Leng Tiefeng didn't understand the meaning of Xu Rui's words, but he knew that with Xu Rui's character, he must be brewing a big idea. If he could realize this idea, it would definitely be a shocking event.
Leng Tiefeng was thinking that no matter what, he must support Lao Xu. Langya would always stand on the same front as Lao Xu.
Thinking of this, Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, no matter what, Langya and I will definitely support you and be your solid backing."
Xu Rui said: "Okay, veteran, you don't need to say anything when you see Zhukov, just look at me."
"good!"
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng and Xu Rui headed towards Zhukov's office in the Kremlin.
Along the way, we saw the Soviet troops setting up posts, but many of these Soviet troops were now familiar with Xu Rui. Because of Xu Rui's impressive record, they all respected Xu Rui, and they all saluted after seeing Xu Rui.
Xu Rui ignored him and led Leng Tiefeng straight into the Kremlin.
Outside Zhukov's office, Feiklenko saw Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng coming, and he felt happy and said quickly: "Comrade Xu Rui, Comrade Zhukov is waiting for you inside."
Xu Rui nodded and led Leng Tiefeng into Zhukov's office.
When Zhukov saw Xu Rui coming, his eyes immediately shone with excitement, and he said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you once again saved the northern battlefield and annihilated Paulus's 168th Division. This time you gave Paulus a painful beating."
."
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Zhukov, you came to me not just to praise me, right?"
Zhukov smiled and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, of course I don't just want to praise you. In order to commend you for your outstanding contribution in the Patriotic War, the Central Military Commission has decided to award you the Order of the Red Star. The Order of the Red Star is only awarded during wartime."
Individuals, troops and groups who have made meritorious service in national defense during peacetime have never been awarded to foreigners. Comrade Xu Rui, you are the first foreigner to receive the Red Star Medal."
After Zhukov finished speaking, he pinned a Red Star Medal in the shape of a red five-pointed star with a Soviet soldier holding a gun engraved in the middle on Xu Rui's chest.
Xu Rui said: "Thank you comrades from the Soviet Union for your kindness."
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you just came back from the northern front and did not know the situation on the front. The situation on the northern front is relatively good. Due to your outstanding performance, the northern front position has been completely consolidated and expanded to the north.
With a distance of more than a thousand meters, it was difficult for the German army to organize an effective attack for a while.
Although the Red Army on the Western Front fought very hard under the leadership of Lieutenant General Kuznetsov, it was able to hold on for a while. The situation on the Southern Front was already extremely critical. After the Germans captured Vlasov, the Southern Front
The line's defense always lacked a strong leader.
I have ordered Comrade Beloborodo to be the commander-in-chief of the Red Army on the southern front. However, Comrade Beloborodo fought very hard and retreated step by step. Therefore, I decided to assign the 17th and 145th Tank Brigades and the 49th Infantry Brigade to
A battalion will be put under your command to form a new armored assault force to reinforce Comrade Beloborodo."
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, these are the last two tank brigades in Moscow. I hand them over to you. I hope you can use them reasonably to repel the German attack on the southern front."
However, Xu Rui remained silent after hearing Zhukov's words. He didn't say yes or no, he just stood there, thoughtfully.
Zhukov was a very smart person and immediately understood Xu Rui's intention. Xu Rui was bargaining.
At that moment, Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, as long as you go to reinforce and defeat the German offensive on the front line, then I can report to Comrade Stalin and give the Eighth Route Army two divisions of equipment."
Xu Rui listened to Zhukov's words with no expression on his face, still thinking thoughtfully.
Zhukov's face darkened, thinking that Xu Rui was up to his old tricks again and wanted more equipment, but this time his appetite was too big. Can't the equipment of the two divisions satisfy him?
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, the Soviet Union is currently in its most difficult period. We have given full support to the Eighth Route Army. It is really difficult to have more military supplies to assist the Eighth Route Army."
Xu Rui just didn't speak, as if he didn't hear Zhukov's words.
Zhukov was very annoyed. After thinking about it, the Soviet army in Moscow really couldn't do without Xu Rui. If the war on the southern front could not be turned around as soon as possible, Moscow would probably be lost.
Don't let a small thing make a big loss. Thinking of this, Zhukov suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, let's do this. I can apply to Comrade Stalin to give equipment to three divisions of the Eighth Route Army."
Zhukov felt that he had done his best. With the equipment of the three divisions, under the current situation, he had indeed done everything he could. However, Xu Rui just did not speak and stood like this, half-squinting his eyes, pretending to listen.
Disappeared.
When Zhukov saw that Xu Rui still had this expression, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Comrade Xu Rui, what do you need to do before you are willing to take action?"
Xu Rui looked at Zhukov coldly, his eyes were as cold as ice, which chilled Zhukov's heart.
This was the first time Zhukov saw Xu Rui's eyes like this, and he couldn't help being shocked.
"Comrade Zhukov, have you finished speaking?" Xu Rui asked.
"Well, Comrade Xu Rui, if you are not satisfied with the conditions, you can tell me a condition you are satisfied with and I will consider it," Zhukov said.
Zhukov really has no choice now. Officers on all fronts have suffered repeated defeats. Only Xu Rui has won every battle. Therefore, he also understands that if he wants to reverse the war situation in Moscow, he can only reuse Xu Rui. Otherwise, Moscow is likely to
Lost, and once Moscow is lost, it will be a catastrophic consequence for the Patriotic War, which will greatly weaken the fighting will and morale of the Soviet army. This is something the Soviet Union cannot bear, and if it wants to resolve the crisis in Moscow,
And it has to be Xu Rui.
At this time, Zhukov was being manipulated by Xu Rui and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Comrade Xu Rui, what do you want? What do you want! You can tell me your conditions." Zhukov said anxiously.
At this time, Xu Rui finally spoke.
He said in a powerful voice: "China is a nation that has suffered a lot. In modern history, it has been continuously invaded by foreign invaders and lost a large area of land. Among them, Russia has occupied the most land in China. In the Northeast
and northwest China, Russia ceded a total of more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land in China. At the same time, under Russia's instigation, Mongolia became independent from China, and more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land was once again lost.
Belongs to China.
I remember that Comrade Lenin once said after the October Revolution that all the land occupied by Russia should be returned to China, but when it came to Comrade Stalin, Comrade Lenin’s words did not count at all..."
"Comrade Xu Rui, what are you going to say?" Zhukov vaguely felt that Xu Rui must have some big conditions.
Xu Rui said: "I just want to say one thing: China will not lose an inch of the territory that belongs to China. We must come back. China will not take an inch of the territory that does not belong to China!"
Zhukov seemed to understand somewhat and said: "You mean..."
Xu Rui said: "My request is very simple. The Soviet Union will fulfill what Comrade Lenin promised and must return the territory it occupied in China during the Russian period!"
"This is impossible!" Zhukov roared.
Xu Rui looked at the furious Zhukov with cold eyes, showing no intention of giving in.
"Xu Rui, you are too courageous to want to return the territory. I can tell you for sure that this is impossible. The Soviet Union will not cede any land, let alone to the weak China!"
Xu Rui snorted coldly and said, "That way, there is no need for us to continue talking."
Zhukov threatened: "Xu Rui, the equipment I promised you for the Eighth Route Army has not yet been delivered. If you are so unreasonable, I will consider applying to Comrade Stalin to cancel support for the Eighth Route Army."
Xu Rui snorted coldly and said: "Zhukov, if you dare to cancel the supplies promised to the Eighth Route Army, then Langya and I will stand on the side of Germany."
Zhukov slapped the table and shouted: "Xu Rui, you are so courageous that you want to betray Germany. Do you want to threaten me?"
Leng Tiefeng saw that Xu Rui and Zhukov were quarreling and wanted to stop it, but he wanted to think about what Xu Rui had just said, so he swallowed the words on his lips and just said: "Old Xu, what's the matter?
We can discuss it in the long term and don’t make it too tense.”
Xu Rui glanced at Leng Tiefeng and said: "Veteran, when it comes to matters involving national interests, you cannot give in even an inch!"
Leng Tiefeng looked at Xu Rui, gritted his teeth and said: "Old Xu, you are right, no matter what, I will stand on the same front with you!"
Xu Rui nodded, saw Zhukov, and said: "Zhukov, I, Xu Rui, do what I say. If you can meet my conditions, then I will definitely help the Soviet Union defeat the Germans and eliminate the German threat to Moscow."
, if you don’t agree to my conditions, I will never help the Soviet Union fight another war with my wolf fangs.”
Zhukov said: "Xu Rui, do you really think that the great Soviet Red Army is indispensable for you? From now on, you will no longer hold the position of Chief of Staff. You will be suspended immediately and prepare to be reviewed by the Ministry of Security. Your wolf teeth will be replaced by
Directly led by the Moscow City Defense Command."
Zhukov then said to Leng Tiefeng: "Comrade Leng Tiefeng, I now appoint you as the staff director of the Moscow City Defense Command, and I want you to go into battle immediately with your wolf teeth!"
Leng Tiefeng rolled his eyes at Zhukov and said: "Comrade Zhukov, I, Leng Tiefeng and Langya will always stand on the side of Comrade Xu Rui. Comrade Xu Rui cannot participate in the war, and Langya will never participate in the war."
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
Zhukov was so angry that he roared: "It's really a rebellion, it's a rebellion! You Chinese cannot be trusted. The Soviet people can defeat the German attack without your help..."
