The Rise of the Third Reich

Chapter 676 Long live Comrade Queen

Germany, Nuremberg, Soviet-German Friendship Concentration Camp.

In a relatively clean and tidy restaurant where German officers in the concentration camp usually dine, a special buffet is being held tonight. The host was Empress Olga of the Russian Empire, and most of the people who came to eat were the former commanders and political workers of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army - now they are traitors to the Soviet Union!

Of course, there is one guest who is not a traitor, and that is the great internationalist fighter Comrade Curtis LeMay.

He was not a Soviet citizen, nor a Red Army commander or political worker, so Article 58 of the Soviet Criminal Code did not apply. He is just a good person who comes to eat... The Germans have nothing to do with today's dinner. Comrade Li Mei can finally put aside his cheeks and eat a ton.

So as soon as the dishes were served, he started eating and drinking, and he didn't want to listen to the Russian empress's nonsense.

"Comrades!"

But as soon as the Russian Empress opened her mouth, Comrade Le Mei almost got angry because she actually called a group of Soviet Bolsheviks comrades! Are they your comrades?

Queen Olga glanced at Li Mei who was eating and drinking, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the few traitors standing closest to her. They were all "high-level traitors", and the leader was the 16th Army of the former Red Army. Mechanized Army Commander Sokarov and Army Political Commissar Fegulov.

The Queen smiled brightly at them, and then said: "The reason why I call you this is because you and I are already true comrades. We now have a common enemy, which is Stalin, General Secretary of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union."

It was Stalin who betrayed you first... His behavior of forming an alliance with imperialist and capitalist countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States and pushing you and the entire Russia to the battlefield was not only a betrayal of Russia, but also a betrayal of you Bolshevik Party members. betray.

In fact, his behavior violated Article 58, paragraph 4, of the Soviet Criminal Code, which stipulates "providing any assistance to the international bourgeoisie", and the circumstances were serious enough to warrant the death penalty! "

This is right! The traitors present thought, in launching war against Germany, didn't Stalin provide huge assistance to the international bourgeoisie? The United States and Britain are the proper international bourgeoisie! And Germany still has some elements of socialism...

"And Stalin framed you!" Olga then said in a sympathetic tone, "You were all elites of the Bolsheviks, fighters of communism, fighting for Stalin and the Bolshevik Party. You fought bravely on the battlefield, There is nothing wrong with being captured due to exhaustion. If such a thing happened in the army of the Russian Empire, you would still be heroes of the country, not traitors of the country.

And you now... I think people of your level all know how Stalin will treat you, your families, and your descendants after the war is over. If I and you returned to the Soviet Union under Stalin's rule and became Stalin's prisoner, I think we would stand on the execution ground and face death together. If there is any difference between us, it is that your families and children still have to pay for the bullets that killed you, and you still have to bear the original sin of your reactionary family background. And I...have no family or children. Since to Stalin, you and I are the same enemies to be shot, then of course we are comrades. "

"We are not good enough to be shot..." A young former political cadre who obviously still had illusions about starting a new life suddenly interrupted.

"No, we are worthy of being shot now!" said Fegulov, the former political commissar of the 16th Mechanized Army, with a trembling voice, "because we are now attending the banquet of Her Majesty the Empress of Russia! What a sin this is! And it is a collective Anyone who participates is considered a group crime according to the Criminal Code and must be shot.”

What? Comrade Li Mei, who was chewing German salted pig's trotters, was stunned again and again. Did he eat an anti-G-life group after eating? Still want to be shot? What country is this Soviet Union?

The young political cadre burst into tears. Although he was only a company instructor, he also knew the policies of the Bolshevik Party. Fegulov was right!

He has now committed the crime of "accompanying the Queen to eat against the G-life group." If he is not shot for such a big crime, is there any justice? If he were allowed to be the judge of the "three-person court" to judge, he would definitely be sentenced to death, and there would be absolutely no possibility of pardon. If this could be pardoned, would there be anyone in the Soviet Union who should be shot? During the Great Purge, so many bad guys were killed. Did any of them have dinner with the Queen or the Tsar?

So if you don’t eat this meal today (actually you haven’t eaten it yet, but it’s a sin if you come), the prisoners in this room (except Li Mei, who is a good person) will only have 25 years of labor reform at most, and maybe they can make it out alive. But since he has eaten this meal, he will definitely be shot, and there is no room for maneuver.

The young political cadre asked Fegulov in a trembling tone, "Comrade political commissar, what should we do? We are going to be shot, what can we do! I am still young, I don't want to die..."

Fegulov sighed, "I wanted to commit suicide when I was caught, but I didn't succeed, and I don't want to die now...so I had to do this."

"what to do?"

"Comrades who don't want to die, just shout with me."

"What to shout?"

"Long live Comrade Queen!"

"Long live Comrade Queen!"

Except for Comrade Li Mei, all the other Soviet prisoners of war in the restaurant shouted together.

Comrade Li Mei was so shocked by the scene before him that he even dropped the delicious pig's trotters. How could there be such ridiculous things in this world? If you just have a meal with the Russian Empress, you will have no way to survive but to become a royalist. This... is this a prisoner of war camp or a lunatic asylum?

"Comrades, don't be fooled!" Comrade Li Mei shouted, "You will die if you follow Olga. Think about it, she doesn't even have an inch of land or an army. She is just an empty-headed queen!"

The Russian Empress looked at Li Mei again, without being angry at all, and then raised her voice, "Comrades, let me tell you some good news. Just this morning, the Russian Empire's army, together with its German allies, came from the Pskov area. Crossed the border, defeated the Red Army defenders, and are now advancing towards Petrograd, the capital of the Russian Empire! Maybe in a few weeks, I will be able to sleep in the Winter Palace!”

General Georg von Küchler, who was responsible for commanding the 18th Army of the German Wehrmacht to advance towards Leningrad, had no intention of occupying Leningrad when he led his troops onto Soviet territory on August 3.

Because no one asked him to do this, and it was not required in the "Blue Plan No. 3". More importantly, his 18th Army did not have enough power to occupy Leningrad, whose household registration value was second only to Moscow.

The Eastern Front Headquarters only gave the First Infantry Corps, the 26th Infantry Corps, the 38th Infantry Corps, the 56th Armored Corps (which governed the 8th Armored Division, the 3rd Motorized Infantry Division and the 290th Infantry Division), the Party The 1st "Adolf Hitler" Motorized Infantry Division of the Guards, the 1st Smoke Launcher Regiment, the 10th Smoke Launcher Regiment, the 11th Smoke Launcher Regiment, the 10th Anti-aircraft Artillery Division and the 3rd French Artillery Division also The Russian Royal Guards, composed of "old white men", totals less than 300,000.

In addition, on the Finnish side north of Leningrad, there are 2 armies of the Finnish army, Southeast and Karelia, with a total of 15 divisions (including 1 German division) and 3 brigades. At the same time, troops from Lake Ladoga and Austria Attack between Lake Niega and the Karelian Isthmus.

After counting the Finnish army, General Kuechler had only more than 500,000 available troops, certainly less than 600,000. Perhaps there are slightly more troops than the Red Army's Northwest Front that defends the area around Leningrad, but if you count the more than two million or more revolutionary masses in Leningrad, Kuchler will use all his energy to It is impossible to defeat Leningrad.

What he wants to do now is just to convince Stalin that the Germans want to capture Leningrad and then turn it back into the Petrograd of the Russian Empire.

However, Major Kurt Meier, the battalion commander of the 1st SS Armored Reconnaissance Battalion (part of the 1st SS "Hitler" Division), and the Russian Royal Guards who formed a battle group with the 1st Armored Reconnaissance Battalion Colonel Makarov, the leader of the Army Cavalry Regiment, had no idea that their mission was just to scare Stalin.

"Ula! Ula! Russian Motherland, we are back!"

"Ula! Ula! We are victorious! Glory belongs to the Queen, victory belongs to Russia!"

The half-track armored command vehicle that Kurt Meier was riding entered the town of Puchore in the Pskov Oblast of the Soviet Union from Voru County, Estonia Province, Baltic State, amidst bursts of cheers.

Puchore is the gateway to the Soviet-German border town of Pskov (where the railway from Moscow to Riga and the railway from Leningrad to Kiev intersect), while Voru is an important border defense town in the Baltic region. Within two months after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Soviet Northwest Front and the German Army Group Northern launched a fierce battle between Puchore and Voru.

The Soviet army once had the upper hand and advanced to the vicinity of Waru Town, the capital of Waru County. However, during the German counterattack that began on August 2, the Soviet army that invaded Voru was repelled by the powerful 56th Armored Corps and the 1st SS Division, and is now retreating towards the city of Pskov. The Russian-German mixed group commanded by Kurt Meier acted as the vanguard of the German army to pursue the Soviet army and entered the territory of the Soviet Union.

This is also the first time that soldiers from the Russian Empire have appeared on Russian soil after more than 20 years!
