Burning Moscow

Chapter 42: Trip to the United States (13)

Although I understood Roosevelt's words, I still stood still because I was nervous. It wasn't until Eleanor fixed the wheelchair opposite me, walked over and pulled my sleeves, and signaled me to sit down, and then I sat back in my position.

After James and I were seated, Eleanor also moved a chair and sat down next to Roosevelt’s wheelchair. Seeing that everyone was seated, Roosevelt looked at me with a smile on his face, and said slowly, "Oshanina, from what you said, I think your approach on this matter, although a bit extreme, But it is excusable."

Hearing Roosevelt’s evaluation of me, I just showed a smile on my face. Before I could speak, I heard him continue to say: "However, according to the information I received, I learned that your subordinates are recovering Kiev. Later, he also slaughtered all the guards in the nearby Hirez concentration camp. No matter it was an officer or an ordinary soldier, there was no one to live." When he said this, he reduced his smile on his face and his tone became serious." I think that even if these German guards abused prisoners, they were still ordered to act. After all, the Germans are the conquerors of the land and can determine the fate of this land."

As soon as Roosevelt finished speaking, I abruptly stood up from my seat and said to this respectable American president with a serious expression: "Mr. President, do you know what these fascist bandits did? Heila The concentration camp was built in June 1942. In less than a year, more than 20,000 prisoners and Jews died in the camp. Moreover, shortly after the German occupation of Kiev, tens of thousands of Jews in the city were destroyed. They were all driven to the nearby Babi Ya Valley for an organized and premeditated massacre."

My words twitched the muscles on Roosevelt’s face. For a long time, he asked with suspicion: "Our intelligence personnel have also collected similar information, but even if the Germans are cruel, they will face tens of thousands of unarmed people. Civilians, wouldn’t they do such a cruel thing, would they?"

"Mr. President." For Roosevelt's skeptical attitude, strong dissatisfaction with him surged in my heart. So I said unceremoniously: "This is not something we fabricated, but a fact that my subordinates learned based on the captured German documents. After the terrible massacre in the Babi Ya Valley, it is said that a German Wehrmacht was transferred. Professional photographer. I have been to the Babi Ya Valley and took a lot of photos. If we have a chance to capture these photos, we can publish the atrocities committed by the Germans to the world."

After listening to James' translation, Eleanor trembled with anger. She emotionally asked Roosevelt: "Although I have known Oshanina for a short time, I believe that what she said is the truth. Can you send someone to thoroughly investigate the truth about this matter?"

After listening to his wife, Roosevelt did not speak, but turned to look at the bodyguard standing behind him. The bodyguard nodded, turned and walked to the door where he had just entered, opened the door, and leaned out his head and said in a low voice. But when he retracted his head and opened the door of the room, I saw Lord, the secretary of state who had guided me, standing at the door.

See the appearance of this person. Roosevelt first raised his hand at me and pressed it down, motioning me to sit down, then called Harold in front of him, and said briefly what had just happened, and then instructed him: "Harold, you Can you send someone to investigate the truth of this matter as soon as possible?"

I thought that after Harold heard Roosevelt's order, he would immediately agree to do so without hesitation. Unexpectedly, he stood still, with an embarrassed expression on his face. Seeing him like this, Roosevelt couldn't help asking strangely: "Mr. Harold, why don't you carry out my orders?"

"Mr. President. Please forgive me." Harold said with a flustered expression: "I think it may be difficult for us to complete the mission you gave us."

"Why?" Roosevelt asked dissatisfiedly.

"According to the information just received, a part of the German army has successfully penetrated into Kiev after a fierce battle." Harold took a look at me and carefully reported to Roosevelt: "Because of the Soviet army in Kiev. Early. They were surrounded by the German army. Their ammunition and various materials were severely insufficient. Although they had fought stubbornly in the face of the enemy's fierce attack, they had to abandon most of their defensive positions because of lack of ammunition. "

"What, the German troops have invaded Kiev?" I heard Harold say. Regardless of whether he was still pretending to not understand English, he stood up from his seat and asked nervously, "Mr. Harold, are you all true?"

Although I behaved a little gaffe, fortunately, when I asked Harold, I was still in Russian, so that after he heard what I said, he waited blankly for James to translate before he understood what was going on.

He nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, General Oshanina, according to the latest news I received, Kiev has indeed been breached by the Germans, but the Soviets in the city are still resisting stubbornly."

As soon as he finished speaking, I then asked again: "Do you know how the two generals Rebarko and Romanov are doing?"

This time, he shook his head and replied: "I'm sorry, General Oshanina, my information is not as detailed as you imagined, so we don't know how the two generals you care about."

Seeing my flustered expression, Eleanor got up from his seat, walked to my side, grabbed my hand, and comforted me: "Lida, don’t worry. Didn’t you listen to Harold’s words about the city? Are the defenders in here still fighting? If the resistance continues, it means that the Soviet command system has not completely fallen into the wedding, which means that they are still very safe."

Eleanor's words made me feel more at ease. In real history, Romanov was killed in 1943, but Rybalko lived peacefully until decades later. Now that I have brought these two unrelated people together, maybe their fate will also change, and they can successfully escape from the German encirclement.

Maybe Eleanor wanted to ease my nervousness and deliberately asked for a message and said to me: "Lida, I don't know how much you know about the inhumane crimes of the German fascists. You might as well say them while Mr. President is here today. "

Eleanor's words pulled me back to reality from my contemplation. I thought to myself, since I have already talked to Roosevelt about the Jews, I might as well talk to him about the Nazi concentration camp. Thinking of this, I introduced him to the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp: "Mr. President, do you know Auschwitz?"

"Auschwitz concentration camp?!" Roosevelt heard the term. Turning his head to look at Harold behind him, and then at James next to me, he seemed to be serious and want to ask casually, "Have you heard of this place?"

After hearing Roosevelt's words, Harold shook his head directly. Means that I have never heard of it. But James frowned and thought for a while, and then thoughtfully asked me: "Oshanina, is this Auschwitz concentration camp you mentioned, is it the place where the Germans held Soviet prisoners of war?" Everyone knows the matter better, what he will say to me. Translate to several other people.

After I waited for James to translate for everyone, I said solemnly: "Mr. James, you are right and wrong." Seeing his puzzled look, I went on to explain, "I said You are right because there are indeed quite a few Soviet prisoners of war held here; that you are not right. In addition to Soviet prisoners of war, there are tens of thousands of Jews in this concentration camp."

After listening to James' translation, Roosevelt said solemnly: "General Oshanina. Listen to your tone, there must be many unknown secrets here. Can you tell us in detail?"

"Yes, Mr. President." After I politely agreed, I began to formally tell the basic information about Auschwitz: "Auschwitz is more than 300 kilometers away from Warsaw, the capital of Poland. It is Auschwitz in southern Poland. The general term for more than 40 concentration camps near the city.

The concentration camp was ordered by Himmler, the national leader of the Nazi SS in Nazi Germany in April 1940. It consists of three main parts: concentration camp No. 1, which housed the first Polish and German political prisoners in June 1940. There are usually 130,000 to 160,000 people detained here, with a maximum of 20,000 people, including political prisoners, prisoners of war, and Jewish and Gypsy civilians. After the Soviet-German War broke out in June 41. A large number of Soviet prisoners of war were sent there one after another.

Concentration Camp No. 2, which was built in October 1941, officially called Birkenau. Birkenau is a place where German fascists used gas chambers to massacre detainees.

Concentration Camp No. 3, also known as Buna. It was a large-scale enterprise in Nazi Germany responsible for construction and production of synthetic rubber and gasoline. It was also responsible for mining coal and producing cement in several smaller concentration camps.

The German fascists set up special ‘wards’ and laboratories in the concentration camps to conduct ‘medical experiments’ with living people, as well as four ‘bathrooms’ for large-scale killing of poisonous gas, as well as corpses and cremators. Thousands of dead bodies are burned here every day. The victims were mainly Jews, Cikan people, Poles and Soviet prisoners from Poland and other European countries. The brutal fascists even knocked off the victim's gold teeth before burning the body, peeled off the tattooed person's skin to make a lampshade, and cut off the woman's long hair and weaved it into a carpet. "

"Please wait, General Oshanina." Roosevelt heard this. Frowning and interrupting the words behind me, he asked in a suspicious tone again: "I want to ask, where do you know these information?"

"Yes, this is the case, Mr. President." I would definitely not tell Roosevelt about these well-known information, saying that I had read it from the history books of later generations, but said a "goodwill" that people have to believe. Lie: "During the Defence of Stalingrad, my men had a group of surrendered officers and soldiers of the Eastern Battalion. Many of them had been in this concentration camp, and some even acted as transporters, burials, etc. The work of burning corpses. In addition to this, I also captured some German officers and soldiers who had been guards in concentration camps, and learned more detailed information from their mouths."

"So where are these people?" Roosevelt asked curiously. "If we send the staff of the International Red Cross to find them, can they say the same thing again?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. President." To Roosevelt's request, I politely refused and said, "I think it may not be possible."

"Why?" My answer aroused Roosevelt's curiosity even more.

"You may also have heard of the cruelty of the defense of Stalingrad. In that city, the life span of ordinary soldiers was only 24 hours, and officers only 72 hours. These surrendered officers and soldiers died heroically in the subsequent battles. After I finished compiling the fate of the surrendered officers and soldiers, I went on to compile the fate of the vain Auschwitz concentration camp being captured and guarded: "As for the executioners, they were all shot to death after being captured by us."

"Are there any evidence?" Just after James' translation was over, Harold, who was standing behind Roosevelt, couldn't wait to ask: "Are all dead?"

"Yes, Mr. Secretary of State." I tried to put on a solemn expression and replied to Harold: "On such a cruel battlefield, let alone ordinary officers and soldiers, even high-ranking generals are likely to sacrifice. In this case During the battle, we had many commanders above the division level who were sacrificed on the battlefield."

When Roosevelt and the others felt regretful~www.NovelMTL.com~Eleanor couldn't help but curiously asked me: "Leda, I just heard you say "poisonous bathroom", I don't know what it means? Can you tell us in detail?"

"Yes, ma'am." I said to Eleanor politely: "Because Himmler visited a special operations team to execute a large number of Jews and saw that his subordinates asked the Jews to dig a mass grave for himself. They were all killed with a machine gun. Because a few drops of the dead’s blood splashed on his body, he was very annoyed that these subordinates' methods to solve the Jews were too crude. The subordinates wanted to please him, after some research, This "poisonous gas bathroom" was successfully launched."

"Toxic gas bath?!" James interjected after translating this passage for me: "Oshanina, I really can't think of how many Jews or Soviet prisoners of war can be killed with just a few bathrooms? You say The cremator burns thousands of corpses every day, isn't it a bit too alarmist?"

Faced with the suspicion that James showed, I was not angry. After all, what I said was too unbelievable, so I politely said to him: "Mr. James, please listen to what I have said with peace of mind, and then comment on what I have said. Is it true or false?" (To be continued.)
