Pavlov's car drove through the busiest streets of Moscow in the past, and there was no street scene worth seeing on either side, only ruins remained, and in some places simply became rubble, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and even the Red officers and soldiers who defended the city did not see a few, probably hiding in the bomb shelters all over Moscow, right? Without these bomb shelters, the three nuclear bombs dropped by the Germans would have killed at least 1 million people! And now, the casualties reported by the Moscow Front and the Moscow City Committee are only more than 500,000, and they are mainly civilians, and the Red Army and party members and cadres have been well preserved.

As for the damage to property, it doesn't matter anymore, in fact there is no need for the Germans to drop expensive nuclear bombs, the Soviet people are ready to destroy their capital, because the upper echelons of the Soviet GCD already know the full content of the Berlin Peace Conference, and know that after the war the Russian nation will be forced to leave their ancestral lands and live in distant Africa, South Asia and Timor, a small island near Australia. The city of Moscow and the wealth of the present Soviet land will be the spoils of war for the enemy, so it is better to destroy them as much as possible.

There was a slight smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, which wafted from the east, south and west battlefields of the city, and the Chinese and German ** teams were still attacking, and the desperate resistance of the Red Army did not stop, probably because the encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, and it was inevitable that accidental damage would occur if nuclear bombs were used, so the Chinese and German armies were now fighting a traditional siege war, mobilizing tens of thousands of artillery pieces to bombard day and night, and also dispatched planes to drop hundreds of tons of bombs on the Soviet positions.

But for such an attack. The Red Army was quite happy to see it, after all, in such a positional warfare mode, it wanted to seize a trench. It was necessary to use thousands of infantry to launch a charge with the support of tanks and artillery, and a considerable part of them would inevitably be killed by the shells and bullets of the Red Army. Moreover, with the narrowing of the Great Encirclement of Moscow, the Red Army's defensive line became tighter and stronger, and the communications problems that had plagued the Red Army in the past were partially solved by the contraction of the battle front.

The car drove through the city center towards the Lenin International Conference Center on the banks of the Moscow River. The headquarters of the Moscow Front was located in the bunker below the Lenin International Conference Center, which began construction in 1930. It was completed in 1932 as a tribute to the 15th anniversary of the October Revolution. Preparations were also made for the convening of the Supreme Soviet of the World after the victory of the world revolution. But now the building of the convention center has been destroyed by nuclear bombs, and only the bunker buried deep underground remains. The bunker is also the largest of all the bunkers in Moscow and is based on the three-story basement of the former Lenin International Conference Center. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The original plan was for Trotsky. In the end, however, Trotsky chose the Kremlin bunker as his burial place, so it belonged to Yakir and Ubolevich.

Pavlov's sedan drove directly into the bunker through a car-friendly entrance, and when the car stopped, he suddenly heard a burst of music, not a rousing Internationale, but a waltz!

"What's going on? Who's listening to music? Pavlov frowned and asked a Red Army lieutenant who had come to open the door for him.

"Report to the general, comrade, it is Commander Yakir who is holding a birthday party."

"Raw...... Birthday pie duì?! Pavlov was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. It seems that Yakil's birthday is August 15th, which is today.

"When is it? And in the mood for a birthday! Pavlov muttered, and went straight into the passage that led to the third basement floor, and in the bunker's dining room, Pavlov met Yakir who was having a birthday party, and the Red Army general was already drunk and dancing there with a blonde girl in his arms.

"Comrade Pavlov, you are welcome to the ball! Hahaha...... Let me introduce you to you, this is Comrade Kalashnikova, my secretary, isn't it beautiful? ”

The music had stopped, and several of the officers who had not yet drunk let go of their dance partners, looking at Pavlov who had suddenly arrived, everyone had a look of embarrassment on their faces, and a few officers wanted to leave quietly. Pavlov glanced at everyone and said sharply, "What are you doing here?" Is there no job left? This is the headquarters of the Moscow Front, not a ballroom brothel! ”

Most of the officers bowed their heads in shame, but Yakir had an indifferent expression, burped, and said with a smile: "Comrade Pavlov, this is not my headquarters, but my grave!" It's the grave of all of us! He staggered up to Pavlov, put his arms around his shoulders, and exclaimed, "Now is the time to have fun, so that you will not lose money when you die, don't you?" ”

Before his shouting could fall, the officers, the female secretaries and the female nurses who danced with him had dispersed under Pavlov's cold gaze, and no one dared to stay in the dining room. A wry smile slipped across the corners of Pavlov's mouth, Yaquir's drunken words were also true, the whole thing was really a tomb, it was Trotsky's tomb, he could have escaped justifiably, but Yakir they could only be buried here with Trotsky. But what can you do when you get to the north? It's just a vast tomb. Although the north of Russia is very large, the climate is really not suitable for human life, and how long can hundreds of thousands of people survive without food imported from the south?

"Comrade Yakir," Pavlov helped Yakir to the side of the chair, poured another cold water to sober him up, and saw that the other party's brows were twisted after drinking the water, and then he exhaled and said: "How is the situation at the front?" ”

"The situation on the front line was not very good, the Chinese and Germans sent tanks and planes to cover the infantry onslaught, and the southern, western and eastern fronts were in a hurry, and the casualties of the troops were also very serious. Fortunately, we have enough people to hold on for a while. ”

"How long can we stay?"

Yakir shook his head lightly: "I don't know, the key depends on morale, you know, our Russian ** team is like this, no one is afraid when morale is high, in that case, it is not certain to hold on until winter." If morale is low, it will collapse without a fight, as it did in 1917......"

Pavlov nodded, he knew that what the other party said was the truth, and now there was an atmosphere of despair and pessimism in the troops, if the GCD was overthrown, Russia could be saved, even if it was to cut off most of the country, I am afraid that there would be a mutiny. But now the entire Russian nation has been driven to a desperate point by China and Germany, so the Moscow Front can continue to hold out. He lowered his voice and said: "Comrade Trotsky wants me to convey a message to you, as soon as the enemy reaches within 3 kilometers of the Kremlin bunker, Comrade Trotsky must be informed of the situation immediately. ”

"Okay, got it......" Yakil was stunned as he spoke, he looked at Pavlov and said: "Comrade Pavlov, Comrade Trotsky is going to ......"

"Maybe it's suicide!" Pavlov said bitterly: "He does not want to leave Moscow, it seems that he has already decided to become a martyr." ”

Yakir was silent for a long time and sighed, "This is probably the best way out." He shrugged with a wry smile: "What else else?" Do you continue the struggle against imperialism in court? ”

"There will be no court trial." Pavlov said: "Britain and the United States want to set up a war criminals tribunal, but neither China nor Germany is interested...... They themselves are the real war criminals, how can they have the face to interrogate others? ”

Pavlov paused for a moment, then continued: "Trotsky also asked me to take charge of the Northern Front with Comrade Vatsettis...... If there is a chance to break through, go north of Moscow, where there are still our troops. ”

Yakil nodded and did not speak, and Pavlov added: "In case you don't have this opportunity, don't fall into the hands of the Germans, there is news that the GCD people who fell into their hands have been killed!" ”

The meaning of this statement is probably to ask Yaquil to surrender to the Chinese, which is a way to save his life, and maybe he can go to Yellow Russia to get an official and a half-post. Yakir took another sip of cold water to further sober his mind, and sighed: "It seems that this is the only way, Comrade Pavlov, when will you leave?" Flying or breakout? ”

"Take a plane, leave tonight, and fly straight to Scott Rome."

"Okay, I'll see you off at the airport then." Yakir stood up, shook Pavlov's hand, and prepared to see him off. At this time, I saw an officer hurriedly running in, and when he saw Yakil, he gave a military salute and reported loudly: "Comrade commander, something is wrong, something is wrong!" Comrade Egorov, commander-in-chief of the Western Front, reported that the German detachment had broken through the line of defense between Songtsevo and Bakovka, and their armored units had broken through to the vicinity of Moscow University! ”

"What!" Yakir and Pavlov roared at the same time: "How is it possible? How did you break through to Moscow State University so quickly? ”

Pavlov asked: "Who is defending Songtsevo and Bakovka?" ”

"It's Comrade Vlasov's 2nd Army!" Yakir gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "How did this Vlasov fight?" His 2nd Army had only been up for two days, so why couldn't it withstand it? He yelled at the officer: "Order the commissar of the 2nd Army to arrest Vlasov and bring him to me immediately!" (To be continued......)
