Chapter 937 Shame on the Soviets
Viacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, the Soviet People's Commissar, was sitting in his seat and listening to the protests of German ambassador Schulenburg.
"We have common interests with the Soviets. After the First World War, our destiny was very similar, which brought us together closely. After that, we carried out cooperation in all aspects, including industry, agriculture, commerce, and military. We are all our best friends, but today, this happened!"
Schulenberg was quite angry: "Your side created trouble in front of the Brest Fortress, which triggered a serious conflict with our fortress defenders. After that, they even used established artillery fire to bombard us. Is this going to declare war on our Germany?"
Faced with the anger of the German ambassador, Molotov had already prepared for it. He said firmly: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this. We will immediately urge the relevant parties to cease fire. There must be misunderstandings in this."
This side was sloppy in diplomacy, and then quickly took action. Before the German reinforcements arrived, they controlled the fortress to their own hands. This was the Soviets' calculation.
Now, in Molotov's eyes, the anger of the Germans is very comfortable. The Germans are asking you to make trouble in Finland. Now, be prepared to bear this evil consequence!
"We Germany cherish the friendship with the Soviet Union, but we will never be afraid of war. We have conquered Europe and we still attach importance to the non-aggression agreement reached with the Soviet Union. Now, the Soviet Union has tear up the agreement first, so we will also drive our troops. Since the Soviet Union wants to fight, we will accompany us to the end!"
Shurenberg had the confidence, and this confidence was that Germany had never lost every war it had fought since the 1930s. Although it was a small country before, the Soviet Union was a vast country, and Germany had never been afraid of it.
Are the Soviets not afraid of starting a war when they did this?
"Ambassador Schulenberg, please rest assured. This must be a misunderstanding. We will investigate it immediately. We also attach great importance to the friendship with Germany. Please tell the Head of Cialek that this is just a small conflict on the border and we will resolve it as soon as possible." Molotov said.
Now let’s get the sloppy eyes first, and wait until the Brest Fortress is obtained, then don’t expect the Soviet Union to spit it out again.
"Please order your front-line troops to stop attacking immediately. If it does not stop, our German counterattack will inevitably be quite fierce." Schulenberg continued.
It seemed as if he saw that the Soviets were deliberately procrastinating. Facing his attitude, Molotov also looked helpless: "I'm sorry, Comrade Stalin went to Kiev to inspect today. He was not in the Kremlin. You also know that Comrade Stalin is our great leader. Without him, we would not dare to issue any orders at all."
Throwing the blame on Stalin and delaying time with Stalin's reputation is all established plans. Molotov is very confident that he must be quite gentle and finally resolve this matter successfully.
"Please contact Comrade Stalin immediately and tell him that our head of state is already angry because of this." Shurenberg said: "I am here, waiting for your news."
"Okay, then I will contact Kiev immediately and convey your opinions to Comrade Stalin. However, I don't know if I can contact you. After all, no one knows Comrade Stalin's specific whereabouts." Molotov said, stood up and walked outside.
When he walked to the room beside him, he sat down leisurely, it was still early! Let's talk about it in the afternoon.
At this moment, the phone rings on the table. When I pick up the phone, a person's anger has already come from the other end. In an instant, Molotov was shocked and ran out.
How is that possible? How is it possible!
When he ran to the conference room, he heard the voice of the furious Stalin.
"A bunch of idiots, juveniles, idiots!" Stalin's voice could be heard almost the entire Kremlin: "There is nothing more embarrassing than this. They should commit suicide on the spot. It's simply embarrassing the Soviets!"
Molotov quietly walked in and saw Voroshilov and others. He lowered his heads and listened to Stalin's anger, he quietly picked up the telegram on the table.
Germany invaded the area within ten kilometers east of Brest and captured three infantry divisions in an established place, Temusinggo and Pavlov, who were also captured by the Germans!
"How is this possible?" asked Molotov. "Who sent this telegram?"
"Khrushchev, he escaped from the German encirclement and sent a telegram quickly, otherwise we would be kept in the dark." Voroshinov whispered.
Khrushchev escaped and sent the latest information. When he received the telegram, Stalin became angry.
There are not many words on the telegram, so it is impossible to infer the situation in detail, but the authenticity is beyond doubt.
It turned out that it wasn’t just a sloppy German, it was a German who was acting for himself! He just accompanied Shurenberg to comfort him. Now, the Germans do not need comfort, but they are the injured little souls!
Molotov quickly lowered his head and said nothing, waiting for Comrade Stalin to get angry and then say it.
Temusinggo and Pavlov are the most famous Soviet generals. For this operation, the Soviets have been prepared quite well. Poland does not have the bad weather like Finland. Who would have thought that what they got was still news that cannot be bad!
The tens of thousands of people invested by our side this time were actually captured by the Germans. Not only did our side not acquire the Brest Fortress, but continued to be occupied by the Germans for more than ten kilometers of territory. Those were the most dangerous barriers.
What’s even more depressing is that this time, the Soviets were embarrassed and wanted to teach the Germans a lesson, but they were taught a lesson by the Germans!
Stalin's big pipe hit the table hard, venting his anger: "What the hell is going on?"
The scene was in chaos. Until now, no specific information was sent. They didn't know what was going on. They originally planned to listen to good news, but such a terrible fact came!
Finally, Stalin saw Molotov and immediately seemed to have caught something: "Molotov, tell me, what's going on?"
How did I know what happened? Molotov thought in his heart, and of course he had to say something: "If our army was defeated so quickly, it means that the Germans were definitely not unprepared. They had already made all preparations and waited for us to get in. All of this was planned by the Germans."
Everyone was in a state of great pain, but no one dared to say it just now. Now, Molotov finally said it. It is absolutely impossible to say that Germany was beaten up and could fight back and even capture oneself. The only truth is that the Germans had already prepared it!
"Wait until Comrade Khrushchev comes back and listen to his report." Stalin said: "Let Khrushchev come and see me quickly!"
Chapter completed!
