Chapter 226

It seems that there are guests here, Andre put down the phone and has a headache, this is another traverser, it would be bad if the kid didn't keep the door open, but the current situation is still okay, and although it is not from an era, but it is a traverser who is a fellow countryman, let go of this problem, the next time is only a few days before the big counteroffensive, and then the internal affairs army will do a good job of secrecy, Andrei picked up the latest report, The listening teams of the Ministry of the Interior and the special services stationed in the various units are now monitoring the situation in all areas to avoid leakage of information.

After carefully checking the documents, there was nothing wrong, Andrei packed up the documents and put them on the desk, and came back to be in charge of the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is not good, the top secret documents have to be cleaned up by themselves, and others can only send them and can't see them, of course, this is out of the need for confidentiality, even if some documents are equipped with secretaries, Andrei can only deal with them himself, after all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs involves a lot of secrets, so the work must be cautious.

After Andrei put the documents in accordance with the number, he sorted them out, knowing that now he had to fully cooperate with the actions of the Red Army, so Yeremenko and Khrushchev could also intervene in the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Andrei also wrote a report on the situation and everything was normal.

It's been an hour unconsciously, Andrei feels tired enough in the office, and it's very uncomfortable to leave the battlefield and come to the second line, stand up, Andrei thinks it's better to look around, so he shouts outside: "Captain Yushchenko." Yushchenko pushed the door open, and Andrei said: "You arrange for someone to send these to the commander and the military commissar, I will go out to have a look, and leave the one on duty, you go with me!"

"Yes." Yushchenko replied simply, after a while, Andrei and Yushchenko took the guard squad on the road for a walk together, now the headquarters is very busy, the road is full of troops, transport vehicles, the upcoming decisive battle makes this place crowded, at this time Andrei found that there was a jeep next to him because it drove directly out of the road It seems to be too fast and the road is slippery, and a general jumped out of the jeep, Andrei looked at the general's face and felt as if he was familiar, But it doesn't seem to be as famous as Zhukov's, and the general sneezed as soon as he got out of the car, and the guard next to him hurriedly came over and handed over the kettle, it seems that the general's body doesn't seem to be very good, the body is not very good, it's you, Andrei finally remembered this friend who was nicknamed Malinovsky by some military fans at this time, Tolbukhin, who fought side by side with Malinovsky in many battles, successively served as deputy chief of staff of the division, chief of staff, and chief of the operations department of the group army headquarters. After the Civil War, he served as chief of staff at the infantry division and corps levels. In September 1937, he became the commander of the infantry division. From July 1938 to August 1941, he served as Chief of Staff of the Transcaucasian Military District. He has a profound command work quality and attaches importance to combat training and troop management.

Now he is the commander of the 57th Army, this is also an excellent commander, but Andrei has a bad impression of him, the reason is very simple, this general did not bind military discipline when he was the commander of the Southern Cluster, so that the Soviet army in Romania and Hungary really did not do anything good, after the Battle of Budapest, due to the huge casualties suffered in the siege of the city, the Soviet Red Army also carried out brutal "retaliation" atrocities against civilians after the city was broken: robbery, beatings, rapes and even deliberate shooting occurred from time to time, In addition, they carried out mass expulsions of foreign missions and persons, and the following is an excerpt from an investigation report drafted on 24 May 1945 by some 60 members of the Swiss consulate in Budapest: "...... During the siege of Budapest and in the tragic days that followed, the Russian army plundered the entire city, breaking into almost every dwelling--- whether the owner was a rich man or a poor man, taking everything they wanted, especially food, clothing and valuables, the shops were looted several times, furniture or large objects similar to works of art that could not be taken were destroyed at will, and in most cases, the houses were burned after being looted...... In general, the plundering of civilians by the Russian army is extremely common, but not always completely "systematic" – for example, a man was robbed of all his pants, but his shirt was left behind. The Russian army even has a special squad for hunting valuables, using magnetic mine detectors and trained military dogs to search for gold, silver and other metals......"

"Banks were also robbed--- even the reserves of British and American property, which were immediately looted if discovered by the Russians. Cash in banks (120 million in commercial banks and 80 million in credit banks) was "confiscated"...... The Russians used their own currency with the word "Red Army" printed on it, but the common people were simply not willing to take it. On the circulating market, 1000 ringos with Russian labels are worth only 800 ordinary rings. The ratio between the Swiss franc and the Hungarian is 60-80 centimes to 100 centimes. The National Bank of Hungary had to re-circulate the 20 decoin banknotes that had been abolished in order to alleviate the crisis of currency shortage in the market......"

"After a few weeks, mass robberies largely stopped, and today the Hungarian police began to take to the streets to maintain public order. But there are still Russian soldiers who intercept pedestrians and snatch items from their pockets, especially watches, cash, and even identity documents......"

In January 1948, Stalin sent people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to raid Zhukov's villa and found a lot of property, most of which he obtained in Germany, including: 70 gold ornaments, 740 silverware, 50 carpets, 60 famous paintings, 3,700 meters of silk, and 320 leather goods. Zhukov's explanation was that he either bought them at his own expense or were given by his subordinates. Zhukov admitted that he had made a mistake and was willing to hand over the property.

Even Zhukov was like this, and how could other Soviet generals not make some money.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, although the combat effectiveness is very strong, but the leaders are like this, the soldiers naturally have to take the opportunity to get something, in line with the principle of having the right not to make the expiration invalid, this kind of thing is naturally inevitable, but then again, it seems that in the European battlefield of World War II, there is no country whose army can fight other countries cleanly, American soldiers also grab souvenirs, and there is a little Yankee who wants women to exchange their military supplies for something most of the time, as for Lao Maozi, it is very direct, I remember that I used to shoot them for serious discipline, after all, I don't care if I don't care about it, it's really a bandit.

And Tolbukhin here didn't know that Andrei looked at his head and turned, and a sharp-eyed staff officer next to him came over and said to Tolbukhin: "Comrade commander, there are people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs over there who have been watching us. ”

Tolbukhin was a little unhappy at once, but he knew that the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not afford to offend themselves, so he did not reply, but said: "Hurry up and move the car out, hurry." ”

And since he met, Andrei decided to go and say hello, so Andrei said to Yushchenko in the back: "Captain Yushchenko, let's go and help." So the group walked over, and when they saw that the leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also a general, although he was only a major general, he was already very large, so Tolbukhin immediately asked kindly: "May I ask the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs what is the matter?" Andrei did not expect Tolbukhin to be so kind, and I remember that Tolbukhin was a very kind man, and even the most humble of all the commanders of the fronts. All his life, he maintained the "habit of staff work," which sometimes manifested itself even more clearly than the style of a commander. He is always able to give full play to the initiative of his subordinates. He had a very serious heart condition, and he was severely overdrawn during the war, and before lying down in a hospital bed, he announced that he needed to rest for a few minutes and would continue to work tomorrow. And the irony is that the garrisons in Southeastern Europe after the war gained a great reputation for their strict military discipline, which means that Tolbukhin was actually able to manage discipline, but he did not do it at that time!

But despite his prejudices against Tolbukhin, why don't you reach out and hit the smiling man? So Andrei said: "General Tolbukhin, we saw your car stuck in and came to help!" "It's not surprising that this general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whom he has never met, can say his name, you must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not what does these things! Soon the jeep was taken out, and Andrei said to Tolbukhin: "General Tolbukhin, you have a bad heart, it is better to rest for a while before getting busy with work!" ”

And Tolbukhin said: "Thank you for your concern, I still have to report the situation first." After saying that, Tolbukhin sneezed again, and Andrei said very uneasily: "It just so happens that I will also go back to the front headquarters, let's go and wait for the commander and military commissar together!" Tolbukhin also accepted the suggestion.

And when they came to the rest of the headquarters, Andrei took off his coat, and Tolbukhin immediately saw the Order of the Gold Star and the Order of the Red Banner on Andrei's chest, and then Tolbukhin's attitude changed, and he suddenly guessed who this young general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was, it was Andrey who guarded the Mamayev post!

Tolbukhin immediately saluted Andrei and said: "Salute to the defenders of Mamayev Heights!" "A true soldier will not respect a spy, but will respect an equally soldier!

And Andrei also put aside his prejudices at this moment, anyway, Tolbukhin is also a soldier who defended the country and said: "General Tolbukhin, don't be so polite, you must know that I am just a junior, you don't have to be like this, we are all so familiar, you can call me Andrei." ”

And Tolbukhin asked: "Andrey, how did you get to the headquarters of the front army from Mamayev Gang?" So Andrei said that he was transferred back to the headquarters because he was personally in battle, and Tolbukhin said: "Andrei, you are really irrational, you must know that a senior commander should have the appearance of a senior commander."

Then Tolbukhin told Andrei about his experience, and Andrei began to record it carefully, these are the experiences of a good general!
