Dobrov was trembling. Thinking that he was only in his early twenties and being watched by two scheming Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel, how could he not feel trembling?
Yang Mingzhi felt that at this moment, he was simply facing a trial, the so-called trial of whether he was loyal to him or not.
I'm afraid that the current situation is not entirely Dobrov's fault.
Feryudov and Kastyura, these two people with some status in Lubyanka, did not get their positions through backdoor connections. They were somewhat capable in interrogation and had many work experience in traveling far away.
So I kept getting promoted.
The two deliberately maintained a terrible silence, making the scene a bit stiff.
At this moment, the military train resumed operation and gradually left Yekaterinburg. The train roared towards the Ural Mountains and towards Europe.
Dobroff knew he was about to arrive in Europe, but now he was not excited about landing on another continent.
The other party had already started to ask some questions. It was obvious that the questioner was deliberately trying to maintain a serious and scary atmosphere. In this case, Yang Mingzhi knew that it was not easy to intervene, so he had to stand aside and silently wipe Doblov's sweat.
.
The two asked many simple questions, as if conducting a political review.
Political review? This is of course very important. Anyone who can meet Stalin must have a clean political identity and must support Bolshevism and Stalin.
The questions asked by the two people were also quite detailed. In fact, Yang Mingzhi himself did not even ask about Doblov’s detailed place of origin. By now, he already knew that Dobrov’s grandfather from many generations ago was actually a "twelve-year-old boy".
Moon Party", his family was exiled from Smolensk to Siberia.
"Ha! Your ancestors were convicted for opposing the Tsar? That's good. I guess in your generation, you will also oppose Kerensky?"
"Yes!" This was a very critical question. Dobrov even raised his voice, "Kerensky does not represent the people. Lenin saved the people. Now, Comrade Stalin will lead the people to defeat the aggressors!"
At this moment, Dobroff realized for the first time how useful the propaganda slogans he knew were. Today, he showed his true nature in front of two "vicious" lieutenants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The general interrogation made Feliudov quite satisfied, and he even joked to Kastliura: "It seems that when we return to Lubyanka, we will go through the motions, pass over the general interrogation, and go directly to the next step?"
Castellaura shrugged: "I think it's okay. I never thought there was a possibility of this young man being a bad element."
After hearing these two people's identification of his identity, Dobroff finally felt relieved. But, what is the "next link"?
Yang Mingzhi also nodded with satisfaction: "Now you two understand that he is a very good person. Perhaps Comrade Grishenko can explain more."
"No need." Feliudov shook his head, "We have already made a record and handed it over to the relevant personnel. Even if Dobrov has passed the political review, he just has to go through another stage of review. Comrade General, you know
Yes, I must change my clothes before going to the Kremlin."
"Yes! Not only changing clothes, you should also take a shower."
"Of course. Comrade General, this matter is a little more complicated. Of course Comrade Beria trusts you very much, but this Dobrov needs to be inspected in more detail."
"He?" Yang Mingzhi looked puzzled.
Castiura responded: "We have to give Dobrov some new clothes. If he is too sloppy when he meets the leader, that will be a bad thing!"
"This is all part of the inspection." Feliudov could see Dobrov's youthfulness and deliberately teased him: "Hey! Dobrov, you are only twenty years old and you can stay in the Kremlin for one night.
, what kind of honor is this? So, do you think a more detailed inspection is necessary? "
"Yes...yes!" Dobroff, who was at a loss, could only say yes.
"So, do you know what kind of special inspection that is?" Feliudov deliberately put on a sinister face, as if to scare a prisoner: "We will throw away all your clothes and send special personnel to inspect them carefully to ensure that
There won’t be anything on your body that could harm the leader, including some special parts, you...do you understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dobrov trembled desperately, and at the same time he was nervous and cursed in his mind: Are there any perverts among these guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? They are indeed a group of ruthless people who are ordered to kill people without blinking an eye.
But Yang Mingzhi heard the terrible mystery and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Forget it! Feliudov, you are just bullying Dobrov as a recent graduate. Don't look at him. He is twenty years old. He is psychologically terrible.
It’s a lot childish.”
"Ah, I'm not joking." Feliudov shrugged and continued: "Inspection is necessary, except for you. In addition to the inspector, we also have to inspect your sample guns. You should understand this."
"Yes, I have always understood."
Now that the words have come to this, Yang Mingzhi consciously should also solemnly warn them: "There is a reason for the sample gun to be temporarily taken care of by your Ministry of Internal Affairs. Remember, you must take good care of it. If anything goes wrong, it is your responsibility. You must remember
Stop! The leader has read the report on how they performed on the shooting range. I hope there won't be any trouble."
There is a strong threat in these words.
Felyudov could understand that what the general meant was that if an accident occurred while demonstrating the superiority of weapons to Stalin, the responsibility would not lie with the weapons research institute and production factory, but with the poor supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He had no choice but to answer bravely: "Everything is fine. There will be no mistakes in Lubyanka's work."
The military column gradually entered the mountainous area, as if entering the dividing line between Europe and Asia, and the climate also changed dramatically.
When the military column was still in Yekaterinburg, there were still thick dark clouds in the sky. It was getting dark. Through the car window, Yang Mingzhi suddenly saw the looming stars and the bright yellow crescent.
During the day, Yang Mingzhi and Felyudov chatted more, and also comforted and warned Dobrov about what to do after seeing Stalin.
How to do it? What else can be done? Holding your head high and being able to say "Дa" and "het" is the best.
The military train headed towards Moscow. At nine o'clock in the evening, the train arrived in Perm, another large city in the Ural region.
Perm itself is an important industrial city. Because it is located on the Kama River in the upper reaches of the Volga River, shipping transportation is quite developed.
It has transformed into a huge military factory. For example, the engine of the Il-2 ground attack aircraft is produced in the city's arsenal. A large number of military artillery are also produced here. In terms of military production capacity, it far exceeds Novosibirsk.
But the city is also known as the "Political Prisoner Concentration Camp", where a large number of opponents of Lenin, opponents of Stalin, Trotskyists, Kerensky supporters, and others who were convicted were detained here, even though the Soviet Union's manpower and material resources were already very tight during the war.
, there are still millions of such people imprisoned.
Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, Stalin will not be stupid enough to grant indiscriminate amnesty to prisoners. Those who have committed robbing, murder and other vicious crimes may be allowed to go to the battlefield to serve their crimes. If the "death row prisoners" die in battle, they are considered
Finally make some contribution to the alliance.
But what about those people? They cannot be released. They were imprisoned because they opposed Lenin and themselves. They are opponents, although they may also oppose the invaders.
By releasing these opponents you are creating dangerous enemies who must remain incarcerated.
Therefore, Stalin never gave much thought to this issue. They, as well as Germany and Germany's slave countries, all came to the same goal by different routes, and their goal was to destroy the Soviet Union that is struggling today.
The train station in Perm is busier than the one in Yekaterinburg. The train station is like this. On the city's river terminal, a large number of transport ships are connected by steel cables. The ships are either transporting troops or ammunition, and they are constantly flowing down the river.
Because the current climate is not so cold that the rivers freeze. One can follow the Kama River all the way to Stalingrad, which is undergoing fierce fighting. The river route to increase troops is second only to railway transportation, and it is also a very necessary means at present.
The city was like a huge arsenal, and it was a hot and busy place. The military train had no intention of staying here, and there was plenty of water and coal. The train rushed past in the dark night, and left the Ural Mountains at dawn.
There are no mountains outside the window! For the first time, the dawn of the morning sun appears in the world outside the window! Compared with the white snow in New Siberia, the world outside the window appears gray-green, which is the color of early winter.
This is Europe!
Now that Europe has arrived, can Moscow still be far behind?
What Yang Mingzhi and Dobrov didn't expect was that they soon saw a big river, which was the Volga River.
What was even more surprising was the speed of the military train. After traveling for more than two years, he felt the speed of the train for the first time.
The conductor who entered the luxury carriage explained that he had arrived in Vladimir at one o'clock in the afternoon, but the long-awaited military train had already left him behind in Kazan in the early morning.
The Soviet Union does have some high-end locomotives that can reach high speeds of 70 kilometers, but these locomotives must adapt to the slower speeds of other locomotives.
Yang Mingzhi estimated that because there were fewer vehicles at night, the military column could use maximum power to race. He could understand this behavior. After all, Stalin hoped that the military column could arrive in Moscow before the sun set on the 29th. Now? The military column
Still running wildly, there is still a long way to go before Vladimir.
This was a nerve-wracking trip, and Yang Mingzhi once again experienced Lao Maozi's spirit of "playing with life."
Is there anything more urgent now than to fulfill Stalin's order? The entire military train has been risking its life. The on-board radio has been coordinating with the railway dispatching department, forcing the other party to complete some dispatching and make way for this special military train.
, and even caused some trains to enter the ramp of the small station to avoid it.
Two high-performance locomotives are facing a huge test. The pressure of the boiler has reached the highest level, and the output power of the train has also reached the highest level. It actually surges at a speed of 80 kilometers. By the standards of this time and space, it really feels like "flying"
, if it were not a special mission, which train conductor would bet that the boiler would not explode due to pressure and run at maximum power.
As a passenger, Yang Mingzhi deeply felt the high speed of the train through the car window.
However, in that dimension of China, the trains prefixed with K have been cancelled. In other words, the lower speed limit of the speeding trains on China's traditional railways is also 150 kilometers per hour. The trains run at such high speeds
, and its relationship with the railway tracks is very limited. The railway itself has not undergone fundamental changes, only major innovations have been carried out on the electric train units.
Internal combustion engines are a thing of the past, and all trains burn electricity. In fact, the torque of electric motors is extremely strong, and the power they can provide to trains is more powerful than internal combustion engines. So much so that the minimum weight limit for freight trains is 20,000 tons, and even trains with 50,000 tons are not.
Rare. All this was unimaginable in the Soviet Union in 1942!
There are also high-speed trains in this time and space with speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour. They are so rare that they are almost still at the level of "experimentation." According to Yang Mingzhi's knowledge, the military train currently racing at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour is in
The Soviet Union is also very rare.
The fact that he was able to board such an express train was obviously under Stalin's care.
The train arrived in Vladimir half an hour ahead of schedule. The conductor planned to add water and coal and leave immediately. However, he never thought that the boiler had been under huge pressure for a long time and would explode if it did not rest.
Just like a marathon runner, he can run without stopping. If he doesn't even drink water in the middle, few people can really finish the race.
With this opportunity, Yang Mingzhi finally had the opportunity to get out of the car and smoke a cigarette.
Standing on the roadbed paved with gravel, Yang Mingzhi, holding a cigarette in his hand, couldn't help but look at the blue sky. Before getting off the car, he checked the wooden boxes of the sample guns to confirm that everything was normal.
The fact that we have reached Vladimir at incredible speed does not leave anyone thinking.
"General, we will soon arrive at our destination, which is the same station we started from, Kazan Station." Feludov, who was also holding a cigarette, said.
"I understand. So far, your mission has basically been completed."
"Yes! What an extraordinary mission. You went to Novosibirsk and conceived the design blueprint for a new gun on the train. In just the past three weeks, we actually returned to Moscow with a prototype gun."
"Forget it!" Yang Mingzhi waved his hand. "Your flattery can't make me happy. I'm thinking about another problem now."
"Oh? Please tell me."
"That's it." Yang Mingzhi pointed to the locomotive that was slowly decompressing in the clouds and fog. "That's them, incredible locomotives. I think if there were tens of thousands of such locomotives in the whole Soviet Union, the transportation of materials and troops would definitely be huge.
Times. Then compared to the past, the number of troops sent to the front line at the same time will be doubled or even more. Do you two know why the Northern Army won the American Civil War?"
"I don't know..." Feliudov answered truthfully. He really didn't know the history of these foreign countries. He knew that the Tsar was evil and Lenin was great. That was enough. But the general also knew something about the history of the United States? Really?
Surprisingly.
Yang Mingzhi did not complain and continued to point to the locomotive not far away: "That's what it depends on. The Southern Army almost entirely ran into the battlefield on foot, while the Northern Army made extensive use of trains. It is self-evident who has the advantage."
"So, does this have more to do with us?" Feliudov asked deliberately.
"Of course! The guerrillas tried their best to destroy the railway transportation controlled by the enemy, and the enemy had to rely on trucks and carriages. On the other hand, our army can rush to the battlefield quickly by train. We have a huge advantage in the speed of troop delivery, so the enemy is trying hard to
But our victory in the Battle of Stalingrad is only a matter of time. I am not optimistic. The enemy's logistics will collapse first, and our trains will continuously deliver flour to the front line."
"Victory is of course ours." Feliudov was very happy to hear the general's passionate analysis. "You'd better tell Comrade Stalin these words."
"Well, I think Comrade Vasilevsky has understood these problems a long time ago." Throwing away the end of his cigarette, Yang Mingzhi sighed: "I really hope to meet the chief of general staff of the alliance, maybe during this trip to Moscow
, I can fulfill one of my wishes, I hope that person is in Moscow at this time. Let’s go, comrades, it’s time to leave in a moment.”
