Chapter 27 I am Kukuf

  Three pieces of black bread said a lot but also didn't say much. At least after eating the bread, Xiaobing began to think deeply.

  "What crime have I committed? Why am I being called a traitor?" Xiaobing Jia returned to normal and began to think rationally. "I was forced out of the Capitol building by the Allied Forces using the Athena cannon during the late stages of the battle, and as a result, I lost contact with Igor at that time, but is it necessary to label me as a traitor for this reason?"

  Xiao Bingjia racked his brains, but still couldn't figure it out. However, as he continued to think wildly, after a while, his eyelids began to droop again. He lay back in his chair and slowly drifted off to sleep.

  While he was sleeping, in a daze, he felt as if someone was poking him. Xiaobingjia reluctantly opened his eyes. Before he could see clearly who the person in front of him was, a pair of icy handcuffs had already locked onto his hands.

  "Who are you?" Xiao Bing asked cautiously.

  "Follow us, don't speak, did you hear?" In the darkness, two blurry figures, one on each side, grasped Xiao Bingjia and headed out the door...

  He shook his dizzy head vigorously, still not fully awake from the shock of being woken up. He only felt himself being carried by two people through the corridor and up the stairs, then turning several corners before arriving at a room with windows covered in black cloth. The two men pressed Xiao Bingjia into a chair, unshackled his hands, twisted them behind his back, and handcuffed him to the chair, standing one on each side of him.

  A strong beam of light shone straight at him. The intense glare made Xiao Bing's eyes extremely uncomfortable, and he involuntarily turned his head away and closed his eyes.

  "Don't close your eyes, look here!" A voice that was extremely cold and detached came from behind the intense light. Upon hearing this voice, the people standing on either side of Xiao Binghe forcibly turned his head towards the direction of the intense light.

  "Why is this? Why am I locked up? And where exactly is this place?... Comrade warrior..." He narrowed his eyes and asked gruffly, staring at the person in front of him.

  "You don't have the qualifications to ask that, just answer our questions honestly." The other party slammed his pen on the table, rudely interrupting Xiao Bingjia's questioning.

  "What's your name?"

  "Xiao Bing Jia..." When saying his own name, Xiao Bing Jia secretly muttered to himself: [Bing Jia. Xiao. Caonimaovsky]

  "Rank?"

  "Paratrooper Lieutenant."

  "When did you become a spy for the Allies?" The other party asked after Xiao Bing's name and military rank, suddenly changing the subject.

  "An Allied spy?!" Xiao Bing asked back in confusion: "Comrade soldier, I don't understand what you mean."

  "Smack!" The other person slapped the table again, saying in a disdainful tone: "No need to pretend here, we have already obtained conclusive evidence that you leaked a large amount of our military intelligence to the Allied Forces during the Battle of the Council Building. And your deeds have spread throughout the entire army."

  "You're talking nonsense! I didn't do anything like that!"

  "Stop quibbling! Traitor, or else how do you explain the Allied military uniform on your body?!"

  "That was for the sake of battle, I had to put on the Allied military uniform!" Xiao Bing's words were not a lie this time, it was indeed worn for the sake of battle.

  "Oh, you've admitted it!" The officer suddenly looked enlightened.

  "What's going on?" asked Xiao Bing Jia in confusion.

  "It's about you being an Allied spy."

  "Shut up!" Xiao Bing shouted, "I don't know where you got this wrong conclusion from, but I am absolutely not a spy for the Allies." He desperately defended himself to avoid dying under this unfounded accusation.

  "But you should know that the troops attacking the parliament building are among the most elite in the Red Army. If no one had leaked their itinerary and allowed the Allied forces to plan an attack during their guard duty, they would not have been wiped out."

  Elite! Elite is useless! Xiao Bingjia cursed in his heart. Even if the soldiers of the 6th battalion were all highly skilled and had learned the legendary Shaolin Temple's Golden Bell Shield, an enemy bullet could still take their lives; even if everyone knew the so-called indestructible iron sand palm, let them try to slap a tank turret and see if they could knock it askew?

  Moreover, I myself am a warrior of the 6th camp, and I'm not even clear about its combat effectiveness~70% new recruits, only received one week's parachute training. Let such a third-rate unit play the role of 'sharp blade', even if it succeeds, I estimate that we will suffer heavy losses ourselves.

  This sentence is not wrong, the soldiers of the 313th Airborne Division's 6th Battalion were indeed shot and killed by the Allies while parachuting before attacking the Parliament Building. Those who barely escaped were mostly because they were not familiar with the action and could not adjust their posture in mid-air, and were smashed to death on the ground. As a result, only 300 soldiers of the entire 6th Battalion survived safely to the ground. These 300 people were gradually eliminated by the Allies' continuous attacks after capturing the Parliament Building.

  Seeing Xiao Bing's silence, the Red Army officer's mouth corners began to curve up with a menacing arc.

  "Silence means consent! You are a traitor hiding within our ranks. Comrade Krotchkov, take his confession over to him for signature." Along with this voice, a young man in casual clothes walked out from behind the light, holding a piece of paper, probably what they called a confession. Krotchkov had the person standing next to Xiao Bing release his handcuffs and handed the paper and pen over to Xiao Bing, asking him to sign and fingerprint it.

  No! I was very clear in my mind that once I signed, the false charges against me would be confirmed and all that would be left for me was to be shot, so I firmly refused him:

  "I am not a traitor, I absolutely will not sign any so-called confession." Xiao Bing shouted with righteous indignation.

  "Krochikov, since he won't sign, you can come back and sit down!" The voice from behind the light said: "Even if this traitor doesn't sign, it won't change the fact that he is a spy." Krochikov heard this voice and silently took the pen and paper back to the other side of the light.

  "The verdict against you is now announced!" the man said in a serious tone. The two men beside him lifted up Xiao Bing's armor and carried it, listening to the other party announce this inexplicable and absurd judgment.

  "...The verdict of the Internal People's Committee is as follows: The Allied spy Xiao Bingjia is sentenced to death, and will be executed immediately!"

  Death penalty! Xiao Bing's legs went soft with fear at this verdict, and if it weren't for the two people holding him up on either side, he would probably have fallen into his chair by now.

  What have I done?! Why was my death sentence passed so lightly!!

  Xiao Bing Jia saw the malice in his opponent's eyes, and the extinguished killing intent in his heart reignited once again.

  "Damn it! Die and be done with it! I'll drag you down with me before I die! The return of that hideous appearance has already driven one woman to suicide, what's the difference if it's you too?"

  The blood-red left eye has once again emitted the red glow of a man-eating soul, and now with just one order from Xiao Bing Jia, everyone in this room will immediately commit suicide, and Xiao Bing Jia won't even expend any energy.

  "What? Scared out of your wits?" The other sneered, "This is the fate of a traitor. You'll soon be going to Comrade Lenin's presence to atone for your sins personally." He paused and then ordered, "Drag him into the courtyard, I don't want to see this damned traitor in this house again."

  Two people responded in unison, carrying Xiao Bingjia out while dragging him away. However, he didn't notice that the head of Xiao Bingjia, who was being dragged away, was about to lift up and his mouth was still mumbling.

  "Go die." The words had reached Xiao Bing Jia's throat, and now all it took was for him to open his mouth a little wider for three lives to be lost.

  "You... all go..."

  Only one word short of being dead.

  Just then, the phone on the table rang.

  The mysterious figure behind the lamp answered the phone, and the room was so quiet that even Xiaobingjia could hear his conversation clearly.

  "Comrade Persky Klyabischev, I am Kukov. How is Comrade Shao Bingjia?"

  "Comrade Commander, he has already confessed to being a mole for the Allied Forces." Upon hearing this, Xiao Bing's anger suddenly flared up three thousand feet. [When did I ever admit to being a spy, this is simply piling on false charges!]

  "What measures have you taken?" Kukov continued in his low and slow tone.

  "He has just been sentenced to death and is about to be executed! Comrade Marshal."

  "Nonsense, absolute nonsense! Comrade Xiao Bingjia is my special envoy sent to the 16th Army Group. Such a brave and selfless comrade, how could he be a spy? He has stayed with you for long enough, don't let him idle around there any longer, send him back to the Warsaw base immediately, I have something to say to him personally." Kukov then hung up the phone.

  Xiao Bing Jia is now somewhat at a loss, wondering when he became Kukuf's special envoy. Does he even know Kukuf? And what about his traitor title? All of this is like a chaotic mess that makes Xiao Bing Jia's already confused brain even more muddled.

  The lamp that had been shining on me went out, and as the chandelier in the ceiling was turned on, the whole room suddenly became bright. I also got a clear look at Poskrebyshev, who had been talking to me all along - a big mustache, a standard Russian mug.

  He sternly ordered the two men holding him, "Let Comrade Xiao Bingjia go. He is not a spy, but our comrade. Also, you two immediately go to the courtyard and call for the best doctor to come over. There may be some misunderstanding here."

  Tonight, there is still one more, Xiao Bing Jia will start being a real commander.
