When Rokossovsky put down the phone, Bogolyubov, who was standing on the side, asked tentatively: "Comrade Marshal, what did Comrade Stalin say, did you agree with us to send someone to the city of Breslau?" ”

"I'll get back to you later." After Rokossovsky replied simply, he instructed Bogolyubov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, from the reconnaissance units directly under the Front, select elite generals to form an assault team, and prepare to go to the city of Breslau to seize the enemy's model aircraft. ”

"Comrade Marshal!" Hearing Rokossovsky's order, Bogolyubov said with some hesitation: "The Supreme Commander himself has not yet given us an answer, is it a bit hasty to organize the assault team now?" ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Chief of Staff." If Rokossovsky had just spoken to Stalin on the phone, he had doubts about whether this task would fall on his head. But when I heard Stalin say that Beria was coming to report on his work, he immediately became confident: "I believe that the Supreme Commander himself will definitely give us this task." ”

"Why?" Bogolyubov asked puzzled.

"The representative sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to our Front is General Lunev, who is a close confidant of Comrade Beria." Listening to Bogolyubov's question, Rokossovsky smiled faintly and said: "Although Zhukov also has a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as far as I know, that person seems to have some contradictions with Beria. Our special operation this time will definitely be inseparable from the assistance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you say, who will Beria give such a good deed? ”

After Rokossovsky's analysis, Bogolyubov suddenly came to his senses, he nodded and said: "That's right, if Comrade Stalin asked Beria to propose a candidate to participate in the operation, he would definitely propose to give the task to Lunev." If the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in our army had taken action, they would definitely not have let Marshal Zhukov's troops cooperate. At that time, the troops who will participate in the operation with them can only be sent by us. ”

Seeing that Bogolyubov understood his intentions, Rokossovsky looked at him and asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, since you have understood my intentions, what are you still standing here for?" Why don't you hurry up and arrange staffing? ”

"Well, I'll go now." Bogolyubov smiled in agreement, turned around and walked towards the war room next door, he was ready to immediately draw capable personnel from the reconnaissance unit to carry out this glorious mission.

After Bogolyubov left, Rokossovsky opened the drawer, took out a pack of unopened cigarettes, took out one and lit one, and began to think quietly. He remembered that the black technology of the Germans was not only the Belon Disc, but also the Ho-229 fighter-bomber, which was the first tailless flying wing jet fighter-bomber in human history. Its form and performance are quite avant-garde even today, and it is one of Germany's doomsday miracle weapon designs.

This Ho-229 fighter-bomber, the Germans also produced only three prototypes. The first was an unpowered glider, which was used only for aerodynamic verification and research, and was burned down after the defeat of Germany. The second prototype was powered, and it was the only test aircraft that had successfully flown into the blue sky, but unfortunately it was destroyed on the occasion of the third test flight.

The prototype No. 3 was not completely completed and was captured by the U.S. military after the surrender of Germany and stored in the National Air and Space Museum. In a certain movie, this prototype is also interpreted as the Decepticon "Skyfire" from outer space, which chooses to side with the Autobots led by Optimus Prime for the sake of justice, and jointly defeats the Decepticons who want to destroy the earth.

While Rokossovsky was thinking wildly, Bogolyubov happily walked from the war room into the office. When Rokossovsky saw him coming in, he quickly snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and asked casually: "Comrade Chief of Staff, are you ready to work so soon?" ”

"Not yet." After hearing this, Bogolyubov shook his head and said: "Comrade Marshal, I have good news for you. General Romanovsky has just called and said that his troops have taken Gdynia! ”

"What, Romanovsky's troops have already captured Gdynia?!" Rokossovsky's words surprised Rokossovsky, who had asked about it only an hour or two earlier, and received the reply that the enemy was still resisting, but it was only a matter of time before they were crushed. Unexpectedly, so quickly, the troops of the 19th Army completed the occupation of Gdynia, he stood up and asked Bogolyubov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, are all what you say true?" ”

"You can't be wrong, Comrade Marshal." Bogolyubov said to Rokossovsky with emotion: "I have asked General Romanovsky carefully, his troops occupied the whole city, and not just planted the red flag on the top floor of the municipal building. ”

As a high-ranking general, Rokossovsky naturally understood the traditions of the Soviet army, and when seizing such an ancient city, as long as the red flag was planted on the top of the municipal building, even if most of the city was still in the hands of the enemy, it could be regarded as the capture of the city. This was particularly evident in the Battle of Berlin shortly after, when the soldiers of the 150th Infantry Division planted the red flag in the Reichstag before Germany announced its unconditional surrender.

Rokossovsky was overjoyed to learn that Romanovsky had taken the entire city, and after saying a few good words, he continued: "The base camp is still waiting for our good news, and we should immediately report this to the Supreme Commander himself." ”

As he spoke, Rokossovsky picked up the high-frequency phone and began to dial, ready to immediately report the capture of Gdynia. But halfway through the number, he put the microphone back on the dock.

Seeing this, Bogolyubov curiously asked: "Comrade Marshal, why did you put down the phone?" ”

"Wait a minute, Comrade Chief of Staff, we will wait a little longer." After Rokossovsky sat down in his place, he looked at Bogolyubov and said: "According to my estimates, which front will send troops to the city of Breslau will soon be able to discuss a result." In my opinion, it is better to wait for Comrade Stalin to inform us of the good news when he calls us. ”

"That's right, too." Bogolyubov guessed what was on Rokossovsky's mind, nodded and said: "Comrade Stalin would be very happy if he heard this news, and he would feel that it was the most correct choice for him to let our troops carry out their tasks." ”

The two sat in the office and waited for more than half an hour, and the high-frequency phone on the desk finally rang. Rokossovsky smiled slightly, picked up the microphone, put it to his ear and said: "I'm Rokossovsky!" ”

Stalin's voice came from the earpiece: "Comrade Rokossovsky, after my study with Beria, it has been decided that your troops will be dispatched to the aircraft factory in the city of Breslau as soon as possible to seize the prototype hidden there. The operation code name is called 'Disc Project'! ”
