I let go of Commander Lin's hand, took a step back, looked at Vlasov and Crochkov, and asked in surprise: "Huh! What are you all watching me do? ”

"I heard that when you greeted Senior Commander Lin just now, you used Chinese." Vlasov was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to understand Chinese." ”

Hearing Vlasov say this, I secretly screamed in my heart: not good! To do bad things. Crochkov is a member of the NKVD, and if I do not come up with a reasonable explanation for this, he will inevitably be suspicious of me, and then my future situation will be very bad.

I coughed and said with a smile, "Where do I speak Chinese?" Then he pointed to Shi Zhe who was standing next to him: "I just memorized a few Chinese words that this translator used when introducing you just now, and then strung them together and said them." After listening to my explanation, except for Master Lin, who didn't know Russian, he was at a loss, and the other three people all had half-believing expressions. So, I deliberately asked Shi Zhe again: "Comrade translator, my pronunciation just now is still standard, right?" ”

"You just said two sentences very standardly, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would think that the Chinese were talking." After Shi Zhe finished speaking, he turned his head and quietly translated what I had just said to Master Lin.

"Sit down, everyone, please sit down!" After listening to the content translated by Shi Zhe, Master Lin nodded, looking suddenly enlightened, and then beckoned everyone to sit down.

Crochkov did not sit down, he said that his task was only to send me and General Vlasov here, and now that his mission was completed, it was time to go back to his life. Hearing him say this, Senior Commander Lin couldn't keep him, so he personally sent him to the door of the room.

Crochkov's departure made me secretly relieved, it was really dangerous just now, if I hadn't been in a hurry to make things perfunctory, I guess I would have gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for coffee tonight. It seems that in the future, I have to control my emotions, even if I am excited, I must remain absolutely calm, otherwise I will lose my life and I don't know what is going on.

After the orderly brought us a few cups of tea, Master Lin and Vlasov chatted. Before today, I didn't know who this General Vlasov was next to Lu Dao, and even now, I know very little about him. However, it seems that Division Commander Lin knows him quite well, and I happened to understand what the origin of this General Vlasov is through the conversation between the two.

"Comrade General, I heard that you have been to China once?" I was taken aback by Commander Lin's words, I didn't expect that the general next to me had actually been to China, but I never seemed to have seen his name in the history books.

"Yes, Master Lin. I went to Wuhan in 1938, the twenty-seventh year of your Republic of China, to help your Chairman Chiang train the army to resist the Japanese attack. ”

"And when did you return to the Soviet Union?"

"When I came back in November 1939, when the war between my country and the Finnish White Bandits was on the verge of breaking out, and there was a need for a large number of commanders in the army, I was transferred back from China. Shortly after my return, I was appointed commander of the 99th Infantry Division under the jurisdiction of the Kyiv Military District. In September of the following year, Marshal Timoshenko went to Kiev to inspect the troops, and he spoke highly of our division, and soon I was awarded the rank of major general and transferred to the 4th Mechanized Corps as a commander. ”

"I heard that in the Battle of Kyiv, your troops behaved very bravely and tenaciously and resolutely held off the German attack."

"Yes, you're right." Vlasov was also not modest, and accepted the praise of Division Commander Lin as a matter of course: "At that time, I took the remnants of the fighting troops and withdrew from the Przemyśl region on the Ukrainian border. The commander of the Front, General Kirponos, and Comrade Khrushchev, then a member of the Military Council of the Front, appointed me commander of the newly formed 37th Army. I took in the fighters who had retreated from the front, replenished them into the various units of the 37th Army, and quickly organized the defense. At the beginning of August, the 29th Army of the German Cole launched its first offensive on Kiev, and with the resistance of our organization, their offensive did not work. In mid-August, the German offensive southwest of Kiev was again repulsed by our army group, and we stubbornly held the frontal line of defense in Kiev. If there had been a gap between Kuznetsov's 21st Army and Podras's 40th Army on the flank, and the failure of Yeremenko's Bryansk Front's counter-assault on the Germans, Guderian's and Kleist's armored clusters would not have been able to penetrate for a long time, and Kiev would not have fallen so easily. ...... "It's the first time I've heard everything Vlasov said, so I've listened to it with relish.

After Vlasov finished telling his story, he then asked Division Commander Lin: "General Lin, do you think the Germans will occupy Moscow?" ”

"Occupy Moscow?" When Senior Commander Lin heard his question, he waved his hand disapprerovingly and said, "This is impossible. ”

"For what?" Although this is what Vlasov asked, it is also the question I want to ask. I am a man from the afterlife, and I know that Moscow will never fall. But Master Lin is not a traverser, how can he be so sure that the Soviet army will be able to hold Moscow? You must know that the Soviet army outside the city is retreating, and the German army is approaching Moscow little by little.

"Don't look at the German offensive is fierce, but it is not so easy for them to take Moscow." Master Lin smiled slightly and continued, "Besides, there is a natural ally who will help you. ”

"Natural allies? Who is it, the British or the Americans? Vlasov asked, puzzled. Listening to what Commander Lin said, I have already guessed that the "allies" he is talking about are neither Britain nor the United States, but the harsh climate of Russia.

Sure enough, Master Lin explained to Vlasov: "...... The Germans had planned to take the Soviet Union within two months, so they were not prepared for winter operations at all. Although the Germans were already under Moscow, they could not achieve their strategic goals in the short term. So with the arrival of winter, the German army, which lacked winter combat equipment and even winter clothing, was bound to pay a terrible price in the face of the bitter cold, Russia's natural ally. ”

Hearing Master Lin say this, Vlasov slapped the table and said excitedly: "You are so right! As soon as the cold came, the unprepared German troops would suffer, their guns would be frozen in the mud, the engines of the tanks would not start, and the soldiers would freeze to death in large numbers. In that case, they will have to go on the defensive, waiting for the arrival of spring. ……”

"Not bad." Division Commander Lin added: "However, with the character of Comrade Stalin, they will definitely not be allowed to wait quietly for the arrival of spring in defensive positions. He will definitely transfer a steady stream of well-equipped and combat-effective infantry divisions from Siberia to the city of Moscow, consume the vitality of the German army little by little, and launch a counterattack at the right time to completely defeat the German army! ”

After listening to Master Lin's analysis, I couldn't help but secretly my thumb under the table, I really deserve to be a generation of famous generals! The analysis is so accurate. As far as I know, Hitler had always planned to end the war before the onset of winter, so instead of urging the relevant departments to increase the production of cotton clothing, he delayed the transportation of cotton clothing to the front. Winter in Russia has been around for more than a month, and many German soldiers are still wearing summer combat uniforms. So much so that many German soldiers had to take off short fur coats from the dead Soviet soldiers to keep out the cold.

"General Lin, your military talents are also very much appreciated by Comrade Stalin. He has sent me today to convey a message to you. ”

"What words? You just say. ”

"Please stay and take part in our Great Patriotic War. Comrade Stalin said, if you are willing to stay, you can first go to my 20th Army as deputy commander and chief of staff. After you have become familiar with the troops, I will let you go to the headquarters of the Western Front and serve as Comrade Zhukov's deputy. ”

Hearing this, Master Lin was silent, just lightly tapping his fingers on the map on the table.

Seeing this expression of his, Vlasov was a little anxious, and added: "Comrade Stalin also said that if you are willing to stay, he is willing to provide the Chinese comrades in Yan'an with two divisions of weapons and equipment. "The most legend in later generations is that Stalin was willing to exchange ten divisions for him in order to keep Master Lin, and I have always believed it to be true. Only now do I understand that in fact, there are not ten divisions, but only two divisions of weapons and equipment.

Master Lin raised his head, glanced at Vlasov expressionlessly, and then lowered his head to look at the map in front of him, and continued to tap his fingers on the table.
