Chapter 939 Shame on the Soviets (Plus More)
Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, the People's Commissar of Soviet Foreign Affairs, was sitting in his seat listening to the protest of the German ambassador Schulenburg.
"We and the Soviets have common interests. After the First World War, our fate was very similar, which brought us together. After that, we launched cooperation in various fields, industry, agriculture, commerce, and military. They are best friends, but today, such a thing happened!"
Schulenburg was quite angry: "You created an incident in front of the Brest Fortress, which caused a serious conflict with our fortress defenders, and then bombarded us with organized artillery fire. Are we declaring war on Germany?"
In the face of the anger of the German ambassador, Molotov had long been prepared, and he said firmly: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this matter, we will immediately urge the relevant parties to cease fire, there must be a misunderstanding here. ."
This side is sloppy in diplomacy, and the other side hastened to control the fortress into its own hands before the German reinforcements arrive. This is the abacus of the Soviets.
Now, the anger of the Germans, in the eyes of Molotov, is very comfortable, Germans, let you make a fool in Finland, now, prepare to suffer the consequences!
"We Germany cherish our friendship with the Soviet Union, but we will never be afraid of war. We have conquered Europe. We still value the non-aggression agreement with the Soviet Union. Now, the Soviet Union broke the agreement first. Then we We will also mobilize our own troops, since the Soviet Union is going to fight, then we will accompany us to the end!”
Schulenburg has the confidence that since the 1930s, Germany has never lost every war. Although it used to be a small country, the Soviet Union was a huge country with a vast territory, and Germany was never afraid.
Aren't the Soviets afraid of starting a war?
"Ambassador Schulenburg, please rest assured, this is definitely a misunderstanding, we will investigate it immediately, we also attach great importance to our friendship with Germany, please tell Fuhrer Cyric, this is just a small conflict on the border. , we will solve it as soon as possible," Molotov said.
Now let's take a sloppy eye, and when the Brest Fortress is in hand, don't expect the Soviet Union to spit it out.
"Please immediately order the front-line troops to stop the attack. If we don't stop, our German counterattack will definitely be quite violent." Schulenburg continued.
As if he saw that the Soviets were intentionally procrastinating, Molotov also looked helpless in the face of his attitude: "I'm sorry, Comrade Stalin went to Kyiv to inspect today, not in the Kremlin, as you know, Comrade Stalin is our great leader, and without him we would not dare to give any orders."
Putting the responsibility on Stalin, and relying on Stalin's reputation to delay time, this is an established plan. Molotov is very confident that he must behave quite moderately and finally resolve this matter satisfactorily.
"Please contact Comrade Stalin immediately and tell him that our head of state is already angry because of this incident." Schulenburg said: "I am here, waiting for your news."
"Okay, then I will immediately contact the Kyiv side and convey your opinion to Comrade Stalin. However, I don't know if I can get in touch. After all, no one knows the specific whereabouts of Comrade Stalin." Molotov said, standing Get up and go outside.
Walking to the next room, he sat down leisurely, it was still early! Let's talk in the afternoon.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang, and when I picked up the phone, there was already a person's anger on the other end. In an instant, Molotov was a jerk, and he ran out.
How is it possible, how is it possible!
When he ran to the conference room, he heard the voice of Stalin in a rage.
"A bunch of idiots, rice buckets, idiots!" Stalin's voice could be heard in almost the entire Kremlin: "There is nothing more humiliating than this, they should kill themselves on the spot, it is a shame for the Soviets!"
Molotov walked in quietly, saw Voroshilov and others, all bowed their heads, listening to Stalin's anger, he quietly picked up the telegram on the table.
Germany invaded the area within ten kilometers east of Brest, and took three infantry divisions, Timoshenko and Pavlov, captured in an organized manner, and also captured by the Germans!
"How is this possible?" Molotov asked. "Who sent this telegram?"
"Khrushchev, he escaped from the German encirclement and sent a telegram quickly, otherwise, we would still be in the dark." Voroshinov said quietly.
Khrushchev escaped and sent the latest information. When he got the telegram, Stalin was angry.
There are not many words on the telegram, and it is impossible to infer the situation concretely, but the authenticity is beyond doubt.
It turned out that it was not the Germans who were sloppy looking at the Germans, but the Germans who were acting for themselves! I just accompanied Schulenberg to comfort his emotions. Now, where do the Germans need comfort? It is the wounded little heart that is on our side!
Molotov hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing, waiting for Comrade Stalin to get angry.
Timoshenko and Pavlov are the most famous Soviet leaders. For this operation, the Soviets have been fully prepared. Poland does not have the bad weather like Finland. More bad news!
The tens of thousands of people we invested this time were actually captured by the Germans. Not only did we not get the Brest Fortress, but we continued to be invaded by the Germans for more than ten kilometers of territory. Those are the most dangerous points.
What is even more depressing is that this time, the Soviets were embarrassed and wanted to teach the Germans a lesson, but were instead taught a lesson by the Germans!
Stalin's big pipe, banging hard on the table, vented his anger: "What the hell is going on?"
The scene is chaotic. So far, no specific information has been sent. They have no idea what happened. They originally planned to hear the good news, but such a terrible fact came!
Finally, when Stalin saw Molotov, he immediately seemed to grab something: "Molotov, tell me, what's going on?"
How do I know what's going on! Molotov thought in his heart, and of course he had to say something on his mouth: "If our army is defeated so quickly, it means that the Germans are definitely not unprepared, they have long been prepared. All the preparations are made, waiting for us to get in, all of which are laid out by the Germans."
Everyone's heart was snowing, but no one dared to say it just now. Now, Molotov finally said it. To say that Germany was beaten by surprise, and it was able to fight back and even capture its own side, it is absolutely It is impossible, the only truth is that the Germans are already ready!
"Wait until Comrade Khrushchev returns and listen to his report." Stalin said: "Let Khrushchev, come and see me quickly!"
