Burning Moscow

After Klebs introduced the cause of Hitler's death, I continued to ask: "General Klebs, I want to know where you came here today."

"I hope the two sides can cease the war for one day." Klebstett emphasized: "Just like the road I came, the two sides stop all hostilities."

"I want to ask, what is the purpose of your armistice day?" Cui Kefu interjected.

Klebs respectfully replied: "The cessation of hostile military actions by the two sides is to facilitate the formation of a new government with Dunnitz as the head of state. After the establishment of this new government, we will discuss with you the future development of the settlement of the war. problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, I immediately asked: "Will the new government surrender to us unconditionally?"

My words made Krebs’s face an awkward expression. He hesitated for a long time before he hesitated and said: “Actually, to stop the hostilities between the two sides, we don’t necessarily have to surrender. We can take some form of cooperation to improve our relationship."

"General Krebs," I heard this, and immediately interrupted him without hesitation, and said in a strong tone: "As long as it is not a negotiation with the ultimate goal of unconditional surrender, we will not accept it. As for you. The mentioned ceasefire is even worse. Let alone one day, even one hour is impossible. Our troops from several directions will continue to attack the Capitol until they are captured."

When Krebs heard me say this, his face suddenly turned pale. He pleaded with me: "Your Excellency General, I wonder if you can convey my opinion to Marshal Zhukov, or your supreme commander?"

"General Klebs," Cuikov said categorically, "Even if we report, we get the same answer. We can only negotiate the issue of Germany's total surrender to the anti-Hitler alliance, which includes the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United States. Britain, on this issue, our views are completely unanimous."

Trikov's words caused the muscles on Krebs's face to twitch violently, and the scar on his cheek turned pink. It can be seen that he used the greatest perseverance to restore himself from panic. After taking a deep breath, he cautiously said: "We think the Soviet Union will consider this legal new German government. This is suitable for both parties. Advantageous. If you occupy Berlin and wipe us all out, then there will be no possibility for the Germans to cooperate with you and..."

I didn’t wait for him to finish, so I interrupted him unceremoniously: "General Klebs, I want to tell you one thing, we are here not to wipe out all the Germans, but to They were liberated from the fascists. The Germans, the honest Germans, have already begun to cooperate with us. By doing this, they can avoid unnecessary bloodshed."

After Krebs waited for me to finish speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then cautiously continued: "Your Excellency, before the total surrender, we ask you to recognize the new German government, get in touch with it, and provide contacts with your government. Opportunity, this is only good for you."

Regardless of what Klebs said, I always adhere to a single principle: the Germans must immediately lay down their weapons and unconditionally surrender to our army.

Seeing my resolute attitude, Krebs changed his strategy. After considering it, he defended his proposal. He still insisted on a temporary truce; "We can’t agree to your terms. You know, I’m just a Negotiator, because I have not been authorized to negotiate for surrender. I think it is beneficial for you to negotiate with the new German government. We know that the German government is over!” At this point, he smiled bitterly, “It’s undeniable. Your power is very powerful. Not only do you think so, but we also think so."

Seeing that Krebs has been letting us admit that their new government is entangled, I said impatiently: "You should know, Your Excellency. I know what you plan to get from us. You plan to warn us if we If you do not recognize the new German government, you will continue to fight. To be precise, it is an unintentional resistance, but this can only increase unnecessary sacrifice. I want to ask you directly, what else is your resistance? What's the meaning?"

Krebs looked at me in silence for a few seconds, not knowing what to say, and then said: "Your Excellency, in order to defend our motherland, our officers and soldiers will fight until the last person."

Seeing this moment, Krebs still felt that I was negotiating with us and I couldn't help but laugh. I said, "General, what else do you have? Wink's troops have been defeated by us, what more can you use to fight?" After a short pause, I added: "Only by unconditional surrender, will you be the last to come out? , We are waiting for your complete surrender."

"No!" Klebs yelled immediately when he heard me say that. Then he sighed and said to me: "Your Excellency, when we completely surrender, we legally will no longer exist as a government."

The next negotiation made people feel more and more bored. I understand very well in my heart that Krebs’ task is to persuade us to recognize his so-called new government. But without the consent of Goebbels and Bowerman, it is impossible for him to negotiate surrender with us. This is one point he has always insisted on.

In his conversations and all actions, I found that he was full of disappointment at this failed negotiation. He still didn't take the initiative to leave, as if waiting for me to continue to say something. Even his heart hopes that we can detain him and his subordinates so that they don't have to appear on the battlefield again.

Seeing Klebs staying with us, my heart felt very uncomfortable, so I thought to drive the other party away: "Klebs, your army is surrendering, but you are still here and we want to recognize the new Of the German government, and arguing."

My words shook Krebs' body suddenly, and then he asked in surprise: "Where? Where did our army surrender to you?"

"It's everywhere!" I emphasized to Krebs: "Except for the Parliament Building and the nearby buildings that are still controlled by the Germans, the German officers and soldiers in other places put down their weapons after the exchange of fire with us. We surrendered."

"General Krebs, I want to tell you one more thing." Trikoff interrupted and said: "Himmler has ordered the Germans on the Western Front to surrender to the British and American Allies, opening the way to Berlin for them. And what about you? , But still stupidly resisting."

Krebs was obviously very distressed. He lowered his head and murmured: "No one authorized Himmler to make peace with the British and American troops alone. I am worried that he opened the way to the Allied forces because he did not know that the head of state had committed suicide.

"However, Himmler has designated a place for separate negotiations with our allies through the radio station. Don't you know about this?"

Krebs shook his head vigorously and said: "Our contact with the outside world was interrupted a few days ago. Himmler's behavior should be a partial measure taken by him out of other considerations." He was silent. After a while, he added: "If we surrender completely, we will no longer be able to elect our new government."

Originally, I wanted to send Klebs away, but Cuikov quietly told me that Marshal Zhukov was in contact with the Supreme Command. We must wait for a reply before letting Klebs leave.

Cui Koff may be on a whim, and suddenly said: "If you can put a phone line in your bunker, then we can talk to Goebbels directly."

"It's great, it's really great." Klebston was refreshed when he heard Cui Koff say this: "If you allow me, I can send my adjutant and your correspondent to the bunker. Go, pull up a phone line, then you can talk to Dr. Goebbels directly."

I personally called Zhukov and agreed with Klebs that we install a telephone line in Hitler’s bunker so that Klebs could talk to Goebbels directly. After getting Zhukov's permission, the chief of staff of the group army selected two communicators and followed the German colonel and translator to Hitler's bunker.

When the sky was getting darker, Military Commissioner Major General Pronin, First Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Dukhanov, Operations Director Colonel Torkonyuk, Intelligence Director Colonel Gladki, Deputy Director Madusov The lieutenant colonel, together with the translator, Captain Kleber, came to our negotiation room.

Trikov raised his hand to look at his watch and smiled and said to Krebs, "General Krebs, I wonder if you would like to have dinner with us?"

Hearing what Cui Koff said~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Krebs quickly got up from his seat, bowed slightly, and politely replied, "General Cui Koff, it is my honor to have dinner with you!"

We went to the next room together, where the head of the group army had a meal. After we sat down, soldiers brought us hot tea, bread, sausage and vegetable soup. Facing the food in front of him, Krebs did not refuse, but ate it like us. But I accidentally discovered that his hands were shaking slightly when he picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Although our negotiations have reached a deadlock, Cui Koff left the room from time to time, went outside to take care of the work of the headquarters, and informed the troops: First, the artillery troops were prepared to continue the attack; the scouts monitored the enemy and the enemy's reserve team. And the supply situation; the units replenished ammunition and fuel; the engineers built and strengthened the various ferry crossings on the canal.

The commanders at all levels of the group army have been clearly notified that although the negotiations are progressing normally, the units should still be ready for offensive and start a storm as soon as they receive an order. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
