Rokossovsky returned to his office, and in front of the phone, thinking about the ongoing fighting, casually asked Bogolyubov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, how is the fighting situation in Danzig and Gdynia?" ”

"I just asked," Bogolyubov hurriedly replied, "although the Germans continue to resist, our army has completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and it is only a matter of time before the city is taken." ”

Rokossovsky let out an "oh" after listening, grabbed the high-frequency phone on the table, and prepared to dial. Seeing that he really planned to contact Moscow, Bogolyubov hurriedly reminded kindly: "Comrade Marshal, you really want to ...... that or something"

"Don't pick the disc!" Rokossovsky saw that the other party couldn't remember the name of the flying machine, so he reminded him.

"Yes, yes, it's the Belon Disc that!" Bogolyubov continued: "The figures Bach is talking about are unbelievable. Is it appropriate that what he confessed hastily reported to the Supreme Commander himself before it was confirmed? ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Chief of Staff." Others may not know about the Beloncai disc, but Rokossovsky has been famous for a long time, but it is a pity that the German army destroyed all three model machines before the end of the war, so that future generations did not have the opportunity to see their true face, and can only learn about this advanced aircraft that once appeared through some captured materials. Rokossovsky's rush to report to Stalin was the desire to act decisively and seize these model machines before the Germans destroyed them. Therefore, he resolutely said: "I think Bach is not lying, and if we do not report it to Comrade Stalin immediately, we will regret it in the future." ”

High-frequency telephones could not directly dial the number of Stalin's office, and had to be transferred through the Kremlin's switchboard, and Rokossovsky was worried that the operator would misunderstand, so as soon as he heard someone talking, he said bluntly: "I am Marshal Rokossovsky, please help me pick up the office of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, I have an important situation to report." ”

When the operator heard that it was Rokossovsky calling, he dared to slack off and hurriedly connected to Boskoshheadev's office. Poskoslebeshev heard Rokossovsky's voice, politely greeted him, and asked the other party what was going on, as ruled, in order to decide whether the call should be transferred to Stalin's office.

"Comrade Boskrebeshev," Rokossovsky knew very well in his heart what important thing he was going to report to Stalin, so instead of greeting him, he said bluntly: "I have something of special importance, which I should report to Comrade Stalin immediately." ”

Boskrebeshev glanced up at the wall clock on the wall, and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to the eleventh position, and he knew that Stalin was lying on the bed in the room next to the office at the moment, and he could not disturb it if it was not a particularly important matter. Therefore, he said tentatively: "Comrade Marshal, if it is about the war in East Pomerania, I suggest that you wait until tomorrow to call Comrade Stalin, who is already asleep at the moment." ”

"No, Comrade Boskrebeshev." Rokossovsky was afraid that there would be many dreams at night, and if the matter dragged on until tomorrow, he did not know what variables would appear, so he urged: "My matter is very important and needs to be reported to Comrade Stalin immediately." He was deeply afraid that Poskolebeshev would push back again, and he made a point of emphasizing, "If I am not mistaken, in a little while, Beria will go to see Comrade Stalin, who is also for the same thing." ”

Hearing Rokossovsky mention Beria, Boskrebeshev realized that the matter was not simple, and hurriedly replied: "Comrade Marshal, please wait a moment and do not hang up." ”

After saying these words, Boskrebeshev put the microphone on the table, got up and pushed open the door, and walked into the office. He came to a halt at the door of Stalin's sleeping room, knocked softly on the door, and heard someone inside shouting "Come in!" He pushed open the door and walked in.

After the door was pushed open, Stalin, who was lying on the bed in Kimono, looked at Poskorebeshev who walked in, and asked with some displeasure: "What is the matter?" ”

"Comrade Stalin," Poskorebeshev quickly replied respectfully, "Marshal Rokossovsky called you and said that there was something important to report to you. ”

"Is it for the war in East Pomerania?"

"It's not!" If it was only for the sake of the war in East Pomerania, even if he borrowed the courage to give Boskrebeshev, he did not dare to disturb Stalin's rest, and he hastened to explain: "Marshal Rokossovsky did not say what exactly happened, but he specifically mentioned that Comrade Beria will soon come to visit you for the same thing. ”

In Stalin's mind, Rokossovsky and Beria had nothing to do with each other, and now that the two of them would disturb their rest for the same thing, something great must have happened. Thinking of this, Stalin hurriedly sat up and instructed Boskorybeshev: "Transfer Rokossovsky's phone to my office." Boskrebeshev agreed, quickly turned around and walked out quickly.

Stalin bent down and put on his boots, walked out of the room slowly, came to his desk, took the microphone and put it to his ear, and said in a deep voice: "Is it Comrade Rokossovsky?" I am Stalin! ”

"Hello, Comrade Stalin." Rokossovsky heard Stalin's voice coming from the earpiece, and hurriedly said respectfully: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but what I want to report to you is too important." ”

"Konstantin Konstantinovich!" After Stalin waited for Rokossovsky to finish speaking, he instinctively asked: "I want to ask, did you call me at this time about the war in East Pomerania?" ”

"It has nothing to do with the war in East Pomerania." Rokossovsky explained: "We were in the city where the headquarters of the Front Army was located two days ago, and we captured a spy. ”

"Spy?!" When Stalin learned that Rokossovsky had called him for the sake of a spy, he said with some dissatisfaction: "East Pomerania was originally the territory of the Germans, why are there spies of theirs?" ”

"Comrade Stalin, after interrogation, the spy's name is Bach, and he is a German-American." Rokossovsky continued: "He was not a spy for the Germans, but a commercial spy sent by the American North American Air Force to the German military-industrial complex. After interrogation, he revealed an important piece of information to us. ”
