Burning Moscow

When I heard Stalin's words to Zhukov, I suddenly realized that Zhukov sent me to the horse, and did not expect me to persuade Stalin to change things. Instead, I just asked me to make a pavement for the subsequent appearance of Rocco. Sofsky created a good persuasive environment, and finally threw out the reconnaissance analysis report that had been prepared, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of persuading the Supreme Commander himself. Judging from the current situation, he obviously achieved his goal.

Although I figured out Zhukov’s true intentions, I didn’t mean to blame him at all. After all, he created the opportunity for me to meet with the Supreme Commander himself. In this way, no matter if I continue to stay in the army, or There are great benefits to working locally.

When Stalin put down the phone and walked back to us, he slowly said to Rokosovsky: "Comrade Rokosovsky, after you return to the army, you must put the construction of fortifications at the beginning and the end. Especially for the construction of the'Oshaninna Trench', you must personally supervise the completion. Because only by completing the construction of this anti-tank trench before the German attack can it effectively resist the assault of the German armored forces."

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Rokosovsky replied with a serious expression: "When I return to the army, I will personally take care of the construction of various fortifications."

Stalin nodded, then turned to me and said, "As for you, Lida, you may not have much free time."

I heard him say this, and wondered in my heart whether he was going to send me to assist Rokosovsky. Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Rokosowski, who was standing upright next to him. Unexpectedly, after seeing this little movement of me, Stalin waved his hand, wanting to see through my heart as if: "Lida. You are wrong, I will not send you to the Central Front of Comrade Rokosovsky for the time being. Go. Your task is to follow the delegation to the United States in mid-April."

Seeing that there was no change in the expression on my face, Stalin thought that I didn’t care about it, and he deliberately explained: “As early as the end of last year. We sent a female sniper Lyudmila with outstanding achievements. Follow our youth delegation to visit the United States. Her mission is to represent the Supreme Command to persuade the politicians and people there to support the Allies to counterattack the European continent, open up a second battlefield, and force the Nazis to divide their forces, thereby reducing the pressure on us. "

When his words came to an end, I asked carefully: "What is my mission?"

Stalin pointed at me with a fist clenched in the pipe, and said: "Although Lyudmila visited Roosevelt and became one of the first Soviet citizens to visit the White House, he also successfully established a friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. .But it may be because her level is too low. She is just a lieutenant, so she called for the second battlefield, and no one responded. This time, I decided to send you to follow the delegation to the United States and continue to complete Lyudmila The mission that the lieutenant did not complete. Are you confident?" He deliberately increased his tone when he said the last sentence.

Regarding Stalin’s question, I dare not answer casually, because I know that Normandy landed in 1944. So even if I was sent to the United States to lobby, the time to open up the second battlefield would not be advanced. Because of this, it took a while. I didn't have enough confidence to say: "Comrade Stalin, I will do my best."

After saying this, I stared at Stalin nervously, fearing that he would be furious because of my answer. Fortunately, my worry was unnecessary. He only glanced at me, and then walked around the house without saying a word.

See this move by Stalin. Rokosovsky, who was standing by, cast a reproachful look at me. And I could only smile at him bitterly, saying that there are too many aspects involved in opening up the second battlefield. How could the United Kingdom and the United States immediately settle the matter of opening up the second battlefield without hesitation just because of a few words from a little-known person of mine.

Stalin walked for a while. He finally stopped. He seemed to have forgotten my answer just now. Instead, he said to himself: "Lida, I will send someone to teach you English these days, so that when you meet with the US military, you don’t have to. Bringing an interpreter at any time can also prevent leaks from happening."

These few words of him made me complain again and again, you think English is so easy to learn, the latest chapter of Xiaoling's Adventure. In just over a month, even if I am a linguistic genius, it would be great to master the vocabulary necessary for basic communication. If I want to remember those military professional vocabulary, I feel a bit catching a duck.

However, thinking of the reply just now made Stalin a displeased expression on his face. If I raise difficulties at this moment, I will probably leave a bad impression in his heart, so he swollen his face and said: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, I will use this time to study English seriously. I assure you that you will be proficient in this foreign language before going to the United States."

My reply made Stalin a satisfied smile on his face. He nodded and said: "Very well, I am very satisfied to see you have such confidence. It is getting late, you go back first, I There is still something to be discussed with Comrade Rokosovsky."

Hearing that he gave me the eviction order, I felt a moment of relief in my heart. I quickly raised my hand to salute him and Rokosovsky, and then turned and walked towards the door.

I came to the outside room. Poskerebeshev, who was busy sitting at the table, raised his head, smiled and asked, "Comrade Oshanina, are you going back?"

"Yes, Boskrebeshev." To the head of the supreme commander's office, I said respectfully: "Can you tell me where I can find the colonel who sent me?"

"Please wait a minute, I will let him over right away." Poskrebshev said, picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and said into the microphone: "Hey, this is Poskrebshev. , General Oshanina intends to go back to her residence, you ask Comrade Colonel to come over."

When he put down the phone, he pointed to the empty chair next to him, and said, "Comrade Oshanina, sit down first. The colonel who escorted you home will come over immediately."

After he waited for me to sit down, he didn't talk to me anymore, instead he lowered his head and hurriedly looked at the documents in front of him.

After about two or three minutes, the area leading to the corridor suddenly opened. The colonel who had sent me appeared at the door. Seeing his presence, Poskrebeshev raised his head again and told him: "Colonel, since Colonel Bezikov has another business, I will leave it to you to **** General Oshanina home."

The colonel agreed. Then he turned his body aside, made a gesture of invitation to me, and said politely: "Comrade General, please, I will take you home."

I stood up and thanked Poskrebeshev. Go out with the colonel.

After I returned to my residence, Yushchenko, who had been waiting for me for almost a day at home, was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. After finally seeing me appear, he immediately greeted me. Asked politely: "Comrade General, you are back. Doctor Sergey has been waiting for more than four hours."

"Doctor Sergey?" Hearing the name of my attending doctor, I couldn't help being a little puzzled. The suture had already been removed, and I was officially discharged from the hospital. What else did he pursue? Although there were many doubts in my heart, I pretended to calmly ask: "Where is he?"

"In the living room." Yushchenko replied simply.

When I walked into the house with him. He also asked specifically: "Lieutenant, did Dr. Sergey say, why did he come to me?"

Yushchenko shook his head. He replied: "I don't know. I asked him once, but he said that he must wait for you to come back before he can tell you the latest news."

Inexplicably, after cursing secretly in my heart, I went to the living room and saw Sergey, who had been waiting for a long time. I saw him. I took the initiative to stretch out my hands to him and said politely: "Hello. Dr. Sergey, welcome you to my guest." But when I saw the empty wooden table beside Sergey. I turned my head and told Yushchenko: "Comrade Captain, go and bring the doctor a cup of coffee and find something to eat."

As soon as Yushchenko left, I sat down at the table while looking at Sergey who was still standing, and asked strangely: "Comrade doctor, is there anything important for you to come to me at this time? ?"

"That's it, Comrade General." Sergey said with a serious face: "After our inspection, your subordinate, Vasily Zaitsev, has a serious eye injury, and there may be no cure. Reading. Therefore, after discussing with the military representatives, Dean Ossiminen decided to perform eyeball removal surgery for Comrade Vasily."

"What, eyeball removal surgery?" Sergey's words shocked me, and I asked nervously: "If Comrade Vasily removes his eyeballs, wouldn't he be blind?"

Sergey nodded and said with certainty: "You are right, Comrade General, once his eyeballs are removed, not only will he be unable to work as a sniper, but he may also lose control of his emotions because of his blindness."

"Doctor Sergey, you came to me, don’t know what your purpose is?" I was puzzled by Sergey’s sudden appearance, so I could only break the casserole: "Also, this surgical plan has been changed. Is it possible?"

"That's why I came here to find you, Comrade General." Sergey said to me nervously, "Only you can prevent this kind of tragedy from happening."

"Actually, according to my diagnosis, although Comrade Vasily's eye injury cannot be healed for a long time, it was because shrapnel was inserted into the eyeball, which affected his recovery and was not enough to remove the eyeball." Sergey Probably because he was agitated, his speaking speed became very fast: "So I took the liberty to run to you, I hope you can come forward and talk to someone above to avoid letting a good sniper The tragedy of being blind happened."

Sergey's words made me realize the seriousness of the matter, and I quickly asked: "In order to prevent this tragedy from happening, who should I negotiate with this matter? Is it Comrade Osiminin, the Dean? ?"

I didn’t know that Sergey shook his head hesitantly after hearing what I said, and replied: “For this matter, maybe even Dean Ossiminen can’t do anything about it. Military representative."

"Military representative?" When I heard this term, I was particularly surprised and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What does this military representative do?"

"Comrade General, you also know that it is during the war." When Sergey explained this to me, his expression was full of helplessness: "All hospitals are included in the management of the army, and our hospitals are also No exception. And this military representative was sent by the military to our hospital."

Hearing what he said, I understand that the military representative must be of a higher rank than Ossiminen, and he is a eloquent role in the hospital. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, I asked, "What is his rank?" I seem to have no confidence, and said that as long as the opponent's rank is equal to or higher than mine, then I must go to Zhukov to come forward to coordinate.

"Lieutenant, Comrade General." Sergey replied quickly: "He is only a lieutenant. Although his rank is much lower than yours, he is the same in the hospital."

I heard that the other party was just a small lieutenant, and my confidence came up. When he finished speaking, I immediately asked: "When is Vasily's surgery scheduled?"

"Tomorrow morning~www.NovelMTL.com~ Sergei said anxiously: "The operation will be performed by Dean Ossiminen himself. "

Although I just came back from the outside, I couldn’t stay any longer when I heard about such a major event. I quickly told Yushchenko: "Comrade Captain, you can borrow a jeep at the headquarters. We must be there immediately. Go to the eye hospital."

Yushchenko just stood by and heard all the conversation clearly. He was also worried about Vasily's fate. Hearing my order, he immediately agreed and ran out quickly.

After watching Yushchenko's departure, Sergey continued and said: "Vasily’s eyes seem to be incurable on the surface, but according to my recent research, I only need to perform another operation to remove the shrapnel left in his eyeballs. There is hope for his eyes to recover." Seeing the joy on my face, he quickly added, "But even if the eyes are good, his vision will be severely damaged, and he will have to wear glasses by then. ."

Regarding his concern, I shook my hand and said disapprovingly: "Comrade doctor, for an excellent sniper like Vasily, even if his eyesight is poor, he is definitely better than being blind." Thinking of Sergey for this. After waiting for me for several hours, I smiled and said to him: "Thank you, Dr. Sergey, on behalf of Comrade Vasily, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you!"
