Chapter 954 Willing to Stay (Plus 2)
"We can agree to two of the conditions, our army will return to the fortress, and we can return your prisoners." Cyric said: "This is the greatest sincerity of the empire, if the Soviets are still lucky , If you want to be an enemy of the Empire, the Empire will not hesitate to fight. However, I personally hope that we can restore our former friendship."
Cyric's words made Molotov happy.
These German high-level leaders came to laugh at themselves, but Cyric was still assertive, and it seemed that the analysis was good. The Germans couldn't wait to defeat the United States. At least now, they will not start a bigger war with the Soviet Union.
Do you agree to these conditions?
Of course it is for sure. As a diplomat, one must be thick-skinned. He even began to regret the conditions for compensation he added. Without these conditions, he would not have been humiliated just now.
This is fine. When the Soviets accumulate enough strength, they must completely destroy Germany!
When Molotov left with satisfaction, the people present asked inexplicably: "Why do you want to go back, we have already occupied those places!"
"Those captives are escorted to factories, mines, or labor! How can they be put back?"
"We are showing our weakness now, just to reassure the Soviets." Cyric said simply: "As long as we occupy the fortress, won't those territories be available at any time? As for those prisoners, since they have already been captured by us once , Are you worried about the second time? We do this just to show our generosity, which is necessary for a big country. "
As long as the fortress is in control, the territory can be obtained at any time, and it is not very useful to occupy it now. In this way, Germany has a good reason, and it can be shown that this conflict was completely provoked by the Soviets. Germany is the biggest party.
Now, those prisoners are treated well in the German prisoner of war camp. When they go back, they will definitely publicize it. This way, when the Soviets surrender next time, the psychological pressure will be less!
Timoshenge, generals like Pavlov, after returning home, what will Stalin do to them? I am afraid it will chill the hearts of more people. It is best to disintegrate the enemy from within.
Warsaw, POW camp.
"Quick, pack your things and get ready to get in the car!" the German soldier guarding, holding a loudspeaker, shouted to the prisoners of war.
In the past few days, the prisoners of war have had enough to eat and are basking in the sun every day. When they heard this sound, they were stunned for a moment.
I saw the German military vehicles, one after another, started up, apparently to take them away.
"Aren't they here to slaughter us?" a prisoner asked the people around him.
"If the Germans wanted to slaughter us, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now. With so many of us, the food we eat every day is a waste." Beside him, the brigade-level political commissar Zverre, who was also captured with him. Colonel Hu said to him: "Losov, it seems that we are going back."
go back? Losov suddenly appeared in a daze in front of him, and he didn't want to go back.
Losov, the son of a landlord when he was in Tsarist Russia, witnessed how his family declined. In order to cleanse himself, he had suffered all these years. After joining the army, it was even more dangerous. Missions are at the forefront.
A few years ago, the Soviet Union carried out a brutal purge. In his army, many senior cadres were purged, which made his heart feel a lot of throbbing.
The Soviets were not his home.
In this conflict, his comrades died, he witnessed the bombardment of the Germans' terrible artillery, and he survived in the prisoner of war camp.
Now, do you want to go back? What can I do when I go back?
Moreover, there was even more fear in his heart. The Soviets did not welcome prisoners. What would be the treatment of those who had surrendered to the enemy when they returned?
"Hey, where are we going?" Emboldened, Losov asked the German.
"Go to the Warsaw railway station, take a special train from there, and take you back to the Soviet Union." The German soldier was very friendly.
"No, I don't want to go back." Losov shouted loudly: "I don't want to go back to the Soviets, I want to stay here!"
After speaking, Losov shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, think about how many people died around us during the big purge! If we go back this time, we don't know how many people will be purged! We Just stay here!"
Losov's words made some people stop.
For most people, the Soviet is their home, with their relatives, friends.
However, for a small number of people, it is a sad place, especially, when they think of the purge, they have a premonition that their prospects are not good. In this case, is it appropriate to go back?
Seeing the commotion of the captives, the German soldiers also raised their vigilance. These captives are so kind to them, they can't make trouble!
"What's going on?" At this moment, the person in charge of the prisoner of war camp, with a higher-ranking official, came over and asked dissatisfiedly when he saw the chaos here.
"Some of the prisoners are unwilling to return to the Soviet Union."
As he replied, he looked at the man in the neat uniform. The more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and he finally remembered, isn't this the Minister of Propaganda Goebbels?
It was indeed Goebbels who sent the Soviet prisoners of war back. This was a friendly gesture by Germany to show its generosity. The propaganda department should cooperate closely to re-enhance the friendly relations with the Soviet Union and confuse the Soviets. This is beneficial to Germany's overall strategy. of.
But now, he heard a piece of news that made him even more excited. Some of these Soviet prisoners were unwilling to return to the Soviet Union!
Now, Germany is conscripting troops, and they are worried that the deployment of troops will affect domestic production. Since these people are unwilling to go back, it would be good to join the army!
Now, gather them secretly first, form a unit, and when it is time to attack the Soviet Union, you can show this unit with great fanfare.
On the one hand, it will destroy the morale of the Soviets and cause more people to surrender. If Moscow knows about it, how furious it will be! Needless to say, there will be wars in the future. Right now, after these people go back, Moscow finds that some people are willing to stay, and they will definitely feel unreliable for those who go back. This is a good way to divide the Soviet army.
On the other hand, it can also make up for the lack of their own troops, especially if they are driven to fight the Soviet Union, this scene is even more spectacular!
Thinking of this, he already had an idea.
"If you want to go, let them get in the car, and if you don't want to go, then stay." Goebbels said.
"Yes."
