Chapter 2172 The Avengers Alliance

Shortly after Potapov and Malyshev left, Sidolin received a call from Braginsky, commander of the 109th Infantry Division: "Comrade Chief of Staff, something strange happened here, and I need to Report to Comrade Commander immediately."

"Strange thing?" Hearing what the other party said, Sidolin couldn't help but thumped in his heart, wondering whether the German army had discovered the assembly of troops, and asked quickly: "Could it be that your division was preparing for the war and was discovered by the Germans? "

   "Uh, that's not true." Braginsky said: "Although what I said is related to the Germans, they didn't find out that we were preparing for battle."

   "Then tell me, what happened?"

   "It's inconvenient to talk about it on the phone." Braginski asked tentatively, "Can I report to the commander in person?"

  Sidorin quickly covered the microphone with his hand, and reported to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, Colonel Braginsky said that he has something important to report to you in person. Let him come over?"

   "Let him come over." Sokov said: "Since we can't talk about it on the phone, it proves that the matter is very serious. It's best for him to talk about it in person."

   "Comrade Colonel, the commander has agreed, come here now."

  Ten minutes later, Braginsky came to the headquarters.

   "Please sit down, Comrade Colonel." Sokov waited for the other party to salute, then greeted him to sit down, and then asked straight to the point: "You said you have something important to report to us in person, and you can start reporting now."

"Yes, Comrade Commander." Braginsky agreed, and began to report to Sokov: "Recently, some strange civilians have appeared in my army, and they have frequent contact with my subordinates. After learning about this situation, I An investigation was launched immediately. At the beginning, I thought these people were spies sent by the Germans, but after asking, I found out that they came from an organization called 'Nakam', which translates to 'Avengers' alliance'."

"What, the Avengers?!" When Sokov heard the name, his jaw almost fell to the ground. The first thing that came to his mind was Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow, etc. People, do these superheroes also travel to this era? He stammered, "Colonel Braginski, tell me, what is going on with this organization?"

  Brazinski nodded and said: "From my understanding, this is an organization formed by the surviving Jews. Some of the backbones in it are the Jewish Brigade from London. They want to avenge the Jews who died at the hands of the Germans."

  As more and more concentration camps were liberated by the Soviet army, more and more people knew about the cruel methods of the German army against the Jews. Now all members of the headquarters know about it. After hearing this, Pornegerin nodded and said, "The Germans used the gas chambers to kill tens of thousands of Jews in the concentration camps. It makes sense for the survivors to avenge their dead relatives. But they are in our army. What kind of connection is going on here, and what's going on?"

"Comrade Deputy Commander," Braginsky turned to Ponedelin and said, "People who don't understand the history of our country have a serious misunderstanding, thinking that no matter whether it is the Tsarist Russia era or the current Soviet Union, people with Si in their names There are many people with Ki. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Those with Ski in their name are either Poles or Jews. For example, I am a Jew with Ski in my name.”

"You're right." For Braginski's statement, Sokov agreed: "Marshal Rokossovsky also has Ski in his name, and he has half of Poland. Bloodline." At this point, he seemed to understand something, and asked tentatively, "Colonel Braginski, if I guessed correctly, the commanders and fighters connected by those people should all be of Jewish or Polish descent. ?”

"That's right, Comrade Commander, that's indeed the case." Braginsky nodded and said, "These avengers told our commanders that the Germans brutally massacred tens of thousands of Jews, and we should treat them with respect." An eye for an eye for an eye, as many Jews as they killed, we will kill as many Germans, soldiers or civilians."

  Brazinski's words made Pornejelin take a breath: "Colonel Braginsky, what are you talking about, their revenge targets also include civilians?"

"Yes, Comrade Deputy Commander." Braginsky nodded and said, "I just think they are too extreme, so I prevent the commanders and fighters from contacting them. You know, if you want to avenge the Germans for the dead Jews , should look for those heinous SS leaders, but ordinary German people..."

Braginsky's words reminded Sokov of some materials he had read in later generations: The famous avenger Joseph Hamatz said in an interview with the "British Observer" in 1998: "Our ultimate intention is to end the 6 million Germans. Human life, every Jew killed by the Germans had a corresponding one.” Their greatest revenge plan was to poison the water supply system of five major German cities: Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Nuremberg and Weimar.

  But after this plan was denied, the Nakam organization formulated a new plan: kill 12,200 detained SS guards. In April 1946, Joseph Hamatz led the plan. They sent people to sneak into the bakery that provided bread for German prisoners of war, and poisoned 3,000 loaves of bread, resulting in food poisoning of 2,200 prisoners of war, but the exact death The number of people was not recorded.

  While Sokov was recalling the information about "Nakam", Braginsky had finished speaking and was looking at Sokov, wanting to hear what kind of decision he would make. "Comrade Commander," Seeing Sukov's pensive look, Pornegerin quickly pushed him gently with his hand, and then asked, "Colonel Braginsky is asking you, what should I do?" What about the members of the Avengers?"

"Colonel Braginsky, since you are Jewish, I think you can talk to their leaders." Sokov worried that these avengers would hurt the innocent, so he said to Braginsky: " It is not impossible to say that we can support some of their weapons, and even send organized troops to assist them when necessary. But the premise is that their revenge actions must not target civilians, but only those who have put down the crime of massacre. German officers and soldiers."

"Comrade Commander is right." Sidolin echoed from the side: "Colonel Braginski, when you negotiate with these Avengers, you must emphasize to them that the prerequisite for us to support them is not to hurt them." Innocent German civilians can only be targeted at German guards who committed serious crimes in concentration camps."

   "Understood, Comrade Commander." Braginsky stood up and said to Sokov, "I will convey your meaning to the Avengers."

After Braginski left, Ponejielin reminded Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I think the serial actions of the Polish Avengers should not only happen in the 109th Infantry Division. Why didn't other divisions report it? What about this?"

"Chief of Staff," Sokov heard Ponegelin's words, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If the Avengers really went to all his troops to connect in series, and the commander of the troops did not report the matter, It is their dereliction of duty. Thinking of this, he told Sidolin: "Call the commanders of the divisions immediately and ask them if there are any Avengers who have joined their troops in series. If so, why didn't they report it?"

After the phone call, Sidolin told Sokov with a serious expression: "Comrade Commander, you guessed right, people from the Avengers did go to all our troops in series. But after they were discovered, they immediately I was directly driven away, and the military chief of the army thought it was just a trivial matter, so he didn't report it to you."

"It's outrageous, it's simply outrageous." Sokov couldn't help but get angry after hearing this: "There are non-governmental organizations that have joined forces with our army and plan to use their own methods to deal with the Germans. This is not a trivial matter. Next Once the commander discovers this situation, he must report it to us immediately, so that we can also know what to do."

"I understand, Comrade Commander." Sidolin nodded and said, "I will call the commanders of the divisions again and convey your meaning to them. If there are people from the Avengers who come to the army to fight In series, we must let them report as soon as possible."

Taking advantage of Sidolin's call again, Ponejielin leaned over and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I think this kind of situation should not only exist in our army group, but also in the entire front army. Condition."

   Hearing what Ponejielin said, Sokov felt that it was necessary for him to report this situation to Rokossovsky, and by the way, find out if the friendly troops encountered such a situation.

  When Rokossovsky received a call from Sokov, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Misha, what do you want from me?"

"Comrade Marshal, something has happened here, I think it is necessary to report to you." Then Sokov sent the Avengers Alliance organized by the Jews to join forces in series, hoping to get support, so that they can Destroy more Germans and avenge the dead compatriots.

"Ah, there is such a thing?" Rokossovsky was stunned when he heard it: "Misha, this is the first time I have heard of it. I will ask the chief of staff to contact the various armies later and report to them Get to know the specifics."

  After a short pause, Rokossovsky asked again: "Misha, how did you deal with this matter after you found out?"

"I said that I can provide these avengers with weapons and equipment, and when the time is right, send out organized troops to support them." Sokov said: "But I also put forward a condition for them, that is, the revenge they take Actions should only be taken against those German guards who committed crimes in the concentration camps, not ordinary German civilians."

"Your approach is correct." Rokossovsky affirmed the measures taken by Sokov: "These avengers are full of hatred for the Germans. If we can let them go deep into the enemy's defense zone, we will I believe they will be able to turn the enemy's rear upside down. By then, it may have some positive impact on our next East Prussian offensive."

But Rokossovsky also reminded Sokov: "However, we have to control a degree. After all, there are British people behind this organization to support them. Once their strength is too large, we may not be able to Control them, understand?"

   "Don't worry, Comrade Marshal." Sokov naturally understood what Rokossovsky was worried about, and quickly assured him, "I will control the speed and never let the situation get out of control."

Sokov put down the phone and said to Ponejerin and Sidolin: "Comrade Marshal generally supports our response measures. However, he also raised a question. The Avengers organization is supported by the British. If their strength becomes too large, I am afraid they will lose control, so when we support them, we must consider controlling their scale and prevent them from becoming too large."

"You're right, Comrade Commander." Ponejerin was deeply touched by Sokov's statement: "The uprising in Warsaw was controlled remotely by the British, and the news was strictly blocked from us. As a result The rebel army fought against the Germans in Warsaw for a month and a half. They couldn’t fight the Germans, so they asked us for help through London. If the Avengers organization becomes too large, I worry that the situation during the Warsaw Uprising will repeat itself.”

"Then we should formulate a charter." Sidolin said: "Stipulate the number of members of the Avengers organization operating in our area, to prevent them from expanding blindly, so that in the later stage, the organization becomes huge, and we will completely lose them. Take control."

  Sokov thought for a while and replied: "I think the number of Avengers members operating in our area cannot exceed one hundred people. What do you think?"

   "I agree." Sidolin first expressed his approval of Sokov's proposal: "The size of a hundred people is only equivalent to a company, and we can completely control them."

"Well, about a hundred people." Pornegerin thought for a while, and agreed to Sokov's proposal: "Anyway, they are not fighting the Germans face to face. It is useless if there are too many people. They set a limit of one hundred. Comrade Chief of Staff," he turned to Sidolin, "you draft a document as soon as possible, send someone to Colonel Braginski, and ask him to bring this document when he talks with the Avengers. Show the file to the other party."

"Comrade Chief of Staff, you have to tell Colonel Braginski." Sokov said: "After reading this document, the people of the Avengers must report to us in a timely manner. So that we can know what to expect.”
