Imperial Overlord

No matter which direction Japan chooses to attack, some people are doomed. The news of Khrushchev's death was first known to the last resistance force of Moscow standing at the bend of the river.

Konev was in his own position, and many people could no longer recognize him. He was the general who once stood on the wall of the Kremlin and reviewed the troops defending Moscow.

His end is already in these days. Because basically the ammunition has been exhausted, and the troops have lost most of them.

Khrushchev died, and Konev, who was promoted to marshal, could not continue to live. He could only choose the path that Stalin chose for him, and chose to use death to preserve the last dignity for the honor of the Soviet marshal.

The ending of the Soviet marshal is really embarrassing, because Tukhachevsky died in the purge, Timoshenko, Froshilov... Now including Konev, who has just been promoted to marshal, must Died on the front line.

The short-lived Soviet may be destroyed, and the soldiers of the Soviet have to use their own deaths to accompany this destruction.

"Put away the map and burn it, we don't need it anymore." Konev said in a hoarse voice after a long silence.

His voice was almost like a saw, and it was like a rubbing sound that made his captain of the guard feel bitter.

In this basement, Marshal Konev tried his best to keep Moscow alive. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second, battles take place here, and every battle decides the life and death of many people.

Konev personally directed many such battles, and was even wounded in one defense. The German sniper shot him on the helmet, but because the angle was too biased, it didn't penetrate the helmet.

The steel helmet with a bright scar from the bullet still hangs on the wall beside Konev. There also hangs his admiral's uniform, and the telescope he always uses.

As a Soviet marshal, Konev was probably one of the most pitiful marshals in the world. He was hastily promoted to the marshal of the Soviet Union, but he didn't even change his collar and uniform.

Because when he was promoted, the battlefield situation was already one-sided. There is really no one in the city to make him a marshal's uniform, and there is no way to send him such a uniform from other places.

Therefore, he can only wear the military uniform of the admiral pitifully and enjoy the treatment of the marshal!

Fate is really unfair to him, because he fought hard for the Soviet Union until the last moment, but he couldn't even control his own destiny, even if it was an ending, he had no choice.

The poor man could only sit there, waiting for his last moments to come. Watching the soldiers tore the Moscow city maps from before him, watching the staff burn them down.

"The positions outside have almost fallen?" Konev asked hoarsely until the smell of burning filled the air.

"Yes! Comrade Marshal! We don't have many positions left..." With a hint of regret, the staff officer said to Konev with a gray face.

In fact, they could vaguely hear the sound of gunfire outside in the basement: maybe the enemy had already hit the outside of the building.

The German army has indeed hit the outside of this building. They are only 100 meters away from here, and this is the last "fortress" of organized resistance in the city of Moscow.

Smiling at his chief of staff, Konev finally continued: "You don't have to accompany me to die here, I order you to lay down your weapons and surrender!"

"Comrade Marshal!..." The chief of staff cried out with a sad face, but was interrupted by Konev's wave: "Obey the order!"

These officers were brought out by him and worked together for several months. He really didn't want to look at these familiar faces, buried here for such a desperate war.

The fact that the Germans allowed the defenders in the city of Moscow to surrender with dignity, even if they were reluctant to admit it, had been proven time and time again.

The grassroots officers and soldiers are not allowed to inquire about this kind of thing, but the senior officers have already heard about it. Surrender will not be abused, which is already a very good choice.

"I will send a telegram to explain that this is my last order... So you all obeyed the order and chose to surrender, and your family should not be affected..." Konev smiled bitterly and stood up: "This is the last thing I can do. It's for everyone, don't hold back."

He walked to the radio station outside the door and said, "Send this telegram, and everything here will end."

At this time yesterday, he had written this telegram thanking Comrade Stalin for his promotion and stating the fact that he had ordered the surrender of the remaining troops.

"Comrade Marshal!" Seeing the content of the telegram, the electromechanical operator's eyes turned red, and he shouted hoarsely.

They haven't drank water for a day, so their throats are a little hoarse. There's some petrol and diesel in the corner, that's for the two generators here.

There are also some weapons and ammunition, which are almost exhausted. The water is not unprepared, but it has been drunk.

"Send it!" After saying this, Konev walked to his office. At the end of the end, he didn't even explain his last words.

"Stand at attention!" There were guards~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and officers in the basement. Documents were scattered all over the floor, and many people were still burning something. In the chaos, someone shouted loudly: "Salute!"

Everyone put down their work, raised their chins and faced Konev's figure, stood at attention and gave a solemn military salute.

Konev didn't look back, just waved his hand and walked into his office. Then, from his desk, he picked up his own pocket pistol, which he had been wiping and fiddling with these days.

A marshal should have a decent way of dying as a marshal. Suicide is a kind of atonement and relief for a defeated marshal.

For Konev, this moment was also a real relief. Since the Battle of Moscow, this war has been a torment for him.

"!" In the room, a gunshot rang out. In the city of Moscow, the last building held by the resisters was occupied by the Germans, and the Battle of Moscow officially ended.

Also on this day, the Battle of Kursk officially entered the decisive stage, and the German 3rd Panzer Division headed against the Soviet 6th Guards Tank Division.
