Captain Rudolf von Ribbentrop walked to a Russian girl on the side of the road with short hair, thin clothes, a somewhat sturdy look, and a passable face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He noticed that the girl was trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was because she was cold because she wore too little clothes, or because she was hungry because she hadn't eaten for many days? In short, Captain Ribbentrop was moved by compassion.

"Girl," Ribbentrop said to the girl with a smile and in stiff Russian, "it's for you." ”

Then he handed over a 100-gram box of Scarlett brand energy chocolates.

Zoya found that there was an extra box of what looked like candy in her outstretched right hand, and she was stunned for a moment, what was going on? Why should the enemy give themselves food? Do you want to buy yourself? Or do you want to have a good time with yourself? Although this guy is reactionary, he still looks good

"Don't be afraid, girl," said Ribbentrop, who had already noticed that the girl in front of him seemed to be a little frightened, and said with a smile, "it will be fine, and life will be better when the Bolshevik Party is defeated." ”

"Thank you, thank you" Zoya had already reacted at this time, the box of candy was the fruit of her own labor. Although she didn't understand what Ribbentrop meant by saying a lot of "German-Russian", she said "thank you" anyway, again in German.

"Do you know German?" Ribbentrop also switched to German, "That's great. ”

"Yes, it's taught in school." Zoya said.

"That's a good thing you said, it's very accurate." Ribbentrop said in slow German, "You must have done well in school, right?" Judging by your age, you must be a college student, right? ”

"I'm not," Zoya shook her head. "I didn't get in."

I shouldn't be allowed to get in!

"Then you can try again." Ribbentrop said, "Pskov State Pedagogical University and Petrograd Royal State University are now recruiting students, as long as you can get in, you will have food and housing, and you don't have to pay tuition, you might as well try it." ”

Pskov State Pedagogical University is a local university of the Pskov region, founded in 1874. Petrograd Royal State University is the oldest university in Russia and one of the best in the world. The university was founded in 1724 by order of Peter the Great. However, the current name of this university should be Leningrad State University, which is Zoya's dream institution of higher learning!

However, Ribbentrop's words sounded like a bolt from the blue to Zoya's ears.

"Petrograd Royal State University? Could it be that Leningrad has become Petrograd? Zoya looked nervously at the handsome German guy in front of her.

Petrograd Imperial State University or Leningrad State University is located in the center of Petrograd, across the Neva River from the Winter Palace.

If this school had now become the Petrograd Imperial State University, wouldn't it have turned glorious Leningrad into Her Majesty's faithful Petrograd?

Zoya's heart suddenly became numb. Leningrad has become Petrograd, and the Romanov dynasty is really going to be restored!

"Not yet," said Ribbentrop, shrugging his shoulders, "but soon, Leningrad has been under siege for nearly a year, food reserves are close to depletion, and the mass eviction of peaceful residents has recently begun." Many teachers and their families of Petrograd Royal State University were also evicted, and Her Majesty the Empress took them into custody in the Tsarskoye Village, and the Catherine Palace was used as a temporary site for the Petrograd Royal State University. ”

Zoya didn't fully understand what he said, but she understood to the effect that Leningrad looked like it was about to fall, and that the reactionary empress had even begun to prepare to educate the rebel successor!

What can I do?

Just when Captain Rudolf von Ribbentrop called it a "traffic jam", he accosted the Russian girl Zoya. On another road from Velikiye Luki to Smolensk, Brandt, a sniper of the 3rd Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht, was advancing in a half-track armored vehicle, the anti-war socialist Brandt, who had infiltrated the Nazi camp and received the Iron Cross for his outstanding performance in the Battle of Warsaw, and entered the Wehrmacht sniper school in Tsosen, where he received sniper training.

After graduating from the Tsosen Wehrmacht Sniper School, he did not return to his original unit, but was assigned to the 3rd Panzer Division, a well-known elite unit in the Wehrmacht, as a sniper squad of the Fire Support Platoon of the 9th Panzergrenadier Company of the 3rd Panzergrenadier Regiment.

There were four snipers and four assistants in his sniper squad, one of who, the squad leader, Sergeant Schmidt, and a corporal named Hanstold, and the last one was Joseph Meyer, a senior soldier of Jewish descent from the Baltic states.

The four men were now sitting in a half-track, swaying along the road towards the place where the dense artillery fire had come from.

On both sides of the road, there were also many Russians begging for food, mostly women, but also some old people, all in rags and numbness, standing on the side of the road, staring at the boundless convoy of the 3rd Panzer Division.

"How so? If it wasn't for the promulgation of the land reform edict, why is it still called Hanako everywhere? Brandt looked sympathetically at the Russians on the side of the road and said with some emotion.

"Normal." Joseph Meyer said.

He held a 42 paratrooper rifle sniper wrapped in a sleeve and could choose one of the 42 and the Mauser 98 as his weapon, and his eyes were only fixed on the girls on the side of the road.

The other 2 snipers and 4 sniper assistants on the halftrack were dozing off, and no one paid attention to the conversation between Brandt and Meyer.

"How can it be normal?" Brandt frowned and said, "After allocating land and exempting from agricultural taxes for three years, how can there be no bread to eat?" ”

"Where is it so easy to farm?" Meyer's family was a Baltic rich peasant, and he was an expert in running farms: "Farming requires not only land, but also labor, farm tools, livestock, seeds, irrigation facilities, good weather, a good business mind, and of course, a stable environment."

And what do the Russians have now? Except for land, there is nothing else. Herbert Brandt, how many strong laborers have you seen along the way? I don't think there's any. And horses, have you ever seen a Russian common man with a horse? Nor is it? ”

At the same time as the empress issued the edict of land reform, she was also desperately expanding her white army! And the Pskov Oblast is the only relatively consolidated base of the White Russian government, so almost all the male strong laborers here are conscripted by the White Army, and the Red Army has also recruited a lot before.

As for the horse collective farms, there were not many horses in the first place, and they were all taken away when the Red Army retreated, but some tractors remained, but now these tractors are scrap metal. On the one hand, there is no way to distribute tractors to farmers, and individual farmers cannot afford to use them, and on the other hand, there is no oil for tractors.

Moreover, at the time of last year's autumn harvest, the southern part of the Pskov region was not completely occupied by the German and White Russian troops, and many collective farms did not organize the autumn harvest, allowing a large number of crops to rot in the ground, which caused this year's spring famine.

The same situation exists in Western Belarus and Right-Bank Ukraine! Agricultural production, which has been destroyed by the brutal war and social change from public ownership to private ownership, is unlikely to be restored in the short term. Much of the land allocated to private individuals has been abandoned, and the people who remain depend on wheat imported from South America and Egypt by the European Community. And because the Russian Empire is not a member of the European Community, it has no relief for the time being, so there are so many people who ask for food.

However, the Russian Empress Olga herself didn't care how many subjects were asking for food, anyway, she had already exempted all the taxes she could. The people below will find a way to survive on their own, and it is said that this part of Russia has never starved to death!

On April 30, when the Germans began shelling and air strikes. The empress, who desperately wanted to return to Petrograd, wrote many letters to several Red Army generals in Petrograd in the Alexander Palace near Leningrad, Petrograd, and made wishes to them, some to the generals of the German Army Group North, praising their bravery and contribution to the revival of the Russian Empire, and promising to confer Russian titles of nobility on them after the capture of Petrograd, and some to some of the most influential German entrepreneurs. There are also two letters to Hessman and Chloe inviting them to participate in the exploitation of Russia's oil resources, one to Hersman and Chloe, the one to whom Hersman is very quiet and ambiguous, and the one to Chloe proposing to marry Elisabeth, the only daughter of Prince Yusupov and Princess Irina, to Rudolf, the son of Hesman

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the Empress's letter was almost finished. At this time, the commander of her Guards, Prince Yusupov, walked briskly into her office, holding in his hand a telegram he had just received from the Wehrmacht General Staff on the war situation.

"Your Majesty, good news! The 3rd Panzergrenadier Division of the Wehrmacht and the 5th Panzergrenadier Division of the SS had just broken through the Velykaya and Pripyat rivers, tributaries of the Dnieper, on the banks of which the famous Chernobyl nuclear power plant was located. ”

"Broke through the Pripyat River?" Olga knew that the Germans would attack the Velikaya River from the south of Veliki, but did not know that they would break through to the Pripyat River. "In what position? Belarus or Ukraine? ”

"In the vicinity of Kyiv in Ukraine." "Then the Germans will break through to the east bank of the Dnieper and go north to Smolensk, so that the Red Army in the Belarusian salient will be encircled." "To be continued.
