Chapter 17 August 12th daytime, the situation of the Southwestern Front Army

```

On August 12 at 1300 hours, at Argesukov, the Southwestern Front Army Headquarters.

The Front Army Chief of Staff and the Front Army Bishop sat in the map room of the significantly thinned-out headquarters staff, watching the staff officers burn documents.

"This morning's telegram, Skorobo seems to have been treated as a traitor, and his whole family was arrested," the Chief of Staff looked toward the Front Army Bishop. "Is there any different information on the church's side?"

The Bishop clicked his tongue, "There's a rumor that Skorobo himself was shot dead by Rokossovsky—the thin one."

"In the Tribunal's underground headquarters?" the Chief of Staff asked curiously.

"No, at the Summer Palace, in front of the current Crown Princess and many senior officers of the High Command."

The Chief of Staff's eyes widened, "Really? The telegram didn't mention it at all. Could he really get away with such a deed?"
