Chapter 1624 Bring the Army Together
Pushing the door open, Cuikov walked outside. He didn't seem to see that Khrushchev, who was behind him, showed a mocking smile.
No matter what he did, Khrushchev calculated everything, and he was able to climb to where he is today because of his ability.
Cui Kefu walked outside and saw that there were only two guards standing guard at the door. When they saw Cui Kefu, the two guards immediately saluted, showing respect.
Cuikov returned the salute and strode out. At this time, there was no need to pretend to have a stomachache. He wanted to return to the middle of the army as quickly as possible.
When he left the house, Cuikov almost trotted over and stepped into his car in a few steps.
Because of the lack of fuel, when they could not drive, they almost all walked, but now, Cuikov had to be quick, and when Khrushchev didn't notice that he had left, he went back immediately.
"Quick, go to Nancheng District, the division headquarters of the group army." Cuikov said to his driver.
Since the Turks attacked from the south, Cuikov's main 62nd Army was distributed in the south.
"Understood." The driver said, turning the starter knob.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, an explosion sounded from under the car, and with the loud noise, a fireball rose from the lower part of the car, and instantly surrounded the entire car.
Cuikov didn't react at all. When the explosion sounded, he felt his body fly in all directions under the strong impact, and then he lost any consciousness.
The sound of the explosion made everyone in the conference room stunned for a moment. Rodimtsev walked to the window and saw the burning car outside. In an instant, his face became ugly.
"No, no, General Cuikov's car just exploded." A guard came in and shouted in a panic, "General Cuikov, unfortunately killed."
"To go to the toilet, you actually have to go to the car, as if we don't have a toilet here." Khrushchev looked at the people present: "Does anyone else want to go to the toilet?"
Khrushchev had already counted on it, and he arranged a bomb in advance, which was connected to the circuit of the car. At this time, the short and small Khrushchev looked at the people present with a quiver on his face.
So, no one dared to have any thoughts.
Most importantly, they all knew that there was really nowhere to go.
If they persist, they can only be buried with the Red Empire. It is worthless to walk. There is only one road left for them.
"Okay, let's go on to the following." Khrushchev said: "The current situation is clearly in front of us, and our best way is to surrender, so as to ensure the integrity of the entire city and ensure the integrity of the city. The safety of citizens and soldiers, we are not afraid of fighting, but we can no longer fight a war that is doomed to fail, no one can stop that madman, in front of the German army, we have only a dead end."
Khrushchev's eyes looked at the people present, and then he said firmly: "Whether to surrender to the Germans, I suggest that we raise our hands to vote."
Show-of-hand voting is the most direct method, far surpassing secret balloting, because it is immediately obvious who is in favor and who is against.
When Khrushchev finished speaking, he took the lead and raised his arms.
Then, he looked at the people present with majestic eyes, whoever dared not raise his hand, he was destined not to leave here alive, Khrushchev has been ruthless until now!
If Khrushchev left by himself and defected, it would not be difficult. After all, he is the supreme commander here. As long as he takes a Po-2 plane, he can take refuge in Germany.
However, that was not what Khrushchev was after. Since he had already decided to defect to the Soviets, he would have to give Germany a certificate.
There is of course a difference between surrendering alone and surrendering with an entire army. If he can bring the entire garrison over, then Khrushchev has made a great contribution, and even in the newly established government, Khrushchev can also occupy a place.
After all, if the Germans want to rule the land here, they still have to rely on the locals. Khrushchev has this confidence. At the same time, it would be even better if his army was transformed into a large Caucasian Liberation Army.
In the past, when the Soviet army surrendered, it was only after being surrounded and about to be wiped out that they were forced to surrender. They belonged to prisoners. Now, they are surrendering while firmly defending Stalingrad. It cannot be regarded as surrender in the strict sense, it is more appropriate to call it surrender!
Yes, they are loyal.
Khrushchev is ambitious. No matter when, he will do whatever it takes to climb up. To this end, no matter how many people sacrifice it, it will be worth it.
Now, Khrushchev took the lead in raising his hand, and immediately a few people raised their hands, and then, sparsely, the rest of the people raised their hands under Khrushchev's gaze.
They didn't dare not lift it up. Cuikov's death was outside, and now the car was still burning, and no one went to put it out, as if they were afraid that Cuikov inside wouldn't burn enough to die.
Khrushchev is too vicious.
"Okay, since everyone has agreed, then we will all sign this announcement and issue it to the entire army in the name of our Stalingrad High Command. Starting today, we will no longer be the Soviet Red Army, We are the rebel army." Khrushchev took out a document.
The people present gasped again. If they signed it, it was conceivable that they would never have the chance to go back on it. Even if they escaped to Stalin, they would be shot as traitors.
270 Military Regulations clearly stated that death in battle is a martyr, surrender is a traitor, even if you are captured while unconscious.
Now, their willingness to surrender will definitely not end well.
But can you regret it?
They all know that if you don't sign, you don't want to leave here alive. If you sign, maybe there will be a way to survive in the future. After all, under this situation, it seems that the Soviet Union will no longer be able to come back.
Khrushchev put his hand in his pocket, and there was a pistol there. If anyone didn't sign, Khrushchev wouldn't mind the blood on the spot.
Khrushchev issued the order alone, fearing that the people below would oppose it. Now, all the leaders of the army signed together, passed the resolution, and carried it forward. Naturally, there is little resistance.
Under Khrushchev's gaze, everyone came over and signed his name on it, although his hands were trembling, although the writing was crooked, although the sweat on his forehead wetted the announcement Yes, although...
