heard the conversation between Zhukov and Stalin, another thought came into my mind: "is Stalin going to send me to Chernobyl to help Romanov command the army?" At the thought of this possibility, my heart beat faster. My heart said that it was an enemy occupied area. Let's carry out guerrilla warfare in a place where we are not familiar with the land and we can't get any supplies. Isn't that the same as asking me to die? Even if I have the aura of the protagonist, I can't die, but in the next two years of war, it's very difficult for me to achieve any remarkable achievements. How can I realize my dream of Marshal? Just as I was thinking about it, Stalin and Zhukov's words were finally over. Stalin waved to me and said kindly, "Rita, come to me. I have something important to tell you."
