"Your Excellency, I am very glad to see you again!" The German envoy stood in front of General Zhukov with a smile on his face. Not long ago, General Zhukov rejected Germany's request very clearly. But now, external conditions have undergone tremendous changes. The German envoy believed that General Zhukov's attitude would also undergo a great change. From the fact that General Zhukov is willing to see him, it seems to be able to feel it.
"Your Excellency, please sit down!" General Zhukov said expressionlessly.
"Your Excellency, General, you should have received the news, right? The Josephgrad Front Army of your army has surrendered to us. Now, Josephgrad is under our control. In the current war, only Moscow is left. Moreover, Your Excellency the General should also be clear that the current situation is already very unfavorable for Russia. It can be said that Russia has no hope. I hope that Your Excellency can make the right choice." The German envoy said.
There was a trace of sadness in General Zhukov's eyes. As the German envoy said, there is no hope for Russia now. This made General Zhukov very painful. However, this is impossible. No matter how hard he tried, he could not change the outcome of Russia.
"Your Excellency, the promise of the German Empire remains unchanged, as long as Your Excellency can lead the defenders in Moscow to surrender to us. Then, we will guarantee the safety of the defenders in Moscow. At the same time, Your Excellency will be in the future of the new Russian government. Among them, a position will also be obtained." The German special envoy said.
"Has your country already figured out how to deal with Russia?" General Zhukov smiled miserably.
"Your Excellency, this is not clear to me. However, I don't need to think about it. After the war, Russia will definitely be re-established. It's just that the Burundian Party will no longer continue to rule this country. The new Russia will be a democratic one." country." The German envoy said.
"Hmph! I'm afraid it is also a puppet under your control!" General Zhukov said coldly.
The German special envoy smiled and didn't say much. This is already very obvious. Germany defeated Russia and re-established a state on Russian soil. Then, Germany will naturally not shoot itself in the foot and support a country that is hostile to Germany. In that case, wouldn't all the efforts of Germany be in vain?
"Your Excellency, General, do you have any objections to our conditions?" the German special envoy said. He could feel that General Zhukov's attitude had changed significantly. This also means that his action this time is very likely to be successful. This is also a huge achievement for him.
"Your Excellency, I am willing to surrender to your army on behalf of the Moscow defenders. However, I hope that your army can guarantee that the safety of the Moscow defenders must be guaranteed. Moreover, your army cannot force them to perform hard labor. After the war is over , your country has to release these prisoners of war and return them to freedom!" General Zhukov said.
Regarding himself, General Zhukov did not make any demands.
"Your Excellency, there is no problem at all. On behalf of Marshal Guderian, I can agree to your terms." The German envoy said.
General Zhukov nodded. It is undoubtedly the best that the Germans can fully accept their conditions.
"So, Your Excellency General, when can your army surrender?" the German envoy asked. He agrees that he is afraid of long nights and dreams. If you can surrender as soon as possible, that is of course the best.
"Three days! Three days later, we will surrender to your army outside Moscow!" General Zhukov said.
"Okay, Your Excellency General. Then I will go back and report to Marshal Guderian." After the German envoy finished speaking, he got up and saluted General Zhukov, and then left.
"Comrade Commander, how is the situation?" As soon as the German envoy left, Lieutenant General Krugrov and Major General Liapin walked in.
"The Germans promise that after we surrender, we will ensure the safety of the soldiers and soldiers, and will not force them to serve hard labor. They will be released after the war and let them be free." General Zhukov said.
Hearing what General Zhukov said, Lieutenant General Krugrov and Major General Liapin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although, after the surrender they lost power. But no matter what, his life was saved. This is undoubtedly a very good result.
"Comrade Commander, when will we surrender to the Germans?" Major General Liapin asked.
"Three days later! Surrender to the Germans outside Moscow in three days."
"Comrade Commander, do we need to report to Chelyabinsk?" Lieutenant General Krugrov asked.
Russian government agencies and the General Staff have been successfully transferred to Chelyabinsk. It's just that those people were busy fighting for power after Joseph's death, and they didn't care about the frontline war at all.
"There is no need for this. Even if you tell them, they will not make any favorable decisions." General Zhukov shook his head.
Lieutenant General Krugrov and Major General Liapin nodded, and they did not plan to notify Chelyabinsk, so as not to cause complications.
In the next three days, the news that the Russian army would surrender to the German army spread throughout the defenders of Moscow. Although this caused dissatisfaction among some people who were loyal to Russia, the vast majority of them still supported the surrender to Germany. In order to avoid problems with the surrender ceremony, those who opposed the surrender were arrested and imprisoned. Wait until the surrender ceremony is over before releasing them.
On the morning of June 30, General Zhukov led the Russian defenders in Moscow and surrendered to the German army. Marshal Guderian, commander of the German Army Group B, accepted the surrender of the Moscow defenders on behalf of the German army.
When General Zhukov handed over the gun to Marshal Guderian, the Battle of Moscow came to an end. However, there were still sporadic gunshots in the city. Some people who were unwilling to surrender chose to fight stubbornly in the city of Moscow.
After the surrender ceremony was accepted, the Russian army entered the prisoner-of-war camps that the German army had prepared long ago in batches. However, on the second day after entering the prisoner-of-war camp. General Zhukov committed suicide. Before entering the POW camp, he carried a copy of the poison. At the end of the surrender ceremony and the life of the Russian army was guaranteed, he chose to end his life.
All along, Zhukov has been promoted by Joseph. It is understandable that Zhukov chose to end his life when Joseph committed suicide and Russia was about to perish.
