Soviet-Finnish border, Manila village.

Manila is a small village with a population of just over 1,000 people, but because of its special geographical location on the border between the Soviet Union and Finland, the Soviet Red Army stationed a border infantry company here to guard against the Finnish threat.

So this small village is very crowded, but it doesn't look very deserted.

However, today is a special case, there are no Soviet soldiers loitering on the streets, and the doors of every house are closed, if it were not for the fact that there are a few people standing on the Soviet sentry not far from the village, as always, I am afraid that many people will think that this is a terror.

But the anomaly of the situation now suggests that it is certainly not simple.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded over the village, and when a group of people in the Soviet barracks heard this sound, their faces that could already be said to be pale could not help but become a little more "white".

Soon, the shrill whistle revealed its true colors.

It's just that no one wants to see it in general.

"Boom! Rumble! "Violent explosions reverberated in the village.

The shelling lasted for more than three minutes, and hundreds of large-caliber howitzers rained down on this piece of land, which was less than one square kilometer, and the dramatic movements could be heard clearly even from a distance of more than a dozen kilometers.

After the shelling, the small barracks was razed to the ground, along with the nearby village of Manila, and the beautiful village was completely gone, replaced by a scorched earth and something that could be vaguely discernible as fragments of buildings.

As for the people inside, I don't think there is much to say.

Ten minutes after the shelling, the first rescuers arrived at the small village at a frightening speed, and before the truck with a red cross on a white background could stop, they jumped out of the car in a hurry, rushed to the village and the barracks that had turned to ashes, began to clear the rubble, and then carried out the twisted corpses from inside.

It's just that there is a hint of impatience in their figures.

The rescuers were accompanied by dozens of journalists from major Soviet newspapers, holding cameras that "clicked" the shattered corpses, the village that could no longer be called a "village" and the barracks next to it, which could not be called a "barracks".

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, these extremely bloody photos were accompanied by the caption "The Finnish army suddenly shelled our border villages and outposts this morning, killing more than 100 of our troops and hundreds of civilians!" Such words were published in newspapers all over the Soviet Union.

The sudden bad news shocked almost all the Soviet people, who never imagined that their compatriots would be slaughtered by the enemy in broad daylight with such cruel means when the Motherland was so strong.

The shock soon turned into anger, with large numbers of young students waving makeshift banners in the streets to protest against the inhumane acts of the Finnish government and army, while in Leningrad, Moscow and other cities with Finnish embassies, angry crowds surrounded the Finnish embassy and vented their anger with stones and even Molotov cocktails.

With such a fierce and rapid reaction from the population, how slow could the Soviet government go?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the angry voice of Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov appeared everywhere in the Soviet Union through the Soviet State Radio.

He first briefed all the Soviets listening to the radio on the radio, and then began to angrily accuse Finland, and deliberately referred to the "friendly talks" held by the Soviet Union and Finland in Moscow two days ago, saying that Finland's shelling was a retaliatory action for the breakdown of the negotiations, and angrily accusing Finland of being a country composed of a pack of greedy wolves that constantly oppressed the "honest and kind" Soviet Union.

In the end, Molotov proposed a tentative compensation package "after urgent high-level consultations in the Soviet Union", which demanded that the Finnish side pay 100 million rupees (about 140 million US dollars or 120 tons of gold) in gold and withdraw all troops on the Soviet-Finnish border 20 kilometers.

When the Soviet Union received this demand for compensation, the Finnish side did not even understand what had happened, and some officials stationed in the Soviet Union were inexplicably stoned all over the place, and it was not until 4 o'clock in the afternoon that the Finnish government figured out what had happened -- a border barracks of the Soviet Union was blown up into the sky along with a small village next to it, and the Soviet Union did not know why it was the Finnish border artillery unit that did it, although the Soviet Union itself knew very well that Finland had not deployed artillery in that area at all.

So to put it simply.

They were touched by the USSR.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Finland was quick to give its own response.

Compared to Molotov's tirade, Finland's response was much simpler, with only one sentence: "idiootti, is?" minulla ei ole aikaa leikki? (Stupid, I don't have time to play with you.) ）”

Naturally, the Soviets were furious, and the populace attacked everything related to Finland even more vigorously (I heard that a shop selling Finnish flags sold all its stock in an instant, and that it also made a fortune with a nearby shop selling lighters and matches).

The Soviet government, on the other hand, organized a team of professional trolls to wage an all-round war of insults against Finland internationally, bringing a touch of joy to the European continent, which was extremely depressed by the war.

But soon all parties stopped laughing, and the intelligence organizations of various countries sent back a telegram with similar contents.

"The Soviet side is moving troops on a large scale, and the number of Soviet troops on the Soviet-Finnish border has exceeded 300,000, and about one tank corps, four tank brigades, armored units totaling about 1,000 tanks, and more than 800 aircraft are gathering on the border!"

All countries panicked when they heard the news, and it would be no good for anyone for the Soviet Union to fight Finland again in the chaos of Western Europe.

Everyone hurriedly changed their attitude of watching the show, and sent people to the two countries to persuade them to fight, so that both sides could calm down, and even Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, which had fought so badly, stood together in a rare way, threatening and luring the Soviet Union.

But Maozi would not be called a fighting nation if he ate the set of countries, they listened carefully to the persuasions of various countries, and according to everyone's requirements, carefully analyzed the various possibilities after the outbreak of the war, and then came to a conclusion - beat the Finnish fuck!

"In the face of the Soviet Red Army, even the winter black bears had to concede three points, and I don't believe that the Finns could be more difficult to deal with than the winter black bears? The Finns must pay for their stupid words and deeds! Stalin said.
