Chapter 388: Russian Liberation Army

The Führer Rommel, who is now in power, has thoroughly corrected Hitler's erroneous national policy, and the Russian Liberation Army is the most solid step taken by Führer Rommel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Vlasov trembled in front of Rommel, he didn't dare to say a word, beads of sweat were still oozing from his forehead, it seemed that Vlasov was very nervous in the face of Rommel's Führer.

"General Vlasov, do you know what I'm looking for you today?"

Vlasov stammered and replied:

"Great Yuan ...... Führer, subordinates are ignorant...... Please instruct the Great Führer. ”

Vlasov couldn't help but use the rhetoric against Stalin, which was of little use in front of Rommel, who did not engage in a cult of personality.

Rommel motioned for Vlasov to sit down and speak, and Vlasov dared to sit across from Rommel's desk with only half of his ass.

"General Vlasov, you have chosen a bright and correct path, and I welcome you on behalf of all of Germany."

Rommel stood up and stretched out his hand to Vlasov, who had been living under Stalin's pressure, flattered Vlasov, who had been living under Stalin's pressure, and he hurriedly stood up, bowed to the Führer Rommel repeatedly, and then stepped forward to shake Rommel's hand with gratitude.

"It is the honor of my Vlasov to serve the great Führer Rommel, and from now on, I, Vlasov, will be inseparable from the Stalin regime, and I, Vlasov, will follow the great Führer Rommel to the death."

People under the Stalin regime are the best at showing loyalty, and Rommel of course also needs Vlasov's words, in fact, since Vlasov openly published accusations and insults against Stalin in German newspapers, he can never go back, Stalin absolutely hated Vlasov, and he was bound to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Rommel nodded at Vlasov, and agreed with Vlasov's contribution:

"Stalin's tyranny made all the Soviets live in deep fear, we Germany did not come to invade the Soviet Union, we came to liberate the Soviet people.

Didn't Minister Goebbels take you on a tour of the agrarian reform movement in Ukraine? From now on, the people of Ukraine will have their own land, democratic elections, and we will do the same in Russia in the future.

Judging from these measures in Germany, it is very revealing! We are not occupying and invading, but for the liberation of the Soviet people.

In my opinion, the liberation of the Soviet people is not enough, nor is it complete, for us in Germany alone, but requires the broad participation of the Soviet people and the unanimous overthrow of the Stalin regime.

So, I intend to form the Russian Liberation Army from among the Soviet prisoners of war, and you are the commander-in-chief of this army, I don't know what General Vlasov wants. ”

Vlasov, a high-ranking prisoner of war who surrendered to Germany, was so excited that he almost knelt down for Rommel, and he continued to show loyalty to Führer Rommel in a panic:

"Great ...... Führer Rommel, I, Vlasov, will follow you to the death, and I will carry out any orders you give without hesitation......"

Rommel was the Führer who arranged for Vlasov to be the commander-in-chief of the Russian Liberation Army, but in the Russian Liberation Army, there were a large number of middle-level German commanders, and these commanders were selected from the active service of the German army.

Rommel wanted to use Vlasov, but he was wary of Vlasov, and unprincipled trust was not beneficial to Germany and Vlasov, and historically the liberation of Russia turned its guns to attack the German army when Germany was about to lose.

On April 16, 1941, Rommel met with Vlasov, who was allowed to form the Russian Liberation Army, whose mid-level commanders were overwhelmingly German officers, and whose armament consisted of captured Soviet weapons and, of course, a series of heavy weapons such as captured tanks and artillery.

On April 17, 1941, Führer Rommel officially appointed General Vlasov as commander-in-chief of the Russian Liberation Army and authorized him to recruit soldiers from concentration camps, with Goebbels in charge of his ideological transformation and German mid-level commanders in charge of training.

The Russian People's Liberation Army created in this way has been firmly controlled by the German army, and even if Vlasov has two hearts in the future, he will not be able to make any waves.

On April 18, 1941, an agreement was signed between the German government and Vlasov, who was already the chairman of the "Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia".

The agreement contained several very important provisions, first, that the People's Commissars of Russia authorized Germany to liberate the Soviet Union under Stalin.

This is to glorify Germany's aggression in legal terms, but of course this is just a cover-up, and when Germany is the final victor, then this agreement is extremely correct, because history is written by the victors.

Secondly, the Russian People's Commissars handed over the wartime command of the Russian People's Liberation Army to Germany. (That's about the same as in South Korea.) )

Thirdly, the legal tender of Russia in the future will be the Deutsche mark. (To control a country's currency issuance is to control that country.) )

Fourthly, in the future, all Russian industry and mineral goods will be unconditionally open to Germany.

In fact, this clause completely regarded the future Russia as a part of Germany, and Russia as a country may still have a name, and perhaps Führer Rommel was not happy and completely annexed Russia to Germany.

In order to show his talents, Vlasov, with the cooperation of Goebbels, formed troops as quickly as possible.

In just a few days, there were already 90 field battalions and a number of other small detachments of the Russian PLA in the German army, mainly thanks to Goebbels' brainwashing work.

These 90 battalions of Soviet prisoners of war are all people who have completed ideological reform, and the subsequent ideological education of the prisoners is still ongoing, and more Soviet prisoners of war will join the "glorious" ranks of the Russian People's Liberation Army in the future.

The initial combat mission of the Russian People's Liberation Army was mainly used to deal with the partisans and carry out the task of suppressing the resistance, and the role was almost equivalent to that of the local security forces, and after they fought a few battles, they would be sent to the Soviet front to fight.

The German High Command also directly commanded several large Russian troops, including the 1st Cossack Division, several Cossack regiments and the Kalmyk Cavalry Corps, dressed in German uniforms, except that the armbands and badges had the words of the Russian Liberation Army.

These armies were formed by prisoners of war other than ethnic Russians, and Führer Rommel did not hand over the command of all POW units to Vlasov, who was only the military commander of ethnic Russians, while the Führer Rommel arranged for other POW units of other nationalities in the Soviet Union.

This is called divide and rule, and Führer Rommel would never have cultivated a Russian Liberation Army with unified command on his own, which is not good for German rule.

For example, the Belarusian Liberation Army, which has about 10,000 people, is one such force. In addition, there are 20,000 people of the Ukrainian Liberation Army, 5 infantry regiments, l tank battalions, 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion. The Don Cossack "Volunteers" brigade had 8000 people.
