#1387 - The red flag rises under the night sky

The headquarters of the 37th Division is not far from the city, and it has a telephone line for direct contact with the municipal government.

When receiving the request from the municipal government, the 37th Division had sent two battalions of troops to set out in the city of Westcheslav.

The commander of the 37th Division shouted to the other side of the microphone at the top of his voice: "Mayor Feratov, you'd better explain clearly what's going on in the city now, what's going on in the city of West Cheslav, and why An enemy of unknown origin will emerge, and where their weapons come from, and they even dare to directly attack the arsenal in the city."

Mayor Feratov, who was being scolded, was sitting on the sofa wearing loose pajamas at this time, nervously.

Faced with the questioning of the commander of the 37th Division, he stammered and replied: "General Malailai, I just woke up by the gunshots and came to the municipal government as soon as possible. After all, it is only three o'clock in the morning. The entire city of Westcheslav is dark and most people have already fallen asleep at this time."

"In this environment, it will take some time for us to figure out the situation, but there is bad news, that is, we have lost contact with the police station, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the liberty to call you."

Commander Malelai said, "You idiot, I'm afraid the police station has been taken away by the enemy in a long time ago. I have received the following report that the enemy is attacking two arsenals in the city."

"We have three platoons in the arsenal, with nearly one company of troops stationed, which means that the enemy has at least 100 people and is equipped with weapons. Otherwise, they would not have the courage to divide the troops and act. Your police station may be in danger. ”

The words of Malelai, the commander of the 37th Division, immediately made Mayor Feratov feel a chill sweeping over his body.

At this time, Firatov was not considering whether his political career would be affected, but thinking about his life and property safety.

After all, what is clear now is that there is a bandit in Westcheslav city, and it is highly likely that it is a Labor organization. Except for them, Feratov, who dares to oppose the government.

The reason for saying this is that the riot in West Cheslav City is obviously not for "seeking money". Otherwise, with the energy and strength, the bandits would rather rob the bank in West Cheslav City than the arsenal.

If they really want to make money, then Feratov can breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, the bank was not owned by his family.

But if it was a riot launched by the Labor Party, then Feratov would not be able to sit still. As the mayor of Westcheslav City, if the Labor Party really succeeded, his fate would definitely not be good. In the worst case, he would be taken to parade and shoot targets. Then he was sentenced to reform.

After a brief brainstorming, Firatov believed that the former was more likely, after all, when he led the city of Westcheslav, he could be said to be ruthless to the local Labor Party.

In fact, it is not considered his persecution of the Labor Party, but other things he did in Westchezlav in the past, or his identity as the mayor of the "pseudo-government", would not end up well.

Therefore, at this time, Feratov could only treat the 37th Division as the last straw. He hurriedly asked for help from Malelai, "General, this is not the time to hold people accountable. I am sure the city will launch a riot. It's the Labor Party organization, and they certainly have obtained a lot of weapons through other channels."

"You should also send troops into the city immediately to suppress the Labor rebellion. Otherwise, if they really want to take down the arsenal, the matter will be serious. In fact, the city police alone may get dozens of more guns. ”

Facing Feratov, who was extremely ruthless in language theory, Malelai had a gloomy face and said angrily: "No need to say, I have sent two battalions of troops into the city, and I will lead the team into the city in person later. The district quells the chaos.”

Hearing this, Feratov's heart finally landed a little, and he complimented: "General, when the rebellion in the city is wiped out, I will definitely ask for credit from the superior government for you."

Malailai said impatiently: "Okay, at this time, what your municipal government should do most is to cooperate with our next actions and first understand the number, distribution and other information of the enemy. The large army and I probably have to wait half of it. You can only enter the city after an hour. For the next period of time, you should ask for blessings!”

After saying that, Commander Malelai hung up the phone. He rubbed his eyes and said to the rest of the division headquarters, as soon as possible, we will enter the city of Westchezlav before 4:20 minutes...

On the other side of the phone, Mayor Feratov did not relax, but considered what Ma Lailai, the commander of the 37th Division, said in the last words.

"I'd like to be blessed..." At this time, Feratov suddenly realized that the situation was not good: "No, I'm not out of danger yet. After all, no one knows what the Labor Party is doing now. That oily head in Malelai Before the big-eared guy completely quelled the rebellion, the city government is probably one of the goals of the Labor Party, and this place cannot be stayed for too long."

As he said that, he put down the phone and said to his cousin Leonid, "You idiot, why are you watching me? Hurry up and find a car to come over, and we will leave this ghost place immediately and go outside the city. Go to the 37th Division's garrison."

"Labor Party, it is definitely prepared for a sudden riot at this time. The city government is probably one of their goals. If we don't leave, we will not be able to leave then."

After Fratov said this, Leonid woke up from a dream. He hurriedly said, "Yes, cousin, you are still thoughtful, I'll go now..."

Just as Leonid was about to walk out of the office, Feratov suddenly said, "Don't worry, I'll be with you. Now I don't want to stay in this office for a second."

Since it has been confirmed that the city government is likely to be one of the Labor Party’s goals, Firatov does not want to stay here at all at this time.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains there, you will not have to worry about burning firewood. As long as he is still alive, the lost things can be taken back one day, after all, his family and connections are still there.

However, if the Labor Party is really blocked by the municipal government, it is likely that its life will be gone. Regardless of whether Malelai can finally quell the rebellion, the Labor Party will definitely not be stingy with rewarding it with a bullet before this.

So, Firatov, who had just arrived at the city government from home and had not yet sat in the hot side, led his cousin towards the garage. At the same time, on the way to the garage, he said to other people in the city government: "I want it." Go to the police station to check the situation, you stay here and be responsible for contacting the army."

"Everyone, don't worry, General Malelai's troops have entered the city to quell the chaos, and there are only one hundred people in the rebellion, so they cannot become a climate..."

Hearing Feratov's words, the people of the city government believed it. After all, the city of Sicheslav is stationed with a whole division of troops. Even if the Labor Party is powerful, it is definitely not a rival to the 37th Division.

In this way, Feratov took his cousin Leonid and left his subordinates and ran away first.

Less than ten minutes after they drove away from the West Cheslav Municipal Government, hundreds of Labor-led teams surrounded the municipal government, and five minutes later, a red Labor flag quietly rose on the roof of the municipal government building.

The bright red flag declares that the city has changed hands now, but because the sky is not yet dawn, the red flag can only float in the night.

When the red flag was raised, Feratov and Leonid had already driven away from the city center.

Their car is an Otto official car made in East Africa, which is very reliable in performance and has high comfort.

However, the road conditions in Westcheslav City are very poor, and Leonid's poor driving skills still make Feratov feel very bumpy.

Feratov leaned against the sofa behind the car and scolded Leonid continuously, "You idiot, you didn't even notice that the Labor Party organization is doing such a big move under your nose."

"I let you be the leader of the anti-labor group in Westcheslav City. That's how you repay me? If the Labor Party is really successful, we can't afford to take advantage of it."

"Even if the Labor Party is suppressed by the 37th Division, you will definitely have to bear the main responsibility. I don't know where you found a bunch of wine bags. Even if we could receive a little news before, we wouldn't be like the ones we are now. dog."

Faced with Feratov's almost roaring reprimand, Leonid also cursed in his heart: "This group of people can only make money. If they use it, I will not be scolded by my cousin."

While the two were running away, a big drama was also being started in the 37th Division headquarters in the suburbs.

More than ten minutes ahead, when Malailai just issued an order to assemble the troops, someone was already rushing towards the division headquarters.

"Which part of you are?" the guards of the division asked the troops that suddenly appeared.

Petrov said to the guards: "We are the 108th Brigade, and we are ordered to come here according to General Malelai's order. This is us..."

Just as the guards were about to come forward to check, the soldiers under the commander Petrov suddenly took action and subdued the two guards.

"Don't move, otherwise you will be killed with one shot?" said the cold muzzle pressing against the head of the guard who was crushed to the ground.

At this time, Petrov said, "Tie them up and we will meet the commander Malelai and others."

Soon, the group entered the yard where the division headquarters was located in a swagger. Under the crowd, the guard platoon under Ma Lailai noticed something strange, but did not dare to act rashly.

Because the military uniform and weapons worn by the other party were obviously his own, and Petrov, who was in charge, was even wearing an officer's uniform. Judging from the military rank, he was at least a regiment commander, and at the same time, the other party was crowded with people, which was even more important. Let them not dare to be careless.

Afterwards, they took the initiative to hand over their guns with sensible sensibility.

Petrov also brought his men to the command room of the division headquarters, blocking the top leaders of the 37th Division, including Malelai, and other members of the 37th Division.

"Petrov, what are you doing? Are you going to rebel?" Malelai looked at Petrov and the soldiers he brought over and asked loudly.

Petrov clapped his hands and said, "Teacher, you really have a sharp eye. Since you already know our purpose, please cooperate with our work. Now the division headquarters has been completely occupied by our regiment. It is best not to be careful. ”

Hearing Petrov's straightforward words, Malelai and other senior officials of the 37th Division were stunned.

Commander Malelai swallowed, pointed his trembling finger at Petrov and said, "You, you... are Labor!"

Petrov laughed and said, "Yes, I'm a Labor fighter now."

Malelai said angrily: "Petrov, I treat you very well. Why do you betray me and surrender to the Labor Party?"

Petrov said, "The way is different, and we don't plan for each other. Although you are good to me, I want to save Ukraine, so I don't talk about personal feelings in the face of justice."

Hearing Petrov's decent speech, Malelai was angry and smiled. He asked, "Can the Labor Party bring a future to Ukraine, which is worth your life for them without regard for personal affair?"

Petrov said, "Actually, I don't know if the Labor Party can lead the people and transform this country without hope, as they said, but many of their policies are obviously beneficial to the people."

"And, even without the Labor Party, I am completely disappointed with the current Ukrainian government. They are just puppets supported by Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire."

"Also, this so-called puppet government is full of corruption, and bureaucracy is prevalent, and it ignores the lives and deaths of the people. The entire country is like a rotten wood corroded by borers, and it is extremely fragile."

"So, such Ukraine is completely useless, so it's better to push it back and start over, so I chose to cooperate with the Labor Party. At least no matter how bad they are, they are much stronger than the current Ukrainian government."

After hearing Petrov's words, Malelei was silent because what Petrov said was completely the truth, and in fact he also had no hope for the current Ukrainian government.

As a senior Ukrainian official, Commander Malelai is actually very clear that the Ukrainian government is now a silly and cannot stand up to the wall, and it is even worse than the Tsar era.

Of course, although he has no hope for the Ukrainian government, he also looks down on the Labour Party's mud legs.

Malelai said: "The Ukrainian government is indeed a pile of rotten wood as you said, but the Labor Party organization may not be able to govern a country well. When I was young, I was also an ambitious young man, but when I was in a high position, If you know how to govern a country, you have no choice but to do things."

Petrov shook his head and said, "I don't know what the country under the leadership of the Labor Party will be, but if you try it, it will never be worse than today. At least they are willing to change, and the Ukrainian government is just a group of people who only know how to get along. Ukraine doesn't even have a future in their hands when eating the borer that is waiting to die."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, Commander Malelai, I hope that you will cooperate with our actions in the next step, stop all military operations of the 37th Division, and help us control the top leaders of the army."

"We don't want to start a massacre in Westcheslav city either."

Facing what Petrov said, Malelei did not agree because of life and death, but asked, "How many people are there in your operation?"

Petrov said: "In addition to me, there is also the commander of the Molinkuzov, which means that we have nearly 4,000 people. This is the military. The Labor Party has also organized tens of thousands of workers in the city without leaving the site. If we can see, they should have captured the arsenal with the cooperation of Commander Molinkuzov."

"So, the 37th Division is actually unable to make up for the situation, and the Westcheslav municipal government has also come to an end. Even if someone chooses to resist, the final result will be nothing more than defeat by us and a team of tens of thousands of workers."

Hearing this, Malelai knew that the situation was hopeless. After all, when the division headquarters was controlled by Petrov, the army loyal to Ukraine was only more than 8,000. In the state of no leader, these more than 8,000 people had detailed plans. The Labour Party has little chance of winning.

So after pondering for a while, Malelai seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed in his chair and said, "Okay! You win, next I will cooperate with you and stop all the military operations of the 37th Division. , and hand over the command to you."
