June 26, 1940, at 9:00 a.m., on the outskirts of Josefgrad.

  General Popov, the commander of the Russian Army's Josephgrad Front Army, surrendered to the German army on behalf of the Russian army stationed in the city of Josephgrad.

  Teams of Russian soldiers lined up neatly and passed the weapon placement points one by one. Put the rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars, etc. in their hands there. Soon, the weapons there piled up like a hill.

  These Russian soldiers seemed to want to keep their glory at the last moment.

  Marshal Brauchitsch, commander of the German Army Group D, accepted the surrender of the Russian army on behalf of the German army.

  When Admiral Popov handed over the gun to Marshal Brauchitsch, it represented the end of the Battle of Josephgrad.

   "Long live! Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The officers and soldiers of the German army cheered. They finally won the battle at Josephgrad. This also means that Germany has won more than half of the Russian battlefield. The remaining Russian troops were no longer a cause for concern.

   On the other hand, the soldiers of the Russian army looked a little unhappy. After all, as a soldier, surrendering to the enemy at the last moment seems to be a shame anyway.

  The surrender of the Russian army in Josephgrad gave the German army an absolute advantage on the Russian battlefield. Although, the Russian army in Moscow is still insisting. However, how long can they persist under the attack of the superior German army?

   After the Josephgrad Front surrendered to the Germans, Marshal Guderian, commander of the German Army Group B, once again sent an envoy to see General Zhukov. If possible, he still hopes that the Russian army in Moscow can also surrender to the German army like the Russian army in Josephgrad. In this case, they would not have to pay the price for destroying these Russian troops.

  In fact, the Josephgrad Front Army surrendered to the German army, which also caused a great shock to the Russian troops stationed in Moscow. You must know that the troops assembled by the Russian army in Josephgrad are only a lot more than the troops assembled in Moscow. But now, even the Josephgrad Front has surrendered, so is it necessary for them to continue in Moscow? Even if they continue to persevere, it must be meaningless to this war. After all, Russia wants to defeat Germany and win this war, which seems impossible now. Even fools know that Russia is just lingering on its last days. As long as the German army continues to attack, Russia will be destroyed before this winter.

  Since Russia is doomed to perish, naturally not everyone is willing to be buried with Russia. No one wants to die, even if it is a humble life, quite a few people will be willing.

  Joseph's suicide and the surrender of the Josephgrad Front Army once again weakened the will to fight of the Russian soldiers who stood firm in Moscow. There are already a lot of soldiers who voluntarily chose to surrender when they were attacked by the German army. They didn't have the courage to fight anymore, and they didn't want to fight anymore.

"Comrade Commander, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Some of our troops have even surrendered to the Germans. If this continues, we will lose all of our troops within a week at most. The position." Major General Liapin reported to General Zhukov with a worried face.

  General Zhukov frowned tightly. As a general who leads troops to fight, he can also feel how fragile the troops' fighting will is now. Even the hearts of the people are scattered, so how can we fight! It is already very difficult to resist the German attack.

   "Comrade Commander, the Germans have sent an envoy again, would you like to see him?" Major General Liapin continued.

   At this juncture, the German army sent an envoy again, and the purpose was naturally obvious. Until now, the Germans have not given up on persuading the Russian army to surrender Moscow.

  If it was before, General Zhukov could still say in righteous words that they would fight to the death for Russia, and fight to the last. But now Russia is inevitably doomed. Does he still have that confidence? Even if General Zhukov himself has such courage and confidence. But, are the other Russian soldiers with one heart?

   "Comrade Political Commissar, what do you think?" General Zhukov did not answer, but looked at Lieutenant General Krugrov.

   "Comrade Commander, it seems that Russia really has no hope!" Lieutenant General Krugrov said.

  General Zhukov was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, he understood what Lieutenant General Krugrov meant. Russia now has no hope and is doomed to perish. Under such circumstances, there is no need for them to persevere. In that case, it will only pay a higher price.

"Comrade Commander, we have already lost this battle, and there is no chance of a comeback. The Germans have too great an advantage. No matter how hard we try, it is impossible to keep our country. As long as there is still a trace of If there is a chance, we are all willing to fight to the death. But now there is no chance at all! Under such circumstances, if we continue to resist, we will only pay unnecessary sacrifices." Major General Liaping also said.

   "Yes, Comrade Commander. I fully agree with Comrade Chief of Staff." Lieutenant General Krugrove said.

  General Zhukov was silent, why didn't he know that Russia is now at its final juncture? In other words, it has reached the point of no return.

  If Joseph is here, there may be a turning point. No matter how unfavorable the situation is, everyone can only persevere under Joseph's order. In that case, Russia may still have a chance.

  However, even Joseph is dead now, so naturally no one will scare those generals anymore. In order to survive, those generals will naturally choose a method that is beneficial to them. Therefore, the Josephgrad Front Army will directly surrender to the Germans. This further shakes the foundation of Russia.

  Zhukov knew that if he continued to hold out in Moscow, a large part of them might surrender directly to the Germans. However, there must be some people who are willing to continue to stick to it. However, is there any point in going on like this? Just let more people shed blood and die. And it was needless bloodshed.

  Thinking of these, Zhukov already made a decision in his heart.
