The decisive battle against the Third Reich

So it didn’t take long before Seninovich “confessed” everything, including some things that Seninovich was not sure about. Alexander also kindly reminded him: “It’s not within the scope of his authority.” Don’t talk nonsense about some things!”

Seninovich could not be brave and immediately replied: "Yes, Colonel. Some things are indeed beyond my scope of authority, and my knowledge of this plan is very limited!"

Qinchuan didn't need too detailed information. The more detailed the information, the more flaws there would be. As long as it could be proven that there was a counterattack plan and it was very reasonable, it could be used as strong evidence.

Then Qin Chuan and Alexander took turns interrogating Seninovich several times to make sure that Seninovich knew how to answer all the questions and that there were no loopholes. Then they took Seninovich back to another room. Go to the lounge to rest and heal.

Not even the translators and guards in the room knew about the whole thing. They really thought that Seninovich was hiding something, and they revealed more valuable information under their questioning.

In fact, needless to say about them, even Seninovich himself was kept in the dark. He thought that he had luckily saved his life with this "peeping" information. He had no idea that these were actually Qin Chuan and Alexander "made" him say so.

Then, after everyone left, Alexander patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder excitedly 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 Qinchuan and Alexander arrived in Karachi by helicopter... Paulus was in the headquarters looking at the map with his staff, puzzled.

Needless to say why they are troubled, of course it is the two vulnerable flanks. In the words of the staff officer, the head of state handed over the security of the 6th Army and even the security of the entire Eastern Front to the slave national army.

But without disobeying the orders of the head of state, which meant that he had to defend Stalingrad, Paulus simply did not have the extra troops to defend his nearly 1,000-kilometer-long flank.

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

"I heard that you two commandeered 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 your superiors, and I But don’t know anything about it!”

"That's exactly what I've come to report to you, General!" said Alexander.

"Oh, really?" Paulus said: "After you requisition? No matter what you are doing, it must stop immediately! I don't want to have any conflicts or misunderstandings with my allies at this time, do you 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 that they have complete self-control and command, but you commandeer them in the name of the army headquarters. Their airport... Fortunately General Dumitrescu did not protest, he just praised you as very good soldiers!”

General Dumitrescu is the commander-in-chief of the Romanian 3rd Army. Of course, he cannot be bypassed in requisitioning the airport. He obviously obtained the relevant details of "Operation Rat Hunt" from Adelin.

It's just that General Dumitrescu... seemed to have a problem with self-esteem and didn't say much when communicating with Paulus, so Paulus still doesn't know what Alexander and Qinchuan did.

"So!" Paulus then leaned back in his chair and asked, "What did you do by commandeering the airport?"

"This question..." Alexander said: "I think it is more appropriate for the major to answer, because this is mainly his doing, I am just...the middleman, yes, the middleman used to contact the Romanian army!"

Qin Chuan glanced at Alexander dissatisfied. He couldn't believe that Alexander had turned the blame on him, and Alexander seemed a little proud.

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

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

"Poof!" With a sound, all the half-drunk coffee that Paulus had just drank spurted out.

He wiped the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, looked at Qin Chuan blankly, and then turned his eyes 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 while and then asked: "Are you kidding?"

"of course not!"

"Absolutely not!"

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

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

"Then why are you doing this?" Paulus asked again: "For helicopter training?"

"For proof, 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!"
