The Battle of Elkrin is over.

In this battle, the Soviet 3rd Army suffered the most terrible losses, suffering 33,000 casualties under the commander of the 190th Division, Major General Tasotsky, 39,000 under the commander of the 3rd Army Corps, 39,000 under the commander of the captured and surrendered 3rd Army Corps, and 3,000 missing.

That is, the entire Third Army was wiped out.

This was a very terrible thing for the Soviet Union. Moscow's first reaction was to immediately seal up the news of the fiasco.

Once the news leaked, it would lead to catastrophic consequences, and an entire corps was almost left behind by the Germans, what could be more terrible?

The destruction of the Third Army also brought an even more serious and terrible problem, and now the entire strategic plan of Marshal Vasilevsky was completely disrupted, and the Germans would be able to attack Stalingrad without hindrance!

That's the worst thing......

On the frontal battlefield, Moder, who had been in a defensive position before, began to take the initiative to attack the Soviet army after receiving the order of Baron Alexon, which also indicated that the Battle of Stalingrad was coming.

Now, Marshal Vasilevsky's heart is even more bottomless, the loss of the Third Army Corps, the disrupted of all deployments, and the confidence of the German army, which has been unprecedentedly strengthened, will appear on the battlefield in what way?

I'm afraid that for the time being no one will be able to answer this question of Marshal Vasilevsky......

At this time, Wang Weiyi finally met General Linderov again.

- Again!

When General Lindeloff saw the famous Baron Alexon. He was completely stunned.

Major Vedros?

Hell, this man was Baron Skeleton - he had been in his headquarters at one point, and he had just given the order. The Skeleton Baron will become a corpse.

Lindeloff let out another wry smile......

He suddenly realized that he had no chance of being able to kill the Skeleton Baron, because probably no one would have thought that the Skeleton Baron would have such a great courage to appear in the heart of the enemy!

He also felt that he was not wronged by his defeat, and that if an enemy commander could do what the baron did, he would probably be able to achieve continuous victories.

He was now curious about what the Skeleton Baron was going to do with him.

"You may be seated, General Lindeloff, I think we are old friends." Wang Weiyi smiled and invited General Lindelov to sit down. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes: "General, do you smoke?" ”

"Ah, thank you. But if possible, I prefer to use a pipe. ”

"Bring a pipe to the General." Wang Weiyi lit his cigarette while instructing this: "General, let's talk about it." What conditions are you willing to accept to renounce your beliefs? ”

So straight to the point. On the contrary, Lindeloff did not know how to answer.

He had thought that there would always be some opening statements, but who would have thought that the baron would be so straightforward. Probably everything the baron did was unexpected.

A pipe and shredded tobacco were brought in, and Lindeloff stuffed the tobacco as he spun through his mind as he spun around what to do with the baron.

But Wang Weiyi didn't mean to urge at all......

Lighting his pipe, Lindeloff took a deep breath: "Faith cannot be broken...... Mr. Baron, I think you also have your own beliefs, if you are in my place. Will you choose to surrender? ”

"I'm not going to be in your place." Wang Weiyi's answer was full of domineering: "I am sure that I will not fail, and I cannot fail." So now it's your problem, not mine, that is being discussed. ”

Lindeloff shook his head, he really had never seen a marshal who spoke so domineeringly......

"Well, I'll admit I'm a loser right now." Lindeloff tried to keep his tone as calm as possible: "But to be a loser, he also has his own dignity, right?" Mr. Baron, you can shoot me, hang me, but you can't betray my loyalty to the Bolsheviks. ”

"These words are all making excuses for themselves." Wang Weiyi said unceremoniously: "When it comes to your doctrine, I probably know more deeply than you. I think if I'm not wrong in my guess, with the defeat of Elklin, first, Moscow will strictly block the news; Second, will they continue to drink the same that they did after the battle of Kharkov, desperate to find a scapegoat? Who will be this scapegoat? Ah, I think it must be you. Now, I'm not worried about your own safety, but about what will happen to your family? Labor camps? Or Siberia? General Linderov, maybe you know this outcome better than I do......"

Lindeloff was silent......

Indeed, as Baron Alexon said, he knew best what would happen to his family.

"There are no generals who win all battles, including me." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Victory or defeat on the battlefield is just the level of command ability, and this is not a reason to implicate your family. But on the contrary, your esteemed Comrade Stalin always likes to do this...... Purges, purges after purges, countless of his former comrades have died in such constant purges. I've heard that with your qualifications, you can get a higher rank, but why are you only a lieutenant general now? ”

Lindelov did not hide this: "I did suffer some implications during the last purge, and as a result I was never promoted, but this did not affect my faith in the Bolsheviks. ”

"Really?" Wang Weiyi smiled sarcastically: "Do you have to be like Malowski to get promoted?" General Rydlov, if you and Malowski switch places with each other now, I promise that I will never say anything more to you, my gallows is for such people. And the reason why I'm still patiently talking to you about these issues now. It's because I feel like we can be friends. ”

Friend? Lindelov was stunned for a moment, he never thought that he would be friends with a German......

"Let's go ahead and talk about the problems we have and how we can solve them." Wang Weiyi said slowly: "Now." You have failed, and even if I release you, after returning to Moscow, you will not be able to be trusted, and I think you have seen what happened to Marshal Timoshenko, do you think that you are more worthy of Stalin's trust than Marshal Timoshenko? Ah, let's imagine that. What will happen to you when you return to Moscow...... Censorship, endless censorship...... You, and your family...... Then. There are some little people who you didn't even look at in the past have come to tell you, Comrade Linderov, the defeat at Elklin, after our investigation. You have not firmly implemented the great strategic line laid down by the great Comrade Stalin. You are fully responsible for this...... By the way, also, when you were captured, you did not firmly fight the most tenacious struggle against the German fascists, and you lost the firm stand that a party member should have. What happens then? Expelled from your party? Residential surveillance? Or will it be shot? I'm not sure about that, you say? ”

Lindeloff listened completely and stayed there.

The German marshal in front of him seemed to know Moscow's set very well, and there was nothing to hide from him.

He said. It's entirely possible, and even more terrifying.

Stalin and Moscow will not let go of themselves. They need scapegoats, and they need scapegoats for every failure. For example, in Kharkov, even Marshal Timoshenko, who was so highly respected, became a scapegoat, not to mention himself?

"Faith is built with great trust." Wang Weiyi's voice was a little lowered: "I also have some friends in Moscow, who have also suffered very unfair treatment before, but then I helped them a little, and they regained their trust...... General Linderov, I'm not afraid to tell you this, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, remember, with me. I can also help you with something, I can help you in any way......"

"Working with you?" Lindeloff didn't quite understand.

"Yes, work with me." Wang Weiyi accentuated his tone: "You didn't cooperate with Germany, so you didn't betray your beliefs, and if you cooperated with me, it would be completely different......"

Lindeloff thought it was a little funny, and he was simply deceiving himself there. However, he also thanked the baron for his kindness, at least, the other party gave him a good step.

Lindelov calmed his emotions: "What if I continue to refuse? Shoot me right away? ”

"Ah, no, I don't do such a cruel thing." Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "But I can tell you what I will do." I'll make my best forgery expert. Forge a confession in which you are willing to cooperate with us in full, in which you will scold your doctrine and your comrade Stalin......"

"Despicable!" Lindeloff's face changed suddenly.

That's the really scary thing...... Once this false confession of oneself appears, whether it is true or not, it will bring ruin to his family.

Comrade Stalin would be furious, and his family would have disappeared inexplicably, as if there had never been such a person in the world.

Despicable, he didn't look like Baron Alexon would do this!

"Yes, I admit, such a method is despicable indeed." Wang Weiyi was not affected by the other party's attitude at all: "However, for those who are stubborn and unwilling to cooperate with me, I do not hesitate to take any despicable means." General Linderov, I sincerely hope that you will consider the following of your current situation......"

As he spoke, he looked at the time: "You learned about Lu Dao, my time is very precious, I will give you half an hour to think about it......"

Then, he took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth......

He didn't wait for half an hour, and after just over 10 minutes, Lindeloff spoke: "Mr. Baron, my wife died very early, and she left me a daughter and a sister who was only six years old at the time......"

It is very strange that Lindeloff actually talked about his own family as soon as he opened his mouth. Wang Weiyi also listened with great interest:

"I loved my wife so much that I never got married again. I remember when my wife died, she told me to take good care of our daughter and her sister. I've done that over the years. Twenty years, raising two girls, I don't think you can appreciate the hard work......"

Wang Weiyi nodded, just from this aspect, he still sympathized with Linderov......

Lindelov stuffed his pipe with shredded tobacco: "Now my wife's sister has gone to work, in the Third Military Plant in Moscow. My daughter, on the other hand, is at Moscow University. If there's anything I really care about in Moscow, it's the two of them......"

Wang Weiyi understood at once: "Do you want me to rescue them for you?" ”

"Yes?" Lindeloff nodded solemnly: "If you can get them out." I think I'd consider working with you, but only with you. ”

"Look, a good start......," Wang Weiyi seemed very pleased with Linderov's change of attitude: "But not only did I send you to the gallows. Instead, you have to rescue your daughter and your wife's sister. Ah, what's their name? ”

"Ksenia and Aphrona. Ksenia is my daughter......"

"Ah, nice name." Wang Weiyi nodded: "Cooperation is mutually beneficial, then, tell me, when I rescue them, what kind of reward can you give me?" ”

Lindelov was silent, and then said slowly: "All the unit numbers, personnel and equipment, specific deployments of the Caucasian Front, as well as the names of all officers above the brigade level and their personalities......"

"Ahh Priceless. Wang Weiyi was satisfied: "I can start preparing for the rescue of Ksenia and Aphrona now, but how can I make them believe me?" ”

"Please wait. Can you give me pen and paper? ”

Taking the pen and paper handed by Wang Weiyi, Lindeloff wrote a letter very carefully, and then handed it to Wang Weiyi.

"Mind if I take a look?" After receiving Linderov's affirmative answer, Wang Weiyi opened the letter and read it roughly: "Ah, how touching...... I want to be like you when you were a child, when the sun is setting on the earth, I want to feed you a bite of apples...... Please trust the people who will answer you...... Take Ksenia with you...... General Linderov, I think I should give this letter to Aphrona? ”

"Yes, Mr. Baron, please, put this letter in Aphrona's hands before they trust you." Lindeloff said solemnly.

Wang Weiyi smiled and carefully put away the letter: "I will, in a few days, you will be able to see your relatives." ”

With that, he stood up and walked slowly out of the road......

．．．．．．

"What, how many days are you leaving?" When he heard the news, Ludwig looked at Ernst with suspicion. Marshal Bream: "Marshal, what do I suspect you are going to do?" ”

"Look at you, why do you have so much heart?" Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "After winning the victory in Elklin, I need to go to free activities for a few days and adjust well. ”

"Hey, I don't really believe you...... Ah, marshal, not to be disrespectful to you, but look at who you are going to take away. Guo Yunfeng, Klingenberg, Mylister, Heisenberg, Edim...... Oh my God, what do you want to do? Ludwig smiled and was full of "vigilance" for Field Marshal Ernst.

The Führer had repeatedly and sternly told them that Field Marshal Ernst must no longer be allowed to take risks.

"I need some very capable bodyguards, and the five of them are." Wang Weiyi replied casually: "Okay, don't ask more, I'll come back after a few days of relaxation." Ludwig, I have already explained to General Paul Hausser, that in the few days of my absence, you will actively prepare for a larger offensive against the Soviet army, and I hope that when I return, you will all be ready. ”

"Yes, we will." Ludwig replied loudly.

To be honest, he knew that he couldn't stop the baron from doing anything, even if the Führer was here, and once the baron decided what he wanted to do, who else could dissuade him?

In fact, Ludwich also wanted to follow the Baron on an adventure, and the adventure factor in the SS officers determined their idea.

However, it seems that the baron was not prepared to take him.

At this time, Guo Yunfeng and several people had already prepared according to the baron's instructions, and came to Wang Weiyi's side, Guo Yunfeng said in a low voice: "Xiaoling and Elena will provide us with all-round help in the base, and Elena also said that it is a pity that they can't go to Moscow with us this time...... At the same time, Elena also contacted Sidney. Reilly, who and his death squad will provide us with all the necessary help in Moscow. ”

Wang Weiyi nodded, it has been a while since the "Sidney Death Squads" were sent to Moscow by themselves, and now it is time to use them.

In fact, the layout has already begun, Wang Weiyi does not feel that this trip to Moscow is any dangerous, in his opinion, it is just another small trip in his countless adventures.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his pocket. It contained an emotional letter from General Lindeloff to his daughter and his wife's sister. (To be continued......)
