Chapter 2063 Right and Wrong
Comrade division commander ordered, and the people below naturally took it seriously and carried it out carefully, especially since almost everyone hated those Polish ghosts, so it was natural that they should treat it as a top priority.
Why do the leaders of the division, from division commanders like Malashenko, Lavrinenko, and Petrov, down to ordinary soldiers and company squad leaders, hate those Polish ghosts who beat people with all their teeth? The reason is naturally very simple: betrayal.
Yes, it's betrayal.
In the eyes of the majority of officers and soldiers of the Leadership Division, they are the vanguard of the Red Army representing millions of people. The frontline of the troops is directed towards the Nazis. They come to this painful place entangled with black evil to liberate the people here from the dire straits.
My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous.
From a purely 21st century perspective, such ideas and thinking may be a bit ridiculous.
The liberation of Poland was nothing more than a spin-off of the Soviet-German war. It was essentially a war of destruction based on irreconcilable ideologies between the Soviet Union and Germany. It seems a bit hypocritical to elevate the war of destroying opponents to such a sacred level, but such thoughts and thinking are the reality of what is happening now.
In the leading division with outstanding combat power, a large part of the soldiers are educated, and countless of them have received higher education. Most of them are commanders below the battalion level who have taken root at the grassroots level. This ensures that these highly educated soldiers The grassroots commanders of education can become one with the soldiers, popularize the spirit of learning required by the division organization to the soldiers, and enhance the collective soft power and cohesion.
As long as a person can understand what communism is and what the great cause of liberating the shackles of the oppressed workers and peasants around the world is, then this highly educated and knowledgeable person can influence more people around him and educate the people around him. Promote and spread this great and sacred cause.
This is the story that really happened among leaders in the past, present, or future, and it is also a story that generally happens at the grassroots level.
Our cause is sacred and great. We rescue the people of other countries who are brutally ruled and oppressed by fascism and smash their shackles. We are the most glorious liberators and enforcers of justice.
Malashenko has always been very fortunate that his troops can view the matter of fighting abroad in this way, and strictly requires himself to play the image of a just liberator, which is very conducive to the consolidation of the collective cohesion and sense of honor of the troops.
As for whether this belief and view of going abroad to fight can be called true, Malashenko believes that this is mainly a matter of human nature. Let’s see whether what you bring to the people of other countries who are brutally ruled by Fascism is a hopeful liberation or a new round of oppression and exploitation.
If it is the former, then Malashenko believes that his troops are worthy of the title of "glorious and just liberators." This is also the goal that Malashenko hopes to achieve, at least he hopes to do his best within the limits of his ability. Do it.
But now, this goal has encountered some obstacles. Those Poles who were liberated from slavery repaid their kindness with vengeance, giving the Red Army soldiers who fought with the German fascists a bloody nose and full of peach blossoms. They did not know what gratitude was at all. .
This kind of backstabbing and heart-wrenching behavior is considered tantamount to betrayal by the vast majority of the leadership division commanders, and it is the most irritating and infuriating kind.
So when those Polish ghosts who dared to beat people were beaten half-crippled by the angry Red Army soldiers on the spot and dragged to the square like dead dogs to prepare for public trial and execution, there were many people who were responsible for guarding the scene and The eyes of the soldiers who maintained order were filled with resentment, and they just wanted to see these Polish ghosts pay the price as soon as possible.
"Have everyone gathered?"
Malashenko, who had arranged the things at hand, came to the scene in person. He wanted to witness this moment with his own eyes, and then see how the Poles who came to watch would react. This would make it easier for Malashenko to take the next step. action.
After hearing Malashenko's question, Alsim, who was assigned to lead the team to do this, quietly nodded in response. This veteran with rich combat experience and good at physically conquering German sticks by various means has now obviously caught the eye of Malashenko, and has a "bright future" of being greatly reused.
"A total of eighteen people, all brought here. Without exception, they are all men, most of them are young and middle-aged, and a few are old men. As men, these bastards do not use their strength to deal with the Germans, but use them to deal with them. We have nothing to say to them, comrade division commander, and the soldiers all want these backstabbing bastards to get their due end.”
Malashenko has heard many versions of similar words. Alsim can only say "old words with new words" now, but the core meaning remains the same.
Seeing those badly beaten Polish ghosts being dragged to the execution ground like dead dogs, the political commissar of the First Brigade in charge of the public trial was already preparing to read out the documents. Malashenko stood on the sidelines before the last moment came. From my perspective, there is one last question I want to ask Alsim, who has personally participated in everything from beginning to end, and I want to hear his answer and opinion.
"We also killed many Poles during disguised raids. In the eyes of most Poles themselves, they are national heroes and righteous rebels. The future history of this country is destined to remember these people."
"Of course we can put the blame on the Germans and write history as the victors. But Alsim, under the premise that the truth will not change, but will only be hidden and overwritten, do you think what we are doing now is just? Can we stand above these Poles who stab us in the back and judge everything from a commanding height? This is what I care about."
"Don't worry too much. I am not confused about this, and I already have the answer in my heart. I just want to hear how you look at all this, from the perspective of a grassroots commander who is always fighting on the front line, rather than from the perspective of a division commander like me who has a comprehensive view of the situation. I want to hear your truest opinion in your heart, so just say what you think in your heart."
Malashenko's question came somewhat unexpectedly. Alsim, who had almost no cultural level, even had to spend more time thinking about what Malashenko meant in the unexpected situation, but this did not affect his answer immediately after he figured it out.
"I have never thought about what is right and wrong, comrade teacher, I am not afraid of you laughing at me, I have never read any books since I was a child, and I don't understand these doctrines and great principles."
