Chapter 27: A twist

Konev looked around from the train door opened by the guards for himself. This was his fourth time since he entered the military. As a member of the Second Military Region, he was quite moved by the revisiting place in the old place. Now, he is very different from the small lieutenant. As one of the members of the Supreme Command, his current identity is already an admiral. From a lieutenant to an admiral, it is naturally self-evident that he cherishes everything he has now.

This time, Konev felt that he had encountered something difficult. When he came to Holtrey this time, he naturally would not have been to inspect military affairs, and of course he did not come to travel around. He was here to deal with the mutiny in the Second Military Region, and at the same time escorted a former friend and a young man who was quite valued by him to return to Moscow. This was Buluhell's order. Although the resolution of the Supreme Command was not passed, he had to implement this order.

Along the way, Konev kept thinking about a question, that is, what happened between Chu Sinan and Buluhell, so that the latter tried to get rid of him regardless of the dissuasion of everyone. Could it be that this young man had any evil actions and was noticed by Buluhell? This seemed impossible. No matter how Konev thought, he felt that Chu Sinan was not such a bold and arrogant person. He wanted to ask what the reason was, but in the face of Buluhell's gloomy face, Konev did not dare to speak.

To be honest, Konev did not agree with Buluhell's decision from the bottom of his heart, regardless of his previous relationship. Just talking about the reputation that Chu Sinan currently has, he should not be so hasty. This young man had just achieved a brilliant victory in the battlefield against Germany and was listed as the cover character by the American Times magazine, calling him the star of the red Soviet young generation. Among the ordinary Soviet citizens, this young man from China is also quite famous. But in less than two months since the Northern Front War ended, Buluhell got rid of him in one fell swoop. What impact will the news have brought? What can the charges he was charged with? Treason?

For the mutiny of the Second Military Region? Just kidding, I still have to worry about the fact that this matter is too late. How can I get it to the public for publicity? Saying that he is a German spy? That is even more ridiculous. A German spy like Chu Sinan is probably chewing on him. It is probably because Hitler has always had his thoughts on it. Only those who say this excuse will believe it. What's more, there is still no unified opinion within his own group. The attitude of several people led by Jakil is ambiguous, while Vasilevsky clearly expressed his opposition. In this case, Bulucher was stubborn and stubborn, and God knows what chaos will happen in the end. Konev thinks he will leave some room this time. Let's talk about the wind direction.

"Why didn't Comrade Zhukov see his people?" After looking at the surrounding environment, Konev realized that the station was deserted. There were no higher-level people except the two colonels. As for Zhukov, he was even less likely to see him.

"I don't know." One of the colonels in charge of greeting him replied, perhaps because they felt that the sentence was too stiff, and the colonel added, "It's probably in his temporary office."

"What about General Chu Sinan?" Konev felt a little angry. Logically, as a general, Zhukov should come to greet him.

"They should be together." Another colonel replied.

"Where is Comrade Zhukov's temporary office? Take me there immediately." Konev took off his hat, dusted the floating soil on the top of his hat, and said unhappy.

"General, please come with me." The first colonel nodded, then pointed to a military vehicle parked not far away and said, "It's not very far away. It takes a few minutes at most to take the bus."

Konev didn't say anything. He walked straight towards the car, and without waiting for the colonel to open the car door for him, he pulled the door and got into the car. He felt quite frustrated now. Although the two colonels in charge of reception were very respectful to him, Konev could feel deep hostility from their eyes. Someone once said that Zhukov was a man with a bad temper but very capable person. All the troops he led were taken over by him like an iron bucket, which could be said to be splashing water. In the past, Konev was skeptical about this statement, but now it seems that it is true.

The car quickly drove out of Holch's station, and then, in just a few minutes, entered a heavily guarded courtyard, and finally stopped in front of a small red brick double-storey building.

"It's here?" Konev looked upstairs through the car window, then asked, "Take me up."

"Yes, general." The colonel in the front seat responded, then got out of the car and opened the door for Konev.

Zhukov's temporary office building was not as tightly guarded as outside. Konev went upstairs and could hear laughter coming from not far ahead in the corridor. There was a young voice that sounded very familiar, and it should belong to Chu Sinan.

"General, this is here. Go in by yourself. Comrade Zhukov doesn't like others disturbing him while he is drinking, so..." The colonel stopped in front of a door, and he turned around and said to Konev.

"Well, you go." Konev waved his hand and signaled the colonel to leave before he reached out and pushed the door in.

The situation in the room made Konev's heart even more angry. I saw Chu Sinan, Zhukov, and a guy who looked in his forties and wearing this major general's uniform gathered at a table to drink happily. The major general Konev also knew Batov, the former commander of the Sixty-Fifteenth Army.

These three guys didn't go to greet him, but hid here to drink, and did not take him seriously as the general and the Minister of Defense. What made Konev angry was that these guys were obviously drunk a little proud. They were all dressed in disheveled, with their chests exposed, and they didn't look like they were a general at all.

"Three of you are so interested." Standing at the door, Konev sneered and said in a cold tone.

"Oh, it's Comrade Stepanovich," Chu Sinan saw Konev who suddenly broke in. He held the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "I guess you must have smelled the smell of the wine. Come on, Batov, go and get a wine glass for our minister."

"Okay, general." Batov put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up and said.

"No, I'm not in the mood now." Konev waved his hand and stopped Batov who was about to leave, and said impatiently.

"Why? Comrade Stepanovich, everyone is old friends. Are you stingy with the face of drinking a glass of wine now?" Chu Sinan shook the wine glass in his hand and said slowly, "Or, well, or are you worried that you will be charged with rebellion, counter-revolution, and other crimes?"

"I bet it was the latter one." Zhukov put the wine glass on the table in front of him and said with a smile.

"You still bet?" Chu Sinan blinked his eyes and said incredible, "Then what are you suppressing this time? Don't forget that you have lost all five divisions in your military region to me just now. You are now the real commander of the bare feet. Hahaha..."

"Who said?" Zhukov glared at his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "I still have two artillery regiments, one independent infantry brigade, two anti-aircraft artillery regiments. Well, there is also one guard company."

"Have you made enough trouble?" Konev finally couldn't help it. He quickly walked to the table, shook his hand, swept the two wine glasses on the table to the ground, and said angrily, "Look at you, do you still look like a general?"

"Bang! Bang!" Two crisp sounds, the crystal clear wine glass fell to pieces on the ground, and the original vodka in the cup was also splashed everywhere.

"Oh, it seems that Comrade Stepanovic really doesn't want to have a drink with us." Chu Sinan looked at Konev's angry face, then looked at the glass fragments on the ground, and then said for a while.

"But even so, there is no need to get so angry, right?" Zhukov shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Do you know, this is the best Volga. I have never enjoyed it since I arrived in the Second Military Region."

"Forget it, forget it," Chu Sinan leaned back and buried himself in the sofa. At the same time, he waved his hand casually and said, "If you don't drink, don't drink it, you've already drunk a lot of it."

"Hmph!" Konev sneered, sat down in front of an empty seat on the sofa next to the table, and then took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

"Hey, I'll say Comrade Stepanovich," Chu Sinan looked at Konev in a flash. After he lit the cigarette and took a few more sips, he asked curiously, "You're here alone?"

"What are you asking about this?" Konev turned his head and looked at him, asking unhappy.

"It's just curious, just ask casually." Chu Sinan said casually insincerely, and then asked, "What instructions did our marshal give you? Should we execute us directly on the spot, or should we take us back to Moscow first?"

"You? What are you?" Konev was stunned at first, and immediately understood what Chu Sinan said. He looked at Zhukov and said, "I didn't receive any instructions to deal with you. What the marshal told me was to bring you back to Moscow."

He said this and pointed at Zhukov: "As for him, I think there will be someone from the Security Council to deal with it."

"Oh, the Security Committee?" Chu Sinan smiled sarcastically, "Is Klyuchkov? Well, yes, he should be the celebrity in front of the marshal now. I think he has been waiting for a long time this day."

"Klyuchkov?" Konev shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not his turn to deal with this matter. He himself is unable to protect himself now. I don't know if he can adapt to the life in Rubyyanka prison."

"What did you say?" Chu Sinan was shocked. He suddenly sat upright from the sofa and asked anxiously, "Klyuchkov was imprisoned in Rubyyanka Prison?! Why?!"

"You ask me? I want to ask you!" Konev slapped the table suddenly, then shouted loudly, "You said, what shameful actions did you make? Why did you make things happen to this point today? Do you know what chaos is like in Moscow now? First, there was a mutiny in the Second Military Region, and then an internal strife of the Security Committee. You must not be able to escape these two things. Vasily said that you had ill intentions, and I don't believe it. Vasilevsky had a displeasure with him for this. Now it seems that all this is..."

"Hey hey, don't be anxious about putting my hat on me," Chu Sinan stopped Konev and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly. What's going on with Klyuchkov? What's going on with the Security Committee?!"

"Hmph, do you think the security committee is firmly controlled by you? Do you think that it is your own world?" Konev glanced at him and said, "I tell you. That's impossible. Klyuchkov had intercepted the information of the Second Military Region and transferred to the Kremlin without authorization, and even set up checkpoints on the line from Moscow to Holtrey. Vasily had already received news about these things. So the night before, the Kremlin guards blocked him in a secret residence."

Konev paused at this point. Then he glanced at Chu Sinan fiercely, and then continued, "Hey, I said, even if you want to make a mistake, you should find some reliable people to do things, right? That Klyuchkov, ah, the evil ghost in the whole color. He was confused about his true identity, and people like this could actually work on the safety committee. I really don't know what you think."

From Konev's words, Chu Sinan finally understood something. It seemed that Klyucchkov did not betray him, but that guy was frivolous in his work and was betrayed by his secretary and mistress. Who is Klyucchkov's secretary? Chu Sinan seemed to have some impression, as if he was a young woman named Susanna, who looked good and very attractive. But no matter how seductive this woman could lead to crime, you can't reveal the secrets of life and death to her, right? Klyucchkov deserves to die!

But then again, Chu Sinan's heart was much more relaxed now. He was walking in the dark night without seeing his fingers for a long time, and suddenly saw a little light not far away. The hope that had just lost was coming back to him at this moment.

Indeed, Klyuchkov did not betray him, nor did he collude with Bulucher to put a trap on himself. This is a great luck. For Chu Sinan, this means that his entire plan has not been leaked yet. Of course, the premise is that Klyuchkov did not bring out everything after being arrested. Will Klyuchkov confess? Chu Sinan believes that it will never happen. After all, this kid is a smart man, and he should know what the consequences of confession mean to him. "Be frank and be lenient, sit down in prison; resist strictness, go home for the New Year." This rumor is definitely the awakening of the arrested person in the struggle for power struggle. For Klyuchkov, he almost knows Chu Sinan's overall plan. If he confesses, the people involved will be enough to make Bulucher headache. In order not to cause a greater crisis, I believe that Bulucher can definitely do the things that are silenced.

But then again, although the plan has not been exposed, it is impossible for Chu Sinan to follow this plan in the future. Not to mention, the problems that arise in Klyuchkov have disrupted all the planning steps. Moreover, Bulucher's capture of Klyuchkov has also played a role in shaking the mountains and shaking the tigers to a certain extent. Perhaps now, some key figures in Moscow have changed their attitudes. This is certain, Chu Sinan believes that we must not take it lightly in this regard.

Now, Konev is here, and no matter how he is in this matter, Chu Sinan must return to Moscow with him. In this way, he has no time to think about it in detail and plan carefully. Head-on-head, everything must be fought head-on. If he is really helpless in the end, Chu Sinan will probably not care about any affection and shake out all the dirty things. Everyone, let's do it either you die or I live.

"Stepannovic," Chu Sinan turned back from his thoughts, looked at Konev, but suddenly realized that the Minister of Defense was competing with Zhukov with big eyes. These two people have always been disagreeable, and neither of them liked each other.

"What are you doing?" Konev glared at Zhukov at last and said unhappily.

"We have been together for a long time," Chu Sinan held back his smile and said seriously, "You should know my character. If I tell you now, I want to rebel, counter-revolution, and surrender to the Germans, do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it!" Konev said angrily, "I don't look like a good thing when I look at you."

He said, pointing to Zhukov sitting opposite him and said, "If you are mingling with such a person, what else can you dare not do?!"

"What did you say?!" Zhukov was furious and slapped the table.

"I said you..."

"Okay, okay, don't argue, listen to me finish my words." Chu Sinan hurriedly persuaded him. If they were asked to continue arguing, then don't do anything serious.

"Stepannovic, since you think I am such a person, why do you still come to Holtrey? And you don't even take the guards, aren't you afraid that my thing, which is destined to be a good thing, will be bad for you?" Chu Sinan continued to smile.

"I like to come here!" Konev reached out and grabbed the vodka bottle on the table in front of him, took a big mouthful of mouth, and then cursed, "I came back from the Stalingrad front the morning before yesterday, and then encountered this. It was supposed to be Wasseylevsky, but he...he was transferred to command the battle in Karachi. So, this dirty bag was thrown on my head."

Chu Sinan suddenly realized that it seemed that the person Yarki and the others were trying to win over should be Huaseylevsky, but this honest general could not hide anything in his heart, so he turned against Buluhell early in the morning. It was precisely because of this that he was transferred to the front line.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Konev untied the hole in his military uniform and asked angrily.

"Stepannovic," Chu Sinan said after a long time of silence, "You are not in Moscow during this period. A lot of things have happened in the Kremlin. I can't explain it clearly to you at the moment."

"I can't explain it clearly for two or three, and I have time." Konev said, reaching out to get the bottle, but Zhukov took it first.

"I can't tell you yet because there is too much involved." Chu Sinan was stunned, then shook his head and said, "But I promise that when the time is ripe, I will tell you the whole story in detail and in detail. However, I hope that before this, you can do me a favor based on the relationship in the past."

"What's the busy thing?" Konev said in surprise.

"I hope that after returning to Moscow, you can give me a chance to defend myself at the headquarters meeting." Chu Sinan said calmly.
