"Military discipline?!" As soon as he heard the words spit out of Su Bojing's mouth, Rokossovsky's pupils contracted violently, in the last life, after the Soviet army entered the territory of Germany, military discipline has been criticized by various countries, he has tried to change this situation, but at present, it seems that there is no effect, he hurriedly asked: "Comrade Military Commissar, what happened?" ”

"I went to Betuf yesterday to inspect and was in a hospital where I was comforting wounded civilians when suddenly a group of fighters broke into the hospital." Su Bojing said expressionlessly: "They took watches, jewelry, and everything of value from the patients and their families. One of the fighters came too late and didn't catch anything, so he called a doctor, made a gesture on his wrist, and then pointed his gun at the patients in the ward in turn, making a shooting gesture, meaning that if he was not given a watch, he would kill all the patients in the ward......"

"Comrade Military Commissar," Bogolyubov, who entered the room at some point, couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "Comrade Military Commissar, what happened later?" I mean, did the warrior get what he wanted? ”

"Yes, he got a watch." Su Bojing gritted his teeth and said, "The doctor was worried that he would really kill the patients in the ward, so he took off the watch he was wearing and handed it to the soldier. ”

"Bastards, a bunch of bastards." Hearing this, Rokossovsky slapped his hand heavily on the table and said loudly: "Who gave them this right to do whatever they want and do whatever they want?" They simply disgraced the face of our Soviet Red Army. Comrade Military Commissar, since you are witnessing all this, why not stop them? ”

"Comrade Marshal, when I saw this situation, I immediately ordered the accompanying fighters to control these fighters who violated military discipline and sent them to the nearby division headquarters." Su Bojing sighed and said, "Although the division commander and the political commissar have repeatedly assured me that they will deal with these soldiers who have violated discipline harshly and send them to a military court to receive the trial they deserve. But I am very worried in my heart, this situation should not be an isolated case, it may have happened in many places, but the commander below did not report it to us. If we do not put things in order, I am afraid that the military discipline of our army will be in a mess. ”

"Comrade Military Commissar, when a large corps fights, military discipline must be strict. We absolutely cannot tolerate such a serious violation of military discipline. Rokossovsky said angrily: "You and the comrades of the Political Department have drafted an order to all units, once again emphasizing the importance of military discipline, and in particular, it is necessary to propose that once the discipline of our army is violated, no matter how high the position of the violator is and how great the merit is, he will be severely punished, and those who should be removed from their posts will be dismissed, those who should be court-martialed and even sentenced to death." ”

"Okay, that's it." Before Su Bojing came here, he was worried that when he mentioned this matter to Rokossovsky, the other party would refuse him on the grounds that strict military discipline would affect morale, but he did not expect him to agree to the strengthening of military discipline so readily, and quickly stood up: "I immediately went to the Political Department to find General Okorokov and discuss with him how to draft this order. ”

After Bogolyubov waited for Su Bojing to leave, he cautiously asked Rokossovsky: "Comrade Marshal, will the rectification of military discipline at such a time have an adverse impact on the morale and morale of the troops?" ”

"Comrade Chief of Staff," Rokossovsky said in a stern tone, looking at Bogolyubov, "if we turn a blind eye to violations of military discipline and turn a deaf ear, then it will really affect the morale and morale of the troops." ”

Bogolyubov was about to say another word when the phone on his desk rang. Rokossovsky picked up the microphone, put it to his ear, and said with great majesty: "I am Rokossovsky, where are you?" ”

"It's me, Comrade Marshal!" Vinogradov's voice came from the earpiece, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "We are a step late, the old man is dead." ”

"Dead?! How did he die? Rokossovsky was angry, when he suddenly heard such bad news, and his voice couldn't help but be particularly loud: "Did you resist arrest during the capture and be killed by our fighters?" ”

"No, we didn't shoot it." Vinogradov hastened to explain: "When Colonel Shevchak rushed into the room with men, he found the old man dead on the ground, with a dagger stuck in his back, presumably stabbed from behind without defense. ”

"Did you send someone to search the neighborhood?"

"I searched, but I didn't find anything." Vinogradov cautiously said: "After examination by the military doctor, the old man was killed three hours before Shevchak and they arrived. That is, before we arrived, the murderer had already left. ”

Knowing that this clue that was not easy to find, it was interrupted in this way, Rokossovsky was particularly unwilling, and he asked with luck: "Have you learned from the neighbors next to you, the living habits of this old man, and who he usually interacts with?" ”

"The neighbors who lived next to him have all fled." Vinogradov replied: "According to Colonel Shevchak's estimate, his murderer was the one who climbed into the old man's house from the next empty room, from the balcony, and killed him while he was unprepared. ”

Rokossovsky's mind suddenly had a sense of foreboding, the Germans first exposed the spies who tried to escape with the radio through the old man; It didn't take long for someone to kill the old man, what did they want to do? You know, now that the city is in ruins, and the order is still in a state of precariousness, even if there are a large number of German spies lurking, they can't carry out an inventory at this time, why are they so desperate to get rid of the spies planted in the city?

"Comrade Marshal, Comrade Marshal!" Seeing that Rokossovsky did not speak for a long time, Vinogradov hurriedly asked: "Are you still listening?" ”

"Yes, I'm listening." Vinogradov's voice woke Rokossovsky from his contemplation, and he asked into the microphone: "General Vinogradov, what is Colonel Shevchak doing now?" ”

"He was interrogating the spy who had been captured yesterday, and he wanted to find out why the Germans had abandoned the spy so easily, and if it was really because he was carrying a large amount of dollars and trying to slip away?"

"Uh-huh, interrogate the captured spy properly." Rokossovsky said to Vinogradov: "Maybe in him we will find the answers we need." ”
