Chapter 247
In the dimly lit bedroom, the old double wooden bed was in a mess. At the window four or five meters away from the double bed, Yuri held Gerlyosha's slender and straight thighs with his arms, pushed her whole body against the wall, and moved his body quickly.
At this time, it was already early morning with the sun rising. Yuri, who had not been injured for two years since his last injury, was injured . However, this time the injuries were all minor, mainly concentrated on the back and arms. The bloody marks were all caused by scratches from fingernails.
As for his opponent, the beautiful woman Geryosha from Leningrad, she did not seem to gain any advantage from this battle. There were several purple teeth marks on the inside of her snow-white thighs and buttocks, and there was blood in the crack of her buttocks. As for the two heavy semicircles on her chest, they turned into purple gourds.
When there was a knock on the door, Yuri had just reached the peak of another pleasure. He picked up the seductive Gerlyosha and laid her on the bed. Then he panted and asked, "What's the matter?"
"General, it's time for us to set off," Arseni's voice came from outside the door.
"I know," Yuri responded, pulled the blanket from the bed, covered Gerlyosha with it, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
The water from the shower stung his back a little. Yuri was about to look in the mirror to see if he could see the injury when he felt a soft body hugging him from behind. At the same time, Gerlyosha's voice whispered, "Will you come again?"
"Yes," Yuri turned around, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her sexy lips while saying, "I will come to see you often, and you remember to take care of yourself."
"I'll wait for you," Gerlyosha said, kissing him back and caressing his chest with her hands.
After taking a shower as quickly as possible, Yuri left the apartment that he once knew very well and drove to the Kremlin.
In the Kremlin, outside Stalin's office, Yuri just stepped into the corridor and saw Chief of General Staff Antonov walking out of the lounge and heading towards Stalin's office.
Seeing Yuri appear in the corridor, Antonov greeted him, and when he came closer, he handed him a document.
Yuri took the document, took a look at it, twitched his lips, and asked, "Is the information accurate?"
"Just last night, in the Bialystok direction, the Chief of Operations of the German 28th Fighter Division, Kuhn, took the initiative to surrender to our position," Antonov said. "He confirmed the news received by the intelligence department."
Yuri nodded and said nothing more.
The document contained a top-secret intelligence from Germany. It roughly meant that a rebellion had occurred among the German military high command and an attempt to assassinate Hitler had been unsuccessful. As for the time of the assassination, it took place last night.
"In addition, according to the intelligence provided by Kuhn, the German army is preparing to launch a counterattack in Bialystok to try to retake the lost position," Antonov continued, "Let's go see Comrade Stalin first. He heard that you arrived in Moscow yesterday, and he wanted to see you. Where have you been?"
Upon hearing this, Yuri felt cold sweat oozing from the roots of his hair. He was not worried that Stalin knew that he slept with a woman, but he was worried that he knew that he had met Khrushchev first. If that happened, it would be really bad.
Yuri gritted his teeth and followed Antonov into Stalin's office.
There were only two people in Stalin's office at this time. In addition to Stalin himself, Timoshenko, the representative of the headquarters who was in charge of coordinating the battle in the Baltic direction, was also there. It was unknown what the two of them were talking about, and they were laughing.
Seeing that Stalin was in a good mood, Yuri was slightly relieved. How should I put it? This leader was a person with erratic moods and a suspicious personality. If he liked someone, that person would be favored by God. Even if he was a shoemaker yesterday, he might become a big shot today. On the contrary, if someone displeased him, or was suspected by him, he might be a member of the Politburo today, but become ashes in a labor camp the next day.
"Ah, Yuri Arisipovich, our young comrade general is here," Stalin pointed at Yuri with his pipe and smiled as he saw him walk in behind Antonov. "Like I said, he won't delay his work."
This was a bit confusing and Yuri had no idea what it meant.
"Young people are always full of energy," Timoshenko gave Yuri a meaningful look and said with a smile, "But you still have to pay attention to the impacts that should be taken into account."
"After you defeat the Germans, you should solve your personal problems," Stalin said. "I heard that you are engaged to the daughter of Comrade Vadim Vitalievich? Then stop messing around, or people will come to me to complain."
This time Yuri was finally sure what was going on. Apparently, Stalin had been told about his visit to Gerlyosha last night. Perhaps someone had also reported him to Stalin. But Yuri was a little curious, why did Stalin know about this, but seemed to be unaware that he had met with Khrushchev first?
Yuri was not worried that Stalin would know about matters such as relationships between men and women. Although he was suspicious and moody, this leader comrade was still very open-minded. Just like when Mekhlis accused Rokossovsky of having affairs between men and women, Stalin said: You can only envy him, but it became a laughing stock.
"Well, it just so happens that you are in Moscow," Stalin obviously did not pay much attention to this matter. He tapped his hands on the desk and said, "Comrade Nikita gave me a suggestion yesterday, and I am very interested."
As he spoke, he picked up a document from his desk, shook it at Yuri, and said, "See if it is feasible. If so, how long will it take to prepare?"
Of course Yuri knew what it was about. Khrushchev made the call in front of him, and even the idea itself was his.
Yuri walked over quickly, took the document from Stalin, and pretended to read it.
Sure enough, the document was about the arrangements for the parade of prisoners of war. All the key points raised by Khrushchev were included on it, with only a few supplements.
"Comrade Stalin," Yuri frowned deliberately after reading the document and said in a worried tone, "There are nearly 80,000 German prisoners of war gathered in Smolensk. If we parade them all here, wouldn't it be unsafe?"
Stalin was obviously very interested in this matter. After listening to Yuri's concerns, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is not a problem you need to worry about. You just need to tell me how long it will take to prepare."
"Do we need to change the clothes of those prisoners?" Yuri did not answer directly, but asked, "In the Smolensk prisoner-of-war camp, their conditions are not very good."
Stalin hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "No need, the embarrassment of German fascism can better illustrate our position."
"If that's the case, things will be simple," Yuri said. "At present, the railway from Smolensk to Moscow has been fully repaired. As long as there are enough trains, I can transport all the prisoners of war to Moscow within a week."
"Very good!" Stalin was very satisfied with the answer. He took a puff of his pipe, waved his arms and said, "Then arrange it immediately. Hurry up."
"Okay, Comrade Stalin," Yuri said, nodding.
"One more thing," Stalin walked out from behind his desk, waved to Yuri, and asked him to follow him to the battlefield situation map on the wall. "Our intelligence personnel have received accurate information. Hitler has appointed Guderian as the Chief of the German Army General Staff. Now, they plan to launch a large-scale counterattack in the direction of Bialystok."
After the opening, Stalin looked at Antonov standing on the side. The latter took the pointer and pointed to the German front line in the direction of Bialystok and said: "The German counterattack this time is planned to be concentrated in the direction of the Narew River and Grodno. In the direction of Grodno , in addition to the 14th Armored Infantry Division and the 50th Infantry Division, they are also preparing to transfer the SS Division and the 19th Armored Division originally deployed in the south of Warsaw. In the direction of the Narew River, they deployed the 12th Armored Division, the 367th Infantry Division and the 28th Annihilation Division."
After briefly introducing the German troop deployment, Antonov put down his hand and handed the pointer to Yuri, meaning that he should talk about how to fight this defensive battle.
Yuri took the pointer, took a few steps forward, and stood where Antonov had just stood. He looked up, looked at the map for a few seconds, and said, "This location is exactly the junction of our 2nd and 3rd Belorussian Fronts. Our army has deployed the 48th, 49th, 50th, and 31st armies in these two areas. In terms of manpower, we are not at a big disadvantage. However, our troops in this direction lack tanks and assault capabilities."
The pointer slid down from above and landed on the front line south of Warsaw.
"My suggestion is that we can deploy defense in the Bialystok area to pin down the German forces," Yuri continued, "and set the main offensive target in the southern part of Warsaw. Previously, the Germans deployed the Totenkopf Division and the 19th Armored Division here, causing great losses to our army. Now that these two elite German troops have been transferred to the direction of Bialystok, we may be able to find an opportunity for a breakthrough."
"So what is the situation of our troop deployment in the south of Warsaw?" Stalin asked with great interest. In his mind, Warsaw was obviously much more important than Bialystok.
Yuri smiled in his heart and thought: The opportunity has come.
