Chapter 30: Interrogation

Wheeler took off his monocle, turned his face to MΓΌller, who was sitting next to him, smiled and nodded.

"Guards! Take this person down. ”

Mueller gave the order to the guards in a loud voice. Under the pitying and contemptuous gaze of the three German generals, the partisan officer, curled up in a folding chair and trembling like chaff, was dragged out of the tent by two storm commandos.

"What do you think, Chief of Staff?" Hans said to Willle as he flipped through the interrogation transcript.

"Look, General Hans." Wierle pulled out a delicate silver cigarette case from his pocket, and took a cigarette from it and put it on his ivory cigarette holder.

"Oh, I think this captive is all true, I've never seen a prisoner as cooperative as the one before. Whatever you ask, I don't know whether to praise him or spurn him when I encounter such a cowardly enemy. ”

"Hahaha, my Hans, you're right, but you should think of how good it would be if our enemies were made up of this kind of goods, and how much trouble it would have saved us. It's a pity that this is just a dream, and there are not many of our enemies who are as spineless as before, but more diehards who would rather die than give in. MΓΌller said with a smile as he spoke, then took a cigarette from the cigarette case that Wierle handed him.

"Mueller is right." Werler took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, took a slow puff, then looked at Hans and continued: "What we need now is this kind of undetermined enemy, and no one likes his enemy to be strong and unyielding. The best example of this is the man who said that what he explained is very important to us, and if he is a strong-willed person, although it may arouse our respect, he will also be more harmful to us. I think you know what I mean. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Hans replied with a nod.

"Now it's time for us to come and see that little Polish girl, and hopefully she'll give me a satisfactory answer." Werler took a deep puff of his cigarette and then said to the guards, "Now go and bring the Polish captive." Also, don't let the captives sit idle, let them dig a pit and bury the bodies. The taste is really unpleasant. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The two commandos saluted and ran out as fast as they could. After a while, there was a fierce shouting and scolding of German soldiers outside the tent.

"Report to the general, take the prisoners."

The guards at the door opened the curtain, and two commandos carried Sharon into the tent.

"Let her sit down."

Weierle coldly ordered, and both MΓΌller and Hans looked at the Polish girl in front of them with cold eyes.

"Sit down!" The two commandos roughly pressed Sharon to the folding chair and stepped aside, their submachine guns pointed at the somewhat stubborn captive.

If someone familiar with Sharon was present, he couldn't believe that it would be the girl he knew who was sitting on the folding chair in the middle of the tent. Now Sharon's appearance is simply embarrassed to the extreme, not to mention the smoke and dust on her face, the coagulated blood on her forehead and the swollen cheeks show the injuries that this girl has suffered in front of the three German generals, of course, one of them is responsible for the swollen cheeks, although it is self-defense, but seeing a young girl do this, that person now regrets that he was too heavy just now.

"Your name is ......," Werler looked at the record in Hans's hand.

"Sharon. Gusta: yes. Wehrle put down the record and looked up at Sharon, staring at Sharon and asked. Sharon looked back at Wheeler without fear, and it seemed that she had completely calmed down now. The Polish girl proudly puffed out her chest and looked at the three German generals in front of her in mighty military uniforms without saying a word, her eyes full of hatred.

"Your name is Sharon. Gusta? Ignoring the cruelty in the girl's eyes, Werler continued to ask in a coherent manner. Sharon remained silent, and it was not surprising that Weirle had reacted to the girl, he had expected this to be the outcome.

"Very well, it looks like it's your name." Weirle smiled and nodded, then picked up the confession of the partisans in front of him.

"You are Shulenitsev. The guerrillas of La Quint, numbering 124 men, are in your nest near the village of Tezpur, thirty kilometers west of here. This time you have received the wrong information that a large convoy is going to pass through here to deliver supplies to the Surenstkar Army, so you have set out to ambush this convoy and rob you of the supplies you are currently in short supply. Now your entire team is here, except for the twenty or so who remained in the village, and unfortunately most of them are now cold corpses. You are the best sniper in your guerrilla unit, and you are close to your captain Laquent, you have participated in the planning and execution of all attacks, and you are a de facto member of the command structure of your guerrillas. Do you have anything to add to what I'm talking about? ”

Wheeler read the confession in his nonchalant tone, but it sent a huge wave through Sharon's heart. Sharon was deeply taken aback by Werler's words, she didn't expect that the German general in front of her would have such a detailed grasp of her and the partisans. Since she had been locked up alone in a baggage truck, she did not know that the other guerrilla officers had already confessed everything during the interrogation, and Weierle's words shook her heart. Faced with the German general in front of him, who seemed to know everything, Sharon subconsciously felt a fear that she had never felt before.

Looking at Sharon's eyes that widened with surprise after listening to his words, Wheeler continued with a smile, "Miss Gusta, or I can call you Sharon." You don't have to answer my questions, and in fact I don't expect any information from your mouth. According to the information I have now, you are a very individual, very stubborn girl. It reminds me of my daughter, who, though only eleven years old, has the same fierce temper as you. As soon as I saw you, it was like seeing her grow up. ”

Wehrle took another cigarette out of the case, then smiled at Sharon and asked, "Is that okay?" But before Sharon could reply, Wheeler had already lit his own cigarette, and after a long puff of smoke, Wheeler continued to say in his nonchalant tone: "Sharon, now we don't want to know anything from you, because we know what you know, and we know what you don't know." You don't have the information we need in your head. ”

Sharon was confused by Werler's words, since the Germans already knew everything, why did they bring themselves here for interrogation, but she still didn't show what she was thinking, she still looked at the German general coldly and didn't say a word.

"You must be wondering why we're interrogating you now. Actually, I just wanted to see what the girl who almost destroyed Poland was like. I don't mean anything else, I'm very happy with your performance. Well, the guards could take the young lady out and let her dig a pit with the other captives to bury their comrades, which she should have been very skillful, and she had almost dug the graves for all the Poles. ”

Wierle's face changed and he looked at Sharon with a cold gaze, a sneer of contempt at the corners of his mouth. The two commandos hurriedly stepped forward to lift Sharon from the chair, and then dragged the girl with a blank expression towards the outside of the tent.

"Wait a minute." Sharon struggled with the strong arms of the two commandos, and she finally broke the silence and called out to Wheeler.

"Wait, bring her back." Willle coldly gave the order to the guards.

When Sharon sat back in the folding chair, Werler asked faintly, "Miss, is there anything else you want to say to us?" ”

Sharon replied loudly: "I don't have much to say to you, I just want to ask you a question, what do you mean by saying earlier that I almost destroyed Poland." Do you still have Poland in your eyes? ”

"Oh, that's what you're asking, but miss, you speak German very well, where did you learn it, are you Germanic?" Nevertheless unhurriedly, Werler asked, in fact, he was already satisfied with the present state of affairs, and that being able to communicate with such a seemingly resistant prisoner without torture was a great victory for him, and now the shrewd chief of staff wanted to extend his victory.

"I studied German literature at the University of Warsaw, and I'm Polish, not Germanic." Sharon felt her momentum suddenly suppressed by the German general, she knew that she shouldn't have spoken to those Germans, but she was now really curious why the Germans said that she had almost ruined Poland.

"Oh, see I'm answering your question with you being so cooperative. The bullet you fired almost bleeds the whole of Poland, and if it were a little worse, Poland could have been razed to the ground. Willer then flicked the ash of his cigarette and took a puff before continuing: "You almost killed the only great leader who can save the world. He was an idol in the hearts of all the armed forces of Germany. In order to avenge him, the German ** team will throw the entire Polish nation into hell, and Poland will completely disappear from the face of the earth for that bullet of yours. I'm not kidding you, this kind of thing can definitely happen. So you can rejoice that you didn't become the culprit in the destruction of Poland. Your crimes are enough to put you to death after all the torture in the world. You are still alive because of him, and no one has the right to deal with those who hurt him. ”

Sharon was stunned by Werler's words, she felt that the words of this German general, who seemed to be very cunning, were very unreliable, but she also felt that maybe it might be true, because she saw a high-ranking German general being carried out of the command car, maybe she really hit some terrible big man, but the Germans would destroy Poland for a general, she felt a little sensational.

"You must be thinking I'm scaring you, I'm not in the mood to joke with you. I can't tell you who you shot and wounded, but I'm sure every German here is willing to die for him. Weierle said slowly in a cold and extremely evil tone: "You will pay for your crimes, not only you, although that person has nothing to do now, but it is already a heinous felony to let him be injured, and all the villages and residents within a radius of one hundred kilometers will be severely punished by the German ** team because of you." You will take full responsibility for their deaths. ”

"No, you murderers, you can't do that." Sharon was stunned by Werler's words, a radius of 100 kilometers, at least 100 villages and tens of thousands of villagers, this German general actually said lightly that he would kill them all, are the Germans really inhumane?

"Nope! We can do that, and we have enough right and enough strength to do so. They are the ones you killed, the revenge of your stupid ambushes, the villages will be razed, everyone will be sent to concentration camps, and those who have helped you will be executed on the spot. It's all because of you. Weirle sneered and said: "From the point of view of the country of Poland, you are worthy of being patriots, but from the point of view of us cruel and ruthless occupiers, you are just some hateful saboteurs, and your current actions will not only not help your country, but will cause your country more harm to it." ”

"No, it's not. I am fighting for the Polish temptation, I am fighting for the innocent civilians you killed and the brave soldiers who died in battle. Sharon shouted angrily.

"Calm down, Miss Sarot. I can believe other people to say that, but you're not qualified to say that, you're just bandits who come out to loot for the survival of your village. I am fully aware of all your attacks, you have never attacked German and industrial facilities, you have not attacked German armed forces passing by your villages. You're attacking ordinary convoys of goods for the towns and military operators. You then bring the looted goods back to your villages, and as far as I know, you also have close ties with some merchants in the underground black market, and a large part of the looted goods are hidden by your captain and then sold at high prices in Warsaw and other big cities for huge profits. ”

"You're being framed, Laquent is not that kind of person, we are righteous warriors who fight for the temptation." Sharon didn't believe the German general's words at all, and she was so angry that the German general had slandered Laquette who cared for and cared for her like a brother, and if it hadn't been for the two commandos holding her down in a hurry, she might have lunged at Werler by now.

"I said calm down. Miss, I don't want my soldiers to tie you up, so you'd better sit there honestly for me. Willer said as he stared coldly at Sharon.

"What I'm saying now is the truth. This is the confession of the deputy leader of your partisan detachment, Khantesov, who has clearly explained to us the true face of your partisan detachment. You are poor fellows who have been deceived by Laquente's lies, when in fact you are just a gang of robbers under the guise of fighting for the motherland. I'm amazed that you don't know anything about this, and I feel sorry for your innocence. But he also told you something about you, and it had to do with your captain Laquent, and I think you'd be interested in it. ”

Sharon was incredulous by Werler's words, but Khantesoff's confession had to convince her. Most of the things in the guerrillas are in charge of the deputy captain, and those confidential things are only known to him and the captain, plus there will always be a big discrepancy in the amount of those materials after each attack, I didn't think much about it at the time, and now it seems that there is really a possibility that it will be hidden by those members who know about it. Sharon's mind was in turmoil, and she slowly stopped struggling, gasping and looking at the German general, wanting to know what else was about her that she didn't know.

"Let her go." Wheeler gave orders to the two commandos, and then said lightly to Sharon, who was sitting there staring at him blankly, "You have an older brother named Tosval. Gusta: yes. ”

Sharon nodded blankly.

"He was an anti-tank gunner in the Polish Army, and he died on the battlefield in the battle to resist our attack."

Sharon nodded again.

"Laquent brought you your brother's weapon, and said your brother entrusted you to him."

"Yes. So what. Sharon asked, looking at Verle suspiciously.

"He's lying to you. Your brother didn't die in battle. ”

"What!" This sentence made Sharon feel as if she had been struck by lightning, and she couldn't believe her ears.

"It can't be, you lied to me."

"Why should I lie to you. I can tell you that your brother did not fight us near Warsaw at that time, he was fighting against the Russians in Kolakovin, and it was this Laquent who betrayed your brother's company, and as a result your brother was captured by the Russians. This Laquent became a spy for the Russians, and he was sent back to the German-occupied areas of Poland to collect intelligence and organize partisans to disrupt order in the German-occupied territories. And you are being used by him to hide his identity, and the vice-captain Khantysov is completely Russian. Now you know what the truth is. Your brother should now be locked up in a Russian hard labor camp, he could not be released by the Russians, and now I am worried about whether he will be able to endure such a long period of suffering. ”

"Are you telling the truth? My brother didn't die. Sharon was now extremely excited, hearing the news that her only relative might still be alive in the world made her feel like she was dreaming now, but when she thought that she was now unable to protect herself, what was the use of knowing this good news, Sharon's heart suddenly cooled. She asked Werler, "Excuse me, why are you telling me this?" I'm about to be executed by you, and knowing that his news doesn't mean anything to me. ”

"No, Miss Sharon, don't you want to live and meet your brother?"

Willle smiled with a satisfied look on his face and said, "Now I can give you a chance, I want you to cooperate with us." ”
