Stalin had stopped what he was doing and even postponed an important meeting, and all this was just to meet with Xu Rui together with Timoshenko, so that Timoshenko could discuss tactical issues with Xu Rui.
, but Stalin really just wanted to meet Xu Rui.
Seeing Stalin frequently raising his wrist to look at his watch, Timoshenko said: "Comrade Stalin, why don't you go to the Soviet Congress, and leave Comrade Xu Rui to me to receive you." After a pause, he continued.
, "He is also a soldier. I believe we will be able to get along very happily."
"No, don't worry, the conference has been postponed, so I still have time." Stalin waved his hand.
While he was talking, Stalin's female secretary came in and reported: "Comrade Stalin, the Chinese comrades have arrived."
"Oh, really?" Upon hearing this, Stalin stood up from the sofa in a hurry. Timoshenko also stood up quickly. Stalin continued, "Hurry up and invite the Chinese comrades in."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The female secretary smiled slightly, turned around and left.
After a while, the female secretary left and returned again, followed by three people, Timoshenko's adjutant Andrei, and Diana, the full-time translator assigned by the headquarters to Chinese comrades. They were all acquaintances. Almost at the same time, Stalin
and Timoshenko's eyes focused on the remaining person, an oriental man with black hair and black eyes.
This oriental man has a tall figure. Although he is not as tall as Andre, he is at least over 1.80 meters. He does not look very strong, even a little thin, but judging from the outline of his facial features and the shape of his hair exposed outside his sleeves,
Those big hands gave people a strong hint that there was definitely an explosive and terrifying power hidden in this man.
Obviously, this man is the king of special forces from China, Xu Rui.
Stalin immediately showed a warm smile on his face, stretched out his right hand and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, on behalf of the Supreme Central Committee of the Soviet Union, I welcome you and welcome your Spike Brigade to the Soviet Union."
Xu Rui did not extend his hand, but stood at attention and saluted Stalin with a military salute.
While saluting the military salute, Xu Rui was also sizing up the legendary dictator.
Even in the era when Xu Rui traveled through time, Stalin's reputation around the world was extremely poor! Chinese public opinion generally believed that he was a cruel dictator, and Western countries, from the government to the private sector, had no idea.
The exception is that Stalin was a terrorist dictator and even an anti-human being!
But Xu Rui insisted that Stalin was a great man.
Stalin may have made many mistakes, some of which were even very serious, but generally speaking, his contribution to the Soviet Union far outweighed the mistakes he made. Let’s not talk about other things, just the Soviet-German War. If not
Stalin, the Soviet Union may not be able to withstand the German attack.
In short, Xu Rui admired Stalin very much.
Therefore, Xu Rui’s military salute comes from the heart.
An imperceptible look of surprise immediately flashed across the depths of Stalin's deep eyes. It was not without reason that he was able to squeeze out so many competitors and become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Apart from anything else, just
There are very few people who can read people as well as him, so he can see that Xu Rui's respect for him is definitely from the bottom of his heart.
Stalin was inevitably a little surprised. Why did Xu Rui respect him, the leader of a neighboring country, so much?
However, despite being surprised, Stalin also had a great impression of Xu Rui. He was a smart kid.
When Xu Rui saluted, Stalin's right hand was always stretched out. After Xu Rui finished the military salute, he lowered his hand and shook hands with Stalin, and then said: "Comrade Stalin, you look more majestic than in the photo."
After listening to Diana's translation, Stalin immediately laughed heartily, and Xu Rui saluted Timoshenko again.
Timoshenko returned the greeting, and Stalin smiled again and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you must be exhausted on the way from Kulun to Moscow? Logically speaking, you should go to the guest house to rest at this time. I insist on Tiemoshenko."
Comrade Musinge called you to the Kremlin, you must not be angry."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "It is an honor for me to be received by Comrade Stalin."
"Comrade Xu Rui, you are really good at talking." Stalin smiled and said, "I don't know much about military arrangements. Comrade Timoshenko will discuss this with you in detail later. I just want to ask you,
Do you have any difficulties after arriving in the Soviet Union? If so, feel free to mention them to me and I will arrange for someone to solve them immediately."
Xu Rui said simply: "There is no difficulty in reporting to Comrade Stalin!"
This is what makes Xu Rui so smart. Both he and Langya are already in the Soviet Union. It would be too petty to act coyly at this time, asking for this or that. Doing this will make others look down upon, and in the end Su Fen will be regarded as
When the war ends victoriously, people may not think you well. Instead, you might as well feel relieved. People may still feel they owe you a favor.
What is the most expensive thing in the world? Favor is the most expensive! This thing is priceless!
If it can make Stalin feel that he owes Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade a favor, it will be worth it!
Hearing Xu Rui's answer, Stalin's deep eyes immediately showed admiration. He really liked this young friend more and more. He was even thinking about what would happen if Xu Rui and his Langya Brigade were in Sufen.
After performing well in the war, they proposed to China that Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade should be kept for a long time.
But now, all this is exaggerated, after all, the battle has not been fought yet.
However, Stalin was already very satisfied with this meeting. He stood up and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, I have another meeting, so I can't stay and talk to you. Next, Comrade Timoshenko wants to discuss something with you."
Military issues." After speaking, Stalin turned to Timoshenko and said, "Comrade Timoshenko, I leave this to you."
Timoshenko stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Comrade Stalin, I will entertain the Chinese comrades well."
Stalin came over and shook hands with Xu Rui again, then turned and left. Only Xu Rui and Timoshenko were left in the living room.
Timoshenko is a soldier, and most soldiers are straightforward in their habits, so he asked straightforwardly: "Comrade Xu Rui, I reviewed your and Comrade Zhukov's wargames on the Soviet-Finnish war, and found that you have a deep understanding of the Karelian Isthmus.
The topography seems quite familiar. Have you been there before?"
"I've been there, more than once." Xu Rui said simply.
Then Xu Rui repeated his remarks about being a foreign training partner at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp.
"Unexpectedly, Comrade Xu Rui, you are actually an overseas Chinese living in Germany, and you were also a foreign partner in the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp in Germany." Timoshenko was relieved. Although the Cheka is the highest intelligence agency of the Soviet Union,
, but after all, manpower and material resources are limited, and there are only a few words about Xu Rui's situation before returning to China.
Of course, it must be noted that Cheka did not go to Germany to investigate.
However, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent, but in the end there was no result, because the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp was the top secret of the German army. Before this, Cheka did not even know that such a special force existed in Germany, so
To investigate the composition of such a force is simply wishful thinking.
But Timoshenko believed that Xu Rui was telling the truth.
Otherwise, it may be difficult to explain why Xu Rui has such a solid foundation in military theory, such superb tactical command capabilities, and such excellent modern special operations skills.
After solving the confusion in your mind, you can open up and communicate.
At that moment, Timoshenko said again: "Comrade Xu Rui, in the war game between you and Comrade Zhukov, you used the tactic of moving forward step by step, but I want to know if there are other tactics besides this."
What about faster and more effective tactics? You know, the Soviet-Finnish war cannot be dragged on for long."
The Soviet-Finnish war cannot be dragged on for long, otherwise Britain and France may intervene on a large scale.
Xu Rui said: "There are no ways, but it requires close coordination between air, ground, infantry and artillery, and special forces to fight an all-element, all-weather, three-dimensional modern offensive! Only in this way can it be possible to quickly destroy the Finnish business in a short period of time."
The Mannerheim Line of Defense for many years, otherwise, is just wishful thinking."
Hearing this, Timoshenko was immediately confused.
Total elements? All-weather? Three-dimensional? There are so many new words that I have never heard of!
How advanced has the German military theory been? It’s so shocking!
After the shock, Timoshenko asked again: "Comrade Xu Rui, what is an all-element, all-weather, three-dimensional offensive?"
Xu Rui replied: "The so-called total elements refer to all combat units participating in the war, all weapons, and all roads, bridges and vehicles used to support combat. All of these must be closely coordinated and connected with zero errors, and all-weather
, which refers to a round-the-clock continuous attack without giving the enemy any chance to breathe."
After all, Timoshenko was a soldier, so he understood this immediately, and then asked: "What about three-dimensionalization?"
Xu Rui added: "The so-called three-dimensional means to attack the enemy from the sky, the ground and underwater at the same time. Of course, considering that it has entered the severe winter, it is indeed difficult for the submarine force to participate in the war, so underwater attacks are not necessary.
But the air force and ground forces must work closely together."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Especially between the special forces and the air force, it is even more necessary to achieve complete synchronization. Wherever the signal source of the special forces is placed, the air force's bombers can immediately bomb.
Hit wherever you point, and only by doing the above can you quickly destroy the Mannerheim Line of Defense."
