"Comrade Commander, Comrade Korobkov wants to see you!"
"Comrade Korobkov? Let him come in!" General Timoshenko said.
Now, the Russian troops in Smolensk's urban area are mainly 4th Army Corps and 10th Army Corps. The other group armies no longer have many troops left, and they can be regarded as existing in name only.
This is also the reason why General Timoshenko just spoke out to protect Major General Korobkov. Otherwise, if Major General Korobkov is taken away by those political workers, it is very likely to cause a backlash from the remaining troops of 4th Army Corps. By then, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble.
Soon, Major General Korobkov entered General Timoshenko's office.
"Comrade Commander, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I might have been arrested by those guys." Major General Korobkov looked grateful. Now that it was ringing, he was still a little frightened.
"Comrade Korobkov, the current war situation is very unfavorable to us. Under such circumstances, we especially need to work together. If internal strife breaks out, we will only end up in chaos. In the end, it will be the Germany people who take advantage!" General Timoshenko said.
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Major General Korobkov nodded.
"However, Comrade Commander, those guys don't know anything about military affairs or combat command. But they have gained great power. Even the life and death of us military officers are under their control. This is really unfair to us!" Major General Korobkov looked resentful. Obviously, what happened just now made him very unwilling.
General Timoshenko can understand Major General Korobkov's thoughts. In fact, many Russian generals also have such thoughts. It's just that they dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Joseph Through Great Purge, he got rid of many generals who were unwilling to obey his orders, and the remaining people could only obey his orders. The political worker system is a powerful weapon used by Joseph to control the army. Relying on these political workers, Joseph can firmly control the army in his hands. Anyone who dares to oppose in this regard will be crushed by Joseph.
"Comrade Korobkov, the political system is set by Comrade Joseph, and no one can question it. In this case, I will pretend that I didn't hear it. If there are such rumors again, don't blame me for being rude." General Timoshenko said with a straight face.
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Major General Korobkov said quickly. However, he wasn't really afraid. Because if General Timoshenko really wanted to deal with him, he would have been arrested long ago.
"Comrade Commander, I heard that Moscow has reorganized Western Front. All group armies lost on the front line have begun to be rebuilt. The new Western Front, will be composed of more than twenty army groups with a total strength of more than three million people. Marshal Voroshilov will personally serve as Commander of Western Front." Major General Korobkov said.
Suddenly, General Timoshenko's face couldn't help but become very ugly. This is also his problem. It made him feel as if he was an abandoned child.
"Comrade Korobkov, where did you get the news?" General Timoshenko asked.
"I have a fellow countryman who works at General Staff Headquarters."
General Timoshenko nodded and said nothing more. Although Buru the military has been keeping this news secret. But it's not a secret to those with the connections. They all almost knew the news. It is precisely because of this that many generals in Western Front now have doubts about the future. This is also the reason why the fighting spirit of the army continues to decline.
"Comrade Commander, we are obviously abandoned children. I am not willing to accept it! I am very unwilling! We fight bravely on the front line for the country and the people! We fight against the Germany people. However, Comrade Joseph treats us like this. I cannot accept such a result!" Major General Korobkov said with red eyes.
General Timoshenko said nothing and watched Major General Korobkov's performance coldly. Although, he deeply agrees with many of what Major General Korobkov said. However, he didn't know if this was a conspiracy. If it was a conspiracy set up by those political workers and he rashly went along with it, he would be in big trouble. Even though he was the commander of Western Front, those political workers dared to arrest him. Therefore, General Timoshenko will not express his position easily. He must be responsible for his own safety.
Major General Korobkov seems to understand General Timoshenko's concerns.
"Comrade Commander, now the Germany people's offensive is very fierce. Judging from the Germany people's offensive, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for a few days. We must think of other ways. Otherwise, we will all be dead." Major General Korobkov said.
"Comrade Korobkov, what do you want to do?" General Timoshenko asked.
"Comrade Commander, I am not willing to be killed in the battle like this, so I hope that we can surrender to the Germany people! Only in this way can we survive!" Major General Korobkov said.
"Surrender? Surrender to the Germany people? How is this possible? We are all soldiers loyal to the party and the country, how can we surrender to the Germany people?" General Timoshenko flatly refused.
"Comrade Commander, since the party and the country have abandoned us, why should we continue to be loyal? Besides, we have suffered heavy losses in this war. Germany people are so strong, Can Buru really resist the attack of the Germany people? I don't believe it! Even if we persist until the end, we will definitely be dead. However, we may not see such a result." Major General Korobkov's face was full of despair.
The expression on General Timoshenko's face is constantly changing. He could feel that Major General Korobkov was really desperate for Bolshevik Party and Buru. That's why I have such an idea.
And General Timoshenko also has the same idea. After learning that Moscow had reorganized Western Front, and Marshal Voroshilov served as the commander of the newly formed Western Front, General Timoshenko knew that he had been abandoned. This made him very angry, frustrated and unwilling. And Major General Korobkov's attitude seemed to give him a glimmer of hope.
