Struggle in Soviet Russia

"He said he insisted on his position," the translator said. "Moreover, all the prisoners gathered here are prisoners of war. They were originally soldiers. Therefore, they should not be abused, but should retain the most basic dignity."

"No, no, no, when you set foot on the territory of the Soviet Union, when you burned the first house, blew up the first building, and shot the first Soviet man, you lost your reservation in this territory. The power of dignity," Victor drew out another cigarette, lit himself up, and after taking a sip, squinted, "For everyone living in this territory, you have only one name, and that is' Invaders'. Due to your aggression, the supply of materials for the alliance is already very tight. Every piece of our cotton clothes and every grain of food should be given priority to the builders and defenders of the alliance. We have no reason to supply scarce materials. , Supply to an aggressor, saboteur, otherwise, it would be unfair to everyone."

These words were a bit long, without pause, until he finished speaking, the interpreter blushed excitedly and interpreted these words to the German major with a sonorous voice. It can be seen that this person was born in the NKVD. His translator was very excited, and it seemed that these words touched his excitement.

After listening to the translation, the major was also very excited. He said something loudly, although his voice was hoarse, but his speaking speed was very fast.

"He said that this erroneous war was promoted by Hitler and his Nazi Party," the translator said. "The soldiers here are innocent. They are just obeying orders. In addition, he insists on his own terms, if we don't If he accepts this condition, he will not choose to cooperate with us."

"From your point of view, these remarks may be reasonable, but from a Soviet perspective, these remarks have no meaning at all," Victor smiled and said, "Hitler and his Nazi party may It’s the culprit, but for an ordinary Soviet, for a Soviet who was traumatized in the war, they can’t see Hitler and his Nazi Party, they can only see you. You killed their family They blew up their houses and burned down their farmland, so yes, they need to atone for their atrocities."

The tone paused, and Victor waited for the translator to finish explaining for the other party. Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued: "As for the cooperation you said, frankly speaking, I am not interested in the secrets you have, and we, the Red Army. The intelligence department of the People’s Republic of China is not as incompetent as you think. We have already known the organization of your "black band" a long time ago."

He stopped when he said, raised his hand, and made a gesture to the translator.

The interpreter quickly relayed his words, and in the process, the major’s eyes suddenly widened, as if he had heard some sensational news. Then, he said quickly, but his eyes were staring. On Victor's body.

"He said that it is impossible for our intelligence department to know the existence of the'Black Band'," the translator said. "It must be those British guys who have revealed to us the existence of their organization, and the British guys don't talk about credibility."

"As soldiers, we have to win the war first. When we triumph, we have to clear the plague at home." Victor smiled lightly and said something like a poem.

The translator waited for a few seconds, and saw that he didn't mean to continue speaking, so he translated the passage.

Upon hearing the translation of this passage, the major's lips began to tremble slightly, and he looked at Victor with an incredible look, muttering something in his mouth. The interpreter obviously didn't hear what he was saying, and made a helpless gesture toward Victor.

These words are well-known in the "Black Band" organization. Among them, the plague refers to the Nazi Party and Hitler. These words only appeared after the German attack on the Soviet Union. At that time, the British and " The connection between the "black bands" has been broken, and the British have lost their trust in them due to the German attack on Poland.

"Major Science, as I said, I am not interested in your organization, but I am very interested in you personally," Victor continued.

"Why?" After understanding Victor's meaning from the translator, the major asked in confusion, "Since you have enough information, you should know that our resistance organization is more powerful than I am alone."

"Of course, but because we have enough intelligence, we know the positions of those in your organization," Victor smiled. "They can choose to cooperate with the British and Americans, but they will not choose to cooperate with us. That’s the problem."

The major thought for a moment, and finally nodded in approval. Although the "Black Band" is an anti-Nazi organization, they are only anti-Nazis on certain military propositions, but they do not oppose the Nazis' position on German national superiority. In the eyes of the members of this organization, they can choose to cooperate with the British and Americans, but the Eastern Slavs are an inferior nation, and communism is also the object of their opposition. Therefore, they would not choose to cooperate with the Soviet Union. of.

The "Black Band" changed its position after the Battle of Stalingrad, and only then did some members begin to provide intelligence to the Soviet Union.

"So, Major Science, as I said, I am more interested in you personally than in your organization. I hope you can become our intelligence agent and provide us with valuable information," Victor waited for a while. Then he continued, "In return, I will provide the officers in the prisoner-of-war camp with necessary supplies to ensure their dignity. In addition, when the war is over, I can protect you and your family from being pursued by war crimes. responsibility."

The major was silent.

"You don't need to accept my proposal immediately," Victor smiled. "In the future, you will have time to think about this issue. I will honor part of my promise to you immediately. At the same time, arrange for someone to send you out of here and go to Klin. . You can return to your team. As for your whereabouts during the period of disappearance, I think you should find an excuse."

The interpreter relayed his words, and the major's face showed a surprised expression. He said something, and then stared at Victor.

"He said, do you really want to let him go? Don't worry about him not accepting your proposal after leaving here?" the translator said.

Victor smiled and did not answer the question. He stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and walked straight to the door. Just when he was about to reach the door, he stopped and said, "Let him prepare and send him. The car will leave in half an hour. Also, ask him to greet Mr. Stauffenberg for me, saying that I admire what they have done."

In fact, although the "black band" at this time had already planned two operations to assassinate Hitler, but Stauffenberg himself had not made this choice as his target of action. The reason why Victor mentions Stauffenberg’s action here The name is just to let the science major understand that he knows their organization very well. At the same time, he was telling the major implicitly that if he did not abide by the agreement and did not provide intelligence to the Soviet intelligence department, then the NKVD could make him pay at any time-after all, he is a member of the anti-Nazi organization One, once this news leaks out, not only himself, but his close comrades in arms will also be in danger.

Coming out of the cabin, Victor couldn't help shivering when he was blown by the cold wind outside. Not to mention, when he first entered the wooden house, he didn't feel how warm it was, but now he does.

"Care for these prisoners of war," called the captain in charge of the guard work, and Victor said, looking at the prisoners crowded in the snow den, "provide some tents and warm clothes for those lieutenants and officers above lieutenants. In addition, the food for them is slightly better, at least, don’t let them starve to death."

The captain was puzzled, he hesitated and did not answer.

"This is an order," Victor turned to look at him, and said with a serious expression, "Go ahead and execute it."

"Yes!" The captain replied helplessly and turned to leave.

In fact, Victor didn't care about the life and death of these captured German officers, he was just fulfilling his promise to the major science.

In fact, in his opinion, the Major of Popular Science may not really care about the life and death of these people. The reason why he made this request was to find an excuse for himself and find a reason for cooperating with the Soviet Union.

Yes, he was afraid of death, at least he didn't want to be frozen to death like a dog, so he found such an excuse to comfort his conscience on the one hand, and escape the threat of death on the other.

After all, there is only one life in human beings, so who can not be afraid of death? Since Major Science wanted to keep his own dignity while betraying him, then Victor didn't mind keeping his dignity. After all, all he needed was the information provided by the other party, not the dignity of the other party.

Major Science is a front-line officer in the German army. Although he is not a commander, the position of staff is obviously more suitable for providing information. Victor has reasons to attach more importance to him.

In addition, even though he said that he didn't value the organization "Black Band", in Victor's heart, he paid more attention to this organization than ever before. Moreover, he believes in one thing, that is, once the science major begins to provide intelligence to the Soviet army, over time, he will naturally draw more people in. At that time, he will not worry about not having the opportunity to establish contact with this organization.

Most importantly, the appearance of the popular science major gave Victor a wake-up call and reminded him that there was such an organization as the "Black Band". In the future, he will naturally arrange for intelligence personnel to sneak around the members of this organization, looking for opportunities to counter them.
