Chapter 844 Cuikov (2)

After reading the German surrender message with a dark face, Chuikov was furious. He tore the message in his hand into pieces, threw it on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and cursed. "These damn Germans, do they think I am Timoshenko and Budyonny?! I will never surrender! I will never betray the Soviet Union!"

After cursing for a long time, Chuikov was a little tired of cursing. He waved his hand, signaled the adjutant to leave, and specifically reminded him. "This matter must be kept absolutely confidential and must not be leaked at all!" Although he had no intention of betraying, if this matter was reported to Moscow and to Comrade Stalin's ears, it would be a big trouble. Think about it, because of the "recruitment" broadcast made by the rebellious Timoshenko, Konev, who was sent to take over the Western Front, was recalled to Moscow just two days after taking office. He was appointed as a senior staff officer of the Supreme Command together with Rokossovsky, Zhukov and others, and could only express some opinions that Stalin might not adopt.

If Stalin knew about this, it would be a small matter to transfer him back to Moscow. He might even be arrested and interrogated on the spot.

"Yes, don't worry."

Watching the adjutant leave the room and close the door, Chuikov lay back on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Although he tried his best to control himself from thinking, the content mentioned in the telegram just now kept flashing in his mind.

People are not saints. There are only two people in the world who can truly be free of selfishness and ambition, and he is just an ordinary person.

The conditions offered by the Germans are enough to make many people excited. After all, it is the temptation of building a country and maintaining peace. How many people can resist it?

... Establish a country of his own... Join Germany's alliance after the founding of the country... The Soviet Union is about to perish... And the end of the Soviet Union is also the end of Stalin, and he doesn't have to worry about Stalin's revenge...

At this moment, his sleepiness has long disappeared without a trace, and his mind is full of imaginations that make him excited.

In this way, he tossed and turned until dawn, but he couldn't make up his mind. There are too many things involved, such as Stalin's remaining deterrence and the various forces in the Far East. The Germans did not say how much territory they would give him, and his country might eventually become a vassal of Germany. The millions of troops and mountains of supplies in the Far East are not small bargaining chips, and they might be able to bargain with the Germans.

In this way, time passed day by day while he was hesitant.

On the other side of the Aleutian Islands, batches of German heavy bombers stationed at the airport on Adak Island.

On this day, fifty ME-264d high-altitude bombers took off from Adak Island and flew towards the city of Khabarovsk in the Far East.

The Soviet radar discovered this group of uninvited guests, and the news was immediately transmitted to Chuikov's headquarters.

"What?!" Commander Chuikov was shocked. Although he had long known that the Germans were building fortifications on Adak Island, he did not expect that they would complete a large airport capable of taking off and landing heavy bombers so quickly. This was simply amazing! He didn't know that the German runway was made of perforated steel plates, and thought it still needed to be built with cement.

But he was helpless about it. After all, if he could intercept the German high-altitude bombers, Moscow would not be bombed every day.

I heard that the Americans had a Gundam 1 anti-aircraft gun; but the Americans' production was limited, and they couldn't even deploy it in most of their own cities, so how could they support it? I heard that the drawings of the anti-aircraft guns were supported, but it was almost impossible for their industrial technology to build such a sophisticated heavy anti-aircraft gun.

Chuikov could only order the air defense alarm to be sounded and let the residents in the city hide in the air-raid shelter.

The shrill air defense alarm sounded over the major cities in the Far East. Although the situation on the front line was indeed not optimistic, this was the rear area, and it had never been bombed by the German army since the outbreak of the war. The sudden air defense alarm plunged the entire city into chaos.

"Oh my god! Are the Germans coming?!"

"Hurry, hide in the air-raid shelter!"

Fortunately, they had conducted several exercises before. Despite the chaos, residents from all over the country still hid in nearby air-raid shelters, nervously discussing how the German planes could fly here. However, they also heard that German bombers often bombed the US mainland. Even the US mainland across the Atlantic Ocean could not escape the German bombing. It seemed that it was not a new thing for the Germans to come here. They could only envy and be jealous of the Germans for being able to build such a perverted super bomber with such a range and flight altitude.

In the nervous waiting, the German bomber formation finally flew over the city of Khabarovsk.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the bomber group slowly opened the bomb bay.

"Start dropping bombs!" The commander of the bomber formation gave the order to drop bombs. The bombardiers of each crew pulled down the bomb wrench with force. With the sound of the bomber throwing action rubbing against the bomb body, the dense bombs fell rapidly like raindrops, and the air whistle installed at the tail began to emit a heart-wrenching whistle.

"Boom boom boom!"

The earth shook violently in the deafening explosion.

Hundreds of tons of napalm bombs hit the city of Khabarovsk, igniting a raging fire.

"Comrade Commander, if the Germans destroyed all the cities..." As Commander Chuikov's close confidant, the adjutant had long noticed Commander Chuikov's abnormality. It was obvious that Commander Chuikov was moved by the Germans' proposal, but he had not made up his mind yet. "Then we will have no bargaining chips at that time."

"But..." Commander Chuikov was still a little hesitant.

If Commander Chuikov could really establish an independent country, he would be a founding hero, and he might even be able to become the commander of the Ministry of National Defense. Therefore, the adjutant tried his best to persuade Chuikov. "Comrade Commander, the outcome is clear now, and the demise of Moscow is only a matter of time. If we don't stand on the side now, what value will we have when the Germans capture Moscow?!"

After persuading for a long time, Chuikov still couldn't make up his mind.

The next day, the German bomber group came again and dropped hundreds of tons of napalm bombs on another city, Yakutsk, and the whole city was also in flames.

Chuikov was a little impatient. If the Germans continued to bomb like this, the entire Far East would become a ruin. What conditions would the Germans have to negotiate at that time?

When the third city became a raging sea of ​​fire, he finally made up his mind, contacted the Germans, and contacted various forces in the Far East, and successfully obtained the support of most of these forces.
