Steel Soviet Union

After hearing Malashenko's words, Vatutin immediately looked at Zhukov next to him, and both of them understood what they meant when they smiled in unison.

"In this case, you should go back and prepare as soon as possible. I have already talked to you about everything that needs to be said and asked. There is nothing too important anymore."

"As for the attack, I can tell you for sure that we will continue to launch the offensive tomorrow. Let your troops prepare and wait for follow-up orders from the front army headquarters. The combat arrangements will be issued to you tonight. Since this gang If the Fascist lackeys are so ignorant, then the Red Army’s iron fist is welcome! No need to hesitate anymore, we must give the Germans a hard blow!”

"Yes, I understand, Comrade Commander!"

Malashenko, who answered Vatutin in response, was a little puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Strange, these words sound strangely familiar, as if I have heard them somewhere."

In any case, after talking about everything that needed to be discussed, Malashenko took the order and went back. He asked Iushkin, who was his driver, to get in the car and drive back.

On the other side, there was a completely different scene on the German side.

Colonel Weickert, who had messed up the matter, was thinking about how to explain it all the way back, but in the end he couldn't think of a reasonable and good way. 【6】【9】【s】【h】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】

There was no other choice but to bite the bullet. As soon as Colonel Weickert returned to the headquarters, he immediately received a summons from General Stemmermann, the commander of the besieged German army.

The first level of the official university is overwhelming, and the third level of the official university is even more difficult. Colonel Weickert, who was still thinking about how to say this, soon met Strimmermann, but this Wehrmacht general His mental state seems to be very poor at the moment.

Admiral Stummerman, with his bright panda eyes and droopy eyelids, looked like a drug addict who had overindulged in sex and had not slept for several days and was in withdrawal from drugs. The unkempt head, which had not been washed for several days, looked as messy as a chicken coop.

Knowing that the commander had not slept much for several days, Colonel Weickert lowered his head and then walked forward silently.

"Ah, you're back, Weikert. Come and tell me, how was your discussion with those Russians? What favorable conditions and good news did you get for us?"

Weickert, who has been by his side all year round, is one of those rare people who is calm and calm in times of crisis. In addition, he is usually eloquent and good at communication. In the end, many stubborn Russian prisoners were interrogated by him personally. , gave him a complete explanation, so at this moment Stromerman believed that Weickert could bring him some good news.

Even if the current situation is very bad and extremely bad, Strimmerman still holds on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"General, I, I, I have failed to live up to your expectations and trust. The Russians' attitude is unimaginably stubborn and thorough. Our negotiations have failed."

""

Colonel Weickert, who simply and straightforwardly explained the results, said nothing, just lowered his head and did not even dare to look directly into Stromermann's eyes.

He thought that after hearing the news, Stummerman would be furious on the spot, scolding him as an incompetent waste who had messed up everything and his last hope. Then let the guards drag him out and wait for disposal, just like what the Russians did to him not long ago.

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing this extremely bad news, Stromermann didn't say anything more, and even remained silent for a long time without speaking. His fingers were tapping the table constantly, as if he was thinking about something, or maybe he was simply relieving the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. After a long time, he finally choked out a word that was not nutritious.

"What did the Russians say? Did they give you an ultimatum?"

An ultimatum?

Colonel Weickert caught this keyword in his words and was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he did find the words that fit this keyword in his memory. After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to tell Stromerman the truth. paraphrase.

"Major General Malashenko of the Russians, that steel butcher, also participated in the negotiations. At the end, he said that we should just stay here, and he would send tanks to take us to the sky one by one early tomorrow morning."

""

No one says that ultimatums must be fixed in a certain form. Throughout the history of human wars, ultimatums can be said to come in all kinds of strange forms.

But the bizarre ultimatum of "Malashenko's tank aviation" actually made Strimmerman, who was already in a bad mood, choked on the spot and couldn't say a word.

"Only this?"

After hearing this, Weickert thought about it carefully, and then nodded again after confirming that there were no mistakes in translation or incorrect expression.

"Why"

The sigh inevitably contained a very deep despair, and Weickert didn't even know what to do next.

Just earlier today, he received an encouraging telegram personally sent to him by the head of state. The content was the same as before, repeating old things and keeping the same routine.

"You can rely on me and trust me like a solid stone wall, Stummerman. I promise you that you will be rescued from the siege, so for now, keep hanging on."

The promise from the head of state in the telegram was very beautiful, giving people hope like a bright sun suddenly rising in the endless darkness.

At least this is what many soldiers and officers who still have absolute trust in the Führer thought after Strimmermann ordered this telegram to be broadcast to the entire army. They still firmly believe that the Führer came back to save them and did not abandon them. They are loyal and brave soldiers.

As for the SS, they were even more fanatical. Herbert Otto Giller, the commander of the Viking Division, even made a special trip to find the original text of the telegram. After the armistice in the evening, the troops who took back their own troops held a mobilization speech for the whole division. He stood on the podium and waved the original text of the telegram in his hand at the microphone. He gave an impassioned speech with spittle flying everywhere, which shocked the head of state. It can be said that he is like a god who can reverse the world.

As long as the head of state is willing to make a phone call and issue a 5-second order, these besieged soldiers of the head of state can be rescued immediately, and countless German tanks and reinforcements will arrive soon! The Russians will be defeated and defeated. What the Viking division has to do is to cooperate inside and outside and annihilate as many enemies as possible. This is an order from the head of state.
