Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childly Infatuation [Act V] Judgment (27)

Schulenburg realized that Eric was sending himself away quickly, trying to get in touch with Wilkes, but he didn't want others to witness the brotherhood. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Andrew glanced at the book and smiled faintly: "Why bother? I also have this Cambridge version of Chinese literature in my residence in Berlin, and I will borrow it from you when I return to China. In addition, at present, the remnants of the Polish army are trying in vain to break through, and Wilkes and others have rushed to Kutno early yesterday morning. So, Walter, you will never cause a lawsuit and lose your precious lawyer's license because of the unauthorized transfer of military personnel, right? ”

These words hit the nail on the head, coupled with a tough tone that could not be refused, and Schülenburg was in a dilemma: although the two aristocratic brothers were both imperial warriors and held important positions, they had long been incompatible due to many contradictions. In other words, showing favor to one side will inevitably offend the other side completely, resulting in a major taboo in intelligence work, and an extremely adverse impact on the future career. He glanced at Eric and Andrew, then turned his attention to one of the poems in the book.

"Theregrowsthegardenpeach......" Schulenburg was deeply moved after just skimming the first paragraph. Filled with ambition and ostracized, aggrieved and unknown to others, he had to lick* his wounds in the corner alone to relieve his depression - how similar is this unknown author to himself? No, not only myself, but now Dr. Zanke, Dr. Melchen, and Dr. Best of the Security Bureau...... Couldn't these outstanding talents end up in such a situation!? He sighed and subconsciously clenched the yellowed pages.

Eric didn't pay attention to Schulenburg's changing expression, but sighed for the word "remnant", and secretly sighed that in just three days, the battle situation had evolved to this point. Yes, since he woke up, how much military intelligence has been gathered here without interruption with the many officers who came to visit.

On the evening of 17 September, Soviet Russia officially dispatched the 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 11th armies of the Belarusian Front (General Kovalev) and the 5th, 6th, and 12th armies of the Ukrainian Front (General Timoshenko) to eastern Poland. For this reason, Soviet Russia actually made a statement: since the Polish government is now unable to fulfill its duties, the east is naturally terra nullius.

Obviously, this diplomatic rhetoric could not hide Stalin's true intentions. This was not only to recover the region of Western Ukraine lost after World War I due to the Peace of Brest-Litovsk, but also to establish a buffer or forward position for the future Soviet-German military conflict. Therefore, this move was defined by many Soviet Russians and Pravda as a "great liberation expedition".

As a result, under the flanking attack of Soviet Russia, the "second stage" plan previously formulated by the German army proceeded very smoothly: in the face of the fierce offensive of the "Poznan Army" led by Major General Kuterzeba, the German Eighth Army held the blockade line on the banks of the Buzura River. At the end of the battle on 18 September, the Germans captured about 170,000 prisoners of war, completely blocking the army's attempt to make contact with Warsaw and even join forces. By the afternoon of 19 September, that is, yesterday afternoon, the German and Soviet troops had joined forces at Brest-Litovsk and drove almost all the Polish troops into a pincer encirclement, making it difficult for them to fly.
