When Belkin and Ozor followed the police lieutenant into the director's office, they unexpectedly found Sokov and Asiya sitting inside.
The director saw Belkin and Ozor coming in and asked curiously: "Two comrades, commanders, what can I do for you?"
Belkin pointed to Sokov, who was sitting opposite the director, and said: "I am Belkin, the political commissar of the 73rd Infantry Brigade, and I am the brigade commander who came specially to pick us up. Comrade Director, I would like to ask,
Why are you detaining him?"
Sokov saw Belkin and Ozor appearing here, with a usual expression on his face. He was a little surprised and asked: "Comrade Political Commissar, why are you here?"
"Comrade Deputy Battalion Political Commissar." Before Belkin could answer Sokov's question, the director wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to explain to Belkin. "This is all a misunderstanding. I am apologizing to Comrade Lieutenant Colonel
Woolen cloth."
"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?" Belkin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard what the director said, and asked: "Your people arrested an army lieutenant colonel here, but you told me it was a misunderstanding."
When the director was about to continue explaining, the phone on the table suddenly rang. After the director said sorry to everyone, he picked up the phone. Seeing that the director was busy answering the phone, Sokov said to Belkin: "Comrade Political Commissar
, this is really a misunderstanding. The day before yesterday, comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs found an ambulance that had been attacked in the suburbs. The driver, wounded and medical staff in the car were all killed. Through investigation, they learned that the ambulance
The wounded man on board was a lieutenant colonel, and his uniform and ID were missing. In addition, the female health worker who died in the car had her uniform stripped off and her ID taken away. Therefore, they initially suspected that Stalin was planning to sneak into the car.
The German spies who carried out the sabotage in Gullah should be a man and a woman. The man was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, and the woman was wearing the uniform of a female health worker. Based on this judgment, we issued a joint investigation notice to all police stations."
At this point, Sokov smiled bitterly and continued: "It's a coincidence that Asya and I happened to be wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform and the other was wearing a female health worker's military uniform, which completely complies with the notice issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
standards, that’s why the police lieutenant tried to take us back to the police station forcibly.”
"So that's it." After listening to Sokov's explanation, Belkin understood that the incident was a complete mistake. The patrolling policemen of the 17th Precinct mistook Sokov and the others as German spies.
After the police chief answered the call, he looked at Belkin and asked nervously: "Comrade deputy battalion-level political commissar, I heard that an army has been surrounded outside the branch. Did you bring the army here?"
"Yes, I brought them here." Of course, Belkin would not deny the question asked by the director. He said carelessly: "Now that I have figured out what is going on, I will withdraw the troops immediately.
I deeply apologize for the inconvenience we have caused to your comrades in the bureau."
The director's complaints were blocked by Belkin's words. He smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade deputy battalion-level political commissar, now that you have figured out that this is a misunderstanding, please withdraw the troops as soon as possible.
.Otherwise, it may cause unnecessary trouble over time."
Sokov knew very well that the trouble the director was talking about probably meant alerting the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel in the city. If they accused Belkin of mobilizing troops without authorization, Belkin would really have a lot of trouble.
Trouble. So he waited for the director to finish speaking, then stood up and said: "Comrade director, don't worry, I will have the troops withdraw immediately. As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." The director knew very well that although Belkin's approach of leading troops to besiege the branch was inappropriate, in the final analysis, it was his own people who caused the trouble. He could only calmly say: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs
People should already know about this, and if they ask, I will explain it to them."
"Comrade Director," Sokov extended his hand to the Director and said friendly: "Perhaps one day in the future, the two of us will fight together. I hope that what happened today will not cause any estrangement between the two of us."
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we made a mistake in this matter first." The director said with a smile: "Now that the misunderstanding has been clearly explained, I believe it will not have any impact on our future cooperation."
Perhaps to express his apology, the director personally sent Sokov and the others to the door. As soon as he walked out of the door, he was frightened into a cold sweat. He saw two trucks parked in front, with an MG34 machine gun on the roof of each truck.
, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the entrance of the branch. He thought to himself that if he fired at such a close distance, even those wooden doors more than an inch thick would be easily penetrated by bullets. Fortunately, this matter has been successfully resolved.
, otherwise the consequences will be really serious.
Sokov only knew that Belkin brought people to rescue him, but he did not expect that he actually brought the entire security company. The security company is the best-equipped unit in the entire brigade. In addition to a few MG34 machine guns, half of the
The soldiers are equipped with MP40 submachine guns. If they want to attack by force, this branch has only dozens of policemen with little combat effectiveness. Even if there is a company of regular troops, they will not be able to stop the attack of the security company.
"Comrade Political Commissar, thank you." Sokov said to Belkin in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to put on such a big posture in order to save me."
Belkin smiled faintly and lowered his voice to Sokov: "If I hadn't ordered the four battalion commanders to stay, I'm afraid there would have been more than just one guard company surrounding this branch. There might have been two to three thousand people, and even more.
Heavy weapons. But if that happens, things may not end well."
Now that Sokov has come out, there is no need to put up such a formation, so Seryosha quickly stepped forward and called for the soldiers to withdraw. When the soldiers began to board the car, Seryosha personally opened the door for Sokov.
He opened the car door and said respectfully: "Comrade Brigadier, please get in the car."
The director standing at the door of the branch looked at the motorcade going away, raised his hand again to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself: Thank God, luckily the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, otherwise with the dozens of people in my bureau,
Can dozens of guns stop these wolf-like soldiers?
The policeman standing guard next to him saw the director standing in a daze at the door, so he cautiously said: "Comrade director, tell me, what should we do if a fight really breaks out?"
"What should I do? What else can I do? Of course, I must raise my hands and surrender immediately." Hearing his subordinate's stupid question, the director said angrily: "You think you can stop this gun with this broken gun in your hand?"
An attack by the troops?" After saying that, he snorted heavily, turned around and walked back into the building.
