Khrushchev came back eight hours later. When he finished his telegram, he took a car and went to the nearby air force base. He specially found a plane and sent him back to Moscow. Unfortunately, the plane was slow and added oil on the way.

When he returned to Moscow, Khrushchev jumped out of the car and ran inside. He was so tired that he ran to Stalin almost at one breath. Then he couldn't help kneeling down.

"Comrade Stalin, I'm guilty. It's all because I didn't discover the German plot in advance and let our troops jump into the fire pit!" Khrushchev beat his chest with his hands and cried his eyes to tears.

"Put away your tears and tell me what's going on. If you don't know, hum!" Stalin saw through Khrushchev's trick and said to Khrushchev.

Khrushchev dried his tears and said, "we were caught. We thought the Germans were unprepared. Who knows, the Germans were ready long ago. They deployed quite terrible cannons inside and behind the fortress. With one shot, they could destroy one of our artillery positions!"

"Comrade Khrushchev, please pay attention to your words and don't deliberately exaggerate!" Voroshinov said, "one gun, destroy an artillery position. Do you think we are all children?"

This battle was proposed by Khrushchev in order to win face for the Soviet Union, deter the Germans and let the Germans interfere less in Finland. However, the result is the opposite. Someone must come to carry the pot.

Khrushchev left his troops and ran back alone, but he may not be able to live. Everything depends on Comrade Stalin's judgment. In order to survive, Khrushchev deliberately fabricated facts and played up the strength of the Germans.

One gun destroys an artillery position. Who are you kidding?

"No, I'm not lying!" Khrushchev said, "that gun, which can hit dozens of kilometers away, was ambushed at a position more than ten kilometers behind Brest fortress. Our air force found the position of the cannon, but it was a pity that it could not be destroyed."

"Is that gun bigger than a naval gun?" Asked voroshinov.

"Yes, we infer that its caliber is about 800 mm." Said Khrushchev.

"Khrushchev, stop sophistry!" Stalin's face was so ugly that he couldn't help but speak and stopped Khrushchev's nonsense.

Naval gun can be a fixed fort on land at most. It is usually on the coastline. Who has heard of large caliber naval gun inland?

Besides, it's still 800 mm! You're kidding! The largest gun of the battleship was only more than 400 mm, and Stalin couldn't help it anymore.

"Comrade Stalin, I didn't lie!" Khrushchev felt his liver trembling: "their first wave suppressed our rear artillery position. Later, after our ground troops attacked, there were terrible cannons in their fortress, which could kill hundreds of us with one shot. We really suffered heavy casualties. Just when the infantry planned to give up the attack, A German armored force bypassed the woods and surrounded us... "

"Enough, somebody, take Khrushchev down!" Roared Stalin.

Khrushchev felt his legs soften immediately. Stalin was angry with him. I'm afraid his political career will be destroyed!

Outside, two guards came in and dragged Khrushchev out like a dead dog. There was no way. Khrushchev, whose legs were weak, could not stand up. His mouth still wanted to say, "Comrade Stalin, everything I said is true..."

It was easy to wait until Khrushchev came back, but what he said was appalling!

When Khrushchev's voice disappeared, Stalin looked at his men and said, "do you believe what Khrushchev just said?"

Voroshinov and bujoni shook their heads. Only young Zhukov didn't speak.

"Zhukov, what do you think?" Asked Stalin.

"Comrade Stalin, I think Khrushchev's words may be correct." Zhukov said solemnly.

Just now, Stalin was very angry at Khrushchev's words, only for the matter itself, and Stalin knew that Khrushchev would not lie on this issue.

If Khrushchev's words are correct, the problem will be serious!

The Germans are well prepared, that is to say, their plans have been leaked for some time. Who leaked them?

Stalin's eyes looked at everyone present. Only a few of them knew this secret. Although the front-line troops moved frequently, no one knew that they were going to fight Brest fortress.

Everyone who was seen seemed to know what Stalin was thinking. He shook his head and joked! Tukhachevsky and his gang have long disappeared. Everyone present has not had an affair with Germany!

"There are many possibilities for the leakage of intelligence. For example, the Germans may have deciphered our telegraph password. I suggest that we immediately replace the codebook and encryption method." Belia, who had been silent, spoke.

In the last great purge, enough people died, and the quality of the army decreased sharply. We can see it through the Finnish war and the battle of Brest fortress.

The suspicion of a great leader represents a bloodbath. Now belia took the initiative to stand up and mentioned this possibility.

Stalin nodded. Indeed, everyone present was credible. It seemed that it was indeed a matter of the telegraph code. It was really speechless.

"What we need to solve most now is how to deal with this situation." Zhukov continued: "our army was captured by the Germans. What should we do next?"

The scene was calm and everyone knew what Zhukov meant.

At the beginning, at the instigation of Khrushchev, everyone was thinking about how to humiliate the Germans after recapturing Brest fortress! How to warn the Germans not to continue to get involved in Finland.

As a result, the Soviet failed miserably. Even the coach was captured!

Soviet, what are we going to do?

If we continue to be tough, we need to increase troops and continue to fight in Brest, then a border conflict is likely to evolve into a war of annihilation!

The Soviet Union was not ready to fight a war, and even Finland had not been conquered, let alone war with Germany?

However, if you don't continue to be tough, should you just admit defeat? How could the Soviet swallow this breath! Played by the Germans again!
