Steel Soviet Union

Malashenko gave Vatutin individual advice many times to change his habit of running around on the front line and stop sitting around at the headquarters thinking about running to the battlefield. ReadМ

But there are some things that cannot be effective just by persuading you, especially if you are still persuading your leader as a subordinate. Even if you two have a very good relationship, what effect will it have? In fact, it only needs Just look at the obvious results right in front of you.

"How's it going? Have you got the baby?"

Before Malashenko could say anything, it was Vatutin who was the first to ask.

Seeing this situation, Malashenko could understand Vatutin's mood of caring about those babies. He wanted to say something, but decided to say it later. After sorting out his words, he quickly moved toward Vatutin. Kyo replied.

"I got everything and left nothing behind, Comrade Commander. Although the process was a bit difficult and there were unexpected situations, at least the mission goal was completed perfectly, and all the treasures were not damaged in any way. It is really a blessing among misfortunes."

In fact, as early as the first time after the operation was successful, Malashenko had already set up a radio station at the station and reported the latest mission completion status to Vatutin. The main purpose was to remind Vatutin to "send someone to pick him up quickly." Man, this is definitely a blow to the Germans!"

Malashenko was afraid that he would be intercepted by German reinforcements on his way back. It would not be a pleasant thing to fight with such treasures. Fortunately, such a thing was smooth and safe all the way. Didn't happen.

But there is one thing. The telegram Malashenko sent to Vatutin only briefly explained the completion of the task. It did not specify in detail which treasures and how many pieces were obtained, so Vatutin is not yet specific. It’s clear what kind of treasure Malashenko got back.

"Please come with me, Comrade Commander, and I will take you to see the spoils of this operation, the rare treasures of our motherland that have been handed down to this day."

Malashenko deliberately did not explain what it was immediately, leaving it here to give Vatutin a chance.

Vatutin, who was anxious to see with his own eyes, did not continue to ask Malashenko. Seeing is believing is better than hearing is false, not to mention that these things are right in front of you and can be seen immediately.

By the time Malashenko brought Vatutin to the betting convoy commanded by Karamov, Comrade Karamov, the general manager of the department, was personally directing his soldiers to unload the trucks one by one, and one by one they were painted with fascist iron. The large wooden box with the eagle logo was taken down from the car by everyone. Seeing this scene, Vatugin couldn't help but speak quietly.

"What kind of huge treasure is it? Or is there a lot of it? Why are there so many cars? I thought there were only a few boxes."

It is true that the main prize of this train robbery was the Amber Room, but this does not mean that Malashenko did not get other things. It is just that these other treasures are not worth mentioning compared to the Amber Room.

Faced with Vatutin's question, Malashenko, who decided to watch and talk at the same time, first led Vatutin to the nearest box, opened it with a crowbar, and then took out one of the items and said to Vatutin. .

“It’s huge and there’s a lot of it, so let’s start with the quantity.”

"This, the plate and wine glass used by Catherine, who knows what it is, it looks like a container for water. The Germans put a label of Peter the Great on it. I don't know if it is real. "

"Well, there's even this, a gift from the Kaiser to Catherine? It's like a woman's makeup box. In short, they are some cultural relics with status."

Malashenko took out the contents of the box as if he were showing off his collection of masterpieces. He continued to explain to Vatutin one by one with his left hand and one by one with his right hand.

As for Vatugin, he didn't stop moving his hands.

Now touching this, now looking at that, looking at the large box full of all kinds of treasures in front of him, he was really dazzled. It was like Grandma Liu had never seen the world before entering the Grand View Garden. Vatujin swore that he I have never seen so many babies since I was born, not even in my dreams.

"I just heard that the Germans looted the Catherine Palace in Leningrad. I didn't expect these fascist lackeys to be so bottomless. This should be the decoration on the palace door, right? These Sukkas Damn it, you actually took this thing apart!”

At least in front of Malashenko, Vatutin has always maintained the attitude he should have as a superior leader. This is the first time that Malashenko has been acquainted with Vatutin until today. Yes, but this is enough to show that Vatutin is really angry about everything in front of him.

Seeing this, Malashenko put down the dishes in his hands and felt that it was time to introduce some "real guys" to the digger.

When Malashenko led Vatutin to the largest wooden boxes that were finally unloaded from the car, a corner of the contents inside could actually be seen after prying off the lids of the boxes. It seemed that he had guessed something. Vatugin paused in his steps, his expression hesitant and surprised.

He subconsciously glanced at Malashenko next to him, only to find that the boy Malashenko had a mysterious and somewhat showy smile on his face, apparently signaling Vatutin to confirm it with his own eyes.

Based on some new information he had just received, Vatugin felt that his mind was more excited than ever. He tried his best to calm down his breathing and inner turmoil, and finally stepped forward and leaned over to see what was in the box with his own eyes.

"Is this the Amber Room?"

When Malashenko went to hijack the train, the intelligence department on the Soviet side was actually not idle. They were collecting clues through various intelligence channels and means almost all the time. The focus was on getting the list of supplies and making plans. Know exactly what treasures those Germans are trying to smuggle out of the country.

As the investigation deepened, Vatutin soon received the latest intelligence. The treasure the Germans tried to smuggle out of the country was most likely the Amber Room, a Soviet national treasure that had been stolen from Leningrad! As for why the Germans are only now thinking about smuggling the things lost in 1941 out of the country, the people at the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also confused. This requires more investigation.

After receiving the news, Vatutin initially thought about conveying it to Malashenko, but then he thought about how if Malashenko knew that the target object was most likely to be a treasure, he would be burdened with greater psychological pressure to command the operation. , maybe it may have the opposite effect when the frontline is urgent.

After weighing the pros and cons, Vatutin finally suppressed this "possible news" and once again chose to believe in Malashenko's ability and that Malashenko would continue to be responsible for completing the task.

And judging from the final result, Vatutin made the right bet again. In other words, it was this invisible tacit understanding and mutual trust between superiors and subordinates that led to such a "miracle". Results.
