Olsztyn, the focal point of Europe!

When Time magazine (Time magazine was founded in 1923, to be clear, only started in 1923) used this headline to cover the new issue with Pilsudski's uniform, the story of Olsztyn immediately attracted the attention of the world. Even armistice negotiations between Germany and the Allies could not steal the limelight from Pilsudski.

In fact, even Pilsudski himself was surprised by the unexpected limelight, but it was only a small Olsztyn, a city that many Poles did not know very well, and it was simply incredible that it could attract the attention of the whole world.

Time magazine explained this: "Two months earlier, in East Prussia, a Jewish uprising had overthrown the rule of the Hohenzollerns. At that time, the whole world was exclaiming that one of the most powerful dynasties in the history of mankind had been overthrown by the weakest nation in the history of mankind. Its irony, its profound historical impact, caused tens of thousands of Jews to raise their arms and shout that the Jews had finally stood up...... However, only two months later, the head of another weak and small nation in the history of mankind, Mr. Pilsudski, an inconspicuous Pole, gave the Jews a blow in the face...... He told the Jews that if you want to rise again among the nations of the world, you Jews still have a long way to go! This stage does not belong to the Jews, but to the Poles of the new era! ”

When Pilsudski saw this issue of Time magazine, he really smiled from ear to ear, and only then did he realize that his victory was of such great significance, and that he knew that his image among the people of the world was so high. He was so satisfied with the editor who wrote this issue of Time Magazine.

"Go buy 10,000 copies of this issue of Time Magazine now. Send it to our soldiers. They must be made aware of it too. What a great significance their actions have! ”

Everyone knows that what Pilsudski really wanted the soldiers to know was how tall he was in the eyes of his foreign friends. This so-called tall image will give him a big plus in politics. A weak and small nation like Poland, which has just become independent and has just been freed from slavery, has an inferiority complex hidden in its national psychology, and they care a lot about the opinions of others, especially those neighbors who seem to be extremely powerful, and they are easy to blindly follow and be fooled.

In their very simple minds. Foreign friends feel that they think someone is good, they think someone is very good, or even just a casual word of politeness, it will greatly change their opinion of someone.

Pilsudski understands this, and is already taking advantage of it. But he didn't know that he wasn't the one who fished, but the fish that was caught.

"How much does it cost to be on the cover of Time magazine and write all this disgusting boast?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

Pavel laughed contemptuously: "The tabloid office, it doesn't cost much. If I will. You can buy it directly! ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about the political influence of Time Magazine in later generations, if he could buy this magazine at the mouthpiece level of the capitalist world. Seems good?

He smiled: "Then buy it, the battle in the field of journalism is the battlefield where you can't see the smoke of gunpowder." Sometimes whoever can dominate the discourse can lead the world. ”

In fact, Li Xiaofeng said casually that even if he could buy Time Magazine, he would not be able to compete for the right to speak in the world press circles. For the major rogue countries, the so-called freedom of the press is pure nonsense, whether it is a "conscientious" media or a "conscienceless" media, they all have a position. To be specific, whoever is the owner of the money will be on which side their position is biased. For the media, the festival is to sell it, if there is no festival to mix up a good sales, then run naked!

Especially after the First World War, with the awakening of the working class, with the needs of the communist struggle. The proletariat of various countries founded a large number of newspapers, which for a time had a great impact on the imperialist and capitalist world. This has led to the intensification of censorship in various countries, and the ideological collision in this field has become more and more intense.

All in all, most of the time, the big money owners have an absolute advantage. With the money and the support of the country's will, they can firmly control the right to speak. In other words, even if Time Magazine is very influential, if it sits crookedly, it will be besieged by a group every minute, and it will be run out of business.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng has no interest in participating in the press, he is not interested in stupidly running to find abuse, and before Russia is really strong, that kind of attempt is simply futile.

However, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Li Xiaofeng is not interested, but Pavel is interested. If it is really as someone said, the battlefield of public opinion plays such a big role, then it doesn't hurt to spend some money to invest it, and it won't cost much anyway.

Pavel would never regret this decision, and after that, after careful public opinion guidance, he helped the Jews through one difficulty after another, especially in the thirties after the Nazis came to power, and it was the power of the press that exposed the Nazi atrocities against humanity at an early stage, so that the Jews were saved from the kind of catastrophe in history.

Not only in the future, but even now, Pavel has tasted the sweetness of public opinion guidance. The Jews paid a fortune to buy off the major newspapers of various countries to sing the praises of Pilsudski, and to package the humble battle of Olsztyn as an earth-shattering victory.

It is as if the loss of the Jews of Olsztyn is already gone, and the loss of Olsztyn is equivalent to the loss of Jerusalem. It seems that for the Jewish people, the fall of Olsztyn meant the destruction of miè.

And Pilsudski, who captured Olsztyn, is the contemporary god of war, the contemporary Napoleon. Anyway, with the boasting in the newspapers, Pilsudski was indeed a little flustered, and every Pole thought that the time had come for them to shine.

"Wouldn't that be counterproductive?" Bulganin asked in a whisper.

Indeed, what if Pilsudski was overly excited, and his brain was hot, and he rushed forward with his descendants? With the intensity of this touting, this possibility is a possibility.

"Don't worry," Li Xiaofeng smiled. "Touting him just makes him get carried away. Let him flutter. Really allowed him to stay near Olsztyn. It was our troops at Danzig. ”

What does this mean? Quite simply, after blowing Pilsudski into the air, Li Xiaofeng ordered the mouthpieces of public opinion to start preaching a small rumor, that is, Danzig's Jewish Liberation Army was preparing to take advantage of Pilsudski's all-out northward advance to copy the back path of the Poles.

Anyway, civilian military experts from all walks of life have noses and eyes on this, warning and reminding Pilsudski one by one that he must guard against the sneak attack of the Jews and must not be careless in Jingzhou. If Olsztyn fails, it will be doomed.

Does Pilsudski agree with their analysis? Some agreed that if the Jews really took advantage of the emptiness of his main force to advance north into the rear with all their might, and attacked Olsztyn, seizing this transportation hub and cutting off his rear and supply routes, it would indeed be quite disadvantageous.

So, did Pilsudski have a way to deal with it? He considered two strategies, the first of which was to directly attack Danzig, exterminate the Jews there and solve all the problems at once. Let's be honest. Pilsudski was very tempted by this plan, because it would not only solve the problem in one fell swoop. You can also harvest a powerful fleet.

As far as he knew, the main force of the High Seas Fleet, which had been captured by the Jews, was still in Danzig, and the capture of Danzig meant that Poland would have a strong navy in the future. As a nationalist, a careerist dreaming of great power, the glamorous Grand Fleet had a fatal allure for Pilsudski.

With this powerful fleet, he may not only be able to defeat the feuding polar bear on land, but also be able to take advantage of it at sea. Just imagining the Baltic Fleet under pressure and beating it made Pilsudski excited.

However, excitement turned to excitement, Pilsudski still maintained a considerable calm, and it was good to take Danzig and seize the fleet, but he could not ignore the battle on land. Although the pursuit of the motley army was smooth sailing, the cities they were in were almost lost along the way, and the Jews, who only hated their parents for missing two legs, were almost crushed.

It seemed that everything was under control, and there seemed to be no need to worry at all, but Pilsudski always felt that something was wrong, and as the distance between the motley army and the main force became farther and farther away, the consequences of a mistake would be catastrophic.

Pilsudski, while ambitious, was not stupid and had a clear sense of priority. For him, for the Poles, for the time being, it seems that the navy is not the first, and a strong fleet is at most a better face. What really protects Poland's security is a strong army. Without the army, Poland would have fallen again in a minute.

Pilsudski thought about it again and again, and finally gave up the temptation of the navy and the idea of taking the initiative to attack Danzig. But if you don't attack Danzig, how can you solve your worries?

Pilsudski decided to leave a small group of his descendants to defend Olsztyn, and then the main force quickly moved north, first to destroy the Jewish army in Königsberg, and then to turn back and solve the problem of Danzig.

"Is Pilsudski really going to do that?" After receiving the news, Li Xiaofeng and Ubolevich were a little surprised.

After all, from the previous information, Pilsudski's ability is limited, how can he be so calm when he is already fluttering?

"His descendants have begun to pack their bags, and there is a possibility of going north at any time!"

Li Xiaofeng and Ubolevich glanced at each other, it seems that they still underestimate Pilsudski a little, this guy still has some real skills.

"Looks like we're going to have to take the next dose of medicine!" Triandafilov said, "The only way to do this is to let Danzig's troops feint against Olsztyn, to create as much illusion as possible, and to keep Pilsudski in Olsztyn." ”

Ubolevich nodded: "It's not just a performance in the Danzig direction, we should also abandon Bartosice and further lure the enemy deeper!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded and said, "If necessary, you can abandon Bagration Onovsk, and you can consider annihilating the enemy under the city of Königsberg!" ”

Li Xiaofeng's mention really needs a lot of courage, in fact, giving up Bartosice is enough or something, this city is not far from Königsberg, and if you give up here, there is basically no depth to retreat. But Li Xiaofeng actually said that even Bagration Onovsk could give up, and after giving up here, it was really a soldier coming to the city.

"If you want it to perish, you must first make it crazy." Li Xiaofeng said very calmly, "We can only retreat in great strides and make the illusion of a rout." in order to make the enemy completely relaxed. so that they can obediently walk into the trap. ”

said. He added: "If necessary, you can help them again and make them completely crazy!" ”

How do you make people completely crazy? There is only one way, and that is to arouse the most evil and ulterior desires in his heart, in this regard, a certain immortal is indeed quite good, in fact, he just acted in a play, and he made the Poles, whose confidence has swelled sharply in a short period of time, crazy.

Kovalchek has been in the army for five or six years. Before World War I, he was the dogleg of the tsar's rule in Poland, and then the Germans came and he became the dogleg of the Germans again. Now, the Germans are grassy, and he has become Pilsudski's dogleg again.

Of course, with a servant and three masters like him, loyalty is. He is now taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and whoever can give him food, he will serve him. But to speak from the heart. He didn't feel particularly good about Pilsudski's master, and he always felt that the goods were not good to serve. There's too much going on.

For example, this time, if Pilsudski hadn't allowed them to take the initiative to attack, they would have been able to get rid of the Jews in Olsztyn a long time ago, so where would they have been chasing after them all the way?

Nima, her shoes were running open, but she didn't even touch the shadow of an enemy. What is even more infuriating is that Pilsudski only ordered them to pursue, but did not allow them to rest. Along the way, he conquered several cities, all of which could only be hurried by.

Truth be told, the ban on staying in the city is a big reason for the displeasure of "veterans" like Kovalchek, who are just a means of survival by carrying a gun. They have no beliefs or ideals, they just want to be monks for a day and hit the clock for a day.

Entering the city is not only a good rest, you can eat and drink well, you don't have to sleep in the wilderness, and the most important thing is that you can make extra money. The soldiers and bandits are close to each other, and "veterans" like them will not be able to clean their hands and feet, and theft and robbery are commonplace for them.

In the past, when he fought the Russians, Kovalchek did not make less money in Ukraine and Belarus. Of course, the bitter Russian poor ghost really has nothing to speak of. This time it entered East Prussia, which had been operated by the Germans for hundreds of years, especially after the influx of business-savvy Jews.

Kovalček had always heard from the old people that the Jews would do business and make money, and that most of them were profiteers and infidels, and that robbing them was a matter of course and that even Jesus would forgive them.

But the damn Pilsudski didn't allow them to go into the city to make money, do you think this is annoying? Anyway, no matter what others think, Kovalchek is quite annoyed.

"Nima, why are we so tired and tired to travel, harder than fucking dogs, but we can't catch a fart?" An officer spoke out the minds of all the ragtags.

Another also chimed in: "That is, the dog knows that he orders us to run, and he knows how to use military orders and bullshit discipline to press us." It's good for them to eat and drink spicy food in Olsztyn, and they have made a fortune by picking up their exploits in vain! ”

Kovalcek's ears twitched, and he leaned in and asked, "Man, what made a fortune?" What happened to Olsztyn? ”

The officer glanced at him and sneered, "You don't know? It's all spread all over the place. The reason why Pilsudski only ordered us to pursue, and let his troops rest in Olsztyn, was to give his own men the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

Kovalcek said: "We big guys know this! I'm asking about getting rich! ”

"That's not easy!" Another officer also sneered, "I heard that the troops left in Olsztyn have made a big profit and looted the rich merchants in the city...... The reason why we only chased and did not let us enter the city was that Pilsudski was ready to pick up ready-made bargains! ”

"it!"

Kovalcek seems to understand, seems to be sober, no wonder Lao Tzu is not allowed to enter the city, the feeling is to let Lao Tzu work as cattle and horses, and then you pick up ready-made cheap ones to make a fortune. I'll fuck you, Pilsudski, you're really good! It's insidious!

But Kovalček was angry and angry, but there was nothing he could do, he sighed: "Who made us outsiders? He is now the Führer and the Commander-in-Chief, what can we little soldiers do? ”

"What can it be?" The officer stomped his foot angrily, "What are you pinning your heads to your trouser belts for?" It's not just that you can eat enough money to make a few dollars to mix the rest of your life. Why let Lao Tzu only work hard but have no meat to eat! There is no such reason! Lao Tzu still wants to enter the city today, and he wants to make a fortune! ”

With the officer's shout, the surrounding soldiers responded in droves, and Kovalchek watched in amazement as the gang rushed into the town.

However, Kovalcek still did not dare to join the ranks, he felt that Pilsudski was a very difficult person to serve, and he openly violated his orders, and there was absolutely no good fruit to eat!

Forcing himself to make a fortune, Kovalchek hurried away with his company. But as the pursuit continued, and as more and more robberies of blatant disobedience took place, Kovalczek's heart continued to waver.

Finally, after arriving in Kolshe, and hearing that the Jewish army in the city had fled, the ambitions of the Kovalczeks were magnified without limit, and when there was an example of the first to take the lead in storming the city and looting, when the real money and beautiful girls stimulated the eyes of the Kovalczeks, there was nothing to restrain them from carrying out...... (To be continued......)
