Chapter 1318 Forced Betrayal
"Whatever you think, I don't believe that the German guy can shoot his accomplice, even if it's someone else's hand.
"Hey, what's the hurry? This is just the beginning. I think the commander has arranged it well. It will definitely be interesting. I never thought that a German guy would stand on our side to deal with another German guy. As expected of the commander, he can easily do things that ordinary people can't do. It makes people excited and impressed! "
The good show is going on, and there are certainly many people who are watching and eating melons, including Iushkin and Artyom.
After going through some things together, Iushkin has obviously put aside his earlier prejudice against Artyom and began to truly treat Artyom as his brother.
Although the relationship is definitely not as strong as that with Kirill, everyone knows that it takes a long time to accumulate, and it is useless to be anxious now. It is not the kind of thing that can be rushed.
Now Iushkin and Artyom, the good brothers, can sit together to eat melons, watch the show, and chat, which is much better than the previous embarrassment of Iushkin looking down on Artyom and not liking him.
Although the two brothers have different predictions about the final outcome of the good show in front of them, Iushkin spoke first and held an unpleasant , while Artyom was very optimistic about the arrangement of the tank commander and thought that there would be something interesting to watch. (っ◔◡◔)っ
But sometimes, it is because of the disagreement that there is a topic to talk about, right? This is similar to the principle of two people performing crosstalk.
"Here, have one"
It is really too boring to just lie on the turret and watch the show. Iushkin, who is almost as addicted to smoking as Malashenko, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out two cigarettes and handed one to Artyom.
There are few men fighting on the front line who don't smoke. A man who doesn't smoke on the battlefield is even more outrageous in the elite Stalin Guards First Tank Division than a senior teacher in the AV circle who tells you that she is still a virgin.
Just like Artyom, who was just a fitter in the shipyard before the war, his addiction to smoking is not much less than Iushkin's.
"Hmm? Where did you get this from? This is right! This smell is the general-level cigarettes! "
For old smokers, you don't even need to light up the cigarette, you can instantly know what it smells like by rubbing the cigarette under your nose and smelling it.
Iushkin suddenly took out a whole box of general-level special cigarettes, which was obviously completely inconsistent with his status as a lieutenant. As for how these cigarettes came from, there seems to be only one possibility that can explain it.
"Yes, I got it from Comrade Tank Commander. His monthly quota is much more than other major generals, and he has a surplus of food, drink, and cigarettes. He said it himself, but you may not have heard it carefully. Anyway, he can't finish all the cigarettes and he will give them to others. Why not let me get some of the benefits and smoke good cigarettes? I suggest you go back and ask him for a few boxes, it will definitely work. "
Some things need no further explanation, and those who understand will naturally know what to do.
Who is Malashenko?
He is a frequent guest on the front page of Pravda, a two-time winner of the Soviet Hero Award, and a favorite general trained by Marshal Zhukov. Most importantly, he was personally summoned by his father, Comrade Stalin, in the Kremlin, and he was not even a general at that time! This is very remarkable in the eyes of those meticulous and shrewd people!
Such a promising and shining red star is right in front of you, so what are you waiting for if you don't quickly build relationships and get close to him? As long as your head is not bubbling, you will definitely know what to do.
The concrete and specific behavior derived from this is Malashenko. I don't know why my monthly supply quota is almost double that of other major generals of the same level.
Maybe someone will hint to Malashenko in the future that all this is under his control, so as to achieve some purpose with Malashenko.
But at least for now, Malashenko is still confused about it. Of course, I am too lazy to check. With so many good things for free, do you still feel uncomfortable? It's not dirty stuff from a bad source, so it's good enough.
However, just when Ivushkin and Artyom were about to enjoy the wonderful and delicious cigarettes from the commander, a sudden gunshot suddenly tore through the tranquility of the battlefield where the smoke had not yet ended.
Bang——
"Fuck! That German is really capable! He really did it! "
Iushkin, who was so excited that his hands were shaking, almost threw away his cigarette. Of course, there was only one reason for such a loss of composure.
After a gunshot that tore through the silence, the fanatical German who was shouting nonsense had his head split open and lay on the ground like a scarecrow blown down by the wind. The remaining half of his head was red and white, flowing all over the ground, flowing on the white snow, which was extremely shocking.
The muzzle of the Mosin-Nagant rifle in the guard's hand was still emitting wisps of green smoke and the residual heat had not yet disappeared, but the order to shoot was not issued by Malashenko or Political Commissar Petrov. Major Winter, the instigator of all this, stood next to him, standing there motionless in the cold wind, quietly watching the scene that had just happened in front of him.
"What did you get after the gunshot? A satisfactory answer or a trustworthy newcomer?"
Political Commissar Petrov, who was leaning on the GAZ Jeep behind him, asked curiously, and Malashenko, who was leaning on the side, took a puff of the cigarette between his fingers and then spoke.
"It's not quite accurate to say that. It's better to say that we have a new comrade-in-arms. This is the pledge of allegiance he just submitted."
"And in the future, I can assure you that the qualitative change derived from this starting point will eventually affect the world."
Malashenko arranged the entire plan very carefully and carefully. Of course, it was not as simple as just killing a fanatical German who had been brainwashed to the point of being hopeless.
Malashenko not only instructed Major Winter to make the final decision of the two choices, but also called in a large number of German prisoners of war who had just been captured. There were hundreds of pairs of German eyes staring at this scene under the escort of the Red Army soldiers!
In addition, Malashenko also called three staff officers who could use cameras to take a few photos, shooting from multiple angles at the same time to ensure that the best of the scene would not be missed.
It is unrealistic to simply expect a person to completely betray the party sincerely. Using objective reality to force him to betray the party and follow the party wholeheartedly is the most common trick used by the superiors.
Although it sounds a bit unclean and the means are quite dirty, Malashenko does not care about the process. In this matter, he only wants the final result.
