743 Zhukov's roar
"I'm not willing to ......!" Zhukov stared at the document in his hand, sitting in the chair, his hand holding the document trembled a little, raised his head, and looked at Khrushchev standing in front of him with eyes full of incredulity. The fastest update The other party just shook his head, saying that he didn't know the reason either.
"Damn it!" Suddenly, Zhukov slammed his fist on the table, his face turned pale: "Is this the end of my Zhukov?" This is a pure general, the final ending?! ”
"Comrade Zhukov, I also know that you can't accept this charge for a while." Khrushchev, who had read the contents of the document in advance and knew that Zhukov had been convicted of treason and collaboration with the enemy, said with a wry smile: "But since this is already an established fact, you should accept it first." ”
Khrushchev was not a pure military strategist, and with his political wisdom, how could he not see that Zhukov was framed. Even, now he can even see clearly who is making trouble behind his back.
It's just that Khrushchev didn't dare to say it. In case he is kind enough to stand up for Zhukov now, and someone will involve him in the future, then who will stand up for himself?
Seeing Khrushchev's performance, Zhukov also knew that he couldn't count on the other party.
He got up from his chair, silently unbuttoned his military shirt and took off his military uniform, then took off his military hat and threw it on the table along with his military uniform, and just said lightly: "Since this country and this army are so loyal and traitorous, this military membership and position should not be desired." I, Zhukov, quit! ”
As soon as Zhukov spoke, he was shocked, and the whole office was silent for more than a minute, Khrushchev was fine, and a political commissar next to him thought that Zhukov's nerves were a little abnormal, and he was talking nonsense, he had never seen such a person who did not know the times.
The commissar pointed his finger at Zhukov and trembled with anger: "Zhukov, what did you say?" Do you dare to say it again? ”
Zhukov glanced at it coldly and said calmly: "Okay, I'll say it again, everyone, listen up, I, Zhukov, participated in the revolution in 1919, and since then, I have not thought about becoming an official in the future." I've come all the way to this day, and I've never tried to please anyone, nor have I done anything bad for the sake of promotion. ”
When he said this, he was a little excited, and almost gritted his teeth and continued: "If this war that I have devoted my whole life to is not in line with my original intention, then what is the meaning of this military membership and position? Comrades, today may be the last time I will speak at such a high-level meeting, and I am afraid that I will not have such an opportunity in the future. ”
The whole office was silent, and Khrushchev, who had the highest status here except for Zhukov, took the lead and nodded, which was regarded as agreeing to Zhukov's request.
After Khrushchev's acquiescence, Zhukov said awe-inspiringly: "Comrades, lately I have often lost sleep, and I am not unaware of what Pavlov is doing behind his back. However, I didn't pursue it. Because I know that I am a soldier, and my duty is to do my duty to defend my country. Especially recently, I have often thought about the relationship between our comrades-in-arms in our army during the October Revolution. At that time, you didn't have to worry about getting hurt at all, because your comrades would never leave you. I, Zhukov, have survived to this day because more than one comrade-in-arms once blocked bullets for me, and they sacrificed, but I survived. ”
"In the battle of Tsaritsyn, I was wounded in my left leg and left rib. During the battle at the Japnaya train station, I was severely injured and was once unconscious. ”
"But I survived. I think maybe it's because the motherland needs me and needs my strength. Even for the sake of those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, I have never slackened for a moment! Ask yourself, these days, I've put my heart and soul on the front line every day. ”
"Comrades, this is what we Soviet soldiers should be, this is the fine tradition that we should have. I dare to say that if it had been placed 20 years ago, our combat effectiveness, our soldiers, would definitely not be worse than what the German ** people did! ”
"But now, what the hell is wrong with our army? Strike and frame, fall into the ground, it's too dangerous, it will ruin our army, and even ruin the entire USSR. Comrades, everyone should think about what I, Zhukov, did, and what point of it can be considered a traitor? ”
"What is Pavlov? What is he Stalin! They have no idea what the front line has rotted into! Zhukov said this, his emotions were even more agitated, and he said almost at the highest volume: "You want me to attack? What am I going to attack! Take human lives to fill in! Do I have to mobilize tens of thousands of men to go to the German line to hit their heads and break the bloodstream, and then pretend to have carried out the order as best I can, and report back that I have been ordered to attack. ”
After Zhukov said so much in one breath, he finally calmed down a little: "How many commanders are doing these things, do they think I don't know?" Do you think that I really can't do this kind of dirty and despicable means? ”
"Nope! I won't do it! Zhukov showed a smile that was more ugly than crying and looked at Khrushchev: "In a hundred years, a line will be engraved on my tombstone." During Zhukov's years in office, you will not find a single document of the criminal order signed by his hand. Go flip it! You will never find such a document signed by Zhukov! ”
Khrushchev, the political commissar and several staff officers standing on the side quickly exchanged glances, and then sighed and said: "Zhukov, after you have made such a speech, I'm afraid no one will be able to save you." ”
Zhukov's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, turned around and walked away without looking back...... Everyone present, including Khrushchev, was stunned by Zhukov's tough move.
Everyone knew that Zhukov was finished.
However, not a single one gloated.
Looking at Zhukov's distant figure, Khrushchev suddenly felt very disgusted with the general named Pavlov, compared to Zhukov, that person was not worthy of being called a soldier at all.
"Don't talk about today's events!" After a long time, Khrushchev said in a deep voice to several of his cronies behind him: "I will personally report to Comrade Stalin." ”
"Yes......" Several of Khrushchev's cronies and staff officers and the political commissar were stunned, and then agreed.
What happened today was completely beyond their expectations. Zhukov's toughness still touches everyone's hearts until now. For the first time, these people seemed to have seen what a real military strategist should look like.
It is also appropriate for Khrushchev to report such a thing, after all, Khrushchev is also a celebrity around Stalin and knows how to report it best.
