Chapter 70: Interrogation

After two hours, Andrei came to the 54th Army, and as soon as he met Fedyuninsky, he was very hostile to Andrei, especially when he saw that Andrei also had a gold star medal on his chest representing the Hero of the Soviet Union, Fedyuninsky said: "You are Major Yakov, is your medal earned by capturing the enemies of the Soviets?" ”

And seeing Fedyuninsky in front of him, Andrei remembered in his mind his resume in the Soviet-German war, successively as commander of the infantry corps, commander of the 32nd Army, commander of the 42nd Army, commander of the Leningrad Front, commander of the 54th Army and commander of the 5th Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In January, he was appointed deputy commander of the Volkhov Front. In May 1943 he was appointed deputy commander of the Bryansk Front, in July he was appointed commander of the 11th Army, and in December until the end of the war he was commander of the 2nd Assault Army. He was an experienced and courageous military chief.

In the Western Front, the Leningrad Front, the Volkhov Front, the Bryansk Front, the 2nd Baltic Front, the Belorussian Front, and the 2nd Belorussian Front, the command post took part in the Leningrad campaign and the breakthrough of the Leningrad blockade, the Tikhvin defensive and offensive campaigns, the Rzhev-Sychovka campaign, the Kursk campaign, the battles of Bryansk, Gomel-Lechtsa, Red Sero-Ropsha, Narva, Tallinn, East Prussia, East Pomerania, Berlin. It can be said that he also made great achievements, and he was awarded the honorable title of Hero of the Soviet Union for his outstanding performance in the Nomenkan conflict.

And seeing that the commanders and fighters next to him were also looking at him with a hostile face, Andrei also found that he had to lower his posture first, after all, Fedyuninsky in front of him was Zhukov's cronies, and he was also a general in an important position, so Andrei immediately said calmly: "General Fedyuninsky, my honor of Hero of the Soviet Union was won on the front line during the defense of Moscow, and you are also the recipient, you should know that the glory of the Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of the Golden Star will not be awarded easily." ”

Fedyuninsky heard Andrei's words and thought about it, it is true that the Hero of the Soviet Union is not a simple glory, according to the Regulations on the Title of Hero of the Soviet Union promulgated in 1936, a person can only receive the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" once. In the event of a second meritorious service, a second Golden Star is awarded, but the Order of Lenin is no longer awarded. Gold Star Medals can be earned up to three times. For those who received the second Gold Star Medal, the government built a bronze bust in their hometown. It can be said that the Hero of the Soviet Union is the highest honor of the Soviets, and the "Golden Star Medal" is worn on the left chest, and the position is always higher than other medals and medals. So then Fedyuninsky's tone softened a little, but he still said sternly: "Since you are also a person who has been on the battlefield, you should know what you are doing now, right?" ”

Andrei said: "Comrade General, I also carried out the order to review the Vlasov elements in the army. Especially the former commander of the 2nd Assault Army. ”

"Censorship?!" Fedyuninsky repeated the word, and then said in a heavy tone: "Comrade Major, I feel it necessary for me to remind you that these commanders, who have gone through a great deal of hardship to break out of the encirclement of the Germans, not only have rich combat experience, but also have unlimited loyalty to the Soviet Motherland, and they are the precious wealth of our Red Army. But look at you, what are you doing? You are brazenly insulting these elites of the Red Army, who did not die on the battlefield against the Germans, but were suspected by their own people. You know what, you're committing a crime. ”

And as soon as Andrei listened to Fedyuninsky's words, he understood that it was indeed a person who had undergone the Great Purge, and his impression of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also bad to the bone, after all, there were too many executions and tortures.

At this time, a voice also came from the side, "That's it, this person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really too much, they only stayed in the 2nd Shock Army." I haven't seen what General Vlasov is like at all, how did he become a Vlasovite? ”

"That's right, that's right," the onlookers next to him came from time to time, and Colonel Ivanov, who had been defending his subordinates just now, also came to Andrei and said: "Major Yakov, if you want to investigate, I have no objection, I hope you can investigate right here, and everyone in our division will cooperate." ”

Seeing these people in front of him, Andrei suddenly felt a little weak, as if the villain had met a decent person, in fact, the Cheka at the beginning was not like this,

It was originally created by Dzerzhinsky at the behest of Lenin. To be sure, Lenin himself, when he led the October Revolution, did not think of the establishment of such an organization in the Soviet state apparatus. This is clear from a reading of his book The State and Revolution, which he wrote in the run-up to the October Revolution. It is a pity that after Lenin and his comrades-in-arms seized power, many things did not develop as he had originally envisioned. The first is that the revolution did not spread and triumph throughout the world, at least in the major capitalist countries, as dominoes did; Even in China, it has not received the effect of raising the rod and responding to all calls. On the contrary, the proletarian regime is confronted with the reality that imperialism and the domestic bourgeoisie are colluding and making no secret of their hideous face in an attempt to strangle the newborn baby of the first red regime in its cradle. in the face of imperialist armed intervention and subversion; In the face of bourgeois revolts, sabotage, sabotage and heinous assassinations, Lenin pointed out that "urgent measures must be taken to fight against hostile elements and sabotage." ”

On 20 July, the Council of People's Commissars under the leadership of Lenin passed a resolution establishing the All-Russian Extraordinary Committee of the Council of People's Commissars for the Elimination of the Opposition and Sabotage, of which Dzerzhinsky was appointed.

Anyone who has seen the film "Lenin in 1918" may remember the scene when the ballet "Swan Lake" was being performed, two "Cheka" functionaries walked up to the stage, they gestured to the beautiful "swans" to rest for a while, and then announced two things to the audience: the first was to inform the people that the Soviet regime was ready to execute Tsar Nicholas II, and to invite the audience to express their opinions. In the midst of the noise, several sailors who were chewing something in their mouths shouted: "This question is clear, let's talk about the next one." The "Cheka" on the stage took over and said: "Someone said, this question is clear, then this matter is passed." The next thing is to ask everyone not to leave after the performance, and to check the documents. The Cheka was gone, the beautiful music sounded again in the Bolshoi Theatre, and the blue autumn water of Swan Lake was reflected in the canopy, but the Tsar's family was summarily sentenced.

Since that year, about 250,000 people have been wiped out by the "Cheka" in this way. They were driven out of the stage of history as a class.

However, it would be a mistake to think that Dzerzhinsky, who had won the power to execute the Cheka for the "enemies of the people" during his tenure as chairman of the anti-rebellion committee, and that he had executed tens of thousands of enemies of all kinds. A large number of historical facts prove that Dzerzhinsky's character was not in harmony with the position he held. In his daily life, including at work, he is as warm as spring to people. Around 1918, Dzerzhinsky commanded the "Cheka" to destroy the enemy, and at the same time, he also adopted and resettled millions of orphans who were wandering on the streets whose parents had died in war or starvation. He recounted the process in a conversation with his friend Anatoly Vasily. Dzerzhinsky said: "I would like to devote part of my personal energy, but primarily part of the energy of the All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Counter-Terrorism, to the eradication of children living on the streets. I came to this conclusion for two reasons. First, this is a great misfortune! You know, when you see children, you can't help but think that everything was meant for them! The fruits of the revolution do not belong to us, but to them! Yet how many children are suffering from struggle and poverty. Just as we see children who are drowning, we need to immediately go and rescue them, and only the People's Commissariat of Education is incompetent. The aid of the whole of Soviet society was needed. A ...... needs to be created under the All-Russian Central Executive Committee A broad committee, preferably from all departments and organizations that would be helpful in this matter, should be involved in such a committee. I have already spoken to a number of people that I would like to chair this committee myself. I want the organs of the All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Anti-Counterterrorism to really take part in this work...

At the beginning, the Cheka was a real red sword, and the task was to rescue a large number of orphans in addition to suppressing the opposition, although the Cheka at that time also had a lot of blood on his hands, but at least the image of the society was positive, but now the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already the embodiment of the devil. Andrei was also helpless, so after thinking about it, he decided to say something, and at this time, someone ran over.
