General Timoshenko Several thoughts swirled in his mind. He could tell that Major General Korobkov really wanted to surrender. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for him.
"Comrade Korobkov, if those political workers know your thoughts, they will definitely arrest you and shoot you without trial!" General Timoshenko said.
"If we continue to fight against the Germany people, it will be a dead end. Anyway, we will die, so we might as well win. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope. Besides, I will not sit still and wait for death." Major General Korobkov said.
General Timoshenko nodded, he knew that Korobkov was determined to surrender to the Germany people.
"If Major General Golubev can participate in it, then this matter will be feasible." General Timoshenko said.
Major General Golubev is the Commander of Russian 10th Army Corps. 10th Army Corps is a powerful group army, with more troops than 4th Army Corps. It has the 1st and 5th Infantry Corps, the 6th and 13th Mechanized Corps, 6th Cavalry Corps, and 155th Infantry Division. Although in the previous battle, 10th Army Corps also suffered heavy losses. However, the remaining strength is among the Russian troops of Smolensk, which can be regarded as the largest army group.
Major General Korobkov was stunned at first, and then he was delighted. He could already hear what General Timoshenko meant from his words. That is General Timoshenko seems to have agreed with him. This is undoubtedly a good thing for him. With the support of General Timoshenko, many things will be much easier.
"Comrade Commander, Comrade Golubev, I'm afraid it will take the commander to persuade me. I think that now that the matter is over, Comrade Golubev will definitely make the right choice!" Major General Korobkov said.
General Timoshenko thought for a while, then nodded.
"Comrade Commander, I will immediately organize a team of confidants when I get back. As long as you give the order, I will arrest those guys!" Major General Korobkov said excitedly.
"Okay, I'll summon Comrade Golubev right away." General Timoshenko said.
After Major General Korobkov left, General Timoshenko immediately asked his secretary to call Major General Golubev.
Soon, Major General Golubev rushed to General Timoshenko's office.
General Timoshenko told Major General Golubev everything. He was not afraid of Major General Golubev going to Gaomi, because Major General Golubev was considered his old subordinate. In addition, the current situation is like this. If Germany people don't surrender, everyone will only die in the end. Therefore, based on General Timoshenko's understanding of Major General Golubev, he believed that Major General Golubev would definitely make the right choice.
In fact, that's exactly what happened. Major General Golubev also doesn't want to die. Without any hesitation, he agreed to cooperate. As soon as 4th Army Corps takes action, he will also order the arrest of those political workers.
General Timoshenko is very satisfied with the statement of Major General Golubev. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, General Timoshenko decided to start taking action tomorrow.
After receiving the order from General Timoshenko, Russian 4th Army Corps Commander Major General Korobkov first ordered the arrest of those political workers in the army. At the same time, lead the trusted team to Area Army Headquarters. And Major General 10th Army Corps Commander Golubev also issued the same order.
For a time, the political workers of the two main army groups of Western Front were all arrested.
The troops led by Area Army Headquarters and Major General Korobkov took over the defense here. Under the instruction of General Timoshenko, the guards at the headquarters did not resist.
Afterwards, Major General Korobkov led people directly into the office of Front Army Political Commissar General Fominikh.
Seeing Major General Korobkov rushing into his office with someone, General Fominikh's expression suddenly changed.
"Comrade Korobkov, what do you want to do? Leading people to attack the headquarters without permission is a capital crime!" Fominikh said in a stern tone.
"Dear Comrade Political Commissar, unfortunately, your current order can no longer scare me!" Major General Korobkov sneered on his face.
"Come here, arrest Comrade Political Commissar!" Major General Korobkov ordered.
"How dare you!" General Fominikh shouted.
However, no one paid attention to his Political Commissar anymore, and the soldiers arrested him directly.
After being dragged out of the office, General Fominikh saw General Timoshenko.
"Comrade Commander, save me! These people are going to launch a mutiny!" General Fominikh shouted loudly.
However, General Timoshenko didn't even look at him.
General Fominikh immediately knew that General Timoshenko was behind all this. He also immediately guessed the intentions of General Timoshenko and others.
"Timoshenko, how dare you betray Comrade Joseph, betray our party and country! Comrade Joseph will never let you go. Your family members will all be hanged!" General Fominikh cursed.
General Timoshenko and others' expressions suddenly became unsightly. He knew that what General Fominikh said was true. Buru has always been very strict with betrayers and surrenderers. Even if they can't be dealt with immediately, their family members left behind in Buru will definitely suffer as a result. At the least, he would be sent to Siberia to dig potatoes, at most, he would be shot or hanged directly. Joseph is a man who would never say anything that would bring harm to his family. When he is crazy, he can do anything.
General Timoshenko knows that his family may be dead this time.
However, he was unwilling to make him stop. He was only in his forties now, so it would be unworthy to die like this.
"Comrade Fominikh, if our family is killed by Joseph, I swear that I will never let him go! One day, I will kill him with my own hands!" Timoshenko said through gritted teeth.
General Fominikh was stunned, not knowing what to say. He knew that people like General Timoshenko were already determined to betray Buru, and it was useless to say anything.
After arresting the political workers in the army and taking control of the army, General Timoshenko immediately sent people to contact Germany, hoping that Germany would accept their surrender.
General Timoshenko also doesn't know whether Germany will accept them. However, this is the last way to survive.
