Chapter 1545 People who know the truth

There is a very general truth that people who can achieve great things must have at least one person who is willing to follow him and help him wholeheartedly. It is best to have someone who can trust him with his life. In this case, the probability of success is higher.

For example, Anton, who is very popular in the bandit circle and is almost becoming the boss of the area, is such a popular person.

And the person who is willing to give his life to him and assist him in achieving the "dominance" he has today is the big fat man who looks like a pork dealer: Baranikov.

Baranikov, who is he?

Before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, Baranikov was Anton's colleague and subordinate, working in a military factory.

At that time, Anton was the team leader of a production line, and Baranikov was the small team leader of the worker class. One was the big boss, the other was the small boss, one was in charge, and the other was in charge.

This just right management relationship and position created good conditions. Anton and Baranikov, the two traitors to the motherland, worked together and were in fact the same gang, reselling military supplies, stealing and selling gunpowder and steel, etc.

It was a joy to do.

Later, when the scandal broke out, Baranikov, a lackey who followed Anton wholeheartedly, took everything on his own. As a result, he went in, and Anton remained free and continued to be the team leader of his arsenal.

If it hadn't been for someone reporting it later, the matter would probably have ended like this. Anton might not have been caught, and the only person who went to jail was Baranikov.

But the reality is that there is no what-if. Anton and Baranikov, the two capitalist lackeys who teamed up to destroy the construction of the motherland, eventually none of them could escape, and they were all caught in prison and became inmates.

Later, the Germans came over, and their violent offensive quickly approached the hinterland of Ukraine from the national border. Seeing that the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven came, Anton was very loyal, and he did not forget to pull himself out before escaping.

With the help of his younger brother Baranikov, the two finally overturned the guard from the prison, took the gun, and escaped.

After that, it was Anton who led Baranikov's team to engage in banditry.

Earlier, Anton made a fortune with him and escaped from the poor life. Later, he was fished out of prison by Anton and successfully escaped from prison. To say that Barannikov is not grateful to him, Brother Anton, is a lie.

I massaged and washed Anton's feet. I wish I could live in retirement for the rest of my life. I have always been loyal to Anton and told him the truth.

And Anton was also happy to see that he had such a loyal vicious dog at his disposal, so he not only gave Baranikov a lot of trust, but also placed him in the position of second-in-command. With his smart mind,

The colleague of Shouhou, who is flexible in his work, but actually has selfish intentions, can restrain Shouhou from acting randomly on weekdays. This is Anton's way of checking and balancing as a superior.

Now, Baranikov, who was summoned by Anton, was trotting over, fanning his heavy body. He also just heard that Anton had suffered a big defeat on this trip and took half of him out.

As a result, several people came back, and not only that, they even got Slender Monkey in there.

This guy is usually a think tank or a dog-headed military advisor. He is indispensable every time he advises Anton. Baranikov himself admits that his IQ is indeed not as high as this guy's, and his brain is not as good as others.

Now, such a smart guy was killed by the enemy, and Baranikov felt a little scared.

He was afraid that this time his group would encounter some very terrible and insurmountable trouble. Now even the thin monkey was dead, and no one would be able to make suggestions or act as a strategist. This might really end up overturning in the gutter.

Barannikov, who had been thinking wildly all the way here, soon came to Anton as scheduled. At this moment, Anton was sitting upright behind his desk, tapping the table with his fingers and looking sad.

His mood and mental state were quite bad at the moment.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Um?"

Anton, who was thinking about something with his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes after hearing the sound, and at a glance he saw Baranikov standing in front of him panting, and he pointed casually without bothering to say any nonsense.

The chair next to him spoke softly.

"Sit down. We don't have much time. We need a few minutes to finish talking and then leave this place."

"..."

Baranikov wanted to ask something, such as why he was leaving so anxiously.

But when I thought that Anton must have his reasons for doing this, he had been scolded a lot in the past for not being smart in what he said, so he simply had a good memory and stopped asking any more questions, and went straight to the chair next to Anton.

He sat down.

"Gusonov is dead. I guess you already know about this, right?"

Gusonov, this is the real name of the thin monkey, just because one is very thin and the other is very fat between him and Baranikov, who is also the second in command. So most of the time the bandits still like him in private

Gusonov is called Slender Monkey, but few people mention his real name.

"Well, I heard about it as soon as you came back. This matter has spread now. Did you tell everyone?"

Barannikov was a little confused. He couldn't figure out why Anton did this.

"Yes, I took the initiative and said it deliberately. I told everyone that Gusonov died in order to block the Bolshevik onslaught, cover the retreat of everyone in the camp, and buy time before the Bolshevik mopping up army arrived.

, he sacrificed his life to allow everyone to evacuate smoothly. This is a very heroic move! I want to use his death to finally gather a wave of people's hearts."

"But, only you are qualified to know the truth. I will only tell you, my brother."

Before he finished speaking, Anton changed the subject and told Baranikov the truth.

"This bastard Gusonov started snooping on my position more than a year ago. He wants to replace me and make himself the boss. I have been secretly fighting against him for more than a year, and you have also helped me a lot."

"I have been looking for a suitable opportunity to get rid of him, but I can't kill him directly, not even by assassination."

"Gusonov has his own die-hard subordinates surrounding him, and there are many people in our team who support him and are won over by him. The probability of success in assassinating him is very low, and if it fails, it will create opportunities for him to rebel.

The reason is that he is too smart and knows how to take advantage of opportunities. Even if we kill him obviously, this guy will directly rebel, and our team will fall apart in an instant."

"Although the loss was not small, this time I managed to get rid of him with the help of the Bolsheviks, along with his group of loyal subordinates. Our team is now completely clean. This is the real good news, my brother.
