Chapter 956 The Renegade
"Name."
"Zavrilov."
"Military rank?"
"Major."
"Now, please give a detailed account of the night before the conflict broke out."
"At that time, I took a vehicle to inspect the outpost in front of me, but was captured by a secret German army and brought to the fortress."
"You said you were captured by the Germans. Do you have any evidence? For example, did the people you travel with see it?"
Zavrilov shook his head: "No."
"That is to say, no one has confirmed that you were taken away, so it is also possible that you entered the fortress yourself and informed the Germans?"
"No, absolutely impossible, how could I do such a thing!" Zavrilov got up from his chair and said to the person opposite: "I am loyal to the Soviets, how could I go to the enemy!"
At this time, rhythmic voices were still ringing outside. Just on the way to Moscow, the interrogation of some of the prisoners began. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was in charge, needed to find out the truth of what happened at that time.
Now, Zavrilov keenly felt that this scene was familiar, and it was almost the same as the original cleanup!
This made Zavrilov very angry. After a near-death experience, he was tied to the top of the church in the fort by the Germans. He felt countless artillery shells flying, and the latest one even scratched his scalp.
In this case, he still survived. When he heard that he was going to return to China, he was even happy. He did not discredit the Soviets, and he still loved his motherland.
But now, the other party wants to pour dirty water on him!
"Sit down!" Two people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over to hold him down. After feeling his incompatibility, one of them picked up a wrench on the table and smashed Zavrilov's head hard. On his stomach, his stomach ate for a while, like a shrimp, he bent over, and the pain made him unable to straighten up.
Sure enough, these people are the best at interrogating prisoners, but they are not Soviet prisoners!
"It seems to be a die-hard, who refuses to confess. Take him down and bring Akimchikin here," said Yegor, who was in charge of the interrogation.
The car had no windows, it was gloomy, and Yegor was a little anxious. He had to investigate the whole incident completely during the process of going to Moscow. After all, there is only one side of the guy from Khrushchev, and many things have not yet been Unearthed.
In particular, he has no power to interrogate Timoshenko and Pavlov, and can only start with these lower-level officers!
In this regard, he has extensive experience. During the eradication of rebels, there were not 10,000 people who were convicted by his hands, but also 8,000. These people are useless by any means!
Moscow.
"The Germans cooperated very well, handed over the prisoners, and also withdrew from the occupied area. Everything has returned to the way it was before," Molotov said.
Molotov didn't say much about the specific diplomatic process in Germany. In short, everything was in line with Stalin's wishes.
However, Stalin's face was still gloomy.
These prisoners are really too embarrassing for the Soviets.
"Beria, you say, what should we do with these traitors?" Stalin asked.
Betrayal?
Surrender and treachery are two concepts. If the battle is not smooth, surrender is also an option, but treachery is different. treachery means that after surrendering, you obey the enemy, and then follow the enemy to bully yourself. fellow people.
It seems that no one has defected, right?
Beria hadn't figured out the situation yet, but he also knew that Stalin had already convicted these people by saying so, and none of them could escape.
"Comrade Stalin, we are a just country. We must examine them and convict them. Those guilty of serious crimes should be sentenced to capital punishment. Generally, they can be sent to Siberia." Beria said.
"Censorship, they are already in Germany!" Stalin said angrily: "Have you not noticed? The number of people sent by the Germans does not match the number of captured prisoners. Where did the more than 300 people go? ?"
Bellia immediately scolded herself for being stupid, for not paying attention to these details!
After the conflict, the specific data has been counted. Although the people killed by the large-caliber high-explosive bombs have turned into pieces of meat, they still counted them carefully, and the data obtained are credible.
But now, the number of people repatriated by Germany is less than this number. If the number is within 100, it is acceptable. After all, statistics are often inaccurate.
But if there are less than 300 people, this is definitely a problem!
"I'm sorry, Comrade Stalin, I'll go out and investigate." Beria hurried away, and soon, he came back with a look of shock: "Comrade Stalin, we have already investigated clearly, there are indeed more than 300 people. Instead of returning to Germany, they joined the German army and were called the Volunteers."
All the people present were pale, Beria gritted his teeth and said, "These people are all traitors to the Soviets. They also arrested their relatives and took them to Siberia to work as coolies!"
No one is not angry, the Soviets did not forget them and asked them back, they actually chose to stay in Germany!
It's impossible not to get angry.
But Beria's heart was like a mirror, he knew what Stalin was worried about.
Not long, these people have been captured for less than a month. As a result, more than 300 people have defected. This is an astonishing number! This shows what?
During the period of time they were captured, Germany must have bewitched them, and these people, although they came back, must be a factor of instability. They should not be too kind to these captured people. They flood the society and will definitely have a greater impact.
"Comrade Stalin, I suggest that the train transporting the prisoners goes all the way to the Ural Mountains, where, let them do manual labor and slowly reform them, and at the same time, identify the suspicious elements among them. Convict them under military law."
The railway line, built with the aid of the Germans, goes all the way to the Ural Mountains, where the mines require manpower, just enough to transport those prisoners there.
labour reform!
Stalin nodded: "Let's do it that way."
"So, what about Timoshenko and Pavlov?" Zhukov asked suddenly.
This question made Stalin's face darken: "It's time for them to undergo labor reform, and let them go to the Ural Mountains to sober up."
The defeated general! Stalin did not order them to be shot, which is good enough. Now, the reason why Stalin has not started is waiting for a specific report on this conflict. If in this conflict, Timoshenko, Pavlov , or Khrushchev, in which someone really made an unforgivable mistake, and Stalin would not be soft-hearted.
