Chapter 1655

The military parade on October Revolution Day still officially started at 9 a.m. on November 7.

As soon as the bell on the clock tower of spasco rang, Stalin, with the members of the highest base camp, stepped on the reviewing stand at the top of Lenin's tomb.

"Comrades," soon, Stalin's voice came out from the loudspeakers on the walls of the Red Palace and the Gumm Mall: "today, we are here to solemnly commemorate the 27th anniversary of the great October Revolution..."

On the Red Square, waiting for inspection, thousands of commanders and soldiers, and people standing on the observatories on the left and right sides of Lenin's tomb, listened quietly to Stalin's speech. Stalin's voice echoed over red square. His speech was mainly about the current situation. He said that since the beginning of the war three years ago, because of the victory in various battlefields, especially the battle of Belarus and the battle of Ukraine on the right bank, the balance of power between the enemy and US had changed fundamentally. With Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and other countries joining our camp, The enemy is now at a dead end. The dawn of victory is just ahead of us. In less than a year, we will be able to bring down the Communist Germany fundamentally

After the parade, we soon found a strange situation. Marching behind the band was a strange army. Their uniforms were very similar to those of the German army, but their badges were bright red.

Seeing the appearance of this army, the people in civilian clothes next to me began to talk in a low voice: "hell, where did that army come from? Are they the Germans who surrendered to us?"

"It's impossible." Another one said in disgust: "even the German troops who surrendered to our army are not qualified to participate in the Red Square parade. They can only cross the streets of Moscow under the escort of our soldiers and the spit of the onlookers as prisoners of war."

In fact, at the moment when this army appeared, I was confused for a moment, but after seeing clearly the flag held by the flagman, I immediately understood what was going on. He turned his head and looked at rokosovsky sitting on the left. He was sitting in his position without saying a word, looking at the troops marching on the Red Square indifferently.

I sighed softly, then looked at the two men who were in a state of confusion and said to them, "comrades, don't worry, this is our ally - the Bulgarian army, and they are now part of the anti Communist front."

"It's the Bulgarian army," I explained. People around me suddenly realized. "The main reason is that their uniforms are so similar to those of the German army. That's why we admit our mistake."

Bulgaria was followed by Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Judging from their disorderly pace, they should have been temporarily transferred from these newly liberated countries. Only after these allied forces of the anti Communist front have passed will our receiving party come out.

I carefully observed the weapons in the hands of the commanders and fighters, and found that the mosinlagan rifles, which were commonly used in the past, were all equipped with Popov submachine guns and a considerable number of assault rifles, except for the militia units in Moscow.

After the infantry square had passed, the tanks and artillery units of the army appeared.

"Rita," rokosovsky, who has been in a state of silence, finally said, "take a closer look, what's the difference between the tank and artillery units we are referring to today?"

When I heard him say this, I quickly focused on the tanks and towed guns that were passing in front of me. After watching for a while, I tentatively replied, "it seems that I didn't see the new type of tank that showed its magic power last year."

"That's right," rokosovsky said, nodding his head. "Not only are there no new types of tanks, but even dual barrel self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and large caliber self-propelled guns."

According to my opinion, at least some new equipment will be displayed in this parade. As a result, not only the new equipment is not available, but also several kinds of equipment from the future, which were popular last year, have disappeared for no reason. I approached rokosovsky and asked in a low voice, "Comrade marshal, why is this so?"

Rokosovsky looked around and then said, "there are too many people here. I'll talk to you after the parade."

Due to the technical equipment I was looking forward to, it disappeared from the parade team for no reason, and the rest of the parade ceremony suddenly became dull. It was not easy to wait until the end of the parade and when the people on the rostrum were almost gone, I got up and walked off the rostrum with rokosovsky.

Although many sections near red square have been strictly forbidden, we can only go out and can not enter, but rokosovsky and I are obviously not in the forbidden area. Seeing us walking past, the policemen and soldiers at the intersection immediately removed the iron fence blocking the road and flashed to the roadside to salute us.

Rokosovsky took me to a coffee shop and sat down in a small corner. After the waiter brought us coffee and left, he asked, "Rita, do you know why there are so many advanced technologies and equipment missing in today's military parade?"

I shook my head and said tentatively, "maybe it's because I'm afraid that German spies will steal the top secret information of these technical equipment, that's why I took such measures."

"Rita, you should know that some of these technical equipment have been installed in the army for a long time." Rokosovsky waved his hand to me and said, "these new types of technical equipment not only made the Germans suffer a great loss, but also were captured by the enemy. For them, it is no secret for a long time."“ That should be to guard against Britain and the United States and other countries. "Thinking that many members of Britain and the United States are present on today's rostrum, I continued to speculate:" there are no eternal friends or enemies between countries, only eternal interests. Although Britain and America are our friends today, maybe they will become our enemies in the future. Therefore, it is also necessary to take necessary confidentiality measures against them. " After repeating what I said about "the law of friends and enemies", rokosovsky nodded his head and said, "Rita, your summary is very incisive. However, as soldiers, we should pay attention to how to win the war. We'd better not participate in political affairs. Forget it. I don't think you can guess the reason. Let me tell you. The reason why so many technical equipment were lacking at this military parade is that all of these equipment were shut down at the beginning of the year. "“ All production stopped? " I was surprised by rokosovsky's words. No wonder I saw fewer and fewer new equipment in the army. I thought that the number of new equipment in the army was reduced because of insufficient production and limited transport capacity. But I didn't expect that the production had been stopped completely. So I asked curiously, "why?"“ Because a person in charge of the technology and equipment department said that the special armor plates and engines used in the new equipment are made in the United States, "rokosovsky said in a disdainful tone:" if we continue to mass produce new equipment, we will rely on the steel imported from the United States. Once the Soviet Union and the United States have a bad relationship, the other side will stop supplying us, There will be serious consequences. " Although rokosovsky did not say who put forward this absurd view, nor did he say what serious consequences it would cause, I knew in my heart that in the next war, history would return to its original track, and the tanks and artillery used by the Soviet army would become the same as in the real history. The only consolation is the assault rifles in the infantry. While I and rokosovsky were sitting in silence drinking coffee, an officer broke in from outside the coffee shop. He stood at the door, looked around, and then came quickly towards us. He came to us, stopped, raised his hand, saluted, then looked at me and said, "general oshanina, I've been ordered to come to you."“ "To me?" I looked up at the strange officer in front of me and asked in surprise, "who's looking for me?"“ "Marshal Zhukov," the officer replied quickly, "he said that there is something important to see you. Please report to him immediately!" I stood up and asked the officer curiously, "Comrade officer, how did you know I was here?" The officer shrugged and replied, "in fact, Marshal Zhukov saw you when you and marshal rokosovsky left the auditorium. After I received the order to look for you, I followed your route, asked all the way, and naturally found here. "“ Come on, Rita Rokosovsky said to me, "Zhukov is looking for you. There must be something very important. You'd better see him soon."“ Marshal, we'll see you later. " After that, I raised my hand to my forehead, saluted rokosovsky, then turned and followed the officer out of the cafe. I thought Zhukov would meet me in the Kremlin, but when I went out, I saw a black car parked outside. The officer ran to open the back door and respectfully asked me to get in“ Comrade officers, where are we going? " I closed the door and asked the officer in the co pilot's seat. The officer half turned and said to me respectfully, "general oshanina, Marshal Zhukov has now returned to the headquarters of the general staff, where he will meet you." Then he turned and told the driver, "drive!" Due to today's celebration, many streets have been closed for the residents in the city to hold a celebration parade, so the car we took had to change the route and shuttle in the alleys. At first I could recognize several familiar buildings, but soon I lost my sense of direction. Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a tall building. The officer turned to me and said, "general oshanina, we're here. Please get out of the car." I pushed open the car door and poked my head out, only to find that it was not a staff headquarters at all. He drew his head back and asked the officer sternly, "Comrade officer, what's the matter? This is not the headquarters of the general staff at all. Are you in the wrong place?"“ Yes, Comrade General. " A sneer suddenly appeared on the officer's face: "this is the place where you are going - ruyanka, the headquarters building of the Ministry of interior."
