    Stalin stared blankly at his subordinates who were also stunned.  !

    Now, the gunshots coming from outside have no effect on them at all. For them, they are just waiting there in fear.

    The Germans would soon storm in and arrest and even shoot them all.

    Although failure has been expected very early, when the fate of failure actually comes, it will undoubtedly still make people feel uncomfortable.

    Stalin asked them many questions, but these once arrogant and aloof top leaders of the Soviet Union were now unable to answer a single question.

    Stalin was not disappointed at all. The reaction of these guys had already been expected by him.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  He stood up with a slight trembling: "Comrades, since you have nothing to say, please allow me to leave here for a while"

    He didn¡¯t care about these guys anymore, but staggered out.

    After a while, Beria walked in. Not only was he alone, but there were also many soldiers with guns and live ammunition behind him.

    "Comrade Beria, what do you want to do?" The speaker was Comrade Stalin's most important right-hand man, member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks), standing advisor to the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union, and political commissar of General Zhedano  husband.

    There was no expression on Beria's face: "Comrade Zhdanov, the war is about to end. As members of the Soviet Supreme Command, you must not fall into the hands of the enemy and accept despicable trials!  "

    Zhdanov and everyone else immediately understood what was going to happen, and he shouted: "No, you have no right to do this!"

    "I have this right, it was given to me by Comrade Stalin!" Beria's voice was still so cold, and then he pulled out his pistol and shot Zhdanov without any hesitation.

    "Then, as if it was an order, the guns in the hands of the soldiers fired together.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But now, under the bullets, they have no ability to resist at all.

    The whole office was completely stained red with blood.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Dead¡¤These people are all dead, and they all died under the orders of Comrade Stalin.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    This is probably the saddest day. Some of these people are ready to surrender to the Germans, and some are indeed ready to die for their cause.

    But now, Comrade Stalin has not given them this opportunity at all.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    When the last gunshot fell, Beria still did not forget his responsibility. He took a pistol and shot each corpse again before he felt relieved.

    Beria never dared to take the tasks assigned by Comrade Stalin lightly.  It wasn't until all this was over that he left here leisurely.  As for how to dispose of these corpses?  The enemy is almost here. Who else will care about the corpse?

    In another office, Beria saw Stalin sitting there blankly, and then he stood there silently.

    After a long time, Stalin finally said: "It's over, you can leave, Comrade Beria."

    He didn¡¯t ask how the people in the conference room were doing, because he knew that he could rest assured about what he had assigned Beria to do.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "There is another Comrade Zhukov, what are you going to do with him?" Beria did not leave immediately.

    Stalin pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Forget it, forget it, Comrade Zhukov has done his best. No matter what choice he makes, please don't interfere with him."

    Stalin made his own choice, and this choice undoubtedly saved Zhukov's life.

    Until this time, Zhukov still didn¡¯t know what terrible things happened in the Kremlin.  Although he knew that the war was irreversible, he still persisted on the battlefield.

    He was the Marshal of the Soviet Union and the person who commanded all the troops in Moscow. As long as the enemy did not kill or capture him, he vowed to fight to the end.

    This is a responsibility, the responsibility of a marshal!

    At this time, the German army had officially launched an attack on the Kremlin, and a large amount of artillery fire covered this sacred place in Russia in the past.

    Zhukov knew that the end had come.  He even remembered today firmly:

    ?September 15, 1943.

    On this day, everything will end.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    There is nothing to regret. Nothing.

    Here, he witnessed everything happening; here, he witnessed the collapse of a national regime; here, he witnessed the beginning and end of everything.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Here, he will end his historical mission.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®-

    He has been here, he has seen it!

    When he saw Volvok again, Marshal Timoshenko's most loyal subordinate, his identity was completely different from his.

    He represents the winner.

    "And Zhukov knew the purpose of the other party's coming, he was here to persuade them to surrender.  In fact, by this time, Zhukov had also considered the possibility of surrender.

    But the dignity of a soldier still prevented him from taking this last step.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Look, this battlefield." Volvok pointed to the battlefield and said, "Do you think there is still hope?"!

    "No more." Zhukov said frankly: "Even if you give me the strength of ten more divisions now, I have no way to save the war."

    "Then what are you waiting for?" Volvok asked: "Are you waiting to perish with this place?"

    Zhukov slowly shook his head: "No, I don't want to see this place perish, but I still have my own responsibilities. Responsibility, do you understand? General Volvok Comrade Stalin and our party, take command  The glorious mission here is given to me, so what I have to do is complete my mission."

    "Comrade Stalin and the Party?" Volvok smiled sarcastically: "Before the Battle of Kharkov began, Comrade Stalin also said the same thing to Marshal Timoshenko, but then? Forget it, Iron  Marshal Mu Xinge did not ask me to say these things. £®Marshal Zhukov, your task now is not to continue this hopeless war, but to end it as soon as possible.  Man, too much blood has been shed and this tragedy should not continue. At the same time, I also bring the words of Marshal Ernst Brahm. When you decide to surrender and end the war, you will get the most justice.  trial and you have the right to defend yourself."

    "Did Marshal Ernst really say that? I will get a fair trial?" Zhukov asked.

    What he must admit is that his biggest rival in life is Ernst.  Brahm did not deceive himself. He was clearly conveying a message to himself that he would definitely be judged.

    An enemy who never deceives his opponent is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

    And what Zhukov needs is a fair trial.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Yes, that's what Marshal Ernst said." Volvok said very seriously: "He also made the same promise to Marshal Vasilevsky. He told Marshal Vasilevsky that the trial would definitely be held.  But he promises to be fair. You may be sentenced to life in prison, but no one can even write your memoirs in prison."

    Having said this, he fell silent for a moment: "In fact, according to Marshal Ernst's original intention, you should not even be tried, because you are soldiers, and the duty of soldiers is to win the war. What you are only executing is the government's order.  The government in Moscow has to give up this idea.  Your troops participated in the plunder of Russia and the harm to the Russian people. A large number of civilians were sent to labor camps or directly killed because of your relationship. £®  Marshal Zhukov, do you admit this?"

    Zhukov nodded silently.  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Yes, he admits that.

    ¡°Whether it was in the previous great famine or in the subsequent great purge, they did many things against their will, and this tortured them all the time.

    It can even be said that it was completely fair for Marshal Ernst to let them accept such a trial.

    "The second reason is also very important" Volvok's voice became deeper and deeper: "For the sake of balance. You have to know that the Russian Free Government made very big mistakes in this military operation.  Most of them are nobles from the Tsarist era or their descendants, and they hate you and your companions such as Vasily.  Marshal Vsky, so we must?For Russia to have a smooth transition in the future, someone must make sacrifices.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    "I understand, I understand." Zhukov actually smiled at this time: "You know, I am even more eager to see Marshal Ernst now."

    "The Marshal is waiting for your arrival."

    Zhukov said: "I can end the war, but I must agree to one of my conditions. Soviet officers and soldiers who lay down their weapons must not be harmed in any way, and no officers below generals can be tried. All responsibilities  , let us generals or marshals take the responsibility."

    "I will convey it, but before that, please give the order to stop fighting."

    Zhukov accepted this suggestion.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  The gunfire was stopped at the Kremlin.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    There are very few people who refuse to carry out this order. The war has now progressed and everyone is tired.  They were just mechanically and numbly executing the order to continue fighting. Every one of them knew that the Soviet Union had long lost hope for the war.

    Zhukov¡¯s order saved them in the most timely manner.

    They should even thank Zhukov.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    ¡°Within less than a moment¡¯s notice after Zhukov put forward his opinion, Volvok returned.  He told Marshal Zhukov and Marshal Ernst agreed to his request.

    "Now it's your turn to do what you should do, Marshal Zhukov."

    Zhukov nodded calmly, and then he issued this order to all the Soviet soldiers:

    "Soviet officers, Soviet soldiers, it is September 15, 1943. On this day, even though I don't want to, I must tell each of you with a heavy heart that the war is over.  . . . . Yes, we should not continue to let innocent people bleed. I think I should do something within my power, such as surrendering.  £®Believe me, I am more reluctant to give such an order than anyone else. £®  I firmly believe that I am willing to fight and die here. But now there is no need to continue the war. All of us know what it will mean. £®  Keep your weapons alive. . . Now, I declare that all Soviet Red Army soldiers who have stopped or are still resisting are defeated.  German troops, surrender!¡±

    This order spread in Moscow in various ways.

    Some Russians burst into tears, some put down their weapons expressionlessly, and some simply chose to commit suicide.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Most of the Soviet soldiers chose to surrender to the Germans instead of the so-called Russian Free Army troops.  At least it is easier to convince yourself that you are defeated at the hands of an enemy that is far more powerful than directly.

    The originally noisy battlefield suddenly became extremely quiet.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Everyone¡¯s mood is so heavy.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  Now, the entire Moscow resistance force is gone beyond the pitifully small guard troops in the Kremlin.  The German army can enter with great arrogance.

    When Zhukov walked out of his command post, he let out a long breath of relief.

    The heavy burden on him was finally lifted.

    He met his friend Vasilevsky, Marshal Timoshenko, and of course Ernst.  Brahm.

    This legendary skeleton baron.

    "During World War I, we were enemies." Zhukov said straight to the point: "At that time, we had a battle, but I lost to you. From that day on, I have been extremely eager to see  You didn¡¯t expect that it would take so many years for this wish to come true.¡±

    "Anyway, we still met." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "Fate has already made arrangements."

    The two of them chatted as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

    There was no hostility at all, no arrogance of the winner or dejection of the loser.  At this moment they were completely equal.

    Groups of German soldiers passed in front of them, and groups of Russian prisoners walked in front of them.

    Zhukov pointed to the Russian prisoners: "What are you going to do with them?"

    "I think they will soon"Be released.  Wang Weiyi replied very seriously: "They are just executing the orders of their superiors. The responsibility does not lie with them, but with their respective governments."  Some of them have caused us a lot of trouble and suffered a lot of sacrifices, but so what?  A soldier who faithfully executes the orders of his superiors and fights bravely is the most respectable.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    "Thank you, Marshal." Zhukov sighed softly: "As their marshal, I must be responsible for them, even if I am also a prisoner now. Marshal, where is the place where I am detained?"

    "A very quiet place." Wang Weiyi said without any concealment: "Before the trial begins, I will ensure that you will not be disturbed in any way. No one can disturb you and Marshal Vasilevsky. This is my right to  Your promise."

    Zhukov once again expressed his gratitude.

    Georgi.  Konstantinovich.  Zhukov, in August 1915, Zhukov was drafted into the army, entered the cavalry unit, and participated in World War I.

    In February 1931, he was promoted to commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade. In February 1932, he was appointed deputy director of the Cavalry Directorate. In March 1933, he was appointed commander of the 4th Cavalry Division. From the autumn of 1937 to the spring of 1938, he served as the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Corps and the 6th Cavalry Division.  Commander of the Army, he served as a military adviser in China for a short time in 1938 and was promoted to deputy commander of the Belarusian Special Military District.  In September 1939, the Japanese army carried out armed provocations in the Halaha River area, and the situation in the Far East became tense.  Zhukov was appointed commander of the 1st Army Group of the Soviet Army in Mongolia, commanding the war against Japan.  He successfully organized and implemented the Battle of Haleha River in a short period of time, and achieved a great victory in wiping out more than 50,000 enemy troops at a relatively small cost of 9,000 casualties.

    In this battle, Zhukov first showed his talents, showing his superb command and organizational skills.  He was good at coordinating the actions of infantry, artillery, tanks and aviation, boldly implemented roundabout encirclement, and annihilated the main enemy force by surprise.  His theory of concentrated use of tanks was also confirmed in actual combat.

    Zhukov¡¯s triumphant return to Moscow was praised by the whole country and he was awarded the title of ¡°Hero of the Soviet Union¡±.

    In May 1940, he was promoted to general in advance and was soon appointed commander of the Kiev Special Military District, the largest military region in the Soviet Union.  On January 11, 1941, Zhukov served as Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Army.

    On September 15, 1943, Zhukov, who had been promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union, surrendered to the Germans in Moscow!
