Chapter 1202

"I'm afraid your idea will only come to nothing." The Soviet officer, who was ordered to negotiate, lowered his head slightly, sighed, and then continued: "he has his insistence. We can only accept the fact that he has left in great pain... So we came here to represent the Soviet troops guarding Moscow, Discuss a cease-fire and surrender agreement with you and the surrounding German forces. "

Lundstedt, who had recovered from the news that Stalin had committed suicide, looked at the officers in front of him and asked, "Oh? Now that Stalin is dead, the General Commander in Moscow must be your Marshal Zhukov, right? Did he give the order to surrender? "

"Er... Marshal, in fact, all the troops in the city are now under the unified command of general konev... Because Marshal Zhukov has also followed Comrade Stalin's footsteps and left us forever." Although it was difficult to speak, the Soviet Union officers who came to negotiate reluctantly told another news to the German officials who were waiting across the table.

"..." all the German officials have a little impulse to curse. You said that you have been holding on to Moscow for such a long time, but you have not reduced our loss at all. How could you say that one after another you committed suicide and died for the country while we were watching the victory? Even if it is really not afraid of death, it is not so decisive to play, right?

Lundstedt suddenly had a feeling of being fooled by the other party. He sneered, then looked at several Soviet officers in front of him and said, "are you kidding us? When we were about to win an all-round victory, you told me that none of your senior commanders had killed themselves? "

"Yes, in fact... In fact... Marshal, not only Stalin, but also Zhukov, including a chief of general staff, three chief of general staff and more than ten senior officers of the front army, have all made their own decisions..." the leading Soviet officer had no choice but to speak with a stiff head, because everything he said was true, He is not allowed to change the slightest bit.

Once again, the whole meeting was quiet. Lundstedt didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not. Because if all this is true, the courage of the Soviet high-level at the end of the day really makes lundstedt admire. Not everyone in the world has the courage to end their lives. It is a miracle that there are so many high-level officials in the Soviet Union.

"So that's why you came to surrender, right?" In the end, it was the chief of staff of group a army who took the lead in breaking the short silence and asked the Soviet negotiators on the other side, "because the commanders who insisted on fighting are no longer here, so you choose to surrender to us?"

"Yes! Although we are reluctant to admit it, this is indeed one of the reasons for our surrender. " The Soviet officer nodded and answered the German chief of staff's question: "our commander konev issued an order not to allow officers and soldiers to commit suicide and die for their country, so we have no choice but to come here and convey our wish to surrender to you."

"God, this is a sad story." Lundstedt shook his head, sighed and said, "well, since you are now the plenipotentiary representative of the Soviet garrison, let's talk about the surrender conditions you want, what on earth?"

"Marshal! We want to surrender with dignity and get out of our city. After all, we fought bravely, so we should keep our honor "So I ask you to allow our officers to wear their own pistols. Soldiers can keep their belongings and leave Moscow from the prescribed direction. After rest, they will be dissolved on the spot and enjoy different treatment from prisoners of war," the Soviet representative told lundstedt

After a pause, he continued to say, "in addition, these soldiers and all officers will not be held responsible, nor will they be sent to concentration camps or POW camps... We are unarmed, we have no threat, these hundreds of thousands of people have nothing to do with your army..."

"Oh, please allow me to interrupt you." Lundstedt held out his hand to stop the other side's chatter. Then he looked into the other side's eyes with great interest, shook his head and said, "as the highest front commander of the German army, I dare not agree to any of these conditions you said!"

He stretched out his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and then slowly stretched out his first finger: "first, we have won the war. How to deal with the surrender prisoners in the encirclement is our freedom!"

Then he held out his second finger and continued: "second, the special order of the Fuehrer only allows you to surrender unconditionally. It is very clear in the warrant that the defeated country is not qualified to put forward conditions... Do you understand? "

After that, lundstedt's eyes swept over the Soviet officers in front of him. He was exercising the power of a winner, which made him feel very comfortable. The other side swallowed a mouthful of saliva, want to open the mouth to distinguish what, but in the end or endure not to open the mouth.
