The Polish officer looked at these captured officials, all of whom were small fish and shrimp, and asked calmly: "Who of you knows the residence of the high-ranking officials of the Lithuanian puppet government, and the whistleblower is rewarded." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The Lithuanian civil servants below looked at each other, and no one came forward, all of them were silent.

The Polish officer smiled and said: "Your troops led by General Zukauskas have been completely wiped out, and Germany has given up its support for you, and you are stubbornly resisting?" ”

Looking down like a wooden man; Lithuanian civil servants. The Polish officer said: "Come on, divide them up and interrogate them individually." ”

The Polish officer leaned comfortably in his chair, looked at a very restrained young and handsome Lithuanian civil servant opposite, and asked casually: "What is your name?" ”

"Herbert, Gary Herbert." The young man replied with his head bowed.

The Polish officer asked directly: "Herbert, how are you thinking about it?" As long as you can provide us with useful information, we will definitely not treat you badly. We in Poland need many talents like you to manage this beautiful land. ”

"I can't betray my homeland." The restrained young man whispered as if talking to himself.

"How is this a betrayal? At this time to return to our traditions, Poland and Lithuania united. The Polish officer stood up in surprise and said: "You should know that Lithuania has a population of only one million people, and it is difficult for it to exist independently between Poland and Russia, and it must choose a side." The 5,000 troops led by your General Zukauskas have been completely wiped out by the Soviet troops in Makmelgay, and this is only a small price for your quest for independence, and this is only the beginning.

You should understand that even if we Poland do not do it, you will not be a match for Russia, your government is doomed to failure, and more blood will be shed in vain. ”

"I, I'm ・・・・・・" the young man began to tremble and hesitate, his heart struggling.

The Polish officer propped his hands on the table in front of him, stared at his eyes and said coldly: "There are hundreds of people behind you, I don't care who is willing to cooperate with us, that person will always appear sooner or later." You now have ten seconds to think about it, don't say I didn't give you a chance. ”

As he spoke, he took out his pistol and played with it lightly.

The young Lithuanian civil servant was sweating profusely, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said: "I, I am willing to cooperate with you and tell you everything I know. ”

"Very good, come for a cup of tea." The Polish officer untied the ropes of his hands, patted him on the shoulder, and said cordially.

The young civil servant took a big breath of air, wiped the sweat from his face, drank a cup of tea with a clatter, and regained his composure.

"I have a map of the city of Kaunas in my office, and I can mark the locations of those important officials here." The young civil servant took the initiative to speak.

"Take him over and mark it on the map." said the Polish officer.

The Lithuanian civil servant, who was guarded outside by armed soldiers, watched Herbert freely walk out of the inside and towards his office next to him. It immediately understood that Herbert had already surrendered to the Poles.

"Coward! Coward! ”

"Lackeys of the Poles! Lackeys of the Poles! ”

"Traitor ・・・・・・"

The Lithuanian civil servants who were squatting there gritted their teeth and scolded Herbert one by one. Herbert stole a glance at his former colleagues, and their eyes lit up with hatred. He walked quickly to his old office with his head down, and the Lithuanians on both sides of the corridor pounced on him one by one, beating him with their bound hands.

Herbert didn't dare to resist, so he could only hold his head and walk forward.

The Polish soldiers on both sides did not dare to make a big fuss, so they immediately drew a few butts from those men, and finally forced them back.

The Lithuanians on both sides of the aisle had no choice but to stare at him and spit on him.

The Polish soldiers on both sides were happy to watch a farce, laughing and laughing at each other without stopping it.

Herbert returned to his office, took off his coat, wiped the spit from his face, took out a map of the city of Kaunas, held his beloved pen, and stood there in contemplation for a while. Suddenly lowered his head, wrote and drew frantically on the map, and everywhere was marked.

After persuading Herbert to surrender, the Polish officers continued to persuade the remaining Lithuanian civil servants to surrender. With Herbert's example, the will to resist was greatly weakened. The whole group was directly divided into two extremes, some of them surrendered easily after two sentences of hunger, and some were unwilling to serve the Polish army at all.

The Polish officers watched as a third of the Lithuanian civil servants submitted to the Polish government, and finally the situation in Kaunas was under control.

As the sun rises, the citizens of Kaunas begin to step out of their houses and get ready to work. Roadside vendors open their shops, ready to solicit business.

Everyone was surprised to find groups of soldiers with rifles in their hands, strictly guarding the intersections of various streets.

"What's going on?" The citizens on the street were talking.

"Look at their flag, red and white, it's the flag of Poland." A middle-aged man with glasses said suddenly.

"Hey, sir, what are you doing?" A bold citizen stepped forward and asked.

"Secret mission, disperse and do your business!" The Polish officer said with some nervousness.

The flow of people flowed back and forth as usual through the posts of the Polish army.

In the wealthy area of Kaunas, teams of Polish officials, led by surrendered Lithuanian officials, stormed into houses one after another, and arrested high-ranking officials and parliamentary members of the Lithuanian government.

These obedient Lithuanian civil servants were all very familiar with the environment in Kaunas, and they were very active in leading the Polish army to constantly arrest important members of the government and parliament, and the kind of dedication and selflessness even surprised the Polish officers.

By noon, most of the influential figures in Kaunas were under the control of Polish troops.

General Shimigvi took a list of all the important figures of the Lithuanian government and parliament who had been captured and controlled.

"Why is there no Lithuanian Prime Minister? Where is he now? General Himigvi asked calmly.

"General, Waldmaras went to visit the city's police chief last night, and when we went to arrest them this morning, they had already fled. But they must still be hiding in the city. The Polish officer replied.

"Block the city's traffic to the outside world, and never let him escape. If he is allowed to run to the Paris Peace Conference, it will seriously affect the international reputation of our Poland. General Shimigwe said.

"Yes, sir. However, the supplies inside the city need to be supplied by the surrounding towns and villages, and if we cut off the traffic, the supplies in the city will soon be short and order will be difficult to control. The Polish officer said.

"Then let people from outside in, but you can't let them out. As long as Waldmaras is caught, we are lifting the blockade. General Shimigvi said firmly.

"Yes, sir." (To be continued.) )
