Malashenko could think of those Poles who lived a life worse than death under the brutal rule of the Germans. He could also imagine how indifferent these Poles would be. He was used to seeing this kind of behavior after too many lives.
This situation is truly normal.
But judging from the results, Malashenko did indeed underestimate the extent of the German atrocities in this land, just as Commissar Petrov said.
"If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be executed" sounds scary enough, but the bad things the Germans did here are even worse. It has reached the level of "one person commits a crime, and the whole street will be wiped out."
Malashenko didn't know whether the Germans' brutal treatment had frightened the Polish ghosts and had the deterrent effect the Germans wanted.
But Malashenko was able to confirm another point with the fact that seeing is believing: Those Poles were indeed frightened by the work done by the Germans, so miserable that even a dozen people could only stand in a row and collapse to death.
Counting it as a "small scene", who knows how big the scene would be if the Germans dug a big hole and buried people alive.
"Damn, these scum are so cruel. They really don't treat people as human beings."
Living in the 21st century, it is one thing to look at the Fascist atrocities in history from the perspective of future generations.
As a time traveler, living in the present moment in history, to personally experience and witness all this appalling things is a completely different thing, both in terms of visual perception and inner impact.
.
In this regard, Malashenko could only say one thing after much thought. Most of the means the Poles used to retaliate against the Germans could be summed up in two words: they deserved it, and the Germans deserved it.
After learning about this unexpected situation, Malashenko did not have much time to linger on this matter for too long. How the Germans dealt with the Poles and how the Poles retaliated against the Germans were not the point. Marashenko
Shenke was just watching the excitement from the perspective of a bystander. At most, he could only sigh with "shocking the old horse for a whole year". What he would do next was the focus.
"We have to win over these Poles. After the big stick is over, give me some sweet dates and let these Polish ghosts cause trouble for me. At least I can have two days of leisure during my stay in Warsaw."
Malashenko's order was carried out very efficiently. After the public trial and shooting was carried out near noon, at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the combat staff reported that the aid supplies for distribution to the Poles were ready.
"Speaking of which, do you really plan to give free gifts to those Polish ghosts? These bastards wanted to kill our people last night and beat us up this morning, and now you are giving them food? We are not here to help.
Is this appropriate?”
It's not so much an objection as it is a suspicion. As the deputy division commander, Lavrinenko certainly has the right to discuss matters and be informed. It is reasonable to ask questions to Malashenko, not to mention that there has always been a conflict between the two brothers.
He says what he has to say directly and doesn't hide it.
"Some things must be distributed as they should, Lavry. These things are not given to those Polish ghosts for free. They will also benefit ourselves after they are distributed."
"First, let the Polish ghosts see that our Red Army is not a softie, and we are not that easy to bully. We should not sit on our heads and let them know that we are not here to be free mercenaries to help them restore their country."
"Thunder tactics are only one of them. After all, we are the Guards among the Guards. We are the leaders whose every move is observed under a magnifying glass. Of course, we are not the SS who only know how to kill people in different ways and still enjoy it.
madman."
"I am giving food to these Poles now to let them know first what things they cannot do, and then what things they can do to achieve success and hope, so as to provide them with material guarantees for their desire to survive."
"Do you want to live? It's very simple. Just support the Red Army in any way you can think of. Even if it's cooking a meal for a class of Red Army soldiers, giving up a room in your house, so that the Red Army soldiers stationed in the neighborhood don't have to live.
As for sleeping on the street at night."
"The important thing is not what great things are provided or what big things are paid, but the attitude. What I ultimately test and hope to see is the attitude of the Poles. As long as they can satisfy me in this regard,
Then why can't I give them some rewards and rewards? We all know that even if you train a dog, you need some rewards to train it well, right?"
"Taking a step back, I don't want the area I'm responsible for to have constant gunfire and riots every day. The Poles are either on the way to sneak attacks on the Red Army or thinking about how to sneak attack on the Red Army. I have to beware of Polish sneak attacks every day. Are you tired? I
I don’t have that much energy to let my elite soldiers do such trivial things.”
"Now can you understand why I did this? Brother, I think this shouldn't be difficult for you."
"..."
One thing to say is that in this era of underdeveloped information, even deputy division-level cadres like Lavrinenko have never experienced such topics as "how senior commanders coordinate various stability maintenance tasks in liberated areas"
Training, how can the Red Army these days have such a subject for people to learn? You can't even learn to fight. Who the hell cares about this?
Therefore, it is understandable that Lavrinenko expressed his incomprehension and did not think about it.
But Malashenko believes that after he explains the truth clearly, it should not be difficult for Lavrinenko to understand the secret. If he has reached the division level commander, if he doesn't even understand this truth, then stop messing around as soon as possible.
Go back home and go to the Party School of the Rear Area Military Academy to rebuild and receive re-education.
This result was not what Malashenko expected. Lavrinenko indeed looked thoughtful and suddenly enlightened, but the details were indeed mixed with a little uncertainty.
"...Is it okay to do this? Can the Polish ghost understand our intention of doing this? I feel that the IQ of these bastards is really not very high. There is really a problem. They dare to fight with bare hands and guns in their hands.
The Red Army can do it, their heads are filled with shit."
After listening to what Lavrinenko said, Malashenko could only shake his head and smile helplessly, and then spoke the corresponding answer.
"The abnormal brains of a few people are one thing, and the survival instinct of the majority is another thing. Always remember this, my brother. Then let us witness together, these Poles are getting what they dream of
After you put something in, what will you do next?”
