492 Blackmail (II)

When dealing with hooligans, you have to be more hooligans than hooligans. If you follow the rules honestly, the only result will be that you will be eaten by the big hooligans to the point that there are no bones left. Making a rule, letting it bind the vast majority of hooligans, and then playing the game to their heart's content, that's the whole point of making rules.

Anyway, the British have been playing such a game for more than two hundred years, and the Americans have been playing with polar bears for half a century, and even continue to play it for a while in the new century. There's no reason for the world's most powerful immortals not to play like that, right?

Maybe some comrades will worry that the game is out of play? What if those hooligans decisively quit the game?

That can only say that you still don't understand the basic rules of the dirty little game of international politics, that is, if you have milk, you are a mother, that is, you are a friend of the dead and not a poor man. For the big hooligans of the Entente powers, their circle is quite small, and there are only a few families who can eat with them, and this definitely does not include the three families.

The first is Germany, the second is Austria-Hungary, and the third is Russia. The first two are enemies, the biggest obstructors to the interests of their small group. As for the third family, it was the betrayal of the little brother and a potential enemy.

And now, as Russia's threat index continues to rise, the Entente hooligans have to make certain adjustments, and they must slightly win over the enemy who was originally ranked first. But that doesn't mean they're going to allow the Germans to eat at the table, their plan is more like throwing a bone or two, meaning a little bit.

That is to say, the German Entente did not care at all, they only cared about their own interests. So, if Germany is threatened by another very powerful rogue. And this very powerful rogue still has the ability to threaten them, the big hooligans. They will pretend that they do not see the Germans being threatened - that is the annoyance of you Germans. It has nothing to do with us!

And as soon as the Germans made certain choices against them because of this threat, they would change their faces again and slap the Germans in the ass with a bloodstained mace: "I made you uncooperative!" I'll make you disobedient! ”

As for the poor Germans trying to explain, the devil listens to the Germans, the big rascals don't need explanations, all they need is the result!

This is international politics, which has always been so fruitful. And the Germans were a real tragedy, and they wanted to make a name to the Entente. in exchange for "forgiveness", but was immediately threatened by an immortal. What is even more infuriating is that the Entente group is still indifferent to this, and only emphasizes that as long as the result is achieved. The Germans are really in a dilemma.

And Li Xiaofeng is such a result, he believes that under great pressure, the Germans should make the right choice. That's drag!

The Germans can only drag, they can only smile bitterly and laugh haha, who can afford to offend them on both sides?

However, it is important to emphasize one point. Procrastination is not the solution to the problem, the problem remains. The Germans still have to take sides, and delaying will only make them more awkward in the future. Of course, the Germans also know this, but now it can only be delayed.

"Sue the damned British, the situation in our country is in chaos, the army is dealing with the Communists, the people are struggling with hunger and cold, we are willing to solve the problem of the Jews, but it will take time!" Albert said helplessly.

For Albert today, the position of chancellor is almost a crater, and the pressure at home and abroad are intertwined, like a noose, leaving him breathless. Sometimes he regretted taking over this mess, and if he had known this, he would not have taken this position if he had been killed.

It's a pity that the hot potato has already grabbed his hand, and he can't throw it out if he wants to, and what's even more terrifying is that he can't pick it yet. If he stepped down from the post of prime minister, neither the Communists nor the Junker landlords would let him go.

"For today's plan, I can only be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day!" Albert muttered to himself.

Not only is Albert going to be a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, the whole of Germany is actually in this state. And Li Xiaofeng discovered the embarrassment of the Germans, so he dared to threaten and intimidate so unscrupulously.

"Effective, isn't it?" Li Xiaofeng said to Li Erwen with a smile.

The female spy was assigned by M to warn him not to break the rules, and it seems that the Entente still values the agreement. But in Learvin's view, this is simply a joke.

"That's a shit-like agreement that doesn't have any binding power on that bastard!"

M smiled bitterly and said, "We all know it, but we need this agreement very much for the time being!" ”

For this explanation, Li Erwen immediately stopped talking, if he could refuse that agreement, I am afraid that the empire would have rejected it a long time ago, the problem is that it can't, because someone has no choice at all, either play with him or be killed, there is no choice at all.

"Then we're just going to watch him break the rules? Just watch him take the damn Germans and threaten them, and then let our plans fall through? Learvine asked angrily.

M smiled bitterly again, and said with a dry smile: "In a sense, that one didn't break the rules, he just had an attempt to break the rules, and according to our agreement, this is allowed......"

This shit-like explanation made Learvine speechless for a while, but what could she say? The strong are naturally privileged. She took a deep breath and asked, "What's the point of warning him?" ”

M laughed dryly again, "We have to let that guy know that all his plans are in our anticipation......"

Learwin understood that the meaning of the empire was nothing more than to sue someone: "I saw that you were playing a side ball, don't try to fool us, sue sΓΉ you, you better be careful, you can play a side ball, we can too!" ”

Truth be told, it's ridiculous and totally pointless, at least not to Lierwin, because the attitude of the Empire is like that of a robber who is inward-looking, or a loser who refuses to accept that he is at a disadvantage.

"Why did you let me go?" Learwin didn't want to accept the task at all. This only made her feel more and more like a failure.

"Because from now on, you've been identified as the messenger, the point of contact, between the Empire and that bastard. From now on, tasks of this nature will be your responsibility! ”

No doubt. The news made Learvin's mood worse and worse. You can imagine when someone plays the side ball again and again in the future. She also needs to act as an incompetent contact again and again, which is like rubbing salt in her wounds.

"I think it's a good appointment, Miss Double Agent, and it means we can meet in the open. It saves a lot of unnecessary trouble, doesn't it? ”

Learwin said hatefully: "I think meeting you is the biggest trouble!" ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't answer, but asked, "Then you came today to warn me routinely?" ”

The word warning made Learvin feel unusually harsh, and it was clear that some immortal was laughing at her. Immediately, her anger rose: "Do you think that you have succeeded in bringing the Germans into submission, and you can enjoy the Polish cake with a delicious stomach?" Mr. Naive, I sue you. You're too early to rejoice! This drama has just begun, let's see! ”

After saying that, Learwin walked away angrily, and after she left, Anna opened another door, walked straight up to a certain immortal, and asked, "You deliberately provoked her?" ”

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dealing with a woman like her who is too smart, it must be like this!" ”

Anna tilted her head and thought about it, then said, "But why do I think she did it on purpose?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "I said it, she is quite smart!" It also makes her not cute at all! ”

Truly. It seemed that a certain immortal had the absolute upper hand just now, but Learwin was never a simple woman. It's not a woman who will lightly expose her feelings. It can be said that this woman is a spirit, and she will not hesitate to use any means to achieve her goals, including pretending to be a grandson and feigning anger.

"Then what she called walking and seeing, is it true?" Anna asked again.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head.

"Are you negative or don't you know?" Anna smiled playfully.

Li Xiaofeng sighed, hugged Anna in his arms, and explored around dishonestly with one hand: "I said, a woman who is too smart is not cute......"

The Battle of Warsaw was in its final moments when a certain immortal was playing dumb riddles with his own Xiaomi, and in a rather small area around Vovomin, the last of Poland's military forces had been surrounded, and with the arrival of the last of Ubolevich's troops on the battlefield, the final general attack was about to begin.

The first to be encircled and annihilated were the 27th Division and the 202nd Mixed Brigade, and the troops of more than 7,000 people of Khachanov and Ganmin were compressed into an open field with a radius of no more than one square kilometer. The previous fierce battles had completely destroyed a single building and vegetation on the ground in the area, and Khachanov and Ganmin's forces had to dig trenches and potholes day and night to resist heavy artillery fire.

"This morning, in just four hours, more than 20,000 shells have fallen on our positions, and the trenches that we worked so hard to dig last night have almost completely destroyed...... Our army lacks ammunition, food and drinking water, and most importantly, no sleep at all. Most of the soldiers hadn't closed their eyes for more than 48 hours, and the shells that kept falling made it impossible to rest...... I saw with my own eyes a tired lad who fell asleep straight into the middle of the battle...... If we continue like this, if we don't get killed by the enemy, we will also die of exhaustion! ”

After writing this diary, Gan Ming fell asleep directly on the table, and a few hours later, the brigade seat was taken prisoner of the People's Liberation Army in his sleep, along with his brigade headquarters and guard company.

To tell the truth, the People's Liberation Army that rushed into the headquarters of the 202nd Brigade at that time was startled, and the scene of more than 300 people sleeping was not an ordinary spectacular.

Of course, Ganmin was undoubtedly lucky that he was able to sleep beautifully in the prisoner of war camp, while Khachanov had to go through a period of torture. When the general attack on the 27th and 202nd brigades began, the master of the division did not feel sleepy at all, he did not fall asleep and wait for death like Gan Ming, but called his personal guards, abandoned the troops and ran away in the chaos and night.

Khachanov's escape was full of hardships, and when his guards did not know what to do in the confusion, and by the time they managed to break out of the encirclement, the division was already a veritable commander of the bare-bones. At the time, he was still a little proud. I feel like there's no endless road or something.

But he soon found out. Breaking out of the encirclement doesn't necessarily mean it's safe. First he got lost, and after two sleepless nights in a wheat field (gnats), he rushed into the local farmer's house to try to get some food.

Originally, he thought that he would be entertained or sheltered by the local residents, but he soon realized that the gap between his ideals and reality was very huge. Instead of seeing the hospitable Polish countryman, he was chased and bitten by a fierce bulldog. Paid a terrible price for a pair of pants and a wound to the buttocks.

The well-behaved Khachanov no longer dared to fight the Polish peasants' ideas, so he could only get some green cabbage leaves and cabbage to feed his stomach like a vegetable thief, and then sneaked in the direction of Warsaw. During this period, in order to survive, Master Shiza went down to the gutter. Drill through the dung pits, leaving countless footprints in the wilderness. It wasn't until a week later that he couldn't bear the spitting and diarrhea and swinging, so he had to surrender on his own initiative.

To tell the truth, the soldiers of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army at that time did not believe that this poor creature who was worse than a beggar was a high-ranking officer of the Polish Wehrmacht. He almost drove this thing away as a hungry ghost fighting the autumn wind, but it was the captured officers and soldiers of the 27th Division who recognized the poor division commander and saved him from dying on the side of the road.

Of course, Khachanov was also lucky, at least picking up a small life. Other Polish officers were not necessarily so lucky. After the fall of the 27th Division, the next to come to an end was the 11th Division. Cessnawis tried to break through, but several attempts were repulsed.

On the night of July 10. Sesnauskis dismissed all his men, looked alone in the direction of Poland and wept, ending his life a few minutes later with a gunshot, just a few hours before his thirty-second birthday.

By the morning of 11 July, Pilsudski's once-mighty military force was largely wiped out, and only the 30th and 34th divisions in the core of the encirclement were still watching.

Why wait and see? Because the previous table of these two divisions was very interesting, they neither took the initiative to break through the encirclement, nor did they actively move closer to the friendly forces, but sat in place, watching the friendly troops being crushed one by one, and those who didn't know it thought they were watching the play.

During this period, Pilsudski several times ordered Zelmikas and Mikalayunas to meet friendly forces or break through, but the two division commanders refused on various grounds.

Years later, Mikarayunas recalled: "Breakout? How to break through? There were Jews on all sides, and it was a dead end. Adhere? What's the point of holding on? I don't believe that the Allied armies will come...... At this time, it's too late to say anything, it's a dead end anyway, so let's stick to it one more day! ”

Zelmikas, on the other hand, was more radical: "The most pragmatic thing to do is to surrender, and to continue to resist is to push the brothers into the fire pit, and I don't want to be scolded by my fathers and villagers in my hometown...... The only thing I have to do now is wait, wait for the most opportune time to surrender to the Jews! ”

Sure enough, after the fall of the 11th Division, Zelmikas quickly raised the white flag and surrendered, and the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, which was in charge of interrogating him at that time, once asked: "Since you knew that it was a dead end and you were not ready to resist, why didn't you surrender earlier?" ”

Here's how Zelmikas replied: "If I had been the first to surrender, Pilsudski would never have spared me after the war." He will surely put most of the blame for the failure on my head. So I can't surrender too early, and when the rest of the troops are finished, and only us are left, I will not be afraid of doing my duty anyway! ”

To put it bluntly, Zelmikas's idea is very simple, in order to prevent being found behind, he can't surrender too early, no matter what, someone has to surrender before him, and he can only surrender after there is an unlucky ghost who is behind him. As for not resisting violently, it is also very simple, anyway, they all have to surrender, and the resistance is too fierce, and the Jews are provoked to have his good fruit to eat?

I have to say that Poland almost fought a war, but the political mind is still good. A division commander like Zelmikas can think about everything so well, it's a pity not to be a politician.

However, the end of this clever man was not good, and after the war, he was released by the East Prussian People's Liberation Army and chose to return to his homeland instead of settling in Germany, like another more intelligent friend, Mikalayunas.

Shortly after his return, Zelmikas was arrested by the gendarmes and court-martialed, where Pilsudski charged him with fear of the enemy, disadvantage in battle, and treason. Anyway, Lao Bi blamed all the losses in the Battle of Warsaw on Zelmikas's head.

Maybe the moment he walks on the execution ground, Zelmikas will understand that any excuse is meaningless in the face of power, saying that you are guilty then you are guilty, and there is no need for any excuse at all.

For example, Khachanov, who also surrendered voluntarily, was relatively well-off in this family, and spent a lot of money to get through Pilsudski's door, so not only did he not have any, but he was set up as a hero who fought to the death. It can be seen how small the gap between heroes and bears is for the Poles.

On July 12, the gunfire in the vicinity of Vovomin finally stopped, and a general battle that lasted more than half a month came to an end. Pilsudski lost even his underwear in this general battle, and his political ambitions in Greater Poland were wiped out along with hundreds of thousands of troops. Of course, his previous prediction must have come true, because this unprecedented fiasco has indeed turned a new page in Polish history...... (To be continued......)
