Chapter 2239 Want to Talk?

Chapter 2244 Do you want to talk?

It is not appropriate to say that Malashenko despises and insults Lieutenant General Dritz.

The reason why Malashenko asked this question right away was that he was really curious. After all, whenever the leader division received a combat mission, it was almost without exception to fight against the extremely difficult Wehrmacht and SS elites, whether it was an offensive or a defensive operation in the past.

If you fight against such an enemy, you basically can't expect to capture too many prisoners in an organized manner. The fighting will of those German elites is absolutely as worthy of their text numbers. Don't think that you can deal with them like you can deal with ordinary German troops with simple digital numbers. It is true that capturing tens of thousands of prisoners at one time has never been encountered in the past.

Speaking of the 41st Armored Corps, although it is not a division-level elite unit with a text title, it is at least a real first-level main field cluster. If we enlarge it to the army-level units under the Wehrmacht system, then this is a main force elite. Just from being placed on the front line of the border to face the strategic offensive of the Red Army, we can see its importance. Malashenko is indeed very interested in why the remaining more than 10,000 main force elites of the Wehrmacht did not continue to fight to the death, but chose to surrender.

Moreover, Malashenko also heard from the captives about the reasons behind the 41st Armored Corps' seemingly strange and incredible actions, but the words spoken by the little major still lack authenticity because he only heard it from hearsay.

Only by getting confirmation from the more senior commander of the 41st Armored Corps who holds the core power, can Malashenko confirm the authenticity of some situations. And if these news come from the mouth of Lieutenant General Dritz, the commander of the army, it would naturally be the best. Malashenko also wants to try to open the conversation with a question first, so as to continue the next conversation.

"Do you have a better place to talk? The conversation between you and me should not be heard by just anyone, right?"

Compared to Malashenko's joking question, Lieutenant General Dritz's response was bland, just like chatting with friends and colleagues. His indifferent look and words did not really have anything to do with adjectives such as "arrogant and domineering".

Coincidentally, Malashenko, who had just won a great victory and captured more than 10,000 enemies, was in a good mood. With a relaxed smile, he nodded and agreed to Lieutenant General Dritz's suggestion.

"Come with me, I'll take you to a place you think is suitable for talking."

The forward field division headquarters led by the political commissar has been following closely behind Malashenko's large force, so the actual location of the division headquarters is not far from the front-line battlefield. Malashenko's convoy soon arrived at the location of the field division headquarters with Lieutenant General Dritz and his entourage and parked by the side of the road.

After getting off the car, Malashenko pointed to a small tent not far away, and said to Dritz, who had just gotten off another car under the escort of the soldiers.

"How is this place? It's a field communication station. I can clear the people inside. If you have no problem, it's here."

Although Malashenko's words sounded quite polite, it seemed that he also meant "If you are not satisfied, we can change again."

But Dritz knew the power of this young and harmless Russian kid, and he was also a super ruthless person who could make ruthless words and realize them. It was best not to irritate him. Besides, Dritz just wanted a relatively quiet place to talk with no ears around him, not deliberately looking for trouble, so he naturally followed Malashenko's meaning and slipped down.

"I have no objection, or rather, I should obey your orders now."

""

Hearing this, Malashenko seemed a little surprised, but soon he turned his stagnant face into a smile, and patted Dritz's shoulder with a smile without caring about the huge age gap, and spoke.

"Okay, very good! Just for this point, you are much better than that idiot named Paulus. That stupid ass surrendered and still put on airs in front of me, trying to take away some dignity from me, it's just a joke."

Dritz, who smiled and patted his shoulder like a leader praising his subordinates, didn't care about this at all. He was just surprised by what Malashenko just said.

"Paulus? You mean Marshal Paulus? You mean, was he also captured by you???"

The annihilation of the Sixth Army in Stalingrad is the eternal pain point of the entire Germany.

Well, at least before the demise of the three Germans.

This incident was promoted by the propaganda machine of the little yellow Goebbels as a heroic German soldier who died on the battlefield for his country and obeyed the orders of the head of state. His death was heroic, glorious, and great.

Any news related to the Sixth Army was made into positive news by whitewashing the news. Anyone who dared to question or "publicly spread rumors" would be investigated, warned, or even arrested and detained by the Gestapo. Depending on the severity of the case, it was possible that he would be shot and executed. The only way out for German traitors was death.

Based on this background, it is difficult for even front-line senior generals like Lieutenant General Dritz to find out the truth, and there is no need to cause trouble for themselves due to excessive curiosity and inquiring about information. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, and Dritz, who has reached the rank of lieutenant general, can still understand this basic truth.

Therefore, he only knows that Paulus surrendered against the orders of the head of state, but he does not know the specific details of the matter, let alone who Paulus was captured and to whom he surrendered. He originally even guessed that it might be a famous Soviet general like Chuikov or even Zhukov, but he never expected that it would be the "Steel Butcher" so close to him.

Compared to Deritz's surprise and disbelief, Malashenko, who didn't think this was something worth bragging about, just smiled as usual.

"After you are sent to the Soviet Union, find an opportunity to see if you can meet Paulus. You can apply. I think there is hope. Then you can ask him in person, just say Namalashenko He was the one who captured you alive. See if he admits it. I guess there is no chance of lying. This guy has been quite cooperative with our work so far. "

"Oh, by the way, he also wrote an open letter to the German soldiers held in the prisoner of war camp, exposing the truth that your head of state deceived the soldiers and asked those poor soldiers to die for his ambitions. I guess you don't know this, huh? You can have a good talk with him then, and maybe he can persuade you and let you know what the bad things in Berlin are like. "
