Just when everyone was silent, Timoshenko spoke: "Alexei, you didn't come here to complain today, did you? Do you have anything else to say to us?"
"Hehe" Alexey smiled: "Comrade Marshal is really calm. In fact, I came here today just to give you a guarantee."
"What kind of guarantees, Alexey, don't hide it, tell me what you have to say immediately." The speaker was Major General Tchaikovsky.
"Comrade Major General Tchaikovsky and all generals and comrades marshals." Alexei also became serious: "I have been entrusted by General Su Tong, commander of the 37th Group Army of the Chairman of the Chahar Provincial Government of China, to bring you
A message." After saying this, everyone present looked serious. This message was related to their fortunes and lives.
"Admiral Su Tong said that as long as you and the soldiers here lay down their weapons, he guarantees with his honor as a soldier that your lives and property will be protected, and you will also receive treatment commensurate with your military rank." Listen.
When Alexey arrived here, he found that most of the people present looked relaxed. Alexey smiled slightly in his heart. It seemed that General Su was right. Life is only once for everyone, and everyone will cherish him.
.
Alexey turned to Timoshenko and smiled slightly and said: "Comrade Marshal Timoshenko, General Su Tong also asked me to tell you, please do not attempt to commit suicide to obtain the final honor of a soldier. Because
This will not help, if you really want to serve people and benefit the country, you can choose to do it in another way."
"How is it okay, Comrade Marshal, that you want to commit suicide?" As soon as Alexey finished speaking, there was a "boom" in the conference room. The expressions of only a few generals did not change. Stalin temporarily promoted Timoshin.
They have already guessed the meaning behind my brother being a marshal. After all, the purges over the years have made many people see his true face. He is a thorough reader. For his own face and interests, he can kill
anyone.
Brother Timoshenko smiled bitterly and said, "Can't I even die? Your General Su Tong is too overbearing."
Alexey solemnly said: "Marshal Timoshenko, there is an old Chinese saying that there are people who die as heavy as Mount Tai, and there are people who are as light as a feather. Sooner or later, a person must return to the embrace of God, but before that
, he has to leave something to the world, what about you? What have you left to the Russian people? Is it just a story of committing suicide after defeat? Don’t you want to leave something in the history of Russia? Just like Peter the Great.
Will you leave your name in history?" At this moment, Alexei was like a cunning fox, spitting out words like honey.
Everyone was shocked by Alexei's words. To leave his name in history like Peter the Great is something they usually never dare to think about. Who is Peter the Great? He is the greatest emperor in Russian history, bar none.
It can be said that without Peter the Great, Russia would not have such a vast territory as it is today. It can be said that without Peter the Great, Russia would not exist today.
"This" Timoshenko swallowed hard and then said with a forced smile: "I don't dare to have sex with Peter the Great. I have to discuss this matter with my comrades. After all, this matter is of great importance. I will
Individuals cannot make the decision."
"Of course." Alexey smiled slyly and said, "But I still want to add one thing. General Su Tong said that if you choose to surrender, you have two options. One is to go to Chahar.
Build the railway together with General Molokov and General Andrupv, and the other is to join our Russian Guard [] and join me in contributing to the great Russian rejuvenation. Of course, the road is still up to you.
Make your own choice and we won't interfere. Well, I'll go out first and you can discuss it slowly, but please hurry up, we don't have much time." After speaking, Alexei turned around and left quickly.
After Alexey left, everyone looked at me and everyone fell silent.
General Maksalev, the political commissar of the Kiev Front who had been silent since the meeting, spoke: "Now that we have reached this point, I will not say anything more. It is up to you to choose where to go. After all, you only have one life.
Everyone has the right to choose." After saying that, General Maksalev looked around and looked at everyone's expressions. He knew that everyone had already made a choice in their hearts, but now there was no one to take the lead. They were embarrassed to express their stance.
.
Silence, still silence
"Since no one dares to say it, let me do it." At this time, a general stood up. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Major General Tchaikovsky.
He raised his head and said angrily: "Now that we are in this situation, you can imagine, even if we are lucky enough to break out and return to Moscow, what will happen to us? Will we be taken away by the Cheka for review or
Being imprisoned in a hard labor camp for the rest of my life. If any of you want to do this, I have nothing to say. You can also laugh at me as a coward, but I don’t care. I won’t go to that hellish place anyway. So I will choose to fight against the Chinese army.
Surrender, at worst, you can build the railway like General Molokov and General Andrupv, and you can also play football on Sundays. I have finished my words." After finishing speaking, Major General Tchaikovsky sat back.
.
"Ahem!" Marshal Timoshenko coughed a few times and said: "Since everyone is silent, let's vote collectively. The minority must obey the majority."
"Comrades who are determined to break through, please raise your hands."
Everyone, look at me, look at you. No one is moving. Are you kidding me? I am surrounded by an army of 300,000 people. I have tens of thousands of remaining soldiers who don’t even have a few bullets. How can I break out of the encirclement? Use a bayonet.
And fists? Stop joking.
"Well, those who agree to surrender to the Chinese army on the opposite side please raise your hands." Timoshenko coughed and said again.
Now some people started to raise their hands, and it was Major General Tchaikovsky. Anyway, everyone knew his position, and he was not afraid of being said to be a capitulator.
Everything would be easier if someone took the lead. Major General Tchaikovsky raised his hand, and someone immediately followed. After a while, there were more and more hands in the conference room. In the end, everyone raised their hands, including
Comrade Staff, who just scolded Major General Tchaikovsky, has no choice. Now the minority obeys the majority. This comrade still has a very organizational sense.
"Well, since everyone has raised their hands, let's invite Lieutenant General Alexei to come in." Timoshenko felt bitter in his heart at this time. He came here with more than 300,000 troops and wanted to make achievements.
Unexpectedly, they were brought into the enemy's prisoner-of-war camp.
"Sir, sir, this old man has surrendered, Brother Timoshenko, this old man has surrendered." When Wang Dayong ran into Chief Su's office, he saw two figures hugging each other, and he felt embarrassed.
Wang Dayong quickly exited the office.
"Hell, this idiot Wang Dayong finally found an opportunity to be intimate with his wife, but you interrupted him. Let's see how I deal with you in the future." Seeing that his face turned red with embarrassment, he struggled to get away and walked quickly outside.
Little nurse, Chief Su cursed secretly in his heart.
A four-wheel-drive jeep was driving hard on a rough road, with large or small craters appearing from time to time. It was followed by several jeeps and a group of trucks full of soldiers.
Su Tong sat in the back seat of the jeep, with his wife and translator Yulia sitting next to him. He slowly blew out a few smoke rings from his mouth, and his mind was already thinking about how to deal with the menacing Zhukov Group.
An army of 700,000 people is enough for him to drink a pot. Zhukov, who suffered a big loss last time, will not be beaten to death by himself like last time. He will definitely make steady progress and take advantage of
With the advantage of his strong military strength, he can crush his own living space and force himself back to the country, or at least force himself into the trading city. Zhukov is known for his prudent use of troops. This time he will never make the mistake of last time and risk a sudden advance.
Okay, what should I do?
Chief Su, who had been thinking for a long time and still couldn't figure out a thought, got a headache the more he thought about it, so he opened the window and slammed the cigarette butt out of the car window.
"Honey, we are here." At this time, Yulia beside her gently reminded her husband.
Su Tong suddenly raised his head and realized that he was already outside the Soviet headquarters, and Timoshenko had already led the generals to wait for him in front of the headquarters.
After tidying up his military appearance and rubbing his face with his hands, Chief Su put on a smile and got out of the car.
Timoshenko led everyone to wait at the entrance of the headquarters. He saw a convoy approaching, the jeep headed by it stopped in front, and an outrageously young general got out and the three shining stars on his shoulders.
When the light shines on the star, he knows that the true Lord has come.
As soon as Su Tong got out of the car, he saw a large group of Soviet generals in front of him, embracing a Soviet general in his forties and walking towards him.
At this time, Yulia and the generals behind Su Tong also got out of the car and followed behind him. Su Tong walked forward after feeling that everyone had gotten off the car. He secretly cursed in his heart, damn, there are so many people.
Are you scaring me? There are more people than I am and I’m not scared either.
Brother Timoshenko also led the crowd to greet him, took the lead in saluting, and then said: "Welcome, General Su Tong."
Chief Su returned the gift and looked back at Yulia. The little girl came to her senses and acted as a translator beside Su Tong. After hearing this, Su Tong smiled and said: "Marshal Timoshenko,
Everyone must know our purpose of coming. General Alexei, have you made my meaning clear to Marshal Timoshenko?"
