Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 617: Thames

After the end of the Battle of Berlin, the Anti-Fascist Allies have already negotiated the issue of the trial of war criminals, and the corresponding international judicial bodies are also in the process of being set up. There are also action arrangements to hunt down, but war criminals like that are generally of relatively high positions and reputation. There are also some grassroots officers who have committed war crimes in the Alliance or in Britain, France and other places. The relevant victim countries need to be held accountable.

The series of SS members sentenced to hang by Kyiv this time are basically all school-level officers, not even a general. For such grassroots officers, of course, the international level will not pay much attention to their crimes. Nor is it eligible to go to an international court. But having said that, Ukrainians will not forget these guys, especially the dozens of SS officers who were executed this time.

According to the previous report submitted by Comrade Khrushchev to Moscow, some of the forty-four German SS officers executed this time participated in the massacre in Kyiv's Babi Valley in 1941. Having personally participated in the execution, their crimes have been exposed by the original survivors, which can be described as conclusive evidence. Another part was involved in the "Fortified Walls and Wilderness" operation when the German army retreated. It was under their direct command that a large number of farmlands, factories and dams in Ukraine were burned and destroyed. Their evil alliance caused irreversible damage to Ukraine. huge loss.

Therefore, Comrade Khrushchev believes that for these heinous war criminals, the alliance must give them public trials and public executions, otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the anger among the Ukrainians.

There is some discrepancy with the propaganda of later generations. Today's alliance is still very cautious on the issue of executing prisoners of war. Although the alliance has not signed the Geneva Convention to protect the rights and interests of prisoners of war, as a member of the alliance, in recent years, the alliance has paid attention to international public opinion. It is still relatively high, so a series of decisions made by Moscow will take into account the issue of international influence.

However, on the issue of this execution, the attitudes of all parties in Moscow have maintained a high degree of consensus. Most importantly, Comrade Stalin's opinion is also very clear, that the execution should not only be public, but must also be High profile, consistent with the attitude towards German prisoners of war in the past few years, that is, the Union recognized that the Wehrmacht should be treated as prisoners of war, but did not recognize the status of SS members as prisoners of war. Therefore, SS members could not enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, they were all prisoners of war. Criminals are demons, and it is the alliance's duty to execute them.

In this way, Kyiv carried out this joint execution, and hung the bodies of SS members all over the central square of Kyiv.

The staff of the Central International Department thought the report of The Times was very important, so they sent it to Victor as soon as possible, but in Victor's opinion, if The Times wanted to throw dirty water on Moscow through this issue, Their calculations are probably wrong. If nothing else, this report does not need the Alliance to refute at all. Later, some people will stand on the side of the Alliance and criticize the position of The Times, and the first to jump out is definitely those controlled by the Jewish group. 's media.

Now, the alliance and the UK are indeed on the opposite side of competition, and the struggle between the two sides is gradually becoming more obvious, especially after Churchill delivered the so-called "Iron Curtain Speech", I believe that the struggle between the two countries will be more in the future. White-hot.

At the same time, the opponents of the British are not just an alliance. They also stand on the opposite side of the Americans on the issue of the Middle East, and those Jews who are planning to establish a state in Palestine regard the British as their own. The biggest obstacle on the road.

As a result, there is a problem with this report by The Times. It actually opposes the Soviet Union's execution of those SS devils who slaughtered Jews in blood, and it also upholds a position against the establishment of a Jewish state. The combination of the two seems to be able to achieve To draw a conclusion, as a newspaper, The Times's position in supporting Nazi Germany has obviously remained unchanged, and they are still fans of fascism, at least in terms of anti-Semitism.

So what happens next? Needless to say, Ben Gurion and his followers will surely seize this opportunity to climb the position of The Times to the head of No. 10 Downing Street, thereby creating more pressure on the British government.

From this point of view, the article in "The Times" will not cause much trouble to the alliance, but it will cause a lot of trouble for the British government. I just don't know if Mr. Attlee will be in trouble for this. Liver fire.

After just briefly reading the photocopied newspaper, Victor folded it and stuffed it back into the file bag. Then, he turned sideways, glanced at General Vlasik, and said with a smile, "Okay, Nicholas. Gula, I'm going back to the office, if you have time, you can go to my place for two drinks."

General Vlasic also has his own office in this office building, which is in the room on the second floor opposite the stairs, but he rarely stays in his office, but spends most of his time in the armory. The guard room is on duty, after all, it is the command center of the Kremlin guards.

"Definitely," with a gesture towards Victor, General Vlaschke said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Vlasic, Victor returned to his office. After going out for a short walk, his energy level was a little bit stronger, but the lack of sleep was impossible to improve. The whole person still felt that his brain was dead, and his eyes felt particularly bright when he saw everything, and the light was dazzling. .

He made himself another cup of coffee and held it in his hands. After returning to his desk, Victor yawned and was about to bend over to sit on the chair when he heard the phone on the table rang.

This time, he judged very quickly. It was the red phone that rang from Comrade Stalin's office.

He quickly took the telephone receiver and put it to his ear, Victor said, "Comrade Stalin, I am Victor."

"Come to my office, Victor," Comrade Stalin said simply, coming out of the receiver with a clearly tired voice, "remember to bring your record book, maybe there is something you need to record."

"Okay, Comrade Stalin, I'll go up now." Victor responded.

Hanging up the phone, Viktor simply cleaned up, and according to Comrade Stalin's order, he brought a notebook with him.

Comrade Stalin's office was filled with thick smoke, and the pale blue smoke hung over the roof, as if something was on fire in the room.

Except for a few special people around him, Comrade Stalin generally does not allow others to smoke in his office. However, today's situation is a bit special, because not only a few comrades from the Politburo are present, but also the military's All the bigwigs have also arrived. In addition, there are several comrades from the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs. There are more than 20 people in the office, most of them are smokers. Comrade Stalin cannot allow some of them. Smoking, but not allowing other people to smoke.

There are more than 20 people, only need to smoke a cigarette, don't think about staying in this room.

When Victor walked into the office, everyone in the room was standing or sitting, all looking at the display stand with the map on it, where Comrade Vasilevsky was holding a pointer and pointing at the map on the map. A certain position, while explaining to the crowd.

Victor tiptoed over, first nodded slightly to the people who came over, and said hello, then went straight to the window, opened the originally closed windows one by one, and let the cigarettes out.

After all these things were done, he turned around and found a better position to listen to Comrade Vasilevsky's explanation.

Hanging on the map platform is a military map of the Korean peninsula, which marks the garrison of the Soviet army and the US military in several major locations on the peninsula, as well as the setting of airports and ports. The place where Comrade Vasilevsky pointed with the pointer was the area of ​​Sicang-ri in Gangwon-do, North Korea.

Shicangli is a place name. It is located near the thirty-eighth-degree dividing line, at the southern foot of the Guangzhou Mountains. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the dividing line between North and South Korea.

In Shicangli, the Soviet army stationed a regiment of troops, and in Yunchuan, nearly 20 kilometers away from its right flank, there was also a heavy artillery battalion attached to it, and there was a North Korean garrison that was formed soon and lacked weapons and equipment. The size of the troops is about 3,000 people.

Prior to this, to be precise, after the 25th Army Group advanced to Pyongyang and gave up its plan to continue southward, the First Front Army Command of the Far East issued an order to the North Korean side, requiring all The armed forces disbanded on their own, and as a result, the North Korean Volunteer Army, which had been operating in Northeast China, was directly banned. It was not until last October, with the approval of Moscow, that some former North Korean volunteer cadres began to disperse to various parts of North Korea, and began to recruit soldiers and form North Korean garrison troops. However, at present, there is only one railway protection unit that is really formed and has a certain combat effectiveness, which is specially responsible for guarding the railway line from Pyongyang to the border between China and North Korea.

According to the introduction of Comrade Vasilevsky, the North Korean garrison stationed on the front line of Yunchuanli was originally intended to be used to protect the road, but now the General Staff has a new plan, hoping to use this force to help from On the front line of Shichangri, a tentative attack was launched to the south of Korea.
