Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 2238: Debate (Part 1)

Malashenko had no intention of giving these Germans a good look. To be precise, he had no intention of doing so in the first place.

Malashenko, who has had a lot of dealings with Germans, is very aware of the bad habits of these naughty dogs. For example, if you have been beaten to the point where your crotch is stretched, you will be in a mess. If you continue to fight, let alone win, you will have to pay for your pants, and you will lose everything.

It stands to reason that at this time you should surrender unconditionally. Talking about other things is all false, unrealistic and whimsical.

But what about the Germans?

I always like to get more benefits for myself at this most unrealistic time. A person dressed up like a dog and looking quite energetic will come to negotiate and sit down with you before doing anything else. It would look so noble to show off this aura and act cool first, and then say a few awesome words to lift yourself up to the eighty-two scale.

One thing to say is that if people who don’t know see this, they will probably think that the Germans won some kind of victory. The battlefield situation is excellent and I have the advantage. I sent a representative to the Soviet army to persuade them to surrender.

Malashenko despises and even hates this stinky habit of "pretending to be cool even if he has no ability". Seeing a German guy show off like this is like seeing stinky shit. First of all, if you can't even catch your eye, how can you give the German guy a good look?

I have to cure your problem today!

Malashenko, who had such a secret plan in mind, had already made up his mind to see what kind of bad work these German guys could do today.

""

As the German negotiator, Major General William Gramm did anticipate that the Russians might make things difficult or give them power in some form. After all, Malashenko is well-known in the German camp for being "brutal and difficult to deal with." If you think about it, you will know that this kind of person may not be a good person even if he gets on the negotiating table.

However, this Malashenko directly set up an open-air negotiation venue. In this so simple and almost unprecedented negotiation venue, people were blown by the cold wind, and he forcibly interrupted people's speeches in this way. It was completely polite. He doesn't follow his rules, he just stops playing if he doesn't play by his rules, and he acts like he wants to flip the table with you.

Major General Graham, who claims to have rich experience in life and knows a lot about the Russians, did not expect this from the beginning to the end.

"This is a guy who is unreasonable and doesn't play by the rules. To be precise, it should be the rules he thinks are the rules. He himself is the rule maker."

After making up his mind to make such a "preliminary summary" of Malashenko, Major General Gram reminded himself to treat this negotiation more carefully. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly made sure that he had organized the language. Quickly spoke again.

"Sorry, General, I made a slip of the tongue."

"Please allow me to recount it again. The purpose of my trip is to lead a negotiation team to discuss with you matters related to the surrender of our unit. General, do you agree?"

This time, not only the content of the speech changed, but even the tone of the speech became obviously more humble. It sounded more like a subordinate asking about the work of his superior, and he was obviously at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the German guy was quite sensible and didn't want to talk about negotiation table etiquette, Malashenko lit a cigarette for himself and handed the cigarette case to Kulbalov next to him, smiling and signaling his The right-hand man and the capable general also got a stick that was exclusive to general officers, and took the initiative to light a fire for Kulbalov.

This provoked the latter to quickly cover the flames with both hands for fear of being blown out by the wind. It would be very bad to refute the leader's face in this situation and let the Germans see the joke.

After doing all this, the Germans across the negotiating table were hung like bacon on the rafters with the cold wind blowing. After drying for a long time, Malashenko turned around again with a cigarette in his mouth. Then he spoke.

"Okay, it's no big problem. Just keep talking, I'm listening."

""

I thought that Malashenko would say something or make some demands, but I didn't expect that Malashenko would not take the initiative at all and left it entirely to his own side.

Although I felt a little surprised, I was not completely clueless or unable to cope with it.

Major General Graeme, who had a flexible mind and fast thinking, had an idea in his eyes, and he quickly followed Malashenko's wishes and spoke again.

"General, we all understand that there is no point in continuing to fight. We have reached a consensus based on the principle of reducing unnecessary casualties, so we can sit here and negotiate."

"What I want to say is that our 41st Armored Corps hopes that all prisoners of war will be treated with dignity and assurance, and that the prisoner-of-war related system will be effectively implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Convention."

"Of course, we know that you have not signed such a treaty, but we still hope that the parts of this treaty that are consistent with common sense and have reason to be implemented will become our consensus and be observed. To this end, I have brought an agreement "If you think what I just said is okay and agree with it, please sign this agreement on your behalf to make it effective immediately."

"As one of the signatories of the agreement, our 41st Armored Corps will perform what we are supposed to perform. After my return report and confirmation, we will immediately lay down our weapons and surrender to you in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Please be serious "Considering this agreement and our sincere proposal, which involves the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers from both armies, General, I am sure you will make a choice that respects life more."

""

It has to be said that it is not clear whether Major General Graham has other abilities, but at least he has the ability to speak official language and show himself that he is great.

What does it mean to be "confident that you will make a choice that respects life more"?

how? Brother, if I don't sign this piece of shit like this, are you disrespecting the tens of thousands of lives on this battlefield? Is the label of "not cherishing the lives of our own soldiers and soldiers" unknowingly put on it?

If you were lucky enough to go to West Germany after the war, would you still be able to thank the memoirs for twisting and twisting this experience, making a big deal about it, and describing your brother as someone who disregarded human life and stepped on the corpses of Red Army soldiers? Isn’t the one who wants to take credit so good?

Whether this method of softening and forcing people is of any use to others is another matter. Anyway, it has no effect at all on Malashenko. Malashenko even wants to laugh: Your 250-year-old speaking skills are not in the 21st century. That's a bad street, and any MLM leader's words are better than yours.

Of course, what I was thinking in my heart was that Malashenko, who remained calm on the surface, was holding the so-called agreement that Major General Graeme took out of his briefcase in front of him and looking at it carefully. The German The trick that seems to be willing to surrender without making any excessive demands is probably hidden in this agreement.
