"Words are a kind of ammunition, and the media is a weapon. Cognition is enough to change the long-term strategic situation of the enemy and ourselves, and is even more powerful than most weapons. The key lies in how you use it."
"If we don't use this invisible and intangible weapon, someone with ulterior motives or even someone who is not good for us will use it. So we must seize this weapon before the enemy and hold it tightly in our own hands. , History will be written by the victors, Kogin, we can write it however we want, there is no way the news of the destroyed Nazis will leak out."
"Besides, what we wrote is also true, isn't it?"
"But don't forget, in the final analysis, it's still these cannibalistic scum who prevent their people from leaving the city and fleeing. We just changed part of the truth to an easy-to-understand and acceptable method. It's just a form of expression. Looking back to the source, they are essentially the same. The cauldron that should be the cauldron is the cauldron of the cauldron. We will not tamper with the truth. But we must ensure that the truth is more acceptable and more beneficial to us, especially Do you understand what I say to the Germans themselves after the war?"
"."
Kogin is not a fool. With his skills and vision in this position, how could he not understand what Malashenko meant.
"You mean we are creating the so-called truth?"
After hearing this, Malashenko shook his cigarette, and there was no emotional change in his tone. He just continued to speak calmly.
"Truth. Truth, who defines truth? What is truth?"
"Too many people in this world have different views on the truth. People will only believe the truth they want to believe. This has been the case since ancient times."
"Our truth will help us screen out the real enemies, and more importantly, it will greatly reduce the hatred and enemies that will breed in this land in the future. This is the most important thing. Of course, it is not that simple to achieve this result. , this also requires a lot of other operations, but that is a story for later, what we are discussing now is just the first step."
After exhaling the last puff of smoke, Malashenko flicked the cigarette butt out of the car. The few German refugees who were just picking up garbage and making a living in the village destroyed by the war have now disappeared, or rather It was because the convoy was too far away and could no longer be seen. Only Malashenko's eyes still reflected the appearance of those people.
"As I just said, if we don't do some things, some things that we can't see or touch, and seem to be insignificant, then in the end they will be exploited by the enemy and become our weaknesses, and the enemy will "help" us to do it. .”
"We must completely eradicate the breeding of hatred and the spread of hostility, so that the enemy can be wiped off the list once and for all. Destroying the body is only the first step, and completely changing a collective consciousness and cognition is the key."
I don’t know how much he understood Malashenko’s words. Anyway, at least from the expression, Koginna still looked like “I understand very well”, but he had no intention of continuing to talk to Malashenko. this matter.
If we go further, Malashenko will probably get to the philosophical level, which is what really makes people sleepy after listening to it.
"We're almost there. I'll pack up and leave at noon today. Where are you going next? Has Comrade Marshal assigned you a task?"
"I?"
Malashenko laughed when he heard this.
"Where else can I go? Of course I have to go outside Berlin. Otherwise, can the leader's division be able to attack German soldiers fully automatically?"
"That's true."
Ke Jin, who was still pressed for time, just as he said, after getting off the bus at the destination, he immediately greeted the group of people he had brought with him, packed up his things, packed what needed to be packed, and prepared to embark on the return journey.
.
By the time Malashenko returned to the division headquarters, many things had actually begun to go according to plan in his absence. For example, the first batch of troops of the leadership division had already set off and rushed to Berlin as planned.
Make final preparations for the battle outside.
The remaining troops of the Leader's Division who stayed near the Zero Highlands are also stepping up their preparations. Most of them have not finished repairing their vehicles or have just received new equipment and need to familiarize themselves with the troops under adjustment. Malashenko has just entered the division headquarters.
I heard the political commissar giving orders.
"First, let the combat troops rush over to set up their starting positions and expand their formations. The logistics support troops have a lot of scattered and trivial things. It will take some time, but they will be able to arrive soon and provide support."
"Inform the vanguard troops on the frontline to stay vigilant. After all, the city of Berlin is still the base of the Germans. Be careful not to be careless when the enemy sneaks around, and be especially careful about possible sneak attacks by small groups of enemies."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After seeing off the communications staff officer, Malashenko soon came within sight of Comrade Political Commissar.
Before he could change his clothes, Malashenko, who was dressed in the rare uniform of a tank corps major general, walked over to Comrade Political Commissar, spinning his big-brimmed hat in his hand.
"Where's Lavrinenko? Shouldn't he be responsible for this kind of troop commanding matter in my absence? Is this guy lazy and running away again?"
Of course, I don't mean to blame Comrade Political Commissar for being "too lenient". What Malashenko really wants to say is why Lavrinenko doesn't show up when it's time to let Lavrinenko share the burden. Comrade Political Commissar is in such a state that he most needs help from others to share the burden.
Especially on the eve of the Battle of Berlin, when people are so busy that they spin like a top after being whipped.
"Lavery went down below to inspect the troops. He left not long after you left. Many of the troops' vehicle maintenance and new equipment installations need to be followed up. He said that I was not in good health and was not suitable for running around. He just let me go.
I stayed, and he took some people down alone, and he hasn't come back yet."
"Comrade Chief of Staff is also busy sorting out reports on troop mobilization and deployment plans outside the city. It just so happens that you are out on business, so won't I be the only one left to do these things in this division headquarters? The old man must be allowed to do so.
Play a role, right?"
"."
Commanding troops is indeed a very tiring task, and Malashenko is also helpless.
Even though Malashenko now has so many good brothers and comrades gathered around him, all of whom are ranked high in work ability, he always feels that there is not enough manpower during the busiest time on the eve of the battle, and of course it is the same this time.
"Okay, won't I come back now? Let me do these things. Old comrades have worked hard and achieved great results, so let's take a rest first."
"Oh, by the way, how is the troop transfer situation? Our battle preparation time has been shortened again, and we may have to launch an attack in advance."
