Six hundred and sixty-five. Deputy Director Dimilenko
The bombing of the Third Military Plant in Moscow has become a major event in Moscow recently.
Defeats on the battlefield can be hidden, but what is directly seen by countless Muscovites cannot be concealed at all.
Soon, similar news appeared in the Moscow newspapers that the bombing of the Third Military Plant had occurred due to the misoperation of a worker, but the damage was minimized thanks to the efforts of the workers.
This is probably the most "lucky" thing.
However, a terrible purge campaign within Moscow began
Including the head of the political department of Moscow University, Tenkovsky, and the head of the political department of the Third Army Factory, Lieutenant Colonel Baglovich, were secretly executed.
No one was able to save their lives, and as Comrade Stalin said, no matter what the failures are, there is always a need for scapegoats
But while it was a secret of the Moscow authorities how the Third Military Factory had exploded, it was clear that they were not prepared to let the German spies who had infiltrated Moscow go unpunished.
A big net has already opened in Moscow.
Stalin, who learned the whole truth, was surprisingly not angry, but told Beria and Dimilenko to do everything possible to solve the case and capture all the spies who had infiltrated Moscow
Stalin's attitude was not surprising, and he was now concerned not with how many spies had infiltrated Moscow, but with the upcoming Battle of Stalingrad.
This, perhaps, will be a great war that will decide the fate of the Soviet Union
Even Stalin did not blame his subordinates too much. But Beria and Dimilenko still felt the heaviest pressure. Everyone knew what the explosion at the Third Military Factory meant, and the men at the front were desperate to get ammunition and they had to make all the preparations for the Battle of Stalingrad.
But the explosion of the Third Military Plant, which was the main production base. but ruined it all
"Can you determine who did it?" Seeing her tired husband returning, Anna couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know what to do, and now there are no clues at all." Dimylenko shook his head, he hesitated there, but decided to tell his wife what was in his heart: "Anna, I think he's back"
"Him?" Anna was stunned for a moment, but then understood the meaning of her husband's words: "Will he really come back?" ”
"Yes. I always feel that he is back" Dimilenko sighed softly: "I really can't think of anyone else who has the audacity to save General Linderov's daughter and wife, and not only that." The Third Military Factory was also detonated, who else but the Skeleton Baron would do such a crazy thing? ”
Anna fell silent
Until now, her heart was filled with infinite gratitude to the Skeleton Baron. If there is no baron. That would never be where she is today.
Life, husband, family and everything they have are given by Baron Skeleton
"What are you going to do?" Anna asked suddenly.
Dimilenko did not understand what his wife meant, and Anna immediately said slowly: "Dimilenko, my dear husband, in Elklin, we have suffered a heavy defeat, 80,000 troops have suffered a devastating blow, and the Germans are about to launch an attack on Stalingrad, do you think Marshal Huaxialevsky can hold back the baron?" ”
Dimilenko thought for a moment: "I don't know what to do. But I hope to be able to do the position of Stalingrad in which it is too important once lost. The whole Caucasus will inevitably not be saved, it is our most important oil base, and what the defeat of the Caucasus will mean, I think each of us knows."
Anna was a little distracted, and after a while she said: "When Baron Skeleton reappeared on the battlefield, we lost first the siege of Dmyansk, and then the defeat at Kharkovmon. What now? Is it the turn of the Caucasus? I'm really not optimistic about our future."
Dimilenko did not know how to answer the question, but in all seriousness he said that since the defeat of Elklin, a feeling of defeat has been spreading among the top brass in Moscow. The existence of the Skull Baron is simply a nightmare for the USSR.
Moreover, Dimilenko also heard that someone is already beginning to prepare a retreat for himself.
And what about yourself? What kind of choice should you make?
Just as Timilenko was deep in thought, Anna suddenly said: "Yesterday, Tayeva was arrested"
"What?" Dimylenko was taken aback: "You're talking about Tayesava, the wife of General Tasotsky?" ”
"Yes" Anna nodded, "It is said that the crime is to provide information to our enemies. ”
"Ridiculous, just ridiculous." Dimilyenko looked very angry: "Tayeshava, I recognize, this is a person who doesn't even know how to get around Moscow, how can she have any contact with the Germans?" And Tasotsky, unlike Linderov, gave his life for what he believed in"
"It is true, my dear husband." Anna's eyes showed sadness: "Tayesava was taken from my eyes, I tried everything I could to defend her, but it didn't work at all now, we don't know where she is, and even their three children are missing Dimilenko, when will it be our turn to encounter such an encounter?" ”
Dimilenko couldn't help but shudder, yes, when will it be his turn to encounter such an encounter?
Dimilenko knows all too well what happens if she loses power, having spent time in a labor camp.
The fate of all Russians is concentrated in the hands of one person - Comrade Stalin!
Here, he has supreme power; Over here. He has the right to dictate the lives and deaths of millions.
"You say, what are we going to do?" Dimilenko asked in a low voice.
"Retreat, I think it's time for us to arrange a retreat for ourselves" Anna's voice also lowered: "Dimilenko. War will end anytime and anywhere, we all have our own families, we have our own children, they should not bear the pain of losing the war, they must grow up healthy, and their future depends on us"
Until then, Dimilenko had always considered himself a staunch revolutionary, unable to change his beliefs no matter what happened, but when he turned his back on himself to a labor camp. After his family was also treated unfairly, Dimilenko's faith was greatly shaken
No one can be on their own, and the only one who can really save themselves is themselves
At this time. The guards outside knocked on them and told Dimilenko that someone outside had asked to see him.
"Let him in" After saying this, Dimylenko's eyes fell on his wife: "He's coming." Is it? ”
"Yes. He's coming."
They all knew who the "he" they were talking to each other was, he came, and this time he really came
So, when the skeleton baron appeared in front of them, Dimilenko and Anna were not surprised in the slightest, as if it was a matter of course
"Did you do the explosion at the Third Military Plant?" This is something that Dimilenko asks with one mouth.
Wang Weiyi glanced at Anna, and found that the eyes of this little girl who didn't understand anything were full of complexity at the moment, and he smiled slightly: "Yes, I did it." Linderov's betrayal. It almost brought my team to ruin, so I had to teach Moscow a lesson. Ksenia and Aphrona are also Mr. Dimilenko, whom I saved, and I can even put them if you want? Now the hiding place tells you."
"I don't have any interest in knowing it." Dimilenko smiled bitterly: "Even if I take people to save Ksenia and Aphrona now, maybe I will only be greeted by a continuous explosion"
Wang Weiyi smiled, smiling very comfortably: "Look, we still have something in common." Well, this time I was only here to save Ksenia and Aphrona, but there were some small problems that forced me to temporarily change my plan Mr. Dimylenko, we are friends, there should be nothing to hide between friends, and it is good for you and me to discuss certain things openly and honestly. ”
Dimilenko nodded involuntarily
Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "Our team's Stalingrad offensive will start soon, maybe we can win, maybe we will lose, my personal advice is, why don't you do anything about it?" ”
Both Dimilenko and Anna froze there, completely unaware of the meaning of the skeleton baron
Wang Weiyi said slowly: "If we win, then you are Germany's friends, if we lose, then you are still Comrade Dimilenko and Comrade Anna, I think you should be able to understand what I said, right?" ”
"Do you want us to be double agents?" Dimilenko asked.
"Look, look." Wang Weiyi smiled again: "Spy is a very dangerous job, how could I let my friend do such a thing?" I just want to establish a hub of contact in Moscow, so that it will be a good thing for me and for you, and see, no one will know about our relationship except the three of us, and even if Germany loses the war, your identity will be kept secret. So in a way, you are safe. However, the cooperation is two-fold, so I need you to help me a little from time to time."
Dimilenko and Anna completely understood that in fact, Baron Skeleton still wanted them to cooperate with Germany.
However, although a retreat was arranged, he still put himself in a very dangerous situation
"We're ready to leave Moscow." Wang Weiyi finally said his true purpose: "However, after we left. I will leave you a scapegoat, one that will be enough for you to give an account to Comrade Stalin"
There he paused for a moment: "Hodevich! ”
"What?" Dimilenko cried out: "Are you talking about Hodevich?" ”
"Yes, Hodwich!" Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "I will give you an address." There is all the evidence of Khodevich's fornication with us, and lo and behold, a spy who is so well hidden inside the Soviets, and you have succeeded in cracking him, do you think Comrade Stalin will be unhappy? ”
"Khodevich's position is very important" Dimilenko thought for a moment there: "Stalin will definitely interrogate him personally"
"No, he won't appear again" Wang Weiyi sneered: "He's missing, understand?" Missing, you will never find this person again in Moscow"
Dimilenko sighed, and now he knew it. When the Skeleton Baron appeared at this moment, he had already arranged everything.
Yes, he admits that the Skeleton Baron arranged it brilliantly. But there is one thing, if you agree to cooperate with Baron Skeleton, it is tantamount to a complete betrayal of your country
"Time is pressing, you have no choice" Wang Weiyi stood up at this time: "I will arrange for your children to go to the United States." It's a very good country, and what I can assure you of is that only I know who you are. Tomorrow there will be a new explosion in the east of Moscow, and I hope that all the troops in the west of the city will be transferred to the east of the city, Mr. Timilenko, and I know that you can do this without your own intervention, right? ”
With that, he picked up his hat and put it on. He bowed slightly to Timilenko and Anna, and then left
He didn't need the couple to answer themselves for anything. He knew what choice they would make.
If there is an inappropriate analogy, it is a deal with the devil.
In the eyes of the Russians, Wang Weiyi is a demon, and Dimilenko once cooperated with him, which is equivalent to signing a contract with him.
Once you sign a contract with a demon, you won't be able to get rid of the constraints of the contract for the rest of your life
Although the men of the squad were skeptical about whether they would succeed in leaving the west of the city, the resolute expression on Field Marshal Ernst's face told them everything
Wherever Field Marshal Ernst is there, there are always miracles, isn't that true?
The truck had already been prepared by Reilly, and in the back of the truck were Ksenia and Aphrona and, of course, another person:
Colonel Hodevich
Poor Colonel Hodevich, when he came home, probably in any case did not think that in his own home there was already a terrible person waiting for him:
Guo Yunfeng!
Guo Yunfeng kidnapped Hodevich beautifully and left enough evidence in his home that Hodevich was shot a hundred times.
Now, the road has been paved
Trucks carrying special detachments and hostages slowly moved through the streets of Moscow.
Halfway through, a huge explosion sounded in the direction of the east of Moscow.
"The show begins, isn't it?" Sidney sitting next to Wang Weiyi. Reilly said with a shrug.
"Yes, the show has begun" A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Weiyi's mouth: "Reilly, I must not forget what I told you, and it must be completed before the end of the Battle of Stalingrad"
"Yes, Baron, but I hope that my money will be transferred to my bank account in a Swiss bank in a timely manner." Reilly said lightly.
"You get everything you want." Wang Weiyi looked ahead: "Okay, you can send it to us, I hope to hear your good news in Stalingrad." ”
"Stalingrad will be dead, and your victory will come with you," was Reilly's last sentence before getting out of the car.
When the truck passed the Soviet outpost west of the city, there was less than a platoon of soldiers on guard.
Commanding these Soviet soldiers was a captain, who looked at Wang Weiyi, who was wearing the uniform of a Soviet colonel, and waved his hand to let him go without checking the truck compartment.
When the truck slowly left his sight, the captain straightened his military uniform: "I'm going to do something, keep a close watch here, and don't let any suspicious people leave"
What the captain had to do was to go and see Comrade Deputy Chief Dimilenko.
He was a close confidant of Deputy Director Timilenko, and even during the Great Purge, when Deputy Director Dimilenko was unable to protect himself, he tried every means to protect him and his family.
So the captain had already sworn that everything he had belonged to Deputy Director Dimilenko
This morning he received an order from Deputy Chief Dimilenko that a truck would pass through here without any checks, and that the captain had faithfully carried out this order.
"Did they leave?" In the corner of the dark alley, Dimilenko, who was dressed in civilian clothes, asked a little nervously.
"Yes, they left, without arousing any suspicion," the captain replied proudly.
He is still very satisfied with his ability to do things
"Good, good." Dimilenko patted him on the shoulder: "I will never forget everything you did for me." ”
"No, Comrade Deputy Director." The captain hurriedly said: "Without you, there would be nothing for me, and whatever you do is what you should do." ”
Dimilenko sighed: "Look, who is that?" ”
The captain turned around, but then the shots rang out. The captain collapsed defenselessly in a pool of blood.
Dimilenko walked up and fired several shots at the captain in a company.
Only the dead will be truly a secret! (To be continued......)
