Chapter 2712: Weaknesses that Cannot Be Hidden
Malashenko had distributed the captured German military supplies to the civilians displaced by the war a long time ago.
To be precise, he had been doing this since the time in Poland. Now it is just a "reproduction of the activity". It is indeed no big deal as Malalashenko himself said.
Although everyone understands the truth that "human lives are worse than dogs in troubled times", as an absolute ruler, Malalashenko still hopes that there will be fewer such rotten things in his ruling area where people starve to death in the streets and have to clean up the corpses.
As a ruler, it is really unlucky to have such rotten things happen in the ruling area under his rule. At least Comrade Ma is a little disgusted. He doesn't want to see "one corpse every three steps and one pair every five steps" on the ground when he goes out.
So as long as it does not hinder his work, does not affect the combat mission of the leadership division and conditions permit, it is no big deal to distribute some things that will not starve people to death.
Just like Malalashenko himself said.
The piles of captured German supplies are not worth looking at, and it is a pity to throw them away. Even if you keep them in the hands of the logistics and baggage troops, they will occupy a huge amount of logistics transportation capacity.
After all, the Leader Division is a highly mobile field corps, not a squatting brigade stationed on a certain line of defense to watch the warehouse. The wheeled trucks, which are far more numerous than tracked combat vehicles, are the blood transfusion arteries that maintain the basic operation of the Leader Division. And carrying these captured German supplies everywhere is basically equivalent to pumping feces into the blood vessels.
The soldiers don’t like it, the utilization efficiency is low, and it also consumes a lot of the transportation capacity of the Leader Division’s truck team. They have to carry them wherever they go. If you think about it carefully, this is no different from carrying a basket of garbage over mountains and ridges.
How to deal with these "tasteless to eat, a pity to throw away" things is what Malashenko, the commander of the Leader Division, has to consider and solve.
Then Malashenko thought of treating those war refugees who were hungry all day as "garbage recycling stations".
This not only solves the trouble, but also makes you a good person, and is conducive to maintaining the public security in your own ruling area, which is a good thing.
Any ruler needs to be clear that if you want the ordinary people under your rule not to cause trouble for you, reduce the crime rate and improve public security, it is absolutely a bottom line that cannot be lowered.
Of course, most ordinary people are afraid of death, which is a basic common sense of all living beings.
As long as you can eat, even if you can't eat enough, you won't starve to death. The number of people who put their heads on their belts and test the law will be greatly reduced. If you take two thorns to Caishikou and shoot them as a warning, it will be icing on the cake, which is enough to solve most of the crime problems in the jurisdiction, at least temporarily.
What? You ask what to do in the long run? Do you have to keep giving free food to these people?
Sorry, that's not a problem that our old comrade Ma should consider.
As a temporary military and political chief, Malashenko only needs temporary peace and security. The time required to defeat the Nazis and win the battle in Berlin is the standard. As long as this standard is achieved, it is considered a win.
In the long run, those trivial matters involving employment rate and livelihood security are not what Malashenko should consider now. At that time, the person who really manages this matter will not be himself, at least that's what Malashenko thinks now.
Malashenko did not intend to explain the above detailed pros and cons to Gil in detail, as he was tired of talking. But Gil had some unusual new views on Malashenko because of the situation in front of him, but Malashenko himself, who didn't want to pay attention to these, didn't notice it at all.
"Since you are distributing supplies to them, why can't you send them out of the city? Isn't it better? It can also reduce your burden."
""
Malashenko, who didn't want to answer this kind of question, felt that this little girl was really "lack of IQ" when he heard this, and it would be a bit unpleasant if he didn't explain it a little.
"How to identify whether there are any Nazi big fish who have escaped among the evacuated German civilians? I may have time to deal with this matter slowly in the future, but now, sorry, I can't take care of it. How to kill those Nazis with the highest efficiency and cost ratio is enough to give me a headache, and I don't have the energy to think about these anymore."
"In addition"
Malachenko rolled down the window and flicked the ash along the edge of the window. His eyes also moved to a team of patrol soldiers passing by on the street, and then continued to speak.
"You can see that the area under my control is now under full military control. The use of the main roads in the area must be based on military services first. The daily traffic of supplies and combat vehicles for the front-line troops is already crowded enough. If those German refugees are mixed with my troops, guess what will happen?"
"It only takes a disguised, fanatical Nazi who fishes in troubled waters to approach me, and my tons of supplies, or a whole car of soldiers, or a brand-new heavy tank will be wiped out on the spot."
"So the result is obvious. Unless the Nazis are either destroyed or surrender and the war is completely over, the military control will not be lifted for a day. I will be responsible for my soldiers to the best of my ability and minimize any possible risks they encounter. Even if this is at the cost of suffering and risks for these German civilians, I will not hesitate."
""
Sitting quietly on the other side of the back row, listening carefully to what Malashenko said.
Jill seemed to be lost in thought without any interruption. Her big watery eyes were looking out of the car and thinking about something. Malashenko did not break the silence and did not say a word until a moment later, when Jill, who seemed to have finished thinking, took the initiative to speak again.
"You know? You are a very contradictory person."
"On the one hand, you bring hope to these innocent people to live, but on the other hand, you block their escape route. I don't even know how to write an ending or an evaluation for this interview. You are so close to worldly kindness but seem so far away. This really confuses me."
Jill's question was quickly answered, but such an answer still could not eliminate the confusion in her heart, but deepened it. It also made Jill realize that if she wanted to really understand the man in front of her, she might have a long way to go in the future, provided that there was a chance.
"Kindness in war is actually a weakness, an obvious weakness that cannot be hidden."
"It is undeniable that the side that does whatever it takes and has no bottom line can gain greater advantages under the rules of the battlefield. What I want to defeat is not only such an enemy that is not even worthy of being called scum, but also the remaining kindness and humanity in my heart."
"War has turned us all into monsters, Miss Jill. The only difference is that we still long to become a normal person one day, while those nazis pray to be with all the evil and demons in this world.
"And we are the ones responsible for sending them to hell to see the demons."
