"The idea of an uprising and reorganization may not be fully approved, and I hope that the senior officers and officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are unwilling to go with us will arrange a more decent ending for them - such as a flight to Moscow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 "There won't be too many people, one or twenty. ”

"This plane was sent to you by Stalin, right?"

"Yes, there's nothing to hide, but I don't want to go, I can't let go of these poor soldiers." Leitel pointed at Suseikov, "He doesn't want to go either, he sees through it!" ”

"To tell you the truth, I really want to disarm and return to the field, but then the Germans probably won't let me go." Susekov said helplessly, "I don't want to go back and jump into the fire pit, I will definitely be killed by Stalin as a scapegoat for the defeat of the battle, and I will not be able to save my family." ”

"You'd be wise to think so." "When will you meet to make an announcement?" Vlasov said. Do you need me to send someone reliable to help you? ”

Leutel shook his head: "If I can't even do this, what do the Germans think of us?" At five o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting began on time, and all officers at and above the brigade level participated. ”

At 5 o'clock, the remnants of the officers of the Bryansk Front rushed in, many of them bearded and disheveled, others with blood stains on their clothes, and faint wounds on their arms or thighs. Everyone looked sad and depressed, even the officers of the Guards Tank Brigade who had always been arrogant looked at the past with empty faces, not knowing what they were thinking.

But everyone's eyes were quickly drawn to the center of the table, where two full baskets of baked white bread and pork sausages, and even a few bottles of vodka, the yellow and clear exuded an enticing aroma. Everyone couldn't help but salute, and they didn't want to take their eyes off for a long time, even when they looked down to find their seats, their eyes were still fixed on these things. The venue soon resounded with the sound of swallowing saliva one after another, and many people's stomachs made a "cooing" sound without fighting. If it weren't for the fact that they were not concerned about their own identities and the commanders and political commissars of the front army were sitting in the meeting hall without squinting, many people might not be able to help but stretch out their hands.

"We have convened a military meeting today to discuss the next steps, and we are running out of supplies...... The reinforcements have not come for a long time, the encirclement of the German army is getting tighter and tighter, and I judge that the enemy's general attack ......" Speaking of this, Leutel suddenly slapped his head, "I almost forgot, everyone hasn't eaten yet, hurry up and eat something first." ”

All of a sudden, without waiting for the guards next to them to make a move, dozens of officers had already divided their things automatically, but the people with low rank and official rank were very well-behaved, taking only white bread and sausages, and not touching the wine bottles -- judging from the quantity, it was for the heads of the group army commanders to enjoy.

"Division...... Comrade Commander. A tank corps commander asked in a muffled voice while chewing hard, "There is a ...... today Got a supply plane coming in? ”

"No...... An old friend came to see me, so I wanted to share it with you. Leitel smiled slightly, swallowed half of the sausage, and said, "I wasn't nibbling on black bread like you two days ago, which of you saw me eat more than I wanted?" ”

Under the influence and restraint of this exemplary force, the officers below did not dare to mess around, otherwise, the senior officers at the division and brigade level would not be able to get anything? This is also the most crucial reason why Kononov observed that the city of Tambov has so far been stable and free of commotion.

"Friends?" Everyone was stunned, who would come to Tambov at this time? The reactive ones are already thinking wildly, and the unresponsive ones are still munching.

"Please come up and meet everyone, maybe many people still know each other." Leytel clapped his hands, and Vlasov and Kononov came out of the small room in the back.

"Vlasov!" Several people immediately screamed.

More people are inexplicable, and they are still asking around.

"Who? Who's that? ”

"Stupid, who else, Vlasov, the head of the Russian Liberation Army."

"Ah, the puppet army leader ......"

Several people hurriedly stood up and tried to pull out their guns, but suddenly came to their senses and handed them over to the headquarters guards before the meeting, and some people remembered shouting: "Guards, guards." ”

Outside, a large group of guards with Bobosha in their hands rushed in, but looking at the muzzle of the gun, it was clearly pointed at the people in the venue.

With a "click", the commanders of the two army groups couldn't hold their vodka glasses and fell down, and their hands trembled violently.

"It seems that there are still people who know me, so that's fine, no need to bother to introduce me. I am Vlasov, the current commander-in-chief of the Russian People's Liberation Army and chairman of the Russian National Front. ”

Vlasov spoke freely for more than half an hour, many people were stunned, wandering out of the world, completely at a loss, the meeting site was at an impasse, and in front of the muzzle of the black hole, everyone sat in a proper and honest manner.

"I deeply agree with Chairman Vlasov's opinion, it is enough for me to sell Stalin to this day, and I am completely worthy of the party! Worthy of the Russian people! Leityr glanced at everyone majestically, "In order to save the lives and future of the more than 100,000 remaining officers and soldiers of our front army, and to seek the longer-term interests of the Russian people, Comrade Susekov and I have decided to take the road of the pre-battle uprising, I don't know if you agree?" ”

No one said "I don't agree" - the custodian would be sieveed by the muzzle of the black hole.

Several people immediately burst into tears: "Commander! Commander! Our wife and children are still in Moscow......"

"Idiot!" Susekov scolded, "You think you can hide as a prisoner? Don't know about Order 270? ”

Everyone was silent at the mention of "Order No. 270", according to which the families of all the captured personnel were basically put into Siberia for labor reform -- the Red Army should not be taken prisoner as long as it was martyred!

"I don't want to embarrass you, and all those who are here today who don't want to take this road will report to Comrade Susekov after the meeting, and I will arrange for a plane to take you back to Moscow -- that Stalin told me to run for my life." Leitel looked at everyone else, "Whoever chooses to stay, please work hard, we will fight for the fate of New Russia in the future!" ”

"Comrade Commander, Comrade Chairman, let's do it with you, Lao Tzu has long looked at Stalin unpleasantly! This is not a war, this is sending death in vain! As soon as he finished speaking, several people immediately jumped out to express their allegiance, and Vlasov smiled slightly, this is the basic plate of Leutel!

As a matter of fact, there are not many people in the entire front army who explicitly agree with it, and there are very few people who explicitly oppose it, and the majority of the people still have a wait-and-see and neutral attitude, and the most important thing is to push them and create a suitable atmosphere.

Three days later, the 160,000 troops of the Bryansk Front laid down their arms and rebelled, except for more than 10 officers who left by plane, the rest of the officers and soldiers remained, including almost all the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and party affairs, who knew very well that once the news of the surrender of the Bryansk Front spread, those generals in charge of the army might still have a chance to survive in death, and they would definitely die as personnel in charge of internal control and management.

"Führer, good news, good news." Zeitzler walked in laughing, "The remaining 160,000 troops of the Bryansk Front have laid down their arms and surrendered, and our troops will solve the Tambov encirclement without bloodshed." ”

"Excellent! Vlasov did not disappoint me. ”

"You value this Vlasov?"

"You look down on him?" Hoffman shook his head, "Don't underestimate him, his level of fighting is not bad, if he leads the same sophisticated troops and equipment as ours, his performance is no worse than the level of any of our army commanders." Moreover, he succeeded in convincing the commander of one of the fronts to submit to obedience, and this political influence and impact was completely unparalleled, and Stalin was expected to go crazy with anger when he heard the news, while the other commanders and generals had an example and would have made it easier for them to do their work in the future. ”

"But what will happen in the future?" Keitel interjected, "Is the new Lejter, who has a higher rank and seniority, under Vlasov?" ”

Today Hoffman was in a very good mood and decided to give a political lesson to the two chiefs of the General Staff: "The meaning of this matter should not be viewed in isolation, but it seems to me that it has far-reaching implications in at least three aspects:

The first was the ideological shock to the entire Bolshevik system;

The second is a profound test for the Russian Liberation Army, now this group of people is pulled up by Vlasov, and with the expansion of the sphere of influence in the future, we will control it, and Leytel is obviously a good counterbalance

Thirdly, it was also a major test for Vlasov himself, who, now, it seems, is doing quite well. ”

"Test?" Zeitzler was inexplicable, "Are you afraid that Leitel was deceived at the beginning?" ”

"That's just one aspect. If Vlasov had been a mere man who was greedy for life and death, and who was vying for power, he would not have persuaded Leitel, but would have tried in every possible way to sabotage this arrangement, because the latter was more prestigious and more prestigious than him, you know, Leitel was a colonel in the Tsarist era, and his seniority in the Red Army was equivalent to that of Marshal Rundstedt in our place...... If he joins, he will shock Vlasov's position. "But Vlasov did not do this, but did everything possible to facilitate this engagement, which shows that he was a man with lofty ideals and goals -- and this is what a leader would like." ”

Zeitzler nodded his head in understanding, with a politically complicated expression - I don't know if it was real or pretended, but Keitel acted thoughtfully: why did the Führer compare Marshal Rundstead on such an occasion? Is this just a casual analogy or a hint? (To be continued.) )
