Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 184 >

“It came within the crossroads.”

Enemy tanks were coming through the passage where the entire company was ambushed.

“Did the squad not send the alert?”

“I don’t think we even had time to give a warning in that situation.”

Nikita smiled at Dimitri’s answer and nodded.

After shooting the first target, we talked about how to select the next target in advance. I just wanted it to happen as planned.

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy. In the first place, isn’t it a plan of operation to be the first to die in a war? If they just went back to their operation, the army would have won one hundred and one hundred victories.

Realizing that enemy tanks were clearly within range, Nikita shouted.

“Shoot!”

A gunshot rang out at the command that made my throat explode.

The shells fired in unison blew up the turrets of different tanks.

the forefront and the last,

Enemy tanks marching in a row burned.

“Kill all the nazis!”

The loaders tested their limits and loaded their shells with all their might, the gunners’ eyes were covered in blood, and the commanders turned on their lights and rushed in.

“Front train! Shoot!”

The number of enemy tanks is reduced by the number of shells flying. Embarrassed enemy soldiers have yet to respond.

– Kwaang!

In an instant, a roar rang out.

The enemy tank 4, who barely turned the turret, fired a 7,5 cm shell.

Tank IV with the new guns can do effective damage to the T-32. The shock wave of the shell that barely deviated caused tinnitus in the ear.

However, if I thought it would be scary, I would not have volunteered to enlist in the first place.

“Shoot him! A turret-oriented man behind a burning tank!”

– Kwaang!

Three shells were aimed at one tank, and the tank 4, which was shattered to pieces for being the first to fire a counter shot, ejected all of its crew into hell.

No matter how many shots they fired, the battle ended only after they were all bathed in sweat from the heat of the battle.

Burning enemy tanks and corpses were rolling all over the place, and the graphite of the destroyed tanks made it difficult to identify even friendly tanks.

However, all vehicles clearly respond to the radio, and the escape route is blocked, so there is no hole for the enemy to escape.

However, most of the tanks were depleted of shells and were capable of firing machine guns, and in the end, the tanks with residual ammunition reconfirmed whether there were any surviving enemy tanks.

He pretended to have been defeated and then shot a shell in the back of the head, but he was cautious because he was hit once by a technique, but in the end it was a futile effort. Everyone was hit at least one shot and the crew was dead or dying.

The company members who showed mercy to the members of the SS who were dying with pistols, etc., celebrated the victory. Without losing a single person or losing a single tank, he fought two battles and destroyed several times the number of enemies.

After some time, the main body of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion arrived at the battle area, and they had no choice but to witness the one-sided massacre with their mouths wide open.

“Hamburg has fallen! Russian troops are heading towards Kilo. We must escape the battleships now!”

“Bynn is being attacked. The Vienna Defenders report that they cannot afford any more losses!”

“Where is Darth Reich Satan?”

“According to General Hauser’s report, they fought hard to protect Vienna, but the damage was so great that the troops were reorganized at Modling…”

“Obviously I told you to keep the Russians out of the Danube! But what about Modling? Did you just give up on empty defenses and go all out?”

“Sir, Darth Reich’s division has already lost nearly 90% of its combat power. At best, they fought hard until only the battalion-level troops remained, and they retreated, and General Howser is said to have passed the hurdle of death several times.”

The difference is so great that you can feel a sense of defeat from the combat power of the unit. The Germans tried to prevent the Russians from crossing the Danube River, but the Russians were already breaking through the Danube and rushing into the city of Vienna as if recalling the memories of the last great war.

Moreover, the offensive did not come only from the Czech side. The troops were advancing from the Hungarian direction as well, and now that the forces that tried to stop them were destroyed, they would arrive in Vienna in a day or two at the most. At that point, the only thing the Germans could try was a retreat.

“Send Totenkopf and the Police Armored Grenadier Division to Vienna, now! And tell Duche to put in more troops, to remind him that if Austria breaks through, Italy won’t be spared either!”

Hitler, who had mentioned the two divisions called the most elite of the Southern Front, panted and sat down.

“Prime Minister, please calm down. Excitement is not good for the body.”

At the doctor’s words, Theodore Morel, Hitler took a deep breath.

“Huh, yes… it should be, Joseph! You’ll fix those bastards’ heads instead of me!”

Deputy Prime Minister Joseph Djugashvili opened his mouth when he saw my friend step down.

“3rd SS Division Totenkov, 4th SS Division Police Armored Grenadier Division, how are you both now?”

“Both are readily available. However……”

“We are reinforcing the Police Armored Grenadier Division in Vienna, with the Totenkov Division as the main force in a delayed battle against the enemy forces in the direction of Hungary.”

“I…and I’ll report you…”

“Something.”

“The LSSAH was annihilated in Schleswig. The brigade forces below the brigade leader (LSSAH’s promotion to division was about a year later than Das Reich and Totenkov in the original history, and up until that point were at the brigade level) were completely annihilated by the Russian army.”

In Schleswig, where one or two divisions or brigades were destroyed, LSSAH, and the fact that the Prime Minister’s Guard Adolf Hitler was annihilated had a different weight.

Not long ago, during the Siege of Berlin, the Gross Deutscheland Armored Grenadier Division had a headache just because all of the division commanders and below were killed or taken prisoner without getting out of the siege.

“To re-create.”

“Yes?”

“Are you going to upset the Prime Minister by letting him know that the unit named after him has been wiped out?”

“However…….”

Don’t even post annihilation reports?

No matter how long the opponent had taken over the real power of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, Hitler had crossed the line.

However, the generals of the SS did not hesitate to salute. On the contrary, the National Guard was even more frightened by the sight.

“Yes, I understand.”

It was too obvious that most of the Stutzstafel force would be torn apart in this offensive, but the deputy prime minister, who also served as SS minister, was calm.

In the first place, I knew that consuming some SS power was not a power that would be shaken by now. If planting is uncomfortable, it is because of the war situation, not because his subordinates have decreased.

“And, as I said, contact Duche for more Italians.”

“All right.”

It was a directive given by Hitler, but Joseph dared to repeat it.

“Well, who would be the successor to Richthofen?”

In the end, Richthofen could not survive the injuries sustained in London and died in bed. It was the exact opposite of Goebbels’ return to work.

“I recommend Ernhard Milch.”

“Mill? He is not a Jew!”

“What nonsense!”

“Milch is a second-class Jew! His father, Anton Milch, was not Jewish! Even if I immediately removed the rank, it would not be enough, so I just kept it in consideration of the contributions I had made for the Luftwaffe…”

“stop!”

Joseph shouted.

“The Gestapo has already completed an investigation into this matter, Milch is not Jewish, his adoptive father is Jewish. He is a pure-blooded Aryan. So it was an argument that didn’t need to be started in the first place.”

In fact, the Jewish standards themselves were very loose even during the time of Gregor, who was already dead, and they are still very loose, so if you are determined and want to get out, you can get out of it. It was almost at a level that only those who actually believed in Judaism were caught, and especially if it was an active national defense force or a caller, it was not applied in the first place.

You’re short on staff right now, so you take out the soldiers who are already on the board, bringing the Jews into the ghetto to the front line? That’s crazy.

“The new Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe will be appointed by Ernhard Milch, so let’s not fuss over it any more.”

Come to think of it, there was one person who had not yet recovered.

‘… It was time to put it away.’

“The meeting is over, so that the military can stop the offensive in the north and south, and if it is determined that additional personnel transfers are necessary, report it in writing, and the foreign ministry grabs two by the neck and receives more troops, the same goes for Britain.”

The British, blood-drying after Suez’s cut, had most of their available troops stuck in Suez. By enforcing the ration system and entering an all-out war system, they do their best to squeeze the nation’s capabilities and survive somehow.

But Zugashvili thought it would be far better to withdraw the now meaningless fighting forces from Africa and send them to Europe right away. It was simple logic. Thanks to the progress in synthetic petroleum technology, even a little bit of oil started to be produced on its own.

“If you don’t give in troops, tell them that they will withdraw the troops from the African front and send them to the South.”

If you threaten me like this, I’ll give you a decent amount of power.

“Everyone left, except Reinhard Heidrich.”

After a while, when all the participants of the meeting left and he was alone with Heidrich, Djugashvili spoke softly.

“You have a mission. It is a mission that must be accomplished.”

It must have been an offer that could never be rejected for Heidrich, whose status had become unstable due to the failure of the last special operation.

No, as long as it’s the one he’s making in the first place, there’s no way and shouldn’t be any offer that can be rejected.

“Give the order, I will follow.”

One day, when he will no longer be needed, Jugashvili, taking his eyes off Heidrich, who was sitting quietly, gave the order, whether he knew he was going to take responsibility for everything that happened and bury him.

“You don’t think the Junkers are really rude.”

“Shall I set an example?”

It is not difficult to manipulate the second Blomberg-Frich incident.

“No, more than that… I think I’m going to have to let my old father go soon.”

In the beginning, the human named Jugashvili did not have good feelings for the race called the father. Contrary to how I feel about my mother.

A devout Orthodox mother who suffered from domestic violence from an early age and was the only one who supported her aspiring theologian son. It was only possible to pay for living expenses through the Gestapo even after leaving it in a distant Russian land and gaining power, and it was not easy to bring him or hear his voice.

However, it was cut off when the war broke out. Will you live well?

Of course, the father that Jugashi Billy had to send was not his own.

What is the father of a nation, of an empire?

Heidrich, who understood the gist of the command with just those words, added a salute.

“Isn’t an uncle better than a brother as an executor after my father’s death?”

“I will.”

Heidrich bowed his head in response to the metaphor of his father.

No orders have just come and gone here. Returning to the Imperial Security Headquarters, no special orders will come and go.

Shortly thereafter, the German emperor, Wilhelm III, who was seriously wounded in a Russian airstrike and was in a period of recovery, died from the aftereffects of his injuries.

However, the Nazis refused to crown Luis Ferdinand, leading to the crowning of their compliant Wilhelm Eitel Friedrich Christian Karl as Frederick IV.
