Chapter 1936 We can call each other comrades-in-arms
Malashenko did not come empty-handed. He also brought important things that will be used today: prizes and commemorative medals specially awarded to the students.
Although he has accepted the reality that he is the presenter of the award, Malashenko still has one thing that worries him.
"Didn't I say that someone would come to give me an award? Why didn't I see it? It's not you who did this, right?"
Malashenko still asked this stupid question to Malokov, who could only speak in silence.
"Me? Have you ever seen a colonel awarding a major general a medal? Besides, it's a major general like you. If I had really done this, I would probably be dismissed and inspected tomorrow. I won't award you a medal on such an important occasion.
dare."
"Well......"
I thought to myself that this was what happened, and Malashenko, who was no longer garrulous, asked as he walked.
"Then who could it be? I don't seem to see any special big shot here."
I don't know if he "knew but didn't tell me on purpose" or if he was really unaware. He continued to walk forward while chatting with Malashenko, and casually lifted his sleeve and glanced at his wrist.
The time on the watch seems to be confirming something intentionally.
"Don't worry, I guess it's about time. Anyway, there is no precise time, so just do what you should do first, and you will have a solution when the time comes. Trust me."
"..."
Malokov is the direct person in charge of the entire action plan. Although he still has superiors to report to and coordinate with, he is the highest-level person in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Malashenko can contact.
So since Malokov said so, there was no other way to do it. Malashenko, who couldn't find anyone to ask, could only do it.
The first item in the process is the speech. Logically speaking, Malashenko should have spoken a few sentences on the stage. Even if he did not speak from beginning to end, he should at least say a few simple sentences. As the chief instructor, if he did not say
Something always feels a bit off about whatever I order.
However, Comrade Ma was afraid of trouble. Malokov tried hard to persuade Malashenko, but was rejected with the excuse that "I am stupid and can't speak nice words. Forcing me to go there will only embarrass the motherland."
When Malokov heard this, he might have been dubious and finally believed it. He had no other choice but to force the case and take care of the matter on behalf of Malashenko. If he really wanted to say it, he could do it himself.
He is still the person directly responsible for this work, and he does have the qualifications to go on stage and say a few words.
The two-in-one ceremony platform for speeches and awards was set up right in front of the neatly lined up IS2 heavy tanks.
It is indeed not Malokov who takes the stage to give a speech first, but the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Major General Charleson, the head of the British Officer Corps. Let him come on stage to say a few words first, which is also a gesture of loyalty to the guests.
Respect, no big deal.
Looking at Major General Charlieson, wearing a straight Major General uniform and holding a speech in his hand, he walked to the stage, adjusted the microphone slightly and pointed it at himself before preparing to speak. Malashenko, who was an audience member in the audience, had already
He put on a comfortable look and planned to listen to what Major General Charleson had to say.
"Gentlemen, half a month has passed much faster than I imagined. During this half month, we have gained valuable knowledge, skills, and a group of like-minded people in this strange and foreign land.
, the Soviet warriors who, like us, are brave and fearless for the righteousness of all mankind, are not afraid of sacrifice, and fight hard to crush the evil ambitions of fascism."
"Today, here, under the same sky that allows us to breathe together. I not only want to call them comrades, but also want to call them more."
"It is true justice and common goals that bring us together, and we are gathered here today to share this precious and strong feeling of comrades-in-arms. We can trust each other, use our youth, blood, and great
Sacrifice in exchange for a brighter future for all mankind and go down in history."
“Here, I would also like to thank General Malashenko. He has selflessly shared his most valuable combat experience and the knowledge he has mastered with us, making the sword against Fascism’s evil ambitions sharper and more deadly, able to directly
Stab the evil black heart of Phasis."
"What I want to say is that he is not only a hero of his own country, but also an anti-fascist hero and a true warrior that all mankind deserves to remember. One day in the future, when we gather again, we will
Under the same sky, enjoying the joy of victory at that time, I firmly believe that all of us will remember this scene today, remember what we said on this land today, and feel proud of it.
.”
"Remember today, we, who are also soldiers, once said: We can call each other comrades-in-arms."
.......
Bang bang bang——
A brief silence was followed by thunderous applause. Even Malashenko, who was sitting in the audience and just being an audience, couldn't help but smile and applaud, giving his own applause for this wonderful speech.
It has to be said that Major General Charleson, who was born in an aristocratic family, does have a way of speaking. Even if he does not give unscripted speeches, he can still speak a certain way. His voice is full of emotion, and he has considerable appeal and the ability to mobilize emotions.
It was as if everyone present was a true comrade of the same nationality, trusting each other without distinguishing between you and me. Malashenko gradually began to understand why even the Americans with their nostrils turned upward were willing to recognize a British guy as an ally.
The general leader of the officer corps.
In terms of personal ability, Major General Charlieson does have this ability. Even Malashenko has to say "I approve" of this.
After finishing his speech, Major General Charlieson put away his manuscript and walked off the podium with a smile, and returned to the audience. His seat was right next to Comrade Ma.
"That's a good point, man. Your soldiers must really love a commander like you. Am I right?"
Major General Charlieson spoke before the brother next to him sat down. Upon hearing Malashenko's question, Major General Charlieson could only smile helplessly.
"It's not bad, but not as good as you. If my soldiers can be like your soldiers, maybe the Germans will be chased by us and spanked until they pee. The scene we watched on the front line is still vivid today."
gave me a deep impression."
"I look forward to training a force like your leader's division after I return home this time. There is no doubt that it will be a truly iron-blooded and powerful army."
Others may say this out of politeness, but Major General Charlieson is different.
Malashenko knew that this middle-aged aristocrat was actually a pretty good person. He did not have the airs and bad habits of traditional aristocrats, but at the same time he retained the advantages of aristocrats, such as his easy-going and humble temperament.
Chatting with this old British man is something Malashenko has often done in the past two days. Even if it is just a casual chat, it is a good experience.
"When you feel that you have trained a unit as strong as the Leader's Division, maybe you can tell me. Then I will write you a congratulatory letter, and you can read it to your boys. I don't even know how to congratulate you.
Think about it."
Upon hearing this, Major General Charleson smiled, just like the smile on Malashenko's face.
"Of course, in addition to being comrades-in-arms, we are still friends. We are today, we will be in the future, and we will always be."
