Steel Soviet Union

In fact, it is not just the "Red Stalingrad". Zhukov, who had a good chat with Malashenko, also talked about some other weapons, some very powerful super weapons that can be used soon. The time to be ready and put into the battlefield comes even earlier than the 800mm super cannon.

"You and your troops need to rest now, Malashenko."

"The battle on the front line is currently proceeding in an orderly manner, but the real critical moment will still take some time to come. Before then, you and your troops will use this time to rest and prepare well. If the situation requires it, What I ask of you is to always respond to the call, lead the troops into the battlefield, give those arrogant and crazy fascists a wake-up call, and open the final passage to Berlin for the Red Army.”

Zhukov took a sip from his tea cup and blurted out the next words without hesitation.

"Can it be done?"

Having said this, Malashenko certainly has no other answer to say to Zhukov. There is and can only be one final answer.

"Of course, this is my mission, Comrade Marshal. I will lead the leading division to become the vanguard of the Red Army and win victory. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Very good, my trust in you is still the same as the past, as always, and I also believe that this time this time will not disappoint the motherland. ̮̦͖̥͈̳̭̭̋̏͝Ŝ̸̢̜̳̱͈̹͓̀̆̔͋͛͜͠ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̃̌"

Malashenko's answer was firm and forceful, while Zhukov's response was one of conviction.

Perhaps the best trust between generals is this. With Zhukov, Malashenko can still regain the feeling he had when he was under the city of Moscow, that kind of mutual trust without hesitation.

Of course, Malashenko also believes that this near-perfect mutual trust will definitely bring this war to a successful conclusion.

"But there is one more thing, Malashenko, that needs to be done by you personally."

Malashenko, who had finished the conversation at this point, was even ready to get up and leave. He did not expect that Zhukov would have any further words. Out of curiosity, he did not ask any more questions, but chose to continue. Sit there quietly and listen.

"Someone came specifically from the United States to find you and asked to interview you by name. He is even more interested in you than me. Are you interested?"

"Come from the United States? Want to interview me? Or name me???"

Zhukov didn't say anything, but as soon as he said these words, Comrade Ma was shocked and stunned for a moment.

"Comrade Marshal, are you sure there is nothing wrong with this? Why do reporters from the United States specifically want to interview me by name? Is there any reason for this?"

To talk about Malashenko's current state, the "head full of question marks" emoji may be the most vivid and accurate description. Malashenko really can't figure out where this American reporter suddenly appeared to come for an interview. Myself, brother, what are the ordinary Soviet major generals passing by worth interviewing? Wouldn't it be better if you had this opportunity to interview a Red Army general or marshal?

Unexpectedly, Zhukov's next answer was completely different from what Malashenko thought.

"This question is a long story. I suddenly realized it after listening to those American reporters describing their experiences to me. It's quite interesting. Let me briefly talk to you."

Seeing that Zhukov seemed to be ready to give a long speech, the patient Malashenko decided not to ask questions, but to hold back his strong curiosity and wait to hear what Comrade Zhu would reveal next.

"These American reporters had no intention of interviewing you at first. They originally went to Europe to interview front-line American soldiers and commanders, as well as the captured German prisoners of war for news reports, but here's the surprise. happened in the process.”

"In the prisoner of war camp, some German captured soldiers told these American reporters that there was a very terrible murderer, the Iron Butcher, on the Eastern Front battlefield. Not five or six million Germans died at his hands. There were at least two to three hundred thousand, and several times that number of Germans were sent to prisoner-of-war camps by him to suffer.”

"Those German army recruits will wet their pants when they hear this person's name or nickname. The unscrupulous veterans will always use this to scare the new recruits, saying, "If you don't listen to me, the steel butcher will stuff you into minced meat." "In the machine" and the like, you know who this is talking about, right?"

""

Of course there are some things that Comrade Zhu doesn't need to say more. Malashenko has heard of these sensational "legends" a long time ago. The fabricators are none other than the Germans themselves. All kinds of bloody legends are getting more and more outrageous as they spread. Even the protagonist himself was ashamed after hearing this. You, Santoku, are really good at scaring yourself.

Malashenko still doesn't understand who made up these rumors that are so outrageous that he even thinks they are nonsense, and he still doesn't understand the German guy's motive for doing this.

If it's just to scare the new recruits, isn't that a bit too bullshit? Or are some Germans who suffered a terrible fall in their own hands fabricating such appalling claims to save face for themselves? Looking for an excuse?

There is no way to know the answer, at least it is quite difficult to figure out this issue now, but this does not prevent Malashenko from speaking quietly.

"I can understand, Comrade Marshal. But is this why these American reporters want to interview me? Because they believed the lies of these German prisoners of war?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Malashenko's answer was only Zhukov's slow nod and speaking again.

"You may not know that the batch of students you led last time were British and American school officers. They accepted many media interviews after returning to Europe. These British and Americans always like to be in the limelight in newspapers and radio stations. They use their experience with you as a way to show off and brag, saying that what you say is amazing and implying that they have learned something extraordinary from you.”

"I don't know if they discussed it in advance, but almost everyone interviewed basically agreed."

"In short, in the eyes of those Western media reporters, you are now a celebrity that everyone is touting. Not only your enemies say you are very powerful, but even the British and American school officials also say you are very powerful and what your record is. No matter how powerful and superb my self-invented tactics are, just what I learned from you is enough to play a big role in the construction of the army. "

""

Malashenko's current facial expression and state were basically completely speechless. If he had to say anything, he would just have to write on his face, "Can you fucking play like this!?"
