Chapter 1573 Fight to the death

After hearing what General Zhukov said, Lieutenant General Krugrov, political commissar of the Russian Army's Moscow Garrison, and Major General Liapin, chief of staff, could not help but fall silent. Of course they can figure it out.

After the German army discovered that Joseph had fled Moscow, they immediately dispatched the air force to bomb the train Joseph was traveling on. At the same time, he did not hesitate to dispatch more than 100,000 elite armored troops to launch an attack, in order to kill Joseph in one fell swoop, making Russia lose a unified leader against the German invasion.

If Joseph is killed, it will be a heavy burden for Russia. From this, we can understand why the Germans dispatched so many elite troops to attack Nizhny Novgodero. Obviously, the Germans wanted to kill Joseph completely.

Now, the Germans have dispatched a large army to close the siege of Moscow. This made the main force of the Russian army in Moscow a shackle. Once the Russian army wiped out all the Russian troops in the city of Moscow, then the elite of the Russian army could be regarded as wiped out.

After all, the German army began to attack Moscow, and they would never let go of another important city, Josephgrad. The main force of the Russian army is now concentrated in these two cities.

"The Germans are trying to completely defeat us within this year! Otherwise, they would not have launched such a large-scale attack!" Lieutenant General Krugrove said.

"With the strength of the Germans, they are fully capable of doing this. In addition, the German navy won the victory in the Atlantic Ocean, which gave the Germans more time. They can defeat us in a hurry. And The Americans can't provide us with any support at all." Major General Liapin said.

General Zhukov nodded, looking very helpless.

"We are not ready for this war after all! If it weren't for the instigation of the Americans, we should not have fought against Germany under the circumstances at that time. In that case, this result may have been avoided." General Zhukov said.

Although, General Zhukov also knows that even if Russia does not take the initiative to go to war with Germany, once Germany completes its preparations, it will not let Russia go. However, with one more day of preparation time, Russia's military strength will be stronger. This will give them a greater chance of winning in the war, and they will not be on the verge of subjugation as they are now.

Lieutenant General Krugrove and Major General Liappin said nothing. The war against Germany was the result of Joseph's willful will, and it was not something they could decide. However, now they have to bear the consequences.

"Report!" A communications officer appeared outside the door.

"What happened?" Major General Liappin asked.

"Josefgrad received a call. Volgasky has been occupied by the Germans. Josephgrad has already fallen into the siege of the Germans." The communications officer reported.

"Sure enough, the Germans attacked Moscow and Josephgrad at the same time. This is to eliminate all our main forces. If the Germans conquer Moscow and Josephgrad, they will wipe out the Russian army here. Plus Joseph If comrades also die tragically at their hands, Russia will be completely finished. The remaining strength will not be enough to fight against Germany!" General Zhukov said.

Obviously, the current situation is already very unfavorable for Russia. The whole of Russia is at stake.

"Order the ministries and stand firm. Even if we are destined to be wiped out by the Germans, we will never allow them to defeat us so easily. We must make the Germans pay a heavy enough price for this!" General Zhukov ordered road.

"Comrade Zhukov!" Lieutenant General Krugrov and Major General Liapin replied.

At this moment, a staff officer hurried in.

"Report, Comrade Zhukov. The front reports that the Germans have sent envoys to ask to see you!" the staff officer reported.

"German envoys? Are they here to persuade you to surrender?" A trace of contempt flashed across General Zhukov's face.

"Comrade Zhukov, do you want to refuse to see the German envoy?" Lieutenant General Krugrov asked.

"No, let's see! I want to see what kind of conspiracy the Germans can come up with!" General Zhukov shook his head.

An hour later, German envoys met General Zhukov at the Moscow Garrison Command.

"Your Excellency, General, I am here to see you on the order of Marshal Guderian." The German envoy didn't exchange greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Tell me, what did Marshal Guderian ask you to do?" General Zhukov asked expressionlessly, making it impossible to see his joy.

"Your Excellency, General, Moscow is now surrounded by our army. Our army has more than 7 million troops and has surrounded Moscow. The defenders in Moscow are now hard to fly. If you If you continue to resist, there is only one final result, and that is to be wiped out by us. His Majesty the Emperor believes that Your Excellency the General is a rare talent, and he cannot bear the death of a famous general like the General on the battlefield. Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency the General can lead Moscow The defenders surrendered to us. His Majesty the Emperor promised that after the war, His Excellency General will take up an important position in the new Russian government. The Russian army in Moscow will also be free." The German envoy said.

"Oh? The Kaiser actually valued me, which surprised me very much! Although we are enemies, we have to admit that His Majesty the Kaiser is indeed a majestic monarch. In his hands, Germany has been realized. However, unfortunately, as a general of the Russian army, I will never betray my motherland and bow to the enemy. If the German army wants to occupy Moscow, then launch an attack. Wait until you kill all the defenders of Moscow After that, you can occupy this place," General Zhukov said. He was unmoved by the conditions offered by Germany.

"Your Excellency, don't you think about it? Joseph has already fled Moscow. Moreover, in our bombing and hunting, he is already in danger. Your Excellency should also think about your own way out. Even if you can Don't care about life and death, should the millions of Russian soldiers and more civilians in Moscow also die for Moscow?" The German envoy continued the book.

General Zhukov shook his head, looking very determined: "There is no need to say any more. As Russian soldiers, we will never surrender. I thank His Majesty the Kaiser for his kindness. However, I am determined to fight to the end in Moscow! "
