At a train station on the outskirts of Moscow, a tall man is standing next to another fat man with a somewhat fat body. Farther away, several soldiers with rifles were staring intently.

It was clear that the soldiers attached great importance to one of the two, but they were afraid of the other, or rather the figure behind the other, so they couldn't help but come closer.

"Thank you Comrade Khrushchev for me, and I will thank him if I have the opportunity."

The fat man who made a fortune was none other than Zhukov, who was positioned for treason a few days ago. Zhukov, who was originally convicted of treason, should have been shot directly, but because of Khrushchev's words, Zhukov's treatment was changed from shooting to exile.

After Zhukov heard the result of the unfair trial against him, he did not argue or beg for mercy, but denounced the corruption and corruption within the Soviet army, and spoke out with emotion, which left a deep impression on Khrushchev.

So, Khrushchev took over the work of reporting the events with Zhukov to Stalin, not for the sake of asking for credit, but for saving Zhukov.

That's right, Khrushchev wanted to pull Zhukov!

This may sound incredible, but in fact, Khrushchev has always admired Zhukov as a person. Moreover, the relationship between the two has never had any black spots.

In the original time and space, Khrushchev was the most unpopular in the Soviet Party and was about to be ousted from power at the critical moment when Zhukov ordered the Ministry of Defense to send the Central Committee members to Moscow by military aircraft, support Khrushchev through voting, and finally helped Khrushchev win.

It can be said that without Zhukov, Khrushchev would never have attained the status he did in history.

And all this is enough to show that the friendship established between Khrushchev and Zhukov during World War II was not an ordinary simple friendship.

Even in this lifetime, Khrushchev and Zhukov still had a pure revolutionary friendship.

Of course, Khrushchev would not be so stupid as to directly confront Stalin for the sake of Zhukov and provoke Pavlov, who was in full swing at that time.

It was only when he reported to Stalin alone that he used a clever way to get a slightly better ending for Zhukov.

Khrushchev was well aware that before that, of all the generals of the Soviet Union, Zhukov and Pavlov were the most favored by Stalin. When Stalin reused Zhukov, he simply appointed him as the commander of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army in Mongolia, so that Zhukov directly stepped into the ranks of the commander of the large corps, and the 1st Army of the Soviet Army in Mongolia also made many miraculous achievements under his command, and was called the "Flood Corps" by the Japanese.

The Battle of Nomenkan can almost be said to be the battle of Zhukov's fame, it can almost be said that he defeated the entire Japanese Kwantung Army command.

Khrushchev took advantage of this, recalling Stalin's exploits for Zhukov's exploits in the war against Japan, and then turning to the possible political and military implications of Zhukov's execution.

Once Zhukov, a hero of the war against Japan, was executed, the bad impact on the Soviet Union would be secondary, and if the Japanese Kwantung Army learned that their old rival Zhukov had been killed, so they restarted their mind of "advancing north" and attacked the Soviet Union on both sides with the Germans, then the matter would be serious.

Although it was to help Zhukov escape and save his life, Khrushchev completely analyzed the interests and disadvantages from the perspective of thinking about Stalin, and said that Stalin gave up the idea of shooting Zhukov.

It has to be said that Khrushchev still had some means.

In this way, he did not touch Stalin's moldy head in private, nor did he offend his sworn enemy, General Pavlov, for protecting Zhukov. Most crucially, he achieved his goal.

Stalin immediately decided to spare Zhukov's life, at least temporarily.

However, Stalin gave Zhukov a torturous order to go to Siberia to dig potatoes.

The ground is hard, and the shovel can't be shoveled, how can you dig potatoes......

However, Zhukov managed to save his life, and there is nothing to complain about such a request.

Isn't it just to exile him to Siberia to fend for himself? It's a big deal to die, rather than stay in Moscow and be framed, it's better to find a quiet place to live.

"Comrade Zhukov, please rest assured. Although you will be sent to Siberia in harsh conditions, we have already contacted the people there and they will not embarrass you. Moreover, food and accommodation will also provide you with security, so that you will not suffer more grievances. The man sent by Khrushchev comforted Zhukov intimately.

Although he is exiled, is he free of food and clothing? Zhukov secretly smiled bitterly, it seems that Khrushchev is still a loyal man.

"Tell Comrade Khrushchev for me......" Zhukov said here, paused, and found that everything he said seemed a little pale, and only after a long time did he slowly hold back a word: "Thank you." ”

"Okay, I'll get there." This cronie sent by Khrushchev was also the one who listened to Zhukov's generous speech. Both from his loyalty to Khrushchev and his admiration for Zhukov, he would have paraphrased everything Zhukov had said.

He looked at Zhukov, whose expression still couldn't hide his loss, swallowed his saliva, and said: "If possible, after a while, the limelight will pass, maybe the chief will find a way to get you back from Siberia." ”

The men did not call Khrushchev by his name, but called him the chief, only because there were still a few pairs of ears behind them to try to inquire about the contents.

Although the man used his position to make several of the soldiers who were guarding Zhukov take a lot of steps back and have this parting private conversation with Zhukov alone, he was not stupid enough to do it in the name of Khrushchev's cronies.

Even the document he just presented was just a fake document made through formal channels. In order not to reveal his true identity.

"No need, this limelight can't get by. As long as that pavlov moth is still in the upper echelons, I will never be able to turn over. Zhukov didn't expect too much to come back, he just lowered his voice faintly: "Tell Khrushchev for me, do me one last favor, don't let Pavlov continue to plague our army." Go to Konev, his military literacy is no lower than mine, and he should be able to come up with the right military tactics. ”

"In this way, maybe it won't be too ugly to fail." Zhukov, who once served in the General Staff, really couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Perhaps, sooner or later, we will win against Germany." The Khrushchev cronie encouraged himself.

"Sooner or later, we will win against Germany...... This sentence is so good, how about it engraved on our tombstones? Zhukov told a sneer in his already hoarse voice.
