Chapter 955 Russian Liberation Army

Those who were willing to go back left, and those who were willing to stay gathered in the open space of the prisoner of war camp.

There are not many people, only more than 300 people, and they are also a little worried, what will the new life they are about to usher in?

Losov looked around, and was surprised to find that Colonel Zverev, the political commissar, actually chose to stay!

At this time, no one dared to speak, just made eye contact, Losov looked at Zverev, as if asking, why did you stay?

Losov remembered hearing that Zverev's hometown was in Kyiv, and he still had a wife and children there. How could he have to stay?

Zverev didn't answer, thinking more as a Soviet brigade commissar who had survived that terrible purge. Comrade Stalin did not trust anyone, the only thing he believed in was himself.

If all the prisoners of war have left, then it's okay to say that now, since there are some left, the prisoners who have left will probably not have a good end!

After hesitating for a long time, he still chose to stay. He was already disappointed in that terrifying authoritarian country.

They waited for about half an hour before they saw Goebbels walking onto the rostrum in front.

Goebbels had already spoken to Cyric on the phone, which was why he delayed the time. After receiving Cyric's instruction, Goebbels became more confident and bold.

He looked at the prisoners of war below, looked at their hesitant eyes, and said, "I am Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda Department of the Empire. Now, on behalf of the Empire, I welcome you. You have made the most important thing in your life. One choice."

In an instant, the following cheered up.

Goebbels, that is a high-ranking official of the empire, he is welcoming himself!

"Although in the last conflict, you did something unfavorable to the empire, but now, you have shown your attitude with facts. In the future, you will have a new identity and be an upright person in the empire. ” said Goebbels.

A new identity, which means that the Empire has accepted them!

Everyone is excited, only Zverev is still calm, many things, he has seen a lot, and he is numb, such a welcome from the empire is nothing more than to the empire, these surrendered people, are valuable.

Sure enough, Goebbels continued to speak: "You will be organized into a new unit called the Volunteer Corps, stationed in Warsaw, and the prisoner of war camp here will become your camp. I hope that under the training of the instructors, Become a lion force."

These people, of course, are to be organized into troops. Originally, Goebbels intended to call this force the Russian Liberation Army. Unfortunately, it was rejected by Cyric, thinking that giving this unit such a name would seriously stimulate the Soviets and even speculate on Germany's intentions.

Therefore, it was temporarily named the Volunteer Corps. After the outbreak of the war against the Soviet Union, it will be declared in the name of the Russian Liberation Army.

Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought! Zverev thought in his heart that these people on his side would still be under the control of the German army and fight with them everywhere.

But it's better to be Germany's friend than their enemy.

Zverev lost his mind and didn't even hear Goebbels' speech on the stage, but he saw the people around him, all looking at him!

what happened?

"Colonel Zverev, he is the highest rank among us, and we recommend him as our troop commander." At this moment, Losov, who was beside him, spoke.

Only then did Zverev react. It turned out that he was going to choose a commander from among these people on his own side. His rank is colonel, which is the highest among these people!

Zverev looked at the stage. At this time, Goebbels also walked down from above, walked to Zverev, and said to him, "Colonel, are you willing to lead this army?"

"I am willing to serve." Zverev said, and he had no chance of refusing at all.

"Okay, the reorganization of the army will start today. It's hard work. The weapons will be delivered within a week, and you will form an infantry brigade." Goebbels said lightly: "This will be a great the beginning of."

The people present were already cheering excitedly.

On this day, the predecessor of the Russian People's Liberation Army, the Volunteer Corps, was established in this way. The initial size of this force was only a few hundred people, barely forming a brigade. After that, this force was rapidly expanded. Woke up.

After that, it also played its own responsibilities, helping the German army and maintaining the security of the Soviet-occupied areas, and those who initially joined have been promoted several times and become the most loyal foreign corps in the empire.

Just as the Volunteer Corps was established, other prisoners of war boarded a train from Warsaw to the Soviet Union.

The train had only traveled for two hours before it stopped at the border. A team of military police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was replaced.

These men were all burly men with steel guns in their hands.

"Hey, brother, do you have any cigarettes?" a prisoner asked the military police when he finally returned home. He was in a very happy mood. Are the military police around him a comrade-in-arms?

"Go back, go back to your own seat! No one is allowed to move!" shouted the gendarmerie, already pointing a gun at him.

The prisoner's face turned pale for a while. In Germany, in the prisoner of war camp, the soldiers guarding him were all very kind. Now, in his own country, why are these people who came to pick him up so fierce?

"Hmph, I won't give it if I don't give it. I'll take it when I get home." The prisoner complained a few words and walked back.

Inside the car, there was silence.

Brother Timoshen sat in a corner. When he entered the prisoner of war camp, his epaulettes and anything that marked his rank were taken away. Now he is no different from an ordinary soldier.

Now, looking at these gendarmerie, he has a premonition that something is not good.

Prisoners are not welcome. In the prisoner of war camp, Timoshenko also hesitated, but in the end, he came back. As a Soviet soldier, he was already ashamed enough. If he stayed in Germany, he would be even more to shame the Soviets.

If it was before, at the border of the Soviet Union, the wheels needed to be changed, and the width of the track was different, but now, this special line has been repaired, and there is no need to change the wheels, and soon, the train will set off again.

Sitting in the corner, Timoshenko awaits his unknown fate, and at this moment, in Moscow, opinions on their disposition are being discussed.
