Chapter 3013 Loyalty and Rewards

When assigning the task earlier, Malashenko had specifically reminded Clause.

Clause could decide for himself how to deal with Wittmann and what specific means to use.

The power was decentralized enough, so he could do it freely and the trust was quite enough, at least on the surface, and Malashenko also received Clause's "tears of gratitude".

But there was a prerequisite for all this. Malashenko expressly prohibited Clause from using "tough work".

For Wittmann, Malashenko wanted a living person with complete parts, a person who could still live and work normally, not a useless person who was tormented and scrapped by physical pain.

Even if Wittmann was a tool, a tool had to be able to be used normally to be a tool, otherwise it would only be a pile of waste garbage.

Clause himself was not very proficient in interrogation and persuading surrender, and Malashenko set such additional conditions. He was still facing an obstinate SS. He knew that it was not easy, but he finally took the order and executed it.

Although the result was not good, Wittmann, who was as stinky and hard as a piece of stinky dog ​​shit, not only did not surrender, but also scolded the "well-intentioned" Krause, and even criticized Malashenko.

Krause was so angry that he secretly vowed to be 100% loyal to Malashenko. He trembled all over and gnashed his teeth on the spot, wishing to give this SS stinky dog ​​shit a hard job immediately.

But reason prevailed after all. At the critical moment, thinking of Malashenko's repeated warnings and special requests, Krause finally held back and didn't fight with this SS idiot.

But no hard work, no hard work, a little punishment is still necessary, just like Krause reported to Malashenko truthfully now.

"I followed your request, General, and did not torture this SS lunatic."

"But he was rude and refused to listen to advice, and he repeatedly insulted you in front of me and the interrogators. I realized that some due punishment was necessary and he must know that he had to bear the consequences of his wild words. So I gave him a bath and washed his dog face. After that, this guy was much more sober, at least he didn't open his mouth and just barked randomly."

Huh?

He took a bath and washed his face?

After thinking about it for a while, Malashenko could probably guess what the scene would be like. The German army's top armored ace was tied to a chair like a drowned dog, and his whole body was repeatedly poured with cold water, and his head was pressed to wash his face.

Malashenko felt that Wittmann might not have thought that he would have this day, and he was fucking "enjoying a feast" at the hands of "his own people".

Very good, it is indeed necessary to use both kindness and force.

Being weak and only saying nice things to them will only make them feel that you are being manipulated and they dare not do anything to them, so they will naturally become more arrogant and presumptuous.

Pour some cold water on your face, just to sober up your fanatical and manic mind. Wittmann, the top armored ace of the Three Germans, whose record is better than that of Karvus in history, would be unworthy of his reputation if he was ruined by a cold water.

Even such a weak and vulnerable rookie, Malashenko is useless.

So what Clauser did was indeed not wrong, and it was not even disobeying orders.

"Very good, you did a good job, Clausen, thank you and your people for your hard work this time."

"Oh, I have asked someone to arrange the matter you asked me to help you with last time. You and the people under you on the list you reported, all the families are now the focus of care."

"Housing will be allocated as soon as possible, and the children's schooling and spouse's work will be solved together to ensure that you have no worries."

"So just do your job well, and I will solve and arrange everything else for you."

Why is Clausen willing to work with him wholeheartedly?

Malachenko certainly knows it.

These men with families and elite veterans who have served for the second time can no longer risk their lives for something huge and beautiful, but illusory and too far away, like the hot-headed recruits.

So this is the fundamental reason why they turned against their former comrades.

There are too many things in their hearts that they can't let go, and they realize that they have been deceived by lies all the time. Fighting for their families, for their loved ones, to ensure that they can survive, and continue to take care of them in the ruined homeland, these people's purpose is so simple and pure.

So taking good care of these people's loved ones, solving their worries, and letting them know that their original choice and efforts were not in vain and that they followed the right people, is the top priority that Malashenko must do as soon as possible, and it is also a "reward" for Krause and his brothers to be loyal to him.

Hearing that the matter he had just asked the general to help with two days ago had a result so quickly, Krause was so excited that he wanted to jump.

In the German mainland that was beaten into a pile of ruins, most people had difficulty surviving and were still hungry, but their wives and daughters were already considering employment and schooling, and even housing was allocated free of charge. I just want to ask you if this gap is big, right? Neighbors and even relatives who used to look down on them now only have envy.

So in addition to being extremely grateful, Krauze also secretly marveled at the skill and energy of this famous "Iron Butcher".

After defecting to the Russian side, Krauser also heard a lot of things that he had never heard before, about the person he was currently loyal to.

It was only at this time that Krauser learned that the "Iron Butcher", who was described as a "man-eating devil" within the German army, actually had such a great background and energy in the Red Army.

Zhukov, Chuikov, Vatutin, Rokossovsky

There are so many big figures who have close contacts with Malashenko that they are too numerous to mention. According to the rumors that Krauser himself heard, even his loving father Stalin often mentioned Malashenko’s name and asked about the person named after him. The current status and results of the Red Army's top corps.

Facts have proved that Malashenko can not only take care of war-related matters on the battlefield, but also take care of the worries of ordinary soldiers off the battlefield. Even if these ordinary soldiers are Germans, he can still take care of everything.

Such a result further strengthened Krauser's belief that he was not with the wrong person, and he was even glad that his original choice was really lucky.

As a junior lieutenant, an "elite soldier" who was not much better than ordinary soldiers, it was the luckiest thing in my life to have such a thick thigh.

If it hadn't been for the mercy of the general, my wife and children would probably still be digging in the rubble to eat, right? There was no need to even think about having a house to live in while going to school and working. It would be good if I could survive this miserable life.

Krauser even had visions of "a successful career is just around the corner" and felt that the turning point in his life had arrived. Even more so, he couldn't help but sneer secretly at the insults hurled at him by Wittmann, a stubborn SS lunatic who couldn't see the changes of the times.

"What's wrong with being a dog? You can be a dog for General Malashenko. How many people want to be a dog but haven't had the chance! Aren't you a dog too? Or are you being a dog for the Nazis who have been crushed to ashes? You were deceived. You are still doing your duty as a dog at the grave. How can you be so stupid as an SS scumbag? You should take care of yourself first! The greatest honor!”

Malashenko didn't know that Krauser's mood had changed so much. He just heard that from the moment after receiving the "reward" to now, he had been extremely excited and thanked him non-stop.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch and found that it was already late. Thinking that he had to hurry up and do things, Malashenko immediately stood up and spoke.

"Let's go, take me to Wittmann's side. I will meet the SS leader personally to see how stubborn he is."

Malashenko was interested in going, but Krauser was worried about what he should do if the general could not use him and would not give him work. It was too late to serve the general back and forth, so he should have quickly said with a smile, "General." this way please".

But something unexpected happened as soon as he went out. A tall and mighty Slavic man came towards him. He walked across the corner of the stairs and directly blocked Krause's way.

Of course, Krauser recognized this man. He and the Alsim Commandos faked a surprise attack, held the front line together and fought side by side under the enemy's artillery fire, but he still vividly remembers it to this day.

Alsim, who was extremely powerful in combat and looked like a humanoid tank, certainly left a deep impression on Krause.

On the other hand, Alsim, although at first there was a considerable degree of stereotypes, prejudice, and even discrimination against the Germans who came to Germany.

But after having been on the battlefield together and seeing the skills and dedication of this group of people, Alsim knew that his company could capture the Moltke Bridge and that the role played by these traitorous Germans must be indispensable. I was relieved and corrected my previous stereotypes and prejudices.

Not to mention how much respect you have, but at least equal respect can be achieved.

After all, this is what Malashenko hopes Alsim can do, so Alsim knows that he must do it, and there is nothing else to say.

"Hello, Major Alsim! I haven't seen you for a while since we left in Berlin. How are you doing recently? I heard that your company planted the red flag on the Reichstag. You are really a hero. Congratulations. "

Alsim was promoted, and after the battle in Berlin, Malashenko gave him two rewards at once.

First, Malashenko personally drafted the application for and was approved for the Hero of the Soviet Union award.

Second, he took off his lieutenant uniform and put on new clothes, officially entering the ranks of a school officer.

In terms of military rank alone, Alsim and Krause were actually equal, but one of them was formally assigned and the other was not even assigned. They were foremen of the labor force working privately for the general.

Krauser, who knew that he was "inferior", didn't care about this, as long as the general could take a fancy to him and reuse him. The general is the "noble man" who gives himself everything and allows him to live a life that he could not even imagine before. Apart from that, everything else can be unimportant.

What's more, Alsim didn't do anything to him, didn't discriminate against him, and was decent, which made Krauser, who had always wanted to be friends with Alsim, very happy.

Faced with Krauser's proactive greetings and congratulations, Alsim, who also had a polite smile on his face, immediately reached out to shake hands with him.

"Yes, long time no see, Major Krauser. This new uniform looks really good. I believe your team will grow stronger and stronger in the future, and you will contribute to your motherland as a true German."

Alsim is not very good at saying nice things, so he only learned this simple sentence after following Malashenko for a long time and paying careful attention to it.

Just as the two people were exchanging greetings, Malashenko, who came out of his office a little later, had also quietly walked over.

"Huh? Alsim, come see me if you have anything?"

Malashenko didn't remember that there was a meeting with Alsim on today's schedule. In this case, it should be Alsim who has the power to meet directly with the military commander. He came here specifically to answer the question that followed. Not surprisingly.

"Yes, Comrade Commander. The things you asked me to do have already been planned. I have brought a written document for you to take a look at."

"Oh, this is the matter"

Malashenko remembered that he had something to entrust to Alsim, and it was a major matter that he personally handled and directed the deployment.

But it's not an urgent matter, so it doesn't matter if it's a little late.

After taking the document and flipping through it, he turned to hand it to the secretary on duty and asked him to put it away properly until he came back to review it in detail. Malashenko, who made temporary adjustments to the arrangement, then said to Krauser.

"You go back first, Krauser. I will arrive later. The plan remains the same and I still have to meet Wittmann, so I can make preparations first."

"Understood, I'll do it right away, General."

Krauser followed the order and left, but Alsim, who continued to chat with Malashenko and slowly walked downstairs, was a little surprised.

"Are you going to see the SS leader? I heard that that guy is a stubborn, fanatical lunatic with a pure heart. He is simply stupid. He may not be as willing to serve you as Krauser."

Many people think so, Krauser thinks so, and Alsim thinks so too, but Malashenko thinks he has a way and it's worth a try.

"Whether he is willing or not in the end, he may not even realize it now. I have to wait until I see him."

"But I asked Krause to go back first because I have something to talk to you about alone. Alsim, let's talk about you first, about your future."

There will be a second update later. Seeing that brothers have requested more updates, I will try my best to write more words. Thank you all for your support over the past 6 million words. Thank you, Corgi.
