After the war, Zhukov served as commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army Group in Germany and the highest military administrator of the Soviet-occupied area. He returned to China on April 10, 1946 and served as Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Army. At this time, his light had overshadowed Stalin's and he had become a hero that attracted everyone's attention. This was something Stalin could not tolerate. In June, because Marshal Rokossovsky and Marshal Vasilevsky upheld justice and resolutely refuted the statement that Marshal Zhukov had a conspiracy, Stalin did not decide to arrest Zhukov. On June 9, 1946, according to Luo Zhi's Stalin signed an order accusing Zhukov of being "immodest, too arrogant, and taking credit for the decisive role in winning all major battles during the war." He pointed out that "Marshal Zhukov was filled with hatred and prepared to trap some frustrated and dismissed commanders. members, engaged in activities against the government and the Supreme Command." Zhukov's three important positions were revoked, he was expelled from the Party Central Committee, and was demoted to the post of commander of the Odessa Military District, and later to the Ural Military District. This is the second severe test Zhukov faces. Before Stalin died, he unexpectedly summoned Zhukov, but he died before he could say anything to him. In March 1953, he was appointed First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union. In February 1955, he was appointed Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union. On June 11, 1957, the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union held a meeting. Malenkov and other seven people demanded that Khrushchev resign as first secretary. Khrushchev did not accept it and demanded that a plenary meeting of the Party Central Committee be convened to decide his stay. Zhukov supported Khrushchev and ordered the Ministry of Defense to use military aircraft to quickly bring Central Committee members to Moscow. On June 19, more than 300 Central Committee members, alternate members and inspection committee members held a plenary session, and most members expressed support for Khrushchev. Malenkov, Molotov and others were dismissed from their posts. Zhukov fiercely criticized Malenkov and others at the conference, saying that they were also responsible for participating in the bloody purges of Red Army commanders in the 1930s. The person accused argued: "At that time, everyone had to sign the arrest document to express their consent. You, Zhukov, knew it very well. If you look through the documents at that time, you can probably find the document signed by you, Zhukov." On the rostrum. Zhukov suddenly turned around and replied: "No, you can't find it, go and look for it! You will never find this kind of document signed by me!" Zhukov's innocence made even less innocent people wonder. I felt morally condemned. As soon as Khrushchev himself had overcome the political crisis, he began to feel uneasy about the highly respected Zhukov. On October 26, 1957, Zhukov was suddenly removed from the post of Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, and was also disqualified from being a member of the Presidium of the Party Central Committee and a member of the Central Committee. Zhukov's former subordinates and colleagues were mobilized to publicly accuse Zhukov. Some generals who were rescued by Zhukov on the battlefield also came forward to attack. The wall fell and everyone pushed, and Zhukov was in trouble. He returned to his hometown not far from Moscow, took some sleeping pills, slept soundly for a few hours, woke up, ate something, took sleeping pills again, and fell asleep again... This continued. 15 days. In his sleep, he recalled everything in the past, leaving all the gains and losses, honors and disgrace behind, and then went fishing. Then, he proposed to the Party Central Committee to recuperate, and he withdrew from the political stage. Khrushchev, who had a premonition that the future was not good, called Zhukov on the eve of his resignation and said: "You have been falsely accused. We should meet." His assistant was preparing to arrange a meeting between the two of them. What they wanted to discuss was to restore relations. and the issue of arranging a new job for Zhukov. Khrushchev wanted to use this to improve his prestige in the army, but history did not give him this opportunity. In March 1958, Zhukov officially retired. In October 1964, Khrushchev was dismissed from his post and Brezhnev came to power. Zhukov's situation improved slightly, but the eavesdropping on him continued until the moment of his death more than nine years later. The KGB was always monitoring him, and even the conversations he had with his wife in the bedroom were recorded and reported to the top brass.
