"What?" Mehris looked at the unbleached piece of paper with the message written on it in his hand and said angrily: "Which saboteur caused me to be dismissed?" ”

"Comrade Mehris," Chernov, a staff officer of the Front, said, glancing at the first paragraph of the telegram, "this is an order from Comrade Stalin, please accept the reality and follow Comrade Stalin's decision." ”

After hearing this, Mehris became even more manic. "Bang!" With a thud, Mehris slammed the wooden table beside him, making a thin crack. "Did you betray me! Did you speak ill of me to Comrade Stalin? Caused me to be fired? ”

Hearing this, Chernov immediately explained: "No, Comrade Mekhris, I have absolutely not betrayed you. ”

Ever since Mehris was transferred to the Western Front, he has been using his authority to prop up his own forces and promote his cronies in the Front and various army groups.

This Chernov was originally just a guard beside Mehris, but because Mehris had a good impression of him and won Mehris's trust, he was soon arranged by his "master" to work in the General Staff of the Front, and he immediately received the rank of major.

"Then why was I fired?" Mehris asked.

"How do I know?" Chernov paused for a moment and said: "This is the decision of Comrade Stalin, maybe he will move you to a better position." ”

"Better location? And what better position could be than the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense? Mehris clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "I have contributed so much to the army, why did Comrade Stalin do this to me?" Who is harming me at this time? ”

Mehris's nagging, attracted the attention of others. The commander of the Western Front, Timoshenko, the chief of staff, Klimovsky, and others, heard the conversation between Mehris and Chernov.

"I didn't expect him to be today!" The Chief of Staff of the Western Front, Lieutenant General Klimovsky, smiled happily and, softly, next to Timoshenko's ear, said: "It seems that we have one less trouble." ”

Marshal Timoshenko walked a few steps away, trying to get out of Mehris's hearing range, and only then softly, said to Sokolovsky: "Do you know who the new military commissar is? ”

One of the officers in the know said bluntly: "It seems to be Comrade Bulganin, who is now the head of the National Bank, and I wonder if he will treat our soldiers like money in the bank when he comes here." ”

"This comrade, please don't talk nonsense," Klimovsky said softly, to the young officer who was talking nonsense: "Before the start of the war, Comrade Bulganin worked in the defense committee of the Central Committee and had a certain understanding of defense affairs, so please believe in the competence of the new military commissar." ”

"I'm sorry, Comrade Chief of Staff," the young officer bowed his head to Klimovsky, "just now, I was just joking. ”

"You can't make this kind of joke!" Timoshenko solemnly issued a warning, "You are still young, I will not punish you this time, and in the future, if I hear you speak ill of other comrades again, I will make you suffer serious consequences for your actions." ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, the young officer's heart is not a taste at all. Why can you speak ill of Mehris and I can't speak of Bulganin?

"Hey! Hitler! A major walked up to the commander of the 2nd German Panzer Group, General Guderian, gave him a German salute and shouted the most common slogans of the fascists.

Guderian was not a fanatical fascist, he just responded with a faint military salute and said: "What's the matter?" ”

The major stood straight in front of Guderian and reported the current situation: "Report to the sir, now that the left and right sides of our army are under attack by Soviet troops, should we slow down the march and wait for the other army groups to make progress before advancing?" ”

Guderian put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked nonchalantly at the scenery around him, "I don't feel the need for us to pause. ”

"But," the major's expression became even more nervous as he saw Guderian's nonchalant appearance, "and now that the left and right flanks of our 2nd Panzer Group are under heavy attack from the enemy, if we march any further, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"I'm afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid...... We will be outflanked by the Soviets. They may divide our forces and then encircle our main forces. The major paused and said excitedly: "In this case, our army will be in a very difficult situation, and will even be wiped out by them." ”

Seeing the Major's excited, pessimistic expression about the war, Goodry felt displeased, "What elimination?" What difficulty? When have the units of our Wehrmacht been wiped out? When have you faced difficulties?

In the dictionary of our German soldiers, there can be no word for 'failure', let alone the word 'difficulty'! No matter how difficult the battle is, we will survive it, and no matter how stubborn the enemy is, we will completely destroy it! ”

Guderian, in addition to fighting, is most proficient in bragging. Before the start of every battle, he would always blow his troops more than the heavenly soldiers, and reduce the enemy to worthlessness. What words like "complete destruction of the enemy", "taking Moscow in three months" have already appeared many times in his mouth.

The people around Guderian have heard these words countless times, but every time they listen to them, not only will they not feel bored, but they will also feel encouraged and excited!

Because Guderian's bragging is exactly the inner desire of every soldier in Germany. They hoped that the war would end as soon as possible and that the Germans would win the final victory.

Perhaps this war could end as soon as possible because of the appearance of Manturov, so that the Germans could get rid of the suffering of the war, but the appearance of Manturov also stifled the chances of victory for the German army.

The war, both in history as we know it well, and in this parallel world, would have ended with the victory of the Soviet Red Army and the Allies, and the desire of the German officers for victory could not have been realized. In front of the strengthened Soviet Red Army, their way out was nothing but death, and that was surrender.
