And Stalin was not just eating, he also looked at the newspaper report on Vasily and said: "Very good, very good. The waiter next to him didn't know if he was talking about Vasily or caviar, the best caviar had to be caviar from the Caspian Sea, this was a special provision of the Kremlin, and when Stalin finished eating, Beria came in with a briefcase, to be honest, this spy leader is also at the bottom of his heart at the moment, he is good at figuring out the will, naturally he knows the style of the steel leader, but as Andrei said, there are still great interests in this matter,www.biquge.info For a politician, interests are an important thing, and it is precisely because of the common interests of the United States and Great Britain that they are now aiding the Soviet Union in this way, generally speaking, every struggle between countries is followed by extremely complex political, military, and other reasons, even if it is only two inconspicuous small countries, if you discern them in detail, you will not be able to escape such a law. However, no matter how complicated the political, economic, and military struggles are, they can be roughly summed up in a simple sentence: Everyone actually wants to get cheap.

It would not hurt if there were enough benefits to change the policy, and seeing Beria coming, Stalin picked up his pipe and asked: "Do you have any new plans for the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" ”

Beria handed over the report and said: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, Andrei has reported a bold but very profitable plan against the Eastern battalion. ”

What, when Stalin picked up the report, he frowned directly, you must know that he had given an order at the beginning that there were no prisoners in the Red Army, only traitors to the motherland, and of course everything was not so extreme.

In fact, although Stalin did some unjust policy towards the Red Army prisoners of war and punished many innocent people, he did not punish all prisoners of war indiscriminately. In fact, of the 4199488 Soviet citizens accepted by the Soviet Union in the German occupation zone after the war, (including 2660013 civilians, 1539475 were military) only 46,740 civilians and 226127 servicemen were arrested (only 6% of the total), of whom 148079 were sentenced to exile, and by 1952, 93,446 of these exiles had been released at the end of their sentences.

Of the total 77 captured generals of the Red Army (including 6 lieutenant generals, 71 major generals, 74 from the Army, 2 from the Air Force, and 1 from the Navy), in addition to 26 who died in German prisoner of war camps and 3 were missing, 28 of the remaining 48, including Lukin, Potapov, Muzychenko and others, were reinstated, and the remaining 20 (including Ferasov) were executed on charges of treason, but several of them were later reinstated for the false accusations, including Major General Ponegerin mentioned on the Eastern Front 2, Due to a false report, he was put to death as a traitor.

It can be said that Stalin did not pursue the vast majority of innocent Soviet civilians and prisoners of war who fell into the hands of the German army, and among those who were arrested or even executed, although many of them suffered unjustly due to the mistakes of the censors, many more were scum and traitors who would be punished in any country ("democracies" such as post-war France) Not only that, but for those Red Army soldiers who were brave and unyielding during their captives, Stalin retained their military positions (of course, they could not count on further promotion) and even rewarded them.

Of course, Stalin at this time did not know that he would also revise his policy in the future, but even the revision was aimed at those who were captured for various reasons, and this Eastern battalion was a traitor to the motherland and should be shot!

Moreover, now the prisoners of war who returned to the Soviet-controlled areas were generally censored and then went to the punishment camp to plot against the Eastern Battalion, which made Stalin a little unhappy!

But as a politician, Stalin still picked up the report, and at the same time listened to Beria's report, Beria was also very eloquent, he said: "If we can fight for the Eastern Battalion anyway, then the German army will lose trust in the Eastern Battalion, then the German army will disperse, and they will also lose trust in these traitors to the motherland and even purge these Eastern Battalions." ”

After carefully looking at the pros and cons of the report and the actual situation, Stalin also pondered, the Soviet Union's manpower is now reaching its limit, as the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin knows that the Soviet Union is also going to the limit, and the Soviet armed forces before the war were 5.6 million

From June 22, 1941 to April 30, 1942, the Soviet Union mobilized 15.38 million people to urgently enlist in the army and to perform auxiliary work.

From May 1, 1942 to the present, the Soviet Union has mobilized 5.32 million people, in addition to the criminals in Central Asia, the Far East, and even Siberia, they have been mobilized, and at the same time, in terms of production, in order to supplement the huge consumption of the front, the factories in the rear of the Soviet Union have also been working around the clock, and the workers are burdened with super labor loads. There is even a prison sentence for being late for work. The workers had to work overtime for one to three hours a day, and women, children, and the elderly, as long as they had the slightest ability to work, were driven into all sorts of arsenals, while the internal affairs troops had entered the rear to supervise all the factories.

The Soviet Union was already tapping its potential to the maximum, and in such a large-scale war, China's military law that "soldiers are not more expensive" has been completely subverted, and scale is overpowering, quantity is better than quality, and the importance of resources has far surpassed the quality and ability of a nation. Now the war situation in the whole world is also scorching, let's put it this way, this is like the martial arts duel in Jin Yong's novel, the Western European battlefield is a master who kneels down and begs for mercy as soon as he comes up, the North African battlefield is the two major factions each send two apprentices to fight a little trouble, the Pacific Theater is two masters hard, but compared to chess, China and Japan are two masters who tried their best to fight to the death, it can be said that it is not tragic, but these two are not first-class masters. However, the Soviet-German battlefield is two peerless masters, the Huashan Sword of East Evil and West Poison, and they are all fighting to the death.

Such a situation made Stalin have to consider this plan, so after a while Stalin said to Beria: "This plan can still be implemented in the future, the army side contacted the commander of the Eastern Battalion about the old superiors, you want to talk to Georgi?" Konstantinovich cooperated well, after all, now he is the deputy commander-in-chief! ”

The plan was approved, and Beria also breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately left the Kremlin with the documents and went to Zhukov.

And here in Stalingrad, Andrei sent a team to understand the Vostok Battalion obtained the current commander of the Vostok Battalion, Andrei and Brezhnev listened carefully to the report, this Vostok Battalion is located at the junction of three divisions, responsible for guarding some supplies, next to a battalion of the Italian army, their battalion commander named Gusev was captured in Belarus, he was once a member of the 16th Army...

What, the 16th Army, Andrei is directly about to be blindfolded, he was the chief of the special service section of the 16th Army at the beginning, this is an unexpected "acquaintance"!
