It was only after Malokov mentioned this casually that Malashenko realized that he had indeed not seen Comrade Zhu for a long time, so much so that he could hardly remember the last time he met Comrade Zhu.
When do we meet gay people?
Around the time after the Battle of Prokhorovka, when Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division was first established?
Malashenko himself couldn't say clearly. After all, the time gap was too long. In the end, he could only laugh and lament that his brain was getting harder and harder to use and he was so forgetful.
That is to say, when Malashenko's brain went offline for a short time and he was thinking about something, Malokov, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke again.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you. These custom-made pistols are just prizes. They are awarded to the selected outstanding students, as well as prizes for winning the first, second and third place in the "tank biathlon" competition you made."
"As for the souvenirs that everyone has, it is this thing. The commemorative significance is greater than its own value. Maybe those Americans and British people will not value it too much. The lackeys and servants of the capitalists are so virtuous, but it is indeed this thing.
Already."
As he spoke, he took out a small box the size of his palm from his coat pocket and placed it on the table in front of Malashenko.
Malashenko reached out to take it and opened it, and then he saw that there was a commemorative medal inside.
Not only does it have a Soviet-style medal belt and exquisite relief patterns, but the center of the entire star-shaped medal is also engraved with a projection relief of an IS2 heavy tank. At the edge of the lower half of the medal, a small and brief paragraph is engraved in a ring.
Clear text.
"Commemorative medal for Operation Loyalty to Justice? Who came up with the code name for this operation? Could it be us?"
Malashenko felt that this "crazy, cool and shocking" pretentious operation code name did not match the style of the Red Army. In fact, the real truth was exactly as Malashenko expected.
"You guessed it right, it is indeed not the code name we gave for the operation. I heard that the Americans provided a large portion of the funds for this operation plan. In addition, those British guys are also asking for help from the Americans now, and they are very cowardly, so the alliance
Many things in the army are handled by these pushy Americans."
"Since it's a commemorative medal given to them, let's follow their request, and the operation code name will be unified into this. In fact, as long as we can get what we want, who cares about this? No matter what it is called, even if it is called kicking
You can do anything like Hitler's ass, but it's really useful when you get what you want."
Malokov is a very serious pragmatist. To him, those empty-headed things are no different than making a fuss. For example, the only thing he cares about in this matter is that his motherland can get
Those exchanges provided by the Americans and the British, and other things are secondary, or even insignificant. This point is quite similar to Malashenko's point of view.
Weighing this heavy medal made of pure metal in his hand, Malashenko, who was thinking about something in his head, felt that this commemorative medal that everyone has, plus the commemorative pistol combination as the prize for outstanding students and the first, second and third place, is not bad.
It's quite appropriate. My loving father is not stingy this time. It can even be said to be quite generous and thoughtful.
Thinking of this, Malashenko picked up the commemorative edition of Tokarev that was lying on the table next to him and read it again, and carefully read the Russian inscription on the gun body that he had not paid much attention to just now.
"I would like to use this gun to pay tribute to the heroic tank soldiers who participated in the anti-fascist war..."
If combined with the inscriptions on this gun, Malashenko could even predict that the price of these rare treasures, which would not exceed ten in total, would be as high as a rocket in the 21st century.
Fly to the sky.
And it is best to sell it together with the "Loyalty to Justice" commemorative medal, and the medal certificate. The gun and the medal must be awarded to the same person, so as to maximize the appreciation space and be valuable enough. In terms of value alone, the gun and the medal must be awarded to the same person.
It's definitely worth a lot more than mass-produced junk like the Artillery Ruger.
Speaking of this, Malashenko suddenly realized that he had to keep and treasure his own medals, certificates, and commemorative guns.
Even if you don’t say how much it’s worth, it’s good to just use it as a family heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation for future generations. Moreover, Malokov also said that his commemorative gun is the most unique and distinctive one.
Yes, it must be of great significance as a family heirloom.
In terms of rarity, it is the only one in the world. Isn’t it much more awesome than the Hero of the Soviet Union medals that many people have? I already have two of them. If they are not kept together, there will be three more in the future. Malashenko thought for a moment.
I feel that the unique commemorative gun and medal set that I am about to receive will be more valuable and more awesome from the perspective of the 21st century.
"Well, whether it's worth anything or not is a matter for the future. I probably won't survive until the price of this thing is raised to the Zenith Star. Who cares if my leg dies?"
Malokov came here late at night specifically to give Malashenko instructions, which are basically the above.
In addition to informing Malashenko that he must attend tomorrow's award ceremony, Malokov also reminded Malashenko to remember to put on the uniform of a tank corps major general tomorrow, and someone will be on hand to take photos. Wait until this time
After the cross-border cooperation project is successfully completed, the photos and written materials that completely record the action process will be used as publicity materials and recorded in history.
In short, this is very important. The tank corps major general's uniform must be worn tomorrow. It is the kind that must be worn if you want to be photogenic.
As for the Major General uniform of the tank corps, you must know that this thing has never been worn since Comrade Lao Ma was promoted to the present day, but he has never worn it once. He is either physically conquering the German army on the front line or on his way to physically conquer the German army.
Shenke, basically speaking, has no use for this gorgeous set of clothes.
There is no occasion to wear a formal dress at all, and he rarely even wears regular uniforms. On the battlefield, Malashenko always wears an ordinary tank soldier’s fireproof combat uniform and a tank cap, without even a recognizable military rank mark on his body.
No. If you really meet a face-blind person and don't recognize this face, you will definitely think that Malashenko is an ordinary tank soldier with a big head.
Malokov, who has known Malashenko for a long time, could more or less guess what happened. He knew that Malashenko had a somewhat nervous personality and might not be able to make such complete preparations in advance.
Therefore, I came here specially this time and brought with me a brand-new tank corps major general uniform. I was afraid that Malashenko did not bring it with him when he returned to Moscow and would not be used in the ceremony tomorrow. He never wanted Comrade Ma to see this brand-new uniform.
The answer after putting on the dress was unexpected.
"Oh, this thing. Comrade Comrade Political Commissar prepared it for me. He said it might be useful and asked me to keep it carefully. I didn't think it was in the way, so I rolled it up and stuffed it into my bag. It's still in my luggage bag. Why don't you take it out and take a look?
look?"
"..."
All that was left for Malashenko was Malokov's expression of confusion that seemed to say, "You rolled it up into a ball and stuffed it into your bag like toilet paper, and put it with other sundries? Are you serious?"
