Chapter Twenty-six Sharp turn
After half a month of clear weather, a cloud floating from the east condensed a thick layer of dark clouds over the entire Siberia. This may indicate that the first rain after the beginning of spring this year is about to come.
Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window that looked like it was only installed with glass not long ago, Chu Sinan's face looked exactly like the sky outside her classmates, and it was covered with thick haze. His gloom came from a statistical data, which was the loss of commanders of all troops in the entire military region since Abakumov came to the Second Military Region.
In just less than two weeks, the Second Military Region, from top to bottom, from the chief of staff of the Military Region to the lieutenant-level commander of the regiment headquarters, was killed in total. In the subsequent mutiny, two more were killed by the mutiny soldiers. At the same time, three were missing and their lives and deaths are unknown. As for ordinary soldiers, the losses were not small. The troops stationed in Holtrey, especially the troops directly affiliated with Mainesky, and more than 70 people who were close to him, were convicted and executed at the beginning. No matter what, after this incident, after the Second Siberian Army, which ruled the two armies, was also severely damaged. As Zhukov said, it was almost impossible to restore the Second Military Region's original combat effectiveness in the short term.
Although Chu Sinan was angry, he still felt incredible. He could not believe that Abakumov, who made him look cowardly and had no opinion, could do such a cruel and ruthless thing. Could it be that his performances were just false appearances? Then this person's scheming was too deep.
"Knock!"
Two crisp sounds of the front door came from behind, interrupting Chu Sinan's familiar thoughts.
"Come in." Chu Sinan took his eyes away from the window and turned around and said.
"General," the door opened, and Batov walked in with a document in his hand. "The notice you want is ready. Comrade Zhukov asked me to take it to you for the following review. If you have no comment, we will distribute it to the various subordinate troops."
Chu Sinan made a gesture and signaled the other party to show the notice. This notice was to be distributed to all the commanders and fighters of the Second Military Region and ordinary soldiers. The main issues are about the detailed process of this incident and the specific handling methods. This will involve many issues. Therefore, Chu Sinan had to be careful.
After carefully reading the news from Batov, Chu Sinan felt very satisfied. In this news, the cause of the incident was attributed to Mainesky, saying that it was because the Soviet traitor secretly colluded with the Germans to plan an assassination activity against the command officials. The plan was found in advance by the Security Committee, so he appointed Abakumov to organize the investigation. However, the latter obviously abused his rights, thus expanding the scope of the investigation infinitely. He neglected his duties, believed Mainesky's slander, and charged him with killing innocent people, which eventually led to a mutiny in the Second Military Region. Now, the whole matter has been investigated clearly, and Mainesky, the chief evil leader, has received the punishment he deserves, and another major figure in this incident, Abakumov, will also pay the price for his actions.
At the end of the notice, Chu Sinan's decision to deal with the incident was also indicated. Logically speaking, as one of the main leaders of the Security Committee, Abakumov had no right to punish him. However, Chu Sinan's opinion on handling it was different. As the first secretary of the Security Committee, he was the supreme leader of this department, and at the same time, he was also one of the members of the Supreme Command. Therefore, when he came forward to deal with Abakumov, it could be seen as a resolution of the Supreme Command, or as a portal of the Security Committee cleaning up.
As for handling the problem of the mutiny in the military region, the explanation given in the notice is to wait for the handling opinions of the Supreme Command. At the same time, Zhukov, as the commander of the military region, will also go to Moscow on the 20th day, the day after the report is sent, and listen to the Kremlin's punishment decision.
In essence, this announcement misinterprets the truth of the facts, and by putting all the blame on Mainesky and Abakumov, it cuts off the role played by Buluhell and the Supreme Command in this incident, and at the same time, it also downplays Chu Sinan's shadow in this incident.
Things that distort facts cannot be perfect, and they will inevitably have loopholes. Just like in this notice, there are two loopholes: First, since Mainesky was Abakumov's main investigative object, why did the latter trust this main investigative object in the subsequent period and even give him preferential treatment? Second, Abakumov expanded the scope of the investigation and gave people a crime of frame-up. What is the purpose of it? How could he have such courage?
However, Chu Sinan would never care about the existence of these loopholes. After all, there are too many lies in this world, and there are always fewer people who know about every lie and many people believe in it. Those who like to ask the bottom of everything generally do not live a long life. Some lies, the initial exposers, are always historical scholars who are decades or even hundreds of years apart, but that is the funeral.
"Just send it out like this, no need to modify it." Chu Sinan handed the notice back to Batov and said with a smile.
"Well, I'll do it right away." Batov nodded, but did not leave, but looked at Chu Sinan with some embarrassment, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Comrade Batov, is there anything else?" Chu Sinan asked in confusion.
"That's right," Batov said in a silence. "According to your and Comrade Zhukov's explanation, Abakumov is going to be escorted to the military headquarters square for execution, but now he still refuses to plead guilty and keeps clamoring for something we have no right to deal with him, and also said that Buliu needs to be...."
"Okay, I know." Chu Sinan waved his hand and interrupted Batov, then thought for a while and said, "Since he is going to yell, then block his mouth. Well, if you don't understand, then ask the people from the detained security committee, and they will tell you there are no less than dozens of ways."
"Oh, okay, I understand." Batov breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had such a solution, but Abakumov had a special identity. With Chu Sinan here, he was unwilling to attack such a person privately. He came to ask Chu Sinan what he meant. It was to let the general express his opinion. Now that he has received the command, he has nothing to be taboo.
"General, in a while, we will set out to the military command center. If you have nothing else, then prepare for it first." Before leaving the door, Batov said to Chu Sinan again.
Chu Sinan nodded understandingly and said nothing. From collecting evidence, announcing the handling, and then finally carrying out a firing shot against Abakumov, it took only two days. Chu Sinan knew that this approach seemed too hasty. But this was a helpless move after all.
The news from Kluchkov from Moscow is that the incident in Holtrey is no longer concealed. The Kremlin, especially Bulucher, is very likely to have received some related information. He has asked about this matter several times in the past two days.
According to Chu Sinan's plan, he wanted to evacuate the matter on Holtrey before getting news from Moscow, and then form a report to make a solid report.
In order to cooperate with his plan, Zhukov ordered the blockade of the entire Second Military Region, and no one could enter or leave. On the other hand, Klyuchkov also ordered the Second General Administration of the Security Committee to block all the news from Holtrey to the maximum extent. It is precisely because of these two aspects that the direction of the Kremlin has only known that Chu Sinan has arrived in Holtrey until now, but no one knows what he did there.
Before Buluheer found out about Holtrey's situation, he dealt with Abakumov, which was an important part of Chu Sinan's plan. Therefore, time is tight now, and even if the handling of Abakumov is a bit hasty, Chu Sinan couldn't care about it.
After staying in his room for a while, Chu Sinan estimated that Zhukov and the others should have arranged everything, so he put on his coat, military cap, and went out.
"You're here," Chu Sinan's land car stopped in front of Zhukov's office building. Zhukov, who had been waiting for a long time, strode to meet him. He grabbed Chu Sinan's arm like he was, and said with a worry-faced look, "I'm going to find you."
"What's wrong?" Chu Sinan smiled, "Is the general so impatient to send Abakumov on the road?"
"Oh, when is it now? You are still in the mood to joke," Zhukov shook his head and said helplessly, "I tell you that there is something wrong with this matter."
"What happened?" Chu Sinan felt in his heart. He only felt that something bad had happened.
"There are people coming to Moscow," Zhukov said in a heavy tone, "it was specially for the handling of this incident. And I also received news that Gubishev's Third Military Region and Hobikoyev's First Military Region have entered a state of full alert and are probably going to take action against us."
"This is impossible!" Chu Sinan said loudly as if such a big thing happened, it is impossible for Klyuchkov to notify me of it!"
"But I got the news is absolutely reliable," Zhukov shrugged and said helplessly, "The four motorized divisions of the First Military Region and the Third Military Region have completed the preparation. The former has moved to Kineshma, while the latter has arrived at Gorky. The 64th Motorized Division of the First Military Region encountered my 439th Infantry Division 70 kilometers east of Ivanovo and are currently in confrontation. People from Moscow have entered my security zone, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Holtrey in more than twenty minutes."
"What's going on? What's going on?" Chu Sinan was in chaos in an instant, and the matter was very clear. There was something wrong with Kluchkov. This guy betrayed him at the critical moment. With such a big move from Moscow, he would never get news.
"Calm down, calm down!" After walking back and forth in front of Zhukov, Chu Sinan kept comforting himself mentally. However, it is not an easy thing to calm down at this time. You must know that in all his plans, Kluchkov's link is very important. If something goes wrong here, the consequences will be unimaginable. Just like now, without Kluchkov's information, Chu Sinan doesn't even know what happened in Moscow. What's particularly important is that this person also has many things that Chu Sinan doesn't want outsiders to know. Once he surrenders to Bulucher's side, then... Chu Sinan dares not think about these issues.
Judging from Chu Sinan's expression, Zhukov has seen that the situation is not good. However, as a veteran who has experienced countless storms and waves, his psychological quality is better. So calm down first.
He reached out and patted Chu Sinan's shoulder. Zhukov said, "Don't panic, we are not at a dead end yet. Calm down and maybe we can come up with a good solution."
"What else can I do?" Chu Sinan closed his eyes and sighed, "I think there is only one possibility now, that is, Klyuchkov has defected to Buluhell. From the beginning, this matter was a trap that was completely unyielding, but I believed in people's words and got into this trap without thinking. Now, if Buluhell wants to take me away, there is no need to find any excuses. Everything I did in Holtrey is enough for him to deal with me. Alas, I think things too simple and trust some people too much."
Zhukov was silent. He knew Chu Sinan's situation. This young man was like most generals in the Kremlin. He was a person with a prominent status but no actual military power. The only thing he could rely on was probably the security committee that was firmly run by his wife. Now that there was a problem with this ace trump card, it would be all over for him.
"Brother," Chu Sinan suddenly smiled after a long silence. He said to Zhukov, "It seems that I can't overcome this difficulty. Now I've seen it. At worst, it's a death. It's just a pity that I think is perfect, but I have implicated you, brother."
The word "Brother?" made Zhukov sound novel. Although he didn't understand the meaning of the word very well, he felt a little kind of friendly. To be honest, he didn't like Chu Sinan before. After all, in this incident, he was led by this young man from beginning to end, which made him feel uncomfortable. But now, he put down his uncomfortable thoughts and did not do anything else, just because he saw a general's life from Chu Sinan.  ̄ ̄ From the hidden dragon to the stunning abyss, to the phoenix dance in the sky, and finally the birds were buried. To be honest, Zhukov felt that if Chu Sinan failed this time, his fate would probably be even more miserable than himself. At best, he was just a wrong direction. And this young man not only had the wrong direction, but even like a turbulent sea. How could Buluheer tolerate him?
"Brother, to be honest, I'm very unwilling to accept it," Chu Sinan didn't know what Zhukov was thinking at this time. He just sighed and said to himself, "But nothing is useful now. I think, since I am destined to fail, it might as well be more tragic, hehe. Brother, I have an idea, which should be the best way to use at the moment."
"Oh, let's hear it." Zhukov asked anxiously with a happy expression.
Chu Sinan smiled without answering. He reached out and took off his hat from his head, then handed it to Zhukov. Then, he whipped off the collar flower that symbolized the status of a general on his collar.
"What are you doing?!" Zhukov was startled by him, hurriedly reached out and pulled his arm, and asked in surprise.
"Brother, this mutiny in the Second Military Region was entirely planned by me, Chu Sinan, and has nothing to do with you and anyone else in the Second Military Region," Chu Sinan casually threw the lieutenant general's flower to the ground, and then said without rushing. "To this day, I still keep all the documents when planning this mutiny, including the original manuscript of orders sent to Kluchkov. These evidences can confirm the authenticity of what I said."
"What do you mean?" Zhukov's eyes flashed. He looked at Chu Sinan's face and asked calmly.
"Of course, these things may not be enough to save you from the commander's punishment, but I think you can at least get rid of your relationship with this mutiny. In this way, the punishment you will be subject to will be reduced. This is the only thing I can do for you now."
Chu Sinan said, unbuttoned the buttons of his top, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his close-fitting shirt, and handed it to Zhukov.
"This is my order manuscript. Brother, please take it." Chu Sinan said.
After taking the original order from Chu Sinan, Zhukov opened it and looked at it, then frowned, without saying a word, and didn't know what was thinking.
"You really decided to do this? Don't regret it?" After a while, Zhukov glanced at Chu Sinan and said lightly.
"I, Chu Sinan, never regret doing things," Chu Sinan said with a smile, "Besides, this can make me feel more comfortable. What else is there to regret?"
Zhukov held the original order in his left hand and groped around with his right hand, as if he was looking for something, but he did not find it in the end.
"I have it here." Batov, who had been standing behind Zhukov, suddenly came over. He took out a silver lighter with the German Eagle logo from his pocket, and said after taking a photo.
Zhukov put the paper in his hand on the flame without hesitation. After watching it instantly turn into a fire butterfly, he let it float in the breeze.
"Little brother," Zhukov stretched out his arm and hugged Chu Sinan's shoulder hard, "Oh, according to your Chinese habits, you call me brother, should I call you that's the way I call you?"
"Oh?" Chu Sinan smiled bitterly, thinking that he called him brother, and in a blink of an eye he became "little brother", "It should be my brother."
"Oh, brother, yes, it's not bad. This is a friendly name." Zhukov nodded and suddenly said, "Brother, it seems that you will always owe me a favor this time. I, Zhukov, can't do anything to sell my friends in exchange for self-protection. No matter what kind of punishment you will be punished in the future, let's face it together."
"Brother, have you figured it out?" Chu Sinan asked calmly.
"I suddenly realized that I had never been as awake as I am now." Zhukov looked at him and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay," Chu Sinan said loudly, "In this way, at least in prison, everyone will not feel lonely, hahaha..."
"Yes, no matter what he will do in the future," Zhukov said readily, "Well, for the sake of our brothers and brothers, you might as well have a good drink now. Yes, I still have two bottles of good vodka, all of which were seized from Abakumov. Now let's kill them, how about it?"
"Two generals," Batov suddenly said, "Can you, can you count me?"
"Oh?" Chu Sinan was stunned.
"I think you want to cheat two glasses of wine?" Zhukov's eyes were a little wet, but he pointed at Batov and laughed loudly.
"Haha, I've seen through." He spread his hands and said with a smile.
