In order for the United States to fall into the trap set for them in advance, Soviet spies lurking in this area began to provide false information to American intelligence personnel, saying that Sokov was a secret weapons expert from Moscow.
He came to Nuremberg ostensibly to observe the trial of German war criminals, but his real purpose was to find suitable military talents to participate in the research and development of new weapons, and he also carried an important blueprint with him. However, the Soviet side's false intelligence
After sending it out, there was still no response from the United States, let alone Patton taking the initiative to send an invitation to Sokovsky. This made Sokolovsky very puzzled, and he had to go through
He contacted Zhukov on a confidential phone line in Berlin, reported the matter, and carefully asked: "What should we do next?" The U.S. response was also beyond Zhukov's expectations. According to his assumption, since the U.S. can
Send an agent disguised as a plumber, hook up with the Soviet female translator, and steal confidential information from her, then learn that Sokov
When it has a special mission and carries important documents with it, the United States will definitely take active measures and try to find out the contents of the document.
Zhukov thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe the US is verifying the authenticity of this information. I'm afraid it will have to wait a little longer before they take action." Neither Zhukov nor Sokolovsky expected that the US side would
The reason why there was no movement after the intelligence officers received this false information was entirely because the Office of Strategic Services, which played a great role during the war, was announced to be disbanded by Truman on September 28, 1945. Director William Joseph Donovan
Sitting on the bench. The disbandment of the Office of Strategic Services caused the U.S. intelligence work to fall into chaos. The Soviet Union provided false information long ago.
Just drowned in the pile of old papers. After the dissolution of the Office of Strategic Services, without a central coordination and analysis system, U.S. intelligence activities fell into chaos and dispersion. Truman often found that the intelligence on his desk was disorganized, and various agencies issued many
Unanalyzed and conflicting reports added to the confusion, and he began to realize that disbanding the Office of Strategic Services was a mistake. It was not until January 1946 that Truman ordered the establishment of the National Security Council, whose members were composed of Secretary of State, Lu, and
Composed of the Secretary of the Navy and the President’s Military Advisor, it is fully responsible for U.S. foreign intelligence activities. The committee consists of a
A Central Intelligence Group, as an executive agency, replaced the original overseas intelligence activities of the Office of Strategic Services. This Central Intelligence Group was the predecessor of the future Central Intelligence Agency. If Sokolovsky asked spies to provide false intelligence to the United States,
Not in November 1945, but after January 1946. Maybe the Americans might really fall into the trap set and try to arrange the request.
Sokov met with Patton, and then waited for an opportunity to steal the top-secret information carried by Sokov. But now, due to the collapse of the US intelligence agency, all the work done by the Soviet side has become in vain. Staying in the room every day writing novels
Sokovsky naturally didn't know about these changes. As long as Sokolovsky didn't give him orders, he would immerse himself in writing novels, or talk about life with Agelina, and live a happy life.
happy.
Time passed in mid-December. Although Sokov did not receive Sokolovsky's order, the Bayers and his son, who had gone to the countryside to look for Captain Hosenfeld's wife and children, finally returned.
Seeing the Bayer and his son who had disappeared for half a month, Sokov asked with some urgency: "Officer Bayer, how is the situation? Have you found Captain Hosenfeld's wife and children?" Bayer nodded vigorously, feeling a little excited.
He said: "Found it, Comrade General. We searched for a week in the countryside near Nuremberg, but without any results, so we went to Nuremberg's two sister cities, Fürth and Erlangen. When we were in Fürth
, when I asked for information in a coffee shop, a waitress told me that after Leoni worked here for a while, he went to Erlangen and seemed to work at a telephone company
Work as an operator."
"Is Leoni the name of Captain Hoshenfeld's wife?" Sokov asked. "Yes, Comrade General, her name is Leoni." Bayer continued: "After receiving the news, Zoro and I
Erda immediately drove to Erlangen, found the local telephone company, and asked the person in charge if there was a
A woman named Leoni. Unexpectedly, I was lucky. The other party told me that he did have a female operator named Leoni here, and she also had a son and a daughter."
"Have you met her in person?"
"Of course I have." Bayer said confidently: "If I hadn't seen her in person, I wouldn't have dared to come back and report to you."
"Officer Bayer," Agelina asked curiously after translating for Sokov: "What was her reaction when she learned that her husband was still alive?" "She heard me say Captain Hosenfeld.
When she was still alive, she couldn't believe it was true." Bayer said: "It wasn't until Zolda told her that she was selected by Captain Hosenfeld from the prisoner of war camp that she believed it.
Believing what we were telling the truth, we started crying."
"Where is she now?" Sokov asked.
"Still in Erlangen." Bayer said: "I think now that I have found her whereabouts, I should come back and report to you as soon as possible." "Officer Bayer, you did the right thing." After Sokov said this
, and ordered him: "Now that Leoni has been found, don't let her stay in Erlangen, arrange for her to return to Berlin as soon as possible, and let her and Huo
Let’s reunite Captain Hosenfeld. I think Captain Hosenfeld is always thinking about his wife and children.”
"Comrade General," Sokov's words made Bayer hesitate: "Do you mean to let us accompany them back to Berlin first, without staying and waiting for you?" Sokov shook his head and said: "I still can't do it at the moment.
I don’t know how long I will stay in Nuremberg, so you have to rush to Erlangen as soon as possible, take Leonie and her child back to Berlin, and reunite her with Captain Hosenfeld as soon as possible
." "Okay, Comrade General." Since Sokov has given the order, Bayer naturally cannot disobey it. He nodded and said: "I will go to Erlangen tomorrow and take Leoni and the others back to Berlin to meet with them.
See you Captain Hosenfeld
Face." After seeing Bayer off, Agelina turned to Sokov and said: "Misha, it's been a long time, why hasn't General Patton sent you an invitation? Could it be that, Deputy Commander

, what went wrong?" Agelina's words reminded Sokov, yes, more than half a month has passed, and Barton still has not taken the initiative to contact him. If he takes the initiative to get in touch, he will not be able to achieve the original plan.
Target, he stood up and said to Agelina
: "I'm going to see the deputy commander, you stay here." A few minutes later, Sokov came outside Sokolovsky's room, but was stopped by the adjutant: "General Sokov, deputy commander
Comrade Commander is taking a rest. If you have anything to do, you might as well tell me. I'm waiting for the Deputy Commander.
When comrade wakes up, I will convey it to him." Sokov considered that the matter of setting a trap for the US military was confidential, and even his adjutant could not tell it without Sokolovsky's permission.
.So after hearing the adjutant’s question, Sokov gently shook his head.
, and then said: "I have nothing to do, I just want to come and see Comrade Deputy Commander. Since he is resting, I will leave first."
When Sokov returned to his room, Agelina asked in surprise: "Misha, why did you come back so soon?"
"Comrade Deputy Commander is resting," Sokov replied with a wry smile: "It seems that I didn't choose the right time to go, so I can only go at another time."
"Misha, there has been no movement from the U.S. side so far. Did something happen?" "I don't know." Sokov was also puzzled by the U.S. side's delay in responding. According to
In his opinion, if Sokolovsky leaked the news in the morning, the US might react in the afternoon.
Then Patton came forward and invited himself to be a guest in his defense zone. But now half a month has passed, but there has been no movement. Sokov feels confused and wonders where this plan went wrong.
After dark, Sokov suddenly received a call from Sokolovsky: "Misha, what are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything." Sokov asked in a panic: "Comrade Deputy Commander, what can I do for you?"
"Pack up immediately, we'll set off in an hour."
"Leaving in an hour?" Sokov asked somewhat unexpectedly, "Where are you going?"
"Where else can we go? Of course we have to go back to Berlin." Sokolovsky said, "We'll leave tonight."
"Leave tonight? What about the trial of war criminals? Just leave it alone?" "Who told you that you have to leave the trial?" Sokolovsky said with some dissatisfaction: "Here we have

There is something that requires us to return immediately." Hearing Sokolovsky said that he needed to return to Berlin immediately, Sokov turned his head and glanced at Agelina beside him, and asked tentatively: "Comrade Deputy Commander, what about Ajie?
What should Lina do? Should she stay or come back with us?
Berlin?"
"What she is staying for is, of course, to return to Berlin with us." Sokolovsky said: "But you and I will fly back to Berlin, and she and your security forces will return by car."
Although Sokolovsky asked Adelina to follow Vaseligov and the others by car back to Berlin, Sokovsky was not worried at all. He believed that Vaseligov could ensure Adelina on the way.
After putting down the phone, he said to Agelina: "Agelina, the deputy commander just called me and said that something happened in Berlin and asked us to rush back overnight. I took a plane with him
Go back, while you and Vashe
Rigoff and the others took a jeep back to Berlin." When Agelina learned that she was going to return to Berlin, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised. She guessed what had happened, and even gave up her plan to set up a trap for the US military, so she hurried back.
Berlin. But she did not ask Sokov, because she knew that Sokov also did not know what happened in Berlin, and even asking would be in vain. She just asked worriedly: "Misha, take the night flight back to Berlin.
Can safety be guaranteed? Otherwise, you and the deputy director
Comrade Commander, please tell me, why don't you come back to Berlin with us?"
When Sokov returned to his room, Agelina asked in surprise: "Misha, why did you come back so soon?"
"Comrade Deputy Commander is resting," Sokov replied with a wry smile: "It seems that I didn't choose the right time to go, so I can only go at another time."
