"You ask me if I love Tito?

This is a superficial question. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone admires Tito,

Whether Chinese or Spanish, Indian or black,

And all the children on our planet......

Close my eyes and I can see him.

If anyone asks me who I love the most,

I would say I love Tito more than I love my mom and dad. - A poem by the ten-year-old boy Zuolan in the film Tito and Me.

As a powder keg in Europe, the Yugoslav question was not only concerned by the Soviet Union, but also by the Western world. Yugoslavia during the war became a place where different ideologies and political views clashed and cooperated, and the Soviet Union could not take it lightly, even though there were Tito and his communist guerrillas.

Some time ago, the two teams of liaison officers were not only liaison officers, but also had to report to Moscow first-hand information on the situation in Yugoslavia -- not only the military situation, but also the activities and influence of Western forces in Yugoslavia.

Political struggle is very delicate, especially in this state of war -- guerrilla warfare that is precarious!

At the beginning of this year, the Yugoslav partisan command and the 1st Proletarian Brigade advanced into Bosnia and Croatia. And there, the Ustasha of the Kingdom of Croatia (from the Serbian word for "rioters", a fascist organization advocating the independence of Croatia) slaughtered ****** and Orthodox Christians, and almost every village through which the guerrillas passed had been reduced to a scorched earth and looted by the Ustashas!

In the face of the vicious Ustashas, the guerrillas pursued and attacked them, and they were executed if they were caught! Had it not been for Tito's inadmissibility of torture, the partisans would have given the fascist Ustasha elements a taste of the torture that has been circulating in the Balkans for thousands of years!

But despite the danger of the Ustashas, the horrors of the Ustasha were beneficial to the resistance to the German-Italian fascists: in the Bosnian and Croatian countryside, thousands of people fled their homes to join the partisans.

The enthusiasm of the people was so high that it was difficult for the inhabitants of the partisan-occupied areas to avoid joining or to remain neutral - whoever did not side with the movement would be seen as opposing it!

At this time, the Germans were determined to cut down the roots, and a total of 35,000 troops from Germany, Italy, and Ustasha launched an encirclement and suppression of Sinia and Croatia.

The guerrillas learned the lesson of the first anti-"encirclement and suppression" and no longer engaged in a head-on duel, but adopted a strategic shift to avoid the enemy's main attack. In the bitter cold, they bypassed the outskirts of Sarajevo and climbed over the snow-capped mountains of Igman, where more than 150 partisans were left with frostbite alone.

The Yugoslav partisans were in the same trouble as the Red Army partisans in the Everglades, they were short of supplies, but fortunately they had the medicines that were airdropped with the Soviet liaison officers last time, otherwise those frostbitten comrades would have tasted the taste of amputation without anesthetic!

The guerrillas hoped to receive some air support from the Soviet Union again, and the first telegram was a briefing after the "victory transfer" plus a request for help, which was sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.

The second telegram in Lin Jun's hand was in a different cipher, and it was sent directly by the liaison officer, reporting the actual situation of the Yugoslav partisans -- it is estimated that Stalin was making a big fuss about the commander-in-chief of the Yugoslav partisans!

Maybe it's not enough to say that you are angry, but if you are dissatisfied or have some opinions, it is certain.

Gusev came in and asked Lin Jun what time he wanted Chinese food, where was it?

Lin Jun looked at his Kiev-made watch and stopped.

"What time is it?"

"Two minutes and one o'clock in the afternoon." Gusev replied directly without looking at his watch, it seems that he had just looked at the time. The army uses the "24-hour clock", but it is difficult to hear the word "13 o'clock" from the Russian population - Lin Jun does not like this number either, but for different reasons than Gusev.

If anyone reported that time, most people would be unhappy, but Lin Jun would relax and find it funny.

"Later." It's not in Moscow, you don't need to eat a meal, and you have something to eat, and the cafeteria knows that you are good at serving.

Lin Jun took off his watch and knocked on it, but it didn't seem to move, and it wasn't that the clockwork was loose, so he put the watch on the desk and continued to look at the map.

Gusev walked to the door and said a few words to the soldiers standing guard. After a while, Landskoch, dressed in Cossack attire, hurried to the door of the deputy commander-in-chief's office.

As soon as he saw Landskozy, Gusev asked in a low voice: "Brought it?" ”

"I picked a few, and the logistics department was almost piled up in the morning!" The deputy commander of the guard with the rank of lieutenant colonel turned out to be mysterious, holding a cardboard box of candy in his hand, "Do you say that the marshal will be unhappy?" ”

"Probably not."

The two seemed to have made a decision, knocked on the door and walked in.

As soon as Lin Jun looked up and saw the two attachés coming in together, he didn't ask, just a look-what's the matter?

"Marshal, seeing that your watch is broken, we went to the logistics department to ask for one." Landscoch stepped forward and put the box in front of Lin Jun, adding, "We're all gone." ”

"You guys?" Lin Jun said as he opened the box—this "we" obviously meant that all the personal attachés and guards were included: Vostov, Aleksandrov, Leonov, and Alyosha.

Suddenly, it was bright under the not-so-bright lights! Inside the box are more than a dozen watches of all kinds, obviously all of them are high-end, and there are even nouveau riche gold watches!

Poured the box down the table and rattled for a while.

"Landscot, call them all." Lin Jun didn't raise his head and looked at the pile of watches and said.

Now the Cossack glanced at Gusev, and his eyes were saying: "Bad idea, bad luck!" ”

Soon, a few people arrived—a few brothers had already formed a united front outside, and even Vostov and Aleksandrov, who were not actually involved, could only hug everyone: if you are unlucky, no one will want to run away!

The sharp-eyed Landscoch seemed to not squint as soon as he entered the office to report, but in fact, his eyes had long been paying attention to the marshal's left wrist and the expression of Gusev, who was standing as straight as a benchmark.

But it's a pity that the cuffs of the marshal's uniform are covered and can't be seen, and Gusev's expression is like a stone carving, and there is no hint.

Looking at the staff officers and guards standing in a row in front of him, Lin Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head. Randomly took out the most inconspicuous one from the pile of watches, "What time is it?" ”

"One o'clock in the afternoon."

The comrades' answer was forceful.

Put it on at the calibration time, the strap is loose and just right - in fact, any one here Lin Jundai will think it is appropriate, Leonov has already adjusted it, and as for the leather strap, there is no one, and the staff officers are very thoughtful.

"Where did you get it from?"

"Marshal, this is the part of the unified collection." Gusev replied.

Keeping the personal belongings of prisoners of war? It depends on the situation and the content: if the prisoners have a watch, only a very small number is needed, and the chances of rioting are at least several times greater! -- This is the opinion of some, and it is very reasonable, that even Field Marshal Adolf Strauss's watch has been confiscated.

However, only a small part of the valuables confiscated were uniformly confiscated, such as this watch, most of which had already been surrendered by the front-line troops, and only those German troops that surrendered in formation were uniformly confiscated.

Commanders at all levels turn a blind eye to the small movements of their subordinates, and picking watches from prisoners of war and enemy corpses is "not considered a violation of discipline," with the exception of escort teams.

Many Red Army commanders and fighters could not afford to buy watches, and the capture of "arming" themselves was tacitly approved, but if any guy made himself seventy or eighty, he would be severely criticized, and then leave one other to hand in!

Watches were the belongings of the warriors, and other valuables were to be handed in, such as gold rings, regardless of whether the captive's finger was a family heirloom or a testimony of love.

"That's it." Lin Jun said as he put the other watches into the box, and then handed them to Gu Seif, who was closest to him.

Now the staff officers were relieved, and the marshal's reaction was very interesting, without adding: these are sent back.

The original unified collection will be distributed to all units as "dividends" after being counted, to those grassroots commanders who have no tables, and even as "local prizes" for grassroots units to reward meritorious personnel: the administrators over there have no plans to go back at all, and these are not counted.

Lin Jun sat back and didn't let them leave, but took out an envelope from his pocket and said, "Look at the contents and tell me what you think." ”

It was the second telegram report sent back by Yugoslavia, top secret. But this top secret is not the kind of "top secret that is now scheduled to be read by a few people", and the level of secrecy here is enough, although the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Lin Jun is accustomed to letting the people around him see the secrets that they can understand, and they are regarded as cultivating, and these people are absolutely reliable, knowing what to say and never mentioning a word. Originally, he wanted to talk to Zhukov or Chuikov, but in the end he still thought that the two were not only too busy to read this telegram, but his staff officers were even more suitable to give him reference and inspiration from the content of the telegram.

Another point, Lin Jun wants to use this message to knock on the heads of these people, which can be regarded as tightening a certain string for himself.

“…… During the period in Užice, it occupied the building of the National Bank of Yugoslavia, which was in the best local conditions, as a residence and office; Great attention to personal living conditions....... dress with attention to appearance...... It has been found that in the early days of underground work, he liked to declare himself an electrical technician or engineer......"

This "its" refers to Tito, the leader of the Yugoslav partisans: the liaison officers are all good agents!

Comrade Tito was portrayed in the telegram as having excellent military command talents, but his personal preferences and habits did not fully correspond to that of a communist commander: to enjoy life, to live in the wilderness only when life and death were at stake, or else to live in the best conditions available; Loves vanity, likes to show what he is capable of, and strives to show that he is superior to others.......

"When he was in Moscow, he always insisted that he was born as a worker, a hardware worker."

Lin Jun's words didn't seem to have any special meaning, but the message made the staff officers feel a little weird!

Such a secret needs to be "limited to a few people", but Moscow does not do so, and seems to think that Tito is a little out of hope - the staff officers will be sad about the watches. (To be continued.) )
