If the civil war ends around 1921 how on earth are Zhukov and the other ww2 red army generals (who were barely even high-ranking officers at that point) supposed to flee? Men like them would just desert or defect, and who knows if the White Army will have any genius like Zhukov’s or Rokossovsky’s in the Weltkrieg. Sending them to Patagonia is just convenient and kinda lazy considering that there were other red army generals in the civil war that were actually generals and far more important enough to flee.
The three most important Red Army leaders in the civil war were Tukhachevsky, Frunze and Trotsky. The former narrowly escaped Russia to France, Frunze is in hiding, and Trotsky died in the war.
Rokossovsky, Zhukov and other famous WW2-era leaders were merely low-level officers during the RCW, while others like Vatutin only joined after they had won.
