Chapter 2246 Mr. Mayor

Chapter 2251 Mr. Mayor

"Keep an eye on this woman. Trust is appropriate and needs time to test. I don't need to say anything more. I believe you know what to do."

Malashenko, who quietly pulled Alsim to his side, said such a simple sentence. His voice was just loud enough for only the two of them to hear. Alsim, who was not stupid, nodded quickly after hearing it.

"Don't worry, comrade commander, I know what to do."

"Well, I believe you, as always."

After giving instructions, Malalashenko looked down at the documents in his hand, handed them back to Alsim, and then spoke again, but this time his tone was obviously back to normal.

"Give these to the political commissar. He should be here soon with people. The political commissar knows how to deal with it. Just say that I asked you to hand it over."

"Leave this German mayor to me, and two more people. I will ask a few simple questions before taking them away. Let the political commissar deal with it. You should go and do what you should do first."

"Yes."

Leaving the two soldiers in charge of guarding and the German mayor behind, Alsim followed Malashenko's order to do what he should do, and left with the other soldiers who came with him and the German woman who had not spoken from beginning to end but just stood silently behind Alsim.

It was also after witnessing this scene that Malashenko remembered something and couldn't help thinking about it.

"Uh, I remember Alsim is still a bachelor? He is over 30 years old, and it's time to consider a marriage for him."

When a leader considers the lifelong affairs of his subordinates, it is called care from the leader, such as Malashenko's current treatment of Alsim.

When there is a chance in the future, I have to consider arranging a marriage for Artim. It is not good to be single all the time. How can a heroic commander of the combat engineer company be without a beautiful woman and children? This is not good, and it does not conform to the "hero mother" population recovery plan that the Soviet Union will foreseeably launch after the war.

In short, Malashenko took note of the fact that Artim was still single, but he did not deal with it immediately. The "freshly captured" German mayor next to him was obviously more important. Malashenko had a few questions that needed to be clarified quickly, and he blurted out the words that had been organized long ago. (っ◔◡◔)っ

"I am the highest commander of the Red Army stationed in the town. You can call me Malashenko. Now I have a few questions to clarify. Don't worry about anything unnecessary. Nothing too bad will happen. As long as you cooperate honestly, everything will be fine. Can you do it?"

Arsim added a few more words before leaving and told Malashenko that the German mayor was very timid and cherished his life. When he was held down in his office, he had already searched all the key files and documents locked in the cabinets and hidden in the corners under his instructions. This was without scaring him much, but just slapping them.

Malashenko's "good advice" was relatively civilized. In fact, as long as it was possible, Comrade Ma, who claimed to be a "civilized person", did not like to fight and kill, and used violence casually, especially against "unarmed personnel", so he was still polite to the mayor who should be easier to deal with.

However, even though Malashenko behaved kindly, the German mayor did not think so.

The Russian official in front of him was tall and big, standing here like a big iron tower with a strong back and strong waist. The big body of more than 1.9 meters was rare even among the Germans, whose average male height was already very good. Coupled with the identity of "enemy officer", it can only be said that the momentum was very scary.

In addition, there were so many Russian soldiers armed with live ammunition and fully armed around, and a large group of Russian steel behemoths were parked in the central square of the town around him. In such an environment, anyone would be scared, but to varying degrees.

For the German mayor, who was already timid, he was almost scared to death. He quickly expressed his attitude to the Russian official in front of him and said that he would cooperate well.

"Mr. Commander, don't worry. If you have any questions, just ask. As long as I know, I will tell you in full and never lie! I will help you check what I don't know. I have many subordinates and friends who can help. I am familiar with the situation in this town. Don't worry, I will cooperate well."

"Hey, the old guy is quite sensible. This is easy to handle!"

Malachenko smiled with joy in his heart, and then he started to get to the point.

"Well, the first question is, tell me about the residents in the town. I want to know how many households and how many people there are."

Malachenko didn't ask many questions, and the whole questioning time was not long. After basically figuring out some necessary information he wanted to know, he asked someone to take the German mayor away.

Malachenko, who couldn't rest, finished this and quickly found Political Commissar Petrov and came to the temporary site of the division headquarters.

It was already late, and there were only more than ten minutes left before it was completely dark. The snowflakes fluttering in the sky did not decrease but increased.

Although it can't be compared with the winter blizzard in the motherland, it is also visibly turning into a considerable snowfall. Malashenko wants to quickly finalize the overnight stay before people are frozen to death. It depends on how the political commissar solves the problem.

"It has been almost handled. The German mayor you sent over is quite cooperative. What's more important is that the entire administrative system of the town is still very complete. With just a little help from us, the mayor's order can be implemented unimpeded and quickly executed. The situation is better than I expected."

"A considerable number of civilians in the town fled after hearing that the Red Army was coming. The mayor said that those who left went north, towards Königsberg. That is the core area of ​​East Prussia. It is said that the defense is very strong and heavily guarded. Many people think it is the safest and farthest from the front line, but this just leaves those empty houses for us."

"With empty houses and willing to cooperate with the town residents, there is no big problem staying overnight tonight. Except for a small number of guard patrol troops who have to go out, the remaining officers and soldiers can basically stay in the house overnight. Don't worry."
