"The consumption of necessities such as food and drinking water is a bit too fast, Malashenko. If this rate continues, the weekly supplies we have brought will be exhausted in three days at most. Karamov has already sent a convoy.
We got water from the nearest water point. Although the road is a little far, fortunately there are enough cars, so the water supply will not be a problem for the time being."
"But how to solve the food gap? This thing doesn't grow in the ground and can be brought back by sending a car there. This was originally our reserve for the first week of the offensive, but now it's all gone"
At night, most of the leadership staff who have been busy all day have either fallen asleep or are making final preparations before falling asleep.
This peaceful town can provide a refuge for comrades to sleep peacefully, at least for now. The Germans cowering in the city cannot use long-range artillery or air raids to bombard the town and cause trouble for the Red Army. All they need is
Just send enough people on duty at night to prevent the Germans from sneaking up in the middle of the night to cause damage.
But for Malashenko and the entire division leadership team.
After a busy day, it doesn't mean you can just rest. After the first half of the day, there is still the second half of the night. The thorny problems in front of you must be solved as soon as possible without delay, even if it is in the new storage building under the chapel in the center of the town.
There was no hesitation in staying up all night to hold meetings in the cellar.
"I know about the food problem. The relevant message has been sent to the Army Group Headquarters. Let's see what Comrade Commander has to say and we will find a solution then."
Malashenko sat in the main C seat of the venue with his arms folded and stated the solutions he had made. Lavrinenko, who had just finished briefly describing the situation with a report in his hand, blinked. He was probably not clear about what he was doing.
He asked quietly as if it had any effect.
"Are you sure this can be solved? What I mean is that it is combat rations after all. It is not a trivial matter to consume more than 10,000 people for nothing. Now all the troops on the front line are preparing combat supplies. There are so many excess rations allocated to
Us?"
Lavrinenko's worries are not unreasonable. The current situation is that the Red Army units that are organizing the Berlin Battle are arriving outside Berlin one after another. The supplies that need to be raised for these units that are gradually arriving at combat positions can be said to be massive.
Necessities such as food and medicine are only part of it, and the more critical ones are those combat supplies.
These days, the transportation of artillery shells to the front line is calculated based on "how many trains". If some troops with tracked heavy armored combat vehicles come from relatively far away, they will also need to occupy train transportation resources.
To carry out battle maneuvers. Wasting precious motorized hours on the road to tactical maneuvers is really not worth the gain, and will only in vain reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops when they go into battle.
Almost all large items, items in high demand, and items that are needed urgently have to occupy train transportation resources. At this time, there are not many railway transportation resources that can be freed to transport food.
Now we are faced with the situation where the leader suddenly reaches out and asks for an almost doubled supply of food rations. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible, but just think about it, it may be quite difficult for the superiors to do it. Malashenko
Bringing this up at this time is really to create a problem for your immediate boss.
In Chinese officialdom terms, this is called putting a brick under the leader's chin and putting eye drops on the leader's eyes.
It was nothing more than Lavrinenko asking Malashenko some worried questions, which is reasonable according to common sense.
Hearing this, Malashenko seemed a little tired and helpless at first. He lowered his head and leaned on the armchair. He stretched out his right hand and gently pinched the aching forehead. This was the result of excessive energy consumption. Malashenko had already
I have gotten used to it and learned how to adjust and adapt, and I can answer the "kind reminders" from my good brothers without being affected.
"That's the same thing. If there is any other way, I don't want to do it."
"But the reality is that there is no such thing. The only choice left for us is this. Not to mention that we cannot watch more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people starve to death. If we really do this, riots and riots in the town will definitely happen first.
One step is coming."
"People who are crazy about hunger can do anything. Don't use the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled as the reason why people don't get hungry. This is our starting position, where troops are assembled and division-level material reserves are stored.
It is impossible for me to leave a large number of troops in the town to maintain law and order and suppress riots at the most critical moment."
"Or what should we do? Just imitate those Nazis who exposed all the people and then dug a hole to bury them all? It is simply unrealistic. This is the rear of our division in the first stage of the Battle of Berlin, and having a stable rear will win the victory.
First of all, you don’t want to see those crazy hungry people looking for trouble for us at critical moments, or even the saboteurs of the United Nazis working together inside and outside to look for trouble for us, right?”
"."
Lavrinenko listened without saying a word. Malashenko's words were the same as what he had just said, and they had corresponding truths that must be considered.
To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, this matter is the most disgusting problem that you deliberately left behind.
Once a problem is solved, a series of problems follow. It is like pressing down the gourd and raising the gourd, repairing the west wall and the east wall.
"The baggage has been left to us, but those nazis can continue to use these people and use them as combat medicine to force those strong men to fight."
"Na Cui could have said, "The life and death of your relatives depends on whether you obey orders." Do you think those strong men who have their freedom restricted and have guns put to their heads know what is happening to their families now? Na Cui said
Whatever they listen to and believe is their only choice. There is no room or opportunity for resistance."
"The Nazis have enjoyed all the benefits brought by their evil deeds, and the mess has been left to us. This move is disgusting, scum, and not something that humans can do, but if it is purely based on the effect on the enemy and ourselves, we have to admit
It really works.”
Malashenko thought a lot about this matter, almost every time he had free time during the day.
The final result is that the more I think about it, the more fucking disgusting I feel. It means that all the benefits have been taken up by the Nazis, and they can continue to be used efficiently. All the costs and fees have to be paid by myself.
, the Red Army paid the bill, and the Germans seized on the weakness of human nature and morality, which was coercive.
How this matter will be evaluated by the world in the future is a matter for the future.
The key is that you have now poked at the weak spot of the leader, and it has been poked so hard that you feel powerless and unable to fight back. You don't know where to hit him with all your strength. After a furious rage, you are left helpless.
