Chapter 746 Confession

So it didn't take long for Seninnovich to "confess" everything. For some things that Seninnovich was not very sure about, Alexander kindly reminded him: "Don't talk nonsense about things that are not within your authority!"

Seninnovich would never show off and immediately replied: "Yes, Colonel. Some things are indeed beyond my authority, and I know very little about this plan!"

Qin Chuan didn't need too much detailed information. The more detailed it was, the more loopholes there would be. As long as it could be proved that there was such a counterattack plan and it was very reasonable, it could be used as strong evidence.

Then Qin Chuan and Alexander interrogated Seninnovich several times in turn to ensure that Seninnovich knew how to answer all the questions and there were no loopholes. Then they took Seninnovich back to another lounge for rest and treatment.

The whole thing, even the translator and guards in the room were unaware of it. They really thought that Seninnovich was hiding something, and only under their questioning did he reveal more valuable information.

In fact, not to mention them, even Seninovich himself was kept in the dark. He thought he had saved his life by chance with this "peeked" intelligence, and he didn't know that these were actually "let" him say so by Qin Chuan and Alexander.

Then, after everyone left, Alexander excitedly patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Well done, Major. Now, it's time to report the situation to the general!"

The general Alexander was talking about was of course his father Paulus.

When Qin Chuan and Alexander arrived in Karachi by helicopter... Paulus was looking at the map with the staff in the headquarters.

Needless to say, they were worried about the fragile flanks on both wings. In the words of the staff, the Führer handed over the safety of the 6th Army and even the entire Eastern Front to the vassal army.

But Paulus did not have any extra troops to defend his nearly 1,000-kilometer-long flank without disobeying the Führer's order, that is, he had to defend Stalingrad.

Seeing Alexander and Qin Chuan coming in, Paulus told his staff and took them into his private office.

"I heard that you two requisitioned the Romanian army's airport?" Paulus said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't know what you are doing, but I think you should know that any action requires the approval of the superiors, but I know nothing about it!"

"I am here to report this to you, General!" Alexander said.

"Oh, really?" Paulus said, "After you requisitioned it? Whatever you are doing, you must stop it immediately! I don't want any conflicts or misunderstandings with my allies at this time, understand?"

"Yes, General!" Alexander replied, "Understood!"

"Alexander!" Paulus softened his tone, "You should know that the relationship between us and our allies is very delicate. They demand complete self-control and command, but you requisitioned their airport in the name of the army headquarters... Fortunately, General Dumitrescu did not protest against this. He just praised you for being excellent soldiers!"

General Dumitrescu was the commander-in-chief of the Romanian 3rd Army. Of course, he could not be bypassed in requisitioning the airport. He obviously got the details of the "rat-catching operation" from Adelin.

It's just that General Dumitrescu...seemingly due to self-esteem issues, he didn't say much when communicating with Paulus, so Paulus still doesn't know what Alexander and Qin Chuan did until now.

"So!" Then Paulus leaned back in his chair and asked, "What did you do with the airport?"

"This question..." Alexander said, "I think it's more appropriate for the major to answer, because it was mainly done by him, I'm just... a middleman, yes, a middleman to contact the Romanian army!"

Qin Chuan looked at Alexander with dissatisfaction. He couldn't believe that Alexander actually put the blame on him, and Alexander seemed a little proud.

"Okay!" Paulus took the cup of coffee made by the orderly, and asked Qin Chuan while stirring it: "Major, I don't think you mind it!"

"Of course, General!" Qin Chuan replied, "We didn't do anything, just... captured a Soviet headquarters and captured two generals back!"

"Puff!" Paulus sprayed out all the coffee he had just drunk.

He wiped the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, looked at Qin Chuan blankly, and then turned his gaze to Alexander.

Alexander replied: "No, that's not true, General!"

After a pause, Alexander continued: "The fact is that the major annihilated a Soviet howitzer battalion, led the troops to defeat two Soviet guard companies, and then captured two Soviet generals!"

Paulus was stunned for a long time before asking: "Are you kidding?"

"Of course not!"

"Absolutely not!"

"You mean..." Paulus stood up involuntarily: "You drove a helicopter deep into the enemy's hinterland, attacked a Soviet command post and captured two generals?"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan and Alexander answered in unison.

"Then why did you do this?" Paulus asked again: "For helicopter training?"

"For evidence, General!" Alexander replied.

"What evidence?" Paulus looked puzzled.

"The part we attacked..." Alexander found a point on the map on the opposite wall: "Here, opposite the Romanian 3rd Army, the newly formed Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union, the headquarters of the 94th Infantry Division of the 21st Army unfortunately became our target!"

Looking at the position pointed out by Alexander, Paulus understood.

"You want to get information that is beneficial to us?" Paulus said: "Did you get what you wanted?"

"Yes, General!" Alexander replied: "But you just asked us to end what we are doing!"

Paulus glared at Alexander, and that expression made Alexander and Qin Chuan almost laugh.

"Tell me what you got!" Paulus said with a serious expression, and at the same time he was a little proud in his heart, because he found that his son had grown up, he did not need his protection and could do some things that surprised him, although he knew that these things were more of the credit of the "legendary sergeant".

"We got the Soviet offensive plan!" Alexander replied: "Now, all we need is to report this to the Führer!"
