Chapter 977: Fake Heroic Sacrifice

Marshal Vlasov, who had just received the marshal's epaulettes, collar badges and Lenin's gold medal from a package brought by a P-51 fighter (there is a night route between besieged Leningrad and Moscow), walked quickly into the Leningrad Army Headquarters in the Peter and Paul Fortress.

The marshal's face was gloomy, as if he had not received the marshal's rank and the shining gold medal, but his own death sentence - in fact, it was almost the same. The Soviet Union and Russia had never surrendered to the enemy. If he didn't want to set this precedent, he would have to die gloriously on the land of Leningrad.

Moreover, in the life-threatening package, there were not only epaulettes, collar badges and medals, but also several letters from Siberia. They were written by Vlasov's wife and children. They have now been safely transferred to Chelyabinsk, the wartime capital of the Soviet Union...

Marshal Vlasov certainly understood what this meant? If Stalin knew that he had become a distinguished duke, his family would be executed immediately.

At this time, Abakumov, the head of the Leningrad State Internal Affairs Department and the director of the Army's Counterintelligence Department, was sitting in Vlasov's office waiting anxiously. He also received a package of his own - inside was the shoulder straps, collar badges and Lenin Gold Medal of the First-Class State Security Commissar!

During this period, the Lenin Gold Medal, which symbolizes the hero of the Soviet Union, has become a cabbage. The commanders and political workers of the four army divisions and above who were surrounded all have a share and are all Soviet heroes.

"Comrade Commander." Seeing Vlasov push the door in, Abakumov immediately stood up and greeted him. Vlasov winked at the guard next to him (he was under Abakumov's charge) and signaled him to go outside to guard. Then he closed the door and sat down face to face with Abakumov.

Abakumov's current position should be to monitor the commander, and if necessary, he should also be responsible for arresting the commander. If we were having a secret conversation with the commander in the same office like this in other armies that were not surrounded, someone would probably report it immediately.

However, in the panic-stricken Leningrad Army, no one could control Vlasov and Abakumov. Even the political commissar Kuznetsov had no tricks against them.

"How is it? Have you tried Kuznetsov?" Vlasov asked after sitting down.

Abakumov nodded and said, "I have tried it!" He frowned, "Kuznetsov is determined to be a GC saint... He has prepared poison for himself and carries it with him. Once the White Army attacks, he will take it."

The Leningrad Army is the most critical of the four surrounded armies. The other three armies can still hold on for a while, but the Leningrad Army has no power to defend.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not these soldiers who are defending Leningrad now, but the exquisite ancient buildings in the center of Leningrad that are protecting them. If it weren't for the fear of damaging the buildings, Olga would have ordered the attack long ago.

But the empress's patience was limited. She would never let the battle of Leningrad drag on until after the muddy season. Because Olga still needed the White Army of Petrograd to attack Moscow!

"Is there a way to deal with him?" Vlasov asked in a rather cold tone.

Abakumov nodded, "It's not difficult to deal with Kuznetsov. The people around him are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

It was a Soviet practice for the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to protect senior military and political officials, which ensured the absolute loyalty of senior military and political officials to the cause of GCism. As for the disadvantages, of course, those who controlled the internal security system had too much power.

So Stalin has always attached great importance to cleaning up the internal security system to prevent the leaders of the internal security system from becoming bigger.

But the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War interrupted the normal "clean-up plan", and Beria was able to control the internal affairs department for a long time-in fact, Beria's post as the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs had been removed, but the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs was still controlled by his confidants.

However, Beria could not make any waves in Moscow. The security of the Kremlin was not the responsibility of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, and Beria himself was not even in the Communist Party, so there was no possibility of replacing Stalin.

In the besieged Leningrad, although Abakumov had great power, it was impossible for him to attack Political Commissar Kuznetsov and Commander Vlasov at the same time - even if his internal guards captured Kuznetsov and Vlasov, the Leningrad Army Group was not under his command.

So in theory, there was no risk, unless one of Vlasov and Kuznetsov joined forces with Abakumov, and the Leningrad Army Group was in a desperate situation.

"It's no problem to capture Kuznetsov, but I also have a wife and children!" Abakumov whispered to Vlasov at this time.

Vlasov glanced at Abakumov coldly, "The marquis of the Russian Empire will not be unable to marry a wife!"

A wife can be remarried, and children can be reborn!

"But I can't kill them either..." Abakumov, who should have been a cold-blooded animal, showed a rare bit of warmth when dealing with his family.

"We won't kill them," Vlasov said, "We will die heroically. I've already made an agreement with Prince Yusupov."

It turned out that Vlasov had just gone to meet with Prince Yusupov, Chief of Staff of the Belarusian Army, for a secret meeting - the place was at Smolny Palace on the banks of the Neva River.

"Heroic sacrifice?"

Vlasov nodded, "Fake heroic sacrifice."

Can this be faked? Abakumov looked at Vlasov doubtfully.

"Don't worry, everything is arranged." Vlasov said, "As long as we control all the radio stations and Kuznetsov himself, we will be able to make things perfect. At least... Stalin is going to hell. You won’t know anything before.”

The radio station of the Leningrad Army is partly controlled by the military system led by Vlasov. The communications director of the Army Group has been attracted by Vlasov and is preparing to betray the revolution. Therefore, the radio stations of each army have now begun to be "damaged" in large numbers. In the end, there will only be a few useful radio stations, all of which are controlled by Vlasov's cronies.

The White Russian army would use empty guns to create the illusion of an attack to deceive the Bolshevik agents lurking in Petrograd.

Stalin may not be able to completely believe the drama to this extent, but Stalin would not immediately order the execution of Vlasov and other family members of the senior members of the Leningrad Army Group. As long as we can delay it for a while and wait for the "recovery" of Moscow, there will probably be no evildoers in Siberia to kill the families of the great nobles of Tsarist Russia...

After listening to Vlasov's explanation, Abakumov finally let out a long breath. This time, the lives of himself and his wife and children can probably be saved.

…

"Are there any fake heroic sacrifices? Olga, you are really considerate."

Hersman only heard Olga mention the main contents of the "recruitment agreement" reached by Yusupov and Vlasov that morning at the welcome dinner that day.

The Russian Empress, wearing a long white palace dress with bare white and round shoulders, gently turned a tall glass in her hand, looked at the red wine inside, and smiled thoughtfully.

"Ludwig, I have always been very considerate. This is my advantage." She took a sip of wine, "And I am self-aware. I am a Russian monarch who has been in exile abroad for more than 20 years. In Russia, There is no foundation on the land. If you want to stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time, you must win over these former Bolshevik officials. If you want to win over them, you must take care of their wives and children.

Therefore, I cannot be as ruthless as Stalin. I want to make those who live in fear all day feel safe and warm, so that order and peace can be restored to the Russian Empire after the war. "

"You mean removing them from power in the future?" Hirschman asked.

The Queen shrugged and said: "This will be a smooth process, there will be no turmoil, and no one will die. People who hand over their power will receive the rewards they deserve and become part of the Russian nobility." Molecule, live a prosperous and happy life.”

The Russian version of pardoning soldiers over a glass of wine? Hessmann said to himself: No wonder Olga has made it this far, it turns out she is really clever.

"By the way, Ludwig," Olga asked with a smile, "Do you have Stalin's son in your hands?"

Olga's information was actually quite good, and she was able to find out such secrets. Seeing that Hessmann didn't say a word, Olga smiled again: "Some people had already recognized him in the Nuremberg prisoner of war camp, and they just pretended not to know anything. As for the reason, I think you know. "

Afraid of being silenced? People who have been educated by the Party for many years are indeed very enlightened!

Hessmann smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes, he is in my hands, and he is in Switzerland now."

"Aren't you going to let him go?" Olga said with a smile, "Let him go and let him bring two messages to Stalin."

"What message?"

Olga smiled and said: "One is of course the truth about the surrender of the Leningrad Army Group! The other... I don't want him to die in Moscow. I am a very tolerant monarch. So he can take refuge in the United States. Maybe you can Give him a plane that can fly from Moscow to the United States. Fokker seems to have such a passenger plane, right? One of Stalin's sons is a pilot and should be able to fly such a plane. If Stalin also wants a fake heroic. Sacrifice, we can still announce his death."

"Psychological warfare again?" Hessmann smiled and shook his head. "Oliga, have you studied psychology on your own? But your method will not be effective against people like Stalin. It will only harm Frasso." Husband, their wives, children, and children.”

Olga made a sign of the cross on her chest and said, "Then may the souls of the dead ascend to heaven!" Then she smiled slightly, "As for the living, there will be many from Western Europe, well-educated, and believers." The most reassuring choice is for a Christian Russian aristocratic woman to accompany them for the rest of their lives.”
