"Misha," Agelina glanced at Backhouse, who was still standing in front of Sokov, and said with some hesitation: "If I go to inquire about Officer Bayer, how will you communicate with this officer?
?”
"It doesn't matter," Sokov said with a relaxed expression: "One of the soldiers who came out with us today understands German. He can temporarily play the role of translator."
After hearing what Sokov said, Agelina nodded boldly and then walked towards the police chief in the distance.
Backhouse was a little surprised when he saw Agelina leave. He asked Sokov in surprise: "Mr. General, I wonder what that girl is doing over there?" "We are here today with Bayer.
The police officer and his son came here to look for someone." Sokov explained to Backhouse: "I just saw that the police chief who took them to find the chief had come out, but he didn't look at it.
If you find any trace of the Bayers and his son, ask her to go and ask."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Backhouse showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Mr. General, I think it may not be easy for you to find clues from us."
Sokov was startled, and then asked: "Why?" "You also know that this is a US military-controlled area." Backhouse and Sokov had dealt with each other twice, and they were barely acquaintances, so they didn't speak like that.
He was so scrupulous that he said awkwardly: "The residents here are very worried about the Russian military."
The team is not very friendly, and of course the police are included. If you come forward and ask them to help find someone, I am afraid no one will really help you." Regarding Backhouse's statement, Sokov has long been aware of this.
Psychological preparation. After figuring out what was going on, his mood returned to normal and he said lightly: "Mr. Police Officer, you are right. I also found that the residents here in Nuremberg are not very friendly to us. But this time I want to find
The people in question are not our people, but the wife and children of a German captain. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I specially brought a Berlin
A policeman to assist us in our work. If he comes forward to find people, he should encounter much less resistance." After learning that the people Sokov and the others were looking for were actually family members of German officers, the expression on Backhouse's face
Becoming more relaxed: "Mr. General, if the person you are looking for is a family member of an officer, then there won't be much of a problem.
"
Agelina walked up to the police chief and asked politely: "Mr. Chief, I wonder where the father and son who came with us are now?" "They are in the chief's office." The police chief asked Agelina.
Jelina explained: "At first, the director heard that they were following a Russian general. The purpose of coming here was to find two people. At first, they were quite reluctant. But they heard that the person they were looking for was an officer.
The family members of the family immediately called the police officer in charge of household registration and asked him to report to the office. When I came out, the police officer in charge of household registration had already arrived and was probably helping
Your people look for household registration information."
Agelina asked a few more questions, expressed her gratitude to the sergeant, then returned to Sokov and told him in detail what she had learned. Sokov was thinking in his mind, although Nuremberg
It's a big city, but their chief is a colonel at best, and here is a branch, and the chief is a lieutenant colonel. If it was an area controlled by the Soviet army, and he learned that a general had come to his police station, the chief would definitely personally
Come out to greet them, but this is an area controlled by the US military. Let alone yourself, even if Sokolovsky or even Zhukov comes, the other party may not buy it and will still let them sit down.
Cold bench.
After Backhouse and Sokov chatted for a few more words, they left.
As soon as he walked away, Vaserigov asked with some urgency: "Comrade General, what should we do? Are we just going to wait here?"
Sokov smiled faintly and said casually: "Comrade Major, I just said that it's too cold outside. You don't want to go outside to blow the northwest wind, right?" Vasergov's original intention was to ask Sokov
, should we send someone to the director's office to see how long it will take for the Bayers and his son to come out? When Sokov said this, he immediately realized that he was rude.
Sokov didn't even speak. As a security guard responsible for protecting his safety, he had no qualifications to speak, so he kept his mouth shut.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the Bayers and his son finally walked out, along with a childish little policeman.
Bayer came to Sokov and said apologetically: "Comrade General, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."
Since Sokov accompanied Bayer here to inquire about the news, he naturally had no complaints. He asked straight to the point: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"
Bayer nodded and replied: "We just checked the relevant household registration information and found that among several families living on Munich Street, there may be the person we are looking for."
After hearing what Bayer said, Sokov immediately stood up and said, "In that case, let's go there quickly."
"Comrade General," Bayer said hesitantly, "it is at least seven or eight kilometers from here to Munich Street. If you walk, it will take at least two hours."
"Do you have a car?" Sokov asked.
"Yes," the young policeman said cautiously, "There is a police car for patrolling. We can go there in that car."
Under the leadership of the young policeman, everyone came to the parking lot behind the police station. Sokov saw an elongated open-top police car that he saw on the streets of Berlin. He pointed at the car and asked: "Is this the car?"
?”
"Of course, Comrade General." Bayer said cautiously: "It's winter now. It's a bit cold in this car. I hope you don't mind."
"It doesn't matter." Sokov waved his hand to the people behind him and said, "Don't be stunned, everyone get in the car."
The little policeman drove the crowd to a street with relatively complete buildings, parked the car next to a building, turned to Bayer and said: "We're here!" Sokov said to Bayer: "Bye.
Officer, you and your son will follow this policeman up to look for someone, and we will stay in the car waiting for you." Sokov knew clearly that if so many people went upstairs at the same time, there would definitely be a big disturbance.
Jing, it might make the residents think that they are here to arrest people.
When Bayer heard what Sokov said, he immediately understood that the other party did not want the residents here to be frightened, so he nodded, took his son, and followed the little policeman out of the car and entered the building.
After Bayer and others left, Sokov immediately opened the door and got out of the car, intending to stretch his hands and feet. Although he had not been on the road for long, his hands and feet were still cold from the cold when riding in a convertible in the winter.
Seeing Sokov get out of the car, Adelina and Vaseligov also got out of the car, imitating Sokov's example, and moved their hands and feet next to the police car. Just as a few people moved their hands and feet, someone from the side
Several children ran out of the unit door. They came to the police car, looked at these soldiers wearing Soviet uniforms, and began to murmur quietly. After talking for a while, the children turned towards
He walked aside, but he still kept chattering.
Seeing the children talking and looking towards him, Sokov couldn't help but wonder what they said, so he asked Agelina in a low voice: "Agelina, go over and listen to what those children are saying.
?”
Agelina said "hmm", walked a few steps towards where the children were, and listened to what they had to say.
A few minutes later, Agelina returned to Sokov with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Sokov couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Agelina, what are the children talking about? Are they talking bad about us?"
"They didn't say anything bad." Agelina shook her head and said, "They were discussing a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"They are discussing," Agelina said: "If there are one hundred thousand Cossack cavalry from the Napoleonic period, who can win the final victory against a current German armored regiment."
"It goes without saying." After hearing this, Vaserigov said without hesitation: "The Germans only have a few armored regiments. The 100,000 Cossack cavalry in the Tsarist era could crush them even if they were stepped on."
Trampled to death."
But Sokov shook his head and denied Vaselgov's statement: "That's not necessarily true. I think the final result may be exactly the opposite." Seeing Vaselgov's look of disbelief, Sokov continued:
"A German armored regiment is under the jurisdiction of two tank battalions. Each tank battalion is under the jurisdiction of a company directly under the battalion headquarters, four tank companies and a maintenance company. Various
The total number of tanks and armored vehicles is more than 200. Using such equipment to deal with the Cossack cavalry who use sabers and muskets is simply a one-sided cavalry."
"No way, Comrade General." After hearing what Sokov said, Vaserigov still said with luck: "Even if the weapons are backward, the Cossack cavalry has 100,000 people after all, and they have an absolute majority in terms of numbers.
Advantage." "Comrade Major, on the battlefield, you cannot simply look at the comparison of the numbers of the two sides." Sokov said carefully that the issues discussed by children are just like those idiots in later generations who said that 200 Guan Gong can kill ten Tiger tanks.
Stupid, he explained to Vaserigov: "The cavalry charge in the Napoleonic era was quite dense. As long as the German tanks fired, they could cause huge casualties to the attacking side. I think after a few rounds of shelling,
,
The attacking cavalry has been defeated. The cavalry that has lost its structure has no combat effectiveness at all. Facing modern armored forces, they can only become lambs to be slaughtered." After listening to Sokov's analysis, Vassery
Goff was silent. Even though he was carrying a major's epaulettes, he had never been on a battlefield. His knowledge of war was through newspapers, magazines or film and television works, so he heard that one hundred thousand Cossack cavalry were fighting against a German armored regiment.
, he instinctively believed that the numerically superior Cossack cavalry could achieve the final victory. However, after listening to Sokov’s story, he realized that he had thought of the problem too simply.
Already.
The topic could not continue, and everyone became silent.
Fortunately, at this time, the Bayers and his son and the young policeman came out of the building, and Sokov quickly pulled Agelina to greet them.
"Officer Bayer, how is the situation? Have you found anyone?" "Comrade General," Bayer said, shaking his head: "We asked the residents in the building. In April this year, there were indeed some people from Berlin here.
However, after Nuremberg suffered heavy bombing by the Allies, many
Everyone was evacuated to the countryside. Perhaps Captain Hosenfeld’s wife and children were among the evacuated people.”
What Sokov was most worried about finally happened. He asked Bayer with a straight face and an expressionless face: "Officer Bayer, what should we do? Go to the countryside to find them?" "This is impossible.
, Comrade General." But Bayer shook his head and said: "Due to the critical situation at that time, there was no time to compile the evacuation list. Therefore, even if the captain's wife and children were among the evacuees, we could not
We can't figure out where they went." "That's such a pity." After listening to Bayer's words, Sokov understood that finding Captain Hosenfeld's wife and children was simply more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack, and he could only
He smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that we are destined to let Hosenfei
Captain Er is disappointed."
"Yes, Comrade General, but there is nothing we can do about it." Bayer said, "When I return to Berlin, I will explain this matter to Captain Hosenfeld in detail."
The little policeman waited for Bayer to finish speaking and then asked something in a low voice.
After hearing this, Bayer said to Sokov: "Comrade General, this little policeman asked us if we still want to use this car. If not, he will drive back to the police station." Although from here to where he lives,
The hotel is still quite far away, but Sokov doesn’t want to take this car anymore. It’s freezing cold, and the car is unobstructed. If there’s another cold wind, when he gets back to the hotel,
Maybe
He was cold and cold, so he said to Bayer: "Officer Bayer, please let him leave first. We can walk back to the hotel. By the way, we still have to thank him for driving us here."
After Bayer thanked the little policeman, the little policeman raised his hand to salute Sokov and drove away.
"Comrade General," Vaselgov asked, "are we going to go back like this?"
"Yes, Major." Sokov nodded and said, "We don't have anything to do anyway, so we can just treat it as a walk." When the group of people walked back, Agelina asked Sokov worriedly.
: "Misha, when we came to Nuremberg this time, we failed to help Captain Hosenfeld find his wife and children. Will he react after knowing this news?
Particularly disappointed?" Sokov thought to himself, even if he did not appear, after Hosenfeld became a prisoner, he would not have the opportunity to meet his wife and children, and finally died miserably in a Soviet prisoner of war camp.
Even the corpse could not be found. He sighed softly and said: "There is no way, this is the sequelae of the war. It is not just him, there are thousands of people who lost themselves in this damn war.
Relatives. If they can survive, they are one
"Well, what you said makes sense." Agelina nodded slowly: "Although we did not find the captain's wife and children this time, we did not hear any news of their deaths. In other words, they
Maybe still alive. As long as
If they are still alive, I think they will be reunited as a family sooner or later." "Yes, yes, as long as they are alive, there must be hope." Sokov thought to himself, Hosenfeld survived because of him, as long as he
His wife and children are still alive, and they may return to their home in Berlin one day in the future, and then they will be reunited.
