Seeing Comrade Stalin's surprised expression and the almost murderous gaze of his colleagues, Beria realized that he had taken too much and was suspected of committing public anger.

Beria hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Comrade Stalin, comrades, the situation on the European battlefield is not what you imagined, the Germans after several months of continuous offensives, the soldiers are tired and have lost their spirit, the rear supplies and ammunition, the supply is insufficient, and they have lost the ability to continue the offensive. ”

At this point, all the people who participated in the meeting were greatly relieved, as long as there was no unexpected situation in the direction of Europe, and at the same time, they secretly scolded this mysterious Beria, and caused everyone to have a false alarm in vain.

Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, was already a sworn enemy with Beria, and he was even more unaccustomed to this guy's style, so he asked dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Beria, then we don't understand, what do you mean by what you just said that the Germans have entered the end of the war against the Anglo-American coalition forces?" And what is the basis? ”

Beria glanced at Marshal Petroshilov with disdain, but looked at Stalin and said: "According to? Of course, it was the conclusive information of our intelligence agencies that the stalemate in the war on the British Isles was only temporary, and the Germans did not maintain the momentum of continuing the offensive out of desperation, because the Germans needed some time to replenish their troops, equipment, ammunition and supplies, and the Germans also needed to take a breather. ”

"According to the information we have received, Hitler has given the commander of the Third Army Group, von Hitler, who is attacking the British mainland. Field Marshal Clayderman gave the order that Army Group III must be made by the end of August of this year. The resumption of the offensive against the last line of defense of the Anglo-American coalition forces and the end of the war on British soil, that is, before August of this year, it is impossible for the Germans to draw up strong forces to attack our Soviet Union, but this is only the judgment of the intelligence services, and it is the General Staff of Comrade Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, who will act in the specific way of the German army. The most vocal! ”

Beria was a master of political struggle, and quietly threw the ball to Marshal Petroshilov, not only striking back at Marshal Petroshilov, but also questioning Marshal Petroshilov with malicious intent. was a little disgusting to him, and it also meant to shirk responsibility. We intelligence system. All that is provided is information, how to judge the Germans, whether they have other plans, that is a matter for your General Staff, in other words, what I Beria should do. It's done, and the rest is up to you soldiers.

Beria was even more cunning, he never mentioned it in the East. How is the intelligence of the Outer Mongolian Separate Division of the Soviet intelligence system going, because he knows that so far four words can be described as "no progress!" ”

It is also true that the efforts of both the Cheka and the General Directorate of Military Intelligence of the General Staff to establish an intelligence network in Outer Mongolia have been smashed again and again by the counterintelligence agency of the Independent Division, the Investigation Division, and the little-known Director of the Investigation Division, Shen Jun, has become Beria's invisible opponent, but unfortunately, the Soviet intelligence agencies know very little about this opponent.

In addition to knowing that the Chinese secret service leader is named Shen Jun, not very old, and has the rank of colonel, the details about this person are all blank, but Beria knows that the contest with this Shen Jun has just begun, although the internal and external are also in the Soviet Union, and several espionage cases have been solved, which is just a small shrimp of little value, which is not enough to deter the Chinese from reaching out to the black hand in the Soviet Union.

If Beria knew that there was Yu Deshui, the head of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division, who was more mysterious and calm than Shen Jun, and was also his opponent, I don't know whether Beria would be honored or sad, but one thing is certain, no matter who the head of the two intelligence departments of the Independent Division is, life will not be easy.

In the face of Beria's hidden needle, and finally with the strength of the force, Marshal Petroshilov, the chief of the General Staff, could not refute a word, and could only swallow his mouth with difficulty, and glanced at Kulumberia with hatred.

But Beria still underestimated Stalin's political wisdom, and for such a small trick, Stalin has always been not confused, let alone swayed, and asked bluntly: "Comrade Beria, can you ensure the accuracy of the intelligence?" You know, your intelligence, for the USSR, will affect the fate of our country! ”

After speaking, Stalin's falcon-like gaze stared at Beria with a gloomy look.

Beria had no way to retreat, he could play intrigue and trickery against anyone on any occasion, and show his extraordinary political wisdom, but he did not dare to play tricks in front of Stalin, and he did not dare at any time, because, in front of Comrade Stalin, Beria was seen through the deep feelings in his heart, as if he was standing naked in front of the leader, with nothing to hide.

Now the same is true, Beria was furious by Stalin, and quickly replied respectfully and sternly: "Comrade Stalin, I can guarantee it with party spirit!" ”

"Oh!" Stalin breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and then said: "Comrades, today's meeting is over, let's proceed according to the original plan, Comrade Petroshilov, you come with me!" ”

Germany, Berlin, Reichstag, German Führer and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Adolf? In the corridor in front of Hitler's office, two unusual guests came, one was Hitler's right-hand man in the military, the chief of the German General Staff von Hitler? Field Marshal Strongs, the other, was the commander of the German Third Army Group, von Brown, who had recently been in the limelight after the Anglo-American coalition had been bitterly defeated, and could only hold on to a corner. Field Marshal Clayderman.

The two marshals holding the scepter of the Marshal, with medals on their chests, epaulettes and collar flowers, shining with golden light, and a professional military atmosphere, walked on the red carpet in the wide corridors of the Reichstag building, which was undoubtedly a dazzling sight, and the officers who came and went, whether they were SS officers or ordinary officers, all respectfully performed a Nazi military salute, raised their right arm diagonally, and shouted "Hi! Hitler! ”

For the admiring and envious gazes of the officers, the two marshals were obviously not very interested, if there were careful and bold officers, carefully observed, Feng? Marshal Clayderman, frowning, his face was unhappy, and his steps seemed a little hurried, and von? Marshal Strongs, on the other hand, kept whispering something?

Of course, the voice can only be heard by two people, and there is no officer who is brave enough to come over and eavesdrop, Feng? Field Marshal Clayderman was indeed angry, and of the kind that was furious.

He commanded more than one million German soldiers of the Third Army Group, brave and good at fighting, in the British Isles, defeated more than 1.5 million British and American allied troops, and retreated, just when the limelight was flourishing and the offensive was like a rainbow, and in another month, it was possible to occupy all the LinkedIn mainland and achieve unprecedented great achievements, an order from the General Staff, "According to the order of the Führer, the Third Army Group immediately ceased its attack on the Anglo-American allied defense line, turned to the battlefield to rest, when to resume the offensive, Waiting for the order of the Führer, at the same time, the commander of the army group, von? Field Marshal Clayderman immediately rushed back to Berlin to report on his duties. ”

Yes, the almost one-sided war was stopped inexplicably, and it only took one all-out attack to drive the more than one million Anglo-American troops who had lost the capital London, demoralized, and retreating into the Atlantic, and completely occupied the LinkedIn homeland. Field Marshal Clayderman, with a belly full of anger and an unhappy face, angrily got on the plane and returned to Berlin.

As soon as the plane landed at the Berlin airport, von? Marshal Clayderman didn't even catch his breath, so he drove to the General Staff to find his old friend, the Chief of the General Staff, Von Lee. Marshal Strongs reasoned and asked the high-ranking chief of the General Staff, "Is this bullshit order really an order of His Excellency the Führer?" ”

If not, it's some people in the General Staff who have ulterior motives to falsely spread the holy decree, then I'm sorry, Feng? Marshal Clayderman not only prepared his long-time friend, von ? Marshal Strongs tore his face, he would fight the lawsuit directly to the Führer, no matter who, when he was going smoothly and was fighting heartily, was suddenly pulled from behind, it would be the result of anger, not to mention, in the German army, Von, who has always been known for his fierceness and bravery? Field Marshal Clayderman.

Out of Feng? Marshal Klayderman's surprise, Chief of the General Staff von ? Marshal Strongs, as if he had expected that he would come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, had long been waiting in front of the towering office building of the General Staff, and he had not even brought an adjutant with him.

Looking at Feng? Marshal Clayderman walked with steady steps, step by step, onto the smooth platform paved with marble, and only those who knew him well would see the anger in his heart from the steady steps of His Excellency the Marshal. Marshal Strongs was of course one of them, so he took a few steps forward, and when he was far away, he greeted him affectionately, "My dear old friend, welcome back from the front, the damn foggy weather in London has not made you nostalgic for the clear skies of your homeland!" ”

Relative to Feng? Field Marshal Strongs' affection, von? Field Marshal Clayderman was very cold, neither stepped forward to clasp his outstretched hand, nor responded, only old friends can meet in the kind of affectionate greeting, but according to the rules in the army, stand upright, salute, and said: "Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, Commander of the Third Army Group Feng? Clayderman, who was ordered to return to the General Staff from the British front to report on his duties, what instructions did your Excellency have? ”

After speaking, in the light blue eyes, a sharp gaze was shot, looking directly at his old friend, the tone was stubborn and blunt, with undisguised coldness and distance, and of course, there was a smell of gunpowder!
