Chapter 1213

The purpose of the United States' assistance to the Soviet Union is to enable the Soviet Union to continue to resist the German attack, consume German strength and buy time for the United States. Stalin certainly knows this.

It seems that the Soviet Union was used by the United States, but now the Soviet Union can only do so. At the beginning, the Soviet Union still dreamed of a war between the United States and Germany, allowing the United States to consume Germany's strength, and then the Soviet Union benefited. Now it seems that the Soviet Union's plan at that time was too naive.

Nevertheless, the Soviet Union had no choice. After all, the support of the United States was beneficial to the Soviet Union. Especially now, the Soviet industry has suffered great damage and needs blood transfusion from the United States. The support of the United States is too useful to the Soviet Union.

As for the division of the scope of interests, it can only be realized after the war. Now it needs blood transfusion from the United States.

While Stalin and Hopkins were communicating with each other, they returned to Moscow with apprehension.

Pavlov.

Think about these years, Pavlov is not an absolute straw bag. He fought step by step on the battlefield. Pavlov also fought many heroic battles in Spain.

But now he has become a sinner of the Soviet Union.

Hundreds of thousands of troops fell into the German encirclement. Pavlov lost the troops of the whole western special military region. He had been removed from office. Under Stalin's order, he returned to Moscow.

Pavlov kept procrastinating and there was chaos everywhere. He let a lot of trains pass, but finally he didn't escape. He stepped on an empty wagon and returned to Moscow.

He came back with some of his men. At this time, everyone's eyes were dead ash.

Pavlov was originally a fat general. In the past few days, he has lost weight, and his cheekbones are exposed on his face. In these days, he has not eaten, but smoked one by one.

Pavlov knew that he was in danger this time.

Now, when he came to Moscow, Pavlov also knew that the time for his trial had come.

"Zhukov, nice to meet you." Just after he returned to Moscow, he did not expect to see Zhukov again.

Zhukov completely became the fire captain. He returned to Moscow last time to discuss the western front. After returning to Kiev, he was called back two days later. Zhukov knew that he must come back for Petersburg this time.

Now, Zhukov accidentally saw Pavlov.

"I want to talk to you about the western special military region." As if the drowning man had grabbed the straw, Pavlov wanted to get close to Zhukov.

Zhukov shook his head. "I'd better say these words with Comrade Stalin."

Zhukov also commented on Pavlov. In Zhukov's eyes, Pavlov commanded at most one division and asked him to command the whole western special military region, which was definitely a disaster. As early as a year ago, when Zhukov and Pavlov were conducting exercises, they raised the issue of Pavlov's army layout, As a result, Pavlov didn't care at all.

Now, no one can save Pavlov. His life depends entirely on Stalin's attitude.

Voroshinov was killed, Pavlov. I'm afraid he'll die at Stalin's gunpoint.

Just then Stalin's guard came out and said to Zhukov, "general Zhukov, comrade Stalin is waiting for you."

Pavlov got up quickly and wanted to ask about his meeting with Stalin. He saw the Guard commander waving his hand like a fly: "Pavlov, comrade Stalin doesn't want to see you. You can report directly to the military court."

military court? Pavlov sat down on the ground with no blood on his face. He knew that everything was over.

The military court is held in the Supreme Court near the Kremlin. In addition to the judges, Molotov is now the vice chairman of the Soviet National Defense Commission and the No. 2 figure under Stalin.

There were not many people in the court and there was not much noise. Looking at his former colleagues, Molotov couldn't help sighing in his heart.

In fact, the whole front is losing now, which is determined by the overall environment. However, Pavlov lost too quickly. Now, there is no news about the whole western special military region. The worst case is that all the legions here have been wiped out by Germany.

Such an outcome is intolerable. Thinking of this, Molotov opened the information he had just obtained in his hand.

"Major general Romanov, commander of the 172nd infantry division, led his troops to break through the siege and was killed by enemy aircraft."

………

"General Kuznetsov, commander of the third group army, chose to commit suicide and die for his country after there was no hope of breaking through the siege."

"General kopetz, commander of the air force of the western special military region, committed suicide because all his headquarters were lost."

………

Pavlov was familiar with all the people. Now, they all died. Pavlov covered his head with his hand and didn't speak. At this time, he was very painful.

"On behalf of the Supreme Court, I declare that the former commander of the western special military region, de Ge Pavlov, and the chief of staff, Fu ye krimovski, have been panicked, had no direction, and sat idly by the disintegration of the army's command since the German army began its sudden attack on the Soviet Union, resulting in a large number of weapons and warehouses falling into the enemy's hands and leaving the combat posts of the western front army without permission, leaving the enemy with an opportunity to take advantage of it, He broke through the front army's defense line and caused huge losses to the troops of the entire western special military region. He was guilty of treason, deprived of his rank and executed! "

"The former communications director of the western special military region, an Jie Grigoriev, should have established continuous and unimpeded communication between the front army headquarters and the combat forces, but he showed panic, criminal inaction and did not use radio communication, resulting in the lack of command of the military operations of the combat forces in the first few days of the war. Guilty of treason, deprived of military rank and executed! "

"Ya an korobkov, the former commander of the fourth group army of the western special military region, showed panic and criminal inaction, shamefully abandoned the troops who trusted him, resulting in the disintegration of the group army and great losses. Guilty of treason, deprived of military rank and executed! "

"You have betrayed the military oath, tarnished the noble title of the Red Army soldier, and forgotten your responsibility to the motherland. When the motherland needs you most, you are panic and cowardice, criminal inaction, disintegrating the command of the troops, and leaving the combat post without permission. You will be subject to the most severe and ruthless punishment by the military law."

"Now, what else do you have to say?"

Pavlov finally raised his head, looked at the people above, and finally looked at Molotov: "I plead guilty. I really should be shot. However, I have a request. Please don't shoot me. Please send me to the battlefield and let me die on the battlefield as a soldier. This is my last request. Please tell Comrade Stalin."

Pavlov knew that he could not live, but now he just wanted to do his duty as a soldier, become a dare to die player and die on the battlefield.

Molotov nodded: "I will pass on your request to Comrade Stalin."
